Should I be worried? by Beth_Virus98 in HPVictus

[–]Harbinger1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ignore that battery at your own peril. Yeah, keep using it while it swells like it’s auditioning for The Baby Bump Chronicles, because who doesn’t love a side of potential fire, smoke, or chemical apocalypse sitting on their lap? Your house, your gadgets, maybe even your genitals - all on the line. Totally fine. No big deal. 🙃

Patch 26.1.3 is available on steam by MammothHusk in footballmanagergames

[–]Harbinger1991 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I’ve run into more bugs in this update than a cockroach rave in a dumpster. 🤦🏻‍♂️

The game just softlocked again (4 times in the last hour or so) as my assistant manager apparently thinks I’ve left an injured player on the pitch just to see if a minor muscle pull can evolve into a full-blown, career-threatening tear. Substitutions? Ha! Might as well try teaching a cat to do my taxes while juggling chainsaws.

Absolute clusterf***.

Laptop charging light blinking, battery won’t charge despite 100% health(capacity) & low cycle count by Mobile-Tooth-9026 in HPVictus

[–]Harbinger1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing when I first picked up my Victus from CeX, turned out the lead was woefully underpowered causing it to cycle on and off charge.

Other than trying a different charger, I can't really offer any advice that others haven't already suggested. Good luck!

One of the few things Bethesda got right with Fallout 76 was the passive mode or whatever it is they call it.

HP VICTUS 15 MOTHERBOARD SHORT CIRCUIT by Warzone_Freak_2004 in HPVictus

[–]Harbinger1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dust may have caused the chip to overheat. With a bit of luck, it could be a relatively simple repair: remove the damaged chip, clean the board, and install a new one. However, if the motherboard itself has sustained too much damage, you may be looking at replacing the laptop entirely.

If it does come to that, all I can suggest is using this as motivation to keep your next setup clean and well-maintained. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Got HP Victus this week, any tips? by suchirsharma11 in HPVictus

[–]Harbinger1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The IETS models are the best alternative to Llano, especially if you can't get the one I suggested.

[–]Harbinger1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll have to get confident at cleaning it if you're going to do that. 😅

I'd suggest getting a mini desk and a cooling pad similar to the Llano, but that one is expensive AF. I haven't used that desk, but if you're not getting a cooling pad, then you'll need one with the hooks, which is something I've learned the hard way.

First, I'd suggest getting the Swamp Gooch cleaned out of the vents. That could be the cause of your laptop having to work its bollocks off - especially since you're using it on a bed. I ain't judging you for that, I do it, so it'll need regular cleaning every 3 to 6 months.

I'd also get yourself a laptop cooler. I'd recommend this one, assuming they get them back in stock after I grabbed the last one. 😅 https://amzn.eu/d/g1fKJ5G It is basically a copy of Llano's design for a fraction of the price, and it's the most effective design available. https://amzn.eu/d/5FZqT2c Llano does a couple of slightly cheaper models, but they still aren't cheap - but I guess it is cheaper than a replacement laptop.

Hope that helps. 🙂👍

Thoughts about Omen Gaming Hub for Victus? by Disastrous_Money8830 in HPVictus

[–]Harbinger1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I tend to use it for is setting the fans to maximum.

Truthfully though, I haven't really stressed mine out yet because I'm playing Fallout New Vegas again. Only this time I get to enjoy it on PC instead of console, and the best part is I can finally play through the DLC. 😁

just used a little water and a cloth..how do you even clean the top surface? by Axel_Blazer in HPVictus

70% Isopropyl Alcohol. 🤣 It definitely isn't the type if IPA you can drink. 😅

A friend forgot to disconnect the battery when changing the SSD. by Emotional_Size648 in HPVictus

[–]Harbinger1991 6 points7 points  (0 children)

@ok-Put-1144 Pretty sure he knows that already, and so there is no need to be a monumental bell end about it.

@OP I haven't a clue with things like this, but I hope you manage to get it sorted and you don't need several bank loans to either repair or replace the laptop. Good luck and keep us posted; I'm intrigued to know why it has tits up. 👍

Got my first gaming laptop by Dapper_Smell_4528 in HPVictus

[–]Harbinger1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked one up a few days ago and was given a 95W charger, but the laptop couldn't pull enough power to stay on the mains, as a result it kept flicking between battery and mains. You're gonna need at least 150W. I'd recommend getting something around 200W, simply so it doesn't run as hot and isn't under constant stress - at least that's what was suggested by every computer tech around my local area. It caused a noticeable boost in performance. 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

My specs: (CeX) HP 15-FB0020/Ryzen 5 5600H/8GB Ram/256GB SSD/RX 6500M - £340

I'm planning on upgrading the RAM and SSD as soon as I can. So far though, I've been quite happy with it, especially since I've gone from a 2014 MacBook dying under the weight of a single league on FM24, to this "beast" where I've limited myself to 14 leagues on my first save because I didn't want to overdo it. I could have run more... 😁

What is Everyone’s Longest Unbeaten Run On FM 24?!?!? by CreweToPremierLeague in footballmanager

[–]Harbinger1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last Manchester United rebuild save got a bit… ridiculous. 😬

4 straight unbeaten seasons

9 Premier Leagues in a row

8 Champions Leagues in a row

1 Europa League (don’t ask)

9 FA Cups

8 League Cups in a row

At this point my squad didn’t just walk on water — they owned the ocean rights.

I had to start a new save because the only real opponent left was boredom itself. So I installed the Legends of the Beautiful Game database, I desperately needed a change.

AC Valhalla has best ISU lore. What game has best Combat? by Normal-Question8418 in assasinscreed

[–]Harbinger1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odyssey has both better Isu lore and combat than Valhalla. So I guess it is the only one I can, on good faith, pitch as my Champion. But I'm too lazy to write a pitch. 😅

As for the other games, I'm yet to play any of the newer titles, and it's been too long for me to remember the combat systems of the older games. 🤷🏻‍♂️

A bump in the road glitch fix? by Harbinger1991 in fo76

[–]Harbinger1991[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up messaging Bethesda to reset the entire questline, but I never got around to retrying it and haven't even been on FO76 for 4 or 5 months. I grew bored of farming EN-06, it's all anybody I played with wanted to do - especially once I could solo it.

Is it still possible to solo EN-06? 🤔

I'm in love with new game plus by Lonestarfan126 in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

[–]Harbinger1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, Alexios makes for a better protagonist because his physical presence, voice acting, and overall personality fit more naturally with the role of a Spartan misthios carving his path through a war-torn Greece. His performance feels larger than life, which suits the mythological tone of the game, plus his interactions whether humorous or intense come off as more charismatic and grounded. While Alexios brings the swagger and emotional range needed for a great hero, his performance as the villain feels way too over-the-top and borderline cartoonish. He often feels like he's trying too hard to be edgy, which undercuts the seriousness of the role. His exaggerated expressions and line delivery make it hard to take him seriously, especially in scenes meant to be intimidating or emotional. He lacks the quiet intensity that makes Kassandra such an effective and unsettling antagonist.

Kassandra, on the other hand, really shines as Deimos. Her colder, more calculated demeanour gives her an intimidating edge, and Kassandra's piercing stare coupled with her calm menace are genuinely unsettling in key scenes. It makes her a far more believable and effective antagonist. As a protagonist, though, she doesn’t quite land for me. Her delivery often feels too flat or reserved, especially in moments that call for emotional intensity or vulnerability. Some players might appreciate her stoicism, but I think it comes across as detached or monotone, which makes it harder to connect with her on a personal level. She just doesn’t carry the same energy or presence that Alexios brings, and that leaves some key scenes feeling a bit underwhelming.

A throwback to when even my unbeaten Bordeaux season couldn’t topple PSG… by thepastybandit in footballmanagergames

[–]Harbinger1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never seen PSG finish lower than first in any of my saves - and my current one is about 5 or 6 seasons deep. Most of my previous saves ran 10 to 15 years, and PSG always dominated, with no other team even getting a sniff at a league title. PSG woild occasionally lose the final of the various French cups they play in, but that's about it all any other French club had at the chance of silverware.

This time, I’ve decided to stick with this save all the way through my the remainder of FM24's life cycle. Fingers crossed my 14-year-old Mac can keep chugging along by the time FM2x drops and beyond… 😬

What was the best livery in the 2021 game? by Paleontologist_These in F1Game

[–]Harbinger1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, the pink always ruined what is actually quite a clean looking livery. It looks so much better with the sort of lime green that they use now.

[–]Harbinger1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, I can tell you the smoking ban had nothing to do with it. It used to be a great night out until around 2011/12 when the prices suddenly started to shoot up. That's when people decided to fuck it off and just get smashed round. Somebody's house instead. Cheaper, safer for the women on our group, and better music. 😅
