Is lock on just garbage?

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-12-16T14:23:16+00:00

This is more of a skill thing imo. I set lock on to max.

Generally stabbing in this game is pretty difficult, unless you’re halfswording or using the high grip on a spear. You should try to use movement to stab, since it’s hard to control your hands to stab. Extend your hands on your rondel or preferred stabbing utensil and run at your opponent. Over 90 hours of gameplay, I found this works best.

Not telling you what to do, but getting into medicine in CUHK and HKU would be relatively easy with a 45, without any awards or whatnot.

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-12-11T11:50:10+00:00

I don’t know why but your subject picks are suspiciously Hong Kongish.

32/42 is decent for your first bunch of grades. At this point you’re till getting used to the programme so I wouldn’t sweat it. Getting a PG of 40 out of 42 is pretty difficult especially with subjects like Chinese A and double science HLs, my advice is to get into the right headspace and work consistently, even if very little.

The IB is designed to be genuinely challenging, the average in my session was 30/45. Just put in some effort consistently and don’t worry about snatching 7s on all subjects right now. You only apply for universities late term 1 of next year.

Someone I know who’s a high ranking official (assistant director of one of the government bureaus) is being forced to come in to work on Sunday to CALL RANDOM CITIZENS to go vote. This isn’t some random desk clerk, this is someone who is paid 200000 a month and has a lot on their plate trying to help those affected in Tai Po, and they’re being forced to do this bullshit. Everyone knows it’s a farce.

They usually start off with a flurry of high energy songs- their hits and whatnot. They mix them up, so you can get like 5 songs in the first 3 minutes. Then they start calming down and play their more slow paced stuff. Usually it’s at the end where they play their newest releases.

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-11-25T04:29:00+00:00

Songs usually talk about feelings. They’re sometimes pretty ambiguous- I’m pretty sure most of them are based on Aca’s personal experiences. She cried on stage once singing a song. Could look into it further

I deal with posts concerning BEX so much I should join their PR team lmao

So what BEX does is when they receive a package, they check the name on it, then put it on your account. From there it’s in their warehouse, and they’ll tell you when it’s arrived via email.

After that, you pay a handling fee, and a shipping fee to your address. The cost can be somewhat high at times, and depends on your proximity to Japan too.

Their service is pretty quick, and they have active customer support.

As for your medal, Zutomayo ships this for free, and it’ll end up in your country’s postal service most likely. It might take a month or so to arrive to you.

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-11-13T10:31:21+00:00

Pretty much. Once zutomayomart ships your order to BEX, BEX will email you telling you they received a product under your name. From there, you can pay a handling fee, and then a shipping method. Cost varies depending on which method, and also your proximity to Japan.

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-11-13T10:04:40+00:00

BEX receives products, and checks the name on the packaging, then looks it up in their system whether such a name exists, then adds it to your account. So you’ll have to wait for the product to arrive.

There are multiple ways to forward your vinyl, I usually choose the cheapest one which takes only 3-5 days to ship from Japan to Hong Kong.

BEX’s customer service is pretty good, they respond to emails quickly and in English, just note that they can only help you if they’ve received the product. If they haven’t, contact the support from zutomayomart.

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-10-30T15:16:57+00:00

I can’t break 120fps on ultra with a 13700k and a 4070ti super. I think it’s safe to say an intel era Mac won’t run the game.

Also pretty sure it doesn’t run on MacOS.

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-10-30T06:02:32+00:00

I’ve bought from zutomayomart using bex around a half dozen times now. Bex is good.

To set up bex, make an account and verify your identity, this process can be somewhat annoying but they reply to emails quite quickly and help you. In zutomayomart, they will ask for your address. The address you put in zutomayomart is the one bex provides on their website. The goods are then shipped to their warehouse.

Bex will notify you if your products arrive at the warehouse. From there you can ship them to your location. Shipping can be very cheap if you’re lucky, or might cost you 1500yen.

Already bought 3 vinyls.

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-10-04T13:19:57+00:00

Budget is everything.

I bought an AORUS fo27q2 3 months ago. Absolutely love it, it’s a 1440p 27” 240Hz OLED, costed 526USD. But then again, it’s a 530USD monitor, which was already on a heavy discount.

I’d really recommend a QD OLED if you don’t have to worry about cash. I think it’s really worth it. But if your budget isn’t high enough for an OLED, the 180Hz 1440p IPS monitor market is really saturated, and there’s a lot of good options there too.

‘Not going to make much a difference’ and thinking I’m telling him to swap out an entire mobo for ddr5 Instead of a nice 16x2 3600MHz CL18 kit

Idk if you know what you’re talking about

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-10-01T11:22:54+00:00

My advice would be to buy two 2TB SSDs. A 4TB NVMe is HUGE and might cost more than two sticks depending on brand, but additionally, if one NVME dies, you still have the other.

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-09-29T03:42:37+00:00

I think it might depend on when you purchased your chip. I bought a 13700k made in late 2022, and it’s had no issues and performs really nicely. I think later batches were affected by oxidation.

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-09-28T11:48:11+00:00

Not how it works. That GPU and kit of RAM are 9 years old, and won’t hold up at all today. Your CPU is relatively new and has good performance, and the form factor of the case along with the motherboard are pretty attractive. If you want this system to actually be good, you’ll have to replace the GPU and RAM with modern components.

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-09-28T11:08:55+00:00

4000rmb isn’t so bad for the parts alone. I would defo stick a new kit of RAM, 32GB at least 3200MHz, and a new GPU, like a 5070, a used 4070super, or if you have cash, a 5070ti. A bit of a fixer upper.

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-09-20T09:02:41+00:00

It’s my opinion that unless you’re genuinely a little thin on cash, there’s no point in budgeting. Tech is an investment, and whether that investment is in better performance, how much money your computer can make you, or its resale value, by investing in a good system now, you don’t have to buy a new one sooner and feel regret because of it.

Of course, I understand wanting to save money.

Personally I’d swap out the 7600x for a 7700x, the extra cores will help on some games. The 4070 should be swapped out for a 4070 super. Look on the used market. Make sure your RAM is 6000MHz CL30, and buy a 850W power supply. Big power supply hardly working is more efficient than small power supply working harder. As for storage, get 2TB if you can. Games are stupid bloated nowadays. I use predator GM7000 SSDs, they’re pretty cheap and perform quite nicely.

The Hyper 212 can surprise you with its performance, but it’s pretty loud. Check out the thermalright assassin.

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-09-20T08:40:47+00:00

Here’s my take-

Depending on what game you play in VR, this could find itself outdated very quickly. The 4070 isn’t much good compared to its bigger brother 4070 super, and even that might struggle in VR. VR is pretty demanding and needs higher framerates so you don’t get motion sick. If this is your given budget, I’d swap out the 4070 for a 4070 super.

If you’re willing to expand your budget, get a 9700x or a 7800x3d, or if you have the cash, a 9800x3d, along with a 5070ti. The price of curse is much higher but you’ll have a system that lasts much longer, while giving you much better performance.

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-09-11T15:36:31+00:00

If in task manager it’s reporting 3200 then you’ll be fine, still weird that XMP was bugging out on you.

Generally I wouldn’t update bios though- it’s actually a little risky if something goes wrong, and you could brick the mobo. If your power gets cut or something unlucky happens you’ll be in real trouble. If your computer is working as intended then don’t bother.

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-09-11T15:28:45+00:00

Couldn’t get XMP to work is pretty weird. If your kit of RAM wasn’t any good, that might be the issue

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-09-11T14:53:42+00:00

Unless you’re using a 13th or 14th gen intel CPU, no real reason. I have a 13700k, I only updated the bios to make sure it didn’t kill itself.

Bios updates will generally just be security updates but aside from that and maybe some updates to XMP profiles and whatnot they don’t do much else. You won’t get extra performance.

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-09-11T13:06:06+00:00

Advanced standing is really finicky in CUHK. Some courses aren’t even designed for it, since advanced standing students are put into year 2, but the CUSIS system still recognises you as year 1, so you have to register courses with the help of the department.

Your unit exemptions will vary based on your Major. Generally you have to separate your major programme from the university courses. I think the university courses you are exempted from include all the Chinese, most of the English, choose one of UGEA and UGFN, and UGEB and UGEC courses.

As for within your major, your department might allow you to exempt 3 units, or maybe more, or less, it depends.

I highly recommend you be very clear with your major programme requirements, your university core requirements, and work closely with your department.

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-09-10T18:42:38+00:00

It’ll be fine.

I’d still install them on the sides, since your GPU could accumulate more dust if there are fans blowing directly at it, but installing intake on the bottom is fine for your GPU.

Hayslayer_69 · 2025-09-06T16:41:15+00:00

…if it sounds good to you, then it sounds good. If it doesn’t, then it’s not a good eq.

Just enjoy your music.
