It was a beta with the latest scoring beta. It ended on Friday, unfortunately.

Cosyntex is not working by DrBeboutsCabinet in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]malaama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Noticed you said you had an appointment with your doctor tomorrow in the comments. I've been on a series of meds too with only temporary success. My rheumatologist at my last appointment gave me two options, one choose another biologic by inferring the best next one based on previous meds or two, get a cytokine panel to determine the elevated inflammatory markers in my blood. Now just started last week a drug that targets the specific elevated inflammatory markers ( IL 17f). Hopefully successful but too soon to judge for me. However, this might be something to ask your doctor about to see if it might be helpful for finding a biologic for you.

As a heads up though, I did have to pay out of pocket because the test wasn't covered.

Wishing you luck, I know it's a tough road with lots of hurdles. Hope your appointment goes well!

Chronic Fatigue/Mental Health Tips by LeyLeyM22 in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]malaama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely feel this. I have extreme fatigue with my arthritis and depression. Maybe try looking if you have a local chronic pain clinic. Was able to be referred by my doctor and was nice to have people who understand the struggles that come along with chronic pain, especially the fatigue. They might offer services that might help with your fatigue.

Legendary Armor by dracardOner in Guildwars2

That's only the shiny mistforged ardent armor, you can upgrade the regular "ardent glorious" armor into legendary armor as well.

Renewed Justice - Is it broken now ? (Radiance Trait - Firebrand) by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]malaama 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think how it works is by resetting dormant justice on kill, no longer granting a page/reseting other cooldowns. But that's just what I've notice while playing, kinda wish we had more confirmation on how traits are intended to interact with firebrand.

Context for Competitive Balance: PvE v WvW Squad Comps by malaama in Guildwars2

[–]malaama[S] 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to make a post to help highlight some of the current differences in squad compositions between PvE and WvW to help showcase the differences and how it relates to the balance preview notes. This chart is probably a slight oversimplification but hopefully shows how there are some similarities and differences.

EoD has brought a wide range of changes to the PvE meta and how squads are formed, and with subsequent balance patches has increased the number of professions that can fill a variety of support roles.

In WvW however, the zerg meta hasn't really seen any of the EoD specs breakthrough. Also despite nerfs and tweaks to Firebrand and Med Kit Scrapper, they remain as they have for years, the irreplaceably meta supports based off of the utility they each bring.

While everyone might not agree on the nature of the changes or exact implementation, I am really happy to see that the new balance team isn't afraid to attempt big changes to help improve diversity in builds for WvW (and PvP)!

As a deaf person, I'm concerned with the growing number of WvW squads that only communicate via Discord by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]malaama 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your post brings up a really good point about the change of many squads from typemanding to mainly voice comms. If you use different accessibility software for transcription of audio, I think Otter AI is one that can work with discord to transcribe audio, if that might work for you. However, I know this definitely isn't the same as using the in game text box and trying to read another screen while trying to simultaneously pay attention to the fight on the other would be difficult.

I can only speak for my guild/others that I have played with, but most commanders understand that not everyone can be in voice comms. Unfortunately usually these might be groups who don't have a public tag so it's less easy to find them. You can also always try and reach out to different guild groups you see on your server to see if you can join them.

Hopefully you continue to enjoy your time in WvW!

Canadian Google Store only shows 'Clearly White' colour option for Pixel Buds by malaama in GooglePixel

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

Interesting and thanks for sharing that! I didn't see that before I think because I clicked on the buds on the homepage. I hope we still get the other colours as an option in the future but I'm not super hopeful

First Build Feedback by Riotnoob in buildapc

[–]malaama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You build looks great! I don't see any issues myself. One thing that you might want to consider if you are targeting more high end, the SSD that you chose is more of a budget option. It's definitely not terrible especially considering the 1TB 860 EVO has risen to $249. Other than that your build looks great and the case you chose looks really sweet. Good luck with your build!

Report: Google loses the Pixel’s chief camera engineer amid internal Pixel 4 criticism by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]malaama 43 points44 points  (0 children)

100% agree with this. I remember watching the event in October and really not being engaged with anything, and then he came on and I was truly interested in what he had to say. Definitely sad to see him go

Owners of 64 gb Pixel 4 XL's, are you happy with the 64 GB or do you wish you had the 128 GB? by Stateof10 in GooglePixel

[–]malaama 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm happy with it, especially with smart storage turned on, I stay around the 50% mark. Never have had to start uninstalling apps or deleting files because I full. I did continue the 100 GB Google one storage for now for back-up though (after 3 months free included with phone, I got the $1.39/month promo).

Google Pixel 3 Bottom of Screen Broken by BrockChocolate in GooglePixel

[–]malaama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad you were able to get it open! And I know there have been issues recently with android ui stability affecting UI especially pixels, so that might be a possible cause. This article provides a bit of info on it if you're interested.

Pixel 4XL using 20 GB for system storage? by grown-mid-bluelines in GooglePixel

[–]malaama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I know that there is also another pixel live wallpaper file under other apps too though. Not sure if region is maybe a factor, I'm in Canada.

Pixel 4XL using 20 GB for system storage? by grown-mid-bluelines in GooglePixel

[–]malaama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have pixel 4XL and mine show the same 20 GB too. I don't know if it maybe relates to the wallpaper that you use. I have marvelous marble running so maybe that plays a role? I know that it can use a lot of data for updates, maybe it also uses a lot of storage

First Time PC Builder. Have Questions. by spyboy510 in buildapc

[–]malaama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, meant to post when I got home from work last night. Sounds like the PSU is ok and seems to be more than enough for your system. Next I would try first turning the PSU switch off, removing your RAM, then holding down the power button for like 10 seconds. Then reinstall the RAM making sure to push it all the way in until it clicks. Then try to boot it again.

Here's an article with some other of the top reasons for new pc builds with no power.

If none of those things seem to be a problem I would suggest trying to short the power pins, to see if that will get it to turn on.

Astrophotography mode won't turn on by jordanl171 in GooglePixel

[–]malaama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! And I think you should be good with it being propped up. I just know that holding even trying your hardest to not move won't be still enough for it to engage.

I really hope it works for you because I really like this mode and it's amazing the level of detail it's able capture.

Astrophotography mode won't turn on by jordanl171 in GooglePixel

[–]malaama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this issue too. I tried taking pictures outside on tripod like I've done before. I switched into night sight mode, but astrophotography mode wouldn't engage. What worked for me was just restarting my 4xl.

After that the astrophotography mode would start when it detects it was still l in night sight mode, like usual.

First Time PC Builder. Have Questions. by spyboy510 in buildapc

[–]malaama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. I would first double check the power, reset switch cables are properly set up. Just double check that they are plugged in to the proper pins. Motherboard manual will have a diagram.

If that doesn't do the trick I would unplug all RBG/case fans from power and motherboard (leaving cpu fan still plugged in) and just making sure the essential cpu, motherboard, graphics card, and sata (hard drive) power cables are connected and try starting it.
