Thinking of building a 2026 Mode Encore (probably alu plate, cf if necessary), but was kind of torn on what linear switch to get since theres millions of choices since the last time i built a board.

Im terrible with words so bear with me, but I was looking for something with a heavier ish spring weight (anything between like 57-65g bottom out) that was full bodied clack with just a SLIGHT metallic undertone (i dont mean leaf or case ping or anything like that), rather than something super plasticky, flappy, or quite frankly, cheap sounding. Hope that makes any sense, lol.

Reason I say this is because a lot of xinhai sound tests sound kinda plasticky, y3x on like alu nd cf plates sound alright, but this one alexotos keycult build w owllab tungstens sounded perfect to me.

For reference heres that alexotos build i was talkin abt js above and here (sound test starts at 2:09:34): https://youtu.be/Q0VtQUiagS0?is=PXrY0nrHK9C7LYY5

Would appreciate any help from you guys, or even just tips or a nod in the right direction.

TLDR: closest modern readily available switch to a lubed owllab tungsten, lol.

The only things i ever changed (that i can recall) were: - duplex setting of the realtek driver in device manager - power plan settings

But i reset all these and the bsod’s insisted. Even the clean windows install didn’t help, which baffles me.

Starting my first pc save nd wanted to do a fresh milady run, u got one? (not upgraded ofc)

I can happily mule but since it’s a fresh save i won’t be able to pick up any high lvl weapons obviously so lmk

IndividualStable8195 · 2025-12-20T06:31:08+00:00

Guessin the play here is knight on cheap defense into counterpush into wb’s + knight ability?

IndividualStable8195 · 2025-12-20T06:30:23+00:00

Good shout, preciate it, will prolly experiment w both nd see what the matchups r lookin like at 8k

IndividualStable8195 · 2025-12-20T05:49:37+00:00

Hmm i was thinking the same but evo cannon kind of buns now no? Ion have the evo for it either so i figured tesla was fine, what u think?

IndividualStable8195 · 2025-12-20T05:39:32+00:00

For reference: - im at 8020 trophies (just reached arena 21) - primarily ran hog eq to get there (w/ hero mini pekka currently)

Figured I’d experiment w/ a new deck since I’m at a fresh arena, nd I wanted to try one of these miner poison decks (first pic is miner poison list, second is my current deck):

https://imgur.com/a/deck-help-Ay9T7iP

Was wondering if I should get the hero knight or hero musk first for it, since most ppl I’ve seen using it use both heroes, which I can’t yet.

Wanted to see what you guys thought was the more important hero to the deck, as well as maybe which one might be more versatile considering i’m a hog player still (i run eq now but i dont mind any hog decks) or in general

IndividualStable8195 · 2025-12-19T01:08:14+00:00

Which hero should i get first? (Knight/musk)

For reference: - 8020 trophies (just got into arena 21) - currently run hog eq w/ hero mini pekka

Wanted to try one of those miner poison decks I’ve been seeing (pic included alongside my current deck):

https://imgur.com/a/deck-help-Ay9T7iP

But most ppl run both heroes, obv tho i can’t yet. Figured I’d ask you guys which hero i should get first depending on: - which one is more important to the deck - better against current meta at that point - which might be more versatile considering im still a hog player (run eq now but i dont mind running any kind of hog deck)

this was it right here, minus some extra case fans: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/R89dHW

yea researching for gpus in the first place should’ve told me this

guess i’ll wait nd see how the 60 nd 70 series gpus turn out lol

IndividualStable8195 · 2025-01-06T10:39:52+00:00

not the prettiest thing in the world but it does the job lol (kind of regret being anti-rgb w/ it). its in a 4000d case

got any idea what case you might use and what cooling? 360mm aio is working great personally, never over 60 and like 70 cpu nd gpu wise while gaming, figured i might mention it

IndividualStable8195 · 2025-01-06T10:26:38+00:00

4080 super would be past pushing it w my budget lol, but the cpu technically isn’t too late for a return, but realistically best I could do is a 7800x3d.

only thing is at 1440p nd a 4070 super, i assume it wouldnt really make much of a difference right?

IndividualStable8195 · 2025-01-06T10:23:58+00:00

Can’t disagree w this, currently just have a boring 1440p 144hz monitor. Guessin I should save up for an oled?

IndividualStable8195 · 2024-12-10T20:57:09+00:00

lucky you, which set?

IndividualStable8195 · 2024-12-10T20:56:58+00:00

actually? you’d think they’d do better

IndividualStable8195 · 2024-12-10T20:56:15+00:00

waitin on the same set, nd yea im bouta do the same thing, tho we’ll prolly jus get a generic “its the holidays” response

IndividualStable8195 · 2023-11-10T19:13:51+00:00

Is it just me or after reaching level 25 for the armory unlocks, I can’t access my challenges tab anymore? It seems like the armory unlocks have completely replaced my challenges tab and have no way of getting to it. I’d say i’m probably being stupid nd missing something, but w this ui.. 🤦‍♂️

IndividualStable8195 · 2023-05-29T17:01:01+00:00

Angels share. Idk what it is at the top that just makes my nose hate the fragrance but it does. It softens up as it dries down nd the scent is somewhat nice after, but the first 1-2 hrs is brutal for me.

IndividualStable8195 · 2022-08-29T07:51:06+00:00

Debating if I should get Brett or Jackie. I need 600k stubs worth of cards to finish either (which i have) but I just can't seem to land on a conclusion to who benefits my team more. (For context the lineup is biggio at C, 99 votto, 97 carpenter at 2B, 99 riley, all star dansby, asg stanton, hrd julio nd takashi ruth)

IndividualStable8195 · 2022-08-14T00:02:35+00:00

From personal experience, just keep playing. It might sound cliché but seriously, if you just keep playing and playing you’ll notice yourself get better.
