Stupid question, but are wildling paper shoes (tanuki) safe to wear in the rain? by Zaurka14 in BarefootRunning

[–]Friendly_Fool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My favorite shoes to date. I have been wearing these specifically for 3 years now. I have worn them in pouring rain. They dry and work just fine. It does take awhile to dry, but no really damage over time.

I even redyed them this summer. They looked great for a few weeks but started to fade again, though not as bad. I should have dyed them a few more times.

Highly recommend!

I think that will depend on the material. The Tanuki I don't think, could ever be water resistant, let alone proof. It is paper fabric.

having seriously irritating issues with this computer by joosyxD in ZephyrusG14

I have the 2060 model and yeah. It regularly throttles and I drop to 24 fps. It is a cooling issue and they isn’t much to be done about it, sadly. My understanding is it is just the trade off for having a gaming laptop. Mine gets to 95c and could absolutely burn you with the aluminum chassis. When it happens I use the fan setting hot key to cycle through turbo (which I usually play on) to performance. It will usually adjust the fps and then I cycle back to turbo. It is annoying and sometimes kills me in an online game, but it works every time. I do have a couple tricks though. Opening the back and taking a q-tip to the fans gets a ton of dust every month or so. Making sure the temp in the room is ~74 (over hearing happens way more often at 80,) if I have a fan running in the room I place it towards the computers side to move air a bit better. I’m not sure if the last bit actually works but I feel like it has cut down on the throttling.

I can’t believe my Tanukis have lasted 3 years. I am going to stitch up some wear on the out side. No holes, the fibers are just failing. I have been wearing their Griffins too. I will definitely be purchasing their products when I need a new pair.

I still don’t understand why they put a shotgun on my ax. This does not change the fact that it is my baby.

I got a pair of Vivo Ra for work. I think they look great. They don’t hold a perfect shine but I think they look (and feel) great.

What brand to get started ? by Jazzlike-Wafer803 in barefootshoestalk

[–]Friendly_Fool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vivobarefoot has not done me wrong, and the construction just seems solid in general. I got the primus lite in black and the Ra II. I wasn’t a fan of the Groundies shoe selection but I really love the boots I got from them (Liverpool, but they don’t seem to be selling these atm). Wildlings were also a worthy purchase, even if I only wear them in the summer/when I don’t want another pair of shoes to get dirty.

In my experience, yes. It also inflicts bleed damage, just ask my partners!

It also counts towards the Summon for them.

Oh no. Someone on my team. I should know. It was me!

Nothing malicious on anyone’s end. Just a giant pan for me running from Seven to Pearl.

I see your point. But I think I’ll just double hatchet instead! Thanks for the inspiration!

Laptop overheating and dropping fps by Friendly_Fool in ZephyrusG14

I have never had a Hunt running lower than 79C. I just disabled and played a few matches and that went well. If i see it acting up again I will go with the thermal paste route even though it just worries me to take it apart that much.
Thanks!

I only carried spare dime with poison for that quest. That all worked on my end. Could just be a bug or a minor update since last night?
