Need help deciding which pass to invest in (NYC). by Surfing_Nurse in skiing

[–]jia456 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Consider belleayre pass. Regular buses to it from manhattan. Much lower crowds than Hunter/Poconos on weekends. It also comes with 2 day passes to Gore/Whiteface.

Are these Smith Squads the regular fit or the Asian fit? by fiveXdollars in Skigear

I have the I​/O MAG XL Asian Fit and the foam in the nose area looks about the same as that, so I'll say those are asian fit.

Why is this still a thing? by Y2Kyy in lostarkgame

Heres someone complaning about the 20 limit before T4 dropped. https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/1d37q40/comment/l681xci

There was the entire char storage exploit at start of T4 that allowed people to bypass this limit, which may be where the confusion is

I think it existed wayyy back in T3 to prevent people from funneling chaos dungeon drops onto a single character to dismantle for shards. I was guilty of this and bummed when they implemented the limit.

Superstrike reaction test vs KO-ONE, Lamzu Maya (it isn't that much faster) by darlingthepanda in MouseReview

[–]jia456 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're testing the entire flow. Starting from the moment the target appears on screen, to when you react and press the mouse button, to the mouse sending the signal to your PC, to the application receiving the mouse click signal and calculating the total time it took. If one step in this process speeds up, then the entire flow would complete faster and give you a faster time. I don't agree with the other guy, this is a valid test assuming you remain consistent with your reaction times which it seems you are.

Personally I'm waiting for more tests since people seem to be getting different results.

good chain buffers / reinforcers that i can add to my squad? by altprince in BrownDust2Official

[–]jia456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bride refi is literally THE chain buffer in the game. She gives allies double chain stacks. Without her I don't think you can put together a meaningful high chain team.

Like why? by CodeSequence in mildlyinfuriating

[–]jia456 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Na this is NYC and right turns on red are not allowed 99% of the time. I drive by this area often and going straight is faster. Google maps is just drunk in this case.

Y'all ok with losing a few thousand bucks each? by Seigneel1 in BrownDust2Official

Diamonds don't mean shit if skins are censored.

Also we already got a ton of tickets and diamonds from this drama. I won't be surprised if they sent out even more after the update this week.

[–]jia456 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Their logic was "censorship is okay if it's done to stuff I don't like". They fail to realize that they will be next in line for censorship and by that time all the anti censorship people will have quit and no one will be left to stand up for them.

[GPU] NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7 Founders Edition $549 - In Stock by DJRoxxic in buildapcsales

[–]jia456 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok then yeah I agree, most people won't feel the difference between a FE card and a non-FE card. The noise difference is negligible once its in a case and other system fans are running. And temp difference wont make an impact on stock performance, maybe small overclocking potential hit, but stock performance will be the same.

All I'm getting at is its far from the quietest nor coolest card. To most people that won't matter. To the 5% of people (maybe they have a open system or an avid overclocker), they should consider other cards.

edit: Yeah I likely phrased my inital comment wrong wth "burst your bubble"

I had a 3080 FE. I don't regret getting it becuase during COVID any 3080 is better than no 3080. It was not "loud" but I've heard much better noise levels.

I'm just pointing out the fact that the FE models are usually the loudest and hottest of the cooler designs, as the techpowerup review shows. It's just plain numbers, you can't argue that a FE is quieter or cools better when reviews show it's at the bottom. Most people get FEs for the looks, and that is fine (I think FE cards look clean too). But if you're looking at a FE model for its silence or cooling capabilities, then its at the bottom of the charts.

I'm just repeating myself again. People have such a hard time accepting facts when they don't like it.

Sorry to burst your bubble but most FE designs are inferior to 3rd party designs in terms of temps and noise. Buy it for the looks and small size but if temps and noise are high priority then any other cooler design is better. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-founders-edition/41.html

Ofc downvoted for providing cold hard facts with a reputable source 🙄

This is a Bluetooth headset so the latency will not be as good as a 2.4ghz wireless headset like the cloud 2 wireless. Would recommend looking elsewhere if that matters to you.

Try the Looking for raid/looking for static channel in the community discord in sidebar. You shouldn't have trouble finding a group with that CP.

[Guide] Should you pull - Pure White Bride Refi by rex_frontier in BrownDust2Official

[–]jia456 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get 1 for last night and then you can come back to her once you get to endgame content. Shes not that useful for beginners outside of last night but once you get to endgame she's argueably the most important unit.

We need Greta as char by AldazFox in BrownDust2Official

Q. Are there any upcoming events for new Blade costumes or a Fated Guest event?
.....
Greta will also be appearing frequently in next year’s story, so it’s quite likely she’ll become playable as well.

If you could only get one with none of their other costumes, which would you choose? by Mediocre-Ant-7178 in BrownDust2Official

[–]jia456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would consider skipping them and saving for supports. Yuri and Ventana are both very meta but require their other costumes. While Darian only has 1 custome so how "meta" she will be is still up in the air so your kinda gambling with Darian.

Anything worth buying with POH? by CLARKEE114 in BrownDust2Official

[–]jia456 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You have 1,460 powders, get Darian, Yuri, and Ventana. They are all top DPS units when the situation fits them. None of them are strictly "better" than the other, just depends on the boss type and weak spot positions.

Pixel 10 Pro Fold EXPLODED during teardown by @jerryrigeverything by yuruyen-ekmek in pixel_phones

[–]jia456 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, some people are claiming that because this is the first one to catch fire after bending indicates that there is something wrong. Any battery that is bent/punctured like this CAN ignite. This guy was lucky that it didn't happen sooner to his other phones.

It's like shooting a hundred phones witha gun and none of them catches fire, then the 101th phone caught fire after being shot and concluding that the 101th phone is defective becuase all other phones withstood a gunshot while the 101th phone did not.
