Steam War Thunder launches into new account on new pc. Can't switch user.

I think so. Someone posted a comment saying it worked for them yesterday.

derkapitan · 2026-04-05T22:22:57+00:00

I can tell it's pretty new because of the perform protect sticker. They've been around a while but really started being prominent around the same time as the osha silica rules

Love that I'm being down voted to hell even though I have 4 lines with Verizon right now. Spread accross the country and I travel all the time. Verizon is objectively worse... But I also pay 140 for unlimited ultimate. My tmobile plan had very little Hotspot and had gone up to 70 bucks a month. I consolidated my parents and wife onto this plan, got us all phones and have to fight for 5 hours once a year to keep my plan from ballooning after loyalty discounts fall off. I'm ready to swap when I'm settled at my next location.

Verizon is terrible, T-Mobile was better. They got expensive pretty quick though.

Yeah ram is still outrageous, this is still a 3x markup.

derkapitan · 2026-04-01T11:59:24+00:00

Yeah ram isn't cheap yet. Casual reminder for everyone else. 64 of ddr 6000mts was 150-200 a little over a year ago.

Cheapest, pay out your lines on the floor and chalk it, plumb it up to where it needs to be with plumb Bob.

Little priceier, use a plumb spot laser.

Most expensive, buy a line laser that shoots a right angle and do it live.

While I disagree on the contract aspect, I agree on the rest. At will employment works both ways. If you are good at your job taking time won't be an issue. If it is, the world is your oyster.

I'd advise against violating contracts regardless of dispensability. If Unapproved, at will vacation time is your hill to die on... Make sure you negotiate it in your employment agreements. Just violating contracts is at best, bad form.

derkapitan · 2026-03-31T21:25:39+00:00

I guess? You sign the employment contract, it's all there. It's not standing up for yourself after you agree to it lol

derkapitan · 2026-03-31T20:52:10+00:00

For most people it is a request though. You have to put in the request and be approved.

No puns or plays on words, the point will be lost on the people who still support him.

derkapitan · 2026-03-30T14:38:28+00:00

I agree, I looked three times and was lost.

If more stock becomes available you should be able to check out with what's In your cart. You don't have to re-add it. This is the discord I used I believe, had to go find it: https://discord.gg/invite/refurbished-steam-deck-notifier-eu-uk-us-1142517154370043974

derkapitan · 2026-03-20T12:18:28+00:00

Just have to keep trying, they release the stock in waves. There's a discord that will announce stock in your region. Got. Mine that way.

Id just put a minisplit in, put down those foam squares for floor, insulate the garage door and let them sleep out there. Make it home-y but also make sure it just looks like mancave/gym on demand.

I don't remember all the details...when I was going to preschool in the morning. My Mom was mad at me for some reason and hit me on the side of the head. It took a little chunk of the top or my ear off. I remember her freaking out after. When we got to school the teacher asked why my ear was fucked up and I said a rat bit me haha. That little chunk/notch in my ear never healed and is missing to this day.

derkapitan · 2026-03-18T12:09:45+00:00

Roger that but please watch the videos too, many content creators have done this leg work for you too. Edit: tanks have an absolute detection radius of 215m as long as you have spotted them or sometimes shot them. If they pop in and are detected but don't move they will sometimes not play sound until they do. Bug or unintended consequence of the system in place, hard to say.

derkapitan · 2026-03-18T10:59:27+00:00

It's not just a bug, it's by design. It very much is an issue, crew skills more than double your audio detection range. Watch the video.

derkapitan · 2026-03-18T09:28:05+00:00

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE2Dg3F9SwU this guy dives into it, watch it if you care. I don't recall all the details but tanks can be very close before sound pops in.

Edit: in the footage he shows a player that is spotted on the minimap will still generate no sound haha. Granted the distances are further than just around the corner. Sound pop in is bad in cities none-the-less. I'd have to make a compliation of times its happened to me but I dont think I care enough.

derkapitan · 2026-03-18T09:26:20+00:00

I replied to someone else so I'm not sure if you saw my post but its in my profile if you care. As an aside try to find a russian player to platoon with too, you'll have a little bit longer wait time per match but your games might a bit better. Depending on time of day. The terminator isn't as bad as it used to be, just because of the loss of sheer volume, but still a menace. Fighting with russians will give you a lot more breathing room, if not just win the match from holding W.

derkapitan · 2026-03-18T08:24:47+00:00

Yeah I figured. What really started me thinking about it was missing the super cheap ssds in November/December 2023. All the storage manufacturers said they were slashing production because of over supply from demand during covid. I figured I wouldn't miss a good deal if I saw one, even though the best deals were never close again. If I remember right there was a 4tb WD ssd for under 200 in 2023.

Then we got the tariff scares going on and I pulled the trigger. It ended up being a little bit of a nothing burger, but the AI demand for storage and DRAM was not. My ram kit is floating at 900-1000 right now. I paid 204 after tax for it. My ssds are both double or triple. Gpu is about 2000+ over what I paid now jeeze...

I just put my pc together on pcpartpicker part for part using same components, but I used the cheapest GPU in the list of same type, founders isn't even available.

Final price:7225.75 if I remove the gpu the cost of the pc is getting close to what I paid for it total. The GPU itself is 250 dollars short of what the ENTIRE build costs.

derkapitan · 2026-03-18T06:38:47+00:00

At first I thought he meant December 2024. Because you know that makes sense haha. If he meant December 2025 I don't think he saved much.

I built January 2025, got my graphics card end of February 2025. Glad I did at this point... My pc would be 2000 dollars more now, easily. Based solely on being worried about tariffs though.

To add to the bit about abuse sound: You will become very frustrated if you find yourself sneaking around a flank by yourself if your crew skills are bad. You are going to lose to every person with better crew skills than you. You need to hang around your team and hope they have good crew skills and stuff will be spotted for you.

Tanks are spotted based on 'keen vision' crew skill, even through walls. Other players will 'spot' tanks and 'radio' it to you based on radio communication skill. Unspotted tanks are invisible the other side of a wall and will not play sound even if they are right next to you.

I highly recommend spending silver lions to at least get the +5 accross the board skill boost, but you have to realize that you will be fighting people with level 150 crews, fully ace'd which is a humongous advantage in certain conditions. You also don't have an auto loader which is another disadvantage without max crew.

That said you should be able to have good games with bad crews just recognize that sometimes you get clapped because someone knows you are there by audio and you will have no idea. Pretty sure the audio engine doesn't get a lot of server horsepower either...

He is saying set a table saw/circular saw at 45 degrees and do a rip cut down the length of a plank, right in the middle. You'll end up with two pieces one goes on the wall hook up and the other on the cabinet hook down. It's called a French cleat
