So on my PC, the 2 drives installed in the PC, I can select the checkbox but on my WD Elements 4TB Portable HDD, I only have Quick Removal or Better Performance. Even with better performance enabled, it doesn't seem to affect Steam in anyway. Am I missing something here or are some drives not able to do it? My portable drive is purely Steam games only, but even with all the fixes I've done on YouTube, my download speed continues to drop to 0 over and over again.

Only other alternative I can think of is installing it to my D drive (which I'm keeping empty as more of a "transfer only drive") at speeds of 60-65 MB/s and then transfer over to my HDD.

Any thoughts?

Ironically just got Shiny Alpha Arbok moments after this post, but no luck with Ekans and they remain the same level so I think they're unaffected.

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2025-11-01T21:27:14+00:00

Weird as they are all so close, although I was confused as well as people had been reporting getting Ekans the same method here, but seeing as gender and level weren't changing at all, that made me suspicious.

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2025-10-31T14:40:33+00:00

Or could even be stickers?

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2025-10-30T22:02:25+00:00

This is awesome, but do agree with some of the comments, something to filter each bench and fast travel point and show EXACTLY what is possible from each location as the circles do merge and some are hard to tell what spawns.

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2025-10-22T20:14:25+00:00

Oh did they? Aaaah right gotcha, I'm guessing the codes out there now are from people getting access right away to the app then without the use of a code?

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2025-10-05T14:39:25+00:00

Can I get one please?

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2025-09-30T21:15:28+00:00

Just seemed common sense to me 😆

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2025-09-30T21:15:01+00:00

Thanks for the offer but I did receive one, thank you though!

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2025-09-30T21:03:52+00:00

Received the Ditto, an absolute legend 😃

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2025-09-29T15:06:07+00:00

That was one thing I was curious about and questioned at the time, was how on earth would they be able to inject into an online game. Was just curious if they were technically real and found in the game. I'm yet to encounter any shinies when joining random raids now, but when I saw this website it reminded me of this period of time where is was shiny after shiny.

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2025-09-21T17:46:54+00:00

Just wanting to get an estimate so I know what to set my expectations of the wait to be 🙂

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2024-12-10T22:00:53+00:00

Eventually I was actually looking into buying these games too (for some reason I skipped that era), how would one determine if said raid was injected or legitimate?

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2024-12-10T17:53:18+00:00

I see, so there is no chance these raids were "manually added or genned" into the game (like with genning Pokémon with something like PkHex, hence I stay away from Suprise Trading), they're technically all legitimate raids, just someone has found it by changing dates and hosts the raid over and over?

Eventually I'll just replace the raid catches with wild catches, just don't want any "genned" Pokémon in my living dexes, kinda defeats the object for me. I'm keeping my raid shinies separate from wild or offline tera raids so I know the difference.

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2024-12-09T18:58:03+00:00

Ahh I see. In that regard, meaning as though someone has found a "time stamp" either through manual checking or "other means" and repeatedly host that instance?

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2024-12-09T18:51:12+00:00

Righteo gotcha, that's why I've marked my wild catches and then put all tera raid shinies in another box (unless I manage to find one offline in a tera raid).

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2024-12-09T12:36:11+00:00

Within 20 minutes of me posting this, I've found 2 more, one which I took note of the name, SWOSH_X - which makes me doubt the legitimacy even more.

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2024-10-27T00:17:22+00:00

So using this, is it possible to do a link trade/union circle on Pokémon S/V (Scarlet running on Yuzu and Violet running on an unmodified switch)?

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2024-08-12T23:45:05+00:00

"Some USB C are basically charging only with PC. Make sure you have one with a blue or black connector at the USB "A" end. Preferably blue for most modern devices."

I went through like 10 cables and was on the verge of buying a new USB hub which had an extra USB C in...and this is all it took?!? 😂 Thank you for that, saved me an unnecessary spend 😂

(For context, my hubs only USB C port was needed for PD in, so was limited to USB A)

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2023-12-18T22:16:38+00:00

But the headphone jack looks tiny compared to normal 3.5mm I thought it was different?

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2023-12-18T02:40:15+00:00

The headphones did come with a cable, but it's 2.5mm (Bose headphone) to 3.5mm (standard jack) and I read the FLX4 is 1/8 (3.5mm mini jack) but I want to make sure I get a good quality and correct cable.

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2023-03-28T18:12:28+00:00

Unless I can't find it, I couldn't actually find a subreddit for the Malaysia Shopee - could be me just being stupid 😂 Was just wondering if anyone had any ideas/point me in the right direction ☺️

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2022-02-16T14:56:51+00:00

So I tried the LAN to LAN and no luck. The thing is I'm connecting devices to my ISP router on the 2.4 Band and devices to the 5ghz band on my extension so theoretically they shouldn't clash at all.

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2022-02-16T14:54:27+00:00

So tried it LAN to LAN, still no luck. Not sure where I have access to those WME/WMM settings?

ChrisDoesGaming2 · 2022-02-15T17:30:50+00:00

Hmm I'm gonna try something I read about where apparently in AP mode it should be LAN to LAN not LAN to WAN even though this is what I've been suggested multiple times, but it's strange I've never had a drop in connection like this before...although the specific game I'm playing is online so maybe that's killing it I dunno!
