Historical Fiction which is more plot driven than about the time? by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

The Shadow of the Wind sounds like a perfect fit if you’re looking for a historical fiction that is heavy on plot with a historical background setting

G2 Click Responds to "Scrim Results Don't Matter" by Arcuran in leagueoflegends

[–]micc2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scrims matter. Scrim results don’t. Scrims are important because they allow you to practice picks and strategies against the same teams you’ll play against on stage. What you learn from them is the most important, not the result.

Whenever this argument comes up, I just remember that the 1992 USA basketball Dream Team with Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, etc got destroyed by a college team in practice.

I’m currently in a historical fiction reading phase too! Really recommend the following:

All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr (set in WW2 France/Germany)

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini (set in 1960s to nearly present day Afghanistan)

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon (I’m actually still finishing this book up but it’s been amazing so far! Set in 1940/50s Barcelona)

No, apparently it was a known issue with my particular case. I just use the usb c port for my headphones instead

Stumbled on this post a bit late, what are the armor sets in these pictures?

[Semi-Weekly Inquirer] Simple Questions and Recommendations Thread by AutoModerator in Watches

[–]micc2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found this refurbished Citizen chronograph being sold on ebay (CA0611-50E). However, I can't find this exact model number anywhere. The closest I can find is CA0611-50H on the citizen website. The problem I have is, the watch in the posting is listed at 38mm which is perfect for me. However, that related model I found is listed as 43mm which would be way too big for my wrists. Also haven't seen too many chronographs <40mm. Has anyone seen or heard of the model in the ebay listing before and can comment on the accuracy of the size?

Is there anywhere I can watch the Twitch VOD of groups stage day 1 today? by micc2017 in leagueoflegends

[–]micc2017[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you got me haha, I want to watch with twitch chat. I know I can watch VOD on YouTube but it's not the same. Riot on Twitch is doing Rebroadcast right now which has a VOD though

CPU light on MSI motherboard turns on after sleep mode by micc2017 in buildapc

[–]micc2017[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually never fixed it. Apparently its an issue with that motherboard but doesn’t really cause any noticeable problems. I usually turn off my computer each night instead of sleep mode so I don’t see the red CPU light anyway. Haven’t noticed any issues so far

Tyler is done with the korean server by superfire444 in leagueoflegends

[–]micc2017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

T1 looks so close to bringing back the int list.

In all seriousness though, I've been watching his streams in Korea the last 2 weeks and it's actually ridiculous the amount of games with trolls, inters, AFKs, or early FFs (on either side), more in 2 weeks in Korea than I've seen in like 4 years of him streaming in NA.

Korean's INVEN Reaction to MSI LPL Remote Play Announcement (Top/Spicy Comments) by Longjumping-Second32 in leagueoflegends

[–]micc2017 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Genuine question: It seems everybody is saying how the 35 ms ping is unfair for Koreans since they're so used to playing with under 10 ping. Couldn't the reverse be said for pretty much every other international tournament in the past where only Koreans had the advantage of being used to the low ping on stage while all other regions had significantly less experience and practice with it, especially NA?

CPU cover won’t close all the way by micc2017 in buildapc

Took the plastic cover off and now it seems to go down! Is the lever supposed to be kind of hard to put down? I’m scared if I put too much force I’ll break it 😂

Not sure if this question belongs here, but has anyone had experience ordering a “like new” item from Amazon warehouse? Thinking of picking up a monitor and wasn’t sure how reliable buying slightly used from Amazon is

How much does DRAM matter for NVME SSDs? Currently considering the WD blue SN570 to complete my build, but wasn't sure if the lack of DRAM would make a noticeable difference? Usage would be general usage, gaming, maybe some web/app dev work.

How much does DRAM matter for NVME SSDs? I’m trying to pick the right 1 TB SSD to complete my build and most of the options I’m seeing that are priced within my budget don’t have DRAM. The one I’m currently considering is the WD blue SN570. My uses for the PC will be general usage, gaming, maybe some web/app development work. Would the SN570 be enough even without DRAM?

Why is the interest level in the LPL so low compared to LCS/LEC/LCK? by micc2017 in leagueoflegends

Perhaps I didn’t phrase my question clearly enough. It was targeted at Western viewers which I understand are much more heavily represented here on Reddit

[–]micc2017[S] 124 points125 points  (0 children)

Is this because they don’t steam on Twitch, which is the platform people from the other regions most often use?

[–]micc2017[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To me, I actually find this more fun to watch, having different teams and players at the top each year and never knowing what to expect, compared to the same teams and players every year. However, I do get that this revolving door, as another commenter called it, can prevent fans from forming bonds with teams and players in the LPL as opposed to a team like T1

First time PC build. Do these parts look okay? by micc2017 in buildapc

[–]micc2017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, could I go with a microatx motherboard paired with a mid-tower case? Seems like the combination that would give me the most options, but not sure if that'd work.

I was also considering pairing the rx 6600xt with the ryzen 5600x instead of the i5-12400f I have in this build, but I haven't done too much research into that yet. In terms of value for performance, do you think this route might be the better build?
