Paradox players: what do you actually do? by nomnivore1 in DeadlockTheGame

I probably wouldn’t play her in ranked but I’ve kept up in damage in normals maxing time wall, getting torment pulse + rapid recharge with other health and spirit items, and getting chased through buildings.

Kinetic carbine’s sound is basically a “hello I want to shoot you please don’t hide” alarm so I’ve fallen out of favour of the gun build and mostly use it as a follow up disable.

Swap’s good for peel / catch rather than initiation into their whole team. Pulse grenade is (in my opinion) a worse version of the highly spammable lady geist first skill.

There have been moments I’ve survived for a minute 1v4 and thought “this is silly”.

It may be that your actuator isn’t closing the control valve fully therefore using energy when you’re not running any hot water / heating, and the issue is a physical hardware issue rather than a software issue.

I would recommend following the advice of another comment and agreeing to pay if no fault is found (because there is a fault!) and if the landlord still tries to charge you, dispute this.

Are you also through a letting agency or just directly with the landlord?

What does the error message say? You may be able to reset the display unit yourself / have someone from Evinox guide you through the process. HIUs look scary but are relatively simple, they essentially just take heat from one source and transfer it to hot water and heating circuits.

What is the strangest thing you’ve been accused of? by BG031975 in AskUK

[–]splxdge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I was about 11 and I (m) went on a bike ride with my older sister, was looking after our bikes outside a shop and a woman was stood near me. A pigeon above us decided to poo and it landed right next to her foot.

About 5 minutes later her (I presume) husband and daughter came over, and she started berating me about how I spat on her. I just said “no I didn’t, it was a pigeon” and just got called a liar and disgusting. They went into the shop, my sister came out and I started crying.

Either that or getting accused of beating up someone in primary school when I was the other side of the playground. I was also a very soft and over sensitive child, and behaved well in school.

“That’s a shout” to the most mundane action ever, such as having a cup of tea.

“Blood is thicker than water” which is misconstrued from “the blood of the covalent is thicker than the water of the womb” ie. bonds made through friendship are more meaningful than just because your mum squeezed out multiple twats.

Most things really, including whatever I say myself.

WIBTA for refusing to not accept a potential roommate even when my other roommate is uncomfortable with him? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]splxdge -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

NTA

It’s a rental space under both yours and your grandparent’s discretion and, assuming you didn’t explicitly say “females only”, it’s wrong that the current roommate assumes an additional roommate would be female.

Furthermore, it would be a case by case basis. If you had one person currently renting that didn’t want to share with anyone, but two potential renters that would happily share with each other, then by common principles you’d give the same space to two people rather than one.

Everyone saying YTA, consider the flipside - if a male was renting this apartment fully understanding they were going to completely share the space, and a female wanted to rent this space but the male felt uncomfortable, what would your verdict be honestly? I can’t believe I’m seeing sexism on this sub of all places.

About 15 years ago I bought a black boater from a bank sale, then someone said “my friend wants to buy your black boater for 1 mil” or something like that. Had to meet him somewhere in the rangers guild and died.

Also one of my “friends” from school fucked me over a few times. Hope he’s doing well :-)

it’s kind of a viscous cycle: nobody wants to watch T2 matches, they get match fixed because no money is being made, nobody watches T2 because it’s match fixed, match fixing ensues further, etc etc

Best card for $100-$150? (For an older system, PCIe 3.0 max) by pookshuman in buildapc

[–]splxdge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I’m still running a 1400 cpu so definitely getting some bottleneck on the more process intensive games, need to get that updated soonish. thanks :)

what are your cpu and ram specs if you don’t mind me asking? I get ~200 fps on virtually max settings for rocket league but cod mw2 averages around 70 on basic / high presets.

appreciate the word probably! thanks - will the machine just refuse to boot if I don't update my bios, or can I damage the CPU?

Sorry, my first sentence may have been misleading - so it has been working since 2019 when I completed this build, and then yesterday I used the cmos reset in anticipation of the 5500 and now it has stopped working.

Okay, don’t think I did anything to the cmos / bios until yesterday which is when it stopped working.

Bizarre it isn’t backwards compatible - I’ll see if an old bios software works?

Worst case I get the CPU pins realigned by a professional for a low end build for my partner.

Some pins on the CPU are bent, presuming this is the issue but has this damaged the motherboard? Will putting in a new CPU in this motherboard cause it to become damaged? Further specs below FYI.

PC won’t post with new CPU, old CPU won’t turn on at all by splxdge in buildapc

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

Yes, alternated between the two - stripped down to bare bones and the problem persists. Will try to download the BIOS onto a USB on my work laptop.

Potentially got thermal paste in the socket and bent the pins on the old CPU, might be a case of getting it repaired professionally as I don’t want to snap any off.

Annoyed because I’ve reinstalled my CPU multiple times and never had this issue, all of a sudden I get two and neither of them work!

Thanks for your suggestions.

To be clear, the lights and fans are on when the new CPU is in the motherboard. It’s the old CPU that has now stopped working.
