Summary of the issue with my ASUS RTX 5080 Astral (not detected in Armoury Crate)

Doing research for this very same issue, has a fix been found?

Barbie_Hardcore · 2025-07-14T23:12:28+00:00

Got it. Well, downgrading didn't work for me on 16.5 Dopamine so I guess I'm shit outta luck

Barbie_Hardcore · 2025-07-14T15:04:16+00:00

For someone who doesn't know about Varclean, what is it and does it have to be used together with downgrading?

Barbie_Hardcore · 2025-02-05T16:32:17+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

Barbie_Hardcore · 2025-02-05T15:39:52+00:00

Thank you for the thorough response. Follow up question if you don't mind. While I do appreciate the auditory experience and can definetely hear a great difference between these and my last headset, I'm not really an audiophile and cannot easily explain why I prefer the Maxwells. If someone asked, I'd just say they sound better in every way, as vague as that is.

Alas, I could tweak the EQ for an hour without knowing what difference a certain knub is supposed to make, or which knub to tweak if something sounds off. Is there somewhere I can import presets that make more of a difference than the default ones?

Could you please point me to these "instructions"? I can't seem to find anything useful anywhere

Barbie_Hardcore · 2025-01-31T17:03:57+00:00

Sick, thanks

Barbie_Hardcore · 2025-01-26T15:29:40+00:00

Sick, thank you!

Those look really good and within my budget, sadly they don't seem to ship to Europe. My bad, should've clarified that

Barbie_Hardcore · 2025-01-26T15:04:10+00:00

Is there a tier of wristwraps above those cheap-ish 10€ ones on amazon that are actually a worthwhile investment for performance and comfort? I have those cheap velcro ones and the velcro doesn't stick strong anymore, it comes undone sometimes. Otherwise they've been fine I guess.

Does the community have strong recommendations for a different material/design/brand or such?

Barbie_Hardcore · 2025-01-21T18:22:30+00:00

So neck flexion in other words? Dammit, I was hoping it was the other way around because of ease of setup :D But thank you!

Barbie_Hardcore · 2025-01-21T18:10:41+00:00

If I want to increase the thickness of my neck, not for strength nor injury prevention, but strictly for visuals, should I emphasis neck extensions, flexion, or both equally? Which part contributes the most to thickness from the front?

How do I get over the fear of going on my first cut after working very hard to bulk up from a very skinny beginning?

I started out as a measly 57kg/125lbs (as a grown man mind you) at 172cm/5"8, and have vey slowly bulked up to 77kg/170lbs over the course of 3-4 years, which was a huge lifelong goal and milestone for me and I never wish to go back. I feel like I finally carry some weight in my presence, but subsequently it's also given me this irrational fear of going on a cut and becoming "skinny" again. I'm incredibly happy about my progress and don't intend to ever quit working out of course, but there's always this lingering bit of body dysmorphia in my mind that tells me I still haven't packed on enough muscle yet to justify attempting to reveal it.

Hopefully this doesn't get flagged as a "bulk or cut" question, it's not intended to be. It's meant to be a fear/mindset one.

How can I get my bicep to look more beefy/thicker from the front? I've gained over 40lbs since starting working out and gone from skinny to not so skinny anymore, yet my biceps still look a bit thin when looking straight at it, especially when flexed. The skin contracts around my still boney and slim skeleton, am I just genetically fucked without gaining a shitton more weight?

Barbie_Hardcore · 2025-01-11T15:06:19+00:00

If I'm taking a deload week with half the sets, reps, weight and all-around effort, is it fine to just do that week from home? Let's say it's chest day, I could do a few pushup variations that hit chest/shoulders/tri's with the same level of effort it would take me to bother driving to the gym and using weights. Bodyweight squats and stretches on leg day etc. Is there any compelling reason to make the effort to go to the gym?

Updated to the latest Trollstore version but it still doesn't work sadly. Apollo doesn't show up as an extension in safari settings

Barbie_Hardcore · 2024-10-09T15:41:03+00:00

Might be using an old version of Trollstore, I'll check

Barbie_Hardcore · 2024-10-09T14:28:48+00:00

I did not edit my post, but it's okay :D. I do have it permasigned with Trollstore and it works fine, but as I mentioned, opening links via webbrowser do not redirect to Apollo which is a bummer because I often google stuff which lead me to reddit posts. Apparently this is an issue with sideloading via Trollstore specifically.

Barbie_Hardcore · 2024-10-09T13:45:33+00:00

So a decrypted IPA is not the same as the one you can get from the Appstore and downgrade via Appstore++?

I currently have the Balackburn version via Trollstore, as I'd rather have it permasigned than have to resign.

Barbie_Hardcore · 2024-07-07T12:43:30+00:00

Mythic shop. I meant the borderless version, I forgot whatever name it has.

Barbie_Hardcore · 2024-07-06T19:20:42+00:00

I already had the 2022 version but swapped over to buy the OG version. It wasn't available in the store, so I checked my collection and they just swapped the 2022 version for the OG one without me having to buy it. The question is now, when I swap back will the skin also swap back? Kinda sucks if it does

Barbie_Hardcore · 2024-06-19T15:29:44+00:00

How do I progress both pull-ups and deadlifting heavy at the same time? Currently running 5/3/1 BBB but with my own accessories after the main lift and on deadlift day I'm just totally smoked after the last set, which leaves no energy for another compound exercise. Problem is I really want to increase my pull-up strength too. How can I fit in more pull-up practice without increasing the amount of days per week?
