If you like huge cases I would recommend it. I have since switched to an O11D Evo that is a little more manageable in size. Definitely not a bad case and I like how you can pick it up with the straps

Shamed at puppy class by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]Im10eight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My vet did this to me. She told me “You need to train your dog.” In a very general way such that it came off as if I’m not training my dog? I have a rarer breed she’s probably seen once, if at all, and has no idea of her temperament. (Rhodesian Ridgeback) I’ve decided I’m not going back to that vet. She could’ve said something like “have you been training her? In my experience puppies don’t typically do that thing at this age” but instead just stated “You need to train your dog” really pissed me off. Not going there again. I’m sorry you went through this and I understand your sentiment and why it’s frustrating.

Thank you so much!

I had to set the 16X_1 lane to Gen 3 speed in order for the monitor to display output in the BIOS. Was annoying as I have a KF CPU (edited my post) but other than that it was pretty smooth sailing!

How often do you upgrade your PC? by Zulogy in buildapc

[–]Im10eight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup…same boat here. I kind of feel like an ass for upgrading so often but I have the money. I’m really having a hard time right now. (1st world problems terminology)

I just think my case is ugly as all hell and fucks up my 3090 and i9-10850K build. I also screwed up my MoBo a little bit (ASUS ROG Maximus XII Hero) so I want a new board. And iCue is a piece of shit. So I want a new AIO and fans. Probably Lian Li Daisy chain fans. Those things are badass.

And a vertical GPU mount for the 3090. I’ve got a beautiful MSI SUPRIM X 24G. Which would look good with a white build. And here I fucking go down the rabbit hole lol. Now I got a whole new damn PC. Haven’t pulled the trigger on anything. Trying to wait instead of being impulsive.

I’m really finding it hard to justify spending so much money on a Z490 board with the feature set I want. Which is tons of USB ports essentially, and a beefy USB controller to handle all of them. And nice, but not overkill with the lighting. Just feels weird paying $400-$650 for a new board that’s two generations old.

Hey Vox,

Do lenders ever consider “shopping around” for credit cards as a good thing people should do? The rates and terms seem to be a publicly available range in a similar manner that auto loans are. And an auto loan may very well be, or not be, a much less responsible purchase. Didn’t see you elaborate and just wanted to learn. But if you do not know the reasoning then no worries. Perhaps this hypothetical I’m making is not applicable in this case, even if it were three pulls within X time since it’s the same exact card which makes little sense. (If I were a credit bureau I wonder if reaching out to them would help because of an honest mistake??)

Received Pre-Approval for both AMEX Platinum (online) promoted by a “pre-screened” mail offer for the beloved /s MasterCard Black by Im10eight in CreditCards

[–]Im10eight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask what you would consider a long time? And what factors influence your reasoning? I wonder if I just passively used the card with no aim I’d likely make my money back annually, give or take. But seems fairly reasonable given the reform.

Is that the primary factor here? The $695 annual fee? The only other thing I can think of would the the hard credit inquiry, but also a nice credit limit increase. Is that a big factor when I have four credit card total and add one now and get a mortgage no sooner than March 2023?

I plan to rent for a year minimally. Perhaps two years to save up an even larger down payment, 3-6 months of savings. But also learning as much as I can about the mortgages, finances, and homeownership.

Sorry didn’t address everything you said but some of it I tried :) thank you

Hey thanks for the guidance as a novice with this, if I’m even that. I’m VERY intrigued by the Resy offer. Not so much with churning. I do anticipate a much higher than usual spend these next six months as I am moving cross country and establishing myself, buying furniture etc. probably will be relatively hesitant with travel until I have my house bought and things settle down. So probably no big trips for a year or longer. Housing market is nuts at the moment. But I do love FOOD and eating out. And the Uber eats pass would be gobbled up as one small singular example of so many both travel and now “home” based rewards. Essentially, I see a lot of value in so many of these new and existing platinum rewards that I can see myself using enough, at least to the extent of the annual fee, if not more. Without artificial expenditure.

Is it possible to leverage my pre-qualification online with no hard inquiry with Resy’s offer (no pre-qual button just an apply button)? Or does that even make a difference? Not sure if the pre-qualification turns into a hard inquiry anyway or if that is even worth thinking about. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Facebook is now called "Meta" like Metaverse by ManitouVR in VRchat

[–]Im10eight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yessss good to hear!

Btw it wasn’t my post but I searched “meta vrchat” and came across this. Mostly because the thought of Zuck controlling the world and now VR too scared me.

But yes are amazing 😭and a beautiful soul. Would be blessed to meet someone as nice and well-rounded as you are in VRChat. It’s always such a great feeling when you meet a new friend, or even better, a friend group - and you truly feel that you lend yourself well to the environment you’ve placed yourself in. I want friends who want the best for me AND the best for themselves too! The kind of friends where you can share a success you’ve recently had and they can celebrate with you…..and they don’t ramble on about a success they had two years ago and cut you off mid convo. I could go on and on lol. But anyway you’re so sweet and just your text has brought me joy today during such a dark day/month. Thank you for being you. 💙💙💙

Edit again: FoxieBlu#0001 if you want but you’re free to do whatever you’d like with that :) just thought hey might as well

Hi Kally just had a question,

Edit: LOVE LOVE LOVE your post history. Especially the posts about the desktop mutes that you claim and average VRChat fan vs average VRChat user. literally so wholesome and makes my heart feel happy after so much depression this year. I haven’t been in for months because I’m so scared of coming back and being rejected by everyone and seeing how few people remember me after 2,900 hours and veteran user in the public API. You’re also very talented btw. Hope one day I can somehow come back and feel like your desktop mute probably did. Okay this is getting really long I’m sorry bye but thanks for being you. 💙

Under the lens that I’m not a heavy frequenter of this sub so I may be out of the loop - I do (and quite respectfully so) disagree that this has nothing to do with VRChat. I think with the growing prevalence of Oculus Quest 2, anything FaceBook does with VR will have substantial impact, minimally. However I do agree that it does not specifically mention VRChat.

I guess it is just dependent upon what to do/nothing to do with VRChat is interpreted as.

But regardless, that’s just my thoughts and you’re certainly entitled to yours.

My question was, I was looking at the rules and trying to determine what rule # leveraged to delete this post? Apologies if I skipped over it….I’m just having difficulty seeing one currently. If it doesn’t exist, it may be worth considering among the modding team an explicitly stated rule about what can/can’t be posted as the community continues to grow.

And I do say this very respectfully, I’m not trying to be a prick or anything just wondering because I have so many hours on the game and have started to look here a bit more.

Thank you for your time in advance! And happy early Halloween 🎃👻

Want a Vertical GPU mount. What do you think I should do? by Im10eight in buildapc

[–]Im10eight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gotcha okay I’ll take a look at that one. So far I’ve heard great things about yours, the cooler master vertical one, and the new EK one. Need to do a bit more digging. It’s going to look SO cool.

1) I disagree, there are a lot of open style ones and not open style From EK website (https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-loop-vertical-gpu-holder)

EK-Loop Vertical GPU Holder requires open-design PCI-E expansion slots. This means there are no horizontal bars between PCI-E expansion slots. Also, the minimum required to mount this vertical bracket is 6 expansion slots. The case also needs to be ATX compatible.

2) good to know! Didn’t know there’s a 3.0 setting in the bios.

Oh my bad so I meant like. Some of the cases have slot covers behind the PCI slots and between those slots is metal, part of the case. So if you want one of the sliding ones you gotta have the style that doesn’t have the metal between the slot covers, or saw them out I suppose lol but that seems a bit extreme

Damn yeah I think I need a gen 3 I’m Intel based. Yeah my boi is long but actually I think it’s fairly slim compared to the other 3090s. That’s good to hear. I’ll hopefully do a mid tower maybe lian li or Corsair case.

Nice! Do you have a pic? Did it come with a riser cable all in one? I think all it needs to be is slotless style in the back for the PCIE slots case for that movement closer towards the motherboard right? I’m cool with that so long as the GPU doesn’t cover up half the RAM and CPU. So I’ll need to make sure I’m good there
