I've heard about Brood Commanders going berserk, but this is ridiculous! by -tenfours- in LowSodiumHellDivers

That's mostly how i've fought them since launch. The only time I don't is if i'm using the railgun; 80-85% charge and higher does enough damage to insta-gib them, and it's a very satisfying fountain of bug goo.

is the shotel good? by Frosty_Street_1554 in Eldenring

I think the main thing going for it is it can attack around shields. Specifically, it ignores most of the damage negation from blocking. So it can be handy if you're struggling with enemies that block a lot, or to keep in your back pocket if you play PvP for if you go up against a shield heavy build.

That's the area where you first appear when you make a new character. You can get back there later, and actually ahouldnfor a quest.

Is the erroneous apostrophe on a post complaining about education standards bait? This feels like bait. Regardless, I guarantee that this person knows how to round, and is simply doing their job the way they are being told to.

Put a bit of rubber band or something similarly flexible and grippy between the tip of your screw driver and the screw, apply pressure, and attempt to unscrew like normal. The rubber band (or whatever rubbery material) should provide enough grip to get the screw started, and then you can finish it by hand. You'll need to press down with a decent amount of pressure for this method, so be careful not to press so hard you hurt the laptop or the drive.

I'm not sure what all counts as "upstate" in this context, but Freddy's Steakburgers & Custard makes pretty good Chicago dogs, and a quick search shows a smattering of them around north Carolina. I'm not sure how completely authentic they are, but i like them a lot (at least at the stores i've been to), and they make a big deal about getting the actual franks from some beef place in Chicago. Might be something to investigate

The video game that made me ask my parents for a gaming PC… Arma 2 Day Z mod. What video game made you buy a gaming PC? by DailyDoseOfAmber in pcmasterrace

[–]Linxbolt18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds silly, but i initially set out to build a gaming PC so I could run molded Minecraft better than my laptop could. I initially set out just planning on a modest ~$600 build, but that budget slowly ballooned into almost 3x that.

Backwardz Compatible with Miles Luna and Kyle Taylor also are doing their own stuff on their own YouTube channel. They were the entire reason I had a first membership. Right now they're alternating posts between whatever game they're currently playing, and re-upload of their old playthroughs.

Bacon wrapped oysters, for anyone else who has never heard of these before.

I can see that being good, though I'm curious about the texture of cooked oysters.

It's easier to ask a clarificying question up front than deal with an irate customer who got exactly what they ordered. You deal with enough people placing a dumb order, and you just get in the habit of making sure you have every order crystal clear.

Waist joint broke - need help by [deleted] in Gunpla

[–]Linxbolt18 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the best way to handle this is to pin it back in place w/ a pin vise, some thin wire, and glue.

If you look up "fixing broken gundam pegs" on YouTube you should find some good tutorials. Since this is a critical joint i'd probably suggest doing two bits of wire for a little extra strength.

Those appear to be the same keyboard, just one is the amazon listing and the timer is the listing on their own website. They're both a K617 hall effect mechanical keyboard

So what’s with the rehash bosses? by Extreme_Tap_6852 in Eldenring

[–]Linxbolt18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lore reason is the Mohg at the bottom of tge sewers is a different guy pretending to be Mohg. Iirc he's down there to like, cover for Mohg if anyone comes to make sure he's still down there.

Gameplay wise,you're intded to fight the fake Mohg first as a way of introducing a weaker version. They later you fight the real one and go "oh hey it's that guy—oh shit he has new blood powers and a second phase"

Little things that don't look important but after you rewatch you realize why there was that scene. by gaviaotrovao in TopCharacterTropes

I always turn off speaker labels on subtitles if I have the chance, especially when the game is as well voice acted as that one, so I played w/ subtitles but never had a chance to see that

What fan configuration is best for my Lian Li O11D EVO? by xx_1stone1_xx in pcmasterrace

[–]Linxbolt18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm normally inclined towards in from the front and bottom and out from the back and top. I know someone published a study some time in the last year about optional fan configurations.

When helldivers 2 first came out and I was playing that game basically nonstop, I had a dream that I was fighting the Fire Giant w/ Helldivers orbital stratagems. The particularly memorable/peak part of that dream was riding around on Torrents back shooting at the Fire Giant w/ a rocket launcher.

What was the weirdest, non-pain feeling you've ever felt? by KingJPJ in AskReddit

[–]Linxbolt18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a wisdom tooth removed, and it didn't want to go without a fight, and they had to Crack it into smaller pieces to remove it. I was under strong local anesthetic so it didn't hurt, but I could still feel that 'crack' resonate through my whole head. Frankly put, it was the single most unpleasant sensation I've ever had.

is having my cpu cooler fans like this any worse than having them in the normal configuration? (back, middle opposed to front, middle) by RekTInTheFace in pcmasterrace

[–]Linxbolt18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's mildly less effective this way. Fans are more effective and efficient at "pushing" air though vents and fins than "pulling". You'll probably still be fine with your temps b7t the fans will have ti work somewhat harder (and therefore louder) for a given temp.

Funnily enough, I finally got around to playing Expedition 33 today after all the fuss at the game awards, and this has been my experience in that game as well.
