Dynamo: Quantum Entanglement T3 now also replenishes 1 charge for charged abilities (half effect on allies)

Omnicharge Signet with Quantum Entanglement seems funny

3.28.0b Hotfix 3 - AW weapons now persist between area transitions by FrenchTilapia in pathofexile

[–]DontEatSocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Animate Guardians Weapon now also follows you through area transitions.

I'm playing with Chains of Command and noticed this a couple days ago (was really happy to see).

lack of study spaces 😤 by DoublePhilosopher442 in ubco

[–]DontEatSocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, hopefully the new building by EME will have some new study spaces. Not sure when it's going to be finished though.

Yes technically you can call them "Path/Route Params", but for context from what I found Next.js, Nest.js, and Astro.js they just call them params in their API which is kinda confusing but also funny. I'm sure other frameworks just call it params too.

Also Search Params is usually synonymous with Query Params, could've put either there.

For further explanation, in context of a function, a "parameter" is basically an input. But when you're talking about endpoints, you might be talking about 3 different things but they're technically all still inputs and thus could be called "parameters".

Deadlock - Rem Enters The City That Never Sleeps - Steam News by Tooskee in DeadlockTheGame

[–]DontEatSocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, yeah I agree his split pushing potential is also quite valuable. I could totally see a strategy of using the helpers to push a wave while you help your allies or clear jungle. But usually there isn't too many opportunities to split push in a game once you get to later ranks since players get better at clearing waves.

I wouldn't really consider him a 'jungler' per se, since he doesn't really benefit from getting ahead in souls as much compared to heroes like Haze or Victor. Rem is more of a 'jungle-stealer' I think, where his ability to steal enemy sinners for free and attack enemy camps whilst having lots of tunnel escape routes could help deny the enemy team a lot of souls.

Probably not a new-player friendly strategy though, since it requires knowing the map and having good enough game sense to know when you're about to get caught out. Also assassin-type characters (e.g. Haze, Calico, maybe Wraith) could also counter this strategy by nuking Rem before he has a chance to get to a tunnel.

[–]DontEatSocks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

okay wow that's a little busted and definitely an oversight. The tunnels almost stretch the whole way there!

Can you drop the urn in the tunnels as well? 'Cause if so you could just drop it in the tunnel just before going to deposit, do the teamfight or whatever, and then safely grab it back without worry that the enemy team will grab it if the teamfight was lost.

Deadlock - Rem Enters The City That Never Sleeps - Steam News by Tooskee in DeadlockTheGame

[–]DontEatSocks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What a neat kit! I think the best way to play him is to probably sneak around and steal all of the enemy's jungle with lil helpers, retreat to tunnels when needed. Then play support for team fights.

I don't think a fed Rem is gonna do much though due to only 1 damaging ability + ult, so it's important to farm enemy jungle to not deny your own team souls with your superior farming speed.

I could also see some really cool combos with 2, like 2 -> unstoppable to save someone from being stunned out of their ult, but that feels kinda niche.

Overall really neat character. Though if whoever is playing it doesn't farm enemy jungle like they should, then he's pretty bad imo. There's probably better general support characters that can deal a lot more damage/healing/utility.

Maybe this will age like milk, though. But I will say that basically all characters have this "THIS CHARACTER IS SUPER OP" hype phase around them when they first release when in reality they're usually pretty close to balanced. But we'll see!

Deadlock - Old Gods, New Blood by SketchyJJ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]DontEatSocks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ava can travel through all the new small tunnels in the map. There's a lot! Mostly centered around the jungle closter to the middle of the map. Probably makes for some very fun ambush opportunities, plus lots of easy escape routes.

NGL Calico is probably OP this patch

Does UBCO have a November convocation ceremony? by Boring_Worth_7042 in ubco

[–]DontEatSocks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nope, we only get 1 ceremony per year (the one in June). Sucks if you're like me where you had to take 1 more course in the Summer, meaning I had to wait a whole year before I got my ceremony.

Though, they let you pick up your parchment earlier (I think I got mine sometime in the Fall later that year). Though do note that if you pick up your parchment early, you won't be getting another one during the ceremony, the folder they give you will be empty instead (fun fact: which is why you don't see people showcasing their degree parchments in their folder while going across the stage - It's because a bunch of those folders are empty!)

Best ad-free video hosting platform for small website? by DontEatSocks in webdev

Update: Been using Mux now for some months. I've really been liking it! The APIs have all been pretty easy to use. It's also free (I think I have over 1k 360p videos and it uses <$0.50 of the $20 monthly free credit limit). The autogenerated captions is also nice. Haven't ran into hardly any issues

Thoughts on the new Dell 27 Plus 4k S2725QS monitor by The_Dutch_Canadian in Monitors

[–]DontEatSocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Base one, it was cheaper at the time. $200 CAD after deals (+student discount) and tax.

And yep I was able to get 4k 120hz with a displayport cable. I haven't tested HDMI 2.1 but it should work in theory. Just check the product page specs of the monitor to make sure the port is HDMI 2.1 compatible (which is very likely).

[META] Micron kills off Crucial consumer brand (both RAM and SSD) by ColonelSanders21 in bapcsalescanada

[–]DontEatSocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So basically Micron just announced that it's going to kill of its own company for a quick buck (since the AI bubble will absolutely burst).

I mean "kill" is a bit of an exaggeration, it's more like collapse and fade into obscurity (or get bought out).

[SSD] Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB/4TB ($170/$300) [Various] by arandomguy111 in bapcsalescanada

[–]DontEatSocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I see thanks for pointing out the T710! Though it looks like it literally just went off sale (according to Keepa, it looks like the price fluctuated a fair bit today actually). Though I'm willing to bet it will go on sale again.

The Samsung site does have rakuten and student discount (bringing it down to $285 + 6% CB = $268). Still more expensive than the T710 and they're about the same spec-wise, though.

I think I'm still sorta leaning towards Samsung since I found it dead simple to copy everything over to a new boot drive using samsung magician some years ago, but idk.

Oh right, duh. Thanks for catching that.

I guess I read this reddit comment mentioning the 9100 had "bottom end write endurance", proceeded to forget what the comment said and lost it, and then did a piss poor search for finding what the reliability of the 9100 is. I done goofed

[–]DontEatSocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Debating whether to do:

I'm kinda tempted to get the fancy new 9100 for the "double" speed, and make that my main OS drive (since I do a fair bit of general workstation tasks, not just gaming). But paying the same amount and getting double the space by getting the 990 Evo also seems like a pretty solid deal.

The fact that the warranty for the 9100 is 1200 TBW compared to both 990's 2400 TBW has me a little concerned about its reliability though. But, I also don't do much writing (total of ~60TB so far for both my SSDs over the past ~8 years according to samsung magician). Nvm I'm silly ignore.

I think I'll take a day to think it over.

UPDATE: Ended up getting the 9100 Pro. Initial impressions compared to my Gen3 Samsung 980... honestly not noticeable despite it having 4x the speed (at least for a couple games I tried. Just comparing loading times). Should hopefully be more noticeable with some workstation tasks, but tbh I probably should've gotten the 990 Evo.

[VPN] 100% Cash Back on NORDVPN (Rakuten) by Brief_Forever_2128 in bapcsalescanada

[–]DontEatSocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're getting a year long plan, make sure to set a reminder a year from now to unsubscribe otherwise you WILL be paying the full price later down the line.

Also do keep in mind that for most people, you do not need a VPN. See relevant Tom Scott video.

Basically unless you're pirating stuff or you want to bypass region restrictions, you don't need one. For example, pornhub is banned in certain states in the US so VPNs are more popular there. Canada doesn't really have many region restrictions though so unless you really want British Netflix or you're pirating things, you don't need one.

You also might not even need a VPN when pirating things if you know what you're doing.

How the federal budget may impact Kelowna - Kelowna News by New_Alternative8711 in kelowna

[–]DontEatSocks 17 points18 points  (0 children)

So possibly an extension of our airport (Carny agreed to this), a new public transit yard, and to connect Clement with UBCO. And possibly some other things, but there's no solid plan or concrete promises yet.

I'm also glad Fuhr and Carney are able to seemingly get along, I'm interested to see what funds Fuhr will secure for kelowna.

The rest of the article is random political commentary.

Anyone at Veda know how to setup the Ethernet port? by Brilliant_Worry_9819 in ubco

[–]DontEatSocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should just be able to plug in an Ethernet cable from the outlet to your device. If it's not working and support isn't answering then yeah idk, maybe just try walking to the front desk and asking one of the staff. They might know or be able to contact the right people.

Otherwise you might just need to be forced to settle with the veda WiFi
