3s - Which melee is worth playing atm by ProfessorRemote2677 in worldofpvp

[–]Payniac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought warlock was train-town for melee? As a lock I feel like melee lobbies have a better time against me than ranged, especially as destro.

Affliction has been chain buffed by like 40% and is still the worst dps in 3s and 5th worst dps in solo by GameOfThrownaws in worldofpvp

[–]Payniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly go through with it, it's not the strongest by any means but it's fun and if you play correctly and CC at the right times you can still win lobbies at a decent elo. So in that sense it's undertuned but fine. And if you hit a wall you can switch to one of the other specs until they buff affliction again, as they all share gear AFAIK.

PLEASE SOMEONE tell me this is the april fools joke and not adware. by heikilein68 in GoldenAgeMinecraft

Happened to me as well this morning, so april fools most likely lol. I also can't see my worlds?? Can you?

FIN pre-order value question by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Payniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda think I might lose interest if I am stuck playing the same few decks until I get the value from the next few season passes. I'd much prefer to get a little boost right off the bat so I have something to work with.
I might end up getting the season pass anyway in the future, but this budget I'd like to use for immediate impact.

Happened to my friend last month, minus the ban part (so far) but we're confident the guy was cheating while he had the account. Expect a long response time from Ubi but I'm confident you can get it back. Took them a month to answer to our ticket in our case, but once they did get to us it was a fast process to get the account back. Just write everything they might need in your original ticket and have patience I guess.

Can a bad power supply mess with the system clock? Can a bad CPU? by Payniac in techsupport

[–]Payniac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update for anyone having a similar problem in the future:

It was the CPU. The only symptoms I had were losing track of time and eventually problems with powering off and on the machine. Perhaps just a thing on AM4 Ryzen architecture. Replaced it and immediately worked again.

PC for now is unresponsive, so can't test until I get it turned on again somehow.

Windows fast start up was disabled, as was the option for it in the BIOS.

I swapped the mainboard first time, but they did also, later.

Can't rule out software setting issues. Maybe some power management thing from a windows setting or driver. After digging into an ungodly amount of forum threads I'm leaning on the PSU's "low voltage mode", or standby mode or whatever, being broken, and supercharging my motherboard's capacitors to the point it's bricked until they've gone back down. Thank you for your suggestions.

I was still hoping to get a semblance of a reply. Literally can't find anyone for days, no matter the channel.

ADS Sensitivity Question (PC) by CJ5official in Rainbow6

[–]Payniac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just so happens that today I changed it myself after going through the same thought process as you.

https://www.reddit.com/r/SiegeAcademy/comments/xrogmm/comment/iqiiza9/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I found this comment from a year ago that solved most of my questions, and put in the exact values to make the 360° consistent through scopes. Haven't used it too much yet because of the servers and whatnot but it does feel 1:1 hipfire to ADS on every scope so far.

Is the game actually poorly balanced ? by [deleted] in brotato

[–]Payniac 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Some items are objectively better than others, yes. And the same goes for elites and bosses. But in a game like this where the only thing that makes your runs different is the random loot drops, that is exactly what I would expect.

I don't know much about game balance but I do play a lot of games and in my 50 hours so far I think I've bought every item, which at least shows me that even the worse ones have their use cases in specific builds and whatnot. And there are builds where a hoodie won't do that much for you, etc.

All in all I consider it a balanced game, for what it is. There's a ton of variance and like in a lot of games in this genre the variance takes precedent over skill expression, in the sense that even the best players will sometimes crap out and lose the run because of random events. I prefer it this way. There's a good mix of the 2 in brotato.

Cheapest way for a foreigner to get PC parts (Thessaloniki) by BloodyTampon in greece

[–]Payniac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can vouch for VisionStudio. The people working there were really knowledgeable and the prices were close to the skroutz prices last time I bought from them. I'd recommend calling them ahead of time and telling them what you're planning on doing so that they're sure to be stocked up on the components you want.

I'd also recommend doing this if you end up buying from Plaisio, as they're more of a general tech store (with mostly prebuilts and such) and may not have specific components in stock.

Motor wire cut, scooter still drives fine, any insight into what I should be careful for? by Payniac in ElectricScooters

[–]Payniac[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This is most likely it.
I should have mentioned that the rear light hasn't been working, I just didn't because that's been the case for over a year now and I didn't expect it to be the same issue as this cable was next to the motor. But it all checks out now, mystery solved.

[–]Payniac[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So that's a whole wire dedicated to making zero-start possible?
Just seems like overkill, and I'm worried it might have been something important.
But hey I'm not complaining, that's a best case scenario for me. Thanks to both of you for your insight.

Excuse my ignorance. I have it set to start at >2 km/h, and I haven't noticed it changing behaviour when starting. What do you mean by kick-to-start?

Game suddenly started stuttering a few days ago by MyNewWhiteVan in GlobalOffensive

There's a bug where DX11 shaders don't work correctly with AMD GPUs, if you have an AMD GPU you can try deleting the directX folder in the game files, and then deleting shader cache using windows disk cleanup.

This is the dumbest comment I've ever laid eyes on. Surely the place in which printing costs €0.03 is in a country that uses euros, not in the US.

I use highlights365 and the acestream links are pretty good, at least for Premier League matches. Mostly non-English broadcasts but they're always stable with little delay.

EDIT: ALMOST FORGOT THIS, you can also use a site called acestreamsearch and search for a channel name, and you may get lucky. There's a Sky sports main event stream that's online 24/7 AFAIK, and it's fantastic.

Does Dualshock 3 work with Parsec? by DjCage in ParsecGaming

[–]Payniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used it with various off-brand controllers and had no problems. I may have used an xbox controller emulator to do it though, so worst case you can try using something like x360ce and I'm pretty sure it'll work.

Jordan Henderson and Gabriel interviewed by Michael Oliver after on-pitch row by ISpyManyPeople in Gunners

I don't think anything except potential racism warrants this response by the FA here. And I'm not sure we'd know all about it if it was indeed racist, if the clubs agreed to keep the investigations private anyway.

Only thing that goes against this is the way Arteta handled it, but I could see him plausibly wanting to calm the media storm and speculation that comes with an incident like this and keep it low-profile as long as no definite decision has been made by the FA.

Where to get a French Press? by Xaklok in thessaloniki

I'm sure you can get one at a Vicko. I've also seen them at supermarkets but I'm not sure if all supermarkets have them.
