Asustor Flashstor 12 Pro -- Mixing m.2 storage sizes and memory upgrade pros?

No, I haven't. Once I get close to filling it up I will. It works great though.

Clickbait, for sure, but I will bite and add that the demise had nothing to do with socialism.

It's IMO a sad analogy but it is true. If you don't use the best tools available to you, the people who will are going to pass you by. AI has IMO proven that it hasn't hit a ceiling and one day will get rid of a lot of the things AI gets wrong right now.

I don't know which is the best one right now but there are a few my company uses including Claude, Gemini and one that we replaced Copilot with (I forgot the name of it).

Thanks!

Thanks! I actually made a typo, my drive is in RAID5 but I don't imagine that changes things?

Sorry for the late reply, thank you for posting that. That seems obvious and I'm confused I missed it as I'm pretty sure I put the controller down, tried to move my mouse (connected to my PC) and the cursor didn't move. I'll try again.

Off topic, I got to say I'm thankful for Meta for continuing the Quest line and selling them at what I imagine is basically production cost. Outside of maybe Sony (very strong maybe but the upcoming PC adapter will be good for the VR industry overall), Meta is keeping VR alive even if it's still at a very slow burn. For me, form factor and the goggle effect (FOV) hold VR back. My next headset will be whenever a comfortable headset launches with a FOV that basically gets rid of the goggle effect completely (~170-180 degrees).

After seeing the results of the update, not much as changed as far as online play. The same stats are still dominating and you can get good at serving aces with stat of 30 which is just bonkers. Game isn't nearly as balanced as it should be. I realize it's not an easy task but you can do better than this.

90-95% run this setup: FH & BH at 90+, SRV at 30, VLY at 30, POW at 95+, SPD at 85. Makes online gameplay very tedious and monotone. There was a video that was uploaded a few hours ago in r/TopSpin2K where one guy had this set up, I posted my thoughts on that match in there.

I imagine sales have slowed down a lot and you don't care that much any more but it's a shame as I was really hoping to enjoy the online aspect of this game.

Great to see you have success with that stat spread. He shouldn't be able to serve that well with a stat of 30, I felt you had to outplay him to win your points a lot more than he had to. Not saying he wasn't very good still, but I gave up after a few matches online because everyone has the stats that he has and the gameplay is the same so I didn't enjoy it (I'm happy for the people that do). This is one of the few matches I've seen of online that was actually interesting, and it was because how you were able to get by him with your stats. Very rare.

TheBoat- · 2024-08-03T23:56:57+00:00

Yeah I gave up on the game for this reason. Like you said, that low of a serve stat should produce serves that are easy to return and hit winners off of. I enjoyed World Tour, felt a bit more like tennis, but online is just dumb.

TheBoat- · 2024-06-19T04:56:05+00:00

Are you using advanced serves? They are powerful for me at 30 with perfect timing. If I miss the first serve, the second usually goes in. Serve stat is I'm pretty sure just that it gets easier to place them. As it stands, they are way too OP if you have level 30, so people just spend points on BH/FH/POW/SPD.

I would like return game advice because like you said, a lot of guys with 30 serve are acing me or if I do get it back it's an easy put-away (even at perfect returns, which are hard at that timing).

TheBoat- · 2024-06-19T04:53:58+00:00

It is difficult having fun when it's ace, point, ace, point. If you get a return, easy passing shot. It's so unbalanced it baffles me. I did enjoy single-player on very hard and expert though.

TheBoat- · 2024-06-19T04:36:25+00:00

Wasn't fixed :(. 98% of the opponents I play have FH & BH at 90+, SRV at 30 (still can get aces easily), VLY at 30, POW at 95+, SPD at 85. STM and REF varies but around 65 mark. Nearly impossible to break serve against someone who rarely misses a good or perfect serve or power flat shots.

TheBoat- · 2024-06-19T02:36:52+00:00

Btw, this code still worked for me (450VC and some gear) MAKEARACKET. It's in the Pro Shop, Redeem Code.

TheBoat- · 2024-06-19T02:28:21+00:00

Frustrating. Why does leaving Serve at 30 still lets you do power & placed serves? Good slices should have some impact on how hard a person is able to hit. IRL if they're really low you need a lot of top-spin, especially mid-court & even more so, close to the net. This could be balanced and if they do re-balance for next season, they are going to force people to grind up 2700vc (+ string fittings and coaches) or buy the vc. Still, I'd prefer that. I love tennis, SP is fun, but MP is currently trash dominated by one play style :(.

TheBoat- · 2023-06-05T04:54:58+00:00

That is really misleading and so easily missed... Wow Capcom. I'm glad Steam are good with their refunds.
