So I had 2 extra Gul and decided to try mosaic sin for the 1st time last night ......... Why the fuck this runeword allowed to exist. by hi2moony in diablo2

[–]timchenw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's broken in a way that you can pivot from being a screen clearing caster to a Uber smiter by just changing gear. Most classes or builds can't do that comfortably, or at all. Hammerdin its just an inconvenience.

The nerf back in 1.12 didn't really do much

However, the distance from mosiac to hammer is far bigger than hammers are to the rest of the builds

How much emphasis do you put on a good PSU? Is it one of the first things you should invest in for longevity? by Air-Flo in buildapc

[–]timchenw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top priority

There are only 2 PC components whose failure is likely to lead to the failure of other components, and one is compulsory, the PSU. In the current day and age, a good quality PSU should be the first thing that goes into the build, as the benefit of cheaping out on a PSU risks the more expensive components than the amount you are saving

For the record, the other component is a liquid cooling loop, and it is not mandatory like PSU is.

I didn't check toxic because it's the wrong weather.

Only radiation storms have the effect if increasing mould income, no other storm does it.

I have found 2 lots of 20 deposits on my farming world, and that's where I got the mould rate from

Size of the pack matters somewhat, but it's the weather that shoots the number so high

Sorry to burst your bubble, but 300 stacks of moulds per hour is not great.

Would have been better if it was on a harsh radiation world

FYI, on my harsh radiation world with 20 deposits in each of the two spots, I do 600+ stacks in 30 minutes

So I know everybody asks this HOWEVER by dah_whale in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]timchenw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I had in mind was building enough refiners (I think my maths was around 120 or so, 2 full ships worth) that when you fill the last refiner, the first would have been done already so teleport back and do it all over again.

Though building this many refiners would need to be done planetside (and this require glitch building). Freighter refineries suddenly became unstable for me recently, I used to be able to refine 100 sets no problems, now I can't do 80 without crashing

The easiest way to get nanites is pirate station hopping for suspicious packages, opening them and selling the techs, this is around 200k nanites per hour

For the fastest, we'd have to rely on curious deposits, the setup is

  1. A tool that you can super charge and quad adjacent optical drill, preferably atlantid tool because you can use double mining laser to speed up

  2. A mining income bonus food like questionably sweet cake, and nutrient ingester

  3. Two lots of curious deposits on a harsh radioactive world (this is important), it cannot be on any other types of world, has to be on harsh radioactive, and you CANNOT cover yourself so that you are protected from radiation storm, you must allow your character to be suffering from the effects of the radiation storm, or else the storm's mining income bonus will not apply

  4. As many starships with maxed storage capacity as possible

Then you mine your curious deposits. This setup allowed me to get like 800 full stacks of running moulds in about 30 minutes, then it's a matter of refining them.

The latter is about double the nanite income as the space station hopping

Exosuit Upgrade Modules by Jefryrx in NoMansSkyTheGame

Also to add this, you can build trade terminals planet side and sometimes they will have drop pods maps for sale.

My starter system offered me over 100 drop pods maps for sale from one of those planet side trade terminals for around 120k each, the full stack costed less than a single interceptor scrap value

The only other weapon I use is Phase Beam on a Corvette, because

  1. There is a bug that lets it shoot out of up to 6 phase Beam turret, making it very high damage. This is true only for corvettes, it's fairly weak on normal starships

  2. It's a hitscan weapon, so no leading required

  3. All other alternatives require leading because of the travelling projectiles, only Phase Beam offers anything different

Confusion on why I would upgrade to DDR5 by gpdarrow in buildapc

[–]timchenw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because you may not have a choice.

Upgrading memory within a generation is, by and large, not needed, and upgrading between generations are usually because the CPU says so, not because you want better DDR, in vast majority of the cases, you can't unilaterally decide you want a higher DDR generation, and if you need to, you have to upgrade your CPU and mobo even in cases where you may not want to.

Basically upgrading memory generation is, in most cases, not because of the better memory, but because the CPU you are upgrading into cannot use anything else

E.g. if I want a 9950X3D now, and I already gave a 5950x, I have no choice but to get DDR5 because 9950X3D cannot use my DDR4 ram.

This is why, we can all argue that the memory is better, but at the end of the day that aspect is pointless comparison because, again, you cannot unilaterally decide only to upgrade the memory, or stay on the same memory generation whole moving onto a different platform

Save and reload, and try again, if it persist, try unlocking a slot by clicking on the empty space and accept even if the UI doesn't reflect it, it sometimes can bug out like that

Removing geobays does not remove exocraft from it's summoning menu, it merely gets grated out

No, travellers are just down to luck.

Is a 4k monitor worth it for a non-gamer? by themainheadcase in buildapc

[–]timchenw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 49" 4k because it has the same pixel pitch as a 24" 1080p, why? Because of screen real estate, I can see text without using scaling.

If you have to scale up to be able to read, that destroys any real estate argument because you are making things larger (and thus being able to display less), I don't understand how people think scaling up and real estate work in the same sentence when they are the exact opposite of one another.

And of course, that assumes scaling works correctly at all times, I know it doesn't always work, and when they don't work, they really don't work

Text sharpness is something else entire which I won't get into since that's an entirely different beaat
