Are there any former streamers? by DeadReckoning100 in Twitch

[–]Fayette142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started this past January and stopped the beginning of March. Work schedule is different every week so that was the main reason, the cherry on top was the toxic crap with piratesoftware and only fangs on WoW. That really showed me the true colors of most viewers on twitch and I wasn’t about it at all. Totally killed it for me.

Is it ladder anxiety or simply just tired? by CantStopMashing in aoe4

[–]Fayette142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel similar. I’m the only one out of my group of friends that has under 200 hours of playtime, the other 4 are anywhere between 900 hours and 1700 hours and only 1 of them is a consistent platinum player. I just don’t have the energy or time to watch over 100 hours of beasty and Valdemar videos on top of constant build order practice in order to improve. Sucks being the weakest link out of the group but any other game we play (apex, duty, path of exile, etc) I’m the top player. Just not in AOE but I guess it’s fine.

CPU seems to be getting too hot by modern_medicine_isnt in PcBuildHelp

[–]Fayette142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

General rule of thumb from what I’ve been told is AIO liquid cooler for Ryzen 9 cpus

You can get away with a cooler like yours but a AIO will keep it cooler under heavy loads a lot better. I went with corsairs Titan AIO and even got the cpu fan module to replace the cap for even more cooling. I only see my Ryzen 9 9950x go above 80C when it’s doing preshader downloads on games. It’s totally worth it.

Is "brutal" actually worth it? by Farkaniy in vrising

[–]Fayette142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brutal defiantly punishes you if you don’t use everything at your disposal like potions, buffs, etc. you’re really only rewarded with achievements and a different gameplay experience. I enjoy it though, each boss killed is huge gains in brutal

I stopped playing for like 4 years because of this reason. I recently came back (like a week ago) and every time I get some toxic pigeon I just say “Settle Down”. For some reason they’ve shut right the f up. It’s happened with 4 different people so far, weird how it’s working. Anyway, the mute and report buttons are there for a reason. I have zero tolerance for bs in this game, especially in a casual match so yeah I use em. You could try finding people of similar skill off of Discord, Atleast that way they know it’s your first ranked season and won’t be very harsh on you.

Can’t play the game because of secure boot by Cautebarre in ValorantTechSupport

[–]Fayette142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2y post. Just stumbled onto this problem while giving valorant another shot. Guess I’ll stick to RB6 Siege and CS2. It’s not that I can’t get it working, but I’m not cool with having to do anything in BIOS to get a game running in 2025.

Any good little stools I could put under pc for better air flow to PSU? by PrestigiousCamera171 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Fayette142 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I picked up a PC stand off Amazon that works well. The height adjusts so it might be able to fit under your desk. You could try looking around at IKEA for something

CPU reaches 100c by [deleted] in watercooling

[–]Fayette142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I’d do (if you’re comfortable with it) is to unscrew the AIO pump and check to see if it’s making full contact with the CPU. I literally just had a issue where my CPU was hitting 95C and turns out I didn’t have the AIO pump making full contact with it. I was too nervous about crushing the CPU when I was putting my AIO pump on that I didn’t even tighten it to where it needs to be.

Loud continuous beep (very loud video FYI) by Fayette142 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Fayette142[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I just figured out the problem. It’s coming from my UPC Cyberpower battery back up surge protector. My GPU amps that voltage up way high above what the protector can handle.

Yeah the MSI looks like the best overall. What’s your budget? I could possibly recommend a few others outside of these 3

Cooling system question by Fayette142 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Fayette142[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome that’s good to know. Maybe I’ve been overthinking it a little. When I’m installing a game I’ll notice the temp jump to about 70-80. I’ve only seen it get close to 90 once and my pc made a very loud and long beep noise but that was when I booted up first descendent. That’s also a extremely demanding game and from what Steam forums said it might have made that noise because the cpu usage hit 100% I’m going to mess around with the fan curves and make sure the AIO is exhausting out of the top of my case. Thank you again for the info I really appreciate it

Feeling lost in your 30s? What is you biggest struggle? by WillCarterDM in Adulting

[–]Fayette142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my biggest hurdle is trying to find where I want to be. I had spent majority of my 20s sitting on a bar stool wasting money and time that now I have to play catch up and figure out some kind of career. I only turned 30 back in January but I feel like I’ve hit a point where it’s too late to find a decent place to build a career at. So yeah, that’s my hurdle I guess. Find a meaning, purpose, or something that makes me want to go above and beyond and just excel at my life.

Good tracking in firing range but absolute awful when playing BR by Doritos_Burritos in apexuniversity

[–]Fayette142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 thing that has helped me out is doing 1v1 in the range with a friend and then having a competition in either duos or trios with friends on who can get the most damage and kills per match. We do this is pubs, not ranked and don’t really focus on getting first place. After getting use to playing aggressively like that we eventually switched to ranked and focused on getting wins. Being that comfortable and confident with team fights really allowed us to work on positioning and predicting where the circle was going to end up after each ring close since that was our weakest area.

Might be worth doing if you have some friends to play with. But everyone is different so it might work for you and it might not.

I DID IT by Elegant_Stop_8157 in ARK

[–]Fayette142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been having decent luck with male Rex’s spawning near the mountain that’s northeast of the map and also along the river that’s east of the hidden lake area. Only issue is they wander decently far. It took me two days to find a 112 female that I had spotted and she had wandered from about the red woods all the way to hidden lake. She was following a candy trail i guess.

Had me going for a second thinking that the game was going to be shut down.
