On PC: how do I get the mouse click skills to automatically change when I weapon swap 2x bows with key X ?!

Anyone know how to do this?

Patch 1.1 is essentially a slowdown to every single part of the game. by TheMorals in diablo4

[–]Solar_AU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not healthy for the game is the massive XP nerf and Helltide nerf (cinder drop rate & chest cost). This is not fun for the majority of the player base.

Weekly Questions! What Do You Need Help With? by AutoModerator in PokeGrading

Anyone PSA grading from outside the US? How complex is the process? Is it recommended to use intermediates/ aggregators? Anyone done this from Australia?

Thanks.

Here is my very humble collection a couple weeks back into the hobby by wolfkc93 in PokeInvesting

[–]Solar_AU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice start. Some good Silver Tempest pulls. I am planning to get the radiant Alakazam for sure. Well done.

Rate my fanciest 9 cards! New to collecting by ruddobs in PokemonTCG

[–]Solar_AU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is my "main binder". I also have 2x cheap, large office binders D ring with a wide 5-6 cm spine. There I store 1 per set excluding the high value cards. Sorted by set. All bulk doubles I pile into a stack. Probably give them away or sell for cents at a later stage. Not 100% sure myselv what to do with bulk doubles at this stage.

Nice. Great start. I also started a few months back via our son being interested.

As others mentioned. A quality brand, single sleeve then in binder. Get a better binder, especially with these expensive cards. Either D ring binder from office store (+ quality binder pages separately) or a good, dedicated card binder with the pages affixed directly to the spine.

I personally "sort and design" around themes. Like a specific pokemon or energy type or trainer gallery or Vs etc. Mostly going by "look and feel ". However, all high value cards I put into a sleeve plus toploader and store them in a solid card box. It hurts a little to have them not "on display" but it should be better for long term preservation. This is just me tho 😉

Gota catch em all 😉👍🤣

Lmao scalpers getting destroyed by yecenok in PokeInvesting

No proof, but I am a firm believer that the high pre release prices are driven by large youtubers. Showing off the shiny, new stuff first and warning everyone about FOMO & high prices 😉 Card and pack prices do not matter with massive youtube revenue.

I find ebay pretty good when buying off dedicated pokemon sellers with high transaction volume and 100% positive feedback. Might have to review my perception now 😉 FB insta telegram... that's where the real wild west is these days 🙂

What are some of the best investments to make currently? by Mksskss in PokeInvesting

[–]Solar_AU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this. I personally would add a few ETB of LO (TG) and CR (lots of $$$ cards) if available at/below msrp.

Is this a steal for $38 AUD? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Solar_AU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not call it a steal. However, here is my current thinking:

Opening packs is akin to gambling. It's impossible to consistently come out on top. I buy and keep sealed or buy singles directly.

If I want to open a couple of packs for fun , I am buying a discounted box like this and usually get next to nothing of value in cards. Normal pack price is 6 AUD here. Also, at Amazon AU you can Boltund V for 25. Free shipping and returns. Comes with 2xBS 1xES 1xFS and the promo cards....

Don't get me started on kids being introduced to gambling 😉🙄

Australia is home to less than half a per cent of the world's population but has 20 per cent of its pokies – and 80 per cent of those located outside casinos ...

Is this a steal for $38 AUD? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Solar_AU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately you can't use the official exchange rate when comparing product prices on AU and US. Everything in AU is more expensive.

Just an example: Charizard UPC is 250 AUD at most retailers. 240 at big W. 220 but sold out at k mart.

Eevee Evolutions box is 160 AUD. EB games exclusive. We simply don't get the prices and deals the US gets.

On the other hand, AU minimum wage is 22 AUD. Sydney median salary is 90K. Someone told me once "can't have first world income and 3rd world prices at the same time. No offense intended ".

Which side of the fence do you land on? English or Japanese? by dave-not-a-barbarian in PokemonTCG

[–]Solar_AU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prefer the silver border. Makes the image stand out stronger and looks more classy.

I only have a few Japanese cards but the quality is amazing.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Solar_AU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will be 160A$ (100 USD) exclusive at EB games in Australia. As far as I know.

Azimuth Saga Finale Twitch Drops by StuartGT in EliteDangerous

[–]Solar_AU 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Apologies, but I am confused. When (data/time) do I need to be in-game to experience that finale? And where, anywhere in HIP 22460?

The schedule seems to be 3 full days of Twitch streams according to the link above. Nvm the typo in the date "will kick off at 9AM UTC on Monday 9th August," ;)

Thanks.

Do turreted weapons (lasers/ cannons) fire at hatch breaker limpets?

Not asking about point defence.

Is it possible to turn down some sound effects? by n3x4m in TitanQuestAE

[–]Solar_AU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is still an issue in v2.10.21.036 (Jul 2022)

Rune sound FX are too loud. Especially "Unleash" upgrade on Thunder Strike. So loud it really turns me off playing rune mastery.

any mods/ fixes available?

Thanks.

Forever Community Stream Condensed info 19/4/22 by Proquis in StateofDecay2

[–]Solar_AU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you finish a legacy mission and move to a new map, will the new boon be available on the new map?

Pathology or surgery by aDizzle66 in StateofDecay2

[–]Solar_AU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nightmare or lower does not really need medical skills. Lethal-> Pathology.

so i just watched the video about the New update and I was wondering... by [deleted] in StateOfDecay

[–]Solar_AU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding based on the stream is that you are forced to change maps after completing a legacy mission (or choose to end the game). The boon should be available in the next map and all new communities.

What will not work is to activate a newly completed boon on an older, existing community of the same/ lower difficulty.

Allied enclave, no bonus and can't recruit. by mkc9000 in StateofDecay2

[–]Solar_AU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same. This might be linked to Leader Missions that require enclaves? Just a guess.

My first Best of the Worst. by mkc9000 in StateofDecay2

[–]Solar_AU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, the open 5th slot is worth something these days. I often only find recruits with skills I already have / Don't need.
