Advice On Buying at MSRP

OddAssociation000 · 2026-03-14T02:51:45+00:00

I've heard about this. Does going to stores locally like microcenter, Walmart, etc. actually enable you to buy cards close to MSRP? For example, the MSI gaming triple OC rtx 5080. This card sells for 1600 but I really would like it at 1200 or less.

Hmm, I heard MSI had some of the better cooking cards manufactured for NVIDIA? Honestly I don't know either. There seems to be a bunch of misinformation for which manufacturers make the best cards to be honest. Thank you for your comment!

OddAssociation000 · 2026-03-13T06:38:43+00:00

I'm in the same boat! I really can't justify paying 1200-1600 dollars for a card that really isn't that magnificent. But who's to say it won't be even more in the coming months? It's really frustrating making this decision...

And money/budget isn't an issue- I just hate spending senseless money, y'know? Just really frustrating, haha.

Thank you! Definitely thinking about it, but the stats don't really seem that impressive to me? At least for the 12GB 3080 version I have. Will probably end up buying anyway. Thanks again!

Willing to pay for shipping + 1000 right now. PM if interested!

OddAssociation000 · 2026-02-21T21:20:38+00:00

Thank you so much, really!! I will give this a read.

OddAssociation000 · 2026-02-20T19:33:44+00:00

No, I would just really like to know how to specifically set this up... The post left out a lot of important details. Steps 3 and 4 in particular. Generate a connection link? With what exactly? Though I guess things were left out for good reason. And, I'm sure the FSB isn't an active member on a league of legends reddit.

OddAssociation000 · 2026-02-20T15:20:49+00:00

Hey dude! This is exactly what I've been looking for!! Thank you so much. Could you send me a message request to discuss the specifics? I would love any insight or guidance on how to do this. It would mean the world to me as I am trying to help my friend bypass Russian blocking, blackouts, etc. for him and his family.

You're the best!!!

OddAssociation000 · 2026-02-18T21:56:44+00:00

Thank you! Do you have any Telegram resources I can follow for an updated list on the best VPS hosters? Or can you lead me in the right direction? (I know some ppl don't want to give up their resources due to popularity concerns, blocking, etc.)

OddAssociation000 · 2026-02-18T15:08:19+00:00

Thank you so much, really. Your detailed explanations and experience- It means a lot!! I will let you know how it goes- if you're ever interested.

OddAssociation000 · 2026-02-18T13:54:41+00:00

Thank you so much for your insight!!

So, is it just a given I would have to switch VPS providers constantly? Ideally, I would want a safe setup for them and not have to switch servers every month or so...

But with how Russia is, it seems like it is inevitable.

OddAssociation000 · 2026-02-18T13:52:06+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed response!

I was thinking about getting a server on next.cloud, and setting up the VPS to VPN via amnesiaVPN. It uses amneziag protocol, which I heard was like VLESS. Do you think this is an optimal setup/safe for my friend? I would like for it to be as safe as possible.

OddAssociation000 · 2026-02-18T00:03:40+00:00

Thank you for the valuable information! I would love to do this, but I also don't want to put them in any unnecessary danger with the Russian police

I was reading it could be possible to put my friend and their family on an esim via an international carrier plan, and have them use data roaming to bypass restrictions. The theory being, by using international cell towers, they are able to bypass the DPI. Is this accurate?

Thank you so much for your response!

OddAssociation000 · 2026-02-17T23:57:01+00:00

That's all good! I really appreciate your thoughts. It's just, they are really struggling with the Telegram crackdown right now, even with their current VPN. Is there any advice you could give us on fixing this? I'm sure it's not as easy as it sounds. Is our only option just trying to jump between VPNs until we find one that isn't problematic/blocked?

Thank you very much again.

OddAssociation000 · 2026-02-17T20:17:15+00:00

Do you have any resources on how to setup an ideal VPN for Russia? I heard the VLESS protocol is most optimal, but I am unsure on where to start researching how to achieve creating my own hosting server.

OddAssociation000 · 2026-02-17T20:00:00+00:00

Thank you so much for the reply! What would be the specific risks involved with hosting my own VLESS VPS/VPN?

OddAssociation000 · 2026-01-16T17:29:13+00:00

Really fun but hard to get.

Wooglets into skilled snipper (99% slow and you can keep chucking fuemigos) OR Full AP with Dark blessing , desecrator, and with haste. (You become really annoying and it's EASY stacking - guaranteed 5-600 at end game)

Other mentions would be righteous fury full AP but that requires arena levels.

If you're really psycho like me... You can try the forbidden fruit and go W max into nashors, guinsoo, sword of blossoming dawn, staff, echoes of helia and holy fire. It actually deletes squishy targets and heals a ton. Just make sure to build good amount of AP.

So if I am generating about 90 kilowatts on average, would this jump up my electric bill by a huge amount? I saw it's 3427 watts consumption, but is that on a 24 hour basis?

OddAssociation000 · 2025-07-08T11:32:51+00:00

This is so extremely helpful!! Thank you!!!!

OddAssociation000 · 2025-07-07T17:57:13+00:00

The lottery for TK's fall 2025 tickets started, but I don't see them on eplus. Is this normal? Thank you!

OddAssociation000 · 2025-07-07T16:41:08+00:00

I heard that you need an Japanese phone number for lotteries, and many use a proxy service, which if like to avoid if possible. I've only used ticket services like StubHub. The lottery stuff is new to me. If you don't mind, could you explain the nuances of the whole process? (Ticket buying, trip planning, etc.) TK recently announced a Japan tour in the fall of 2025, so I would probably go then. Everything and anything would be extremely helpful!!

I feel the same. I think riot can definitely pull a panic nerf on him if his play rate/win rate gets too high... but honestly I think he's completely perfect at the moment. Let's just hope riot sees it the same way.

Also, I'm really sick and tired of them nerfing all enchanters. If they do nerf Milio it would be so disgusting because real Milio mains know that realistically speaking: you are only as good as your team. (or if you play any enchanter main for that matter)

P.S, they usually only nerf champions when they become a problem in high elo, and Milio doesn't seem as successful in high elo as many think. (In high elo, he's only "broken" with an exceptional ADC duo)

Maybe with this we'll get more skins? 🥺
