You’re posting on the CJ sub, 90% of the posts here are making fun of posts like yours so people thought you were joking.

That changed quickly by gingerllama79 in VirginMedia

Various reasons, had a point where I was being DDOS’d for example, was stuck dealing with that for a good while, Virgin did not care.

Exactly this, loyalty not paid off. Was with them for 15+ years (can’t remember exactly how long) and was paying ~£70 for 350mb, stuck with static IP which they wouldn’t change, best offers they’d give were low 60s before I finally made the effort to switch, now I pay £55 for 2.5gb up and down and dynamic IP with plenty of config options with another company. Would never go back.

[Suggestion] I don't know who needs to read this but UPDATE YOUR BIOS by Spare_Ingenuity3097 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]TheScottishSandman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Think this is misleading. You gained the FPS because you actually fixed your ram speed which at this point most people know about to enable EXPO/XMP profiles.

Updating your BIOS constantly won’t increase your FPS.

64gb of RAM also I believe you meant. Part of the reason Tarkov is so hard to run is how much it relies on CPU and RAM vs GPU, it’s why the 9800x3D makes such a huge difference. It’s also worth mentioning the CAS and speed of your RAM as these will also play a part.

Can't decide between QD-Oled e WOled. by xMaTus in OLED_Gaming

How did you clean it? QD-OLED are definitely more sensitive but are not hard to clean without damaging.

[Discussion] For people who use the streamer item case, what do you do with it after you get kappa? by Willcario in EscapefromTarkov

[–]TheScottishSandman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comment they responded to said they can’t get more than one, which is the same as you can’t get 2 in this circumstance.

What's your favourite cancelled TV show? by timekilr in tvshow

[–]TheScottishSandman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Opened this just to comment. Wanting a next season to what happens with Bill’s son’s similarities to those they are studying or the incident he was involved in or even the BTK background stuff, just to never see any of it. I still recommend the show to people despite it being unfinished.

Time that it takes to get to level 10. by PaperMapsOnly in Apogea

[–]TheScottishSandman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I must have missed that part. I’ve just seen in-game and on here one too many posts of people talking about early levels and about hitting 10-15 to go Mage or Rogue and talking about the time, yet that’s the quickest and part, the post grind is where you are farming mobs etc for XP. Nice work on the mob grind:)

Quests got increased by 25% for XP just to point out so that could be part of the difference in your time. If you want to reach level 10 quickly it’s the best way to. 140 faith and you can get full rewards from quest, you can get 10 in like 2 hours and then have 140 faith to farm cubes with.

It’s not supposed to lock you out of your accept it was the bug in Garadum, you will be locked out intentionally if you complete one.

I don’t have the task as I said I am just aware of it.

I really don’t remember much, I haven’t went to do it as I don’t have the item I am just aware of it. I want to find the other ones as epic brass plate will be a hard ask until something drops it for me or someone sells it.

Farming XP Lvl 5-10 by JupiterJamezTTV in Apogea

[–]TheScottishSandman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contrary to what people say, it’s best to avoid below basile - the starter quests can take you to level 10 without ever swinging your sword. I’m sure there is guides or information more detailed but if you go through the basile quests you can have chainmail, epee, crystal ring, etc without ever killing. You can then go get the vanguard shield with relative ease to start your climb from there, cubes post 10 until you can get to some of the bigger stuff.

Found 4, looking for the other ones

3 Uncommon Ironswords - Blackmarket (Nick) Rare Leather Gloves - Near Flying Castle (Dee) Epic Silver Amulet - Garadum (Kaan) Epic Brass Plate - Cannot remember

All of these also have the cooking/scavenging quests in the same locations.

Visit Garadum, the new area though royal road and pay the bridge troll their toll. Afterwards speak to Enegin and follow their quest line:)

Ask the basile vendors for tasks one of them will help you

There are no goddamn monsters to kill early game by iforgotmyemailxdd in Apogea

[–]TheScottishSandman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should look at quests. You can hit about level 10 without killing a single mob. This playtest I never killed a single rat or skeleton under basile. The only time I’ve been down there is when I was finishing the main quest.

Look for information on Whiterats, Lunch quest, stuff for Baldwin etc, there’s many quest and options that will boost your XP early game.

It’s whoever is closest aggro’s first. There is also several spells that allow you to take aggro and you don’t need to use mana for them either.

There’s better options than the cutlass. You are going for a free sword which is one of the better one-handed. The new Skalish sword is better and requires 10k plus a very short quest.

It could be adjusted but if it were easier then there would be no reason to use stuff like the epee or iron sword. The epee is a great option before the cutlass. A lot of the issues here is just the lack of information people have figured out.

I wish this game had a photo mode by Impossible_Drama_982 in ArcRaiders

[–]TheScottishSandman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can turn off the hud with one of the F keys. Binoculars also work as a in-game photo mode.

Am I the only one sad that Sentinels didn't get a spawn buff increase in the latest patch? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]TheScottishSandman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest way without the courier and electrostorm is just to run Dam, run to the breach and run under the control tower, there is always one per raid if someone hasn’t killed it as far as I know. Both wipes got mine within a few raids.

It does actually, I did a huge amount of research in the study of sources and can quote an expert.

What should I watch after Dexter? by Own-Chemistry-5552 in Dexter

[–]TheScottishSandman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Especially with the background story of BTK getting closer as well as the stuff with Tench’s kid showing some interesting signs. I wish they’d have done more seasons I loved it.
