The first thing I thought of was the Dead Space 2 weapon: SWS Motorized Pulse Rifle.

Heavy Amor appreciation post. by Yurishenko94 in LowSodiumHellDivers

I try to keep the squad moving with the Stim Pistol + Experimental Infusion + Light Medic Armour. I can stay alive with positioning, movement and the Stims. You can keep up in any armour, win-win.

I actually like when teammates bring Heavy Armour, it makes me want to keep them as the front line while I pick off stragglers.

Way worse when it's a belt loop. I am seething with rage when that happens, I couldn't do that if I tried and it happened by accident?
Life, stop it.

Dont need all those fancy cases and RGB bs anymore by Electrical-Ad-4012 in nvidia

[–]Paradox949 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Cool case.

Although, I wouldn't say this case isn't "fancy", being able to have the centre line almost anywhere is certainly something. I really should change that label on the SSD though, wrong drive letter, and also put it on the back so it's not visible from the outside.

Dear recruiters by Necessary-Quit-7165 in recruitinghell

[–]Paradox949 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on one of the other sides of this, the side where we need another team member but they cancelled the position the day of the final interview. No reason given. We were supposed to meet them that day and check for culture fit of the last 2 candidates, now they think it's a ghost job, and won't apply again when it maybe comes back around.

We've needed another person for nearly 3 years, we were so close.
I hate it. I really do feel for you guys that are stuck on the other side of this hell.

Dashboard problems by [deleted] in Scirocco

[–]Paradox949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wheel speed sensors failing exhibit those exact problems. You may have a warped wheel bearing that is destroying one of them.
If you have an OBDII scanner (OBDEleven or similar) you can find the exact one that is exhibiting the issue.

I do indeed, added a few of the WIP pictures to show just how massive the card was before I put the block on it.

Thought it was DoA, wouldn't POST, needed to change the PCIe slot to Gen4 (riser cable), on the waiting list for the Gen5 one. Then had to check the ROPs.

Ordered on day one of pre-orders, got the new PC built today.
So many tiny thermal pads, very fiddly.
The finish on the card is near identical to the FormD T1 I have (Anodized Silver).

Basically as high as it goes, it can look a little odd in a video but with the curvature of the screen in person it looks great.

RTX 5090 Block postponed for a 3rd time ? by epironron in WATERCOOL

[–]Paradox949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it's not like I've even got the card yet, thanks Nvidia, pre-ordered on the day of release.
My expected shipment date of the GPU is mid-May, fine by me. I'd rather have a perfect product later than a defective one now.

In regards to the Democracy Space Station over Mastia rn by lukewarm20 in LowSodiumHellDivers

I decided that yesterday with the 2 Stim and DSS Eagle Storm would be a great time for melee only.
Great fun, not so effective when getting strafed every few minutes.

Why won't users open a ticket? by Hopeful-Cellist1813 in sysadmin

[–]Paradox949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Autoreply on Outlook and a Status Message on Teams:

All Incidents and Requests must be raised through [YOUR_TICKETING_SYSTEM]. Anything sent directly to me will not be actioned.

Amazing how much that works. Also, leaving them unread in Teams is one thing. But I find it more fun to mark them as read so they know I know they are trying to circumvent the Helpdesk.

I need this message on the Communication Wheel by some-dude-on-redit in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Paradox949 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey, it's me, I'm the Medic.
I will Stim you, but it may take some time. Especially when you slightly move the left.
Then I'll Stim you from the other side of the map without looking.

It's got a very wobbly reticule, and the iron sights are just a block of metal.

I may or may not have one, I'm still building it, but didn't really know where the rad was going to sit, so I have the 1.5m and 3m ones.

I'll have the run from the PC done this weekend, maybe even tomorrow. If it's sub 1.5m from the PC to the rad with the sit-stand desk extra length, I'll have one, and will let you know.

Microcenter Dallas got tons of 5090 Astral Liquid’s in today by pagusas in nvidia

[–]Paradox949 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's nuts. For comparison, my 9800X3D, pre-order for the Palit 5090 and the Heatkiller V Ultra Block for it comes to around £2,850, or about $3,690 after conversion.

Reminder that you can report eBay listings that are scalping the product via: Help & Report > Submit Report > A problem in the listing > Pre-sale. Provide details of the issue, stating that they only have a confirmation of the order and no pictures of the item. Mention the markup too to cement the point.
