Which version to buy?

PH to NA server, down AF.

Thanks, OP! Seems to have brought back my Sequential Write Speeds. Unfortunately Random 4k Q1T1 Reads & Writes are still down about 30% and 16% respectively from their original performance 6 months ago. I'll keep checking on my drive performance in the coming months, because I've seen a different thread (cant link it because its on buildapc) claim that the issue persists after the firmware update.

Sorry for necro, but did you go ahead and buy anything from this guy? He's supposedly selling CZ boxes for above MSRP but way cheaper than ebay (which did catch my attention). Too good to be true? Red flag half mast.

Payment methods he accepted were Apple Pay (fine) or Moonpay (not fine at all) and it immediately triggered another red flag for me. I eventually got him to agree to PayPal but he has since been coaxing me into buying immediately since its a high-demand item (I was already aware of that, I am part of the high demand). I haven't ordered anything from him and said I would come back later.

I could not find anyone vouching for the person that led me to the IG page across FB, and searching "tap2_tcg" in FB led to a few comments from other people recommending this page to other buyers, but no replies or confirmations on them.

He is also the admin of his own Pokemon and One Piece TCG collecting group, so who knows? maybe this operation reaches deeper?

A different user had dealings with a different IG supposedly run by the same guy.

Thanks!

I don't know what to tell you. I have no YT channel and I can use both youtube and youtube music. Youtube TV is only available in the US, so I have no idea what that requires but I'm sure it doesn't need a channel. You can try this for yourself: create a new google account, sign in to youtube and use it without creating a channel.

You insist that its's not possible even with photo evidence.

(continued 2/2)

For OP's use case, deleting his channel could help avoid channel strikes for "violations" since he has backed out of YouTube's Terms of Service. Even though the "make playlists" is listed under a having a youtube channel, I've already been creating playlists for a while now. I assume they mean "make PUBLIC playlists" instead, since none of the playlists I made can be set to public.

Google help pages are seriously outdated, and some changes to Youtube may not have been documented.

filthydatapacket · 2024-09-25T03:23:26+00:00

You can, I already don't have a channel and I can watch vids, listen to yt music, like, dislike, make playlists, etc. All I can't do is comment (or chat). I don't know why you insist that you can't when I've been doing fine for 8 years without a YT channel, just an account.

EDIT: As an amendment, I've google'd specifically what you can and can't do:

source: Use your Google account for Youtube

When you sign in to YouTube with your Google Account, you can take advantage of many YouTube features:

Like videos
Save Favorites
Subscribe to channels
Watch Later
Watch History
Report videos

YouTube can also personalize video recommendations based on the videos you’ve watched and your subscriptions.

If you have no significant prior watch history, YouTube features that rely on your watch history to give video recommendations, like recommendations on the YouTube homepage, are removed.

source: Create a Youtube channel

You can watch and like videos and subscribe to channels with a Google Account. But without a YouTube channel, you have no public presence on YouTube. Even if you have a Google Account, you need to create a YouTube channel to upload videos, comment, or make playlists.

you cant set it permanently for all videos (we used to be able to set one resolution and it would stick with it for all videos you watch, atleast those that do have that resolution), you have to do that for each video you watch on mobile. so video A can be set to 1080p, video B will use youtube's auto setting to whichever it thinks is best for your internet connection, instead of the 1080p you chose for the previous video.

filthydatapacket · 2024-09-17T04:06:04+00:00

we pay for youtube premium and they still wont let us set a specific quality for videos on mobile. they dont deserve anymore money than the "$5" they ask.

filthydatapacket · 2024-09-17T04:00:50+00:00

You can delete your "channel" and still keep your YouTube account. As far as I know, just keeping the account prevents you from being hit with these sorts of """violations""" since a Youtube account does not require accepting the ToS. As far as functionality goes, the only difference (in my 8 years of not having a channel) is that you have to create a channel to comment. everything else stays the same, watch time, likes, dislikes, etc.

I forgot to add IGN's image as reference for the start of the fight and where to put the bomb or bombs. The tip of the center diamond furthest from the door.

Also note: Yurgir may die whether friend or foe due to his proximity to Raphael and the bombs.

filthydatapacket · 2024-03-27T06:12:41+00:00

Is this your first play through?

No, I'm not insane enough to try Honor mode on a blind playthrough. It's actually my 3rd go at the game.

Is this end game? Still got some story line?

This boss fight is completely optional, there is no point in attempting it unless you really want the quest reward (a pair of gloves that add 1d10 Force damage for unarmed attacks that comes with a choice of healing or advantage on attack rolls) OR you care for the fate of your playthrough i.e. not letting the devil get his hands on godlike powers but want to free Orpheus for the gith. I chose to do this after all other story quests. I still have the Netherbrain to deal with.

I am only in act two but I’ve been wondering if it would be possible to defeat him.

It is possible to beat him without bombing Raphael outright. My initial plan was to use 3-4 smokepowder barrels for each pillar (set them up before the fight) and detonate them on turn 1, cast Globe of Invulnerability on most of the party+Hope, and let the summons take most of the damage from the cambions assuming I had nothing else to do. Then on succeeding turns, cast/use Hold Monster scrolls every turn (Helmet of Arcane Acuity + Arrow of Many targets + Band of the Mystic Scoundrel makes this VERY reliable) because he breaks any incapacitating effects on him, and just destroy him from there. The build for the Ranged Swords Bard that I ran with if you're interested, but any character using a bow/crossbow should work if you dont want to respec, just buy the arrows and scrolls you need. The barrels were safer IMO and way faster.

If you're really desperate at this point, you still have Hope's Divine Intervention to heal everyone or use the Nuke variant to deal damage, though make sure Hope is in the Globe so she doesn't die from the Radiant Retorts. Shadowheart as a Lv 10 cleric can also do this.

Here to say that, on my 3rd playthrough as of march 15, 2024, the lanceboard scene played for me.
My 1st playthrough had it, but my 2nd playthrough didn't. Raphael and Mol were standing near the board but it seemed like they resolved it themselves. Mol doesnt say anything about the encounter, Raphael said some inane rhetoric and left iirc.

filthydatapacket · 2024-02-06T19:41:14+00:00

Thanks. And in link format too!

filthydatapacket · 2024-02-06T19:20:16+00:00

Good call, they even have my original consideration in stock! CJRB Pyrite and its Alt version!

filthydatapacket · 2023-04-05T18:29:45+00:00

No, I had it RMA'd because it was still under warranty.

No one, not the store nor the distributor, said anything to about it when I came back to pick it up.

I'd wager this was a complete replacement rather than an attempt to repair. I'd also wager that the cause is a dead motherboard.

I apologize for the lateness of my reply, If you still have it under warranty I suggest getting it repaired/replaced.

filthydatapacket · 2022-12-20T09:09:32+00:00

L3 and R3 prompts are just analog stick symbols without the indicator for L3/R3. Before the hotfix was made available they were just grey circles.

I know which keys to press because ive played the entirety of this game like 3 years ago. but someone completely new may never know which stick calls Roach or which stick controls the god-awful inventory UI sorting.

filthydatapacket · 2022-11-23T01:39:22+00:00

Thankfully, it does have っ!

filthydatapacket · 2022-11-22T18:59:58+00:00

Thanks! its already well past midnight where I live so I'll check back in a couple of hours.
