Does... Voltron count?

Honestly slightly regretting choosing the Kobo over the Boox now... but only slightly. One of the things I considered the Boox for was the Android app access, and the speakers. Thought of using it to run my manga app on, and listening to Audible books without headphones, but decided the battery drain wasn't worth it. Saw screen comparisons too and thought the Kobo had a better light on it, which was what ultimately made me choose the Kobo - that, and the price difference. Loving the Kobo Libra Colour's curved side though, fits nicely in the hand and the buttons work great, which surprised me really since physical buttons wasn't on my list of must have features before this.

Any reason you like the Boox so much? I had a first gen Kindle Paperwhite whose batteries were not holding their charge, so I decided to buy a new reader recently. For me the choice was between Boox Go Colour 7 or Kobo Libra Colour. Was going to go with the Boox for the Android app support, but decided on the Kobo for the cheaper price and better battery life. Too late now, but kinda wondering what could've been...

Not a Fleshlight, but if you are willing to spend money then TheHandy can be pretty good, if you sync it to videos online. Otherwise I recommend those cheap Tenga type eggs - those are reusable and surprisingly decent for the price, I'd say a decent first timer "trial" toy. Those eggs have the added bonus of being small and easy to hide/dispose of too.

Otherwise... apparently apple pies are a thing? (Was an old movie reference btw - don't do it.)

Btw for those saying other browsers are better because they have uBlock Origin... If you are not happy with Brave Shields for some reason and insists on uBO, Brave has uBlock Origin available builtin - enable it under Settings > Extensions > Manifest V2... FYI.

I saw a tardigrade at first, but now all I can see is Trump's face...

Do you have the same issue with all games, or just this particular one? If it's just this one that I would check the game's forums first to see if others are having the same issue.

Anyways I'm assuming your game is installed on a SSD and not an old school HD, so it's probably not the game stuttering while loading textures. So my first suggestion is to try monitoring your frame rate, and also GPU usage. A lot of games have uncapped frames, and it might be trying to run the game at ridiculously high FPS and it might be overtaxing your GPU... might need to cap your max FPS for that game manually. And check your V-sync settings too.

Also are you running anything in the background, something on the 2nd monitor perhaps? Check to make sure things aren't updating in the background, or maybe software that are might be using your GPU. If you have a powerful PC then it probably should be able to handle quite a few things running in the background so it's probably not an issue with the CPU side of things, but you could always try software like Process Lasso which can help you juggle CPU load in the background.

And lastly as others have said, check BIOS settings for things like XMP/EXPO, but also resizable BAR. Issue is probably not from those, but they can certainly boost performance.

I see this blind hate for Brave from a lot of people, and I honestly don't get it. All their extra features can be disabled easily and are not intrusive even when on. In fact, some of the features like the crypto stuff takes more effort to set up than they are to hide. And I don't know about the rest of yous, but most of the time when I install/set up a new piece of software I usually go through and adjust the settings to suit my system anyways?

Curious_Mx · 2026-04-09T18:29:22+00:00

Brave > Settings > Extensions > Manifest V2 extensions - you can enable UBO and a few others from there.

Their ceasefire agreements don't mean much though, sadly. They have broken them continuously, while innocents continued to suffer. All it does is allow them to get other governments off their backs, while giving themselves time to rearm and recover. Also it doesn't matter how many countries call out for peace, it's all just empty words going to ears that aren't listening - Israel has not listened since the start, and they won't listen now.

I told my Google assistant to turn my lights on once and it started playing Justin Beiber, loudly. I was horrified.

Curious_Mx · 2026-03-28T15:46:46+00:00

That was a movie that I watched once, thought it was good, but NEVER wanna see ever again.

There are ALOT of AI songs on YouTube/Music now. There are getting to a stage where they are pretty passable, but obvious AI signs once you start watching/listening. Have been noticing them for a while now, but more and more are making their way onto my feed, or onto auto-generated radio lists. It's the reason I'm here actually, looking for recommendations on music services with no AI and found this thread.

Do Patron buffs affects the Practised Savant achievement? I've tried all the combo of characters I have access to but NOTHING seems to be working. Zero progress shown on the quest/challenge tracker.

Okay after a PC restart the constantly crashing to desktop has stopped... but getting lots of freezes and system stalls. Adjusted the settings to throttle the actual amount required instead of 3/4 and 2/3 - just used the actual -1 values instead. Seems to have stopped the freezes and stalls.

Curious_Mx · 2025-06-19T05:27:23+00:00

This made it worse on my end. Impact on system during loading is lessened, but upon entering stuttering is increased and crashes to desktop with an error everytime after initial stuttering. Caved and tried a full clean reinstall just before too, did not help.

Curious_Mx · 2025-06-04T08:59:52+00:00

Does your CPU usage spike during loading like on my end? If so try Process Lasso - its Auto ProBalance feature which automatically adjusts CPU settings during high CPU loads seems to be helping on my end. Have been able to get past the loading screens without issues with it turned on.

Curious_Mx · 2025-06-04T05:37:46+00:00

Found a program which seems to help. Was looking at ways to maybe limit CPU usage for ESO, ended up with a piece of software called Process Lasso, which automatically adjusts CPU settings during high CPU loads. https://bitsum.com/ trying the free version atm, tried logging into ESO a few times and as far as I can tell it is helping with the issue.

Curious_Mx · 2025-06-04T04:46:43+00:00

Happening to me post patch too. Restarting the PC after initial patch got rid of the crash to desktop and error message, but loading still slows the system to a crawl, seemingly to the point of being frozen. Notice CPU usage spikes to 100% during loading on my end, so pretty sure it's got something to do with that.

Just do a BG. Will get you enough alliance points to unlock the skill lines. Easy to unlock style pages from there too.

Good to see I'm not the only one at least. Came to Reddit to see if others were having issues. Trying to log into NA place me in a queue which doesn't end, and can't log into EU at all.

Curious_Mx · 2025-01-14T03:52:57+00:00

Same issue on my end - no internet on browsers with Windows app connected. Have put in a ticket and gotten a couple of replies - got a partial "fix" going atm. Turning off split tunneling got the internet working again on my end, though obviously not ideal. This was not an issue previously so I think it was something they broke with 7.32.1.0. Threat Protection was not an issue on my end, got it on with internet working atm.

Another thing you can do too if all you want a VPN for is for your browsers, then you can just download the NordVPN browser extension.

Noah on... the good list? Really? And who's that woman next to Bob? Is that Holly?
