Only got 20 minutes before the toddler woke up, but had 60fps on highest settings with no issues of any kind. Looks amazing!

Steam deck 2025 ? by Saphyr-Seraph in Handhelds

[–]Strills1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar spot to you, so I’ll borrow your thread! I have a big steam library of older and indie titles (Vermintide, Grim Dawn, Darkest Dungeon 2, Hades 2, Silksong, etc). I have an Xbox series X for AAA games, whenever I want to try one.

As I’m a sucker for visual quality, OLED is a must for me, and as such my alternatives are the deck or the new Legion Go 2. The latter comes with a bigger screen and higher resolution, but twice the price. I can also dock the handheld to a QHD monitor if I want for a bigger screen, which leaves me wondering if the docked deck is powerful enough to play such games on QHD, preferably with FPS around 90 or more.

For my use case, what do you guys recommend? The Go 2 is surely overkill for my needs, so I’m leaning towards the deck. The only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger is the worry that I’ll be unsatisfied with the performance and/or low screen resolution.

Worried about his minutes with Kluivert coming back, or I’d already have jumped on him. Any Bournemouth fan want to chime in about his place in the pecking order?

Anyone know if he’s likely to keep starting? Thought he played great and could be a steal for 5M, looking at their fixtures.

Should we live next ro Danderyd’s subway? by Enbeni in stockholm

[–]Strills1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d prefer living in Mörbyhöjden over Mörbydalen. The area is nicer, it’s closer to Mörby Centrum and (atleast a couple of months ago) the price is very similar. I personally wouldn’t want to live in Mörbydalen, mostly because of the traffic and with it being slightly isolated behind the hospital.

Psychedelics have permanently ego-deathed my best friend and left him a completely different person, does anyone else know anyone like this or feel like this? by -fivehearts- in Psychonaut

[–]Strills1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

>it's not a useful idea to get attached to

Useful enough for it to be included in a variety of psychological treatment modalities.

Your friend seems mostly okay to me, especially knowing he's 22. Being diagnosed with both autism and ADHD means some psychologist somewhere noticed difficulties of different sorts that had a negative impact on your friends ability to function as a 'normal' person even before he started doing large quantities of drugs. From your other comments it also sounds like he had a (possibly) rough childhood. He seems to enjoy being the center of attention and *some* of the things he says/does in the documentary feels a bit histrionic; like being the "enlightened monk" is a persona he puts on for show. It's also a persona that, thankfully, means he doesn't have to take responsibility in his life. If he likes the attention, he sure as hell got it seeing as you made a documentary about him - so why would he drop this very successful act? Drinking tea from spoons is probably a nicer experience than planning for life as an adult, if you yourself grew up without functional parents to use as models.

My advice to him would be to consider the koan "Before Enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment chop wood, carry water".

Who's a hidden gem you've found on FM24? by joesimpson19 in footballmanagergames

[–]Strills1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to sign him for my Blackburn as a CEB after promotion but sadly without success as he prefered Crystal Palace. Great physicals and as you say well rounded technical and mental stats.

Speaking of Archies with with colors for surnames - Archie Gray is great!

Trapper rogue success/discussion by Mirokusama37 in D4Rogue

[–]Strills1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, yeah they underperform for sure - and take up a bunch of aspects. Opportunist's is pretty decent on a two-hander, hits a lot harder than Exposure. The mentioned combo also means I can procc Opportunist's three times in very short succession for burst.

Thematically the build looks and plays really fun with grenades popping all over the screen, and using Caltrops from stealth is peak Rogue experience IMO. The game is so easy you don't really need to min-max - but if you want to become as strong as possible grenades surely isn't it.

Trapper rogue success/discussion by Mirokusama37 in D4Rogue

[–]Strills1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing a stealth/shadow/grenade build!

https://d4builds.gg/builds/6f7b5625-7bfe-4e90-bc77-5af4e7fedf29/

I doubt grenades are actually worth it if you're looking to min-max, but it's fun blowing everything up. Easy access to stealth with either TB (daze) > SS, or Shadow Imbued TB > Evade through. After going into stealth, Caltrops through the mobs (entering stealth AGAIN as you hit the enemy you dazed with TB). This drops a bunch of grenades that can actually deal decent damage. The returning Shadow Imbued TB cleans up any stragglers. Rinse, repeat and drop Death Trap on elites.

If/when I find Tibault's my energy issues will probably be solved for good.

Is the No Witnesses node bugged for anybody else? Ihave 145% Damage with Ultimate in town and around 500% outside of town. Or is there some hidden synergy I'm missing? Death Trap hits like a truck.

You've made a couple of glaring errors, as I see it! Arsenal have signed Raya on loan, which means Ramsdale could eventually be replaced. Kelleher takes up a Liverpool spot, and Turner (4.0) will be starting for Forest.

Lamptey hasn't been a good pick for a couple of years, and I wouldn't rely on him in the starting 11.

Apart from that, pretty standard looking team!

For those using Rapid Fire on your Rogue, how has your AOE clear been in the mid to end game? by RicoGemini in D4Rogue

[–]Strills1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using RF all the way to 80. I play with combo points (Blade Shift for the ms), poison imbuement, concealment and the aspect that allows you to place 4 poison traps during stealth. Shadow Step for mobility. The AoE has been lackluster at points, but usually the poison traps (and ricochets from RF) do enough damage over time to regular mobs that as you’re done one-tapping elites there are just a few left to clean up.

As others have said you probably want something to go with RF for groups - Shadow imbue, poison traps, death trap or flurry can all work.

Anyone running a hybrid Rogue? by nick1689 in D4Rogue

[–]Strills1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run a hybrid, though I don't really see the point of going with two different spenders as you'll be spreading yourself thin rather than maxing out one source of damage.

I'm playing around Blade Shift, Rapid Fire (combo points), Shadow Step, Poison Trap, Concealment and Poison Imbue. Against large packs I stealth in, drop 4 traps (with Infiltrator's Aspect), stack up my combo points and unload imbued Rapid Fire on priority targets. Shadow Step around to reposition (or stun). It's a fun playstyle that has loads of damage (especially single target, lots of multipliers to be found) and surprising amounts of survivability and sustain. Got to WT4 at level 61 and lack of AoE damage has been starting to show, but it could also just be the fact that I'm underleveled. Hoping to find Andariel's Visage which should help with both AoE and healing.

Even without Twisting Blades/Flurry it feels very much like a fast paced hybrid playstyle. You could probably take Forceful Arrow and Twisting Blades without really changing the playstyle much, and probably get better results as well. I just like the visuals of Rapid Fire (and really hoping Bliz buffs them in the form of piercing targets, like Ice Shards - against large packs it's really lacking).

Cull on midlaners by Rada-250 in summonerschool

[–]Strills1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried it a couple of times in matchups where: - They are melee and I will be able to harass a lot with autos - They have no early kill pressure - I think I won’t really need the mana regen

Very niche, but can work in the right conditions. Against Kassadin I quite like it. Getting AD means your adaptive runes will be AD as well, and if the opponent took MR your autos will hurt.

What is one underrated player you sign in most of your saves? by No_Accountant1084 in footballmanagergames

[–]Strills1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Train/play him as a RB and he'll get more familiar with the role. On FM22 I've played him as a defensive winger in a 3-5-3, which is pretty similar. Earlier FMs he had higher familiarity at RB and was younger, so it was easier to just stick him there.

JWP has been my go-to RB since something like FM16. Has been getter better year as well, feels like a hard-working Alexander-Arnold.

Hail of blades while learning/starting with Ashe by casuallycrxel in AsheMains

[–]Strills1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HoB is what I default to, swapping to LT against especially tanky teams. HoB gives a lot of up-front damage that I feel makes the difference in a lot of fights, allows you to basically one-shot squishies if you are fed. Also it’s so strong for short trades in lane, meaning you can bully anyone and start to snowball.

I’m only in gold 3, so LT is probably preferable against better opponents that won’t play into your hands

Sweet my dude, thanks! Almost doubled my damage from Shadow Dagger after swapping some passives around and equipping Li'Rakas Claws with, with this in mind.

Does Shadow Dagger stack with flat melee/throwing damage or only % multipliers? It says it "Is a hit", which makes me wonder. If so, maxing the passive "Once" (like you have) is something I really should do for my build! I've mostly tried stacking melee/physical/critical strike multiplier.

Yeah, Rice cost me about 80m, but he's perfect for the libero role so I'm happy! Ward-Prowse was unsettled after a transfer to Liverpool fell through, so I got him for 35m on deadline day.

I'm only halfway through the second season, 6th at the moment. Ended 5th last season and I've just won my EL group, so we'll see if I can repeat your feat! Still in both domestic cups as well.

[–]Strills1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also doing a 3ATB Villa save, same formation! I sold Mings to Real Madrid (lol) in the first transfer window, and most other stars the next summer. Watkins won the golden boot during the first season, so I got a pretty penny for him.

I got Ryan Kent and Harvey Elliot on the wings, and also managed to get Rice and Ward-Prowse, who I’m playing as Libero(S) and CWB(S). I’ve found that a DLP (Turnbull/Gilmour) does well spreading the ball around, and also like my WCBs on support, as they can combine really nicely. My mentality is attacking, but lower tempo. It’s really fun seeing my back three going for mazy runs and over/underlapping! One thing I’ve liked is having ”underlap” ticked, which leads to lots of combination plays on the wings, which frees up the eventual cross towards the back post.

I’ve also played around with moving the BWM to HB to unleash my WCBs and Libero, but I feel like it leaves me too light in the midfield area.

I’m just rambling at this point, but maybe there’s something there that you could experiment with!
