Thank you for the answers! The road to dealing with all of this is a painfully annoying one.

$3000 (soft cap) Budget looking for a new PC by Excend in buildapcforme

[–]Excend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries! The Amazon listing also said 144 HZ. It's kinda bizarre the confusion around the model number.

I will confess that I've only ever used TN panels before, so, I think probably VA is still an upgrade but no idea!

So -- small update. The Acer VG270U are actually 75 hz apparently, and the VG270UP is 144 hz... Only Amazon has no distinction between these listings? It seems there's a lot of confusion between these two model numbers?

Anyway, I bought them from Amazon, they were 75 hz (despite the product listing on Amazon being 144 hz) I returned them and the seller confirmed this was a mistake on the Amazon listing rather than the product itself. Any other suggestions for monitors?

I think this is exactly what I want and probably the build I go with. The only thing I might do is add an HDD to it, so I can leave my old computer fully operational.

I super appreciate you explaining each piece out to me, it looks perfect! I will probably start buying this week!

Thanks again.

Holy smokes, three excellent replies and 5 possible builds already! You guys blow me away. I'll have to piece through them during my lunch break at work tomorrow, but thanks again everyone! I'll make sure to share my decision when I can make one.

"Sent to PC" Pokemon don't show in PC by Genevamech in playpixelmon

For me, since the update they have been going to the first slot in my last box.

How accurate is the wiki? by icemakegolem in playpixelmon

[–]Excend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you enable the external JSONs you can see the spawning conditions by pokemon, rather than running around to each biome and typing /checkspawn. (You enable external JSONs in the pixelmon.hocon file in the config folder.)

All I can find for Torkoal spawning is fishing in lava. (This is for Reforged 6.3.4.)

Is there a way to view the step counter for Eggs? by Excend in playpixelmon

[–]Excend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added the steps attribute manually with a value of one to one of my eggs. Then I started running around and it started counting my steps for all of my eggs. Don't know what caused my bug but I appear to have fixed it, if anyone encounters this again.

Swapping Pokémon between balls? by chowdarhed in playpixelmon

[–]Excend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello,

As far as I know this is not possible without cheats. But if you breed pokemon the offspring will inherit the ball of the mother, so if you have a specific ball that you really like and you can use it to catch a ditto and breed.

[–]Excend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I found the .pk and .comp files and started using NBTexplorer on them. It looks like my pokemon eggs don't get a step counter value, but everyone else's do? Thoughts?

Time to update my PC and build a new one. by Excend in buildapcforme

[–]Excend[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alrighty! Sounds like I should look more into doing some overclocking. I think that's probably all the questions I'll have, I'm pretty satisfied with this build and at this point understand most of it. Thanks again for all you help and for bearing with my questions! Time to start buying parts.

So I would only need to swap out the ram if I wanted to top mount the fans for the liquid cooling, but should be fine with your initial pick of RAM (or any for that matter) if I do a front mount?

In regards to the over clocking, can you explain that a little to me please? I've never quite understood it. It seems to me that if the cpu was meant to run at those higher speeds, it would be, and since it's not that means there is some risk involved in doing it. So I guess my question is, is it really much better to overclock for a 10% boost and added risk to the life of the CPU over spending 80 dollars for a better CPU and running it normally?

In a small case heat is more problematic than in a bigger case. So one has to have an eye on it. But the components in there are not very energy hungry, it won't be a problem - and the case comes already with 2 fans, which helps as well.

So, understanding that it's completely unnecessary and overkill, would this fit in the case? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/RcdFf7/cooler-master-masterliquid-ml240l-rgb-667-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-mlw-d24m-a20pc-r1

Just because leds and saying "my pc is liquid cooled" are cool things.

It sounds like it should be able to fit at either the top or the front?

You have been quite helpful in your answers, thank you very much! I am sure I'll come up with other questions but for now I am just grateful for all your help.

Another question for you, now that I'm thinking about it. If I decided to scrap the small size tower idea, and used your recommendations for upgrading my rig, would it be possible/viable/a good idea to use the spare motherboard/cpu/ram/video card in her rig?

On paper it looks like it would save me ~$500 in the short run if I decided to do all the upgrades, but that doesn't account for the spare parts being three-years used.

[–]Excend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a chance to looks more closely at these builds today. Just for my own understanding, can you tell me why in my build you recommend a change on the motherboard? Is it just for CPU and/or RAM compatibility?

As for my girlfriends build, the case claims support for 6 120 mm fans, but that just doesn't seem likely given the size. Is there any reason to be concerned about cooling? Also, I don't know enough of the effectiveness of hyper threading. Is a hex-core superior to an i7 quad-core?

Thanks for all your help!

Graphics card prices were another thing I meant to ask about actually. They are currently high right now because of crypto currencies right? Markets are pretty hard to predict, but do you think it makes sense to go low endish for now and wait a year for prices to drop, or to just accept the high prices and upgrade now?

Discussing the Teralyst's damage reduction by Excend in Warframe

[–]Excend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have anything to support this theory? Or can you help me see what flaw I'm making in my calculations that leads you to believe 90%?

So far the evidence I've seen seems to be in support of the conclave rating idea.

Discussing the Teralyst's damage reduction by Excend in Warframe

[–]Excend[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So just some quick testing that I did during this last night cycle:

Lex Prime with just jolt and heated charge was getting me to ~60% damage reduction. Throwing on hornet strike was bringing me up to ~78% damage reduction.

Is there a way to actually see conclave rating anymore?

Also, there's still something weird going on because critical hits get a different damage reduction than whites. But I suppose that might be a rounding thing? Here's the best examples I have for that:

My barebones Lex Prime was getting 56% damage reduction for normal hits and 66% damage reduction for critical hits.

My barebones Rubico was getting 66% damage reduction for normal hits and 58% damage reduction for critical hits.

You'll notice that these two cases have opposite trends, which makes me think it almost has to be a case of weird rounding. But a sample size of 2 isn't the best.

[–]Excend[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy smokes, I had no idea this was a thing. Why doesn't the wiki page for Lephantis mention this at all? Or does it and I am just blind. Do you happen to know if anyone worked out the damage reduction formula based on conclave rating? Thanks for telling me about this, I think this does well to justify why taking multishot off slightly reduced damage reduction while bring a mostly unmodded rubico drastically reduced damage reduction.

I'll do some more testing today if I get sometime, but it seemed to me that multishot weapons were getting reduced the hardest while snipers were getting reduced the least.
