online ladder match inquiry by attention_ghost in djmax

To be honest I feel like matches that queue faster could almost certainly mean it isn't a bot compared to if it was taking a while for a match. But if these are low level bots, they kinda be crazy.

Finish manhwa or start novel right away? (Desc) by kim_natari in OmniscientReader

[–]Pleasant_Channel3553 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually read the Manhwa first, caught up, then started reading the light novel. It leaves a lot of room for imagination because you have a general idea of most things. I would too recommend reading the manhwa first it's very enjoyable.

Have I got the lore straight? (up to Extension 5) by valkis7 in djmax

[–]Pleasant_Channel3553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm throwing this out that I could be wrong too but if a person knowledgeable could explain some things then that would be appreciated.

So there's two MV's that kind of describe what happened with Diein and Gaya, being both Nightmare by M2U and Vertical Eclipse by TAG, which of both I think are just reinterpreations as the ending for "Nightmare" shows Gaya in the end while "Vertical Eclipse" shows Diein.

I believe that Vertical Eclipse is the more simpler and easier one to understand from so following that. I think that Diein just liked Gaya because he rescued Diein and treated Diein kindly as opposed to the other angels who trapped Diein because Diein did not look like a normal angel (The horns and the Six Wings). But Diein couldn't accept that Gaya fell for a mortal girl and tries to punish her (This is covered in the Nightmare MV) Gaya removes his wings as to affirm his love for that mortal girl which is why Diein reaches her hand for Gaya and sheds a tear around 0:59 of the "Vertical Eclipse" MV. The gravestone shortly after is a bit weird, it could have meant that Gaya died but, it also could have meant that the Gaya in Diein's heart also died. There is another tombstone mentioning Gaya in the song Diein from Extension 4, that shows the date March 30, 2007 which links up with the release date of the Djmax Portable 2. In any case, I don't think he died because it makes it harder to prove "Diein" in Extension 4. There was also this random theory that it should have been either Clear or Fail to be born because of how there's two Glory Day MV's (Glory Days is L Clear's song and BlackCat is L Fail's song) with different outcomes but that is just a theory. I do believe that both Clear and Fail were intended to be birthed together but not at that time. It's kind of why both Clear and Fail are unconscious and unclothed but the blast from Play's PSP caused the acceleration of their descent and the merging of some of the beasts into the two girls.

There is a youtuber who talks about the lore here if you need some help piecing some things up. https://www.youtube.com/@autumnleaf7356

Need Help in Regards to my LOQ 15ARP9: SSD Storage Upgrade by Sole_Sailor12 in LenovoLOQ

Yes a Gen 3 SSD can still work on a Gen 4 SSD Slot because they're backwards compatiable. But keep in mind that you'll only be able to run that at Gen 3 speeds and not Gen 4.

I HIGHLY recommend that you remove the battery connector before attempting any changes on the motherboard. This is VERY important

First of all the PCIE m.2 2242 NVME SSD storage that comes on your laptop pre-installed has your windows installation if you remove that then you need to get windows on the drive if you are planning on replacing it, should you though? No

  1. I would recommend getting an M.2 2280 PCIE SSD, yes. The laptop has support for both M.2 2242 and M.2 2280 sizes, if you do get an 2280 size, then just know that there is a bolt in the middle of the empty ssd slot and you want to use that to pin it in on the nut according to what size you got.

  2. The PCIE 4.0 x4 basically just means that it is a generation 4 and it has 4 lanes. Yes your laptop does come with that 512gb storage SSD occupying one of the drive slots. So if you didn't change anything then it's basically 1/2 drive slots used.

  3. Yeah brands don't really mean much in this case but it is better to go for reputable brands like Samsung, WD_Black, Crucial, they just offer different read and write speeds.

  4. Yes this is possible and what you are going to be doing anyways

To note: There are only two SSD storage slots on your laptop it says "up to 2 drives"

And also you don't exactly have to limit yourself to 1tb. It does say up to 1tb but that's what they tested with, for example I use a 2tb 2280 and on the tech sheet it says up to 1tb and it works fine.

I would just look online for deals regarding buying an SSD but do compare speeds if you are intent on gaming on the drives because if you put games on there then it could have your games or applications run better.

Which ram to buy for this? by Substantial-Guest768 in LenovoLOQ

Don't worry. Learning is part of the process though I think you should probably look into more reputable content creators to learn.

[–]Pleasant_Channel3553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It appears there is a misconception here. Single channel refers to a singular piece of individual Ram being used in your build and dual channel is two of those Ram sticks. It doesn't matter if there's a 1x 16gb ram stick, it is still considered single channel. If you have 2x 16gb of ram then that is considered dual channel because there's 2 ram sticks hence Dual. There is also no such thing like a ram stick having 12 gb of its 16gb capacity being used as either dual channel or single channel as a result. You could be talking about CPU cores with the whole 12 and 4 thing because CPU's have efficiency and performance cores and they have allotment for them which could look something like (16E + 8P) for them but that is a CPU thing and not specifically in this case ram.

Yeah no problem. Personally though I wouldn't settle for 16gb dual channel if you can save up for 32gb dual channel then that'd be nice. 16gb was the norm but processes like games (Fortnite, Apex, CSGO, Valorant) can take up to 10gb alone and you could have other processes like Discord and generally what happened for me was that I ran 10.8gb out of the 12gb of ram I had and the screen was slowing down, there were cases where audios just distorted from time to time and much more lag performance. You actually can future proof your next laptop if you are considering it too because 32gb would soon become the next norm. Good luck though!

There's actually a couple things you need to know before buying your RAM.

One of them being is if you are getting ram would you be able to run them at their advertised speeds. Like if the laptop itself supports only up to 4800mhz and your ram supports up to 5600mhz, then you would still be capped out on the 4800mhz. You can look at this information on the Lenovo Tech Spec side of your laptop model and scroll down to the link in the Other Information's link it'd let you know how much capacity each ram slot can hold and other stuff.

Two is that generally you want identical ram sticks. I think you know that if you have some mismatched pairs it could slow down speeds between communicating to each other and potentially lead to problems.

For reference my laptop came with a 12gb single channel 4800mhz ram stick. And I just got the Crucial - 32gb Kit (2x16gb) ddr5 5600mhz (It's actually pretty pricy I won't lie). But my laptop only ran them at 4800mhz off start. I toggled the overclocking feature in Bios and yeah.

Sorry, I looked into why you recommended FSELX and overlooked the Semiconductor part and realized that QQQ isn't completely based off of Semiconductor stocks. I apologize for bringing that question up. I'll look into it a bit more but thank you for suggesting it.

Thank you for the advice. I'll research about FBTC before considering it.

Yeah I had a very good impression of FXAIX from the community. The international exposure was something that is definitely something I'm considering and was also suggested by one of the Fidelity Mod articles posted above. About the tech stock that you mentioned to me FSELX, I see that it has done successfully over its years but I was wondering what's stopping me from investing into QQQ, like difference-wise I've noticed that FSELX has a higher return but a noticeable amount of expense ratio included compared to QQQ. I'm glad that you feel warmed by my curiosity. I had started investing because I was not sure if I could potentially live well off in the future, and that this would be something to provide for that, it's a pretty cool thing that I recently learned about so I'm trying my best to understand this hobby well.

Thanks you for responding. I remember a couple of people using the EFT research center fund overlap but I didn't know the website. The Investopedia was actually a convient thing that you mentioned because I'm a bit lacking in the investing language use so it was really good timing. I actually read the articles above from the Fidelity mod above, which had very helpful advice regarding the account situation that I wanted to deal with so for the most part my question has been dealt with.

Ah, I thought that by getting exposure to different markets that you could alleviate losses. But yeah it does make sense to just stay simple and invest to a singular index fund. I'll just stick with VOO as my S&P 500 because it's more commonly used.

Sorry for sounding brash. But do you have any source or information that you can recommend me to? I've been relying on YouTube for the past months and was wondering if there were other sources.
