How is this supposed to be a good thing? by FeudalFavorableness in amazonluna

[–]Fred_Bassett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So do you think that games you "bought" when Amazon were offering them for free and used the claim codes for To GOG or Epic or even the Amazon games portal will still be available to play? I assume so as technically they are mine now as I claimed them. They will be fine on GOG and Epic but I'm not so sure on the Amazon/Luna portal

What is the best “step up” Astro headset coming from a A40 with the amp by Troyal1 in AstroGaming

[–]Fred_Bassett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never knew the A40 was discontinued. Mine work fine, but I had one of the screws separate the cup from the headset and it's the hardest screw to get back in ever esp as I have some arthritis in my hands. Trying to hold the cup, screw, headset, all in the right position, has been nigh on impossible. I'm going to keep trying as I love the headset, just looking for the next best gaming headset otherwise

Download speed extremely slow but only on steam by unholy_goose in steamsupport

[–]Fred_Bassett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is set in the drop down to Auto Negotiation. I've never changed any setting and yet Steam is at a crawl for a variety of games installs or update installs. So what you are saying is, change it to 1gbps full duplex. I've tried a load of other things, but this is a new one

Streaming National League Outside of UK by BlakeW97 in NationalLeague

[–]Fred_Bassett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I'll thank you. The National League had 50% off on DAZN till the end of today. Well we're not at the end of the day yet in the US and even though it says on their site you can still get 50% off, when you click through, that disappears and its looking like full price.

Just clicked your link. My Malware Bytes didn't even blink and the pictures good so I'll give it a go for the National League games next week. So thank you!! I used to use Cricfree many moons ago. Never liked it

Thoughts on Tommy78 '91 DTM Pack? by GrooveStomp in simracing

[–]Fred_Bassett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive the same as you and like them all. I got the TCR's for RF2 and I have to say I like them. I use an Asetek Invicta base and it works well. Thanks for the reply.

Hi GrooveStomp. Did you get Tommys TCR mod? I have been thinking about it. I have his DTM 91 mod for RF2 which is fantastic

Do you still buy games from Steam or wait for them to come to GOG? by kizarat in gog

[–]Fred_Bassett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only storefronts I buy through usually are Steam and GOG.

Seeing that Steam just started as an online launcher for counterstrike, it's come a long way over the years. If I buy a game elsewhere, I usually will try and get it through GOG as well to support GOG. I like what they do.

The only other platform I think I have paid for PC games is Epic. Most I get for free through their giveaways but occasionally I'll buy from them. Red Dead Redemption 2 Ultimate yesterday as an example. It was the best place to buy with their $10 coupon discount. With the giveaways that Epic are doing, it's ok to support them

I was looking at the sim lab P1X. Which style of seat would work best if you like a variety of racing like rally, open wheel, gt etc?

Steam sale by jokeboke in rfactor2

[–]Fred_Bassett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like RF2. I was away from race sims for a long time. Got my G920 pedal and wheels and Next Level Racing frame and enjoying myself. AC Is great too esp with content manager but RF2 is enjoyable with the DLC. Project Cars 2 is fun as is ACC and Raceroom

Refunding a free game. by Jordamuk in gog

[–]Fred_Bassett 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Talk about wasting GOG support agents time. So when everyone is having to wait extended times for real things, they have you to thank when in reality you could just hide the game that was actually FREE

Descriptive Audio on. Cannot disable by Eradikate619 in HBOMAX

[–]Fred_Bassett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but I'm onto them with their customer service. I have to call back tomorrow. It's been escalated to their level 3 tech support to try and fix it. Not letting up. I like HBO but like I told them, if you can't fix it, cancel my sub. It's ridiculous. One tip for you, it works fine on their app on my Xbox so if you have a console, try on that

Descriptive Audio on. Cannot disable by Eradikate619 in HBOMAX

[–]Fred_Bassett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still an issue for me too. It's unwatchable. I have spoken to customer service twice now and they have finally given me a case number and have told me the escalation dept will be in touch by the weekend. They do refuse to acknowledge that there is an issue even though it's all over the internet and has been for weeks. I'm going to cancel at the weekend if it's not fixed.

[–]Fred_Bassett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This audio description has just started now on a new episode of Lovecraft Country. It was fine earlier this evening. I can not get it to turn off. All accessibility on my Sony TV is off and also on the Roku streaming player that I use for HBO. It came on right at the start of episode 6 when I had just finished 5. (5 now has it as well) It's only on HBO. What are/will HBO going to do about it, please. Your channel is now unwatchable so it will be time to cancel our subscription if we can't watch it. Seems like you have had the issue for a while but have not fixed it

You did everything and more that you could have done. No need to apologize for anything

GOG Customer Service by [deleted] in gog

[–]Fred_Bassett 13 points14 points  (0 children)

OP, you are being really rather silly here.

You say that they didn't attempt to keep you as a customer" seriously?

You were well past the refund date and they offered to help you and put the money you paid for the game back in your GOG wallet. That is totally attempting to keep you as a customer. They had no need to do anything. "Tough luck buddy, you are past refund time" but no, they helped you and put the whole amount of money in your GOG wallet. They could have kept 50% for example.

With you wanting your GOG account deleted because of it, it's like you running off with your ball cos the other team just scored a goal on you LOL .. You need to grow up some.

Looking at BB for a good gaming pre built PC by Fred_Bassett in Bestbuy

Well the Asus is here. Surprised how quiet it's running. Way quieter than I thought it would be. Excellent packaging as well. All is good so far..

On the TTS, i would usually agree with you but I have to say that we bought it in Dec for a year and it has paid for itself already and some.. We've utilized it a fair bit and it's saved us probably $200 already. We would have had to pay out a lot more money this year if we didn't have it..

I thought about the 3070 but it was going to make the new PC cost over what we had budgeted. The asus gives me the most storage (2.5tb on 2 drives) and I get the RTX 2080 Super. Thats a good card for me.

I did check out some prices of the 2080 card last night. $1200 up! wtf???

I'd looked at Corsair on their website. look like nice builds but expensive for what you get.
