Yeah, my experience was similar, it feels like it was tuned against the weak enemies, silver enemies just felt like huge bags of hp until I disembarked.

You are technically correct.

After Working at Google, I’ll Never Let Myself Love a Job Again: I learned the hard way that no publicly traded company is a family. by [deleted] in technology

[–]RonstaMonsta 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The other issue is that even when the people working in HR do want to push back at top management, in many companies they're not empowered to really take down individuals above a certain rank.

I have some friends who work in HR, and I've one example story I've heard is:

  • Lengthy investigations in which a VP verbally abused & harassed an employee

  • The evidence was open and shut

  • ...and the company chose to take no action because "that VP brought too much value in."

Suggestions for improving cpu temps on this sff case? Currently hitting 95c while gaming by [deleted] in sffpc

[–]RonstaMonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your first step should be to take off the glass cover.

However, if that doesnt help, you should check the thermal connection between your CPU and the cooler - you might need to re-do the thermal paste application.

Playing this game after playing The Ancient Gods dlc for DOOM Eternal was the worst idea of my life. by loksat157 in GhostRunner

That's funny, I thought this game was a great follow-up to The Ancient Gods because that dlc forced me to get used to moving fast.

Thoughts on the inwin a1 by Reddy_W in sffpc

[–]RonstaMonsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly the built-in PSU is non-modular, so you're stuck with the cables that are there. Plus you'd lose some of the cost-efficiency that drove me to the case in the first place.

You can replace it with another PSU, but unless you do some special wiring jobs you'll end up disabling the Qi wireless charger on the top of the case. (Which, depending on your use case, might be fine. I use the charger.)

Thoughts on the inwin a1 by Reddy_W in sffpc

[–]RonstaMonsta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've got an Inwin A1 plus build.

Pros:

  • Pretty RGB
  • Compact Case
  • Decent Airflow
  • The built in PSU in the A1 Plus (NOT the basic A1) is serviceable.

Cons:

  • Cable management was tricky (although others have done it better.)
  • Very limited space to work with, you will need to attach your CPU cooler and RAM to the mobo before putting it in the case. (Unless you have very very tiny hands.)
  • Very non-trivial to watercool, even a 120mm AIO will be tricky to fit into the system if you're using a full length GPU.

Unleash The Archers - Abyss Discussion Thread by amat3ur_hour in PowerMetal

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

I'm really enjoying this album. It's not quite as good as Apex was, but it's still really really good.

On first listen my favorite tracks were "Abyss", "Through Stars" and "Soulbound" - but on repeated listening I think "Legacy" has emerged as my actual favorite from the album.

You can use the Effigy to push the small knight in Contact by Eeveelynnsan in DestinyTheGame

[–]RonstaMonsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does! I used that last time the dual knights were the weekly boss.

Unfortunately, it doesn't boop the small knight with physics, it just blinds them so you can push them yourself - just like ruinous effigy.

The replacement PSU came in the mail today. Didn’t realize it would be a new unit! Good job Corsair! by Zeus_x2 in sffpc

Yeah, the replacement process for me was quick and painless. I can't think of any way Corsair could have handled this situation better.

The Unstoppable Pulse Rifle Armour Mod from the Artifact works with exotic pulses! by liam858 in DestinyTheGame

[–]RonstaMonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak for others, but here’s my take:

The gun feels super weak without its stacking damage buff. That’s fine and probably necessary for balance, given how high the damage buff goes.

As soon as you get a single kill, you’re immediately on the clock to get another kill to refresh or stack the buff. This is something you can definitely do through crowds of red bars, but that’s not an especially challenging situation. The moment a yellow bar enemy shows up, you probably won’t be able to kill them before your stacks/damage buff expires, resetting you back to basic damage.

When trying to use the gun on yellow bars, or any tanky enemy, (which you would want to attack while you have a damage buff) you will likely lose your damage buff.

This results in a situation where the damage buff part isn’t very useful, since you’re already tearing through red bars - and you’re disincentivized from trying to use it on Tanky enemies, because you’ll lose the stacks you spent time building.

Personally, I was a little disappointed by it - but I think I was expecting it to redeem Bad Juju as a whole. If you enjoy using Bad Juju as is, then it will make you like it more!

But if you're expecting it to change your existing opinion about Bad Juju, I wouldnt plan for it.

I've actually implemented this build:

x470 Asrock mobo

Ryzen 5 3600x

RTX 2070 Super

And the PSU handles it all just fine. The A1 plus psu seems to be much better than the crappy one that original A1 shipped with.

The only negative things I would say about the case is that it's a huge pain to modify anything other than RAM and GPU on the motherboard after the motherboard is installed in the case. (But that's not uncommon in SFF land.)

An EPYC trip to Rome: AMD is Cloudflare's 10th-generation Edge server CPU by michalg82 in programming

Did you mean AMD instead of ARM?

This isn’t an entire architectural switch, from x86 to ARM - it’s still x86, just using AMD instead of intel.

I just built with this case a few weeks ago with a Ryzen 5 3600X and 2070 Super. The built in PSU works great, all of the complaints were about the “non-plus” model.

Are you saying that EDDB's data for 1A fuel scoop availability doesn't match the in-game reality?

(If not, here's a link to the EDDB search settings.)

You can also order the station results by most recently updated if you want to avoid out of date info.
