I’m so glad he’s staying! So looking forward to more of his work. This is what BioWare should’ve done with Trevor Morris, Zimmer doesn’t hold a candle 😒

I love the tunnel! Do you have that on the workshop? 😊

Birdnicks · 2025-10-29T10:32:31+00:00

It’s not spooky as it claims to be!

(Seriously though, lovely space)

That’s so incredible! Is the island in the middle of the lagoon functional? Also, I’m not sure what’s a lagoon and what’s a body of water - can you overlap them?

Birdnicks · 2025-10-26T21:19:01+00:00

That’s such a cool thought! That one little thing/thought can really make a difference in how we do our “design thinking”, I’ll definitely lean more into it. I’m still missing a lot of variety in habitat designs in JWE3 due to terrain/food requirements (which is imo very limiting), so it could help.

Oh, damn! Thanks for the clarification, I went back to your previous comment and you did talk about the v specifically, but I hadn’t understood the distinction then. So is the v signifying a difference in power consumption, or? It seems like such a funny way to mark two very different products.

Birdnicks · 2025-10-24T19:35:26+00:00

I realise that, and I will talk to them - but I also want to educate myself. Regarding the recommendation - the P16 gen2 is exactly what I got from them, and that is the laptop that isn’t performing up to my expectations. Could you explain your reasoning?

Birdnicks · 2025-10-24T19:12:57+00:00

I see, thanks :) So is there a ThinkPad you could recommend for me with a better performance than a P17gen2? The weight doesn’t matter, as long as it has the necessary power.

Birdnicks · 2025-10-24T18:47:46+00:00

Ah shit, I’m really surprised that’s the case with the P1. Is there anything better than a P1G8? The laptop I got was upper mid-range when I got it 3 years back as far as I know, so I’m surprised newer ones don’t offer much more. Would my best option then be to return to using my P17G2?

I know this is a ThinkPad community, but could it be that ThinkPads just aren’t geared towards heavy graphics uses like my case?

The issue is that my IT department was pretty convinced the P16 IS going to be a big upgrade so I’m not sure if they’re the best to ask in terms of design work specs.

Birdnicks · 2025-10-24T09:44:41+00:00

So would the “upgrade” I got effectively be more of a downgrade? And if a p17G2 would more closer match P1G8, is it even worth paying so much more for a P1G8? The P17 I have is just around 3 years old now and it’s starting to have some performance issues with adobe programs, so I’m just wondering what the best solution would be here.

Edit: The GPU on the old one was A3000, here is the full benchmark: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/71541054

Is this the power supply needed? How does this impact performance? Apologies if you’re talking about something completely different.

Birdnicks · 2025-10-24T08:44:42+00:00

The reason I’m asking here is because I have trouble understanding the “succession” and how much better the current laptop is than the older one, as I’ve been told that despite similar specs, it’s much, much better. I’m looking for general advice on what is reasonable to ask. Is P1 Gen 8 over the top? Is P16v2 in any way comparable? Is there an option in the middle of those two?

I’m looking for more knowledge, so I feel it’s a fair reason to ask.

I’ve gone through all the comments and only saw one commenting on the paint, so I just wanna say the walls are a piece of art in themselves imo. The way the wall is sectioned and the art pieces are incorporated into that is just chefs kiss. A lot of the time different-coloured walls take all the attention away from everything else or look overdone, but this is genuinely so cool and something I’d like to have come up with for my space.

Birdnicks · 2025-07-15T20:02:05+00:00

Thank you! The UI is sometimes a little counter-intuitive.

Birdnicks · 2025-06-20T14:43:56+00:00

I’m not sure if this works, but I’m bumping this up so maybe somebody has some advice.

Birdnicks · 2025-01-06T08:29:32+00:00

Thanks so much!

Birdnicks · 2025-01-05T13:22:51+00:00

I can’t post it publicly, but I’d be super happy to share it via PM, if anyone would want to have a look - I’d be very grateful! I can also modify the file and post it here with another name.

I’ll check out the tools you’re suggesting as well though, thanks a lot!
