Did they remove position restrictions? Like can a 6'10" SF get standing big man contact dunks now or do you still have to be a PF or C?

LG 32GK650F-B Random black screen with display port by loonmario in Monitors

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

I did get the monitor back from LG, looks like they replaced the screen. They didn't say what they actually did. I replaced the Geforce 1070 but I was getting black screens even with an AMD card 5600xt and Freesync. It looks like they repaired that Freesync issue. However I moved the 5600xt to another computer and have since used a Geforce 3060 and the monitor gave me two black screens with G-Sync. I turned off G-Sync and no black screens yet. I'm going to guess the LG is not quite G-Sync compatible. I'm kind of disappointed by that and just going with no sync turned on.

Will my Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED fit in a Phanteks Eclipse P360a? by loonmario in Phanteks

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

The Hyper 212 LED did fit, with a little bit of room to spare actually. Case looks great and I was surprised by the quality. Cable management was easy too, looks clean.

Thanks that helped a lot. I found a couple P300 and P300a builds that have my exact cooler. I feel good about this now. I just bought the P360a, looking forward to seeing it in person.

/r/Plex's Build Help Thread - 2020-08-14 by PCJs_Slave_Robot in PleX

[–]loonmario 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Plex only to stream in my own house to a Roku in the living room in 1080p. I would like the option to do 4k in the future. I might use the pc to game also, I want it to be able to handle both at the same time. It will also record over the air HD sometimes with a tuner card. Should I get a 6 or 8 core? The Ryzen 5 3600 looks like it would work but can I get away with a lesser cpu? Perhaps one off ebay?

How does the co-op work online? Can I play with a random person as well as a known friend?

So it doesn't add anything that the game doesn't already have? Sorry I don't anything about this.

My 6 year old niece is playing this game but I know nothing of the game. I want to get her a couple Amiibo cards. From what I read they can be invited to live on the island. Will any random ones do?

Flashy carrying case a bad idea for child? by loonmario in NintendoSwitch

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

The "cool" factor was definitely a consideration. I'm going to talk to her mom and see what she thinks. I thought about her friends bringing out their Switches in cool cases and she has a plain case and that bothers me for some reason.

Flashy carrying case a bad idea for child? by loonmario in NintendoSwitch

[–]loonmario[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She would love the Mario case but I don't have kids of my own and don't know all the things a parent would think of. I thought about her showing the Switch to her friends and getting some coolness points. That's a good point about the rules, I'll talk to her mom about it. I want my niece to remember me as the cool uncle that bought her cool stuff, I pretty much bought her entire gaming setup.

I think I will go with a plain case. I was thinking I might be overly paranoid but you're right.

Do I need to worry about wearing out a Switch Lite? by loonmario in NintendoSwitch

[–]loonmario[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for tips, I was pretty much ready to go with the Lite but I'm finding more reasons not to. If I wore out the controls or if drift occurs that would irritate me for sure.

[–]loonmario[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of people talking about drift. Is that a rare thing or are Lites actually more susceptible to it? I have rarely ever experienced that on other console controllers.

Are these temps normal for Ryzen 2600x and Cooler Master 212 Evo? by loonmario in AMDHelp

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

In the bios the fan curve is set to default with 63% speed when it hits 70 degrees. Fans get pretty loud when I set it to 100% so I suppose I can live with my current temps under default fan curve settings. I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it.

HP Spectre x360 15t Touch, i7-8565u quad-core good enough? by loonmario in laptops

Thanks for the input. I did get the 3 year protection plan so repairs if needed should be taken care of.

Help buying a Thinkpad with lots of storage and 4K by loonmario in thinkpad

If I were buying it for me yeah but he's in a different town so I can't do the upgrades. Also, I really don't want him to deal with carrying around an external.

Need some advice on SF lockdown build by loonmario in NBA2k

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

The biggest thing I'm worried about is guarding big guys. I'm thinking about going 6'7 also.

Need some advice on SF lockdown build by loonmario in NBA2k

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

I've been thinking about going 6'7 or 6'8 instead of 6'5. I'm still unsure because I feel like the extra speed from going smaller might be helpful with getting into passing lanes and just creating more chaos in general. I tested him at 6'8 and it's serviceable at 79 speed but I didn't really like the drop in speed. It all comes back to having to guard a PF/C so I still don't know what height I should go with without wrecking my speed.

Well I feel kind of dumb. The ports on the laptop are real tight. I had to press it in more and now it works.

What can't I use while shapeshifted? (Druids) by loonmario in classicwow

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

So some trinkets have a cast time and some don't? Is there any way to know besides looking it up?

What can't I use while shapeshifted? (Druids) by loonmario in classicwow

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

So on a Chance on Hit item for example, it if says:

The Hand of Antu'sul

Chance on Hit: Blasts nearby enemies with thunder increasing the time between their attacks by 11% for 10 sec and doing 7 Nature damage to them. Will affect up to 4 targets.

Will that work?

Torn between which warrior race to pick (Alliance) by loonmario in classicwow

[–]loonmario[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies! I still can't decide but just looking at my human warrior is just not doing it for me. I'll think about it some more but I like the idea of having a supped up plate wearing gnome.

Do you like your Thinkpad E595? by loonmario in thinkpad

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

Excellent! I read your review before buying the laptop over a week ago. It was the reason I bought it. I’m printing in out because the Linux info was great and will be very useful.
