I have two laptops to choose between. Namely

the MSI Vector

Ryzen 9 9955hx

A laptop 5080

32 GB of DDR5 for ram

Or

The MSI Raider

Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX

Laptop 5090

64 GB DDR5 ram

Both seem to have close to compravle storage. I can afford either, but is the raider worth the 2000 dollar price boost? I am a big fan of gaming but dont know much about hardware. I can supply any other details needed about the computers.

Do you have any suggestions? I want to be a bit more proactive as a low level (level 2) artificer who doesnt have precise shot (going all in on crafting). I know that using a spell like grease would be good, but I am ideally looking for a spell that I can have do damage and lets me attack over multiple turns.

Based on my googling it seems like I need to disable safeboot, but the bios wont let me disable safeboot the option is greyed out. I have set an admin password

Based on my googling I need to disable safeboot, but that option is grayed out in the settings. What do I do? I have set up the password already

Recently fell in love with Dungeon Crawler Carl, Prepotente is a need to have, he is genuinely my favorite and will be my little boy. princess donut obviously, Katia is great, Samanta could be cool to have.

For the record, I am looking for damage spells, single target, aoe, muti selected target, all of it. What is the strongest damage spell at each level in your opinion?

Is there any equipments/feats/anything I should be aware of to make this more viable?

My zen archer was just murdered, I am looking for character ideas to replace them, the party already has a competent archer so ranged non magical damage replacement isn't needed, we have a melee tank barbarian, a homebrew mage class that is doing a mix of healing and damage, a ranger who is really good with a bow. Maybe a bard? I've wanted to do a bard for a while.

Edit cause I should probably put this in here. The game is fairly heavily homebrewed to fit into the Rokugan setting. There are basically no arcane casters, arcane half casters get bonus feats instead of new leveled spells, and obviously to anyone who knows setting, it has a generically asian theme to it

So he is a fighter duelist using a quarterstaff (got a cool cursed quarterstaff) doing a lorewarden (planned to go into martial master as well) who is largely built around tripping and using ascetic style to vicious stomp with weapon. Eventually building into two weapon fighting with the quarterstaff so I can trip with the offhand weapon, strike twice (once with main hand attack, one with aoo) then maybe a third one if they are dumb enough to stand.

Sha'ir have access to all spells in theory, can they use any wands? I'm a gm who is running for someone playing one of these and it came up when they bought a wand.

I am a seasonal worker who stays in a campground in the on season, last year I lived out of a tent. I share a plot with my parents who have an rv so putting an rv on the plot isn't allowed, but a shed is. I'm buying a nice quality shed (hemlock wood, hand made, 12ft by 16 ft) and I'm converting it into a tiny home type deal. I wanted to get some suggestions on the best way to insulate it for New Brunswick Canada. I want it to be decently comfortable, safe, and ideally not break the bank. The shed will come to us looking like a framed but not drywalled build, it has no electrical or plumbing to worry about (we're running an extension cable into it to run my laptop/charge my phone off)

EDIT: My parents want to use spray foam insulation but as I understand that has a higher chance to bring about rot if installed incorrectly and we are not installers. I could really use some advice

Title is clear and obvious, what snacks should I buy? Ideally looking into junk food but low-mid effort food is also on the table.

1.22 kg of boned frozen lamb leg is for sale near me. I love lamb but I've never cooked with it, is it difficult? Does anyone have a good lamb recipe they suggest? Either as a roast or something else?

I am a seasonal worker who is looking for an off season hobby that is both creative and physical to keep me moving on the off season. Smithing is very cool and I've always had an interest in it. What tools should I be investing in for hobbyists first smithy? Is there a good place to learn basic techniques?

I am a human fighter lorewarden who is doing a trip build with ascetic style to be able to vicious stomp with my preferred weapon. After level 3 I'm not sure what to do with my build so I am coming here to see if any of you have neat ideas. The feat list at level 3 fighter will be in no particular order (We have some homebrew for extra feats) Please note this is a character that is already in play so don't suggest just playing something else.
