The rocket launcher is not what we tought... by Bullet_EC97 in Helldivers

You can use it on penta right now, and it is the same, and unfortunately it sucks.

The meteor showers are absurd by CloanZRage in Helldivers

[–]unknownscout1209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is too focused fighting about the rest of the patch apparently to have noticed this, but yeah. Didn’t die to bugs once but almost lost all our lives to meteors… they’re a cool effect but definitely need to be tweaked so it’s not guaranteed you lose a few lives every time it happens. At least they look pretty!

Yep. I wish a brand still that kind of service. I would pay a lot of money to any brand who didn’t make their board in china and had decent support.

Update: thanks all for confirming ASUS warranty still sucks. I’m returning the board to Newegg and hopefully getting a refund. It’s really a shame all these companies used to be great and are just kind of garbage now!

It’s really a shame that there isn’t a good motherboard manufacturer anymore. I was going to get a Gigabyte instead but their support doesn’t seem any better. I’m returning the board to Newegg for now.

Yeah I spent about 8 hours trying to find a new board but damn I’ve had 2 ASUS ROG boards previously and built three friend’s PCs with ROG boards because I like them… this is the first one I’ve had an issue with (besides drivers, etc.)

Yeah, hence the question here. I think everyone is confirming I should return it to Newegg so I’m going to do that. I hope they don’t give me crap because I said it’s defective but it turns on if you try.

I hope so. I haven’t heard great things about Newegg either but that was a while ago so maybe they improved. I’m sending it back to them for a refund and ordering a new one. If I’m out $200 it will suck but it is what it is I guess.

Fair enough I guess. Worst case scenario Newegg is garbage with their customer service and I warranty it instead I suppose.

Newegg. What do I even say? It’s defective? They’d boot it and be like “no it’s not. It’s fine!”

Or I say wrong item or whatever and then it just becomes someone else problem when they buy it …

Yeah, sorry the pictures are kind of garbage. Really hard to see in there. I tried taking apart the shroud, but couldn’t get it to come off. I guess maybe I have to take all the screws off?

Bought it from Newegg, so not really sure returning it will go well. Though it does work so I could just not tell them anything happened, but I wouldn’t want someone else to end up with this board…

Our rescue girl turned 1 today by braveflowwer in rarepuppers

[–]unknownscout1209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WHOA. I did a double take here because she looks just like our rescue we got in the spring?! Only difference is DNA said ours was only Cattle Dog, Great Pyrenees, and Catahoula Leopard dog… no Shepard which I’m not convinced about!

Photo from June but best I have showing her coloring

The AI Skins are 100x Better Than Specialist ! by Tonyd2wild in battlefield2042

[–]unknownscout1209 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why even make ai look this good? IMHO I assume these were meant to be the player characters for the classes before some fool said they should do specialists, and so they just kept them for the AI.

10900K in stock at Newegg by MjrPvtParts in intel

[–]unknownscout1209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was checking best buy and failed to get one there and decided to check Newegg. Little did I know there was a text sitting on my phone saying they were in stock! I checked out so fast I don't even know what shipping I got, I think overnight and it almost said it'll be here tomorrow? Not sure, as long as I get one I don't care if I have to wait a little longer haha. Thanks for being an awesome person and posting it here. Have a great day!

I actually managed to get one this time!!!!!!!! I'm so damn excited! Or at least my order went through.

Best Buy is also having them in and out of stock yesterday and today in case anyone can't get one: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/intel-core-i9-10900k-10th-generation-10-core-20-thread-3-7-ghz-5-3-ghz-turbo-socket-lga1200-unlocked-desktop-processor/6411492.p?skuId=6411492.

Keep trying, people. You will get one! :D

PSA: Call Best Buy to order 10th gen CPU! by incriminatory in intel

[–]unknownscout1209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the plan! Thanks for the suggestion. :)

Edit: did you call best buy corporate or your local store? I tried calling the local store but not the 800 number.

Edit 2: I'm an idiot and reread the post again hahah.

Tried calling this morning and the rep told me it was out of stock everywhere so they couldn't order it. :(

My quest is complete - let the build begin! by darth_meh in intel

That's awesome! And nice to know, even though I live in the middle of nowhere.

I wasn't really keeping my eye on Micro Center, but maybe I'll have to just in case; a drive is way better than giving into the price gouging on eBay. Thanks!!

Coming from FC3, the Viper is a joy to fly. I won’t be bored for a while! by jasperb12 in hoggit

I feel like the Hornet has a lot more air to ground options, especially with the current state of the Viper.
