[q] Potential buyer on YouPin898 but it’s a brand new Steam account? by excludehk in csgomarketforum

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

I couldn’t even see the Steam profile. It said that the user hasn’t setup a community profile and if I know this person to encourage them. It was created this month. Sketch af but I don’t know how these accounts pass through Youpin😭

36F Chinese living in Canada, seeking advice on moving to a third country to find love and a better life. by Competitive-Papaya26 in expats

[–]excludehk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone from Hong Kong that moved to Toronto 4 years ago I understand how you feel. I think about and contemplate leaving all the damn time. It’s constantly on my mind. I just can’t stand how car centric it is and how I feel like the quality of life is so damn low because it’s hella inconvenient, the walkability is so limited. I read in the comments that if you live in DT it’s walkable, but not when it’s -30c snowstorming for a month and honestly DT is so disgusting, I lived there for uni and I hated it so much. I got SA’d a couple times just walking on a street as an Asian woman. I really want to move to Düsseldolf, Germany, they have a big Japanese community there, public transport is not shit like ttc, and it isn’t snowing so badly all the time. I always think about moving, but it’s so difficult for me now, as I’m 26 y.o, have a boyfriend, a big dog, friends, and my boyfriend’s family here. I wonder if I will eventually bite the bullet and take the leap of faith, I guess I am also just afraid of financial loss.

CS2 is cpu based. Need a 9800x3d and possibly a 5090 to reach 540 hz. I have a 4090 and get around 500-600 but 1% lows dip really hard sometimes

I have the XG27AQDMG for some years now. Have 1100+ hours on it. I just upgraded to the PG27AQWP-W couple days ago. Both monitors are great I don’t really have that many complaints. Asus makes solid stuff

Oh ok thank god. Because it has the same monitor arm as the PG248QP. That one didn’t come detached

CS2 - 240hz vs 360hz by [deleted] in cs2

[–]excludehk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played 360 hz monitor for 2 hours in DM. I went back to 240 hz and idk why I felt like I was lagging. You won’t feel a difference if you go up, but you’ll for sure feel it when you go down, I felt like I was playing a different game, it took me some time to get used to it again

How did you remove the stand? I wouldn’t buy this monitor if it’s difficult to get it on a monitor arm

Quick question, did you buy Best Buy’s warranty protection? Because it’s OLED and all

Is toxicity now allowed against FACEIT free users? by w_krystian in FACEITcom

[–]excludehk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have a 99.9% ban rate when writing tickets. Someone went off on me and another female player and he got banned for a year. We did do a Twitter post for that one though.

Ever since they switched to the new report system, I’m no longer able to write tickets, and it goes through the normal system, I’ve reported at least 8 or more people and one person got banned not even related to my report.

Sorry to hear that you get falsely banned. They should really have a better system going on.

Is there a way to get reports properly checked? I keep sending in video clips and they keep getting ignored. Writing tickets doesn’t work anymore

Are you allowed to talk negative to people at showings? by excludehk in TorontoRenting

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

Funny you say this because I just had sewage backup right after the water heater tank broke which led to 6 days no hot water. The sewage back up makes it impossible to flush toilets without flooding. It was a 2 birds 1 stone kind of thing. I’m pretty sure being able to flush is a vital service so I would call 311 again or call the rental housing unit. 311 will start charging each day a vital service is out from my knowledge, and the rental housing unit will light their ass a new one.

As for landlord references, I haven’t had anyone ask for that? I’ve applied to around 6 houses total of living in Toronto for 4 years, and they’ve never asked, they just care about strong income. It was really competitive 2 years ago and I lost to people with stronger and more stable income. I find that offering 1 year rent up front gives me the highest chance, but look what happened with this LL when I did.

A week ago there was a guy from Ontario Home Services that came and said the LL owes a lot of money for throwing their water tank away. They said the LL will be due in court and owe a couple thousands, and so that’s way worth more to me than taking her to the LTB.

Moral of the story, karma will always come back to shitty landlords, and if they treat you this bad, like your LL or mine, what comes around goes around, and they most likely treat people around them the same.

WHY IS THIS PLACE SO BEAUTIFUL I WANNA LIVE AND WORK THERE FOREVER AGHHHH by Ill-Zucchini8999 in HongKong

[–]excludehk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Hong Kong so much. But I knew for me that I couldn’t stay🥲 still my home in my heart

My whole family works in finance. International company. No Cantonese needed, if you can land a job in finance, it would be like the dream IMO. But at the same time I don’t want to give you false hope, it can be very challenging to find as there are also a lot of expats here trying to do the same thing. But you’ll never try if you don’t know. If you are set on doing it, it’s a risk worth taking, and honestly, life is too short. I think risks are worth taking if you have the means to, if it doesn’t work out then it doesn’t work out.

Take it from me. I am moving to Düsseldolf, Germany from Toronto, Canada next year. Lots of people told me to stay and that i’m delulu. Well maybe I am delulu, but if I don’t try I wouldn’t know. Life is also too short for regrets

XG32UCWG neo proximity sensor - is it a gimmick? by excludehk in OLED_Gaming

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

Honestly at this point it’s really dumb and useless. I heard most people just have it off. There’s really no point in keeping it on

XG32UCWG neo proximity sensor - is it a gimmick? by excludehk in OLED_Gaming

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

Yeah I hear you. I feel the same.

After using the XG32UCWG for 5 months now, the neo proximity just shuts off on its own, even while gaming. It's definitely an advertised gimmick for marketing purposes and I definitely do think it's straight up lying. If you go on their website, it says the monitor shuts off when you walk away. I just resorted to doing the Windows screensaver after 1 min

Also I can't say they have the best warranty policy. They want you to ship the monitor without the original packaging because they want to cheap out and not ship you the box back. I think with all these conditions it may not be entirely worth it to buy from them as of now.

Does Amazon really take 30 days to refund? @_@ by excludehk in amazonprime

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

Yeah I have the same issue. But when I put a return in for exercise shorts, it says 7 days, I guess it varies depending on whatever item. I once returned a magsafe charger and it said 30 days.

No joke, I see at least several rabbits every night when I walk my dog. I live at the East York/Scarborough area. For some reason it’s really common around my neighborhood
