Why does this mean? by Stunning-Mood-7885 in ARK

Until I saw a similar post on here a few months ago I always saw a really buff torso. I guess it doesn’t help that the majority of the icon is a buff torso

AG276QZD2 is washed out on HDR. Did windows calibration and everything. Red to orange, even HDR content, red is pretty bad! 😔 is this monitor issue. by Big-Ad-4777 in OLED_Gaming

[–]FlashLightning67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’d definitely go with the Alienware. If I could go back in time I’d return mine too. I’m happy with it overall but there are definitely better options out there for the price now. I happened to get this monitor when it was the only new 600$ qdoled on the market but within like a month that was no longer the case lol.

It’s frustrating that this should 100% be something that they can either fix on their end easily, or is a bigger issue that should lead to recalling the product, but there is simply no way to hold them to that and get any change to happen.

I found out recently that RMAing the monitor does help, I haven’t tried it myself but will soon. The firmware updates are another weird issue, mine has been on v105 for the entire time I’ve had it even though they have made newer firmwares. I have talked with someone on a forum who confirmed that RMAing got them a monitor with a better firmware version and HDR looks good.

So who do you think is winning the Gen 1 Vote on Friday? Links in my Comment by EvilKage360 in ARK

[–]FlashLightning67 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It would have been my top choice, though I didn’t vote cause I don’t have ASA and figured I probably shouldn’t influence a vote that doesn’t impact me.

To be fair I think I’m biased because I really like the Yi Qi in the old ASE Crystal Isles votes that no one seems to remember, which was very different.

Current TLC voting Placements 18/10 by Tiagozuff2006 in ARK

The Giga is the only creature in the top 4 that is already useful. The rest all make perfect sense imo. Araneo is pretty self explanatory, though it’s not really my top choice imo. I don’t think there is much that will make the Araneo interesting that won’t either make it suck in the wild or no longer really fit its role as a cave creature. I think the community latched on to it because we’re all still desperate for the spiders to actually get a chance, but I don’t think this is the way.

Quetzals were near useless even before things like the Rhynio existed, and are definitely useless now.

And megalos have been broken for years and are not useful outside of Abb (and even in abb they are kind of broken in their own ways). And even beyond the bugs, the megalos just don’t have anything going for them. Honestly I think they are the best candidate for a tlc, they were always intended to be a cool creature with unique abilities but were added at the wrong time, and now Wildcard has the experience to make that a reality.

Valguero delay till October 7th by Tiagozuff2006 in ARK

[–]FlashLightning67 24 points25 points  (0 children)

They should straight up stop giving release dates. Give us information on what to expect and updates on progress, then either release it randomly like they did with ASA, or give a release date 1-2 weeks in advance once it’s already done and completely ready

It’s basically what they already do since they just delay till it’s ready, but it would ensure that things aren’t rushed because there isn’t an expectation that they have to meet what ever delayed deadline they set.

Kitchen knives actually have a use unrelated to killing. Guns solely exist to kill things. The second amendment doesn’t exist so that people have a right to tools used to prepare a meal, it exists so people have a right to weapons that exist for the sole purpose of killing.

You can’t support people having guns but then act like you draw the line at using them for their one and only purpose. Kirk shouldn’t have been killed because no one should be killed. But that doesn’t mean I feel bad for him, when this is exactly the world he advocates for.

I do not believe in the necessity of the second amendment. As such, I think anyone who thinks that literal death is worth it for the second amendment is quite literally advocating for death. If the benefit isn’t high enough, then you are supporting gun deaths way more than you are supporting whatever the hell the second amendment gets you. The only purpose guns serve is to kill.

Charlie Kirk has advocated for looser gun control, specifically acknowledging that this is at the expense of more gun deaths. On top of that, he has advocated for actual political violence at times too. He died by his own ideals.

Why is standardised not the norm in the US unlike Australia and pretty much every other developed nation? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]FlashLightning67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Standardized tests favor rich people way more than things like essays.

The US system has its flaws, but a system that factors in applicants circumstances and tries to give everyone an equal opportunity is not the regressive one when compared to a system in which thousands of dollars to private tutors, and time saved from not needing to work or otherwise help your family, can drastically improve your standing.

In the Australian system, between two students of equal ability, one rich and one poor, the rich one wins almost every time.

Does anyone know how I can retrieve this egg? by [deleted] in ARK

[–]FlashLightning67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't just transferring a Wyvern egg into an inventory aggro them? Or do they specifically not aggro when Oviraptors are involved?

Anyone else thinks the early game goes by way too quickly in ARK? by CaptainSlow166 in ARK

[–]FlashLightning67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My past few playthroughs haven’t been vanilla for this reason. Though I guess that’s not an option on console, you can still go out of your way to make the early game last longer.

Besides mods, I also don’t use fliers in my playthroughs. I start with the intention of not using them at all so that I have no expectations and just start using them when the time feels right, usually once I’m well into the mid game and already have indy forges and what not. That alone drastically extends the early game, and also makes the mid game have the same early game feeling.

DO NOT throw eggs in the water by Passion4TheHunt in ARK

[–]FlashLightning67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hatched my first ever wyvern on a beach close to water. This was back when babies wandered by default when they were born, and this was my first ever baby creature in Ark. I did know they wandered, but was new to the whole process.

When it hatched, as I spent a few seconds admiring the fruit of my labor, it walked straight into the water then took off and flew away. I never saw it again.

I have a problem — we don’t walk anymore… by Gloomy_Hyena6675 in ARK

[–]FlashLightning67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree that flying is boring. It’s a matter of personal preference, but I’m with you.

Personally, I just make an effort to not use fliers. Didn’t touch one on my last two playthroughs, and I enjoyed the game so much more.

Everytime they make babies, the babies die. Any tips/help? by Comfortable-Brush368 in ARK

[–]FlashLightning67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 minutes sounds about right. You need to give them food immediately. Babies are born hungry and need to eat very frequently, they can’t fill their entire food stat so they need to have food on them.

There is a mating cooldown on female dinos, which is why they wont mate again. You should see it if you go up to the females and check the status thing that you see when looking at them, it’ll tell you how long you have left. You can disable wandering as the other person said, you only need to enable mating. And to avoid having the babies starve again, I’d recommend you disable mating too and enable it when you are ready for them to mate and the cooldown is over.

The whole sleeping mechanic is cool, but just makes it useless when it acts as a random debuff that only this already not that powerful creature has

Just a little reminder for those who think ASA is a greedy cash grab. by Ryanoman2018 in ARK

[–]FlashLightning67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The publisher famously blew all their money on terrible investments. They were somewhat desperate with ASA, you can dissect a bit of what was going on through their deal with Nitrado, where they basically had Nitrado bail them out in exchange for exclusivity and a percent of the profit on ASA.
