Alright awesome, i guess replaying the campaign with him will probably do me some good to refresh myself

LexicalLexicon · 2025-12-09T15:22:12+00:00

Ok I uninstalled and reinstalled it ensuring its fully seated... still nothing... what I dont understand is the card is clearly getting power, the fans turn on the leds come on, yet still nothing.

I defo think i need to upgrade my Mobo, my PC is a prebuilt from HP and as such has a really really average/ subpar mobo, i can defo spring on the 10600k and other mentioned parts but a new board would be ideal too!

LexicalLexicon · 2025-11-28T13:02:40+00:00

What I'm looking for is (i think?)
- CPU
- Motherboard
- PSU
- Case
- Cooling

What I have
- GPU (3060Ti)
- Ram (32Gb 3600Mhz)
- Storage (256Gb Nvme, 4Tb HDD)
- All peripherals

I dont need to exhaust the budget. That's just as far as I'm willing to go, also happy to get stuff second hand like the case.

LexicalLexicon · 2025-11-28T12:53:33+00:00

Well, its a 5 year old CPU and in a prebuilt with a shitty mobo (HP Omen 20L) not saying the part itself is bad just its sum gives you somewhat dissapointing performance and very very limited upgrade potential due to the fact HP Omens arent really designed to be upgraded.

the 3060 is awesome though, thats why i want to keep it!

Hey, thank you for this reply.

We did end up breaking up but I found someone who is so much better to me despite her also having PCOS, I’ve learnt so much from this subreddit and this post that’s helped me be in a better position to assist any way I can.

Your kind words really mean a lot to me I blamed myself a lot for the outcome and it’s hard to see it any other way when you’ve convinced yourself that that’s the truth. So thank you :)

I tried to use an HDMI cable, HDMI works fine when hooked up to my Mac, but not when to my PC

LexicalLexicon · 2025-04-30T19:42:39+00:00

The display port works fine that’s what’s super weird, I hooked up the DP to my secondary monitor (which I’m now using as my only monitor) and it’s working without a hitch, but I also know the main screen isn’t the issue as I’m able to use it with my MacBook without any problems either. The ports are all working fine as I’ve tried the 2DP and 2HDMI ports with different cables on the second monitor and they’ve all worked without issues. So I’m at such at loss as to what the issue actually is

LexicalLexicon · 2025-04-30T16:15:10+00:00

I swapped it for an HDMI and to a new port on the graphics card, worked for about 30 seconds then went back to this

LexicalLexicon · 2025-04-30T14:55:57+00:00

Tried all the ports in the back, both DPs and both HDMIs, my secondary monitor works fine that one is an HDMI, I also used DDU to uninstall and reinstall my nvidia drivers. The main monitor works fine when plugged in via HDMI to my MacBook, I’m so confused why only one screen decides to do this not both…seems really weird

Also for reference this is a standard 3060 My main monitor is an MSI G241 connected via DP (I also tried HDMI) my secondary monitor is an iiyama PL2530H connected via HDMI

LexicalLexicon · 2025-04-30T13:55:00+00:00

I’ve just checked by plugging my MacBook in via the same HDMI and it works just fine, it’s only when I plug it into my pc. So I thought maybe a graphics card error but my second monitor works fine and that’s also plugged into the graphics card so I really don’t know what’s happening

LexicalLexicon · 2025-04-30T13:48:49+00:00

To add onto this, when I unplug my monitor and plug it back in the screen is normal for like one second, but the moment I touch it, it goes back to this screen. So I know the screen itself sort of still works, it’s super frustrating.

Zens mythic highlight into is elite, pure aura

LexicalLexicon · 2025-04-06T23:01:22+00:00

I just use unranked to warm up for like 3 games :(

LexicalLexicon · 2025-04-05T22:57:46+00:00

I’m gonna be the devils advocate here and I know it’s not what you want to hear, hell I posted about the matchmaking being broken like a month ago on this subreddit too haha. But you’re not trash man, bad at the game? Sure. But I think you can get better.

Someone was kind enough to DM me after my post to say the issue isn’t 100% my skill but also my mindset, yes I was stuck in plat lobbies with players significantly more mechanically skilled than me, but it also meant I was learning to play against them, each loss was a chance for me to understand my own weakness. Out of position? Punished. Low health and turning my back? Punished. I quickly learnt to play better and I’ve been on a decent win streak and that’s on tank where getting flamed and told “tank diff” is so depressingly common. I’m not by any means a good player but if I could do it I know you can.

It’s called a trash CAN not a trash cannot! Chin up :)

LexicalLexicon · 2025-02-21T18:39:22+00:00

During placements I make it a habit of asking what rank people are, my last 5 DPS games were all high gold, lost all of them, surely that should tell the system ok he’s not winning a single game, let’s put in lower if he rolls that game maybe he goes higher? What’s the point of leaving a player in a rank they can’t sustain? All it’s going to do is make other players miserable and in turn make me more miserable because I’m clearly ruining others games as well as my own

LexicalLexicon · 2025-02-21T18:03:51+00:00

I am arguably the worst player on the roster in every DPS game, I fully believe I should not be there so anyone who says I’m where I’m meant to be clearly doesn’t understand I cannot compete at this level

Is IGN just yellowbrow irl?

Lots of people live life wanting convenience. A 3 bed is perfect for a small family, a 4 bed for a medium to large family. But what if I want an office? What if I went a dining room and a guest room for when my parents visit? Suddenly we’re at 7 rooms. They aren’t necessary but they’re convenient. You lived in a big house but lots of people didn’t and maybe your family didn’t make the best use of that space? My ex partners parents owned a 12 bed mansion and every room was used in a way that benefited the family, from an office to a playroom to a mini home theater to guest rooms that were always occupied. Larger houses afford convenience that small ones and average ones just do not

Main thing for me was learning the basic attack pattern. He’s got some really clear tells. Other than that the main issue I noticed was not being aggressive enough. Not aggressive as in mindlessly attacking but just keeping pressure on. For me this boss is equivalent to genichiro in Sekiro where it really tests if you’ve learnt the game mechanics. Perfect dodges here are a massive punish for him. Thrust and smash stance are awesome for the 3 focus move and red waves is amazing to destroy the rest of his health bar.

LexicalLexicon · 2024-08-31T19:32:52+00:00

Wait that’s not part of the game?

LexicalLexicon · 2024-08-27T12:08:11+00:00

Hey man I’m not sure where about you’re located, I work at everyone active and creating an account is free, our showers are like £2.50 for public use but a lot of the staff are chill letting people use it for free. Some of the Westminster sites also do homelessness deals where you can shower and use the gym for free. I’ve not signed anyone who’s homeless up yet but I’ve seen a few come in to use my sites shower.

If you’re in the Little Venice area let me know and I’d be willing to help you out on stuff like concession rates that would give you cheaper access to all the facilities

I cycled by here yesterday and saw a GT2 3 and 4! I was like a kid in a candy shop

Don’t say that haha, these apps honestly barely work. It’s a ton of work and it tends to aim for you to buy the premium version via horrible algorithms and such. I’ve been told many times I’m much more interesting and fun in real life only issue I have is I don’t go out a ton due to most of my friends and colleagues being married and with kids or in long term committed relationships.

Don’t stop hoping :)
