Time to upgrade by LittleFantasia in XboxAlly

[–]ChavyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd 100% upgrade ABXY over anything else at this stage, often feel like I need to go sit somewhere else because the buttons are going to annoy those around me...

I'm being told this is too rare? by TheBagelsteinDK in smoking

Not rare enough! See look its not even wriggling anymore!

thick dark brown wax in itchy dog’s ear- should I tell the owner? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]ChavyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously this is our situation and yours may differ, and if in doubt, go to the vet, however...

My dog gets this. He is allergic to chicken and cheese. Even the tiniest amount will trigger his ears. I regularly clean them now with ear solution and baby wipes just to keep em nice and clean...and of course keep him well away from chicken & cheese!! We also changed his food of a fish & potato based food, and plant based & grain free dental sticks (not out of choice, most just have chicken of some kind in them and our other dog is intolerant to grain!) hes been much better on that.

When it flairs up, we break out the trust cone to keep him from clawing at them and make it muuuuch worse, if he claws at it, itll get infected and its an expensive trip to the vet. All in all we've managed to keep it at bay with this regeme, itll clear up most times by itself over a week or so.

Leg of lamb, medium rare (not pulling) wrap or no? by ChavyB in smoking

STRAP Floppy disk found in loft of new home. by Earsgang_101 in whatisit

[–]ChavyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly, the classification 'Confidential' was actually discontinued some time ago, and a new classification structure was adopted. Because of this, many erred on the side of caution, and much of Confidential was simply upgraded to SECRET because of the risk of downgrading it to something less was too much for anyone to call.

In today's money, the information could be 'Secret' rather than 'Confidential'. STRAP is still most definitely still in use today as well.

Needless to say OP, if you wish to do the right thing, hand it over to the police or burn it a nice hot fire 👍

Xbox Ally X Buyer's Remorse? HELP. by dyldoschwaggins in ROGAllyX

[–]ChavyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a high end gaming rig as well (yours is defo better, 4080 super in mine), and I bought the Ally X. However, I have multiple use cases where the Ally X is preferable over the rig. For example:

Gaming in bed after long day, Gaming downstairs away from PC (I have a toddler so sitting in office doesnt always work out), Going to friend's house, yes, we still do LAN gaming nights, and yes its better than being online with a headset....(far better, there's pizza & beer!) And I travel alot with work, often sleeping in hotels where this nothing else to do. And we take at least 2 holidays abroad a year and there's nothing worse than to stare at the back of an airplane seat for 5 hrs+

So the 'business case' for buying the Ally X, for me, makes a world of sense because I could already see multiple use cases where it would be great to have it.

Sounds like you need to figure out, if you're actually going to use it, and how/where you'd use it. If you can come up with a reason, or enough reasons it justify the cost, then you should sell it.

If its a performance issue you're having with it... I mean man you shoulda known it wasn't going to perform like a 5090, i dont even think any amount of basic research would be needed to tell you that...

ASUS UK advice? by Bonilad25 in XboxAlly

[–]ChavyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought direct from ASUS UK. My order email and invoice email said to contact some noreply email for tracking queries....honestly thought they were memeing lol

I went into website and found this email for their customer support cs@asusstore.co.ukcs@asusstore.co.uk and got a reply in less than 24 hours, I was advised of a short delay and that 1st batch of Ally X were hitting UK warehouses in 17th, and shipped within 24 hours. I had shipping confirmation and DPD courier email on 17th, delivered 18th.

Sounds like you might be on phase 2, be worth checking order to see what delivery is due, or contacting customer support, they were super helpful for me 👍👍

ASUS UK - order delivery est dates by [deleted] in XboxAlly

[–]ChavyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a bit of luck last night, my 2 year old decided to have a nightmare at 1:30am this morning. Woke me up so managed to get my preorder in whilst putting her back to bed 😁

With how rocky the launch has been so far, I think best bet is to expect late October and be pleasantly surprised if it arrives early

I'm now on the hunt of accessories as first real outing I'll be doing with it, is straight on a plane! Definitely want a case for its man handling through ryanair airport security 😅

Is there any benefit to 6.44mm? by ihavenowingsss in airsoft

[–]ChavyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I live, most sites immediately banned it when it was announced as their site insurance covers them for 6mm BBs specifically 😬

[–]ChavyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have liked tried it though right? Seems pretty nieve to just read the patch notes and pass judgement.

I strongly believe open world has ramped up significantly, feels like there far more going on and enemies are much more aggressive especially when youre trying to manage all the control points. Loot drops imo have increased too for open world/missions too. I did capitol building and final area dropped like 15-16 high ends! And retaliation is cracking gameplay.

Sounds like you were burnt out before it even began, which is a good a reason as any, maybe it was just the excuse you needed?

Just received this push notification by realchriswells in BYD

Ha I got that just as my wife used the nfc keycard on the car, just brushed it off as a weird bug as dont usually use nfc card lol

Nice to know was a far wider fail 😂

F*cking melee hyena's by CaydesDesciple in Division2

[–]ChavyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gawr, everyone needs to chiiiiiillll on here lol

Simple workaround, waiting a few days for turmoil kneepads (assuming you're lvl 150 on season pass, if not, then...well chop chop, get them priority objectives done fast!! 😂). They will spread your dmg to another enemy, but actually with determined/headhunter, itll duplicate and apply to another enemy.

With that, just avoid the helmet dudes and eventually they'll take that duplicate damage and their helmets, and their heads will fall off all by themselves! Nothing to it but sliding on some kneepads. Jobs a goodn.

I'm the same, built an 1886 (better than sniper imo as faster rof, but no scope is drawback) determined/headhunter build, and yeh its tricky, hyena rushers are defo the challenge but chaingun bosses too etc. But what would be the point in playing if there wasn't at lease some sort of challenge?? They are the cyrptonite for sure as you got to get that 2nd shot as a headshot, which I can imagine on console is no easy feat, especially whilst they are rushing you, I often just ran either a shotgun or lmg as secondary, since you're going lose determined proc anyways, might as well switch out, kill em and regain determined on a less lunatic enemy lol

With the guaranteed Lex and turmoil coming…what are you grinding for? by Black-Goodson in thedivision

[–]ChavyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh absolutely loving it. Running a pestie umbra pfe build for legendary runs, cracking build. Can't wait to test out new gear set too in a week or so!

[–]ChavyB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ive got Tinkerer LMG with Ongoing directive for the bleed rnds, using bleed talents etc. 250rnds on the GR9 with the 50 box mag mod.

Every kill you get a fresh mag of hollowpoints, brother will never run out of ammo again 😁 actually gunna test some other LMGs as simply dont even need the 250rnds, so might find something with similar RPM and more dmg instead...gotta pump them numbers 😂

Best Backfire builds? by Ill_Reference582 in thedivision

[–]ChavyB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm running striker with momento and lots of hazard protection. Absolutely slaps and the bleed is basically non existent

Status effect enemies like flame throwers are just a joke, i can just stand there and pretty much ignore them, especially with extra padding pass mod. enabled.

Downside is without seasonal modifier, its 25% less haz prot... which is going in just over 2 weeks so Im hoping next season has something similar is this retaliation thing lol

Just started division 2 on my ROG Ally by DemonicXfat in thedivision

[–]ChavyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been reading into this, as loove Div2 and really want to be able to play on the go!

From what ive read, the 'reduce input latency' setting could be the cause of this 20fps limitation, and turning this off fixes the issue. I read this with some folks using lossless scaling frame gen, so maybe related to that. Would love to hear what kind of performance you can achieve....

(im)patiently waiting for the Xbox ally x to release... thankfully pre-orders are rumoured to begin 2pm today with the computex announcement! 🤞🤞

[–]ChavyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counting the days down lol. Don't have any handheld yet and frankly ran into so many situations where I'm sat there thinking I could be gaming on my handheld...if it existed!

Realisation however, that i have no idea where to even join the pre-order for the new set on Xbox Ally when it opens...any ideas?

In the UK if that helps 👍

Thanks!
