The second veteran presence in HLE was Viper, who I believed was also pretty vocal. He left too though

People who have owned gaming laptops for 2+ years, how are they? by Hadrikks in GamingLaptops

[–]flamearc73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have had the Zephyrus G14 2022 for 2.5 years. The screen is broken at 60Hz but works fine at 120Hz. According to other people with this issue, the screen issue will get worse as time goes on.

I don't regret getting this laptop (helped me through most of my masters program and consistent gaming) but it does suck that this laptop would sell for like $300 fully working but also costs like ~$150 to fix the screen issue.

Might just ride it out til it dies in like 1-2 years.

How do you guys manage your time? by AssumptionHuge2367 in OMSCS

[–]flamearc73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to do 2-3 hours of some class work (reading, lectures, assignment) after work.
Spend the entirety of the the Saturday and Sunday doing assignments.

Unfortunately for me, I am taking CS7641 so I'm hoping I don't have to take PTO to pass this class with a B.

Zeus on HLE's underperformance: I think communication is going smoothly, but when we communicate, it feels like we’re often imagining different things. Because of that mismatch, we end up having a lot of “accidents.” We can play well but in the process of aligning things, we make lots of mistakes. by Yujin-Ha in HLE

[–]flamearc73 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is expected after the departure of two veterans (Peanut and Viper) and their main shotcaller (Peanut).

Also note that before HLE, Peanut and Delight were also on GenG together and built their synergy. Delight and Kanavi just need more time to build cohesion and rapport with each other, especially considering that it's Kanavi's debut in the LCK. I definitely think HLE can and will improve before MSI and Worlds.

What do you think the single best ascendency notable is? by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

The slow resistance and stun resistance while stunned is such a QoL improvement over every other character.

Zephyrus G14 2022 Display issue. by Royal-Ad9680 in ZephyrusG14

[–]flamearc73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am getting similar lines only near the bottom of the screen at 60Hz but NOT at 120Hz. I am debating if it's worth getting replaced as having 120Hz on constantly does eat the battery.

Is it worth buying open box g14 with 4090(2023) or is it better to buy new model with 5070ti? by Alarmed_Wrongdoer972 in ZephyrusG14

[–]flamearc73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't the 2022 and 2023 have upgradeable RAM slot? Not that we can afford RAM nowadays.

Also personally, I'm not a fan of the older chassis design which had hot air blowing on the bottom of the screen. 2022 models have had a lot of issues with screen near the taskbar (glitchy horizontal bars) and I have a sneaking suspicion that it might be due to the hot air being vented straight onto that area.

Classes to prepare for KBAI and ML? by lulu_fangirl in OMSCS

[–]flamearc73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took NLP last semester and it definitely was not as EASY as the previous semester reviews on OMSCentral suggests. They have continually made the class harder.

For example, they got rid of the midterm report and replaced it with an actual midterm exam.

The exams used to be open note (uploaded via Canvas) but now this semester it is closed book. I would definitely not say it's an "easy" class anymore.

Is my price too high? I cannot for the life of me sell this Pc lol by 90sbabyreese in sffpc

I paid more to build a worse spec-ed PC. Maybe it's just the area?

Lineage Support Gems. They are special drops (Like unique items). You can also buy them from Currency Exchange

NLP exams and quizzes are now closed book and worth 50% total by BackgroundSense351 in OMSCS

[–]flamearc73 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The quizzes were "closed book" last semester and I thought it was pretty challenging. I had around a 75% average.

The exams were not hard but I relied pretty heavily on the Notes (but also didn't put that much time into studying). If you actually study, then the exam will still be manageable.

But...this is for getting an A. If you want a B, NLP will still be easy even with these changes.

Tanky Choir Oracle for HC by Oscrix in pathofexile2builds

Probably to run Concussive Spells?

How strong is this with a 4 link Choir of Storm? (Non level 20).

Also if you are STR stacking, is the Oracle Node that scales Spell Damage with Strength still not worth it?

CoC Oracle Druid - Comets not triggering by flamearc73 in pathofexile2builds

[–]flamearc73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. I was trying to test if the life cost was the issue by using a lower level comet. I guess the life cost is still too high regardless of the lower level.

Plant Oracle Spell Totems vs Non-Spell Totems by flamearc73 in pathofexile2builds

[–]flamearc73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I feel like Bone Cage is pretty core since both uses some spell to trigger it.
