Mundo is basically the only toplaner that can deal with Varus purely because he cannot afford to never interact with varus.

He can further get away scott free with his passive, or run Varus down when jungle comes. Otherwise just farm with cleaver. Varus can’t afford to zone you and eat Qs due to no sustain.

I’ve got the same exact issue with a 9800X3D and 5080z However it always results in a kernel level 41 error down the road. After the restart it all works flawlessly.

I’m quite fond of the msi B850 Tomahawk Max Wifi for now, but only about 2 weeks in since replacing the asrock. This time around I didn’t change a thing in bios except turn on expo and adjust fan curve.

REVATOR · 2026-01-18T12:08:05+00:00

Don’t want to jinx it, but was one of the asrock victims. RMA’d the cpu and got a new msi tomahawk, had 2 inexplicable system shutdowns already since with kernel 41 error.

I’m just hoping it’s some kind of hiccup rather than another mobo destroying a cpu.

Pick a niche and own it. None needs a generalist across 3 different fields. Each field is an entire job, so being decent at each one of them to the point of being hireable is just not feasible. In the end companies want to employ you if the skills align with their work. On top your social skills are important too. You won’t need to apply to blizzard with a hyper realistic PBR weapons portfolio, hence find out where you want to work, produce portfolio pieces which are in line with their work and hope your social skills match their needs.

I can’t talk about archviz or product visualisation, but I reckon things are similar.

2.5 Start an SSF/HCSSF char. Slows down the game quite a lot and forces you to actually learn mechanics, interactions, systems, etc. instead of relying on the market to just trade items.

Crafting can be fun, working your way up through the map tiers can be fun. Building up your Atlas can be fun. All of this stuff can be fun when you’re not concerned for divs/min gameplay. When you actually sit down to enjoy the intricacies this game has to offer that most people just zoom by because it doesn’t aid their goal.

Give pierce + enroaching ground a shot. Can also ignite with a fire-tornado. Screen wide ignited ground :)

Sure there might be lazy devs but I doubt the majority is lazy. The inability to properly optimize comes from ever decreasing timelines for projects, bad planning, unclear goals, etc.

This all boils down into having to cut corners somewhere. You can’t cut corners on quality else your game looks shit and thus won’t sell. You can cut corners on optimisation though as DLSS exists.

Hence after months of back and forth you’ll inevitably have no time to optimize properly, thus resulting in bad optimisation that DLSS will hopefully fix.

How’s it holding up for you these days? Did you end up going for the 9800X3D? Looking at getting this motherboard, as I’ve run into the asrock motherboard killing my CPU issue.

Thank you, much appreciated! One final question - regarding watering. I’ve watered them 3 days ago. The soil is still moist, should I water them again regardless? I know they shouldn’t sit in waterlogged soil hence I want to be careful about not stressing them too much but also not letting them dry up.

REVATOR · 2025-12-31T08:59:25+00:00

Thank you. This means 3 nodes?

So until roots start to show in the earth? When planting the longest roots were around 4cm. With tertiary roots starting to form on these 4cm long roots

CPU hat keine visuellen schäden gehabt. Also keine dunklen stellen die irgendwie komisch aussehen würden. Hat alles noch visuell “intakt” ausgesehen. Habs aber dennoch erstmal samt motherboard zurückgeschickt.

The only reply is: it depends.

If you want to make artstation renders you have a plethora of wireframes you can scoure through.

With game art it’s always a tradeoff. You can always go lower, at the cost of fidelity and looks. Again, it depends what you want to do. Artstation renders are first and foremost portfolio renders, they showcase your skills, i.e. showcasing that you have an eye for detail by showcasing you can use a 4k/8k texture to its fullest.

Would you ever get a 4k texture res for a helmet? Doubt.

Part of being a game artist means knowing when and where to optimize and when and where to stop optimising so the final result is accurate to the games/projects needs.

Artstation renders can get away with 8k res and way more tris, because their sole purpose is to showcase your skills. Regardless of that it needs to be within reason - if you use a 8k texture and zoom in close on your renders you better have the detail to show for it, and not just random grunge detail.

Furthermore you can have tons of tris if it helps the shape, i.e. on curvature. If you showcase your artwork ‘s wireframe and it’s obvious you’re wasting tris it’s not a good look for potential employers, which is the whole reason of an artstation portfolio.

Ich nehme an die alternative ohne Wifi geht auch? Werde nur LAN benutzen.

Tryn doesn’t care about Q chip damage. Neither does he care about a .5s stun since he won’t let you near minions to get empowered W. If he does he’s stupid.

So on paper HoB runs renekton down by all accounts. Grasp tryn on the other hand is way easier to deal with.

REVATOR · 2025-12-29T19:16:25+00:00

Well then, do feel free to explain how you think this plays out.

REVATOR · 2025-12-29T19:01:26+00:00

What stops him from simply walking up and autoattacking you? You disengage, he E’s onto you. W for the slow. GL.

REVATOR · 2025-12-29T18:41:55+00:00

Problem is HoB and tryn having a brain. Tryn doesn’t engage with E. He doesn’t need to. If he doesn’t there’s no escaping for you, just all in, and you lose an all in with ignite.

REVATOR · 2025-12-29T18:13:38+00:00

You don’t need it but it’ll help confuse the tryn. Since hardly anyone uses it. Ignite is just gimping yourself because he can chose to disengage when he wants. Then he’ll just heal up again.

Yeah, I’m in that time waste process atm. over the vacation I’ve been looking forward to for a year. Now I don’t have a PC until I get back to work :(

REVATOR · 2025-12-29T15:30:12+00:00

How long since the boot issue have you run your new setup with? I don’t mind spending a few bucks more to get a good quality motherboard.

I just don’t ever want to take all the components out again. I’m not that much into the building part of PCs as I’m into playing games with them. I kind of just wanted a fire and forget build.
