AMA The_Detonator_ by The_Detonator_ August 4, 2016 at 8:08 AM UTC

Hi, I was a staff member on mczone/Avicus for just under two years from the end of 2012 - the end of 2014. I was involved in the senior staff for over a year. I haven't logged in for quite a while and am willing to answer any question you may have for me across any topic.

opinions on me?

Do you still specialise in computer builds/advice? If iirc you used too.

Did you ever consider coming back?

Hey Detty! What have you been up to?

SnowSX3 August 4, 2016 at 8:08 AM UTC

How's life been?
Are you [thinking about] coming back to Avicus?

Seemed kind of annoying at times, but aren't we all? Very dedicated to the maintenance of the server while I was around and generally pretty positive.

Yes, I keep up on computer components, usually have a pretty good idea of what components go with what and recently "built" a computer from mostly second hand parts which runs bf4 60 fps on medium settings (sub $200 inc monitor).

Hey Detty! What have you been up to?
Big question to ask. I got into running last year, specializing in middle distance, also did a lot of weightlifting. Lost a good amount of weight in fat, grew it back in mostly muscle, and in the last month have stopped running and taking up cycling as my main sport. As for gaming, stopped playing for a while until I built my PC, and have recently been hanging out on bf4 and occasionally csgo.

Opinions on this build? http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Y8hbsY

I will just use the stock fan that comes with intel processors as I can't overclock this. I will probably also get a 500w power supply opposed too an 750w as I don't need it.

Life has been pretty good. Very unlikely going to come back to minecraft, the game doesn't have the attraction to me that it used to have.

I live in Sydney, Australia.
The name rings a bell. I guess it's you?

If it's the same price, go for it.

Pelpelajax August 4, 2016 at 9:08 AM UTC

If it's the same price, go for it.
Will do, thanks for the help
