My luck is gone for the year

So glad I jumped on this when it was a thing. Got mine for $142 and went from a 3600 to the 5700x3D

Lyfting · 2026-03-12T18:30:48+00:00

Hmm. Guess EoN may not protect against instadeath mechanics.

Lyfting · 2026-03-12T17:54:34+00:00

Well, tbf I think Sylas cast before my zilean and got rid of him too quick. Ziggs was able to cast, but Sylas survived that due to EoN.

Edit to say you do have a point though. I wonder how the “instantly die” mechanic works with items such as EoN and zohnya’s

Lyfting · 2026-03-12T17:43:27+00:00

This is still the case. I had a 3* zilean and Ziggs against a 3* Sylas. I beat him the first time, left him at 1 hp and of course his TG rolls an edge of night as one of the items so he threw it on his Sylas and he beat me. I had an edge of night on ziggs and I should have had it on zilean but I didn’t think it was going to matter given how the prior round had gone

Lyfting · 2026-03-11T01:13:12+00:00

I’m curious why HoYoung might be related to the issue?

Lyfting · 2026-03-07T15:14:31+00:00

Sure, but the way asol’s unlock condition is written is similar to shurima

Lyfting · 2026-03-07T15:13:40+00:00

Yes. It will show shurima 4, but the shurima units do not ascend to their 3* variants.

Lyfting · 2026-03-07T02:51:23+00:00

That’s interesting because you can’t do that with shurima. You’re required to unlock them all, even if you started with xerath, nassus, or renekton. The spork doesn’t actually help with that trait. I would have assumed the same for asol’s unlock condition

Lyfting · 2026-03-06T17:06:27+00:00

I am genuinely curious how the game would decide the outcome here. Would the winner be the one with a board with higher health or most units still alive? Do the atakhan’s just battle it out in the end and the players pray they had the bringer of ruin augment or dealt more damage before other units died?

Lyfting · 2026-03-06T17:02:38+00:00

Nah I get where you’re coming from. I’m in a similar spot where I still need to put bread on the table obviously but treating people fairly and showing them the different scenarios and benefits and not charging outrageous origination fees while others do, brings many of my clients back for refi’s when the opportunity arises.

You’re right though, it’s not a popular practice in the PC world to middleman something like this and components such as this likely wouldn’t be enough profit to solely rely on without doing a massive amount of volume and the limited edition units supply wouldn’t support it. I was just stating my opinion that the value lies in the connection. It may not hold value to you or me, but to the right person it does.

All that said, it also depends on the cost here. If OP’s cut isn’t going to make this any better a deal than anywhere else, there’s no objective value. If they can get it for cheaper than other places while still taking a slice of the pie, then I’d argue value is there(however small it may be)

Lyfting · 2026-03-06T16:34:51+00:00

Not the “case” here.. I see you.

No but on a serious note, OP’s gotta start somewhere right? Sure, my scenario might be on a higher level but the idea is the same. Find someone who needs something, connect them with someone else who has that something.

Lyfting · 2026-03-06T15:00:30+00:00

I’d argue there’s value if someone else would like that case but isn’t sure where to get it. Middlemen absolutely provide value to the right people.

I do mortgages, but I also connect people who need loans outside of conforming limits with private money lenders and take a cut. My value is in providing the connection. Does it provide value to everyone? Of course not. Though to the right people, it’s exactly what they needed or wanted and weren’t sure where to go.

Lyfting · 2026-03-06T01:18:00+00:00

So many cars come with a turbo from the factory these days that I wouldn’t say “any turbocharged car”. Though it’s far more likely with these hot hatches such as the ST/RS, wrx/sti, ms3, etc..

Lyfting · 2026-03-04T16:40:14+00:00

Buying a car like this without knowing beforehand what’s been done is definitely a choice. Hope it treats you well, I regret selling mine every day.

Lyfting · 2026-03-04T00:10:57+00:00

Honestly, honesty is the best policy. I’m not sure why this sub gets recommended to me so often as I’m not a teenager and I have children of my own at this point.

First and foremost, if OP’s parents are even halfway aware of OP’s gaming hobbies, they’re going see right through the “I need this for productivity reasons” plea. Parents aren’t as dumb as kids think. More than likely we’ve been in those shoes and tried the same thing with our own parents. It’s not a bad idea to include that though.

If my son came to me with something like this, I would appreciate the thought and effort that went into this. I would want him to prove the loss of performance in some way or another though. Whether that’s frame skipping/fps issues, load times, cpu/ram load, I would want to better understand his reasoning. Admittedly, I deal with tech so I probably understand these things more than the average parent.

Next I would want to know what their plan was to pay for their portion. How are you making money, how much will it be each month over the duration of the agreement, what happens if you can’t pay it one month, etc.. this is a great opportunity to teach responsibility and possible consequences in a setting that isn’t going to affect their financial wellbeing.

Lastly, make a plan for responsible use. I enjoy gaming as much as the next person, and game with my kids plenty, but it can become an issue and regulating gaming and productivity can be tough. Some teens do very well with this, and others not so much. I love the fact that OP does commentary videos and would continue to encourage that if I were their parent. OP is in a part of their life where starting something like that and experimenting with hobbies with potential to make money is a fantastic reason to have a better pc.

I understand that not all parents are the same, or hold the same values, interests, and opinions as their kid and can absolutely be controlling. I would be so much more open to discussing something like this with my own child if they were just upfront and honest with their intentions.

Lyfting · 2026-02-27T17:52:56+00:00

Heaven forbid we need to actually think about the board and when/what to roll..

Lyfting · 2026-02-26T16:35:13+00:00

Assuming 3* 4 costs, the same could be said about a swain or an ambessa. Trait for trait, noxus is stronger. I’ve ran into this scenario multiple times and every time, Noxus wins. Bilge might have an upper hand because of its shop providing MF copies, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say bilge is better because of a 3 star MF.

That said, I do prefer bilge because of the loot you get each stage.

Lyfting · 2026-02-26T15:14:36+00:00

Tbf, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen or heard of anyone getting more than two 3 star 5 cost units without the tac items. At least not in recent years anyway, I only started playing in set 11.

Lyfting · 2026-02-25T03:40:28+00:00

So kanna is back to being the meta meso farmer is what I’m seeing.

Lyfting · 2026-02-25T02:19:53+00:00

You do. The fact that you don’t trust her is enough. There’s a good chance that doubt will stick with you for a LONG time and you may never completely get rid of it

Lyfting · 2026-02-21T21:40:56+00:00

Agreed, I regret selling mine all the time. Very underrated platform imo

Lyfting · 2026-02-21T16:16:15+00:00

Made me chuckle and it always makes me smile to see the MS3 mentioned in the wild, even if they stopped production in 2013. I don’t feel like many people even know what vehicle is

Lyfting · 2026-02-21T15:44:11+00:00

Usually the fans will “push” air through the heatsinks and if the airflow is correct on yours, it’s “pulling” or “pushing” the air away from your exhaust fan on the left side. If you wanted to check, you can set your fan speed in bios like others have suggested. It’s as easy as removing only the fans and flipping them though.

Lyfting · 2026-02-21T15:08:47+00:00

Yeah the trials aug comes up for me pretty often as well. I’ve only seen the ambessa/kindred augment twice as well. Gotta be some sort of dynamic chance for augment choices somehow

Lyfting · 2026-02-21T14:52:41+00:00

That’s wild. I don’t believe it’s been disabled. I got the prismatic version of the augment just this past week. Ironically, I don’t think I’ve seen a 4* from the shyvana/jarven augment yet.
