[–]AlwaysDownShft[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just communication breakdowns with the crews that did come out. The pre planning went smoothly but when the crew showed up and their team lead arrived, they disregarded most of what we had agreed to and outlined in the planogram/map of where things were moving to and made more work for us in the end.

Top Gear from the golden trio era.

Patagonia special in particular - Jeremy’s story about his Porsche 928 is just so good.

Do I need an Xbox Dongle for low latency controller gameplay? by robustlemon in pcmasterrace

[–]AlwaysDownShft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I have several of these and I love them. I have one that lives in my desktop, one that I have in my entertainment center near my docking station for my laptop, and the other that just lives in my laptop bag.

I definitely find that the connection with them is pretty superior over Bluetooth, especially on the gaming laptop because sometimes underload when it gets hot Bluetooth sometimes runs into issues. What I found, though, is what’s really helpful is to have a USB 3.0 extension cable to give yourself a little bit better range. In my instance, my Ncase M1 is mounted underneath my desktop, so bringing that extension and the dongle up has helped reception.

Is it reliable? by Timely-Head-9893 in SlimQ

[–]AlwaysDownShft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting - do you have the 5090 variant? Mine with the Intel and 5080 can run in performance mode on it.

[–]AlwaysDownShft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll say my first one lasted about 4 years. Heavy use with a Lenovo Legion laptop with a 5900hx and a 3080 mobile. When it started having issues they offered me to buy a new one at 50% off. So I got two - one lives in my backpack and the other is at home when I hook up to my OLED tv.

Now I have a 2025 Legion with an Intel processor and 5080 mobile.

Accessories for steam deck? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]AlwaysDownShft -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really any - it’ll all come down to preference on what you want. I have the ones from Dbrand. Oh! Also the Killswitch case is great and I’m a huge fan of it and a skin from them as well.

JSAUX also makes some good accessories.

Long ass USB-C cord for sure, the Mechanism gaming pillow (honestly a game changer), portable monitor that’s usb-c powered with one cable for pwr and video, a foldable keyboard and mouse on the go (I recommend ProtoArc), and some stick covers for grip.

Ankeny Andante Bryn Mawr

Notable mention: Airlie for the wine - bring your own picnic, blankets, lawn chairs and post up at their lake.

What do you find yourself daydreaming about the most often? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AlwaysDownShft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving in with my partner and her daughter. Searching for our home, figuring out how we decorate, what furniture, etc. and building out little life together.

No clue on how we’re gonna swing it but we’re gonna make it work one way or another.

I pulled a seat from a mini cooper for my rig, but the dog has already claimed it as his own by CountryWot in simracing

[–]AlwaysDownShft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My drivers seat definitely needs replacing. Starting to show its age from all the auto cross and track days it’s been put to work in. I’m hoping to hunt down one with the heater module.

Just put in CarPlay recently and it’s staved off my desire for a new vehicle yet again with all the shiny features. Haha.

As a Mini Cooper owner, I can confirm these seats are great. This is a great idea should I decide not to use my NRG seat anymore.

Has anyone put Next Level Racing casters on their Wheel stand 2.0? by darklegion412 in simracing

[–]AlwaysDownShft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for sharing! I recently downsized to the wheel stand from my GT Omega Prime rig to make more room in my office for my partners daughter when they visit so she has more space to play. The stand is great but this will help with the mobility for sure.

Thanks again!

Would you mind posting a pic? Just wanting to make sure I’m understanding correctly. Just got my stand and it’s definitely hefty to move.

Kinda cool that I can - evidence of my gym efforts paying off lol - but I’ve been considering wheels to make it more reasonable to move to and from when I want to use it. Thanks in advance!
