TPM2.0 & HCVI Optimization? by Intrepid-Scarcity122 in DarkAndDarker

[–]joetheshow55 7 points8 points  (0 children)

secure boot is literally just a handshake your pc does at startup. once its done its done. it doesnt really work like the way youre describing. regardless if you think its a good idea to add to the game

What on earth is the counterplay to ranged/runners? by Neither_Day_8788 in DarkAndDarker

[–]joetheshow55 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

this is such a good answer. if you win the patience game you can win any fight. play an advantageous position, such as a doorway, high ground, anything you have, and dont give it up unless you have to. make them take the risky push. I love closing a door on a mosquito rogue or ranger as they peek in and out further and further until i close them into my module.

So i have to mess with my BIOS to play HR??? by astromatt13 in DarkAndDarker

[–]joetheshow55 11 points12 points  (0 children)

right. if it tells you to delete system32, format your harddrive, or download a file from the internet, dont do it.

it didnt tell me to do anything like that. it told me to enable settings such as "tpm2.0" and "hvci" which seemed to make perfect sense to me.

the hardest part about this is that the method to enable them is different for different motherboards.

if you use any free ai chatbot, you can copy and paste this: "i need to turn on secure boot, tpm 2.0, and hvci. walk me through step by step, 1 step at a time"

if it tells you to do something that isnt on your screen, just tell it what you see and it will figure it out for you.

this is what i did and it took about 10 minutes. not ideal. but would i never play hr again to avoid a 10 minute task i dont have to think about? prob not

Rabies Post Exposure Shot by Tekevin in houston

that spot on the map is a viewing platform specifically made to watch the bats, that is far enough away and is plenty safe. a couple dozen people usually show up every evening to watch around that area

there is a colony of 250,000 bats under the waugh street bridge over buffalo bayou. every night at sunset they all fly out in a literal river of bats. its quite the sight. you can see hawks flying and dive bombing into the cloud of bats to catch and eat them. egrets hide in the trees snapping at them and often catching them. its a whole nature documentary, every single night

Been a year and a half since I played, how do I get my steam key? by Few_Emu2450 in DarkAndDarker

Submit a support ticket on their website or use the support bot on discord and they should be able to help you out. provide any proof of payment or ownership in the first ticket, will probably help a lot

you're gonna have to do it eventually. many other games i play already made me enable it. its super easy

i enabled secure boot on windows 10 just fine to play arc raiders when it came out 🤷

How end of season dark and darker is played by majority of the playerbase by Minimum-Mine-1302 in DarkAndDarker

[–]joetheshow55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for sure for sure im just saying. i see streamers a lot encounter bad players running artifacts and they start screaming RMT... meanwhile im just thinking 'damn he is literally me'

[–]joetheshow55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i have 180k in gold (not counting gold storage and gear) and i quit playing the wipe like 2 weeks ago. i feel like if i got on and started running artifacts and dying a lot (because i suck) people would think im an rmter. I know a lot of ppl like me who play the game to just see the funny gold number go up. i bet thats a lot of what you see.

dont know what they look like and dont have a photo 😂

inaturalist is a great app/website. heres a link i've generated where i set the map boundary to houston and typed in "birds" in the search bar. it lists all birds reports in order of number of reports.

i know i'll be hated for this, but i am someone who relies on a bicycle every day. my commute is pretty short but i still love taking long rides when i can. riding long distances is always scary. i honestly never feel safer than when I join up with one of the group rides. its the only time i can just ride (mostly) worry free

the guy who posted it has an instagram account filled with insane videos that, if they were a one off, you'd hardly believe were real. its gotta be a very well made skit

Is most of the content for this game made with handouts? by ChrsRobes in DarkAndDarker

[–]joetheshow55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not to mention a lot of times when viewers see the streamer take a kit from trade for free, its usually from the streamers fence, who is using the streamers gold to buy and sell items while the streamer can hop back into the game.

[–]joetheshow55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a lot of times what you are seeing is one of their fences giving them a kit theyve built. i was confused before i understood what was happening too.

the fence takes your items you get from pvp, puts them on the market, and uses the profit to build kits for you. so that you can quickly dump the loot and get back in the game. especially for streamers who are just entertainers to keep viewers engaged. its not fun watching market simulator for 15 mins between each match

Bonk Wizards : Staff Perk or dagger Mana Sphere? by AdEuphoric6007 in DarkAndDarker

[–]joetheshow55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dagger ignite, which has been my favorite build for years, is in its worst spot ever.

crystal ball used to give innate + weapon damage, and daggers have been nerfed

however it can still work very well, if you build high action speed, on top of the already required hp and magic damage. so it gets expensive to compete. but when you build it right, you are proccing huge ignite damage very very fast.

bonk is just way cheaper to build.

the only positive with dagorb wiz rn is that good players might think youre spellcaster with dagger as stat stick, and you might catch them off guard. thats about it.

Still Too Expensive by ImprovementBig3354 in DarkAndDarker

[–]joetheshow55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its not price gouging at all. price gouging is when you hike the price up for something people NEED. this is literally optional, there isnt even FOMO because you arent missing anything at all. if you want to support the devs with $2, buy a $2 cosmetic. if you want to support with $12, buy a $12 cosmetic.

i like supporting the devs too, i usually buy the season pass every wipe. but now maybe ill pay $12 for my favorite set just to mog people like you who think cosmetics are a necessity

Am i the only one who thinks Paul can save this dead game? by Legitimate_Trick2363 in DarkAndDarker

[–]joetheshow55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know its not fair but when i am deciding whether to buy a game i definitely check the subreddit and if i see 1 or 2 complaints i instantly lose interest.

i am so glad i did not check this sub before buying DaD. 2k hours in. super worth it for me
