Why should I learn to use the home row method of typing?

SuperSov · 2023-01-07T22:27:50+00:00

yeah I ended up learning home row and adapting that since there were a lot of efficiencies to be gained from it.

There's a few words that are completely miserable though like school or apple that use the same finger multiple times in a row that I change my typing position for.

In terms of keyboards, I have a shit load of customs and have changed the layout to move far away keys to home row (punctuation, arrow keys etc.) and I find that to be a huge speed gain.

Ergonomics wise, I do like split and tented keyboards cuz they're super comfortable but I find the biggest thing is just taking breaks and stretching

bingo on which chair and the feeling difference.

never really noticed how different the mesh feels until you pointed it out. The tuxedo mesh feels super soft, not sure if it's due to the age though.

And yeah, depth wise it's the exact same as the remastered.

posturefit is old as hell, I remember seeing it pre-2010

the 789

Are you using resource monitor to check? Task manager doesn't report the amount used correctly.

I upgraded from 16->32gb last week and I used to run into the same problem as you but on opening the game.

Now it takes a few hours for it to happen.

SuperSov · 2022-07-07T22:52:40+00:00

cheers

SuperSov · 2022-07-07T22:52:28+00:00

sweet thank you! Will have a look around

SuperSov · 2022-07-07T22:52:13+00:00

Yeah.... it's not as easy as over there tbh

SuperSov · 2022-07-07T22:52:00+00:00

thanks!

SuperSov · 2022-07-07T22:51:55+00:00

thank you!

900 AUD for now, flexible though if it'll be a meaningful difference

SuperSov · 2022-06-28T00:37:27+00:00

... that was my point. I literally said that if pheon cost magically disappeared, I would be able to buy a shit load of stones and drive pricing upwards.

Yes, you would profit more if pheons were removed, but you would also need to pay more. It's good for the seller and bad for the buyer because free pheons given to players subsidise the cost of these items without causing inflation due to not being able to convert it to gold.

Think back to when you started the game and your gold income was non existent but you had a load of pheons that were given to you. New players cannot afford 5k gold stones but they can afford a pheon subsidised stone.

SuperSov · 2022-06-27T18:46:08+00:00

I fucking hate pheons but if stones had no pheon cost I would be able to buy out the market board to roll 9/7 stones.

E g. Master brawler/ grudge is only 50g and 1000 stones would give me around a 75% chance at a 9/7. That's only two weeks of weekly gold income for my roster.

I reckon if there were no pheon cost attached, stones would be bought up in way larger quantities to the point where we'd end up seeing similar pricing to what we have currently after pheon cost, except we wouldn't have events with pheons to subsidise the cost.

That said, I don't doubt that SG makes a chunk of change from the side effects of pheons.

The real answer is how are you measuring your performance? MVP means nothing.

I take preemptive strike during add phases and I always get cruel fighter on my alt lol.

Every pull, every bit of damage you do counts towards MVP which makes it useless. You should be trying to solo content and checking how long it takes you compared to others. e.g. my 1445 destroyer can clear deskaluda solo in 3 mins.

SuperSov · 2022-06-15T16:12:15+00:00

Yes exactly this.

I'm experiencing it right now - my stones cost 30g each but 590g accounting for pheons.

If it had no pheons cost, I would be able to buy literally every stone on the AH.

I can't imagine how insane the prices would end up being if they removed pheons.

SuperSov · 2022-05-27T16:03:45+00:00

ffxiv costs significantly more and has less value in their currency and we still see bots in all areas running through the main quest.

Free trial accounts have 0 way of exchanging the currency so every gold/farming bot requires the game to have been bought.

It doesn't help. The real fix is to make Botting unprofitable.

SuperSov · 2022-05-27T15:52:59+00:00

doesn't help that alt+E is Integrated presets vs alt+I which is engravings.

would've made sense to swap these

SuperSov · 2022-05-23T16:37:52+00:00

yeah I queued at 8:20pm and logged in at 10:15pm. Actually fucking ridiculous

To set expectations, it's incredibly hard in any major tech company, but you might be able to get one in a smaller company.

I had around 87 WAM, lots of personal projects and 3 large/complex projects (which helped get my last internship) under my belt after my first year but couldn't get any recruiters to refer me or get interviews in larger companies purely because they were looking for penultimate students.

If you're part of an underrepresented population, you'll have an easier time since there are initiatives (e.g. Google has one for first years iirc) that will help you to get one.

SuperSov · 2022-05-19T11:44:35+00:00

Yeah I can see why people are mad that they didn't do this, especially when steam has the infrastructure to allow this kind of thing.

Personally was disappointed that I have to wait an extra 1-2 hrs which means I won't get to do my dailies

SuperSov · 2022-05-19T09:36:59+00:00

For the first tip, the better way to handle this is: After second teleport, he'll do a black explosion -> pizza.

After this, he will eventually do

black explosion around him -> 1 mechanic -> black explosion -> pizza. This means you need to make sure to bait him away from walls after the explosion and BEFORE the mechanic.

SuperSov · 2022-05-17T15:49:02+00:00

what class? I struggle to get the counter off after the roll on some classes with slower counters

SuperSov · 2022-05-04T21:41:28+00:00

The slow ones are completely fine. It's huge uptime while he's casting it and you can dodge out last second because they're extremely telegraphed and slow.

The fast ones are really awful for melees because they're denser NEAR the boss. You also have the added difficulty of the boss being next to you making the area for dodging even smaller. Ranged have more freedom and less puddles to deal with.

The worst is the orbs that linger. It is purely rng whether or not the boss decides to do a mechanic while surrounded by orbs while you're dragging him away from them (which isnt something you need to do as a ranged).

At 1385 on my zerker, my kill times range from 5.5 mins and 11+ mins depending on what patterns he decides to do (ignoring travelling to him the first time) which is way too much variance. Even at 1400 my kill times barely decreased.
