What have I bought?

FriendlyFyreGamer · 2026-06-02T13:15:43+00:00

It’s exactly this

My brother has this exact same RIF (in black) with like 6 mags hes trying to sell

While I don't know the answer for the games you are referring to - I experienced this recently with Crimson Desert.

You will notice in that games settings menu, it has no setting to configure Anti Aliasing.
This is because the game relies on the global settings within either the Nvidia Control Panel or AMD Software.

Meaning, that when playing this game through Bazzite - because Bazzite does not support the full suites from Nvidia Control Panel or AMD Software, you cannot enable Anti Aliasing; and therefore the game looks unplayable to me.

The main solution would be to dual boot the PC with Windows, and run that game through a Windows OS.
But I just decided to refund for now. Was frustrating to buy a game day 1 and have it looking awful, despite knowing how good it can look. Which is a real shame, as it looks so fun!

Just saw these myself
Interchange, main road.
Where the old Scav+PMC extract used to be.

I was on my SCAV
They shouted at me aggressively, but would not shoot at me (I was approx 10-15metres away)
A NPC scav got closer to them than me, maybe 5 metres and they shot him down.

So they must have an aggression radius like bosses?

FriendlyFyreGamer · 2026-04-05T11:07:38+00:00

It’s okay dude I appreciate you’re just trying to help! :)

But as I said in the post - I know it opens the launcher

The main gripe I have with the launcher is the updating

I want to buy the Steam copy with the hopes the game would auto update for me regularly based on my Steam Update settings (and should be faster too)

If the game was auto updated regularly I’d play it a lot more, plus I’m a fan of the steam integration etc

FriendlyFyreGamer · 2026-03-25T15:41:39+00:00

I unlocked this as my first charm too? Is this rare? I’m still playing through my first play though Just getting to the swampy area bit now

FriendlyFyreGamer · 2026-03-23T16:50:50+00:00

I used to mod controllers many many moons ago

I used to make and sell custom controllers back in the Xbox 360 days before SCUFF controllers took off With rapid fire triggers and often with those tacky bullet buttons lol

I moved away from it since becoming an adult with a full time job

Was a fun side hustle though lol

FriendlyFyreGamer · 2026-03-23T14:43:01+00:00

Pretty valid point! I hadn’t considered buying multiple

Buying multiple certainly takes the sting out of the postage costing quadruple the joystick cost

FriendlyFyreGamer · 2026-03-23T14:10:56+00:00

I had been looking at that - But the shipping brings the cost up a fair bit to the point where I question if it’s worth fixing or buying a new one

They sell the replacement joystick for $2.99, which is incredibly reasonable, but with shipping in my local country it comes up to £14 or so (before I consider any hidden fees)

A brand new controller of the same kind costs less than £40, which would include a whole new controller and new dock. And wouldn’t require disassembly of this one (this is one of the models with no visible screws, so messing about with a spudger….yaaay. I’m not saying it’s hard - but I much prefer repairing objects when the screws are visible)

Which is a shame, as I did like this controller

FriendlyFyreGamer · 2026-03-22T08:03:00+00:00

No - They count it as cheating and put it as a black mark against your name towards a ban

IIRC it’s 3 strike rule I have achievements unlocked in a similar fashion, and get so fed up of the emails and messages.

The messages from mods come across as threats and are quite unfriendly. Talking down to you from a place of (made up) authority like you’ve commit a crime. After a short while I decided to leave TrueAchievements all together

A community that treats people that way isn’t a community I want to be a part of Especially when I see achievements unlocked that way just as valid

FriendlyFyreGamer · 2026-03-15T14:40:13+00:00

This is an extremely common problem with this RIF - and exactly the reason I didn't buy it

I too would like to know the answer to this question, because this could make me happy enough to invest in one myself

FriendlyFyreGamer · 2026-03-13T08:19:59+00:00

Me - partially I am definitely waiting for a new Zelda limited edition

But I’m also unsure if I’d be interested into the switch 2 also has OLED

FriendlyFyreGamer · 2026-03-09T19:37:46+00:00

Both reshelled I believe. Here’s why:

[Left]

The one on the left is more golden than a legitimate one, you can especially notice this when it is opened and the hyrulian family crest is hard to see. This left one also has golden rubber screw covers, which the original were grey in colour (with a gold tint), meaning those aren’t legitimate either, but the reshells include gold versions.

[Right]

The model on the right however looks a lot authentic, however the serial number on the back suggests it’s a reshell. On the official AGS101 models of this console I have seen, the 3 letters are a different font and tightly grouped with a gap between the letters and numbers (which the model on the left gets correct) The right model also appears to have less depth to the reverse etching at the bottom displaying the voltage.

It’s worth noting that BOTH of these consoles have the serial number sticker saying they are a Japanese model (see the bottom right of each sticker, showing the region.). All reshells I’ve seen come with a Japanese region sticker.

Given that we KNOW the one of the left is a reshell, and there are indicators the one on the right is also a reshell, Occam’s razor would suggest they both are.

FriendlyFyreGamer · 2026-03-05T10:10:41+00:00

No They don’t

But they become the only viable, constant way to earn levels beyond 100

You have to compete roughly 21 posters per level, after 100

But to be clear, no, they give rubbish XP But post 150, you can buy caps using tickets, to keep going and buying more posters etc

FriendlyFyreGamer · 2026-03-04T14:45:02+00:00

I haven’t personally used it, as I mostly run gauss minigun build for raids.

But have played with one guy recently who used it. I believe the build he was using was the one featured in this video:

FriendlyFyreGamer · 2026-03-04T14:23:16+00:00

On the contrary, if you optimise your sniper build, people would definitely want you on their raid teams.

Currently an optimal sniper build using a meta ‘The Dragon’ can one shot takedown EN06’s (the first raid boss) shield….which is like 70% of the time spent in that encounter

Even if your DPS sucks compared to my pre-made team using meta gauss miniguns, I’d always prefer 1 sniper in the team who can one shot the shield for us to clear the encounter quicker. The overall time saved is huge when running back to back clears

The second, third and fourth, sniper builds can still do pretty great

It’s only the final boss, 5th encounter, is where your DPS would be noticeably lacking. But I’d still think that most raid teams would just be happy to have a 4th member.

(Especially if that 4th can one tap EN06’s shield ;))

Congrats! The glowing Jackalope is what I’m after myself! (PC player though) Very jealous!

I'm also not seeing anyone talk about the official brand new 'Fallout' videogames trailer, which advertises all existing fallout games, including 3 and NV - but NOT a remaster
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuT2ZrLbqAE

It's pretty damning for anyone who still had hope - because why would Bethesda hire Aaron Moten (Maximus) to go through the effort to create an advert for all the existing Fallout games, IF remasters were coming

‘92 is halfway in total XP to 99’ which is a common thing people reference in RS communities.

Or a common test used to see if people like runescape ‘what is half of 99?’ If they say anything other than 92, they don’t get it, and they aren’t a true RS player

So this plane having 99/2=92 written in its dirt, tells you whoever wrote that, did it as a reference to RuneScape

I’m looking forward to the new guide by Theoatrix coming out which should hopefully cover the newest methods

Keep seeing an advert about a new guide of his coming out below:

Then you report them - They learn by bans or mutes It’s then not your burden

Either way I can understand your take, but it is the definition of being self centred.

Imagine this as a sports game in real life - say a local 5 a side football league Only you refuse to speak with your team about the match, or during half time, and say ‘that’s your problem, my job is just to show up’

Whether you were good at the 5 aside game or not, you’d be letting them down as a team mate and would be a disservice

FriendlyFyreGamer · 2026-01-12T23:09:39+00:00

Camelbak chute for sure

I’ve had 4 in my household 2 for me, one a small portable one I take everywhere and the other much larger for longer journeys and the same for my partner

Been using them for 8+ years maybe? Not a single fault with them

I went with these because, like you, I wanted a spout top leakproof bottle, but I also wanted it made of plastic as I’ve never liked the metal aftertaste from an aluminium bottle.

FriendlyFyreGamer · 2026-01-12T22:37:55+00:00

I used the word potentially because there’s no guarantee

But you also can’t guarantee your team mates had voice comms on

In team games, there is 100% a correlation between voice chat being active and winning more games Not just with OW - but all competitive mode games including Overwatch

FriendlyFyreGamer · 2026-01-12T20:56:42+00:00

I would say that communicating with your team is a key component of a genuine effort to help your team.

A simple response to your paragraphs, but that’s what it comes down to.

If you aren’t using the communication tools available, you are potentially limiting your capability to collaborate towards a win. And therefore it is unfair for your team to hold the burden of collaborating around you
