What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

I will be using this pc for both work and gaming. For my analytical work, I use Microsoft's Power BI. Games includes Overwatch 2, Fortnite, Diablo 4, Dead By Daylight, Final Fantasy 14.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

$2000 US Dollars

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

ASAP

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ToweOS/monitokeyboard/mouse/etc)

Tower

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

United States. I live near several Microcenters.

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

Won't be reusing any parts

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

I won't overclock right away. I'll do it much later down the line once I notice my computer lagging away.

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

I need at least 32 GB of the fastest ram available and a 2TB FAST SSD (most people recommend these two conditions for Power BI). I also want the ability to add an additional 32GB of ram later on, but I won't be adding more ram right away.

What type of network connectivity do you need? (Wired and/or WiFi) If WiFi is needed and you would like to find the fastest match for your wireless router, please list any specifics.

Wired

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-towefull-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

I prefer a matte black case with window. In terms of cosmetics, I prefer very subtle, muted, low key looks ( I don't like really loud, noisy colors) but I am willing to sacrifice all the cosmetics if it helps me get even greater gaming performance from my budget.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

No.

Extra info or particulars:

This will be my very first gaming PC. I've been a console player all my life. I want to try something new.
A special Request: Can I get two versions of the build? One version that is dual Performance/Gaming and the other one that is purely Gaming. I have a strong feeling Power BI will run just fine on a pc build focused solely on gaming.

Hello there, my name is Bino (21M), your friendly neighborhood DM from Germany! I have been regularly DMing for the past 1.5 years and I'm on the search for a new (and possibly for a long time) party member to play with!
The important infos:
Time: The session is usually every second Friday, starting at 18:45 (UTC+2 because of daylight savings) and usually takes 2,5 - 4 hours, depending on me or the group. We play over Roll20 and use Discord for talking and everything else.
Age should be above 16, everyone in the group is 19-21 male.
Size: We are 3 players and 1 DM so far
Microphone quality: Please have a decent enough microphone, with which we (the other players) don't hear background noise/ close to none. It would be greatly appreciated.
The campaign is already ongoing for half a year now and you will be joining in the late mid-section of it. I expect this campaign to still go for 4 sessions, +- 2 sessions, depending on the party.
We have a healthy mix of roleplay and combat (not so much exploration, as it is mostly an urban setting, but that will change with my next campaign).
​
The setting and what happened so far (This will be mainly player knowledge and to pique your interest, we will talk about PC knowledge during character creation):
Sorry, this actually got quite long lmao.
The main location of the campaign is the city Oron-Zenthral, located in the centre of The Old Continent. Consisting of 6 islands flying over a mountain, it is a brawling hotpot of people, where rivalry for power can be seen every day.
The players met at a pier of the sky-port district, where a woman was running away from a dragonborn. A killing blow was landed on her and she let go a black stone. The party tried to help her, but she had died. They now battled the dragonborn, who was a mercenary and wanted the stone for payment and later on interrogated him. They then let him dissolve in acid.
Next the party went to a magic shop in the district and waited at the plaza nearby, because that's where the trade between the dragonborn and his client would have gone down. They chase a noticeable woman with her 2 guards, but she escapes and one of her guards falls off of the edge of the island. Wanting to interrogate the last guard in a quiet corner, the group gets ambushed and almost killed. The warforged of the party recognizes the opposing ambushers as comrades the dragonborn has told them of, but they have to let them escape. Badly beaten and thoroughly bruised, they go their INN, to find rest. The next day, one of the party sees a letter sitting on a winfowsill and opens it. The letter is from the Family Draw, a local noble family, who deals in intelligence and other mercenary work. The family offers the 3 of them a trade: The family gets to experiment on the stone, in exchange the party gets that info, protection and other work if they so desire. The players accept by meeting the contact person in "The Hive", who brings them to the family, where the group meets a researcher of the family. The old man of drow descent tells them, that for the experiments to commence, he needs 3 items, of which the party gets 2, involving a heist in a library and a dungeon crawl in the city-sewers.
Mr. Nazach (the researcher) assembles his machine and finds out various information and even a legend around this magical jewel (slightly abbreviated): "Two young brothers, silver and gold respectively, once fought over the Jewel Of Dragons, fighting so fiercely, that they split a mountain in half. Being in such a battle-rage, an unknown party could sneak into the battle and steal the jewel". The party also learned, that combined with the "Crown Of Dawn", the jewel and the crown would become the Crown Of Dragons, which is a powerful item, which lets you open up portals to other realms and mind-control masses of people. Following this information, a party member (I'm looking at you Ziraelle) gently cast Sleep on the old gentleman, bringing him to sleep and giving the party a window to flee the building, where the family lives.
The next step was, to steal the Crown Of Dawn from the famous church of the city, where the first and only king of the city lies dormant (dead, but dormant sounded better). The party entered the cathedral and swiftly got out again, by setting a nearby stable on fire! Out in a nearby alley, where they wouldn't be spotted, they took out the crown and the party's sorcerer (looking at you again, Ziraelle) quickly destroyed it. Why you ask? Because the crown that was being displayed, was a fake!
But inside the crown was an old note:"Dear brother Albion, as you may have sensed, this is a fake. I have taken the Crown of Dawn for myself and will not give it back. Bring me the Jewel Of Dragons and we shall be siblings again. You know where to find me. Signed DG" Who could this man with the initials be?!
After having such an exhausting day, the party decided to rest and research about the newly found letter. Descending onto a lower island, the one party member spotted a fire on the island below: It was an Inn, in which they slept last night. 2 of the members rush in, the other 2 try to help outside. During this encounter, one party member sadly died in the fire, whilst the other 3 barely escaped death.
After a week in the local hospital, all 3 recovered well and set out to finish their plans, now with one member less.
After looking in the city library again (the same they stole from) and going through a city register of all citizens, the party's monk couldn't find any information regarding DG, but instead for Albion, which sadly didn't help much in the current situation... They now went to a contact the monk "I'Mok" had and went to the slums of the city on the peak of the mountain. There, they had a barfight with criminals and got little information. After sleeping (heavily drunk) through the night, they set out for adventure the next day: They decided to go in underground of the slums, trying to find the info they desire there. Which is where we are right now! The party of 3 entered a mining shaft, which was a tip, which the bartender gave them and went right in. They just traversed a pit of quicksand and are now standing in a corridor, where mystery and uncertainty lies ahead.
That's it so far :) the rest is up to you and the others to decide, so don't hesitate!
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate and post a comment or DM me :)
​
Oh yeah, finally, after reading through all of this (which I'm very thankful for!) I would like to ask you, to fill out the following form, as it makes it easier for me to determine, which players I want in my game. Thank you in advance for showing interest, I'll hopefully see you at the (virtual) table!

Form, to be filled out for application: https://forms.gle/wfXKV4Nt6vXrSMNn9

I (22 F) have been with my bf (24) for a little over 4 yrs. Or relationship has been a bit rocky but we want to make it work. In total, we've lived together for a little under 3 yrs (weve lived in 3 different apartments together). Through out living together, we both agreed that some of those times were the best times of our life and we were deeply in love but when he got our last apartment together, we both fell into addiction issues and personal issues so thats what caused our break. I moved back into my parents and he & his best friend got an apartment together. We've had arguments here and there. But one thing we agreed is that we isolated ourselves in each other when we lived together and didn't have much attention for anyone else like friends. We had some come and go but his 2 best friends always stuck around and they'd come over sometimes.
Recently, he started getting paid more and I'm able to save up my money living at my parents.
Now, back tracking again. He and his best friend have ALWAYS been into going to concerts. They'd go to one 1-4 times a year... I've never been invited to a single one.. even for birthday gifts, I bought both of them tickets for shows they wanted to go to but I've never been thought of to tag along.
Fast forward again, we have this extra money coming in now. He, his best friend, and another friend went to Disney World in California.. cool, fun.. I wasn't invited cause it was his friend's birthday. Whatever.
Now, my bf is going out more with friends, which I'm happy for him.
More plans for concerts, going out to a party, planning a trip to Las Vegas for my bf's birthday... I'm still not invited.
I'm kind of more hurt about not getting invited to his birthday trip to Las Vegas. I guess I understand wanting to hang out with the boys but I've never really gotten any big plans with him & ive never really ever been able to travel anywhere cause my mother was sick for most of my life. Ive set dates for us to go to other states and they just never fell through. We went on a very tiny road trip recently and our 4 yr anniversary followed shortly after.... and we did nothing for our anniversary. So his excuse for doing nothing was our... very tiny road trip as a substitute for our 4 yr. I got really mad over this, he apologized, and said he'd make up for it... nope.
I've asked about going to concerts and... he doesn't want to see that artist or drive 1.5 hr away.
I mention a trip to Washington in 3 months and... he's iffy.
Am I over thinking this? Am I right to kind of view from the sidelines and wish I'd get an invite? I feel like if I ask to go on the Las Vegas trip that he'll feel pressured. I'm happy he's going out with friends but I feel like he doesn't want to include me on big fun adventures.

Hello all, I'm a Hunter main who's very big on Buildcrafting. I'd like to give feedback over every Hunter exotic with a PvE lens, positive and negative.
I will offer no solutions or potential fixes to problems I perceive, as this is not my job and such discussion is useless to Bungie anyway.
I should state my primary goal in buildcrafting is to create a consistent gameplay loop I find enjoyable. I want my builds to work in most pve content casually, with the only exceptions being grandmasters, master dungeons and master raids, and legendary / master lost sectors. I still make builds for this pinnacle content, but they have entirely different goals.
Note that I will inevitably say something any given reader will heavily disagree with. Please refrain from negative comments insulting my taste, I would like this to be a positive discussion with valid feedback, feedback viable enough for bungie to contemplate if they so choose to do so.
I will not discuss the following exotics as they have offer absolutely zero applications in PvE: - Knucklehead Radar - Stompees
I will also not consider Aeon Swift, as this is not a Hunter exotic.
Alright, let's get started. There will be no order to this.

• Mask of Bakris The tele-dodge itself does not seem to amount to anything significant in PVE, so the damage boost is the focus. While the damage boost is nice, I find that buff disabling dodge ability generation restricts building around the exotic heavily - significantly reduced effectiveness of means of rapidly recharging dodge, and decreased effectiveness of other parts of the kit, like Shuriken uptime. I do not like using this exotic in PVE because it feels very restrictive if not clunky.
  
• Renewal Grasps I find this exotic's two effects to be at odds with each other. If I want to build into its potent damage resistance and enemy weakening, I find that the Duskfield itself makes such a job almost pointless in most content, as frozen enemies do not attack you. If I want to build into the increased Duskfield and Duskfield crystal radius, I find the exotic's cooldown penalty to be restrictive, I cannot justify using this exotic over none when I simply want to throw duskfields at enemies. I used to love this exotic, but I feel like it has an identity crisis, and I do not like using it as of now.
  
• Foetracer I appreciate this exotic's damage boosting property, it is potent especially in raids and dungeons. However outside of damaging boss combatants, this exotic does nothing in PvE. As non boss-dps is most content, I consider this exotic poor as it lacks oomph or any synergy with anything else I can buildcraft around.
  
• Celestial Nighthawk Good fashion aside, this is a super-only exotic designed to increase damage output against boss combatants. Its secondary partial refund mechanic feels far too insignificant if not unreliable to build around, so this exotic does nothing in most pve content. I find its damage also lacking, I cannot justify using this exotic.
  
• Sixth Coyote I adore this exotic, it is simple yet it enables so many different things. I find even more mileage out of it with the new class item mod allowing my dodge to pick up orbs.
  
• Sealed Ahamkara Grasps Even with its recent buffs, I still heavily dislike this exotic. With a 7 second cooldown, the Melee reload mechanic feels inefficient, as Impetus on Stasis and Ascent on Strand do the same thing but more often. The new increased speed on melee hit mechanic feels extremely clunky, I find constantly weaving in and out of Stompees' tier speed to be extremely disorienting, as the buff only lasts 4 seconds. Because of that aspect, I would never use this exotic, even over nothing.
  
• Speedloader Slacks I appreciate this exotic's monstrous reload speed multiplier, it enables buildcrafting around one-shot reload weapons. I also appreciate its support capabilites, which is something very rare for Hunters. Even with these in mind, I do not like using this exotic as it feels very bland, it does not enable a new gameplay loop - it just makes base gunplay better.
  
• Blight Ranger I cannot offer any new feedback over this item. Countless others have done a better job. This exotic needs serious help.
  
• Raiden Flux While certainly potent and competitive against Star Eater Scales for scaling Arc Staff, I dislike this exotic for several reasons. First being that it keeps you in your super for much longer and you can't really opt out of it, this is a negative to me because I can't utilize buildcrafting aspects while in a roaming super. Second being that it is a super only exotic that offers no way to back into your super faster, leading me to feel that this exotic overall has very little oomph to it.
  
• Gwinsin Vest Despite me having multiple godrolls of this thing stuck in my vault, I almost forgot about putting this here. This Super only Exotic does not offer a Super refund or increased Super damage, it instead increases Spectral Blades' uptime. It is extremely difficult to justify using a Super only exotic in the age of Star Eater Scales, but this takes the cake as the one I am least willing to use any given scenario. Frankly, I don't know how to give feedback for this.
  
• Raiju's Harness Excellent fashion aside, I do not think this exotic's recent buffs did enough to make me consider unironically using this exotic for function. The blind radius feels far too small to actually leverage, and doesn't do damage. The weapon damage buff period feels too short. If the build goal is to use the super to cancel the super to maximize uptime on its Arc damage buff, I think I would rather just use Bakris on stasis, which would have more uptime.
  
• Shinobu's Vow On paper, this exotic appears godlike. A second grenade charge and a potent grenade refund function is very high value. Unfortunately, Skip Grenades feel awful to use. To be more specific, at base they feel like the single least lethal grenade in the game bar a healing nade. Using Arc 3.0's Jolting nades fragment decreases this exotic's performance, as the jolt kills targets before your Skip Grenade seekers can damage them to recharge your grenade. Even with the current seasonal artifact, I cannot justify using this exotic over just picking any other grenade on arc without an exotic.
  
• Lucky Raspberry This exotic is difficult to use in multi-player content, as teammates can and will defeat your targets before your ArcBolt can complete its chain to loop itself. This issue is made worse further when including the Jolting nades fragment, causing Jolt to kill targets before the Arcbolt can connect to them. I also personally just do not like the heavy rng associated with this exotic by design, preferring reliable and consistent gameplay loops over rare moments of extreme power - yet this exotic offers neither.
  
• Liars Handshake A powerful, reliable exotic I used to use all of the time. Its damage buff is potent, and its healing is very nice to have. Though this exotic feels like it has poor synergy with Arc 3.0 aspects, lethal current procs from the first melee hit and often clears everything in front of you, meaning there's nothing to use Cross Counter on. It's been a while since I tried, but I don't believe this Exotic even procs off Tempest Strike hits. These components of anti synergy make the Exotic feel clunky in the modern sandbox, making me not want to use it.
  
• Dragons Shadow Similar to my thoughts on Speedloader Slacks, I appreciate the potent boosts this exotic provides, though I do not believe it offers buildcrafting potential - it just makes base gunplay better.
  
• Facade (I will not dare even attempt to spell the first part) The Anti Flinch component is mostly irrelevant in PvE, so value is instead drawn from the reliable if not indefinite Woven Mail uptime. While it is a potent effect, it feels difficult to justify using my exotic slot over the Woven Mail on Orb pickup fragment, even though this fragment has limited uptime. I believe this Exotic doesn't offer enough oomph in PvE and is difficult to build craft around dedicatedly.
  
• Assassins Cowl I find this exotic very awkward to build craft around, as it demands high uptime on powered melee abilities and yet does nothing to grant melee energy. Bar just using the standard fare Arc Hunter loop to tackle endgame content, I believe that this exotic demands too much buildcrafting investment to justify its purely defensive boosts. I thus do not use this exotic, outside of the Arc Hunter loop.
  
• Kehpris Sting This exotic offers a 50% increased damage for the lowest damage melee ability in the game. This buff amounts to it still doing less damage than just punching enemies normally. The increased melee recharge speed function seems to only have PvP application, and Stylish Executioner offers more than enough wall hacks for any PvE needs. I cannot justify equipping this exotic, neither can I justify building around offensive Smoke Bombs in general.
  
• Graviton Forfeit Oh, do I miss this exotic's prime within the 30th anniversary sandbox. This exotic offers indefinite invisibility, which doesn't feel at all needed in most content, as Void Hunter aspects give plenty of on demand and after-combat invisibility uptime. The reload and recovery boosts offered by this exotic feel difficult to leverage practically. I miss old Bottom Tree Nightstalker's grenade recharge and heart of the pack functions, which complimented this exotic perfectly. Without these things, I cannot justify using this exotic.
  
• Frostees This is Hunter's only neutral game ability recharge based exotic. While its effects are potent, they only activate while sprinting, and you cannot actively damage targets while sprinting. I find that this makes building around this exotic frustrating. While it is always a good idea to wear this exotic, I tend to avoid it because trying to leverage it frustrates me, I really wish we had another neutral game exotic with ability recharge applications.
  
• Shards of Galanor I find this exotic to lack oomph, as it only serves to refund your Blade Barrage, but does not boost its lethality, making buildcrafting around this exotic to not amount to much, though it can be done.
  
• Orphious Rigs This exotic has two distinct effects that do not overlap. With Quiver, this exotic increases your Super's damage output but offers nothing to get your super back faster. With Deadfall(?), this exotic grants the super a potent ability refund and super refund function, but only when using your super against multiple targets at once. This conflicts with how most void Hunters use the super, to debuff singular bosses. I find both functions of this exotic to lack oomph and can't justify using it.
  
• Wormhusk Crown I appreciate this exotic's simplicity, though I wish it had more oomph to it in PvE. This is one of very few sources of Healing available to Hunter, but I don't think it provides enough of it to build craft around.
  
• Lucky Pants I greatly appreciate this exotic single handedly enabling an entire archetype of build, though I find it very clunky. To elaborate, when I use this exotic I find myself worrying over accidentally proccing the lucky pants effect when I am not ready for it, and this heavily restricts my gameplay, not allowing me to use my primary weapon like a primary. This heavily restricts build crafting, blasphemously forcing me to run another primary, or to use a special or heavy capable of running reliable general ad clear. I often find myself wishing I could choose to opt out of proccing the exotic's damage boosting effect in any given moment. This clunkiness fully cancels out the QoL provided by the massively increased Handcannon stats in my eyes. I do not use this exotic often because of these things.
  
• Bombardiers (Bombies) This exotic has 5 different functions based off of subclass. Common to all of them is that I find this exotic clunky to use offensively, as the bomb does not travel horizontally at all, and its radius feels lacking. Void Bombies doesn't count as a real Suppression effect in PvE and I wish they did. Arc Bombies doesn't count as a real Blind effect in PvE and I wish they did. Solar Bombies is nice on paper for scorch stacking ignition based buildcrafting, but this build greatly suffers from my first point. Stasis Bombies... doesn't do anything. I would like it to! Strand Bombies feels redundant, Strand Hunter already has a ton of access to Sever, and I find myself wishing Bombies exploded the hologram from the new aspect, which would allow it to bypass my general use issue with this exotic.
  
• Gemini Jesters While interesting, I find this exotic lacks oomph. The blind has no arc synergy, and I wish it had a longer duration. It also feels bizzarely inconsistent as to what enemies the blind even works on? I do not use this exotic for these reasons.
  
• Oathkeepers. I actually used this in PvE before the recent buffs, valuing the small draw time boost it has. I find its new mechanic frustrating to buildcraft around, as it works with absolutely zero special effects like dragonfly and exotic perks. Much of the community seems to have this sentiment, too. If I use this exotic, it will be for the draw time boost and not the damage boosting function.
  
• Mechaneers Tricksleeves This exotic incentivizes a unique low-life type of build to get the most out of it. Unfortunately this type of thing is very poorly supported, requiring awkward pauses to deal damage to yourself. This type of build also has the fault of not working in most teamplay, as Solar Warlocks will heal you without your consent. I wish its damage buff had a different or alternative condition to activate.
  
• Star Eater Scales. An excellent exotic, offering a unique gameplay loop that yields a satisfying and potent payout. I have no complaints, though I don't use this exotic often because I find it overkill for most content.
  
• Gyrfalcons Hauberk The sole savior of Nightstalker 3.0 in my eyes. This exotic is extremely well rounded, unique, and offers a ton of build crafting options. I don't use it much these days though, as I am trying more ability focused builds of which this exotic does not assist me in.
  
• Triton Vice My feedback mirrors the common community sentiment over this exotic: it's trying to do two conflicting things, and neither job is done well enough to justify using a glaive on Hunter. To add on to that, I find it hard to justify glaives on hunter in general since many of our subclass kits revolve around using thrown melee abilities, and glaives offer no synergy with almost all parts of these kits. I think this is my primary complaint, I wish there were more synergy between glaives and subclasses at base. I do not see myself ever using this exotic without major sandbox changes.
  
• Omnioculus Much like my Graviton Forfiet feedback, this exotic's prime is in the past. Though still useful in difficult endgame multiplayer content, this exotic has lacked oomph in most content ever since Void 3.0
  
• Radiant Dance Machines I adore the recent rework to this exotic, its fantastic in general play. My only direct complaint is that it's kinda hard to tell when the buff is ready to proc, and when gamblers dodge can meet its nearby enemy proc condition. Any other complaints I could come up with are more so directed at weaknesses associated with Hunter Subclasses.
  

General Solar Hunter Grenade and Melee Exotic Feedback: Solar 3.0's Gunslinger revamp has a number of elements I find problems with, and these problems directly affect it's non-super exotics. - Solar Hunter's looping ability is extremely reliant on ability kills. If a thrown melee fails to kill, a dodge is required to retry. If this fails for any reason, the loop is over. This feels sudden halt in momentum feels really bad to me, it makes me generally avoid Solar Hunter. - Explosive Throwing Knives are often shot out of the air by enemies, severely hurting you and turning off your loop. - Weighted Throwing Knife seems to have been bugged for a very long time now, it very often fails to refund itself with the radiant loop when it ignites an enemy, heavily restricting if not making building crafting impossible for it. - The Radiant knife loop will often fail if it procs too quickly. Needing to actively think about pacing myself makes it hard to enjoy the radiant knife loop. - The current Restoration bug makes Solar Hunter survivability far poorer than it would be without, forcing me to play Solar Hunter far more conservative than I'd like, which causes my loops to fail more often, and failed loops to result in my death more often.

• Caliban's Hand Though powerful in general play, this Exotic often feels like its overkill. Ignition explosions will detonate mid-air knives, forcing me to pace my thrown knives further, and causing the loop to fail even more often. This volatility is why I haven't really used the exotic since the tailend of Haunted.
  
• Athry's Embrace This felt balanced in the sandboxes before Solar 3.0, but its damage output feels like its been powercrept since. The Weighted Throwing Knife bug, and the lack of 3.0 synergy makes this exotic tough to justify using. The recent buff for +30 strength while the buff is active seems to be primarily pvp focused change.
  
• Young Ahamkara's Spine (YAS) This exotic enables its own loop, one remarkably similar to the radiant knife loop. While I appreciate that component of it, I have two issues with this exotic. One: The loop is prone to fail, Ignitions and other related Solar Explosions can detonate the Tripmine mid-flight, and actually sticking enemies with Tripmines in pve is surprisingly difficult to do reliably. In either case the loop fails, and when the backup throwing knives fail for whatever reason, the loop ends and the build is disabled for quite a while. Two: I feel like Tripmines don't deal much damage in PvE, most of a YAS build's comes from ignitions. I know many people are avid fans of this exotic, but I am not.
  
• Ophidia Spathe This is my go to Solar Exotic, though I wish its hidden regenerate two knives at once ability were more consistent, in most cases the Radiant Loop only provides one knife charge and no part of this function is explained on the exotic. I enjoy pairing this exotic with the newly buffed Skyburner's oath and fan knives, letting me easily Ignite enemies without suffering from much of the other Gunslinger weaknesses.
  

Basically the title I have my little brother my old system with a 7600k in it but that chip is pretty poor for gaming as it is only 4core 4 thread and the reason I upgraded away from it was I noticed it was causing me issues with games and my current resolution. Anyone have a lead on a chip they would be willing to oartneith for cheap, I'd even be willing to pay for the chip and also throw in the 7600k as trade if someone.would have use for a chip with a lower thread count. Thanks everyone as always.

Glaive melee has been a problem since their inception so I'm not really surprised, I'm just disappointed because I was really excited to use my Pressurized Precision with Discord/Hatchling that I spent all week farming for with my (insert glaive with Close To Melee here, there's like 4 of them now) in PvE, and Discord has almost exactly the same wording as the class item mod Reaper which is what led me to believe it would work (barring the fact that glaive melee's history of this exact scenario is the same as the history of the glaive's existence in-game).
I also wanna take this opportunity to remind everyone and the u/Destiny2Team that the Sparks of Feedback and Frequency still don't interact glaive melees either, despite having virtually identical wording to the Echoes of Exchange and Leeching, which (like Reaper) have interacted together perfectly since WQ and Void 3.0 launched.
It's still decent fun with my Threadling build (even though it's approximately 12 nautical miles away from being viable in most PvE content), but it would be much more so if I actually got to use my polearm polearm a polearm rather than a deployable-forcefield-with-particularly-long-gun.

What's up college folks! I just wanted to write this post because I'm a graduating senior in a couple weeks and wanted to give some careecollege advice yo younger folks here. A brief background about me is I am a computer science major and have a CS job lined up. I'm not saying this to brag or whatever but getting a job isn't as hard as it seems. Trust me. I wish I had gone back in time as a freshman and focused more on socializing and building memories than stressing about internships & what not. There should be a balance between having fun and studying. I just did not have that balance because I dealt with personal struggles that made socializing difficult. Instead, I found joy in being productive and being career oriented since that was an outlet to distract me from my loneliness and mental health issues that I have struggled as a result of personal struggles. Now that I am graduating, I am grateful that I worked hard to have a lucrative career ahead of me, but what bothers me is I don't have any fond college memories to carry on with me. I've had acquantiances that I would hang out infrequently and talk to when we see each other but not any close friendships. I also never had a relationship. I feel like a lot of college students nowadays who were like me during their early college years stress too much about finding a full-time job after college. It feels like you need to to xyz now or otherwise you won't get the career you want. Honestly, don't stress about it. As long as you have a game plan on what you need to do to get there, you will eventually get there. It may take some time but you will get there. Remember this, you will always have the opportunity to pursue the career that you want but you don't have that same opportunity to repeat your undergrad college experience ever again. Your time in college is very valuable. You don't want to be like me as a senior and wish you had done more to make the most out of your college experience. Whatever you are struggling with addiction or mental health issue, seek help immediately because the sooner you get help the better off you will be. Peace.

I've been trying to find a good FPS to play. I tried games like Apex but I don't like how it forces you to play trios, and the lighting in Warzone is terrible and I can't spot enemies. I was thinking if buying MW2 now that is on sale would be worth it or if buying a game like MW2019, Black Ops 3 or 4 would be worth it. I grew uo in the Bo3 era and while I couldn't afford a console to play it, I loved to watch people playing the game. I now have a pc and been wondering what game to buy. I've been playing BF 2042 just because it was in the Xbox game pass but I've wanted to try other games. Any suggestions?

Hi Girlies!!
​
A few girlies and I have been wanting to play modded minecraft for some time and we also wanted it to be very feminine and fun. a lot of the mods are centered around being cute whether that's mobs, decorations, biomes, etc. I will list a few of the bigger named mods below if you're interested in seeing some of them. There's 100 mods I believe total, maybe 106? BUT it's not really that bad on the computer.
​
The Server is online 24/7 and if for some reason it's not, its very easy to get into contact with me so that I can turn it on through the dashboard. It uses a hosting site so there won't be "We have to wait for xyz to get on before we can play". The server accommodates both Creative and Survival due to a mod that allows you to teleport to different "Worlds" SO you can easily change what you're doing if you're in the mood for survival/creative without interfering others or your own creations.
​
I'm personally online daily, I also have a lot of free time and I enjoy staying on late into the night so there is a lot of available time for us to game together! There are other girlies there that don't work or work part time so a lot of us have a lot of free time to game together. We use discord to communicate and we enjoy hopping into VC.
​
The group is pretty small, I'd say we have about 4-7 people so if smaller groups are your thing, here we are!
​
The mods general focuses are Exploration, Building, Farming, Cooking, Ambience, Quality of life, and cute mobs! So many! Koi fish, fireflies, deer, different birds, etc!
​
The Bigger mods we are using:
Minecraft Comes Alive
Biomes o' plenty
Oh the Biomes you'll Go
Waypoint
minimaps
corpse (so you don't lose your items)
Macaws furniture and building mods
farmers respite
and so many more.

I’m free to play after work weekdays 7pm-1am EST and all day weekends. I’m down to play most games as long as I’m playing with people I can have fun. I have the most fun playing competitive games as well as goofy stuff like gang beats. I played a lot of R6, COD, Halo, GTA, Battlefield, Dark souls, Gang beasts, Minecraft, Far Cry, and pretty much anything else that me and my friends could make fun. Idc if I’m playing with friends and against friends in games. I used to play Xbox all the time from Middle-school through High-school but my group broke up about 3 years ago though and I’ve just kinda felt empty since than. I haven’t really been playing much since than almost never. I’m down to vibe with any group. Prefer people around my age but I don’t really care.

TL; DR: Therapy can be safe for those with severe trauma, minority status, low income, extreme lack of support if we are able to trust our gut & stay with any therapist no more than 2 years at the extreme longest. Trauma responses carry a stigma akin to leprosy, so those wounds must only be shown among our own "colonies".
I have come to identify complex trauma as "emotional leprosy".
This is because there is a hostility and stigma towards trauma responses, particularly the freeze, fight, and anxious attachment. I see it among therapists when psych students share what they discuss in their private subs. I see it in how people in this and other trauma subs ard treated by therapists and other people.
It turns out, we are an annoying bunch, as far as both therapists and the general public are concerned. especially anyone whose trauma responses get labeled as borderline personality disorder. And as Daniel Mackler on YouTube states, "when a therapist diagnoses a client with BPD, it means that they dislike the client."
I'm nerding out on leprosy education, here. Later, I will compare it to CPTSD. Please skip this section if you don't care to read
Leprosy has an stigma reaching back to ancient times. It is a tropical disease, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae. It is spread through droplets in the air from sneezing or coughing.
It mainly affects the skin, eyes, nose and peripheral nerves. Secondarily, joints and bones. The deformities it causes are horrific and debilitating, yet leprosy is treatable with a cocktail of 2 or 3 antibiotics that must be taken for 1 to 2 years. Leprosy is not easy to catch, there must be close quarter contact for months or years with the infected person.
end of nerding out section
I invite you to go check out images of advanced leprosy. I think they are perfect physical representations of the emotional and social wounds that many of us carry. I'm glad that leprosy in the world isn't common and is completely treatable. I wish I could say the same for trauma.
So, why is therapy safer if financially disadvantaged, traumatized people without a support system stay for a limited time with any one therapist? Because there is a bottleneck effect in recovery when one is experiencing constant external stressors of systemic oppression and is alone to fend for themselves physically, mentally and emotionally. Most people who become therapists never contend with that.
People I've met who, I suspect, had some similar childhood traumas as myself are light years ahead of me in recovery, financial security and social support, when they have been fortunate enough to find people who believe in them and love them. Those of us who have never had this have to supply everything to ourselves, and that greatly slows our recovery.
We become objects of contempt to therapists eventually. The emotional leprosy is an annoying drain on societally functioning people. Our wounds are unsightly, we become abhorrent if they are made visible.
Last year, I believed that my past therapist was exceptionally awful. I still know them to be terrible, but I also now know how common their response to emotional leprosy really is. If I would have only stayed a year instead of becoming addicted to their validation, received the CPTSD diagnosis, & left before they saw my ugly wounds and expressed their disgust, I would have been fine. But I didn't know any better. I didn't know how CMH is a puppy mill for baby therapists. I didn't know that "trauma informed" is a marketing buzzword.
Recovery from leprosy can take a couple of years. Recovery from deep trauma without a loving support system and financial security takes much longer. We don't need to be ashamed of our wounds, but it's best for our wellbeing to keep them hidden from the haters.

i went through a really hard time these past two years and i used alcohol and online gaming to cope with my loneliness and social anxiety. i was drinking to the point of blacking out and i don’t remember a single thing from the times i’ve played with people. i have a lot of regret and shame from that time of my life. i’m so embarrassed and i have a HUGE fear of getting cancelled or made fun of over something i don’t remember. i just know i was an incoherent mess and the amount of fear, embarrassment, and regret i feel eats away at me everyday. :( it gets so bad to the point of me wanting to unalive myself. i get constant thoughts that something will surface and go viral. i’m so disappointed in myself. i love playing online but this fear is so bad that i don’t even want to touch any online games ever again.

( The game is very very very early on this is not meant to be a demo just want feedback on the AI system and would like to hear advice comment etc.)
Issues: When i have 4 characters he doesn't join ( the game I'm making is suikoden inspired and will have 100+ Heros is that something i can do with Events or do i need a plugin?)
The Ai dialogue repeats its old responses when re prompted for new conversation.
Apon Recruiting id like the box to not pop back up asking if we are done. any and all help is appreciated.

What's going on?

A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third-party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface.
This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.

What's the plan?

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.

What can you do?

1. Let them hear your voice. Message the mods of reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.
2. Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join us at our sister sub at ModCoord - but please don't pester mods you don't know by simply spamming their modmail.
3. Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely from June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
4. Don't be a jerk. As upsetting as this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.
