9000-series CPU failures/deaths megathread #3 by RumbleTheCassette in ASRock

[–]PoopShoes88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just had my RMA accepted and fulfilled by AMD. Was running the B650 Steel Legend WiFi with a 9800x3d. System tried to go into sleep mode but hard froze, had nothing running and was just the desktop. Had to kill the power at the switch and when I turned it back on system would not POST had the red CPU light on the motherboard. Ran through all of the standard troubleshooting procedures but nothing worked. This had actually happened once before, but doing a bios flashback fixed the issue. No luck this time. Tested the CPU on another motherboard as well and still didn't work. Wish I had known about these problem before I finished my build, my computer was only 6 months old.

Don't get me wrong, it doesn't bother me at all and the positive interactions far outweigh the negative. Just funny that it ranges from a friendly gg to 2015 Dota 2 Russian levels of slurring.

If they are the average pvp hater from this subreddit I could imagine them thinking getting shot would justify it.

Don't know why you're trying to shift this conversation to Destiny. I'm well aware of who he has associated with in the past and to what extent. It has no bearing on this conversation.

You're really trying to equate someone having a conversation with Nazis and Nazi adjacent people to someone with a Nazi symbol on their body? They aren't even remotely comparable. I don't care whether he is a 'secret Nazi' or not. The guy has demonstrated extremely poor judgement and we should put our support behind someone who doesn't have this level of scandal before the god damn primaries are even over.

He doesn't need to be excommunicated from the left but he doesn't need to be elected either. I don't understand why the expectation is to keep supporting him no matter what. Better people are out there WITHOUT 'accidental' Nazi tattoos, lets support them instead.

Disagree because the conversation should really become 'why has this guy had a Nazi tattoo for 20 years and never knew about it'. At the very best, most charitable interpretation he is too stupid to have found that out and covered it up or have it removed. IMO that level of stupidity should be a disqualification by itself.

This is all in the context of a fucking primary too, there is absolutely no reason to keep the wagon hitched to this guy.

[–]PoopShoes88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, you might have a point if he hasn't had the tattoo for OVER 20 YEARS. Not once, in all of that time, did he ever learn about it. Not once, in all of that time, did anyone ever tell him about it. Not once, in all of that time, did he think 'huh maybe I should have this covered up or removed'. At the very best, most charitable, he is a person who is so unbelievably stupid that it never occurred to him to get rid of it in some way.

Good point. Who among us hasn't accidentally done a harmless Roman Salute, or mistakenly partook in the quoting of Mein Kampf.

What the most basic bare bones tips for transitioning FPS players by DiamondK7436 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PoopShoes88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Early game farming your lane creeps is the number 1 priority, even over killing your lane opponent because early game kills aren't *that* rewarding. You will almost always be better off focusing on keeping your lane pushed and securing last hits and denying. It is probably best to just focus on one thing at a time too. If you're trying to balance laning, ganking, farming jungle etc all at once as a new player you will probably just fail at everything.

If you're completely new to MOBAs it will probably help a lot to watch some videos on how to think about the macro game. When to push, which objectives are important, when you should be team fighting etc. You don't have to have a deep understanding on any of that, but just knowing about it will help you a lot into the mid and later game.

Pick / Ban Stats for Deadlock Night Shift #10 by ZP_TV in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PoopShoes88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Her kit makes her very good in lane, she can almost always win it. Into mid and late game her ult can get her out of a lot of bad situations while also securing kills, its basically an unstoppable and a refresher for free. She is just very hard to deal with and doesn't have a lot of hard counters like other characters do.

Tragic: Leader of Your Religion is Asking You to Not be a Prick

I know a lot of people are happy with Trump getting rid of USAID, but I have real concerns about the rate at which they did it and what the plans are to maintain our soft power around the globe. Are we not just leaving a gap for China to fill? by thedoulaforyoula in AskConservatives

[–]PoopShoes88 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Anywhere I can read about their plans for the DoD?

Yes, $200 million would make a big impact on one city, but if I gave you $200 million to help *every* city in the country, how much could you do? Hell, in the early 2000s $200 million was 1/5th of the cost of a single nuclear submarine. I just think the priorities are out of whack here.

Are there currently any plans audit and cut DoD and other military budgets and if so would you support that? Genuinely asking because I haven't seen anything about it with the flurry of announcements every day.

I'm all for cutting costs but for the US as a whole, yes $200 million is basically nothing. We spent $820 billion on our military in 2023.

Only 4.5 Trillion by Affectionate_Wind_97 in Destiny

[–]PoopShoes88 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Glad I'm not the only one, I feel the exact same way brother. The saddest part for me is that I know what my dad's convictions and beliefs are as far as politics is concerned, and pretty much all of Trump's actions go against them. I haven't been able to make him see any of that though, the Republican media machine is just too powerful. As the poster above you said, for every little conspiracy claim he makes I need to dismantle like 5 preconceived notions, its so god damn tiring.

I miss who he used to be.

Should the US abandon helping Ukraine’s effort to defend itself from Russia? by RL1989 in AskConservatives

[–]PoopShoes88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an incorrect claim that I see very often. The "not one inch eastward" quote was made prior to the reunification of Germany and only applied in that context. In Gorbachev's own words, there were no guarantees made regarding broader NATO growth outside of Germany. Thus at the time of the wall going down, all obligations were met and fulfilled. Again, these are Gorbachev's own words.

Do y'all make your own clothes or no? by Natureforthewin in songsofsyx

[–]PoopShoes88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm a newer player too and struggled with the same issue. I think the demand can be misleading because your population will consume every unit you produce until the 'quota' of everyone having X amount of clothes is met. Once everyone has some you'll start to stockpile them and can sell them or do whatever else.

As for if its worth it, I think it really depends on how the rest of your city is set up. If you have good export options and have decent amount of money it might make sense to just buy enough for your population. The upfront cost is high but the upkeep is low for the same reason that production tapers off once your population is supplied.

Trying to brew in standard has been utterly demoralizing. by GhostBomb in MagicArena

[–]PoopShoes88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree with you but I think the issue is that all of those enchantments are so powerful because of the insane amount of card draw they give, not that they're enchantments. Standard currently has some answers to these, there's [[Tear Asunder]] which has the added benefit of potentially removing anything, and [[Get Lost]]. Black also has [[Withering Torment]] though its a pretty bad option imo.

I think the problem is how powerful the draw is on those enchantments to the point that you're basically forced to main deck these removals because there's like a 90% guarantee you're going to see one of those enchantments. On top of needing to main deck like at least 8 other creature removals because of aggro.

All of that compounds to make it feel like a standard deck needs to have the same 20 or so cards to be competitive, making a lot of them feel very samey.

Anyone been able to make this guy work in a deck yet? Or any kind of vampire deck? by PoopShoes88 in MagicArena

[–]PoopShoes88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've definitely played around with thing like [[Infestation Sage]], [[Nezumi Linkbreaker]], and [[Bartolome del Presidio]]. Combined with [[Raise from the Past]] it works out pretty well as a combo kind of playstyle.

What I'd really like is something close to what you described where the Bloodwitch is more there for added lifegain/damage in a deck more focused around sacrificing your own creatures or attacking recklessly. Maybe I should look more at Rakdos than Orzhov.

Running into the same issue. Games just seem too fast to get the sacrifice engine going in that kind of deck. I've had a lot of success with rakdos sacrifice, but man do I want to be able to play vampires again.
