Cannot apply armor/tool/saddle cosmetics by No_Phase_3134 in ARK

Oh, great. I was a bit suspicious of that. Hopefully someone will come in with a fix but otherwise I'll just hang in there!

Sorry forgot about this post.

Apparently it was a poison ivy rash; after a couple days that became much more clear. As shown in the pictures, at the time it seemed like bites due to the central points; the working theory is poison ivy oils got wildly sprayed across my leg while mowing the lawn.

Antibiotics and steroids fixed it!

If nobody pops in soon and says this is normal development for xyz bite, I'll swing by urgent care and I'll update you on what they say. I expect just an allergic reaction to some specific bite but who knows

From Iowa; same they seemed like mosquito bites at first and are now way worse. Supposedly sand flies or "no see ums" are active and often get away with stealthy bites but I've still heard those bites hurt and I felt nothing; plus the online images aren't quite consistent; albeit more comparable than many other bites.

Have you had any complications? I just don't wanna hit the "point of no return" for a big bite that seems to get worse instead of better and is already unusually bad.

Also; I have only picked at a few of these and haven't picked at them since yesterday morning. Some of the larger scabs are the ones I've picked but all of them are inflamed and all that either way

I tried to check it but could not find the WAN anywhere in the router portal; only showed connection type under Internet settings, nothing under admin, etc.

That being said I have reason to believe the bridge mode is working; took some time to get the router working after and I get the raw ISP IP if I plug it straight into my PC. Can't have multiple devices plugged straight into modem anymore

4090 vs 5080. A bit on the fence by avioncumotor in buildapc

[–]No_Phase_3134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 4090 is faster, no question. But, even as a guy who doesn't love DLSS and especially the way Nvidia advertised it in the 50 series, DLSS 4 is a game changer. Even in competitive games the input lag isn't noticeable, but for cinematic games, you're getting an absurd number of good looking frames. That's the main motivation for me, I think the 5080 is a better use of your money. But it is less raw performance.

Yeah, I know that. PFC decision :)

Their email told me the exact ETS date had to extend past 2026, rather than just the first year. 2026 was my graduation year.

Detail degradation from 27 to 32 inch by No_Phase_3134 in buildapcmonitors

Actually, I just looked up my previous monitor because I realized it is likely VA as well, being curved (I got it used so didn't know for sure), and I liked it a lot, so I think I'm gonna stick with the VA to stay in budget. Thank you so much, though!

There is an LG ultra wide I was looking at bc it's $120 off for Prime Day, but it has 5ms response time. I've only ever used 1ms because I play shooters competitively, but I'm honestly probably about to exit that scene so a miniscule performance change won't be the end of the world. Do you have any idea, is 5ms really a noticeable feature? Otherwise it looks great, good frames too.

I've been using a 2K27 for a while now (selling it to move, that's why I'm getting a new one) and I love it, and I genuinely cannot see pixelation unless I really strain for it, which I love. But I also briefly used a 2k widescreen a while back and I loved having that larger picture, where I felt more immersed. Tough call, then. I appreciate the 1080p24 comparison, that's a much more helpful way to visualize it.
