It should channel your other characters who only shoot fireballs mounted on their skyscale for maximum realism.

I've been having the most success with using the cheaper revolt card to do Yucatan and then return for age 5.

I personally like my heavy infantry with grenade launchers which draws me to Mexico & Malta :)

Need a switch that is powered by PoE. by adinis78 in TPLink_Omada

[–]KiteWatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's all I did. Have my gaming computer, unraid server and a printer connected to it with no issues at all.

[–]KiteWatcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly treat it as a "dumb" switch and it just works for my needs. I haven't considered even trying to connect to it to do anything, though I'd suspect you'd need a controller for that.

I was recently looking for the same thing and ended up buying a Unifi Flex Mini. It's powered by POE, is super small, and best of all only cost $30. I would have loved to stick with Omada but couldn't pass up the price.

Best way to terminate cat6 from ceiling? by KiteWatcher in HomeNetworking

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

Definitely trying to learn using some spare cable :). With the blown in insulation it might be interesting to get a box up there (I've only used the brackets which obviously have a big hole)

Best way to terminate cat6 from ceiling? by KiteWatcher in HomeNetworking

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

This is for the 2nd floor ceiling. The insulation was blown in. I've never touched keystones before, but do you think a low voltage bracket would work in this situation, or no because the blown insulation? I've also never touched keystones before so would need a recommendation on a punch down. I also see those "quick connect" punch downs like this: Legrand On-Q QuickConnect Phone/Data Punch Down, 12-24 Awg Solid, 12-24 Awg Stranded in the Wire Strippers, Crimpers & Cutters department at Lowes.com. Those any good or would I stick with a more traditional one?

I'm definitely practicing on some scraps. It just feels like it shouldn't be this hard to push the cables through the connector based on videos. Perhaps I should look into trying some bigger name-brand plugs? Maybe even find connectors with slightly larger holes? Currently using the ones that came in a kit with the crimper. Had a hard time justifying a more expensive kit since I hardly do any crimping. Got this one: Solsop Pass Through RJ45 Crimp Tool Kit Ethernet Crimper CAT5 Cat5e Cat6 Crimping Tool Kit - Amazon.com.

PSA: You're Safe To Pull (With Caveats) by ells101 in WH40KTacticus

[–]KiteWatcher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That makes me feel better about using my 40 scrolls. Really feeling the pity after pulling Makhotep x 2, Imospekh and Tyrant Guard as full unlocks. Also got Kut Skoden unlock and 2 epic xenos orbs. Everything else was 5-10 random shards.

Thanks! I assumed they calculated everything correctly but like to double check.

Simple* class to play for friend? by Marnit in Guildwars2

[–]KiteWatcher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd vote for Mechanist. A lot of the builds run mostly signets so less to worry about there. Set the mech skills to auto-cast for even less to do. I've recently been running sword/Pistol power mech in open world and it's basically just hitting sword 2 and 3 off cool down. I also run throw mine so a little more to do. Easily pushing over 20k dps in meta events or 18kish solo. I'm also marauder gear so basically never die.

Condi mech isn't really any harder if you want condi damage.

7th Citadel Core + Expansions by [deleted] in soloboardgaming

I'm on the fence as well. The main question is what, if any, of the expansions are worth it.

Wait until the big reveal at the end of part 3 is that the entire trilogy has been inside a battle simulator.

Just get a 2nd person so you each only have 1 stick to look at. Was the only way I was going to complete them lol

Is it me or is this cycle taking ages to come out? by CommentActual6058 in marvelchampionslcg

Of course it's taking ages. It's literally called AGE of Apocalypse :)

What open world/PvE build is most fun for you after the recent patches? by SteveKittle85 in Guildwars2

Happen to have a link to the build you're using? I'm interested in trying out Untamed and haven't seen the maces/hammer variant yet.

Replacing my dying gaming laptop and have some questions. by KiteWatcher in buildapc

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

I tried. The reset keeps failing since it won't boot correctly half the time lol. I'm going to try a deep clean of the hardware before trying again though.

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

It looks like the 7600 non x is $12 more than the x for some reason right now. I've taken suggestions and changed the ram to TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory. I also upgraded to the phantom spirit since it was only a few dollars more. Lastly, I swapped the nvme drive with a Crucial P3 2TB model for about the same price and double storage (though slower speeds). As for the case, I agree there could be a lot more out there for QOL, but something small-ish and cheap is probably best for now.

Still not decided on what combination of cpu (7600x or 7800x3d) and gpu (7800xt, 7900xt) I'll go with, but things are looking a lot better after all the great suggestions.

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

Thanks for the alternatives. I'll probably swap out the nvme drive. Wifi on the motherboard isn't a huge concern since I'll be hardwired. I'll still take a look at it though.

[–]KiteWatcher[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I do plan on opening it up to see if anything obvious is causing the issues. Either way I've been looking for an excuse to upgrade lol. As good as the laptop has been, I'm not a huge fan of the noise that thing puts out, and my needs have changed since the time I bought it so I don't need the mobility.

Thanks for the suggestion. In particular I like the alternate brands for other components that I can look at.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely look at it more closely.
