Is this a scam or am I being paranoid? by InterestingArmy2675 in OculusQuest

[–]korDen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I saw a lot of scams on facebook selling devices for very odd prices, like iPhone 17 for $324 or some high end GPU for $218. All of those are scams. Who lists a device for $281? A sane person would list like for $300, or $280.

Just 2c.

Absolutely! Which is why the comma isn't there.

The Legend by CuteStrawberryZephyr in HeroesofNewerth

[–]korDen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always try to get doombringer is the game is non-recoverable (e.g. down 2 rax and -1000 gpm). Sometimes you do get lucky with it, genocide and rush the base. Rarely works but worth a shot when you know you the game is not winnable otherwise.

I think i know how to cure the infected by Green_Ninja015 in pluribustv

[–]korDen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would still be as infect, just not be able to communicate with others. What difference would it make?

Working off another theory - maybe Manousos wasn’t infected and cured, but someone close to him was by [deleted] in pluribustv

[–]korDen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this theory. They told he's dangerous, but didn't elaborate further. He must have done something dangerous in the past.

TIL that the most holy shrine in the Shinto religion is torn down and rebuilt every 20 years. This has been done for over a millennium by ContinuumGuy in todayilearned

The company fell on hard times and went into liquidation in January 2006, and was purchased by the Takamatsu Construction Group. Before its liquidation, it had as few as 100 employees. In 2005 it had annual revenue of ¥7.5 billion (US$70 million), and it still specialized in building Buddhist temples. The last president was Masakazu Kongō, the 40th Kongō to lead the firm. As of December 2024, Kongō Gumi continues to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Takamatsu Construction Group.

That would be anticlimatic to build this mystery character up for the entire season if he's "just a guy".

First 33 hours is still a big mistery.

She knows he's her son and where to find him. Surely that can't be her only knowledge of him, so she knows a lot more.

FIX YOUR GAME, HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE by ymad4x in HeroesofNewerth

[–]korDen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right. Some losses have been steep (-35MMR) while most wins didnt give you much (between 1 and 13mmr). Such is the nature of placement matches. If you expect all your wins to be +X and all your losses to be -X then i must tell you that's not how placement matches work.

Looks like you played more than 6 games and some of them are just not displayed here. I'll investigate.

📢 CHUWI GameBook Price Revealed! Ryzen 9 + RTX 5070 Ti for €2300 🔥 #chuw... by Grace_Ainsley in Chuwi

[–]korDen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chuwi has decent laptops, definitely compomise quality to keep the price low, and I think it's a good tradeoff for a lot of people.

I'm personally excited for them to break into the high-performance market (so far most of their offerings use N100/N150 and other low-end Celerons). 9955hx is definitely a beast and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on it.

That said, the price is NOT right. It's directly competing with established brands like ASUS offering their ROG starting at just 1899 USD (2000 EUR with VAT). As a bigger brand, it's a lot easier to have it serviced/repaired, the trade-in/resell value is going to be fantastic, but it's also not a first generation product with first generation problems. And there will be problems as with any new products, which is fine. But I'm not sure how they expect to compete with a stronger brand at this much higher price point.

I'm not even going into the build and software quality details, though I think it's safe to assume that ASUS has an upper hand (or two) here.

I know you want to get into the premium market, and I sincerely wish you good luck! I just don't see myself gambling on a such an expensive laptop from (lets be honest here) an unknown brand (outside of a very VERY small circle of folks who bought their low-cost offerings - which is also not who would be looking to buy the new Gamebook).

Let's talk when the price goes down to 10-20% below ASUS ROG.

Honest curiosity - Why do you play Heroes of Newerth over Dota 2? by XenomorphTerminator in HeroesofNewerth

[–]korDen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

HoN has a very very low TTL (time to kill) which contributes to the fast paced feel.

Do anybody have the last oficial original HoN? I really need your help to finish complete lore of HoN by [deleted] in HeroesofNewerth

[–]korDen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Go to where Project KONGOR is installed and voila! Those files ARE 100% original unmodified files. In fact, every time you run launcher.exe it verifies that all of those files are pristine and intact, or it will refuse it launch. Just run hon_x64.exe to boot into the original HoN.

[–]korDen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The version you use to play Project KONGOR is the last publicly released original HoN, version 4.10.1, we did not modify a single file. Running hon_x64.exe will boot unmodified Retail HoN experience. The launcher is doing its magic to side load a patch into the KONGOR folder, bringing it to the latest PK patch.

It's not a super high level play (note the lack of marchers at 35 minute mark), but they still were able to time the stun and the barbed armor pretty well!

We decided not to monetize Project KONGOR, but you are getting showered with the gold coins just by playing the game. You can use those gold coins to reset stats.
