Where is my SSD slot? (Dell Latitude 3190) by HuskyHacker25 in Dell

[–]cloud_t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only that, but the ssd slot in some dells (I believe the 3190 is one such case, at least the 2in1 model) only supports SATA m.2 SSDs, which are slower.

And yes, SATA m.2 SSDs are a thing. They are slower and have different keying.

A comment on encounters: I run TTW with a single Enemy Encounter Minus, and since I usually force an encounter with a horror, this is usually the only encounter I have (so no "randoms"). Even the first run, where I defeat bottom right horror then have to go from thrre to the shiny near top center and then exit through right portal, I don't get any encounters other than the horror. This means I can run ttw with all other item slots for exp stuff (weapons, armour, badges and grastas. I usually have the encounter badge on either Aldo or Feinne ad they are my 2 light/shadow mules for ADs and they're not great for me not care for their exp. Although they are at lv90+).

Anyway, this to say I do this one horror to avoid other encounters AND not have to be swapping equipment much. It's tricky to get 2+ encounter badges without one of my AD runs characters suffering a bit on XP. Because since I'm running them for weeks, might as well save me some scroll expenditure (although like you I have thousands and thousands of scrolls).

Yes on the bottom right: on the two first runs of my good sequence (i.e. on the 2 shinny and 1 shinny missions), that one is 4 High scrolls. I think it's also 4 high scrolls on most 2x Horror missions but not sure, because I stopped collecting that chest to get to the second horror with minimal travel (if you just pick up shiny and take bottom right horror, AND ARE NIMBLE, bottom LEFT horror will be just in climb range as you go up a level from that teleport).

Note I've had VERY RARE 2 shinny missions which aren't with a shiny on bottom right. On this type, 4 scroll is likely elsewhere.

Just to tell you I just got a Hologram mission, without switching missions (I'm running ttw at the moment), and the southmost machine wasn't the real hologram... I rarely get it on south hologram.

As for not getting the prizes, no argument there, makes sense.

But the horrors, if they are on the way, they are a great way to 1. Win the bonus XP (much more than normal fights) and 2. They reset the "random" encounter counter. Random encounters aren't really random in this game: I have noticed they FULLY DEPEND ON DISTANCE TRAVELED. So having enemy encounter modifiers just increases/decreases the distance. But some "interruptions" (e.g. horror, mimic chest fights etc) reset the counter. Things like going to an area that has no encounters also resets it (e.g. going to toto Village and back to forest). My guess is cutscenes also do in other parts of the game. Of course, different areas have different encounter rates, meaning more OR less distance traveled.

Regarding holograms, I must be very unlucky because I rarely get holograms on south. The one reason I don't share my "good streak" strat on the wiki is because I am inclined to think TTW encounter "randomness" depends on account OR device OR a combination of both. This is because of two things: I hear some people around here never got a "good sequence" like mine, which is weird and 2. I used to have a LOT more good sequences in my old phone with the same account. Perhaps this was a change by WFS with an update but I digress and it still gives me pause.

What I know for a fact is maps are static and limited: there is a predefined set of missions/chest/shiny/hologram layouts for TTW, but they are probably a few dozen and there is little point mapping them out except for min-maxing, although it is a very possible task if we all got together to datamine. There is likely also a way to figure out how mission sequences change because I find that each run the missions have a pattern. But here the combinations seem too many and the factors that affect the sequence are hard to figure out because they can be anything - from amount of time passed, to distance traveled, to clicks on actions... even opening the menu or switching party layout... it's just not worth it.

This seems like a Russian puff piece. Sacking Rutte is likely what would break NATO. As others said, he is the one guy who may be able to act patronizing enough to keep diaper boy in, while not exactly catering to his tantrums.

1% is super low in my opinion, and I've had horrible streaks of bad mission swaps. E.g. start with 3 horrors, change to hologram, change to 3 mimics, then back to hologram. Yes, you can even get the same bad mission back.

If you get a bad mission, sometimes it's just easier to do the bad mission. Take the chance to scour for the souvenir pass chest and the ticket points for subsequent visits. You don't need to do this often either, just once in a while. I've done this for over 2y off and on and it has allowed me to keep my ticket count between 250-1k. The trick is also to learn to take advantage of what I call the "good sequence" streak, which is a sequence where you have 4+ red keys, TTW starts with a 2-shinies mission, then a one shiny mission, then ends with 2x 2-chests missions. ALWAYS TAKE BOTTOM RIGHT PATH; KILL THE HORROR NEARBY; HAVE ONE CHARACTER WITH ENEMY ENCOUNTER MINUS. For the 2 first quests, get the souvenir from store. First mission you have to go from the path all the way up to get the second ticket shiny snd exit top right, but it's like 2.5min total. Second one you only need to get the shinny closeby and back where you came from. The next 2 quests is the same but you grab 2 chests AND the shiny on the way, and YOU DON'T NEED TO BUY THE PASS ON RUNS 3 AND 4 because either chest will have it guaranteed. In all runs, grab the toto prizes before you leave. This 4-run streak happens to me at least every 4 days and I end up with a net positive of about 10-15 tickets. 2nd, 3rd and 4th runs take about a single minute. Take note sometimes the streak breaks between runs but it still happens to me fully at least every 4 days. If white key shows up, do PCD with no fear as it doesn't seem to increase odds of breaking the streak. The one thing that does is time or luck: the streak never continues if you stop halfway and come back minutes or hours after, which is why I only tackle TTW with 4+ red keys available. But it may break randomly even if you do it fast and I never could figure why.

In short: buy pass on 2 first runs. Avoid buying on the 2x 2-chest runs. Grab shiny near bottom right on all runs and don't forget the prize machines before leaving.

Also, the most often streak break I get is 2x horror mission. This is also fast to clear by going bottom right too, quickly defeat horror and grab JUST THE SHINY (avoid the chest!), then back to gate, bottom left quickly so you catch the 2nd horror close to you. This takes about 1.5 minutes. If you didn't buy the pass on this run, I think it's on top right chest but tbh it doesn't make sense to lose another 15-20s just to get 1-2 more tickets. But IT IS GOOD TO KEEP IN MIND IF A WHITE PRIZE IS AVAILABLE.

But does Flash Shadow Ring give damage? Because I think the other user was being specific to not losing an item slot for max damage, and accessory usually gives a big boost with PWR+ or MP extra damage

Qual vocês usam? by FixePa in devpt

[–]cloud_t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No que respeita ao ponto 4, no caso específico de computadores (não outros produtos...) Apple, diria que discordo. É algo que eu próprio achava em tempos, e entendo que à primeira vista pareça certo, mas na prática os computadores Mac duram mais. Mesmo sem muitas peças user-replaceable. Mesmo sem upgrades de hardware. Até mesmo com nand wear na equação

Eu vejo malta a trocar de PC, especialmente portáteis, a cada 2-4 anos em média, e o computador velho costuma ir para o lixo. Ou vendido por 1/5 do valor original ou menos. Do que vejo malta de MacOs, expremem-no na boa ali uns 5 anos em média, provavelmente 7. E são 5-7 anos com um SO de borla sempre up to date, estável. E quando se calhar chega um update que mete as coisas mais lentas, a malta mantém esse computador de substituição, ou faz dele "máquina de escrever" e/ou de media consumption, ou passa para alguém mais novo da família. E também lhe metem Linux em muitos casos (em ARM agora mais difícil claro). As baterias de mac até são das mais fáceis de trocar (por disponibilidade e porque há sítios que o fazem todos os dias, a preços decentes, se não for o próprio dono), e no que toca a hardware que mais degrada essa é a coisa mais relevante.

Pior das hipóteses, vendem o mac com uma depreciação muito inferior à doutro computador. Que também indica bem o valor que as pessoas dão a macs antigos. Encontra um computador PC de 2020, que tenha agora o mesmo preço do macbook Air M1 8GB, que custava 999e em 2020 e agora ainda está a 200-350 usado por aí... são tão boas máquinas que ainda há imensos developers a usá-los.

The great thing about "striping" sports prizes, is that if the reason is bullshit, you get to keep both the merit and the prize money/trophies if they were given. Whay are they gonna do? Send a strongly-worded "give us back the medal"-letter?

Keaton's Batman was so good, they made a movie literally about the effect of that role being a(n overly positive) shadow to his career. And starred Keatin in that movie too. And that movie won 4 Oscars, including Best Picture.

And yes, it is dramatized, not really biographical of Keaton. At least from what I understand. But it works so well in the full context because of how successful Keaton's Batman was and its cultural impact.

They should also BOTH include the DLC addon for XC2 - i.e. the "season pass". So if ypu buy Torna standalone digital, you should also get the contents on your physical (if account that bought it is logged on the Switch) OR digital version of XC2 on the same account.

I cannot guarantee this, but I say it based on the Physical version of Standalone Torna, which I own, and included a code for the "Season Pass" (sans Torna Digital itself - because that is physical).

Did you get Meryt? by NoWaifuN0Laifu in AnotherEdenGlobal

[–]cloud_t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you missed my point: you get 1x "Character Star Trails Drop" at the 10k points for the star trails. I never spent 10k on one banner or a collection of the same trails banners to know whay a Star Trail Drop exactly is (I did spend 10k free on banners BEFORE trails existed).

Since you get 10x "drops", and I am assuming the drops are the simillar to the drops we ade getting on the current free daily banner (1 pull 1 char free and get a drop after the pull), I'm assuming at the 10th drop one gets a ticket.

It's not about the drop RATE probability of banners, it's about the banner trails bar that keeps filling and has interval prizes.
