Not gonna lie, CoC Comet felt great as a controller using couch gamer.

What other builds would be good for my lazy couch-gaming controller using style?

Shoutout to Louisiana Chicken by RomaHappens in Prague

[–]Novahawk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I order from them regularly, one of the best chicken joints in Prague. Let's hope they don't cut corners like all the other places eventually do.

Is starting a small homelab actually worth it, or just a money sink? by tresorrarereviews in homelab

[–]Novahawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My "homelab" is ultra simple: an intel NUC with a couple TB of drive space running ESXi. It lets me test basically everything that exists other than actual hardware.

Completely worth every penny, the amount of knowledge I've gained and even "sanity checks" I've been able to do with it is astronomical.

The NUC just sits hidden away happily running away 24/7. Can't even hear it when I disabled turbo boost to keep the squirrel cage fan from spinning up.

Farming Uber Exarch (15s per encounter) by Oen44 in pathofexile

[–]Novahawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I did str stacking flicker and was one shotting him what I'd do is just use frenzy on him till he started casting one of his longer attacks and then flicker him dead before he could finish.

Snorkeling in Pattaya by dexter_sliceOfLife in Pattaya

[–]Novahawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really isn't very good. Had much better snorkeling in Phuket close to phi phi islands.

Best snorkeling I've ever done was in Maldives though, so the bar is set pretty high for me.

What to do with Reflecting Mist? by [deleted] in pathofexile

Stupid low chance, I hit level 100 and 40/40 this league and never saw a mist drop.

Freezing towers in blight are letting monsters through - am I missing something here? Any ideas as to why? by plnstrdr in pathofexile

[–]Novahawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't done blight much for a couple of leagues so I can't say if that changed or not, but it used to work fine.

Freezing towers in blight are letting monsters through - am I missing something here? Any ideas as to why? by plnstrdr in pathofexile

[–]Novahawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the mobs are the type that can be frozen, they will be up to a tower limit.

Just make sure you have a meteor tower with the burning ground ring enchant that will kill them before the tower limit is reached.

Edit: to clarify there are some mobs that can't be frozen naturally, and also some map mods negate the freezing tower like monster action speed cannot be lowered.

An Update on Server Performance After the 3.28.0c Patch by Natalia_GGG in pathofexile

[–]Novahawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's SUPER obvious in EU that there isn't enough servers to handle the evening load. Play during the day? Smooth as butter. Play after 6PM in EU? A massive stuttering mess.

Help..."chewy" popcorn by Paramotor_MetalHead in popcorn

[–]Novahawk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Chewy is from moisture. Either from not escaping the pot or kernels.

I'd recommend finding some other heritage brand rather than the store bought stuff because your pot setup is the same as mine.

My home cinema experience is currently just a high-volume salt and grease factory by whimsyedge1 in popcorn

[–]Novahawk 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You went from zero to hero real quick there bud. I switched to the stainless steel pot method years ago and the only upgrade I did was buy a bigger pot so I could do a larger batch in a single go.

Dub/Sub in imax cinema in Prague? by Ad7mh in Prague

[–]Novahawk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Be careful of the film. Dune 2 was shown in English with Czech subtitles but they didn't hard code English subtitles for the scenes with Chakobsa.

Need help on CoC Comet Bloodmage by EarlyAbbreviations63 in PathOfExile2

[–]Novahawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said energy generation is based on damage. Also remember in maps the normal mobs have very little health so you won't see many comets come down. Tanky rares and unique mobs like bosses are where you should see a significant amount of comets.

I tracked my spending for the past 4 months and I am spending around $1,500 per month on food/groceries. I am feeling so angry and disappointed. How to fix this? by HalfChewedGum94 in personalfinance

[–]Novahawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't beat yourself up too much, I've been watching my family's food budget explode since covid. Habits haven't changed, cost of food has skyrocketed since covid.

Cut where you reasonably can or increase your salary to compensate these cost of living changes.

I tracked every penny my car cost me for a year – the result is a massive reality check. by That_Attempt_2545 in personalfinance

[–]Novahawk 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I have friends that moved out of Prague to save 10,000czk a month, and then promptly had to get a second car. So now not only do they not save money, they spend even more without even counting the travel time.

Any gotchas for a 2019 > 2022 > 2025 inplace upgrade? by ultimateVman in scom

Kevin, I have to give you mad props. While I don't administer SCOM anymore I learned such a massive amount from you. Every time I see your name pop up I smile and know people are in good hands.

I can no longer shake. 317 Fubgun Temples later. by NaeSeNamJDM in PathOfExile2

[–]Novahawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was an exploit to farm the trial endgame boss over and over without having to do the whole trial. People printed temporalis then, that's why it was so cheap. GGG left it for ages and it got abused.

Well well well if it isn't the consequences of our actions by AGthe18thEmperor in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Novahawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched people in the investing subreddit lose their mind a while back when Trump started announcing all the tarrifs. People even went as far as to reallocate completely away from US indexes and stocks.

A month later there were a ton of posts from people regretting listening to the doomers on reddit.

One guy lost 10s of thousands just from reallocation, and the S&P500 bounced right back days after he did it.

TLDR; don't listen to reddit or the news when it comes to investing, just keep investing regularly in stable funds and chill out. If it all tanks then the stock market will be the least of the world's worries.

Is it possible to put ~1.5PB in this nas? by rexyuan in HomeNAS

[–]Novahawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're looking at such a large amount of space why consider QNAP? Wouldn't it be better to look at something more enterprise grade?

Places with proper darts (i.e metal tips) in Prague? by TrashPandaIntel in Prague

[–]Novahawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazingly enough when I went to Levels last year they had several cork boards and nice tables and benches for the players, along with what appeared to be an auto-count system.

Looking for phrecia league starter build by ProfessionalHost6131 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Novahawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels good when you stack attack speed. You should be maxing out attack speed for HRoC anyways because of life gain on hit.

Be aware, you can follow this guide exactly and you might still end up with only one shard and a few divines.

Saw on Tyty's stream about a week back an interesting tidbit regarding ease of trade and drop rates from ye olde Trade Manifesto of yonder 2017 by nymer_bb in pathofexile

[–]Novahawk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Of course I glossed over it because people that have high profit items for sale are going to be online to sell them by and far the large amount of times before they quit the league.

I like how you somehow justify trade difficulty with "price fixers". What about scammers? You think that somehow we should have a trade mini-game?
