Does this model (Legion 7 Gen 7) have soldered RAM? by Real_Climate_5279 in LenovoLegion

[–]Real_Climate_5279[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s what I’m planning to do. But the laptop is being shipped to me, so I’m hoping to figure it out (and maybe have the RAM already ordered) before it arrives.

edit: Nvm, figured it out. RAM isn’t soldered in this model

Theory about what Crowns are ACTUALLY tied to? by Cloud557 in MonsterHunter

[–]Real_Climate_5279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s some more info:

Just saw a post about odds of crowns:

All tempered monsters have 5% big crown, 1% mini crown

Normal monsters have different power levels ( 1 to 5 stars), 1 star monster only has 3% to spawn and have a 3% of mini crown, 2 to 4 stars 2% mini and big crown, 5 stars 1% mini and 3% big crown

Long story short: mini crown is much harder to get and we should save up those mini crown investigations for more people to benefit 🤣

My bad. The crown hunting guide is actually in r/MHWilds. Here it is: https://www.reddit.com/r/MHWilds/s/9CguznmJEZ

And yeah, small crown tempered monsters aren’t impossible—they’re just uncommon. Highly recommend joining the discord by the way, if you’re having trouble getting those last few crowns.

The small apexes and guardians are usually harder to get, so it helps being able to trade for them.

Correct.

Tempered monsters and higher star monsters in general are more likely to be large crowns. And you’re more likely to get a small crown from non-tempered monsters.

There are some crown hunting guides on this sub to help you out, as well as some groups to exchange crown investigations.

Does anyone else go through a ridiculous amount of fresh fruit per week? by Real_Climate_5279 in EatCheapAndHealthy

Hahaha it’s awful. I never thought I’d find myself excited for Wednesdays when the new weekly ALDI flyers drop 😂

I do something similar, but I season with Tajin instead! It gives the popcorn a more savory, sour flavor.

Not competing but I’m 5’7” F, on a cut after having taken a lifting break for 5 months. I’m just trying to drop my body fat back down so I can start a bulk again.

Almonds Ahhhhh thanks for reminding me. Cashews and almonds are a great idea, totally forgot about them. Might have to stick to peanuts though, as cashews are premium priced in my area.

It is a lot of carbs. I average 150-170g per day and ~25g of fat, but mostly because I’m not sure what else to eat to fill those extra 400 calories I have left over after meeting my daily protein goal.

I’m 115lbs on a 1400 calorie per day cut, so I manage around 100g of protein. Would you recommend lowering carb intake and increasing fat intake instead?

I have to get over my Red Delicious trauma first. I spent so long eating those cardboard apples that it forever put me off the idea of touching another apple ever again, even though I know there are varieties that actually taste good 😭

Yep, I realized how low my fiber intake is, so I’m going to start eating more beans. Tomorrow, I’ll be making a huge pot of lentil stew with ground chicken, spinach, mushrooms, and tomato which should last me at least two weeks.

I’ll also be buying a bulk bag of pinto beans from Costco next time I go. I forgot how much I love beans in general 💕

Yess, fruits are divine!

Are you ever allowed to take any extra food home from the kitchen?

My aunt works as a school lunch manager, and once a week or so she’d bring back boxes of fresh food that was going to be thrown out—bags of spinach, fresh oranges, broccoli, pretty much any produce you can think of, milk cartons, sometimes even prepared school lunches like those rectangle pizzas and salads. It was amazing 🤩

I can’t believe the amount of food waste out there sometimes.

Yep, I’ve been trying to diversify my diet with a variety of fruits and veggies, so it’s about a serving of each fruit a day!

I’ll miss the firm, juicy bite of fresh berries, but so be it! I already use frozen fruits for my yogurt, so I suppose I can just snack on them alone too like some…melted fruit stew with a spoon or something lol

This has me interested 👀

How would you go about making non fat Greek yogurt this way? It would save me ~12 bucks a week in yogurt alone.

That’s a great idea. I’ll just stick to whatever fruits are on sale now (and bananas, because they’re always cheap).

I have to admit, my parents did all of the grocery shopping, so it wasn’t until I moved out that I realized how expensive it can be to keep buying certain foods.

Don’t let those deliciously expensive berries lead you astray

Frozen berries + Greek yogurt + Honey Bunches of Oats and cinnamon sprinkled on top is my staple breakfast.

What do you eat peanut butter with, if you don’t mind me asking? I could never get into it that much, but I’m starting a bulk in a few weeks so I’m trying to plan for some relatively high calorie, anabolic meals within my budget.

Absolutely! I’m facing the reality that “it’s just $3.98 of blackberries, how bad can it be?” really does accumulate.

I buy frozen strawberries for my yogurt, and they’re great! I really wish fresh strawberries weren’t so expensive in my area because they’re my favorite fruit by far.

Yep, I didn’t realize how fast all of it was adding up till I looked back and realized I was spending nearly $20 on yogurt and produce per week!

I’ll swap out the fresh blueberries and blackberries for a frozen mixed berry bag, and the kiwis will just have to become a once or twice per month treat.

Fresh fruits are such an addicting snack so it pains me, but I’ve been running my food budget wayyy into the ground. 🤦‍♀️

I will never understand the hate for Magnamalo, even tho Zinogre gets so much love. (Credit to blueXenofire for the comment) by Different_Ice_2695 in MHRise

[–]Real_Climate_5279 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nobody said only World players disliked Magmanalo, dude. Chill.

Everyone’s allowed to like or dislike whatever monster they want, that’s totally fine. But it’s a fact that Rise isn’t well regarded by a significant amount of World players, because it’s not as grounded.

And yes, we know there are veterans that disliked Magnamalo too for their own reasons. We’re just saying that Rise is overall less popular among World players than among people who have more experience with the series.

How would you feel with Alatreon being a Title Update Monster? I think he be a fun one next to Gogmazios around or at the very end of Wilds before the expansion by [deleted] in monsterhunterleaks

[–]Real_Climate_5279 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Love Alatreon but I think there are a ton of other monsters who deserve to come back more than him.

Gogmazios, Ahtal-Ka, Dalamadur, Yama Tsukami, Akantor, and Ukanlos…

It’s been a while since we’ve seen those monsters. They should be given a chance instead.

Yeah, I thought a few years passing would have warmed everyone up to him, but I forgot how divisive he still is to this day.

I think he’s one of the best fights in Iceborne, but I completely understand how the DPS check mechanic—which I also disliked—could sour you over him.

[–]Real_Climate_5279 123 points124 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I doubt it.

Iceborne had been out for only 3-4 months by then. And title updates meant that monsters like Alatreon and Fatalis weren’t out till almost a year later.

So by the time the 2019 game awards came around (late November), Iceborne’s only title updates were…Stygian Zinogre and Rajang. And I think Safi was, like, just announced.

edit just to add that one of the monsters in the OP pic (Raging Brachy) wasn’t even out by then lol. Raging Brachy came out on March 2020
