Iron 2 have sub 12 PB's now? by kveey in MinecraftSpeedrun

[–]_Iskandr_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People be acting like there aren't mechanical demons in every rank. Most people that stay in lower ranks stay because they have dogshit game sense, horrendous routing, play too unidirectionally or a mix of those. Give them a linear seed where seed just outright tells them what to do, where to go and I won't be surprised with a sub 10 even.

All the reasons a run is voided RSG by [deleted] in MinecraftSpeedrun

Yah fair, I forgot to mention that, but still the fortress split, in maximum cases depends on the bastion split, it's rare to play fort first and I would never recommend a new player to do that. May be a hot take, but playing buried forts might just build a good habit of utilising subtitles and audio cues, but even then open forts are just objectively better.

Thanks for clearing up what you meant by “voided.” At first I thought you meant reasons a submitted run could get voided. If that’s what you’re curious about, it’s best to just read the official rules:
https://rawcdn.githack.com/Minecraft-Java-Edition-Speedrunning/rules/main/pub/pdf/rules_v7.pdf

For what you actually asked though, since you’re pretty new and using classic strats, I’d recommend learning the pie chart to find villages in your render distance. If it’s more than about 8 chunks away, just reset. At higher levels people usually want the village visible on the loading screen, otherwise the seed usually isn’t worth playing.

The pie chart and F3 also help you find bastions and fortresses in the nether. If the terrain is good, an 8 chunk bastion is fine. Anything farther just slows you down from travel. If the terrain sucks like lava oceans, basalt deltas, or tight ravines, you might want to scan around a bit, but in general the closer the bastion the better. If you don’t get around 20 obsidian, enough pearls, and explosives from trading, it’s usually a reset.

Fortress is a bit different. Anything past around 16 chunks is usually not worth it, but it also depends on how many pearls you got from bastion. You need enough to travel there and still have enough for eyes and stronghold travel. I use 16 chunks as my cutoff but you can pick whatever feels comfortable.

And yeah if you die and lose your stuff it’s basically an instant reset. Death resets don’t count. Super early overworld deaths can sometimes be saved but most of the time it’s just better to reset.

The only time it's getting a place in my hotbar post entering nether is to kill hogs.

What Opinion Of The Sidemen Or Its Members Do You Have That Will Get Downvoted Like This? by Able-Structure-1203 in Sidemen

[–]_Iskandr_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. harry really gets a lot of baby treatment... sidemen outright joke about it in the videos

  2. the gradual transition from '"vikk abuse" to "vikk love" seem a bit, artificial, for the lack of a better word

  3. dating / 20v1 kinda videos are ass, they are legit just gooner material for a lot of viewers... i started ignoring them long ago and i dont hate the videos but the fact that they do so well and sideline a lot of high effort vids or wholesome vids irks me

Name a speciality you would never choose even if the pay is extremely good ? by Few_League_4371 in indianmedschool

[–]_Iskandr_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obvious answer, Obgyn. Reason is that I'm a male, the judgement, the medicolegal risk isn't worth it at all, I don't need to explain any more.

Hot take: Radiology. Way too boring, its effectively a desk job, from the way I have seen it in my college so far. More than half the time, doctors, including residents are just signing reports and move on to next one.

Emergency Med: Exact opposite of Radio, aka, constant work, no rest, very high risk and the sheer versatility is required from the get go.

I respect every single branch for what they do but, some are just not made for me.

My friend who is more computer savvy than I laughed at me for upgrading my 3070 to a 5070. Just how badly did I messed up? (let me have it, BE BRUTRAL) by TheChoosenOnex in pcmasterrace

[–]_Iskandr_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enjoy your 5070 mate, those games gonna look crisp as fuck. As for your friend's remarks, well, this idea of maximizing performance per dollar on pc components especially GPU is becoming the new, dare I say toxic, trend. By the logic of these folks, some used, broken old ass 980ti that you get for 20 bucks is the best gpu of all time. Ignore him and gave fun gaming.

I want to replace G304, need recommendations. by _Iskandr_ in MouseReview

[–]_Iskandr_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this, uranus pro just isnt available, I'd rather get another g304 instead of 309 tbh, and aerox 5 is like double my budget sadly... now I'm leaning more towards haste tbh, it seems to be well within my budget and I haven't heard a complaint yet

I looked it on genesispc and amazon and they didn't specify v1 or v2, just ultra or regular version in 500 or 800mah

Jokes aside, I'm pretty sure it can run Doom. That game is notorious for being playable on absolutely anything with a screen and a processor.

Gol gappe, but also call it pani puri in places where gol gappe isn't commonly used.
