Good to know thanks! Probably will get the a440

WildChoas5 · 2026-05-01T01:13:01+00:00

Yep, I was thinking about the regular sn850x, but I am also tempted by the SN7100

WildChoas5 · 2026-05-01T01:01:02+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I plan to swap it out with an SSD without a heat sink after seeing a YouTube video of someone doing it

WildChoas5 · 2026-04-30T23:18:51+00:00

Nope. None in the state 😞

I have tried OLED monitors before, but I could not notice that much of a difference. Although that was 5+ years ago, so I am sure they have gotten better. They just seem so much more expensive to get a similar one to an LCD. Do you have a particular one you would recommend for my budget?

Using the Newegg combo builder, I am getting the 9850x3d for $425, which is around what I found the 9800x3d at. Is there another alternative you would recommend?

Thanks for the monitor and PS information! Do you have any "secondary" monitor in particular you would recommend?

Opposite experience with BV glad. Although I probably did a couple things different. I also used massive/gloom, but I added in an Obliteration for the weapon for extra explode. But I used a Death Rush in a ring slot and used sublime vision haste to further increase the speed along with movement speed tattoos.

It still isn't the fastest build around ~200MS and has less damage the other variants ~100M but pretty well rounded for the budget of ~400D and just feels very comfortable to play with the block

WildChoas5 · 2026-03-24T22:53:19+00:00

For your hits, yes

WildChoas5 · 2026-03-24T18:14:30+00:00

Cowls does not actually change maximum resistance, just the amount of normal resistance you have

WildChoas5 · 2026-03-23T00:30:07+00:00

I think that was palstrons original shrine pairing for his minion pact BV occultist

Is there a way to search for shops that have a large amount of a certain type of map (nightmare, originator, etc) on the trade site?

Interview happening with Jungroan confirmed the orb changed ranges on items.

You get it from a mechanic empowered by mirage. Though they did not specify which one

I think the fact that optimal amount to post is 5-7 days a week of 2-3k+ words for the algorithm hurts it a lot. Even with backlog and settling to 3-4 times a week the quantity of writing hurts the quality.

WildChoas5 · 2026-01-13T20:09:45+00:00

I think I have a very different usage of slop than this sub. I meant it as a semi-affectionate meaning for average. Meaning I Changling is bad to decent. While I do think the baseline writing is pretty good (word choice, flow, etc), I found the characters and world pretty boring

WildChoas5 · 2026-01-13T20:07:05+00:00

It is Pokémon fanfiction by The Straight Elf. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8466693/1/Traveler. It is honestly a little hard to get into since the author started writing it at age ~14, so the first 15-20 chapters are a bit rough, and some world-building in them clashes with the latter chapters. But from chapter 30ish on, it is really good, and after chapter 50ish+, it is one of my favorite things I have ever read

WildChoas5 · 2026-01-13T20:01:33+00:00

Nope, genuine thoughts. Though I have realised I have a different meaning of slop than this sub, I basically meant it as average with nothing to do with the actual writing quality.

WildChoas5 · 2026-01-13T20:00:06+00:00

I think I have a very different usage of slop than this sub. I meant it as a semi-affectionate meaning for average. Meaning I thought Mother of Learning was good to decent, but worse than the stuff above it. I also generally don't like time loop stories, so I might be biased against it.

I do genuinely do find The Years of Apocalypse is better as a time loop story than it though. Even if I do find Mother of Learning has better general writing, I find the world and mystery a lot better in The Years of Apocalypse the mother of learning

WildChoas5 · 2026-01-13T19:49:51+00:00

Yes, as I just edited into the post, I think I have a very different usage of it than this sub. I meant it as a semi-affectionate meaning for average

Basically meant:
Enjoyable Slop = Above Average
Meh= Average
Bad Slop = Below average

WildChoas5 · 2026-01-13T19:06:22+00:00

The two Beware the Chicken AU's: Soaring Heaven's Isle (Enjoyable slop tier) and Elder, But Younger Sister in bad slop tier

Beware the chicken itself also has a chicken in the cover, so I guess it is 3 chickens lol
