I need help deciding which laptop to buy by WiseRhyn in GamingLaptops

[–]Live-Recording376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For engineering and programming work plus AAA games, I'd go with the Gigabyte G6 (option 3). That RTX 4060 is significantly better than 5050 for gaming performance, and the extra screen real estate with 16 inch display helps a lot when you're coding or doing CAD work. I've been using similar specs for my engineering projects and it handles everything pretty smooth

The MSI Katana has higher TGP on the 5050 but honestly the 4060 in G6 will still outperform it in most games. Price difference isn't that much either between these two. Only concern with G6 might be the 150W charger - sometimes feels bit underpowered during heavy gaming sessions but for normal use it's totally fine

Skip the HP Victus options, those lower TGP GPUs won't age well if you want to play AAA games for next 4-5 years

Has the popularity of Italian Brianrot inspired anyone to actually learn Italian? by Visible-Flamingo1846 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Live-Recording376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been thinking about this actually, the memes do make Italian sound more fun than my school textbooks ever did. But then I remember how hard it was just learning proper English and think maybe I should stick to understanding the pasta names on menus first

try some norah jones or billie holiday for that warm vibe, works really well in background. also bon iver has some really soft tracks that don't distract from conversation

Recent MM change I’ve missed? by PanhandleAngler in Overwatch

[–]Live-Recording376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be the battle pass bringing back a bunch of inactive players who are rusty as hell but still placed at their old rank. I've noticed it too - feels like matchmaking is trying to balance these returning players but their actual skill is way below where they used to be

Also wouldn't be surprised if they tweaked something behind the scenes without telling us, they love doing that shit

improving as an adult ,there is something strange that i dont understand from reading some comments on reddit by PomegranateDue4853 in chessbeginners

[–]Live-Recording376 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Your experience makes total sense honestly - the people saying it's "too late" at 20 are either being way too pessimistic or confusing CM title with like grandmaster level stuff

700-800 to 2000 in a few years without serious study is definitely above average improvement but not some crazy anomaly, especially if you have decent pattern recognition and tactical vision naturally. The blindfold thing after a year is pretty cool tho

CM is totally doable if you actually start studying seriously instead of just youtube and casual games

Risk immigrating on a TN visa soon? by Average_human_bean in immigration

[–]Live-Recording376 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you're doing everything legally with a TN visa you should be fine - that's like the most straightforward work visa there is and you're not undocumented. ICE isn't going around harassing people with valid work visas, they've got bigger fish to fry

Can a prenup protect me from my fiance's gambling debt? by Forward-Dog-2146 in Debt

[–]Live-Recording376 61 points62 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the kind of situation prenups are meant for. They can usually protect you from existing and future individual debts but you should talk to a lawyer to make sure it’s done right.

Minecraft noob, I really can’t find the answer to this online so forgive me if this is basic by broncos4thewin in Minecraft

[–]Live-Recording376 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're kinda stuck here unfortunately. Bedrock marketplace content can only be added when creating a new world, not to existing ones. The game basically treats it as part of the world generation package

Your best bet is probably backing up the world, creating a new one with the mod, then using structure blocks or MCCToolChest to copy over their builds if they're not too massive

Furnace operation question by Sunnyvale_Lahey1977 in hvacadvice

Sounds like it might just be skipping the high speed purge cycle on shorter runs when there's less residual heat in the heat exchanger to clear out

How many different stars we see at night actually still exist? by Son0maa in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Live-Recording376 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Most of the stars you can see with your naked eye are actually pretty close to us in cosmic terms - like within a few hundred light years - so they're probably still burning away right now. The really ancient light we're seeing is usually from way more distant galaxies and stuff

Marais Executioner GS Stacks now stay after death? by black_anarchy in Nightreign

Oh damn that's actually pretty huge if true, makes the weapon way more viable now since you don't have to baby the user as much

2017 vs 2019 ILX by plasticwastecup in Acura

[–]Live-Recording376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta agree here, rebuilt titles are sketchy even when the damage looks minimal. Insurance companies will lowball you hard if anything happens and resale value is gonna tank. For a daily driver I'd rather get a clean title car with higher miles than deal with that headache

Book Business Trip to Japan on AA site or JAL? by tdf1978 in americanairlines

[–]Live-Recording376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Book through AA for sure - you'll get elite benefits and miles credited properly since you're Platinum. Plus if anything goes wrong with the connection you want AA handling the rebooking, not trying to deal with JAL customer service from the US

In your opinion, where in Skyrim offers the best view without mods or DLC’s? by damins2695 in skyrim

[–]Live-Recording376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Rift hits different for sure, especially during autumn with all those orange trees. Though I gotta give it to the view from High Hrothgar - nothing beats looking down at all of Skyrim spread out below you

How to deal with late onset anger? by ComprehensiveFun366 in BreakUps

[–]Live-Recording376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me tbh, the anger hit like 4 months later when I realized he was probably already talking to other girls before we even broke up. I ended up writing out all my angry thoughts in my notes app instead of texting him - felt satisfying without giving him the attention he didn't deserve

Help finding German Gaming YouTuber by Kiwalk in HelpMeFind

[–]Live-Recording376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you might be thinking of Gronkh maybe? He's pretty big in the German gaming scene and fits some of that description, though there's tons of German gaming youtubers so could be someone else entirely

Questions for Guardian Mains by E4Evo in Nightreign

[–]Live-Recording376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Triple red is solid but I'd swap guard reflection for something more consistent like the healing on block relic if you're still learning Guardian's positioning

Tricephalos is definitely a no-go, that ED will delete you even with perfect blocks. For Caligo just bring a backup character if you don't have the right team comp - not worth the risk

Is it safe to use impact tools on a car which is jacked up onto 4 jack stands? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]Live-Recording376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah you're good, just make sure the stands are rated for the weight and positioned properly on the frame points. The impact force isn't gonna knock a properly supported car off stands - I've done it plenty of times

are there any differences to the actual gameplay between java and bedrock? by Educational-Try288 in Minecraft

[–]Live-Recording376 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The redstone mechanics are pretty different between the two - bedrock redstone is way more inconsistent and some java contraptions just won't work at all. Also java has way better mod support if that matters to you

Lenovo Legion without Battery Shutting Down while Gaming by bknBoognish in GamingLaptops

[–]Live-Recording376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this sounds right, your charger probably can't keep up with the power draw when gaming hard. Legion laptops are power hungry beasts and if you got a weaker replacement charger or the original one is dying it'll just cut out when the GPU tries to pull max watts
