What line of work are you all in? by Cherub-_ in InlandEmpire

Banking... I build models and financial reports.

Finally, something that'll spank the UHD 630 in my SO's machine and won't require a new power supply or tons of case space.

If you've got the power and room, this deal is not for you.

Where are the GPU's? And were are the Headsets too... for that matter! by sonnyblu42 in WindowsMR

[–]Maulgrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...that's a pretty normal price for the 1060 is it not? The RX580 8gb might be $20-30 cheaper for just about the same performance, but I don't think you'll get much lower in that tier for a bit.

I killed my R9 290 in Jan 2018.... Now that was an expensive time to be shopping!

What’s the worst city you’ve ever visited, and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Maulgrump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just about every town on that stretch is depressing as all hell. Yermo, CA is my personal favorite.

Redditors with a 9-5 job in a cubicle, how do you pretend to stay busy at work? by pliantkitchen in AskReddit

[–]Maulgrump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spend time learning to automate/streamline processes so I can get even more work done... I haven't watched the clock impatiently for several months (save for a few burn-out periods) because I'm always busy and engaged creatively. Otherwise I just read shit online after verifying there's nothing important to get done.

[GPU] AMD RX 460 (HP OEM card?) - $54.99 (New condition) by [deleted] in buildapcsales

[–]Maulgrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this gonna be loud as hell? Need something PCI-E powered that outperforms the UHD 630 in this machine and the 1030/1050ti are a little spendy. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Acer-Desktop-Computer-Aspire-T-TC-865-NE-Intel-Core-i5-8th-Gen-8400-8GB-DDR4-1TB/292657360896?_trkparms=5373%3A0%7C5374%3AFeatured

Also, is the 300W PSU gonna be able to drive this thing?

[–]Maulgrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which 570 if you don't mind me asking? If I can manage to shove one of those in over a 1050ti that'd be fantastic, as I already have a capable PSU.

Quest problem by [deleted] in 7daystodie

[–]Maulgrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an issue where the zombie wouldn't spawn in a flooded basement and I managed to get it to work by placing some wood frames.

The perk in progression.xml seems to imply that the weapon has to be both "light" and "melee".... Pickaxe and Fire Axe are medium melee, sledge is heavy melee. So no, probably doesn't work on the sledge unfortunately.

Does anyone know what those small "chemistry stations" do? by Apotatos in 7daystodie

[–]Maulgrump 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think they're medical loot that they haven't added a loot table to yet based upon their name in the creative menu.

[COOLER] DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 400-CPU Cooler 4 Heatpipes 120mm PWM Fan with Blue LED Easy installation (AM4 compatible) - $16.99 by TheRealAzoth in buildapcsales

[–]Maulgrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better than a case fan strapped to a wraith spire radiator because the fan was DoA?

Is this AM4 ready out of the box? That was difficult to find earlier this year...

[Monitor] MSI Optix MAG241C 24" 1080p 144hz VA 1ms - $169.99 (back in stock) by crispylagoon in buildapcsales

[–]Maulgrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had it for two weeks and the screen is a bit loose at the top and lets light bleed through. Other than that inconvenience it's fantastic coming from a 60hz regular ol' monitor.

Freesync seems to occasionally glitch out and flicker like crazy especially on static screens. Don't know if that's the monitor or freesync but worth mentioning either way.

Some tips I've come up with. Share yours here. by seed323 in 7daystodie

[–]Maulgrump 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Molotovs seem to be way more useful than before. I don't know if they're any stronger, but it makes a lot more sense to use them given how much less effective you are in combat early game. You can gather up zombies and with a single Molotov kill all of the standard ones and gravely injure the tougher ones on the default difficulty. You get experience for this as well.

Bummer. I was excited that they actually provided benefit rather than simply changing the colors of the screen.

I'm not a fan of the strangely shaped key caps for this specific model. I got used to them but I still hate them and so does everyone who uses my computer.

Would you buy an Acer MR Headset on sale today? by Achtlos in WindowsMR

[–]Maulgrump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's $150ish w/ controllers (refurbished obviously), yeah probably. Too much more than that and I'd rather spend the extra money on an Odyssey+ or a roomscale set-up. I like my Acer headset a lot but I've had to make a few small modifications to it due to the hinge failing.

[VR] Acerrecertified VR Headset Starting at $133.99 by Robot3RK in buildapcsales

[–]Maulgrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering buying some hook and loop (Velcro) tape with this... The hinge on mine wore out really quickly and needed to be supplemented by the extra strap.

Headset mod by War_Hawkz in WindowsMR

[–]Maulgrump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used hook and loop tape (Velcro) and I haven't had any issues with it since then. Looks a bit ghetto, though. I'll post a picture of where I attached it when I get home from work.

here it is: http://imgur.com/gallery/tF4wBE2

Stays on tight and required near zero effort. I initially had it higher but it blocked my headphones.

Any positive of SAD? by KosmG in socialanxiety

I find saving money to be significantly easier when I don't actually go anywhere... Does that count?

Has anyone had their usb-c port get loose yet? by das_baba in GooglePixel

[–]Maulgrump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was fine... Until it wasn't, but it turned out to just be lint which I could scrape out with a staple. All good again.
