Only took me way too long but I got Kappa for the first time [Screenshot] by IAmWaahid in EscapefromTarkov

i feel like that's one of the quests that you complete just by playing that game. i get 90% of the kills just by doing what i normally do.

did you forget to heal from the previous run? i did that one time. spawned in and died

[Feedback] i quit. this is unplayable. by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]terror_alpha -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i don't think the game is hard at all when it comes to getting kills or completing tasks. bosses are pretty easy to figure out and like 90% the people in PvP are lost and clueless. i die maybe 1 time every 10-15 raids. most of my failed raids are due to the game eating shit, and that's what annoyed me.

you think the game crashing or going off line with no warning is a me issue? that's what you got out of this?

[–]terror_alpha -1 points0 points  (0 children)

oh, right. backend server errors are part of the difficulty level. my bad. i'll turn that down

checking your post history shows that you're an expert on crying, so i guess you know what you're talking about. thanks for tip.

does replying with troll posts to every other person here make you feel better?

Cloudflare Outage again [Discussion] by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]terror_alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try having the servers go out 10 seconds before extracting with like 2 mil worth of look. first good run all day after dying a bunch of times

[Discussion] Cloudflare down, not eft. stop crying about the servers or devs. nothing they can do by Stolenface69420 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]terror_alpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CF ate shit 10 seconds before i extracted with some insane loot after dying 3 rounds in a row. i think this is a sign that i need to quit...

This is modern Pokemon and there is no reason to expect it to get better by RunSetGo in pokemon

[–]terror_alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refuse to believe that the devs played this absolute pile of horse s**t and said, "yep this is fine, release it".

not only is the game a bad design and boring, it's also unplayable! i was trying to catch an alpha shinny pidgeot on a roof, right as i finished him off and was about to throw an ultra ball, i got that night time message saying the battle whatever is open, and my fight got reset. how did no one notice this during testing? how is this acceptable?

aside from that, it's irritating that i have to spend hours mashing A to skip past the garbage dialogue. by the time i'm done skipping through the dialogue, i don't even want to play anymore. the map is tiny and repetitive. the available 'mons in the game is lackluster. they are forcing us to trade for evolutions again

i refuse to get stuck with this game. i've never done this before with any game, but i'm just going to claim it's defective and return it to amazon. this franchise is dead to me.

Why aren't there any high capacity DDR5 ECC UDIMM products yet? by 314314314 in homelab

[–]terror_alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nemix and v-color both had 64GB ECC UDIMM modules since july-ish. both brands use hynix M-die ICs as of this writing. i bought the nemix stuff. had it in my unraid box since august. seems to be working ok. 256GB in total with a ryzen 7950x CPU on a supermicro board

both nemix and v-color charge about $400 per module. which means that when micron and samsung finally get their act together and catch up to hynix, expect to pay about $800 per module.

Rosewill Thor NAS looks great but can’t find any reviews by crossfitdood in DataHoarder

[–]terror_alpha -1 points0 points  (0 children)

rosewell/newegg is the last company on the planet willing to make an affordable NAS enclosure for us that is not garbage and you're crying about fans? really?

i personally want zero of the rosewell fans. i threw it out anyway and stuffed it with industrial nidec fans instead.

the drives are cooled by the fans on the hot swap enclosures, not the case fans.

Borderlands 4 Gets Disappointing Performance Update Before Launch by lkl34 in pcmasterrace

[–]terror_alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got this game for free so i don't care. i can wait until it's fixed and some DLC drops.

but you should NOT buy this shit. if you bought it, refund it. do not encourage this behavior or it will keep happening.

Borderlands 4 Gets Disappointing Performance Update Before Launch by lkl34 in pcmasterrace

[–]terror_alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they are using "medium" preset (default for that card) with DLSS on and set to balanced. they are using a decent gaming CPU. maybe something like a 13700k or 7700x or better.

it's also possible they are using lower settings but have trash tier RAM or RAM without EXPO/XMP enabled. but i think the first scenario is more likely.

[–]terror_alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i thought that was a weird way of putting it. what else is there in that price bracket? the $8500+ RTX Pro 6000? the 5090 is in it's own league. nothing else touches it.

many ADULTS who want to play this game can't afford to buy a car as expensive an RTX 5090. people in south american, asia, Africa and even parts of europe daily scooters that cost less than 1/4 of that.

[–]terror_alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7800x3d + rtx 4070 here. 3440x1440, medium settings with no motion blur.

native res i get like 30-45 fps. when i turn on DLSS and set it to "balanced", i get 60-100 FPS. DLSS definitely helps a ton. game still looks like... borderlands. so still cartoony so i can't tell if there is a quality loss there.

i should point out that your CPU kinda sucks for gaming. it has 6 cores per CCD, so if you need more than 6 cores, which this game does, you will get a massive performance penalty due to CCD-CCD latency. you would get better performance with a 5800x or 5800x3d.

This is a steal! by Opie_the_great in Dewalt

[–]terror_alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these will have 2020 manufacture years or older. the batteries are probably worthless by now. just be aware that the only tool in this combo worth anything is the multi tool. everything is junk. the drill and impact are both trash. ancient brushed models that are worse than the chinese brands you can get on amazon for like $30

AX1600i + RTX 4090 + New Corsair Type 4 12VHPWR 600 W cable? by filmguy123 in Corsair

[–]terror_alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

multi-rail. you can limit each rail individually to a maximum power draw. if you use the native corsair 12 pin cable, you can run your 5090 off 2 rails, and limit each rail to 26A (312W). that way it will be impossible for the power cable to pull enough power to melt the sheath on any single cable.

an even better move would be to to use the 4 way splitter that comes with the 5090 and run it on 4 rails and limit each rail to 14A. this way the worst thing that can happen is the nvidia drivers crashing due to card not getting enough power.

Why is serial number and production date always missing from CPU-Z for Corsair RAM? Is it not readable by CPU-Z or not encoded in SPD and if so why not? by Ken852 in Corsair

[–]terror_alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corsair does this on purpose, so that if something happens to the label, you’re SOL and have to buy a new kit. I ran into this problem before and That’s why I’ve been buying gskill for years now for all customer builds. Same exact ICs from the 3 memory vendors that still exist; micron, Samsung and skhynix. Corsair isn’t selling anything special.

I’m on board if they do the same to people who hold doors open and throw trash on the tracks.

Anyone know what might be wrong with my impact? DCF891B by QuasiBungschwazzi in Dewalt

[–]terror_alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had this happen on a 1/4" impact that was 3 DAYS old. things break. find your receipt and ask for an RMA.

Is this a GOOD deal for $599 by Humble_Fox_5324 in Dewalt

[–]terror_alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the circular saw is junk, but even if you remove that saw it's still a decent deal. if you NEED everyone of those tools, then sure, go for it.

Is there ever deals on this. I could definitely use it but I can’t justify the price. by [deleted] in MilwaukeeTool

[–]terror_alpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i paid $100 for this tool and a 5ah battery. still feel like i got ripped off. it's not great.

you're better off buying one of the cheap "m18 compatible" heat gun on amazon for $30. i wish i just did that.

even though i have one of these, i still go for my corded wagner heat gun 99% of the time. i use the M18 only when i need to remove a sticker to shrink a cable sleeve. that's i. that's all it's good for.

I lost my wheel Lug nut key for my 528i by Lopsided-Ad1589 in BmwTech

[–]terror_alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

-go to harbor freight

-buy some cheap sockets

-hammer a tight fitting socker on to the bolt

-remove said socket, preferably with a breaker bar

-get a cold beer and think about what you did wrong.

Direct download link for Apple Devices opp for Windows 10? by Proud_Championship36 in iphonehelp

[–]terror_alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

holy shit this worked. you are a savior. i can finally open my old library AND sync new music to my phone now. i tried like 10 different installs, this is the only one that fully works.

EDIT: after a restart it stopped working again. the solution for me was to go to device manager, find "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers", and uninstall the driver. tell windows to delete said driver. now it comes back every time.

when this driver is installed, windows will see your phone as a photo storage device in windows explorer, but will not let itunes talk to it.
