[Build Complete] First time build, new gaming rig (I call her my ultralisk) by harvey-birdmanin buildapc

[–]harvey-birdman[S] 0 points1 point ago

Thank! Probably are from Ikea. I rent and the place came with this furniture...

\o :)

I'm really happy with the case. It made cable management a breeze and gives some good options with components, fan setup etc. The side window is also great to show off the insides.

Yeah, the game does look beautiful on high settings but its best for watching pro matches. For playing, it's a bit too much visual noise.

Haha, hadn't seen that before. But yep I'm a zerg fanboy.

Games have been going well although sc2 is one game that I actually prefer on low-medium settings and it scaled down well on my laptop.

20 yr old female here! How do I make a "booty call" without seeming desperate? by arrneedbootayin sex

[–]harvey-birdman 15 points16 points ago

"I'm horny, let's fuck".

If after reading that the guy thinks "ehh, I'd rather not, I think you're craving it a bit too much" then he's doing it wrong.

[build request] need a d3 pc for girlfriend, 650 usd limit on cost. Please assist! by ventusinvictusin buildapc

[–]harvey-birdman 0 points1 point ago

how dare you not build a pc for me. And no I will not go to /r/buildapcforme and no I will not do my own research.

Unless for some inexplicable reason you need to buy the parts within the next 20 min, just use the links others have already posted to you and check the rest out when you're at a desktop.

Here is the logical increments guide which will give a rough estimate of specs vs price. However, you are going to end up with a less optimized and likely more expensive build unless you do some legwork and research + shop around. /r/buildapc is a resource, not a solution.

What's the best deal for a pc or laptop that can play diablo 3? by Rizukenin buildapc

[–]harvey-birdman 0 points1 point ago

If you're looking for better bang-for-buck on gaming then absolutely PC beats laptop without question. A laptop is only justified if you really need the mobility. Even then, I'd still recommend a good cheaper value gaming pc + a moderately priced netbook for portable non-gaming needs.

Read the FAQ, read the side bar, pick some components and people can critique. When you make your next post please include more info as well to get some better targeted advice:

Tell me I'm just crazy and wasting money... by Riddla26in buildapc

[–]harvey-birdman 2 points3 points ago

Yeah that'd be very very hard to justify. Only reason would be if you have too much money (and even then there's hookers and coke).

Just price vs performance it simply cannot be justified given the rig you already have.

Does this happen to anyone else? by iiinfiniteblissin sex

[–]harvey-birdman 3 points4 points ago

Was actually just wondering if it was only a guy thing. although I'm a guy and this only happens to me about 20% of the time at most. Very common but not universal.

Why you shouldn't let up on Blizzard, even if they don't deserve it by ReK_in Games

[–]harvey-birdman 0 points1 point ago

It's a shame as never having played diablo I thought this one would be cool to try. But on principal I don't buy if I disagree with the features and always online is a massive negative for me. Same reason I never got assassins creed or the newer prince of Persia.

Fortunately, I've got plenty else to play.

[Build Complete] Diablo 3 Rig - Ivy - 680 - Triple Screen -- HD STREAMING by ocase1990in buildapc

[–]harvey-birdman 1 point2 points ago

You can ask away (although I'm about to sleep so may not get back to you but I'm sure others will).

For the fans you can connect them to the mobo and control them through software/BIOS. If you mean the header knob on the front, you instead connect your fans to it's own cables.

The knob's cables come with a cover. You have to take those off to connect the fan's cable pins. You can use the molex connector to power up the knob from the PSU.

To be honest, I've hooked up my fans to the header knob for the heck of it but you might get more utility out of controlling the fans through software e.g. linking fan speed to a target temp.

Awesome build. I got a 600t myself and love it. I can see why it's so popular, especially for first time builders.

So once you get past Server issues... how is Diablo 3? by Sladeakakevinin Games

[–]harvey-birdman 0 points1 point ago

Honest question; is that really true? I've never played diablo but the story of wc3 and SC 1 were IMO definitely not cheesy and had some pretty awesome and some really grim moments along with some twists that I didn't expect. And being able to play story campaigns for zerg and undead really "humanized" the so called bad guys rather than just making it typical good vs evil.

I can't be the only one who absolutely despises Blizzard, can I? by Anon2971in Games

[–]harvey-birdman 1 point2 points ago

Do you have a source for how the companies interact in an interview or something? Or is this you own observation and speculating?

I can't be the only one who absolutely despises Blizzard, can I? by Anon2971in Games

[–]harvey-birdman -2 points-1 points ago

Well that completely sidestepped the discussion. The exact same argument you use can be said for ea or any other producer that pulls sit on customers to get more money. Argue against OP's points, don't just use redundant one liners.

[–]harvey-birdman 6 points7 points ago

His basic arguments are still valid regardless of language. I agree here, a comment completely ignoring the underlying points and simply saying "this isn't worth getting that angry about" is very poor discussion and should not warrant being a top comment.

OPs arguments vary in validity and number of counter points. Those should be discussed rather than suggesting that if it's a luxury purchase or if you deem it to be a non essential then OP doesn't have the right to get annoyed with sub par features.

To the ladies of Reddit: Would this intimidate or disgust any of you? by throwawayrichardin sex

[–]harvey-birdman 0 points1 point ago

Well that's the thing, is easier said than done. Telling someone to just get motivated enough to not be shy around girls is like simply telling someone to get over their fear of spiders or what have you. For most guys (of course not all) who are in this situation, approach anxiety and a general lack of conversation finesse is quite a big roadblock and the only advice most other subreddits offer is to just try harder or keep talking to more girls till something happens. that advice is ok but many guys are looking for a more detailed breakdown.

It's like trying to improve your skills as a public speaker. Sure one way is to simply give more speeches and visit r/gemotivated till you're good. Another way is to just go to a speech coach.

Off course it's the individual's responsibility to pick the advice that he thinks is good or works for him. Just like it would be his own responsibility to pick a good speech coach in my example.

This is aside from the fact that "getting laid" is the stereotypical view of sedditors on the rest of Reddit.that's true for some of them but others have different goals. Some are there to find a long term relationship. Others are there to get a better social awareness in general. it's also more recently has some girl sedditors who are there to read into how done guys think. Personally a lot of the advice there has taught me how to be more confident at work and also get more engaged in small talk that previously I always used to think was very banal.

Capcom Re-Evaluating Company's On-Disc DLC Policy by NDN_Shadowin Games

[–]harvey-birdman 1 point2 points ago

I'm going to disagree here. There's no rule that they have to package day one DLC with the game but not doing so is a pretty scummy move. Development cost went into the game and the DLC at the same time. It's just a move to get more money out if the same amount of work by packaging bits of the game separately. It's market practice to expect that you are paying for a full game and not having to pay extra for something that was artificially cut out and made as an add on.

For now as well it might be mostly minor DLC like extra accessories in game but I'm against this business model. I'd rather not have game companies believing that it might be ok to cut out more important bits in future or start charging later for patches our minor updates. I vote with my wallet on this and will always encourage others to do the same.

[–]harvey-birdman 5 points6 points ago

Being downvoted for an opinion, stay classy Reddit.

I would recommend seddit but with a grain of salt. A lot of advice there is bad but a lot of it is also good, stuff like just going out and talking to as many people as possible, acting confident, tips on banter and conversation etc. if you can pick out the good from the bad then I think seddit offers some good advice

No build is complete without this.. by houserlsin buildapc

[–]harvey-birdman 14 points15 points ago

Ignore the comments here, mod that case however you like, including with that sticker. I think it's cool having that pride in building your own machine.

For this Subreddit it might be an easy process but people in this Subreddit seem to have forgotten how much effort goes into a build, particularly if it's a first build.

And I find it odd that they'll praise stuff like led fans, colour schemes and individually sleeved cables but will hate on a sticker... wtf?!

Valve, Blizzard Reach DOTA Trademark Agreement. Valve wins! by lnlslin DotA2

[–]harvey-birdman -1 points0 points ago

Wow, no ones upset... That's reading a hell of a lot into some comments discussing the post. Since when can we not discuss OP's description, esp since its his interpretation of that article rather than the actual headline.

Personally I do think it's a misleading description to say valve "won". Blizzard wasn't forced to do anything. They willingly settled. They picked an IMO far better name for their own IP and let valve take ownership of IP that blizzard would have spent massive amounts on for only possibly gaining ownership. No drawn out legal battle and they can spend more resources on game development.

I don't think valve alone "won" or "beat" blizzard. It's simply a win all around.

Update from the cough drop cunnilinguist by Worst_Lover_Everin sex

[–]harvey-birdman 1 point2 points ago

...

Not sure if very elaborate troll or just utterly clueless.

But still, I'd rather give redundant advice to a troll than risk someone's actual problem being dismissed by accident.

Heed the advise you're getting here, or don't. But if so many people are telling you your approach is off and you need to talk to your wife, maybe they're on to something...!
