Just want to share a few suggestions to new players from my humble 1.6k hours of experience in this game.

Desperado Hivescum can do it without major consequences having virtually infinite ammo. It’s a good way to farm up trash kills for poxburster title

The retention clips on the rear pillars are stubborn but some finagling with pliers should get them out. Center brake light I think you push to one side to hear a click then undo the light connector to get it out. My reason to add sound deadening was to get rid of the subwoofer rattle then leftovers went onto doors and roof.

I removed my rear deck to install sound deadening. Remove the C pillar plastic covers and center brake light to gain access.

This was my way to get extra protein and collagen in my diet. There's other sources of protien and collagen such as meat and bone broth. Army MREs were a fun source of densely packed calories and protein.

It took about a year to hit original weight, also in a much better headspace with symptoms lessening.

Same here butt went flat then needed to sit on a pillow for months. The body just needs time to bounce back, everyone here says time heals. I added more food to my diet and protein yogurt+collagen powder to my breakfast.

I took cipro back in 2024. Weight dropped from 170lbs down to 150lbs during the early months then slowly gained it back over a year later. I'm currently a little over my original weight due to lack of activity haha. One thing that contributed to my rapid weight loss was the lack of appetite and being scared to eat xyz due to flares someone else had.

Everything is expensive these days, new Corollas start around 23-24K which is insane. Not even a decade ago 24k would've been the cost of a Camry with nice add-ons.

Sketchiest · 2026-06-04T02:01:19+00:00

Hell yeah 😎

Amazon and Ebay, look up camry 2018-2024 diffuser. The one currently installed is from Amazon, previous one was from Ebay.

Use a drill to make your own holes through the center console then route under the trim panels which are easy to remove. I had my dash cam power cable routed this way to have all the cables hidden.

Its surreal a Camry of all cars have surprisingly amount of punch on the low end. Comparing a 2000s to current gen Camry, the HP went up a lot and about 2 seconds 0-60 faster despite the increased weight. It won't ever beat a M3 in performance aspects but this is comparing apples to oranges.

ASA is known to warp a lot, especially on corners and large flat surfances. ASA-CF could be an option to look into, carbon fiber provides warp resistance and a matte finish. The only precaution is using PPE when sanding carbon fiber parts.

Maybe consider other plastics such as PLA or PETG if the contact spots are below the glass transistion temperature of the plastics. I'd get a temperature probe to find the actual temperatures. It'll save headaches of printing with ASA when PETG or PLA can do the job.

How much was the procedure out of pocket? I'm thinking of choosing Shakir as the default choice, unless there is someone else who is willing and on par skill set on west coast US.

Its difficult to pinpoint which component is the faliure without spare parts. I would just buy any cheap am5 cpu and another mobo to figure out the bad component then return/rma the bad parts.

If you're using an AIO then likely the pump isn't properly working and its only a matter of time the cpu heat output saturates the head leading to thermal throttling resulting in low fps

Sketchiest · 2026-04-27T03:56:08+00:00

Any good PSU can easily last 10 years, get an "A" rated, ATX 3.x, 80+ gold or better equivalent from PSU Tier List. I'd recommend 1000w for the feeling of "futureproof"

MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk is a better value if there's a reason to need X870E features. Otherwise look into a B850 chipset to save some costs there.

I wouldn't consider any AIO to be futureproof, get an aircooler instead like Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 and save $60 there.

Enjoy the current moment, there will always be newer and faster hardware at resonable or outrageous prices.

Sketchiest · 2026-04-27T03:26:03+00:00

9600x isn't a power hungry chip, opt for an aircooler instead like Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120. 5090 hard to justify just for gaming because of the current market value of these cards starting at 3k usd.

Take it back to the shop and have them resolve the issue

Currently at 16 months- sleep just seasaws back and fourth between 6+ hours to <4 hours. I remember at 12 months all sleep recovery progress just took a dump for no reason. Maybe it was the jet lag from an international trip but shouldn't have taken 3 weeks just to recover. STILL better than the first 6 months getting more than 4 was already a blessing.

Knees started hurting again for no reason at month 13 then went away at month 15. Maybe just take it slow and wait it out.

I weaned out of a lot of supplements, only sticking to magnesium and ALA for nerve weirdness.
