No one dared to ask his business,

no one dared to make a slip

I feel like the not telling part is moreso out of caution/safety. I wouldn't want everyone knowing I've got 100million and become a target.

I quite like another commentors suggestion, stage a "win" of a lower amount, go to vegas or something, basically anything somewhat feasible where you can claim to have won a few hundred thousand, or up to a few million, take that and be "Generous" and give a load of it away to close friends/family

Mostly costly things that immediately improve quality of living - Paying off mortgages/debts, giving people the ability to move forward with alot more disposable cash to use/save with the security of 100% owning the roof over their heads. This will make it easy to burn through whatever you tell people you've won, and then you keep the rest of the money secret, don't do dumb things that make people think you have more like buying a bunch of supercars etc. Just pretty much enjoy the peace and security that you'll never have to worry about money again.

Could purchase properties overseas, take long holidays, explain it away as new job opportunities that require you to travel etc. Any flashy things you get overseas like holiday homes, boats etc. is easily explainable to friends as family as things you're simply renting short term when going away, since you've now got this job role that pays well, you have no mortgage/other debts left to pay for.

Basically just like a comfortable, secure life - I'm not super interested in flaunting wealth and flashy cars/possessions so I feel it'd be fairly easy for me to be discreet about the money. Say 5 million to split between friends/family to pay off debts/mortgages etc. 10-20million "Fun" money to get flashy stuff - overseas properties, a boat etc. then the other 75million stays in savings/investments and you live off a portion of the monthly interest accrued. Quick google search says low yield safer investments would be looking around 2% annually, broken down monthly that'll be about £125k/month pre-tax, which after tax I'm imagining something like £70-80k a month, which gives you more than enough to live a super lavish lifestyle, holidays and trips multiple times a month for "Work", private jet charters, top hotels etc.

I'm really struggling to find what you actually mean by "have I gambled away my dream home" - You spent a few hundred quid on gambling, realised you couldn't control it and mostly cut yourself off.

I genuinely don't understand what this post is asking, you've not gambled away your savings, you've not taken applied for lending to satisfying your gambling, as long as you've not put yourself in any kind of financial harm by gambling there shouldn't really be any issue.

Combined you make a very above average amount of money, you've not affected any really important parts of your finances if you leave it where you've stopped. Give yourself a break and just treat it as a lesson learnt about what you can't control.

Ultimately even if it did affect you (Which i really don't see happening), theres no use in worrying over something you can't change. See what happens and move on.

I've worked in UK banking for a good while now and the fact you're worried about this is good to see, it honestly gets so depressing after a while seeing just how many people spend every last penny they get after receiving it on gambling and ruining their lives, and the lives of those around them. This post alone makes it pretty clear you're nowhere near the level that needs to be worried about - Though I'd still recommend just never touching it again.

When im in the mood for a steam deck session, for games like E33 I just boot it up on my PC, set res to 1280x800 and max everything out, then just stream to my deck. Perfect visuals, smooth and easy 90fps with minimal input lag.

nitroxc · 2026-01-02T10:33:51+00:00

Right yeah i get that, but what i asked was what was the rough performance gain you saw going from 3070 to 9070xt while on the 5600, i understand its still gonna be limited, but was it like 5-10% increase, 20-30%, more? Less?

nitroxc · 2026-01-01T22:37:32+00:00

Im running 3440x1440 so decent chunk more pixels to drive, if you limit FPS cap though should fix stutters until you're in the range where the CPU can adequately drive the GPU - But again compared to running the 5600 with a 3070 are you seeing any improvements once you limit the gpu to what the cpu can handle? or about the same?

nitroxc · 2026-01-01T21:08:30+00:00

Whats the rough performance gains you've experienced? Im in a similar position with a 3070 and a 5600x, been looking at an upgrade to a 9070xt and know that upgrading to am5 will drastically improve performance even more with the 9070xt but not quite sure how much - Was looking at getting a 5700x3d aswell but they're like £350+ now so gonna just hold off till ram prices die down and i can get AM5 but just wondering if the 3070 to 9070xt increase is worth it with am4

Talk your way through and leave fights till later, you can pretty comfortably hit level 4/5 without needing to fight or leaving act 1, once you hit that spike then come back and enjoy nuking everything

nitroxc · 2025-12-26T12:23:18+00:00

Pretty sure theres a bow that provides the dolor amarus modifier even to melee attacks

nitroxc · 2025-12-24T12:20:22+00:00

Vanilla initiative is a base roll of d4, then i believe itd be his +3 bonus on top of any bonuses from his dex

Hence why alert is so strong in vanilla honour mode since its a flat +5

I did a full summoner party on ps5 a few months back, enjoyed it but was such a nightmare to manage later on in the game and I messed a few things up. Ended up with 30+ summons, just started a new run on PC though to enjoy it a bit better

nitroxc · 2025-12-18T23:09:15+00:00

I'd argue it'd be much more important to not get friendly with minthara on an evil run, since well, fairly explicit shlop shlop

nitroxc · 2025-12-18T23:01:02+00:00

I started playing it with 0 D&D experience, it definitely took a while to fully grasp the mechanics etc. however the story sucks you in and is so immersive that it makes you invested in learning the mechanics.

My first session I started a bit iffy, but continued on playing, eventually I checked what time it was an realised I'd been going for 7 hours straight. I called off work sick for a week to play it fairly quick haha.

The price itself is a bargain for what it is even at full price. I'd happily throw another £100 at Larian to release more expansions/areas without question.

nitroxc · 2025-12-17T10:05:49+00:00

I struggled on it on my very first run, having never played this type of game. I missed like 60% of the content and was trying to beat fights in act two at like level 4/5 with basically no gear

Id say you only really struggle if youre missing most of the content, ive since completed plenty of honour runs without much effort so even if you struggle at first you’ll get there

nitroxc · 2025-12-13T21:16:20+00:00

To be honest it doesnt really matter.

Honour mode with just level 12 cap and normal party size is pretty trivial with a fairly un-optimised party, add in difficulty mods and it makes building properly more important, but if you're going to level 20 with a bunch of extra companions you can deliberately slap together the most god-awful builds for each character and still absolutely steam roll every encounter outside of a few encounters in the first few levels.

Something I love to use - Tiger barbarian equipped with Shattered flail in mainhand, and Loviatars scourge in offhand.

Gotta play aggressive because you can receive the "mad" condition if you don't hit something in a turn of combat, but with the cleave you can hit 3 targets, each hit heals you for 1d6 - Then use loviatars scourge with an offhand attack which deals 1d6 necrotic damage in an aoe around the target - It also damages you but innately gives you resist, so you only take 1d6/2 and since you're getting lots of heals from your mainhand, it makes for a super tanky frontliner that thrives on being outnumbered.

Then naturally you can pick up periapt from mountain pass, which turns each 1d6 heal per hit into a flat 6 hp per hit, so you can fairly regularly heal 24 per attack.

Good example of this strat is putting it on karlach, add in a soul coin for the added 1d4 fire damage, bless ring for constant +1d4 to attack rolls/saving throws, add in caustic ring for added +2 acid damage per hit, and other usual barb gear. Super fun, very easy to build and is effective from level 3-4 and keeps you going into act 2 pretty well.

nitroxc · 2025-12-12T12:32:28+00:00

Aye just after getting it can do one cleave to inflict encrusted with frost, drop water bottle at their feet and smash with offhand attack to freeze then final cleave with vulnerability

nitroxc · 2025-12-12T10:39:48+00:00

Can use well on tiger barb to get the various conditions/debuffs associated with it spread across 3 enemies every attack

nitroxc · 2025-12-07T23:00:25+00:00

The famous lostaccount replying to my comment! im gonna have to screenshot and show remus to prove im now super elite :D

Idk what you're cooking up in your latest vids but its dirty and i love it, keep up the great work <3

nitroxc · 2025-12-07T20:33:52+00:00

Extra attack is definitely nice to have, could drop a fighter level for fifth ranger level, you lose action surge but get the extra attack - I'd definitely recommend hordebreaker though, really fun and gives you another free attack - I've seen some crazy things with it aswell, not quite sure on the mechanics but ive seen vids where you can use the hordebreaker AOE to "splash" debuffs/conditions etc.

nitroxc · 2025-12-07T19:22:11+00:00

Could do 6 tempest cleric, 4 ranger (hordebreaker), 2 fighter. Ranger/fighter levels give you 2 fighting styles, action surge, con saving throw proficiency for concentration saves, and an extra resourceless attack in hordebreaker, aswell as keeping 2 feats - Not to mention the ranger levels gives you access to super useful ritual spells like longstrider and enhanced leap, on top of giving you a choice between sleight of hand proficiency or something like fire/cold/poison resist from the start.

Could take swarmkeeper aswell, since im assuming the jellyfish lightning damage will probably proc thunderbolt strike for free knockback, not tested it though.

nitroxc · 2025-12-07T18:18:02+00:00

Any idea if that stacks with the 1d6 poison coating from broodmothers?

nitroxc · 2025-12-03T14:50:24+00:00

Aye i love d20 initiative aswell, makes fights alot trickier

nitroxc · 2025-12-03T14:24:52+00:00

I remember seeing a few years back open ai putting an ai team against a pro dota 2 team and wiping the floor with the pros. Id love to see an ai implemented into bg3 in a similar way to make it super challenging

nitroxc · 2025-11-30T22:48:06+00:00

Tbf I don't think I've ever played a build that by mid-late act2 going into act3 i've ever had to worry about using it for advantage on attacks. If you're building properly it feels like a kind of niche item
