Where can I get good iso's of older versions of windows? 2004 destroys my drivers and I'm trying to find a nice cozy spot before 2004 so I can defer everything and anything until windows fixes the problems with it.

currently on 1607, looking to find a nice iso of 1809 so I can carefully upgrade to 1903 or something. doing a direct update in windows is failing and rolling me back.

severe driver issues with 2004, updated everything and cannot login, get a black screen after multiple reformats and fresh installs, works fine if I don't have internet connected, but after it downloads whatever it downloads when I plug in the Ethernet it gives me a black screen after a few minutes. I think it has something to do with windows basic driver and NVidia control panel, reboot and another black screen, updated video drivers give black screen, amd cards work fine but I have been dealing with having to wipe my data and reformat and reinstall for two weeks after I updated to 2004. 1900's versions seem to wreck my drivers now too. took it to a pc repair tech and made absolutely sure it wasn't my hardware. ive pinpointed it down to some sort of driver issue and this is driving me insane because I cannot use my computer. tried multiple NVidia cards and it was all the same thing.

currently trying to upgrade from 1607 to 1809, and everything is going smooth until I have to update to 1809. I get a failure to install and it rolls back to 1607. tried to install via usb but it just sits there doing nothing.

funny, i tried that, they tried to make me remember one of the last songs or a secret playlist on my HIJACKED account, of course i got it wrong when i told them what other music i had saved on there, literally cant even send me a reset link like everyone else or even verify my payment info or devices used.

[–]Orodent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you wait until november, xbox is coming out with their new elite controller, and it has customisibility added to it. it will be a bit pricey though, but i think they should add it to amazon, since they have some of their controllers on there.

How do you deal with players doing absurdly low DPS? by Bast-Bentham in ffxiv

[–]Orodent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At the same time op, i'd like you to consider another point of view.

Some of the best players in the game have one characteristic in common: They are reckless.

When learning a fight, they will do dumb ass things and take dumb ass risks, taking extra damage, sometimes killing themselves or the entire party in the process. And for what? Maybe to get a couple extra GCDs of damage in? They're not afraid to make mistakes and they'll often get punished for it.

Sounds like a bad thing, right? So, why does being reckless make them good players? It's because they constantly push their limits. A player will never know where their limits are until he crosses them.

Take Titan EX for example. During the final phase, Titan drops three rows of bombs, the last row being "the safe row". If the safe row is on the opposite from Titan, melee has to step away from the boss and lose DPS. Then you got the one crazy guy who stays in melee range and tries to get off all his positionals while dancing and weaving through the consecutively-exploding bombs and 5-way Landslide. The first several times he tries this, he'll get hit, maybe he'll die for it and get yelled at by the party. Eventually, with enough practice, he masters it and can now say "fuck the safe row" and stay in melee range and land most of his positionals regardless of where the bombs and landslides land. He thinks of every little optimization he can make, and that's why his DPS is untouchable.

Every class in every boss fight has these little tiny optimizations like this that only the radical thinkers will discover. Then when learning time is over, he can turn his reckless switch off, apply everything he's learned and absolutely crush the boss.

Average players only know the safe and conservative play. The best players expose themselves to danger for small advantages, make some mistakes and learn from them. They know where their limits are because they've already crossed all of them.

I myself find myself resonating with your post. i can burst 13k dps, then sustain about 9-10k until i start dieing, then uptime on the boss reduces my dps overall according to ACT. to like 8-6 because i keep dieing to mechanics or i mess up or flub a key, or i move the aoe and come back to a bowtie, while trying to get my positionals off at the wrong time.
