I'm playing Marvel Rivals, but the issue is I always play on a super low DPI. It makes my shots more accurate since I have more room to click someone's head. But I also wanna play melee champs and I'm realizing a high DPI is required for Black Cat and other melee characters.

I could have a different DPI on melee characters, but I worry that would mess with muscle memory and make me worse with other characters.

Any advice on what I should do?

I'm trying to go to school to become a truck driver. I live extremely economically, and my brother has an amazing job, however we are $10,000 in debt.

The school I'm going to goes through this really shady loan company called Coachfinancing or something. I don't care that it's a shitty loan, I don't care if I spend six years paying it off.

My brother makes $2300 a month. As a truck driver, I'll be making $3200 a month minimum, and most likely closer to $4800. Our bills, even with debt and this loan, are $3600 a month. That means, full time as a truck driver, we will pay off all of our debt in a year. And even if we never pay off this loan, we'll still pay off our other debts and our income will go up significantly.

The thing is, my credit score is about 640. I already have a personal loan, and debt collection on my tab from my old apartment. But this is a really shitty loan, and I just need it to go through.

Is there any hope that this works out?

I know this sub is for minor loans, but here's to hoping.

I'm going through a four week truck driving school. The cost of the course is $6500. Combined with general living expenses, it's about $8,000. I'm currently fishing for really, really shitty loans, because the money I would make doing this far outweights any debt repayment I could have. It's estimated that I'll be making $3200 - $4800 a month from the date I'm hired. And recruiters will be at the school from my first day, so I'll sign on with the first one happily.

My goal here is to borrow privately instead. I'm already finalizing a loan with a shitty and predatory company, but if I can pay a 30% or even 40% interest rate to a real person and not a loan shark, I'll happily do it.

I have a history on this sub. Payment would be done through paypal. Unsoliicted DMs will be reported.

I'm taking out a loan to go back to school and become a truck driver. I really need it to go right because I have bills to pay, and can't handle a loan on a degree I didn't get.

How hard is a commercial truck driving course? I'm doing Elite Driving School in Oregon, it's a 4 week course where you have your CDL by the end of it.

I'm a gig driver for Curri which is basicallly about delivering hardware supplies. I've been doing it for about three months with no issue, and was a delivery driver for a month before that.

Could use some reassurance that this is doable, because I have a lot riding on this and don't have a lot of options.

Looking to go back to school and become a truck driver. Course is 4 weeks to complete, estimated time to be hired is 1-2 weeks after graduation. Loan would cover tuition.

Will be making monthly payments. This is predominately so that I don't have to take out a sizeable loan with an official bank.

Estimated salary upon first hire is $60,000 - $70,000 a year. I will be working overtime if at all possible.

Only accepting payment via paypal. Unsolicited DMs will be reported and banned.

I have bipolar disorder. It's treated, however I worry it would immediately disqualify me from becoming a law enforcement officer.

I live on the west coast in Portland, Oregon. Does anyone have any information about this?

I'm rewriting Argynvostholt. The goal is to make it a huge monastery worshiping the Morninglord, that has actually fallen to worshipping the dark powers. It's a major plotpoint I have planned that the players will redeem the valley in the eyes of the Morninglord, and that this will earn them either the sunsword or the symbol of ravenkind (in case you can't tell, my campaign heavily rewrites the module).

I need help with two things: First, I need help writing a settlement built around a monastery. Second, I need help writing the monastery as a major settlement for a quest where the players can redeem it.

Can anyone help me out please? I've asked and asked and no one seems to want to help me.

My best friend has a PC, and regularly plays with me and my brother. However, despite him having a prebuilt PC, it constantly crashes. Specifically, it seems to always crash with multiplayer games. We regularly play Liar's Bar, Buckshot Roulette, we use Parsec to play fighting games and they mostly work fine, but certain games just have stubborn issues that seem to create problems.

It's worth noting that he's always had network issues, but these seem to just be low quality internet, and don't seem to explain the issues with games crashing and kicking him.

The two biggest contenders are:

• Marvel Rivals
• Baldur's Gate 3

Marvel Rivals has a really stubborn crashing issue where it just crashes and closes. We've tested a ton of solutions and it just doesn't seem to work no matter what we do.

Baldur's Gate 3 is the biggest one. For starters, his game works fine playing without mods, however, every time we mod the game, regardless of the mods we install, his game crashes and exits to desktop constantly. And here's the weird part, the mod list works for me and my brother without issue. By and large, no one else in our friend's group has any issues playing with mods, but his game crashes regardless of what mods are installed.

Baldur's Gate 3 crashes with the script extender, and even without the script extender with just mods from the in-game mod manager. However, it doesn't crash if we play without mods, which is a bummer since all of us have hundreds of hours in the game and just can't seem to get it to work.

Things he's tried that haven't worked:

• Updating graphics drivers
• Rolling back graphics drivers
• Uninstalling mods (game works with no mods, but crashes with any mods)
• Verifying file integrity
• Fixing his connection by moving to a different room. This significantly decreased latency, however the crashing persisted.
• Reinstalling Windows 11.
• Removing mods with external dependancies.
• Playing Marvel Rivals on multiple different versions of the game.
• Playing Baldur's Gate 3 with and without mods on multiple versions of the game.

Any ideas? We're really out of ideas.

Using Legion Of Excess and the new Cavalcade detachment.

The new terrain, Fight Phase and Charge Phase rules favor melee a lot more than 10th, where shooting was dominant, so I wanted to give Legion Of Excess another shot since Slaanesh are one of my two favorite demon factions.

The idea here is to rip and tear with chariots, fiends and keepers of secrets. My monsters actually have narrow target ranges, with both struggling into terminators more than other options on my list. But their auras are strong, and they do do well into softer or tougher targets.

Tormentbringers and Hellflayers are super strong, and getting to Rapid Ingress them turn 1, as well as give them Mobile to move through walls makes them super good. Together with how good their damage is, and Masque giving them +1 to Wound, and how Seductive Gambit doesn't necessarily mean they'll be hit anymore, it just seems like a really potent unit all around.

Feedback is appreciated!

I've been playing Warhammer 40k since 10th came out. I have a lot of experience, and my main armies are World Eaters and Genestealer Cults. Despite this, I always wanted to play Sisters but was unable to because my brother played them and does not like mirror matches. However, he dropped 40k, so I played my first game on TTS today.

Bear in mind, these are my initial thoughts, not only as a first time player, but also as someone with a lot of experience but who is unfamiliar with the new edition due to only having played a few games in it. So bear in mind, this is not the opinion of someone familiar with the army, and more just me sharing my thoughts casually for anyone who cares.

I played Bringers Of Flame. Here is my list.

My initial thoughts on Sisters is that they are an army that is hard to get value out of, but one that has a lot of options few other armies have. An example of this is how they have some of the best anti tank in the game, with a surplus of meltas and several melee units that can destroy vehicles, but their units are slow, and rely on niche or specific synergies to get into their win conditions. I'd argue Sisters when played right can get a level of value that other armies would struggle to get. A properly screened sisters army is a nightmare for World Eaters, and they're able to screen against deep strike like Genestealer Cults very effectively due to their higher model count compared to elite armies. However, they are very tied to limited movement and specific range and sightlines, and, in my opinion as someone playing them in 11th edition, I think they are one of the more struggling armies, more on that later.

As I played, I realized there was always something I could do, and I found a lot of potential, and a lot of times I went "Oh, that would have been cool" or "Man, I wish I realized I could do that earlier." Transports are very good in Bringers Of Flame, and Sisters have very good transports that give a lot of options that other armies don't have.

However, I think Sisters are going to struggle in 11th, and it's for a very specific reason; the new terrain rules do not favor them. Sisters have very medium saves across their army, so Benefit Of Cover was specifically good for them. However, a penalty to Ballistic Skill benefits them a lot less when a lot of armies have ways of circumventing that. There's inherently less counterplay, and, for units with Invulnerable Saves, I think removing a point of AP was a lot stronger for them than worsening accuracy. That isn't even the worst part of the new terrain rules.

I played on official layouts against Blood Angels. My opponent was playing Liberator Assault Group with no other detachments, so it was a pretty even match in terms of detachments. Despite this, I realized as I played that I could not draw a sightline at all. Terrain rules in 10th vastly favored shooting armies, and often melee armies needed boosts and synergies to contend with strong shooting. However, changes to charge rules mean that a unit in range to charge will often charge something, and as a sisters player there's very few units you can afford to lose. A charge that would have failed in 10th now succeeds in 11th, even if it wasn't the target they wanted. Additionally, with the new terriain providing more ways to resist shooting, I believe sisters, at least in bringers of flame, as an army with strong shooting struggles a lot. This is especially true since Sisters often have a very narrow range of circumstances to set up a win condition. To shoot meltas, you need to be within 6", need to move to a target, need to draw a sightline, and need specific units and synergies to make it work. This isn't because meltas are bad, but rather because no other army or detachment relies on them as their main tool for dealing with targets. This is also true because Sisters lack many of the conventional damage 2 options, meaning meltas, which are an inefficient way of killing medium wound infantry, are now more inefficient due to having less ways to get a sightline with them, and thus less meltas hitting overall.

I like sisters, so I think I will play them at some point in the edition. But I think I see them struggling a lot going into the early stages of the edition, and since points aren't something that can really be changed for them, I think they'll need more substantial buffs to overcome their issues, which might be hard since, having said they might be weak, I don't think they're the weakest army, so support may take time. I think the new terrain rules don't benefit them. I also think Disruption is a very strong force disposition, and I think Take And Hold is a weaker one in my experience, both of which do not favor Sisters.

So yeah, those are my takes as a new player playing Sisters. I don't think I'm good at them by any means, but these are my first impressions from playing Sisters for the first time in 11th.

Please be kind in the comments, thanks for reading.

Hello hello! If your name is SoapyMugs, Beef, Maddie or Satyr-san, please look away!

I'm running a Curse Of Strahd game. It's heavily rewritten, with a deep focus on occultism, psychological horror, dark temptations and desperation. The main inspiration is my absolute obsession Fear And Hunter, specifically Termina. I will give one final warning for my players. look away! I will put your romanceable NPC in The Box

So hello! Disclaimer aside, I'm running a Curse Of Strahd game inspired by Fear And Hunger. Another inspiration is my love of the 2024 Nosferatu film, and I've rewritten Strahd to resemble Count Orlok from that film.

A big focus of this is Strahd as a man damned by his depraved personality. He refuses to not indulge his appetites, and this caused the dark powers to smile upon him, trapping him in the valley. The dark powers believe humanity is at their most beautiful struggling and desperate, and so have trapped the valley to covet humanity undisturbed. The dark powers in this are eldritch and unknowable, with their blessings often indistinguishable from their curses, and players have multiple ways of bartering with the dark powers for blessings and boons that can help them defeat Strahd.

I'd love to answer any and all questions! Partially just to talk about my game, but also to find stuff that I hadn't considered and come up with answers for them! So ask away!

I have a one bedroom apartment. The windows aren't normal, and the windows are also only in the bedroom, so I decided to put a portable AC in the living room screen door.

The screen door is about 6 foot 7.5. The portable AC vent I thiiink is about 50 inches tall and 18 inches wide. I'm currently considering plexiglass to fill the rest of the screen door.

My main question is how I secure the whole thing in place. I need it to stay in my window, and not, y'know, fall out and shatter or come apart.

Any idea how to do it? My texas brain says duct tape, but I'm hoping for something less ridiculous.

I'm trying to design a Wildling class. The core identity will be an untamed, natural weapon martial that emulates monster abilities. The main issue I'm running into is the Attack action and niches.

It being an unarmed/natural weapon martial means its attacks will deal less damage, but it'll have to make more attacks to compensate. However, I cannot find a way to do this where it isn't just Monk 2.0

Does anyone have any idea for how I can differentiate this from Monk gameplay wise and mechanically?

My main thing is I feel strongly that each martial needs to play differently from level 1-2, and I don't feel like this class playing like Monk is good design.

I feel like, as I get into DND, I'm encountering a part of the TTRPG community that I struggle with. I'm a creative, I write as a hobby. I'm currently running a heavily rewritten Curse Of Strahd campaign where I rewrite basically everything. Even things I don't take issue with, I might rewrite just to get more of my creativity into the game. I love writing, so any excuse to write, I enjoy, and I'm doing so well, my players are having a good time, everyone's lines and veils are being respected, it's just all around a good time.

Yet, despite me being a GM of 10 years, with tons of experience across a ton of different systems, I am noticing an issue. Everyone is terrified of making mistakes. Every time I ask for advice, I get tons of advice on what not to do, and almost zero advice on what I can do that's new and exciting. No one is helping me write, I'm only getting hit with roadblocks and people telling me what I can't do. And often, what I can't do is different depending on the person.

I chalk this up to the Mercer Effect, weirdly enough. Everyone cautions you against doing something different, because it's not what people insist a DND game is.

I cannot imagine being a new DM who's trying to be, y'know, creative, because all you'll ever get is people telling you you can't do anything, and everything is a bad idea. But like, mistakes are part of the process, y'know? You need to write garbage to be a good writer. HP Lovecraft wrote some of the most influential horror of all time. He also wrote a story where a murder victim turns into a fly and buzzes around a clock and drives a man insane. Writing bad is a crucial step in writing good, and you gotta have games that fail, everyone laugh and you learn from it to be a good DM.

God knows I've run bad games before, but learning from them is what made me a good GM. Now I'm at a point where I communicate with players, I listen to what they want, I make sure everyone is heard and having a good time, and that's only possible because I learned from my mistakes rather than trying to obsessively prevent them.

I am giving you my permission! This goes out to any new DMS out there. Write cringe! Write dumb OCs and AUs so bad that AO3 would call them awful. As long as everyone has fun, who cares if it was dumb and stupid! Be free and be cringe!
