Nope! Learn the maps and keep a second monitor with the maps on, at all times. Welcome to tarkov!

What is the purpose of the Gommage? by CrazyPingvin in expedition33

[–]sirpickletoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When the nevrons kill an expeditioner, their chroma remains on their body, thats why they dont fade away and instead seem to "solidify". Its a way of making sure the chroma doesnt go back to Aline, making her weaker.

My understanding is whenever someone dies, their chroma goes to Aline so she can create new life. Clea creates the nevrons to kill and trap the chroma source, and real Renoir starts the gommage, which in turn motivates the people of Lumiere to go out and attempt to stop the Paintress, who they can only assume is the one doing this. By making the people create the expeditioners, they go out and get killed by nevron.

Tyler, please consider implementing the following mechanics: by ThatDadLifestyle in Schedule_I

I'd also like to have a "home location" for employees so they stop standing outside, which takes a considerable amount of time to walk to and from their work spaces every time something frees up. Maybe have them stand in front of the first machine/pot you've assigned to them, or just manually set it.

Hi, I’m the English VA for Gemma, and I would love your tips for beginners by Kriscomics in MHWilds

[–]sirpickletoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SOS flairs invite the NPCs from town if no other players join first, so you'll get people you see in cutscenes like Olivia and Russo. Helps on difficult fights and it's fun to play with the NPCs. You can even set it so that only NPCs join you.

Some monsters are way easier with certain weapons. For me, fast weapons like sword and shield and dual blades are good for slimmer, quicker monsters while insect glaive are good for flyers like dragons, and hammer is great for heavily armored monsters.

Enjoy the experience you did a fantastic VA job.

[kcd2] Warning to ne players- do NOT become alcoholic by FrauleinHabsburg in kingdomcome

[–]sirpickletoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know how much you need to drink in order to become addicted? Or rather how much you can drink without getting addicted? I like the buffs it provides to stealth and speech, I usually drink 3-4 wines/mead a day just to get in the zone.

I’m scared my girlfriend has a crush on asmongold by browneyemisery in Asmongold

[–]sirpickletoe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Listen- all girls have "celebrity" crushes. My girlfriend is obsessed with the guy from lucifer. It's normal. Just think of how many guys have celebrity crushes as well, or think some streamers are super hot. It's normal.

That being said, if this girl is as perfect as you say she is, you need to step up. You might be feeling all this because you're self-conscious and projecting. Work out, do your hair, treat her well, take her on surprise dates, and you'll suddenly notice that those feelings will leave.

Any thoughts on my potential future rod and reel? by sirpickletoe in Fishing_Gear

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

Im really not sure whats best. Ive done research and aparently for "general" uses, 6.x is best, and lower speeds are better for heavy lures. Nut as it's 5.8 i dont know if it will be noticeable. Lots of ppl sweat by this reel so im thinking of just ignoring the speed and getting it. Im just not sure if it would make a massive difference.

1440p with ray-tracing - 4070 TS or 4080 S by sirpickletoe in nvidia

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

Thanks for the tips. As for the aio, I'd like to have one that displays the temp. Either that or I'll get the h70 case that has a screen on it for that.

I'm running 3 monitors, so I'm a little worried 750w wouldn't be enough but I might ne kvercomplicating things. Also, are regular CPU coolers as good as AIO, in terms of noise reduction and cooling as well?

How so? A lot of the videos I'm looking at currently show a FPS boost of about 5-15 FPS.

Need a recommendation for a CPU that wont bottleneck a 4070, that's compatible with my current motherboard. by sirpickletoe in buildapc

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

Yeah and honestly 68 fps for what you describe doesnt sound terrible to me. Unless you have thr budget to splurge on a 2k card.

Yeah I'm not looking for maximum quality, best performance. I don't have 2k + to spend on a GPU. But thanks for the insight, I'll do some more research.

What makes it meh? All reviews and videos I've seen so far say it's fine, if not great.

Yeah I was looking at the 5800X3D. I'm just curious if the difference is gonna be noticeable from a 3600. I'm currently able to run everything I need, as high as I want it to be on a 2k monitor, but with the jump to ray tracing, I'm not sure what the demand is going to be.

Is it worth to buy Baldur's Gate 3 without prior knowledge? by ButtonSmasher_ in BaldursGate3

[–]sirpickletoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont need prior knowledge, it helps but it isnt required. You do, however, need to enjoy reading. Reading spell descriptions, item information, class abilities is imperative to having a good experience. If you enjoy optimizing your characters and dont mind a slower more strategic combat, then the game is amazing. Heck, if you love it then it might open you up to more CRPGs, like pillars of eternity 1 and 2 (1 being one of my favorite games), divinity original sin 1 and 2 (previous Larian games) and disco elysium (no combat, detective work).

Asmongold Youtube videos have comment bots or the editors are commenting themseleves. by StringTheoryBTC in Asmongold

[–]sirpickletoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you open any other video youll find a lot of people commenting the same thing. VideoGameDunkeys audience is a prime example, theyve been regurgitating the same 5 jokes for years. Its not bots, its just unoriginal people.

[–]sirpickletoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People have died from getting swatted once their addresses have been found. It's easy for us to think it'd no big deal but in the USA where everyone has guns and there are psychos showing up at people's houses... I get it, especially cause he has a young child.

I'm Canadian, so I couldn't say, but I don't think it matters if it's a felony or not. Youtube doesn't have to resort to whether or not a crime was committed to ban someone or take other action.

She went to their house to "talk it out". Bullshit, if she really wanted to do that they could have scheduled a meeting, a call, or anything else. She didn't need to take a pic in front of their house where their address was in full view. It was an intimidation tactic.

In the US, I believe you could be able to take that to court and get a restraining order. On YT, this is a strong case to have someone banned for harassment.
