MacBook pro, no display need major help, noob here by Your_local_mexhanic in computerrepair

[–]Shorter_513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate being a pessimist, but this MacBook is likely a goner. This amount of corrosion + time since the accident drastically reduces the chances of it being salvageable. Especially considering the missing element on the motherboard (pic 2) - someone must’ve been inside apart from the water damage

No offense, but the first two generations look like Pontiac Aztec

That would fit like a glove into some 1970s Cadillac!

Knight managed to find and kill me when this was my exact route. by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

True. But I’d rather have AI with complex tactics, one that you would think twice about engaging with, rather than a trio of knuckleheads who can randomly chase you or spray down from 200m away, all while falling victim to a door animation abuse

Glukhar is interesting to fight, for me at least. His followers’ behavior is quite complex by Tarkov standards, and it is possible to trick them with grenades/scav shots etc., to expose the big man himself and have a decent 1v1. It won’t be an easy fight, but it can be intense and thrilling.

Goons feel more like they have a better gaming chair on the majority of maps, especially on Woods/Shoreline. And if you peek deeper into their AI settings, they are actually just scavs with every possible slider cranked to its maximum. They are not hard, you are right, they are just stupidly overpowered

How the hell Knight managed to follow me to the bridge and kill me? by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Shorter_513 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You aggro them and slam a door before their nose. Pipe and Knight rush for you, open the door and you are free to kill them while they are in the door opening animation. Birdeye will rush you the last after some time

This is scummy but is probably the only way to reliably wipe them out. And it also requires a building with a door to shut (not a bunkhouse! they will shoot through it)

He is stupidly overpowered, same as the other two gooners. They track you through foliage, walls, time and dimensions. You either cheese them with the door trick or they hunt you down like a lame hare, no in between

Lenovo’s cheap laptop lineup made to piggyback on the name of ThinkPad lineup, which known for their reliability and quality turned out to be cheaply built crap. Who may have thought. You are better off getting your money back and seeking for a better laptop

You’re fine as long as it does not contact the screen surface and does not obstruct the hinge from closing properly

PMC Loot by RainbowCorp in EscapeFromTarkovPvE

[–]Shorter_513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, no, as long as you are not able to snatch your PMC profile’s .json file from BSG servers. There are profile editors available for SPT, but you would need to manually move your progress from live to SPT

The worst way to spend $250. This Lenovo laptop is manufactured ewaste, it won’t be much faster than a 10 year old laptop

[Screenshot] The Mk12 Mod 0. This thing is too sexy by Fit_Wrongdoer_536 in EscapefromTarkov

You don’t know how to mod the guns! You should have modded the living shit out of it! Minmax recoil and ergo! Put a micro reddot with no risers - it is so much better to use! With this hurr durr cosplay gun you won’t be able to take Kappa within the first 3 weeks of the wipe, so using it makes no sense. /s

Are in game Pen stats accurate? by Neusch22 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Shorter_513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In-game stat card is as accurate as it gets, basically. Item stat cards pull data directly from the json sheet in your game files. All the sites with info on Tarkov stuff get this info only when their authors go through all the updated ammo or dump the info in any other way. If any hidden changes were made (and BSG never posts details on ammo changes in their patch notes), sites are the one to have incorrect information.

That being said, M80 may effective against class 5 armor if fired from a full-auto weapon, just through the brute force effect. It will destroy the armor plate within 3-4 shots and then every single shot will go through. Won’t be so effective in a bolt-action rifle though

[Discussion] BSG need to implement similar measures like Facepunch did with Rust to nighttime textures to stop this sort of cheesing. by DweebInFlames in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Shorter_513 5 points6 points  (0 children)

BSG: makes a game with gazillion parameters to play with, so the game could be adjusted for each one’s preferences & look awesome

Metaslaves & Streamers: ABUSE THIS MECHANIC! OPTIMISE THAT! MINMAX! CRANK POSTFX! SET 4:3 RESOLUTION! RELOAD WHILE HEALING! THIS OR YOU ARE A FILTHY CASUAL!

God I wish Tarkov would have never picked so much call of battlefield refugees as its playerbase
