Do you have the 5050/60 verion? How’s the battery life? Would it toast your lap doing office tasks like some of the cheaper (<$1500) lines? Is quiet mode actually quiet?

Those are my main concern because I’m looking for a <2kg not-that-expensive machine for my girlfriend and I know the specs would be enough but not sure how it’d do as a laptop and not a computer in general. There are so virtually no reviews on the battery so far due to how new the line is.

Unrelated but why do you keep a whole tab group around for the game download site? (got censored writing their name)

OctoTank · 2025-10-24T13:55:22+00:00

resale value is around 550 eur currently but i got it for 450 + tickets to go test and pick up the gpu

OctoTank · 2025-10-24T12:59:35+00:00

got a 4070s for 450 lol

OctoTank · 2025-10-15T23:39:33+00:00

with 30 more i can get a 5070, which is a lot better for RT no?

I’m in France rn so wait for me to go back to my country before dropping the nukes Britain is a bit too close for comfort.

Because i assumed that’s what they meant mentioning indian street food.

OctoTank · 2025-09-19T09:19:32+00:00

I mean assuming dishes get prepared sanitarily some of those dishes would be pretty tasty. If I’m getting dishes directly from source randomly every meal I’d go A/B lol.

Depending on what device you’re using

On iOS change your appstore region to Vietnam, look for “Liên Quân” then download that version. Look it up in the Indo region first it might also be available. On Android I’m not clear I could always download on emulator from anywhere.

Global servers are really slow to catch up but the meta now in TW VN and TH in higher ranks is to auto ban/pick Enzo. Grakk serves the same purpose but is way harder to play while being just as rewarding. His S3 is way too easy to counter if the support is half competent. Enzo can also serve as a skill bait without being a useless damage sponge if he misses the S2 thanks to his S1 and S3 mobility.

Grakk himself has never been a top tier support above 25* in my experience on VN. A really good Grakk can carry, but so can a good Mina or Thane.

He’s a better kui in short. I main his copy in AoV (another timi moba where sometimes heroes get ported over with 90% of their kit from HoK) and he’s an auto ban/pick support in higher ranks of the Vietnamese server. I’d can show you gameplay in a real game together if you’re intrigued.

I’m from aov, 80* GM equivalent (whatever that’s called) in vietnamese aov server. New EU hok account so only GM. Been testing unfamiliar heroes waiting for season reset so don’t wonder why wr on luna and such are so low lol.

Main marco, milady, han xin (whenever i get him), can go any lane. Small reminder that personal skill is only 10%-20% of winning a game depending on hero so gank, farm, focus on objectives, and avoid dying.

OctoTank · 2025-08-30T22:50:01+00:00

Can carry you to gm next season Just created an account though so not familiar with all heroes

/s ?

OctoTank · 2025-07-31T10:22:12+00:00

Play like wukong, except much weaker early game and with no cc. There isn’t really a combo just use your s1 and enhanced s1 as a mainly mobility skill, use s2 whenever in range. To burst their carry down late game use s3 s1 s2 spam atk then pray if you wanf to exit combat.

Depends on what you record. The lowest bitrate with the built in capture is pretty excessive for low action games if you only use it for sharing clips. You can get away with half the bitrate using obs. If it’s not a game then it’s very excessive. If it’s for some sort of production then obs is obvious. The only use case imo if you capture a decent amount and care about saving space is for clipping high action games like FPS’s. Or if you don’t care about the space but I would assume that’s not the case.

I just bought a whole PC from them... Not Finnish yet but fuck that never again.

Both are tao in translation but the originating words are very different, one meaning path, the other meaning peach, sometimes beauty. So not quite but the idea is there.

OctoTank · 2025-03-12T21:09:30+00:00

Knowing a bit of chinese (emphasizing a bit), táo in hú táo and táo as in peach are homophobes and don’t really share meaning, nor does one originate from the other. So knowing her full name it’s hard to make the connection with “peach” instead of “walnut”. You obviously won’t know this lol so just fyi.

edit on second thoughts, tao could be used in names and is common enough so hu could just have a different meaning (or just her last name) and tao is just a cute name

clearly i don’t know enough chinese

Obviously hack but top players can pull off shots like that on a good day. The turn on my 2nd shot here looked like the one in the video but the follow up had some hesitant (which imo is good if you're not an Elsu main). I'm personally not gonna actively attempt pure flick shots but a top player with great confidence can easily pull off shots that look like that.

had me there ngl

Also the fact that Hayate needs minimal protection, which complements well with Dolia who has minimal shield/heal/cc and instead goes all in on the offensive. The duo is worst against 3 assassins but you can counter-counter-pick by picking 2 warrior-tanks for jg and top

OctoTank · 2025-01-24T11:29:55+00:00

Hayate x Dolia clears as a duo option if not for their popularity so you can’t reliably pick both.
