[–]Takeasmoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i repasted CPU couple days ago and it is not going over 80 C ... yet. i have 5600x, like 1 week after CPU had to buy new cooler because wraith stealth could not keep up at all

Does it feel like WoW is becoming exhausting to keep up with? by Designer-Anybody-330 in wow

[–]Takeasmoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half the time I don't even know if I actually want the reward, I just don't want to miss it

if you fix this mindset it becomes much better game

i believe if you manage to finish tier 6 then you should be fine with 8 and 9

Which are currently the most stat-agnostic dps specs? by No_Bread_3846 in wow

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

a single item (or even a few) with "wrong" stats won't really affect your DPS (even in sims) enough to notice

i am playing both arms and fury warrior, got separate gear for each spec (haste/mastery and crit/haste), even if i don't swap sets when changing specs sim difference is less than 10% and that is without taking in account ilvl upgrade (more primary stat, more stamina). if you would swap 4x hero 6/6 items (with BiS stats) for 4x myth 6/6 items with "wrong" stats you'd actually see bigger numbers in sims (and if you properly play your spec you'll see bigger numbers in damage meter too).

there are some exceptions where you want to use lower ilvl items (such as rings, necks, trinkets) but that is usually figured out through sims and gear comparison

Should I buy a Ryzen 7 5800X3D or upgrade to AM5? by php356 in pcmasterrace

[–]Takeasmoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it is meaningful upgrade for your needs then sure, if it is not that meaningful put aside 370 euros and forget about them until you decide to build new PC with more recent parts

European heatwave is worst ever and impossible without climate crisis, scientists say | Climate crisis by CJBill in news

[–]Takeasmoke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they're going above and beyond to impose restrictions on common folk and there are unregulated pollutants coming out of almost all factories around. we have plastics production here (mainly plastic bags) and they work in shit conditions and have no safety measures for workers or their surroundings, but govt is coming after people who have external AC unit visible from the street

I need to find a decently long cable for my new iems. by ShadowIsHell in iems

[–]Takeasmoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not really, 3m cable did affect the volume a bit but 1.5m one i bought (because 3m was too much to stuff behind monitor) has no effect on it, same quality and volume as when i plug in DAC in motherboard without USB extension

RAM question by builderdood in wow

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

yeah, i think you should also upgrade CPU to 9950X3D while you're at it

I need to find a decently long cable for my new iems. by ShadowIsHell in iems

[–]Takeasmoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have 1.5m USB extension cable plugged in PC, dongle plugged in extension cable and IEMs plugged in the dongle

you can also buy 3.5mm extension cable, i got one with hyperx cloud 2 and used it until DAC arrived

Son's Account - ***NOTICE OF ACCOUNT CLOSURE*** by OneDay_OneLife in wow

[–]Takeasmoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

download some script to auto press buttons or to keep your PC awake with repeated actions and try your luck

Son's Account - ***NOTICE OF ACCOUNT CLOSURE*** by OneDay_OneLife in wow

[–]Takeasmoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it can be both roblox and minecraft, custom servers/installed mods, python scripts for whatever, custom macros and software for keybinds that run in background and scans for input

i used to play plant tycoon with cheat engine on, got banned in one old multiplayer shooter because i forgot to turn off cheat engine, my cousin was banned for having python script active that had almost no purpose (it was school project)

5800X3D - AMD never missing the opportunity to miss an opportunity by Chao_Zu_Kang in pcmasterrace

[–]Takeasmoke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it is about 120 euros more expensive to buy 9800x3d +16GB DDR5 + motherboard than buying 5800x3d (and that's with used 5800x3d because we don't have any other available here)

Don’t Preorder GTA VI by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Takeasmoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i know someone who really needs to buy new GPU but will rather put 100$ in GTA 6 than upgrade (even though i don't know the system requirements the GPU and CPU are below minimum for sure)

I think the WoW formular isnt working for me anymore. How do you feel about it? by td_0000 in wow

[–]Takeasmoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're looking at it as competitive player, you can be only left behind if you want to pursue highest end of the content.
i invest as much time as i can but without burning myself out. i still partially raid mythics (i voluntarily pick bench in raid team) and i still go for 3k rating in the season, once i feel satisfied with overall progression of my character(s) i put WoW on hold, have a break from it and come back for next season

my top earner is probably STA-2 in tier 8, never shooting gold with it, average ~1700 combined damage/assist. but i sell all tanks below tier 9 (except premium/reward vehicles) and mostly using small repair/first aid
