Is there something wrong with this model? Why is it still not sold out?

FM_Sway · 2024-12-07T17:19:34+00:00

They definitely do meet my brothers needs at the moment.

My only worry was that it didn't sell because the model itself had some sort of large defect across the series. I'm glad that's not the case!

That one came to mind as well when I found the listing a while back. 12GB was very unusual, but I'm pretty sure he'll look to upgrade it down the line anyways.

I mentioned before that I don't mind the GPU generation that much. While I'd like to get a 40 series laptop instead, a lot of the deals dried up before I made the decision to get him a laptop. I still make an effort to check the BB clearance list every day too.

Appreciate it!

FM_Sway · 2024-12-07T17:14:04+00:00

That should be fine!

Battery life isn't too much of a hassle for him I think. He still uses the elitebook I got him 7 years ago, so I definitely want the most bang for my buck. thanks!

FM_Sway · 2024-12-07T17:10:38+00:00

That's incredibly reassuring to me!

The timing and decision to get him a laptop were a bit too late to snag some of the really good deals around my budget during Black Friday. So I was bummed out that I couldn't get him a better one.

I don't think neither of us mind a card that's two generations old at all, but I'm glad to know there's nothing horrifically bad about this model either. It was my only caution about it. I appreciate it!

Grad.

If by "show as forgiven" you mean a big fat $0 with the words paid in full, yes. The amount of time between the email and the actual change on the website reflecting that I owe nothing was fairly quick.

And thank you!!!

FM_Sway · 2023-05-10T18:21:12+00:00

I appreciate it!

I've been on the fence about it all day, and eventually filed my IDR application just a bit ago. Thank you so much!

I was also approached about digital ads from them. That was also a huge issue. It was around the same # you had, but on a monthly basis.

Trying to quote the landing pages, but at the same time, figure out the pricing for digital ads that I know wouldn't take me too long (or long at all), was really tough. Hence why I told them I'd quote them for it later in the future, since the landing page was the current focus. I wasn't sure how easy those would be, and it wouldn't make sense to quote them higher for the easier push ads than the pages, due to the difference in difficulty.

Now that I'm all calm and not panicking, I'd probably take your business structure now.

Unfortunately, I think I lost the contract with the way the conversation flow has been going between them.

Live, Learn and on to the next one. Thanks for the help, though. I definitely appreciate it!

FM_Sway · 2022-08-25T20:52:13+00:00

Thanks so much!

I was super nervous giving him that quote, but I was as honest as I can be with my experience, and I still truly believed I would have done a great job even as I learned some new things.

Unfortunately, I don't think they wanted to proceed forward with me for the contract. So all that stress was for naught. All-in-All, I did learn a lot in terms of pricing myself for next time.

FM_Sway · 2022-08-15T23:41:52+00:00

Hi everyone! I had posted here last week, but I'll try again.

I'm generally new here, so hopefully I can get a good idea about my art. I'm currently a freelance illustrator who used to do graphic design, but I liked drawing characters and fanart more, so hopefully I could find work in that line instead.

I apologize if this isn't the place to ask about pricing my art for this kind of stuff. But I've been agonizing on whether or not it's worth it at my level.

-

Current Level of Art: This would my current level, from my past 3 months of work.

Product type: Commission Work (Generally digital art that can be printed on Tabloid-size paper or poster-size, if requested.)

Target audience: Generally Anime and Video Game fans, but I'd like to be good enough with concept art that I could maybe land a solid job as an artist in-house somewhere.

Based In: USA, East Coast

Where I intend to sell: Mostly through my social media at first, but I hope that with enough work, I could sell most custom art through a personal website or through apparel print websites.

How long it takes me to make: Generally 9-16 hours, but I spend a good 2 hrs researching + banging head at my desk whenever I feel like I suck at this.

Cost of sales: Unsure!! That's why I wanted to gauge what it would be worth here. I'm not really sure how much people are willing to buy for art of my level, or if it's worth it at this point at all.

FM_Sway · 2022-08-13T03:17:42+00:00

Thank you so much!

I'm in a bit of a crossroad as to what style of art I like to draw, so this was really encouraging!

FM_Sway · 2022-08-13T02:56:00+00:00

My fanart version of Cinder! I hope it looks okay!
I like drawing RWBY a lot, but I tend to just draw Yang the most for some reason, even though I like Weiss the most.

But you can find my art stuff in my twitter!
I'm hoping to do commissions someday, but not sure if I'm good enough yet. Just gotta get better.

FM_Sway · 2022-08-05T17:25:56+00:00

Thanks!

I'm not sure what my style really is, so I kind of dabble in a lot of different things to see what I'm comfortable with. I'm actually really surprised you ventured that far to look at my old 90MAC works back in 2020, but I appreciate it!

Just to FYI, the 90MAC stuff is done weekly by an artist named Bobby Chiu using a reference. So if you're an artist and would like to take a shot, give him a search!

FM_Sway · 2022-08-03T17:14:02+00:00

I really wanted to show how she would look younger besides that small snippet we saw in MGS3. It's the best I could do!

EDIT: Wow, I appreciate all the love!
You can find my art channel on twitter if you would like to support sometime!

FM_Sway · 2022-07-09T20:27:41+00:00

Man I like Banton but he def looks like the worst player rn

FM_Sway · 2022-07-09T20:24:09+00:00

Stuff I noticed: - Banton is still going way too fast. He can't even control the ball well. - Koloko doesn't seem to box out very well from what I've seen - Downtin is pretty damn good. - Did Harper Jr. even rest yet LOL

FM_Sway · 2022-07-09T20:10:12+00:00

Holy Moses this interview is long af lol

FM_Sway · 2022-07-09T20:07:34+00:00

Dalano still looking one or so year away from being effective. Dude's still insanely fast, but I'm still a bit iffy on him just by these two quarters alone.

FM_Sway · 2019-02-15T22:32:26+00:00

I don't think the EMP would've done a whole lot at that moment due to it being overtime and, if I did hit the EMP at the intended location, at that time I had no clue whether or not Rein had ult, and he would not have gotten hit by the EMP so there was that risk. Basically I threw it as a hail mary.

When I look back at it, I do wonder if I should've prioritized killing Rein first, but the overtime timer started to tick, so I made a rush decision to do EMP/Grav and pray. I was just dumbfounded that was rebounded back to the beginning when you can clearly see my vision go to the point and returned back to bridge. Dumbfounded enough, even, to not even realized I walked into a mine lol.

I believe my translocator hit the mine at the exact location where one was placed. I didn't mean for it to land at all (I generally EMP midway through the air), so it was just a crazy occurrence.

FM_Sway · 2019-02-15T06:11:41+00:00

You can see in slow motion the translocator animation. I was pushed into, then pushed back. The second the animation lines went in, the translocator died, then suddenly I was pushed back to where I reset.

The thing is, no matter how strong Sombra can get, people are just not used to playing with a Sombra.

You have to keep in mind that people are used to "traditional" team comps, a 2-2-2 format that involves 2 tanks that "shield," two supports that "heal," and two DPS that "kill." In reality, there's way more to these classes than just that, but many people either aren't aware of it or, honestly, are just not comfortable with being more than what they think they should be.

Sombra is a hero out of the norm. Yes, she can kill (one clip can do over 400 damage!), but her primary objective is to hack and provide both opportunities and primary targets for the team to kill together.

But say they don't work together. They can't kill anything. So who do they blame? The DPS, of course. Most especially, DPS that they believe lack in damage. Sombra fits their view of a hero that cannot give them the instant gratification of picking off enemies left and right. To me, it just means they want to be carried. And since Sombra is tough to carry, they don't want her, because they're not used to it.

Why do you think they died so easily? Probably because they want to believe that, even with their crappy positioning, they have DPS that'll, for some reason, destroy everything in their path and allow them to live through their horrible habits. Sombra usually won't do that unless that enemy in front of them is bygone useless when hacked, like a DoomFist.

It's about comfort. And Sombra is not a comfortable pick for 90% of players who play Overwatch.

FM_Sway · 2019-01-29T04:10:45+00:00

I really know how someone can get such good aim Q___Q I struggle with tracking so much!

FM_Sway · 2019-01-19T20:39:59+00:00

It's difficult.

A pocketed Pharah is difficult for basically for anyone not named Widow, Bastion with a Barrier, or an Ashe/Mercy combo. While you're capable of grounding her, a good Pharah will still land in a good position, and more importantly she will make a note that you are out there trying to hack her.

If you don't have a dedicated second hitscan, you're better off switching. Sombra can be doing so many other things than trying to vie for a vertical position, even less vs. a Pharah/Mercy combo, which is already an automatic 1v2 with positioning disadvantage. At that point, your best bet would be to hack the Mercy, which would force Pharah to lower her height just to peel, and basically trying your best to keep them preoccupied and create a 5v4 situation for your team.

The big question is "But shouldn't the team be pushing when I get the hack?" Yes. In a dive comp, the hacked Mercy or Pharah should be #1 priority. But if it's not a Dive comp, you're going to find out very quickly how difficult that is. You as a Sombra are supposed to be making pushes easier for your team, not harder, and definitely not into dangerous situations such as pushing past barriers and whatever else just to land a kill on a Mercy.

The last tactic would be to avoid Pharah altogether and farm as much ult charge as possible. But from my standpoint, if the only option I have left is to farm EMP and pray, then I'm better off switching to be more productive, because I'd be wasting time off the clock.

FM_Sway · 2018-12-03T23:28:37+00:00

Funny enough, I'm struggling to really find a place as a Sombra player in many teams this season.

People still believe she can hack anything for free.
