My Competitive Loadout in Shadowkeep

Wow, it's been a while. I do apologize for my absence, life got busy.   Anyway, let's get right into it! New year of Destiny, new blog posts, hopefully. This entry will be discussing my competitive PvP loadout for Shadowkeep so far. It's been about a month since the Shadowkeep launch, so I figure this is a good time to fully document what I've been using to slay Guardians in the Crucible.   First things first, there is a solo queue playlist, and comp is now 3v3 Survival.

Day Twenty-eight - The Battle Rages On

Although the number one position seems to be set, the battle for top 10 and top 100 is raging on.   I just want to give my apologises for the lack-luster updates this year, I'm sure many of the veterans can agree with me that last years were of much higher quality. I really do appreciate you all sticking with us on this and pushing so hard during the event, and I hope to see you all continuing to fold further after the event so we can show the world just what team LTT can do.

Day Twenty-seven - Timeshifting

Well guys, the update is here, please be advised that this is 25 hours due to the changing of clocks from BST to GMT here in Britain. All further updates will be 24 hourly again.    It's seeming like I'm coming down with a cold so the next few days will be fun... not. But in the meantime why don't you guys have a look at the ranks and see where you're at.    Top 10 - 27.16$, top 50 - 53.78% and the top 100 - 69.46%.       as always:   Please re

Completed Build: Cyclone

Here's a pretty decent system that I built a week ago. I've been familiar with darkflash for around a year, so when I found out they had entered the case market, I decided to pick up one of their new chassis. I definitely got some NZXT vibes during assembly. Overall, the case was really enjoyable to build in.  Photo of the rig: Here's the full spec sheet, all prices are recorded in USD after taxes:  CPU- i5-3330, w/motherboard  CPU Cooler- Intel Stock, w/motherboard  Moth

Day Twenty-six - The Crown Is Shifting

Well guys, as the events starts to draw to a close its looking more and more likely we will be crowning a new king in just over a weeks time, but there is still time for change, but only with something extreme.   Well after a day of work its nice to come home to see everyone still folding, @Yggdrasil128 my hat is off to you, you fine gentleman, no matter he outcome I believe you have stolen the hearts of the people.      Top 10 - 27.61%, top 50 - 53.47%, top 100 - 68.50%

Zeal Sakurios - Not So Smooth Criminal

The Sakurios is a silenced linear switch from ZealPC, the Sakurios is a re-colored Zeal Healios switch with a 62g spring, and comes in a light pink tone. The Sakurios' sister, the 67g Roselios, comes in a more saturated pink to the Sakurios.   These switches are costly at $1.20 a switch at the time of review, and I bought 70 of these for myself unsponsored using my own money. Due to this, I had high hopes for this particular switch due to its price as well as its hype, being a re-color

Day Twenty-four - The Heat Is On

Well guys,   The heat is on in the race for the top few spots, the truth is there are skirmishes popping up all throughout the leader-board, the top 30 is a particularly dangerous place to be, with the battle for the number one spot the way it is, we have to ask, are they in breach of the Geneva convection?   This is going to be a quick one tonight as I have rater spicy curry and I think I'm going to cry shortly.    top 10 - 30.30%, top 50 - 55.40%, top 100 - 70.01%

Day Twenty-Three - Clash Of The Titans

Well Ladles and Gentlespoons,    The fight for the top spot has gone from standard folding to full on nuclear warfare, With the king bringing in over 36 million points, but @Yggdrasil128 is blowing him outta the water with just over 41 million points, if he was a team of his own he would be 11th in the world. This is very much a real clash of the titans, but who can pull out all the stops and play that organ at full power... only time will tell.    @SynapseBreak is looking to

Day Twenty-Two - The Gloves Are Off.

Well it really has to be said, the guys at the top are pulling off the gloves and are going at it bare-knuckle.   I'm not going to be going through stats and the like as you can see them for yourselves and the truth is I am very much thoroughly drained from yet another night at the hospital, it's good to be home though. I just want to give you all a big thank you for the level of dedication and commitment you are showing to the cause.    We have the chance to make a real diff

Day Twenty-one - Production Boost

Evening everyone. With the event still going strong we have just over 2 weeks left in the event and an estimate of 2.2 weeks to take the 8th spot on the overall list. But I personally think with a little elbow grease we can get it done before then so all steam ahead. But into the inter team battling:   in now first with a commanding amount of PPD (almost 30 million) is our king @Den-Fi with 361.2 million points. Having taken 2nd place a couple of days ago we now have @Yggdrasil128 with

Day Nineteen - Shifting Focus

Well hello there ladles and gentlespoons, fancy seeing you folding?   We are now most certainly over the half-way mark, its time to take a look a little further down the table, many of the prizes from ourselves and LMG are aimed at the top 100, so, lets have a look who has a chance to break past the century point!   In 101st we have @mparker42 with 19.4m whos production could see him push past the 100th mark, the same could be said for @VCInventerman with 19.3m, @Psycho-Ben w

Day Eighteen - placeholder

Well another day another dollar. As day 18 passes by we are now over the half way point in the event. And at the current production rate its looking like we might take that 8th place spot just before the end of it to add a little cherry to our ice cream Sunday of a folding month. (Sorry if your lactose intolerant). But you're here just for the team stuff so into the dirty stats competition.   In first we still have @Den-Fi with a whopping 290 million points and will soon be the first t

Good Morning ladles and gentlespoons,   We are her with yet another update, oh how times are exciting here at folding month 2019!   We have had all the plot twists, a fight for the number one spot continues to be stirring, the top ten is being shuffled more than a deck of cards being readied for blackjack and the best of all, my baby has begun the process of sleeping through the night(for the most part).   So, oh yes, the ranks, I know why you are all here really an

YOK Purple Trash Panda - The Scratchiest Tactile I've EVER Used

The YOK Purple Trash Panda is the tactile (and purple) edition of the YOK Trash Panda, a linear switch which is made to be a base in the Frankenstein switch, the Holy Panda.   What sparked my interest about the YOK Purple Trash Panda - which I will be referring to as the Purple Panda - is that the product description across NovelKeys and mykeyboard.eu as well as other keyboard forums was that they described the Purple Panda as having the same actuation and tactility traits as the famou

Day Fifteenth - Mix Up At The Top

Well guys, we have seen some mixing up of the top 20 or so over the last few days, I may have been knocked down a couple of spots but that's great. I love the fact you guys have thrown yourselves at this and we are really making a splash. But, please, remember that Folding needs compute power all year round, so even if you are only hitting it up in the winter months, keep on folding after the event guys, we could all be making a difference.    I'm not going to be talking about the top

Gateron Ink Black - Smooth Like Silk

The Gateron Ink Black is essentially a Gateron Black with a transparent, smoky housing and a black stem, and is highly regarded as one of, if not the most smooth MX-style switch on the market, rivaling that of Zeal's Tealios V2, and the Vintage Black. The Ink Black is a fairly medium-weighted switch, requiring 60g of force to actuate and 70g of force to completely bottom out. My personal preferred weight for linear switches is anywhere between 62g to 67g so the 60g of actuation force is ver

Two weeks down and what a two weeks they have been. Between taking 9th spot overall, to outproducing curecoin to become the number one producing team, to yesterday having half a billion points in one day! Who knows what will come next all I know is we are up for the task now into the individual stuff.   As our leader in first we have @Den-Fi with 220.9 million points. Behind him we have @Gorgon who had the number one spot until a few days ago with 211.9 million points but both are in t
