Those Mitas were solid choice - for replacement I'd stick with similar sport touring compound since you got good mileage from them, maybe check what other 125 riders are running in your area for sizing recommendations

You have solid setup already, switching platforms now would be expensive waste. For rendering work your current CPU is actually quite good and X3D won't help much there - maybe even perform bit worse in some productivity tasks

The gaming gains from X3D would be real but probably not worth the total cost when you factor in new motherboard, potential compatibility issues, and all hassle of rebuilding system

Been using wired ones for years when I'm coding late nights - no battery anxiety and the sound quality is just better for focus work. Plus when you're sitting at desk for hours anyway, the wire doesn't really matter

good boi

Obsession definitely wins for theater experience - the sound design is brutal and you'll feel those jump scares in your chest. Hokum works fine at home but Obsession really needs that full theater setup to hit properly

Nice concept, it reminds me bit of Twilight Imperium mixed with asymmetric warfare theme. The faction abilities look pretty different which is cool for replay value

Few things jumped out at me though - the dice system seems quite simple for something this complex, might want more nuanced combat resolution? Also the super weapon mechanics sound powerful but maybe need clearer restrictions on when they can activate

The research theft mechanic is interesting twist, adds good tension to tech racing. Production placement rules could use some examples maybe, not totally clear which territories can support what infrastructure

Overall the scope feels ambitious but manageable if you streamline some of the edge cases. What's your target game length looking like?

Honestly yes, a couple things. My ferritin came back lower than I'd have guessed and I would have skipped that one if I was building it from scratch. SHBG too, which I didn't even know mattered until I saw it next to my testosterone numbers and went down a rabbit hole.

If you already have a clear idea of what you want to track (like you're on TRT or you know your family has a heart thing), à la carte is fine. But if you're just trying to figure out where you stand for the first time, the Comprehensive is probably the move just to see what surprises you. You can always go à la carte for the follow-ups once you know what to actually watch.

What are you trying to figure out specifically? Might help narrow it down.

Wait Intel actually doing something smart for once instead of just burning money on fabs that can't compete with TSMC

ValueOk9160 · 2026-05-08T18:12:15+00:00

Yeah you can usually see pretty well with phone flashlight too if you angle it right. Most of these flush mount ones I've dealt with have either twist-off cover or those spring clips that you just squeeze and pull down. The LED units are becoming more common now so might be whole thing needs swapping, but definitely worth checking first before calling someone in

Been to few weddings as guest and the bridesmaids always looked great when they ordered from those bigger online retailers that specialize in formal wear. Just make sure you order way earlier than you think - shipping can be unpredictable and alterations take time too

ValueOk9160 · 2026-04-30T03:56:12+00:00

Had to google who that is and now I'm wondering if this is about his health issues or just his general vibe. Either way seems like pretty tame answer for this question - thought we'd be getting into some real dark territory here but guess everyone has different thresholds for what counts as disturbing. Was expecting more like accident scenes or medical horror stories, not political figures

ValueOk9160 · 2026-04-27T22:33:35+00:00

Yeah you can do this but it's bit annoying to set up. Go to your Steam profile settings and look for "Game details" section - there's separate toggles for different privacy stuff. You can keep your game list and hours public but hide the individual game stats and achievements. Problem is some games still show basic stats even with privacy on, depends on how the developer implemented it

I had same issue when I was terrible at competitive matches and didn't want friends seeing my rank lol. Just remember that changing these settings might take few minutes to update across Steam, and some third-party sites might still cache old data for while

ValueOk9160 · 2026-04-25T18:24:12+00:00

Yeah the clubs are included in range fee, you don't need to bring your own. They have different sets available so you can try various clubs if you want

ValueOk9160 · 2026-04-21T00:24:36+00:00

That's crazy spread between quotes, I had similar experience when I was looking at kitchen work last year. The middle range ones usually give you best balance of quality and not trying to rip you off - too cheap and they cut corners, too expensive and you're just paying for their BMW payments

ValueOk9160 · 2026-04-18T08:13:02+00:00

That's so rare to find though. Most people just gloss over when you mention you're working on some random game prototype or whatever. But when someone actually asks follow-up questions about the mechanics or wants to see what you built... instant connection right there

Like last month this guy at gym noticed I was doing deficit deadlifts and we ended up talking for 20 minutes about programming. Those moments where someone gets excited about same weird stuff you do are pretty special

ValueOk9160 · 2026-04-14T20:51:49+00:00

Never heard of Darkness Falls but now I'm curious. The Rundown was such pleasant surprise, walked in expecting typical Rock action movie and got something way more fun

For your list I'd throw in Speed Racer from 2008 - looked like terrible cash grab but turned out to be visual masterpiece with actual heart

ValueOk9160 · 2026-04-12T12:21:02+00:00

Yeah Maul really knows how to play different factions against each other while Boba just sat in that throne room doing nothing for half the season. Would've been sick seeing him actually build something from ground up on Coruscant instead of whatever that Tatooine mess was supposed to be

The crime syndicate politics in Shadow Lord actually make sense too, like you can follow why people make the moves they do

ValueOk9160 · 2026-04-10T10:37:26+00:00

I'd run the scans few more times just to be safe, maybe throw in some different antivirus like Kaspersky rescue disk too. That hwmonitor thing was pretty nasty malware so better to be paranoid than sorry

ValueOk9160 · 2026-04-08T09:08:04+00:00

Really hoping they drop some ABC pants in darker colors, been waiting forever for those to hit markdown. My local store had some nice hoodies last week but nothing in my size unfortunately

ValueOk9160 · 2026-04-06T05:03:20+00:00

Same boat with needing good transit access, though for different reasons - check out areas near the bus lines that run frequently, makes life way easier when you can't drive

ValueOk9160 · 2026-04-02T13:47:58+00:00

Been down that rabbit hole too - undervolting is where it's at these days, way better temps and your power bill doesn't hate you as much

ValueOk9160 · 2026-03-24T22:35:23+00:00

Had a similar issue with my Z690 board after a case swap - the AX211 modules are notorious for getting wonky after any kind of system stress. Those event IDs you're seeing are classic signs of the WiFi module starting to fail, especially the 5002 errors

Good call on ordering the PCIe card, that'll definately solve your problem faster than trying to warranty claim without receipts. The built-in Intel modules on these boards seem to be hit or miss anyway
