    I got "lucky" and don't have a cap, but I did see a few options out here that did. Those would be the only options if there wasn't a microwave tower in range. Still, I do get throttled, their top speed offered is 50 mbps, and my latency makes multiplayer onilne gaming unplayable half the time...

    Depending on where the closet is located you could use a IR repeater cable to send a signal into the closet, or if your AVR supports it, a 3.5mm plug repeater that plugs in directly, then mount the repeater anywhere you want/can run it that will pick up the default IR remote signal (the celling...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    If you are going to keep it "forever", it's worth considering if it's at a discount. I would have it inspected at a third party shop though, so they could put it up on a lift to make sure the dealer is being honest. If the dealer refuses to let you take it to a second shop on the test drive...

    It runs "fine" on my GTX970 on the medium preset (over 30 FPS 95% of the time). If you have an Xbox, I think it may be on gamepass now for both?

    Fallout 4

    When I load mods on "modern" games, I usually look on Steam workshop collections, then look at when the mod pack (collection) was updated. Since Fallout 4 can go suck eggs, I dunno how well it's setup on steam workshop. Here is an example from TW: Warhammer 3:

    Since I didn't Werenado very far into 100, I was just going on Maxroll rating Wind Sheer less tanky and that Goblin Inc streamer comments that it's not a close range build, but I guess he could just mean that because he put "damage to distant" on all his tempers. At level 55 Pit, I was starting...

    This is what I have (sorta) done on my two most recent re-watches, but I stop after season 4. I don't regret watching season 5 or 6, but due to casting choices and to keep them close-ish to the source books, they couldn't come close to the first 3 seasons (which was the best Scifi made in the...

    I was using trample on cooldown for bosses and I was still standing (running) around OOM most of the time. Don't remember any talent to reduce cooldown, just the aspect that resets the cooldown on kill. So it's great for zipping around clearing a zone, but incredibly dull if the dungeon has a...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Bethesda was the level scaling pioneer in RPGs, with Oblivion. It's one of the reasons why Morowind is still their best game. That said, running alts in WoW through the "timewalking" level scaling, where it allowed you to pick an Xpac and spend your whole time there was nice, since WoTLK was...

    Helltide rep moves pretty fast if you fish for Maiden groups, then in the last 10 minutes, run around opening the small chests that give something like 125 rep each. Dunno where the stones are on the rep though.

    I've not seen either of those movies, besides, we are talking about real life here, not fiction! Plus, as he states, he identifies as the ghost with the most, and frankly, I believe him!

    Tibaults with Metamoph aspect looks very useful for bosses (too bad I don't have it) and while Hunters Zenith looks like it is the main thing that makes Tornado Wolf better than Pulverize for trash clearing & speed runs, it's unfortunately kinda useless on bosses.

    Depends on what you want, probably. I just counted ilev925 drops after doing half a helltide (chain maiden): at level 85 w/o a mindcage, 40% of the Legos I'm getting are 925. So, if your goal is gear, is there any other way to get 40+ ilev925 legos per hour before hitting 100 (90 w/ mindcage)?

    You can fish for maiden groups by "realm" hopping. Run out to the summoning area, then either relog or town portal then back should put you in a new instance. Even if I only pick up Legendries, I usually have to go back to town after about 15 minutes. A full Helltide only doing Maiden (w/ last...

    I will give them credit for a creative way to institute a catch-up mechanic and alt leveling incentives, but I don't know why people would keep playing in MoP after that. If you want the experience of being OP in the raids, just log into a regular character and go solo it?

    On the brake calipers, It could be paint or powder coating. It's not toooo hard to pull the calipers off if you follow the numerous videos on how to do it, then bleed the breaks afterward. Can even do it all solo, but it would be a bit easier is you had someone of 10 minutes to sit in the car...
