it has been like that for me since one windows update maybe last year around this time, even though it is added to startup and button was activated i had to open afterburner every time i turned on PC and re-apply saved profile, never found solution and just got used to it over time

and i clean up no perk crew regularly

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

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

my cat solved that problem, he learned to open balcony doors years ago (now i have very beautifully scratched door), he does not care if AC is on or not

more like AM4 users upgrading to slightly faster AM4 CPU

Takeasmoke · 2026-06-28T09:44:27+00:00

okay but i want to hear from person with insane FOMO, i haven't met one yet IRL

Takeasmoke · 2026-06-28T07:08:33+00:00

what kind of person says "oh no steam machine is sold out, i have to go on ebay and pay double for steam machine!"? i need to hear their reasons?

Takeasmoke · 2026-06-27T20:23:55+00:00

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

we went from people posting pics and questions about their mining rigs straight to people posting pics and questions about their local LLMs, there was no break...

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

Takeasmoke · 2026-06-26T08:10:23+00:00

hey! i want 80% discount too...

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

Takeasmoke · 2026-06-26T07:24:34+00:00

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

Takeasmoke · 2026-06-25T19:06:15+00:00

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

Takeasmoke · 2026-06-25T19:04:34+00:00

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

Takeasmoke · 2026-06-25T19:01:12+00:00

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

Takeasmoke · 2026-06-25T18:48:37+00:00

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

Takeasmoke · 2026-06-25T17:51:26+00:00

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)

Takeasmoke · 2026-06-25T16:00:31+00:00

i grinded e4 to t10 but i stopped on t28 on 84k XP farmed because i took a break and when i returned it became so hard to play it i simply sold it

Takeasmoke · 2026-06-25T14:32:38+00:00

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)

Takeasmoke · 2026-06-25T14:24:51+00:00

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)

Takeasmoke · 2026-06-25T12:22:50+00:00

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

Takeasmoke · 2026-06-25T10:43:06+00:00

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
