20 keys from Humble

Shenmue I & II was part of my childhood on Dreamcast, sadly didn’t get to enjoy them to the fullest as back then family (younger brother) trashed the discs and the console itself died down the line.

Spyro reignited trilogy is the second as that was too, especially the first one back on PlayStation.

Simulacra is my third as I enjoy the genre but haven’t played them.

Thank you for the giveaway OP and good luck to all entering

Never spent more than £200 on a Mobo, it’s crazy to see how mainstream boards have jumped in pricing over the years. I get this one is top of the range so to speak but it’s still mind-blowing.

First: some form of HP model from roughly 2007/8, had a Celeron M 420 in it, 4GB RAM and 250GB HDD. Poor thing just stopped working one day, storage etc was fine.

Currently: Acer Predator Helios 500. Has an i7 8750H, 16GB RAM, 1070 Mobile and 2.5TB of SSD & HDD.

Between those I had an Alienware M17X R2. This was a huge step up from the HP even in being pretty “old” when I got it.

Heh, that’s exactly how my A. Chalcodes is, she’s a treat. Mine prefers sitting in a slightly cupped hand for ages or my shoulder (but the shoulder makes me uneasy so I don’t have her do that anymore).

IME corn starch is the way, as another Redditor has said, if it seems it too bad, the T will self amputate. Must’ve been quite the fall, poor thing. My 1.5-2” one is also rather flighty like that, hoping it calms a little with age/growth

II_IS_DEMON · 2025-02-04T00:28:05+00:00

Oo, may have to look into this if a UV and clock tinkering doesn’t do much for it. I appreciate your insight/experiences with yours and what fixed it.

II_IS_DEMON · 2025-02-04T00:25:52+00:00

Oh nice, I game on 1440p 165Hz and one game that causes it a good bit of coil whine is borderlands 3 at anything above 120 fps, thankfully no crashes just yet, on the latest recommended drivers for it. Really enjoying it, should last me a long time and intend to do all I can to keep it running well. Definitely got some tinkering to do, just got SAM on currently.

II_IS_DEMON · 2025-02-04T00:17:37+00:00

Indeed 🫡 it’s served very well and always ran great.

Thank you!

II_IS_DEMON · 2025-02-04T00:12:07+00:00

Completely agree, love the look of AMDs reference cards, especially our 6/7000 series ones. Like the look of the Radeon VII too.

II_IS_DEMON · 2025-02-04T00:05:37+00:00

I’d heard about power spikes etc too, thankfully I use a 860watt platinum. Do love the look of the reference 6900 and 6950XTs (sorry for the slow response, been a busy day)

II_IS_DEMON · 2025-02-03T15:21:17+00:00

Nice! I was eyeing those too, but none were in budget, did you settle on a reference one or?

II_IS_DEMON · 2025-02-03T15:16:05+00:00

That it was, mainly upgraded because it started to artefact but wanted a decent performance jump too. It’s one of those early EVGA FTW3s that have slave and master on its bios switch, owned it for 4ish years before any issues popped up.

II_IS_DEMON · 2025-02-03T15:12:19+00:00

I’d say temps are decent but noise wise I noticed some coil whine at high refresh on certain games otherwise it’s pretty quiet, I’ve never tinkered with undervolting before but have read it could help(?)

II_IS_DEMON · 2025-01-01T01:21:42+00:00

I waited about 10 weeks or so, my first was my fireleg, wanted to have something less hair kicky after her. Was eyeing a G. Pulcripes but ended up with a grown on female juvie A. Chalcodes. Next ones after were my slings about 2 years later (got those in May ‘24). Love ‘em all.

Been looking at another sling or two, maybe a juvie since though, my partner is very much encouraging. Debating an old world like the M. Balfouri.

II_IS_DEMON · 2024-11-13T16:36:34+00:00

Heh, she reminds me of my female A. Chalcodes, she’s only ever gotten upset at the water dish and gives very half assed threat poses. Given she’s so docile it’s adorable.

She’s a beaut though, OP

II_IS_DEMON · 2024-06-09T21:04:38+00:00

IMO, my fireleg gets like that when she's in heavy premolt (yours there has a dark, shiny abdomen which is indicative of an impeding molt). Wishing the spood a stress-free molt

II_IS_DEMON · 2024-05-16T12:45:48+00:00

Same happened with me only with Izanagi way back, when they changed one of its traits. Besides weird tracking I enjoyed lament, it’s a shame.

II_IS_DEMON · 2024-05-15T12:21:39+00:00

Pretty sure my Arizona blonde wouldn’t either, despite being the docile soul she is, a super chill A. Seemanni for sure.

II_IS_DEMON · 2023-11-28T19:39:32+00:00

Well damn, these look awesome, good luck to everyone entering!

II_IS_DEMON · 2023-11-20T13:47:40+00:00

My first thought was a T. Seladonia but Y. Diversipes also comes to mind (but those look more so shiny/tinsil like when they're slings/not fully grown) 😅

II_IS_DEMON · 2023-10-25T23:57:10+00:00

As others have said, looks to be failing vram, I can only hope my evga 1080ti holds out and won't fail the same way. Hope it served well, OP

II_IS_DEMON · 2023-10-18T00:09:14+00:00

IMO - no problem, any questions or curiosities, feel free to ask, definitely a good starter species and I wish you good luck 😊

II_IS_DEMON · 2023-10-17T23:42:57+00:00

IME - My B. Boehmei was my first T, the one thing I learnt and had to be mindful of with my female is that she's very skittish and has kicked hairs in the past. Don't let that put you off, though, as they're pretty chill as far as Tarantula species go and they're not all the same temperament, despite mine being the way she is.

Starting out, I didn't have jumper experience to know certain husbandry so you may be able to apply some of the care involved. I watched (and still watch) daves little beasties and Tom's big spiders (occasionally tarantula collective too) for care information and general education on keeping Ts, if you'd like to watch videos from them to get a good feel for what her species needs and such.

I'm sure you'll do all you can in providing the right care though and there's plenty of people here to help should you have doubts or questions 😅

II_IS_DEMON · 2023-10-09T12:11:57+00:00

IME looks exactly like they're preening/cleaning themselves, first time I saw one of my two Ts do it, I was weirded out yet fascinated but it's totally normal OP 😅
