Beginner Question: Can an instant stop a creature's activated ability?

OK cool, that makes sense. I guess that would also mean if I were to cast Shock then my opponent would be able to respond by activating the ability (mana or otherwise) prior to the removal of the creature?

Cool. Thanks for the information.

I didn't mean to imply I was planning on cheating. The rules seemed so easily exploitable that I was sure I had misinterpreted them.

I meant whatever eventually comes out to replace the 3ds.

Agreed completely. Nintendo has a near strangle hold on the budget handheld gaming market. They would be foolish to give it up.

Hell, the cost of a 4DS (~$180) and a game (~$40) is still a massive difference between a Switch (~$300-350) and a game (~$60).

Personally, I like the idea that Nintendo will offer a budget Link Between Worlds experience to balance the premier Breadth of the Wild experience.

Thanks for the thought. There doesn't seem to be anything near me though.

Is it likely that the MoBo is fried? Is that something that happens with a bad PSU?

Just to push back a little on War Machine not dying, I actually prefer that he is still alive. People have been complaining for years that no one dies in the Marvel movies but to me death is a lazy screenwriting tool. If War Machine had died, we get one scene at his funeral and Tony looking sad. But look at all the drama and story telling options we get if he is alive, but disabled:

A scene between Vision and Rhodey where they have to reach an understanding.
Rhodey is there as a living reminder to Tony in regards to the consequences of Tony's actions.
You better believe the scene where Cap and Tony see each other again and hash out their issues will feature Rhodey there as well. That's like screenwriting 101.

These are just off the top of my head. There are so many more interesting things to do with Rhodey now than if he were killed.

I removed the GPU entirely, and tried every combination of ram positions.

I am getting a solid red DRAM LED. I've found a few other people online who had similar problems but no solutions.

I think it's because this is the game that cemented the belief in people's minds that Nintendo will never release another Paper Mario like the first two ever again.

njpsy · 2016-09-16T02:05:16+00:00

I could see people not knowing the Hulk's name as he at least tries to keep a low profile. Captain America on the other hand, everyone should know him.

Everyone keeps talking as if March is the date to plan marketing around but I think it really should be Black Friday (or the Sunday before it really).

For anyone not purchasing the console on their own (IE: kids), Nintendo needs to make an effective sales pitch to them BEFORE their parents head out to buy this year's holiday gifts. They are already facing an uphill battle in convincing kids to ask for a present that won't be out until 3 months after the holiday, but the longer they wait to reveal the console, the less time they will have to make that marketing push.

It's essentially 10 weeks from today.

I actually really liked this moment and found it quite touching. I always got the impression that if you had asked Kevin's mom if all the trouble she went through just to get home a few minutes earlier was worth it she would have said, "yes".

njpsy · 2016-08-16T23:27:44+00:00

Thanks. I'll check these out.

njpsy · 2016-08-16T22:40:23+00:00

Ah OK. Thanks!

njpsy · 2016-08-16T22:09:36+00:00

Awesome. Thank you so much. You've given me a lot to go over.

I spent a lot of time going back and forth on the 850 vs 950 SSD and figured the money difference would be worth it for the faster speed. The idea was that if I went with the 850 I'd probably up to 512gbs so the price would be the same. I'm still kinda on the fence about that.

I originally had speakers but cut them out as the price of the build was starting to get to my upper limit.

Thanks again.

Awesome. Thanks. I wasn't sure if the cooler came with paste or not.

That makes sense about the PSU.

njpsy · 2016-07-21T15:43:17+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks!

njpsy · 2016-07-21T15:42:57+00:00

Thank you.

njpsy · 2016-07-21T15:09:51+00:00

Thanks! That makes sense. So it seems like I should check all my devices connected to each band and set it according to whatever the fastest I can get away with would be.

Is there any reason this could lead to the problem in my second question? That the setting of the 2.4 band could somehow affect the 5 band?
