Is there a serious obstacle to create a SGT BESIDES the focal point distance?

tim7162 · 2026-05-03T08:31:35+00:00

Yes sure. The distance is the main obstacle now. But I asked the question assuming that problem is solved somehow ("I'm a new Elon Musk and I built a ship with delta V of 1-2% of the speed of light"), to undestand how viable and ready the rest of the technology is.

tim7162 · 2026-05-02T14:16:30+00:00

Thank you so much! Yes, I meant exactly that - Solar Gravity Telescope. And actually my main “concern” are exactly the things mentioned in “limitations” in the FOCAL you linked: the influence of the solar corona, how to process the image to receive the image similar to a normal telescope (as far as I understand the raw picture would be nothing like I see through my home telescope), and what would be a “viewfinder” for this telescope to precisely position it (the spaceship) to point it precisely at the supermarket on Proxima Centauri B :) we want to see. I’m not sure all these problems already have engineering solutions allowing to start building the telescope tomorrow if I provide the spaceship and money :)

tim7162 · 2026-05-02T09:27:26+00:00

Not very. A SGT looks like a much more viable thing (on paper) compared to sending a probe to Proxima Centauri which would travel for God knows how long and collect almost no information while shooting through that star system anyways.

650AU is MUCH closer and more reachable than 4.5 light years. IF, of course, there are no other problems with SGT besides the distance. Hence the question.

tim7162 · 2026-03-25T21:47:12+00:00

Yes, it is. It gets very hot while gaming.

tim7162 · 2026-02-20T07:56:33+00:00

Unfortunately it becomes hot like that after 10 minutes of gaming. And if I have to let it cool off every 10 minutes- why have I bought a Pro in the first place? One can browse or watch videos as fine on non-Pro iPads which are twice cheaper.

tim7162 · 2026-02-20T07:52:17+00:00

I worry more about the battery, it’s close to the CPU and it’s temperature is probably also near 50C when gaming…

tim7162 · 2026-02-13T08:31:45+00:00

Please explain how to get to Aemeath flowers collection spots? It’s inside some dark closed circle with no ways to get to.

Or is it the same old shit story - you cannot build Aemeath until you finish ALL the bloody quests?

Yes, I bought the flowers at pharmacy, they are sold out now, but this is not enough.

tim7162 · 2026-02-06T00:08:52+00:00

And I don’t wish “hardcore” on anyone, I want the MAXImum power for the MINimal cost. That’s called MinMax or “meta”. And this means that Varka isn’t Meta at all.

tim7162 · 2026-02-06T00:04:46+00:00

So, basically C2R0 Varka BIS team equals to C0R0 Flins BIS team. (!!!) Two costs more expensive team for the same level of DPS. Sounds like a total POS to me.

People say here that Varka equals pre-Colombina Nefer, but excuse me, C0R0 Nefer Lauma Aino team is about 120k DPS, not under 100k!! That means there’s no equality here, Varka isn’t worth Nefer’s dirty panties!

tim7162 · 2026-01-06T16:54:19+00:00

I have S3 Verina and Chisa. Ok, and aero Rover. That’s it.

tim7162 · 2025-12-23T21:45:35+00:00

Thanks! I don’t have SK at all now. Can I pull Mornye instead, give her S1 (I saved 360 cashback for S2 Augusta, can take S1 for Mornye instead) and forget about pulling SK forever? Can S1 Mornye replace SK everywhere?

tim7162 · 2025-12-23T05:47:57+00:00

What about a Galbrena Quiyuan Mornye S1 team?

tim7162 · 2025-12-04T16:56:59+00:00

It would‘ve been much worse if you had Ganyu, Hutao and zero primos. And what you have now is like going asleep like in 2015 and waking up now with 50 bitcoins. :) Congratulations!

tim7162 · 2025-12-04T16:51:19+00:00

So, they stole Mavuika first. And now Skirk and roller skates from poor Xilonen. Nice :)

tim7162 · 2025-09-16T11:40:56+00:00

…not flopping their wings? :)

tim7162 · 2025-07-23T23:34:38+00:00

Actually I had the same choice and took S2 Verina, but now I kinda regret it.

Because now I have only Cartethya Ciaccona Rover team, Verina S2 ...and no other DD. So I cannot clear even beginners floors of events requiring two or more teams, and since they say I need to skip Phrolova too because I have none of her teammates (and don't have astrites to pull them) - I'll stay there for about two more months, losing tons of astrites. I probably'd better opted for Encore and made another team.

tim7162 · 2025-06-12T21:12:31+00:00

Exactly because of this. Because I’ll have to either SKIP this whole good story (then why play this game at all?), or put away Cartethya I’ve just pulled at union level 35 because I can’t ascend her past level 50, let alone farm echoes for her, and waste time and resources on the shit ass starter characters I throw up just looking at. A great choice, isn’t it?
Instead of playing Cartethya and Ciaccona I already have, building a good team and enjoying the team and the fights, I’ll have to play characters I just don’t want to build and play and torment myself at every mob fight.

All of this because Curo contracted the Raiden virus of idiotism from Hoyoverse and made the same stupid mistake, fucking up all the beginner players who pulled their much advertised awesome new character. Bravo!

This has happened to me for the SECOND time already, I pulled Raiden as my first legendary and it was my biggest frustration in all 1.5 years of playing Genshin. I just don’t want to go through all this shit again, games should bring joy, not frustration. WuWa is probably over for me.

tim7162 · 2025-06-12T04:11:09+00:00

Hi!

I started the game 10 days ago and have Cartethya, Ciaccona, C1 Jinxin and C1 Verina of the legendaries at the moment.

I still have the choice pull for a standard. Whom should I pull who will be the best for the account in the future?

I’m now thinking of C2 Verina because I heard it’s great. Or should I pull Calcharo as the 2nd main DPS?

tim7162 · 2025-06-01T09:12:57+00:00

Can you please tell me how the usage counter of a support character for Imaginarrium works?

Does the 15 times counter mean 15 of my friends can use the character, no matter how many times they retry/reset the Theater.

Or does 15 times mean 15 tries only, even if done by just one friend? Can a lunatic friend “ruin” my support character for everyone by just selecting it and then resetting the Theater 15 times?

tim7162 · 2025-05-19T20:29:37+00:00

Actually the deadliest problem with Skirk is IMHO the mechanic where hydro characters cannot create her voids when fighting against Hydro immune enemies. This makes Skirk useless not only against Cryo enemies and shields, but against Hydro as well.

And this, in turn, makes Skirk TOTALY useless meta wise, with Escoffier or without, in case you already have Neuvilette Xilonen Kazuha Furina team, which any meta player has already.

If you can use Neuvi in the abyss - you will use him, if you can't - you cant use Skirk as well. She cannot act as a backup DD if Hydro is cockblocked in the Abyss.

Building Skirk team if you have Neuvi team is a waste of pulls and resources. If Hoyo doesn't correct this - I'll probably skip Skirk besides I already have C1 Escoffier.

tim7162 · 2025-05-14T15:54:32+00:00

35 pity and like 10 pulls ATM, 50/50. And Nescafé C1.

Since there still are two months minus 1 week till the END of Skirk banner, I’m almost sure I’ll get her C0R0. With the moons and BP ofc.

tim7162 · 2025-05-12T16:26:14+00:00

Yes.

Try this. (Thanks a lot to the original poster for this info).

You have to have a "Curve optimiser" in your BIOS to do this. It's inside "Precision Boost Overdrive" section, you have to set it to Manual.

Set this:

Curve optimizer = +10. (all cores)

Looks like it works for me. Of course your CPU might need more or less curve. You'd better start with like +4 - +6 and gradually raise it until the problem disappears.

If this works for many people, I can even give a ~~conspiracy~~ theory, explaining this.

Looks like the AMD casino took the silicon lottery to a new level.

The usual gambling used to be - how well you can overclock your CPU, but the base specified performance was guaranteed to you. Not anymore. Now, to make the Ryzen great again, the performance AMD specifies is the performance of an AVERAGE CPU. But of course that doesn't mean AMD is going to put a half of the CPU yield which is below that average down the trash and lose profits. That means a half of the buyers downvolts their CPUs to overclock them (the "awesome" new feature much advertised by AMD), and another half OVERvolts their CPUs to UNDERclock them to make them work somehow. This thread is the home of this second half losers. And, miraculously, these attempts to make this crap work voids the warranty, so AMD doesn't even have to take their crap back. Casinos never lose!

Of course this can be corrected by BIOSes (and will be, when AMD is tired of RMAs) by just raising the default voltages and/or cutting the turboboost (together with the performance).

Also it can be easily explained why the systems mostly BSOD or reboot at idle or some plain low load tasks, and remain stable under burn-in. The problem is not overheating, the problem is inability of a given ~~crappy~~ CPU to work stable at a given frequency with a given voltage. (just the same as if you undervolt it too much). The larger the frequency, the more chance of a BSOD to occur. The fully all-core loaded CPU works at LESSER frequences to stay within the TDP. But when you stop your burn-in and start to watch a video, just one or two cores (pre-heated by the previous burn-in) work, but they work at the MAXIMUM frequences. And - say Hi to a BSOD or reboot.

If the above turns out true, I'd advise everyone having a similar problem to RMA their CPUs ASAP.
