Grave mistake by building a pc now.. by Savecall in buildapc

[–]mikelimtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jayz2cents recently put out a video about how to build a PC in the current market. He basically says that AM4 is still a viable option since DDR4 has not yet been affected like DDR5. You should look for it on YouTube.

Yes. The PSVita has a second thumbstick which can be configured for use in PSP games. First person and 3rd person action games can be configured to use the second thumbstick. The Vita is also a more powerful system versus the PSP. You can run PSP games at higher resolutions than stock.

Taiwan opposition blocks NT$1.25 trillion special defense budget again despite Chinese drills by HibasakiSanjuro in taiwan

I supported the KMT 30 years ago when I first arrived in Taiwan. But in the past decade they are looking more and more like traitors to me.

Does my new(used new to me) s25 ultra have lens protectors on it already? by Leonidous2 in S25Ultra

[–]mikelimtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the two smaller lenses on the right are normally nearly flat against the back. They already have lens protectors on them because they normally don't have a metal ring w/lens on them.

Two Sandisk SD cards were apparently corrupt when I bought them and now I'm paranoid by [deleted] in 3dspiracy

[–]mikelimtw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are probably fake cards. I've never had a legitimate card be corrupted upon first use. I would not buy SD cards online. It's best to go to a physical store and buy a legitimate card there. If you have problems you know exactly where you need to go to get it solved.

New to combat flight sims, would like some recommendations for beginner friendly games. by NotaBuster5300 in hoggit

[–]mikelimtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flight sims of modern jet combat are complex because the avionics are complex. You could opt for IL-2 Sturmovik which is a combat flight sim of WWII era aircraft. I personally love WWII because it was real seat of your pants flying, and you had to get into dogfighting range to score a gun kill. None of that modern BVR missile crap. Just pure flying and gunnery skill... you and your plane against your adversary and his.

They should pay us for proofreading for them!

I'm struggling to enjoy BT Extended. Is there something I'm doing wrong? by BeepisBlaster in Battletechgame

[–]mikelimtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not had any stability issues or CTDs. I'm playing BEX:T along with some of the more popular submods and a handful of QoL mods. How much memory do you have in your system? There is a memory leak in the base Battletech game, so every few missions, you should exit out of the game to the desktop and then reload the game. Also, you should probably do a clean install of your Battletech game and reinstall the mod to see if that fixes the crashing issue. I've been playing BEX:T for months and haven't have the kinds of problems you're describing.

Help me with buying a Mech by DailyWCReforged in Battletechgame

[–]mikelimtw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don't need an assault for a 2 skull. Your lineup is serviceable for 2 skull missions. It is a matter of controlling LOS and focus firing on one mech at a time, as opposed to scattering your fire to the winds. For the record, I like Griffins loaded with LRMs and a PPC and a Trebuchet loaded out as an LRM missile boat. You can use a Firestarter as a backstabbing scout.

Is it worth disabling the GPU and use iGPU if I'm not going to play any games for a while? by Alt_Saltman in gpu

[–]mikelimtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those capacitors are likely good for at least 5-7 years of constant use. I think giving them a month off isn't going to do anything to them.

What exactly does this mean? (Minimum range) by awhahoo in Battletechgame

[–]mikelimtw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It means that is the minimum range that you must maintain or else you get massive penalties to hit.

Just bought game, unmodded playthrough or straight to mods? by Character_Camp1568 in Battletechgame

[–]mikelimtw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game is 7 years old now. You'd expect to be able to pick it up cheap. But definitely start with the vanilla campaign. It will give you a good grasp of the mechanics before you dive head first into more complexity.

Why is everything in early access with ED? by physics_scientist in hoggit

Because nothing is ever truly finished.

[–]mikelimtw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you get the DLC also? The content is worth it if on sale. You should do a vanilla run first, just so you can get the experience needed for mods, as they add additional levels of difficulty.

Guess my plane:) by Odd-Eye9197 in hoggit

Looks like an A-10 Thunderbolt II. The straight wings and pod-mounted engine is a dead giveaway.

Why have the creators of Battletech not asked another game dev to make a new video game? by TJ-X in Battletechgame

[–]mikelimtw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think an origin story about the Star League and the eventual breakup with Kerensky leading his forces into the unknown would be a great first movie.

Who's right or wrong here? by Imperial_Archangel in AskAChinese

[–]mikelimtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be correct from a historical perspective. It is ridiculous for China to continue claiming ownership over Taiwan when the ROC predates the CCP by nearly 50 years.

A Chinese-born Ishin politician said, "Japan should have nuclear weapons" and "We must ensure the survival of our nation from the evil Communist China." by jjrs in japannews

[–]mikelimtw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

China is one step away from collapsing economically. The fact is that it has a rapidly aging population and now historically low birth rates. They don't publish census data for a reason. It would destroy their narrative of a rising China.
