New gaming setup!

14/9/2018

0 Comments

 
New setup! I’m so hyped! So I told you last time about me moving, and now I’m finally settled in in my new place!
As promised ill show the new setup where I’ll be spending too much of my time. 
Picture
​The gaming setup is straightforward. A 4-monitor setup on a table mount. Here I use 3x 27” Asus monitors. Let’s just say I don’t want this to hit the floor.  (Hence why I have an extra support foot for the table in the middle)

For the table I struggled a bit with myself what to go for. On one hand, I would like one of those mechanical tables where you can sit or stand. These are rather expensive and since I’m on a budget for this I decided to go for a more common approach. I choose to go for IKEA‘s Alex series that was my other option. These are modular and I could easily put together a table that would fit me. Here I have a 2m long table.
​As for feet, there were several options however, I decided to go for a drawer section and a cabinet. This sadly ended with a different colour into the mix, but it does the trick. This was I can hide away one of my computers that will be used as a server (specs here), the router, cables and whatever else tech that needs hiding.
Since I’m left with so much space I’ll get a more cleaner look than I’m used to and space enough for my project mess I tend to make. 
Picture
​As you can see from all the cables, it still need some finishing touches. The tripod has cables for the camera and this im not very sure about yet, so its temporary there for testing.
Also the microphone stand with the sound reflection filter is also something that needs a bit of cleaning up, at the moment this is the best place for me to have it. As you can see it also functions as my headset hanger. Ending up with many long cables.
It's not lube! its hand sanitizer, some of us likes to be clean
My lovely chair is from DXracer, best chair I’ve ever had!
And yes the shiny box to the right is me using my toolbox as a coffee table

Picture
​Drogon <3 my beloved pc. 
This babe has gone through many changes, for the observant ones you can notice the custom-made door I made a while ago, the inner parts has had some changes. 
A full description and go through of this one will come later.

Also you can see Dratini, my small LAN pc (specs here), under the table to the left here.
Next to Drogon next to the sofa is another toolbox, with small parts for my computers, screws etc.
from this side you can also see the nice colours of the reflection filter, special edition with a nice black/red theme. 

​So this is my current setup, will show you my xbox setup later too. Till next time guys :D
Meantime, check out the new designs in the shop!

​So much happening! Almost too much!
Life has jumped suddenly back to almost normal, being socially active and all over the place! Projects are going nicely forward and getting more and more active on YouTube as you already know. I’m soon moving houses for the first time, so that’s another new experience. 
So far, I’ve packed down everything I don’t use every day and fixed with paper work, new furniture, all the things needed for the first period of time and ordered some special things for my new setup.
It’s been much work going through everything I own, throwing away, selling and keeping. Sorted, marked, packed and moved to standby for moving day.  I think we’ll be able to move it all in one or two trips. 
​I’ll come back to how the new setup will look and show it.
Soon going on another weekend trip too, my calendar haven’t been this colourful in forever xD
Anyway this is the update on my life atm. See ya real soon!

Why I like Guild Wars 2

12/7/2018

0 Comments

 
Hi wonderful people!
So lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about gaming, life and how it all connects. As you know, my main game is Guild Wars 2 where I’ve put in lot of time and effort. it’s become a big part of my digital identity. As you may have experienced yourself, sometimes one wonders what’s the point of it all. For me it’s especially in the summers that I wonder why I bother.
Every year this far I’ve had breaks from gaming in the summer, since I travel, its warm, there is people to see and places to be. However, it’s slightly different this year.
​Now more than ever I have my life filled with new things happening and big changes are incoming. At the same time, I’ve never enjoyed myself as much in the online world as I’ve done lately. So I ended up doing a small project that will be the first of a few that will come in the future. I want to show you, why I like Guild Wars 2, what about it makes me smile and able to deal with whatever is coming my way in game. 
​So here we go, I hope you enjoy it! If you do please subscribe
(sound might be bit low for some of you)

Warning! Video includes derpy and funny moments and people, not the best fights ;)

Pasta adventure!

My latest adventure has been making pasta. Yes you read right, I’m making homemade pasta from the ground up.

I’ve have for quite some time watched a lot of food programs. Strictly dumpling and frenchguycooking on YouTube and Chefs table on Netflix.
​ I realized I’m bored of eating the same stuff over again, and since I’m struggling with getting ill from what I eat, not any direct allergies just not really feeling well after eaten stuff, so I decided to try to make it myself.

I started this adventure with something I love, pasta. the only problem that occurred is that a pasta dough need to be knead a lot, and since I have weak write that wasn’t really fun.  So my mother actually went ahead and bought me a paste machine as a present! 

​Now I can amazing pasta in no time! I really enjoy it. ​
Estimated time: about 40 min
This should give about 3 servings.
250g flour (all purpose or high gluten something)
120g water (you could use egg instead, keep the ratio the same)
Pinch of salt
  1. Blend it together until it no longer sticks to the bowl, it will be a hard dough.
  2. knead it for 8-10 min
  3. Put a damp towel over the dough; let it rest for 30 min.
  4. Roll it out to desired thickness and cut it into strips
  5. Dust them with flour so they don’t stick together, and shake the excess flour off them.

IF you have a pasta machine
2. Put the dough thru on the biggest setting and fold it between each round, don’t be afraid to use flour here, don’t want it to stick to the machine.
4. Put it thought the smooth part of the machine, one setting slimmer each time until reached desired thickness. Then put it through the cutting part of machine.
Voila! Pasta ready for cooking!

World versus World

19/11/2017

Introduction

​Today I will introduce one of the main game modes in Guild Wars 2: World Versus World.
Here is a bit of the basic information about the game mode:

Definition:

“World versus World (also known as WvW) is a Player versus Player game mode where players from three different servers, or worlds, battle in the Mists. It features open-world combat on five large maps with up to several hundreds of players per map. In World versus World, players can besiege objectives such as Keeps and Towers with siege weapons, and battle over resources, to win rewards for their world and World Experience for themselves.” –Wiki

Matchings of the worlds:

Resets every Friday, next matchup(MU) will depend on how well we played that week.
Worlds in WvW are matched up based on their ranking using a modified Glicko rating,[3] so that high-ranked worlds will battle other high-ranked worlds, and low-ranked worlds will battle other low-ranked worlds. This attempts to ensure that every world has a fair chance of winning matches despite differing levels of player participation or skill.[4]
Leaderboards for WvW rankings are updated online for both North America and Europe.

Goal:

​The goal is simple: Get a Squad of 50 people working together in different ways to earn points per tick (PPT). Ofc havoc groups and roaming works too, it’s a team game but remember to play to have fun.
​How can the squad do so? Mainly by these two ways:
Picture
Karma train- here you go around the border with your group and cap objectives. Gather more supply to build more siege to cap more objectives.

Picture
Fighting – Kill the enemy repeatedly, getting 2points everytime someone dies. This will be very nice if you win the fights and very bad if you lose repeatedly.  Guilds and fight commanders prefer this way.
What does one gain from this as a player? Karma, gold, loot, reward tracks, different currencies and WXP (world XP for your rank, doesn’t add to your normal character levels)

There are 4 different maps to choose from, 2 Alpine borders, a desert border and Eternal battlegrounds (EB)
Picture

Tools to succeed ​

Builds – This means to have Armor, weapons, trinkets and skill build setup with a specific function in mind. 
Tactics in fights – To follow a commander that knows what to do in a fight and follow what he says even though you may die. Remember it’s a game, it’s not dangerous to die. When he says push forward, you push. If he says stack, you stack as close to him that you can see your own character. 
Communication
TeamSpeak 3 or on some servers: Discord
This is where you can listen to your commander and report vocaly about your cooldowns, scout reports etc. 
Language used by commander:
  • "Blast"- Commander tells to use Blast finisher skills on certain fields.
  • "Bomb" - Commander tells players to place high damage skills in a certain area.
  • "Bunker" - Commander tells players to bunker. The Squad/Party hold their ground and place AoE in front of them and let the enemy run into it.
  • "Cleanse" - Commander calls for abilities that cleanse conditions.
  • "Empower" - Commander calls for guardians to use Empower, generating  Might.
  • "Hard CC" - Commander calls for crowd control skills to be used.
  • "Lines/Rings/Statics" - Commander calls for "line" type skills like   Line of Warding, 
 Unsteady Ground,   Ring of Warding, or   Static Field.
  • "Pump Boons" - Commander calls for classes that share boons, such as Mesmers and Elementalists, to begin using boon distribution skills.
  • "Purges" - Commander calls for players to use Condition Clearing skills on allies, most notably,  
 Purging Flames.
  • "Resistance" - Commander calls for classes that give  Resistance, such as Firebrands, Heralds, and Mesmers to share it with allies.
  • "Soft CC" - Commander calls for soft crowd control skills to be used. (Condition based CC)
  • "Stab1/Stab2" - Commander calls for 1 person per party to use stability. In an organized group, stability 1 and stability 2 will be assigned to certain party members.
  • "Water" - Commander calls for a water field to be placed on the ground. The player that places it might say "small/large water on tag" depending on the type of water field that was dropped.
Language used in text chat:
Why smart to know? Scouting
  • [Number] [Server] [Guild Tag] [Objective] [Borderland] (Except for Map Chat) [Siege] [Objective %].
For example this could translate to:
  • 5 FA [VAC] @ SWT, 1 Ram, Gate 80%.

​

How a guild like Chao plays WvW

Picture
​Chat is full or reminders, people gathering up in TS. Our own beloved commander picks his battlefield (borderland) based on observations and scout reports. How many tags are there? Are they open or closed tags? Are there any Q’s?

We meet up, joins on commanders squad. Food and guild banner placed. We use our own spanners. Double-checks our builds, making sure we have supply on us. Preparing for a few fun hours.
​
We run with a closed tag, which means only our guild members or people we invite are welcome to join us.
We all run Guild builds. Build made especially for us as a guild group.
We have static parties in the squad, people are used to playing together, know how their party plays.
We always communicate via voice chat, like TS (teamspeak3)
During the raid we recruit people on our way. 

How do we play? What do we focus?

​We capture objectives, fighting any group we meet on our way. We defend the important objectives. Most of all we focus on having fun

What’s the best way to learn WvW?

  • Always use Teamspeak to join the commander.
  • Get yourself a proper build
  • Play and learn as you go
  • Join a guild that fits your way of playing, they can help you in many ways.
  • Ask, ask and ask. Observe

The making of the IT server

9/11/2017

Picture
A while back, I needed and wanted a new server, so I made one. Today I’ll show you what used to make it and what I use it for.
​
Let’s start with main components:
  • EVGA 500W PSU
  • AMD Ryzen 5 1500X
  • ASUS Prime B350-Plus, Socket-AM4
  • Ballistix Sport DDR4 16GB 2400MHz
  • BitFenix Nova Midi Tower
  • WD Red 3TB 3.5"
  • Palit GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Dual OC

Thanks to my well times upgrade of my table on the room, I had a perfect place to do my build. When I did, it was streamed live on Twitch. This is where I do most of my work on my computers and other projects.

Putting the machine together was the easy part, whenever I needed and extra screw, fan or cable, I just reach out to my stash.
​
So what do I use the server for?
  • FTP
  • Minecraft Server
  • Music bot 24/7
  • Other different small things
Picture
Picture
​What OS?
​Well I had a library to choose from, but I went with wind 10 pro. With the ok decent GPU, it can be used for playing if needed.
​
Is it worth it having your own server? For me yes, because I use it with someone else. For my own sake, I could fit everything I could ever need in my own pc. In addition, looking into parts, ordering, building, setting up and using brings practise and lots of fun!

The story of Cyberzany

29/10/2017

0 Comments

 

The beginning

It all started a few years ago. IT was a time of hope and excitement, I was a promising apprentice in an IT department for a big Oil company.
Every day I learned something new and every day I got more responsibilities as well as trust of my peers. I learned about servers, physical repairs as well as work on the software, I learned the importance of good support service and personal interest.
I got to know people in the workshop and spent most my days there which made me the contact for the issues between workshop machines and pc’s. My peers and teachers did an amazing job teaching me and building my knowledge as well as self-trust with giving me the space and time with guidance to achieve.
​
All of this inspired me so I started a side project with a website that was called IT-Shizuma.com. Here I updated with my days as an apprentice and used it as a tool to learn. It also gave my co-workers something to talk and laugh about when I was around. 

The calm season

​The website had its ups and downs just like me. But it started again to take form and blossom with activity when I became an IT technician at one of the biggest hospitals around. Yet again I learned so much and go to experience different things than before. Surgery rooms, my own apprentice, other responsibilities and tasks. 

Promising future

Even though I was working at a hospital, I weren’t invisible to health situations. So the activity again dropped when my health did.
It was a time of curiosity and pondering, how to continue the website? What should I do? Who can I do it with? I had more questions than answers. But with time it again become active and its now in the start of a new era! I’ve found a new partner and together we will continue the work on the website that you see today as Cyberzany.com
​It will continue to be about life and random, by nerds for nerds. The goal is to give you something to read about that is either entertaining or interesting, hopefully both. 

Welcome to Cyberzany!

Pimp My Reol Part 2

14/10/2017

​Preparing and starting

Picture
Material acquired, plans made. Next step to start making the pieces.
The Build will be made in different parts, so we started off cutting the pieces for them. This really was a two-man job for us, the wood panels we bought were big and hard to handle on my own.
​The new table saw really did make a huge difference as we did it all manually last year. 
With some careful measurements and cuts we got the parts ready that we needed to get started on the build. 

Picture
We disassembled my one-man reol from last year as well as my brothers reol, the technical parts from here will be a huge help in the new build. And some of the materials are reusable. 
​You will however get to see major improvements and bigger, better sound system and other fun gadgets. Exactly what I won’t reveal yet and other I don’t yet know as I improvise and let the creativity flow. 
Picture
Picture
Above you can see a small part of the cut materials. There is still much more to prepare for the build.
​
In the next post I will show you how the reol starts to take form into something you can recognize.
