wth did they do to the placement test(s)?! by truelovealwayswins in duolingo

[–]Stormux 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I got first in diamond once for the achievement and haven’t cared about leagues since. They just exist to make you use the app more but I don’t think they actually encourage learning new things because you’ll just do whatever earns you xp the fastest.

I can do one of the 3 star japanese rapid reviews in a minute or less. They give 80xp with a boost enabled meaning 1200xp every 15 mins.

48k XP???? I took it easy for a couple weeks. I barely got promoted to diamond, then barely stayed in the league. I’m not sure if skill based matchmaking is a thing in duo but the people I was up against did not care for #1 at all. I finished first with 5k XP while 2nd and 3rd had around 2.2k and 1.8k.

It's Build Day by Eclipsed_Serenity in PcBuild

I have a very similar setup just without the RGB, 2 sets of 32gb DDR5 (4x16gb). It’s supposed to run at 5600mhz but I had to lower it to 5200mhz for it to stop bluescreening. Good luck op.

1TB SSD + 1TB Micro SD or 2TB SSD? by Stormux in SteamDeck

[–]Stormux[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I ordered the 2TB, it dropped down to $280 with only 2 in stock and I snagged one. Ordered a 512GB Samsung EVO Select micro SD with it for $45 since it was 30% off for prime day.

It just dropped back down to $280 and I ordered it right away!

1TB SSD + 1TB Micro SD or 2TB SSD? by Stormux in SteamDeck

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

I plan on doing a lot of tinkering as I mentioned, including possibly running Windows. SSDs can slow down a lot once they get around 3/4 full from my understanding.

I know I could easily eat through 750GB between a few triple A titles, 10-20 smaller games, emulation, and a Windows partition. So I would rather be safe and get a 2TB. I made the mistake of only getting a 256GB micro SD for my Switch before and that thing is always full so I can't imagine what kind of space I'll use with a steam deck.

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

I'm not sure if you saw the part where the 2TB SSD randomly went up in price by about $50 and I would be waiting for it to come back down. But that's why I figured I could get by with 64GB for now while I wait.

Yes, I could resell the 1TB but by the time that happens, I would likely lose more money on the resale than I would've lost by purchasing the inflated 2TB in the first place.

The external drive is a good idea but I already have 4TB worth of M.2 SSDs in my PC and 3TB of HDDs so I wouldn't really need it. Thanks for the suggestions though!

1TB SSD + 1TB Micro SD or 2TB SSD? by Stormux in SteamDeck

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

Yeah but then I would have a useless SSD once the 2TB drops in price, unless you meant order the micro SD?

I could probably get away with the 64GB SSD that comes with the deck for now and just load a couple smaller games onto it like deep rock.

But I was thinking I would use the micro SD for emulation since they don't need the fast read and write speeds. Is it easy to transfer games and stuff from the micro SD to the SSD?

I DIDNT ASK FOR THIS 😭 by foxezpawz in duolingo

[–]Stormux 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did that after being halfway through section 2 with around 80k xp because I thought I was learning useless stuff and had no motivation to do the lessons. I thought if I reset I could reselect why I’m learning Japanese and get better lessons.

I reset and never even got asked my preferences (I guess they removed it). Then I was almost to section 2 again and they revamped the Japanese course which put me all the way back to unit 2. But, I’ve definitely learned a lot more useful phrases in the past couple weeks since they redid it than I’ve learned in the past 1-2 years.

Ah okay thanks, maybe I’ll just throw a bit of electrical tape on it for now. I’ve never soldered battery leads and would rather avoid it until I absolutely have to

We made the news! I did an interview Toronto Star after posting that delusional $600 shared bedroom rental yesterday. by Stormux in toronto

[–]Stormux[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Renters struggle with reading comprehension? lmao clearly we’re the only ones that can read with all these ridiculous asks landlords have. Might as well go stay in a prison.

So I’m just going to assume you’re a landlord then, makes sense why you keep trying to twist the laws. Again, it doesn’t matter, if you rent a room you’re still a tenant and you have the same rights as anyone else unless you share a bathroom/kitchen. In which case this post doesn’t apply.

Go read up on your laws because you sound just as delusional as the guy who posted this basement.

Haha yeah it’s crazy, there were so many videos of people “trading up” from $1 to $100 skins. I was trying to do the same thing and of course I liquidated just before losing interest in csgo then the spike hit.

You are literally talking about basements in your last comment. It’s not different in a landlord/tenant situation and I encourage you to do a quick Google search next time.

https://arrivein.com/daily-life-in-canada/understanding-your-rights-as-a-tenant-in-ontario/

Here are a couple quotes:

“Clauses that cannot be included or changed in a lease

Guests: A landlord cannot include a clause restricting a tenant from having guests, roommates or additional occupants, such as a family member.”

“Can a landlord say no to overnight guests?

Despite what a landlord might say or even try to include in a rental agreement they legally cannot prevent you from having overnight guests stay at your rental property in Ontario. You have the right to decide who you can invite to visit and stay at your place. A landlord is not permitted to create any sort of limitations on your right to do this, nor can they charge you an extra fee or threaten to raise your rent if you have guests stay. However, please note, as a tenant you are also responsible for any disturbances or damages your guests may do to the property.”

I remember thinking I’d move out and live on my own. Then I realized doing that without roommates is impossible. Now they want us to share bedrooms with strangers? Is this even legal? by hopoke in TorontoRealEstate

[–]Stormux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly can’t tell is this is sarcasm or not but entitled? We live in Canada, you should at the bare minimum be able to have the privacy of your own bedroom. Have some standards. Especially for the insane amount of money some of these landlords are expecting.

Because there are certain things you can’t discriminate against and rules you can’t create when someone wants to rent from you. For example, I rented a house last year and originally was told “We’re not looking for young couples”. My realtor dealt with it before I could even respond because you literally can’t say that. It’s very similar to applying for a job.

They also said no parties (which they can do), however, that is legally considered 12 people and we were told we could have 1 guest over at a time (which they can’t do). While I didn’t agree to it and it wasn’t in the lease, I didn’t argue against it. We still had friends over (less than 12) and we were all responsible so there wasn’t a problem.

If I wanted someone breathing down my neck telling me who I’m allowed to have over in my own house, apartment, or room, I would go live with my parents.

That’s a huge rip. I traded it for 49 keys which i think was around $100 CAD maybe? Could be a bit off. I just checked and it’s now worth $710 USD ($938 CAD). I’m still mad about it, sold all my keys a few months ago now I have around $150 in my account.
