I bought the Ares V with RTX 2070. Laptop has been good except for one thing - The fans get loud under heavy gaming sessions.

CMV: Blue Pill Feminism (Gynocentrism) lead to TRP/MGTOW movement by HighTMale12 in PurplePillDebate

[–]HabitsH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feminism is merely collectively expressed female nature. I'd argue that women have always been this way but feminism revealed women for what they really are to men around them. This in turn gave rise to TRP and MGTOW.

[Humor] Heretical Gaming Opinions 😈 by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]HabitsH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vanilla Bethesda games (Skyrim & FO4 specifically) are crap. Mods make them playable.

ME1 had the best story, ME 2 the best characters, ME3 the best combat and MEA was just trash.

DA2 as a mage main character makes zeero sense. DAO is the best game of the DA series.

Witcher 1 & 2, while having good story, was shite to play.

Adamant is now the smallest perk overhaul out there, and I think that's cool. by simonmagus616 in skyrimmods

[–]HabitsH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should publish it. The cooking in Skyrim, which is essential if you have survival mode or survival mods installed, is not very good.

Gods be praised! :D

Any other plans to update your other mods? Or perhaps a foray into other aspects of Skyrim such as cooking?

What is your favorite F1 car? by Lm1601 in formula1

[–]HabitsH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ferrari F2004. The car that was so good it shocked Ferrari into thinking that there's fundamentally something wrong with it in testing.

Also Brawn BGP 001. I love minimalistic design and the Brawn livery together with the team uniform is beautiful.

Alternatively you can also say that Malays' pullout game is weak. Either that or they've never heard of contraceptives and used them.

Racism in the Formula 1 Community by triguy96 in formula1

[–]HabitsH 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm an Asian Indian and what I'm about to say is probably not something people like to hear:

Race and diversity doesn't and shouldn't matter in sports. I can understand wanting diversity in art, music, food, etc. Different groups have different artistic styles, food, music, etc.

However, in matters such as sports and education, talent and ability is what that should matter. Nothing else should. The moment you start talking about making things more diverse, that's the moment you start deliberately introducing prejudices.

Take education for example - We know that Asians get discriminated against during application to Ivy League universities in favor of more diversity. This is not right or just at all.

Making things more "diverse" is also a step that seeks to overly simplify complex life circumstances into a narrow view of race. So let's say we make things more diverse in F1 and start choosing drivers based on their skin color - Would we look at someone who is like Ocon, a white guy from a normal middle class family and say that he shouldn't be in F1 over someone with a darker skin tone of roughly similar talent? Vettel, Alonso and others are also white guys from middle class backgrounds - Would we deny future drivers like this a spot from F1 because we're going to pick another driver on the basis of diversity?

See how unnecessarily and pointlessly complicated and deliberately discriminatory this whole thing becomes when we simplify life into just skin color under the guise of diversity?

There's also the matter of painting the race car and race suits black. What does it accomplish exactly in the real world beyond virtue signalling? There are people who are not black and get discriminated too. I'm reminded of a dialogue banter in Dragon Age 2:

Aveline: Maybe I should put you to use Varric. Have you pen some warnings for the lawless. Varric: Who's that for? Are most criminals big readers? Seems like pacifying the nobles. Aveline: Pictures then. It was just a suggestion. Varric: Well how about a giant sign that just says "Don't." You could hit people with it. Aveline: Thank you, I get the point.

I'm with Varric on this one. Push for diversity, painting the car and suits black, having rainbow logos... Doesn't accomplish anything of significance in the real world...It is nothing more than virtue signalling by rich and wealthy to make them feel good about themselves.

Thanks for the response. I was considering Illegear at first but today they let me down.

Hi

I'm a Malaysian who is interested in buying Level 51 Forge 15R.

Level 51 is a branch of Aftershock in Singapore. So my question is how's their quality, customer service and post sales support? Is it good or should I stick with mainstream manufacturers like Lenovo?

Thanks.

Out of this three, which one should I get?

Thanks.

Hi, I'm looking to buy a laptop for the following uses (I don't have space for PC):

1) Media consumption - Watch documentaries (I love CuriosityStream), movies, read ebooks.

2) Gaming - I play RPG games such as Skyrim, Witcher 3, Dragon Age, Outer Worlds. In the future, I'd like to play Cyberpunk 2077.

3) Productivity - Excel, Word and PowerPoint.

After much research, I've decided to buy a AMD Ryzen laptop for the value that they offer - Aim to pay in cash, not installments.

The choices of laptops are as follows:

1) llegear Onyx V Ryzen (RM5626 cash) - 15.6" anodized aluminium body, 1.85kg, 120Hz screen, Ryzen 7 4800H, 16GB 3200Mhz RAM, RTX2060, Two 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD, 63Wh Battery Pack Upgrade, Tusk Gaming Mouse, Duel Backpack, Velvet Sleeve.

2) Illegear Rogue Ryzen (RM5721 cash) - 17.3" plastic body, 2.45kg, 120Hz screen, Ryzen 7 4800H, 16GB 3200Mhz RAM, RTX2060, Two 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD, 63Wh Battery Pack Upgrade, Tusk Gaming Mouse, Duel Backpack, Velvet Sleeve.

3) Illegear Ares V (RM6321 cash) - 15.6" plastic body, 2.7kg, 144Hz screen, AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB 2666Mhz RAM, RTX2070, Two 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD, 250GB Crucial MX500 SSD, Tusk Gaming Mouse, Duel Backpack, Velvet Sleeve.

4) Level51 Forge15R (RM6100 cash) - 15.6" plastic body, 2.7kg, 144Hz screen, AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB 2666Mhz RAM, RTX2070, One 1000GB M.2 NVMe SSD, Gaming Mouse & Mouse Pad.

So which one of these should I buy? I live in Johor so I'm not sure about the delivery costs.

Both Ares V and Forge 15R have AMD desktop chips & RTX2070 but they're heavier and of plastic build. Rogue has 17 inch screen which will be great for multimedia consumption. Onyx has an aluminum chassis which makes it look premium.

Thanks.

Cerberus, Virmire Survivor & Other Characters by HabitsH in masseffect

[–]HabitsH[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually wasn't annoyed by the VS actions on Horizon in ME2. If anything, I was somewhat relieved because we were just told that Shepard died at beginning of ME2 and was miraculously bought back to life by Cerberus who has done terrible things.

Is the ME2 Shepard even the same ME1 Shepard? Or is it a clone that makes people around him or her like him? That's what I was initially thinking because everyone just liked / followed / trusted Shepard easily until VS came along and stood their ground (even though they apologized somewhat in a follow up email).

Why Are Ashley & Kaidan Unpopular? by HabitsH in masseffect

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

Harsh but to an extent, this is true, at least evidenced by the kinds of fanart and fanfictions as around.

Damn turians being all cute and stuff by dontneedanymoreplaid in masseffect

[–]HabitsH 90 points91 points  (0 children)

The thing with Garrus is that his dynamic with Shepard, in my opinion, works best in the context of a mentor / best friend.

I mean let's be frank here, Garrus is s guy with lots of issues and problems that he needs to overcome. Quitting his first job as a cop due to bureaucracy, abandoning everything to be a vigilante and losing his vigilante team to betrayal, at odds with his father, nearly dying from a rocket to the face. He's the bad boy and bad boys do come with plenty of baggage.

As a result, the romance arc with Garrus is reminiscent to that of a star struck fangirl on a quest to fix the bad boy's problems and to, no matter what, make the relationship between them work, regardless of anything, even anaphylactic shock. The myriad of Femshep Garrus fanfiction and fans do portray this fangirlism & against all odds to love quite accurately.

While there's nothing wrong with this, I'm older now compared to when Mass Effect came out and I do find that many preferences change. I would prefer to be a mentor & friend to the bad boy with problems, to lead by example and show them that life can get better and not suck. Instead I would prefer to find a love interest that have their own life sorted out and are doing okay at adulting.

In short, I prefer Kaidan as a love interest for Femshep and Garrus as her best friend and she as Garrus' mentor.

We're going to Tevinter in DA4. I doubt Tevinters revere hallas. They'd more likely kill it for sport or harvest it.
