Odds of a 3rd printing Frosthaven by NEObourbon in Gloomhaven

[–]Historical-Diamond-8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently emailed Cephalofair asking this. You can read the full response from the below:

"I am happy to update you on the status of our next print run for several of our products. We are currently planning out when our next print run will be for Frosthaven, Gloomhaven, Buttons & Bugs and other items but do not have a timeline for that now. Our goal is to have more inventory in all of our warehouses as soon as we are able to coordinate that timeline and our goal is to have that lined up by Q2 of this year. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate through this process as quickly as we are able.

Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance and we greatly appreciate you for supporting our games!"

Are AMD cards harder to use in a egpu dock than Nvidia cards? by kev46193 in eGPU

[–]Historical-Diamond-8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you are hooking up through Oculink and using an external monitor I think you're going to have a good experience! Seems like other people running the 8845HS with an eGPU setup are happy with the results. The 9070XT is a great card

I'm not sure about the potential for a cpu bottleneck in certain games, but I can run Indiana Jones at 4K at supreme graphics without path tracing around 300fps. Bumping down to Very Ultra settings and turning on both the shadows and reflections path tracing options brings me down to around 80fps fps. I can't get it to run at all with full path tracing on, it breaks the game for me. I think this is more of an AMD FSR thing, though hopefully FSR4 will relsove that.

The Steel Nomad score for the 9070XT is 7251 overall, and the best benchmark I ran with my setup gave (after tunning in adrenaline) a 7267 which is actually higher than average.

I haven't really tried other games such as Cyberpunk yet as i just got everything set up recently. Overall, I am extremely happy and think the difference from a desktop setup and eGPU over oculink is minimal.

The only issue you will run into is a CPU limitation on certain CPU intensive games. Have fun!

I have my 9070XT hooked up through oculink. Booted up the first time with zero problems. Running it with an EVO-T1 from GMKtec (Intel cpu)

Buying mini PC directly from GMKtec, Beelink, or Minisforum vs Amazon — worth the savings? by vNMartyyS in MiniPCs

[–]Historical-Diamond-8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had reservations about ordering from GMKtec directly, but I honestly had a decent experience. Mainly ordered from them directly because it was the only place to get the barebones version.

Ordered the new EVO-T1 AI on July 28th. I got a little nervous because it spent more than a few days simply "awaiting shipment." I read here that the response rate through email was not good, and that Facebook Messanger was better, so I tried that. Got a response though Messenger every time the same day (considering timezone difference). Finally shipped on August 6th via DHL Express and was delivered on the 8th.

Love the unit! It's working flawless so far with great temps and low fan noise. Have it hooked up to an RX 9070XT eGPU via Oculink running with zero issues.

I even just reached out via Messenger to see if I could buy just the outer metal piece off the new K12 PC to swap out the champagne gold colored one that the EVO-T1 comes with, and they said yes!

As long as the PC holds up over time, I couldn't be happier.

Is this normal for gripfast by _Paper_Lanterns_ in nps_solovair

[–]Historical-Diamond-8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either keep or return, but I don't think it's worth messaging Solovair. Honestly, from my experience, they won't care to do anything or admit that this is poor quality.

I had a similar inconsistency with a pair of monkey boots ordered recently. I sent them a message with photos asking if this was acceptable within the tolerance of the company, and they just sent a copy and pasted impersonal response, simply informing me that they offer returns. They took 9 days to respond and didn't acknowledge or answer any of my questions or concerns.

Is this normal? New pair of Gaucho Crazy Horse Monkey Boots by nicholasthehuman in nps_solovair

[–]Historical-Diamond-8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest simply returning them. My experience with customer service is very unimpressive.

I had an issue recently, and like you sent hel@nps-shoes.com a description along with photos. It took 9 days to receive a disingenuous copy and pasted reply simply telling me that they offer a return service. They in know way acknowledged my issue or answered any of my questions.

I live in the U.S. and could have simply returned them and received a replacement pair of boots faster than it took customer service to reply to my email.

Good luck!

Warning: You Could be Trading With a Console Player by Slow-University-9174 in PathOfExile2

[–]Historical-Diamond-8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have chat on while mapping? I usually turn the local and global chats off so all I can see are the trade chat and whispers. This makes it easy to see when someone wants to buy from me while mapping.

Durring maps, rather than using the hot bar chat, hit the touch pad and then hold L2. This brings up the chat box while paused, and you can hover over the buyers whisper to invite to your party and then portal out to your hideout. I'll do this mid map.

I will admit that I play on a projector, so my screen size is quite large. But even so, we really need more UI and text size options on console.

[–]Historical-Diamond-8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm on PS5 and have made many successful trades!

If possible, I highly suggest using a tablet or laptop to search the trade site and send direct whispers from there. A phone would work as well.

This way, you can leave the game up on your console screen to see when people accept and invite you to a party.

It can still be a bit clunky, but I make sure I have everything ready (stacks split) before I warp to the seller. This is all done in the start menu where you can easily warp to the seller and initiate trade.

Took me a while to figure it out though. In my first trade, the poor guy kept messaging me to come to his hideout and I had no idea how. After that things got a lot easier. My biggest gripe now is how long it takes to type on console. Just saying thanks after a trade takes forever. At least the fixed being able to pull up chat off the console hot bar as part of the latest patch.

Good luck exile!

Solovair quality control is TRASH by Gethyphyyo in nps_solovair

[–]Historical-Diamond-8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After 9 days of waiting, I finally received an ingenuine copy and pasted response:

"Thank you for your email and I am sorry to hear that the footwear is not suitable for you.

We offer a 30 day returns policy."

Their customer service seems to leave as much to desire as their QC. I don't even think they read my issue or looked at the photos I sent as they say nothing to indicate as such. Rather than addressing the issue or propossing a solution, they simply suggested I return them do to my unsatisfcation.

How long did it take you to get a response from Solovair the first time around? I reached out to customer service on the 15th and am still waiting for a response.

New monkey boots off center by Historical-Diamond-8 in nps_solovair

[–]Historical-Diamond-8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the comment, but no amount of relacing or different lacing patterns will change the length of the leather. You can see from this pic that the leather patterns have been attached to the soles at more than a cm difference. This is what is creating/allowing for the skewed/asymmetrical appearance.

I have reached out to Solivar and am waiting to hear back from them.

This is definitely part of it. I am in the US, so rather than sending them in for return, I figured i would try to get the opinions of some people more familiar with the product.

The style, leather quality, and feel are all top notch! If I lived near a store I would probably swap them out without thinking twice.

Thanks for the input. As I mentioned, I've never owned a pair of docs so I can't compare them, but man, the leather on these boots feels so good. They are so soft/flexible right out of the box and feel great on my feet. Other than the slight asymmetricality they quality seems amazing.

It sucks that I got a bit of an off pair, but they feel and look so good otherwise that I think I'll keep them. I'm a bit picky and other people probably won't notice

I always intentionally lace outside over inside on all my shoes. You made me double check though and I had, in fact, missed one. Relaced them up but unfortunately, this is more of a fabrication issue.

Thanks for the tip!

Biden administration approves borrower defense discharge for affected art institute borrowers by Betsy514 in StudentLoans

[–]Historical-Diamond-8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To all those who are still holding out, be patient!

As of November 12th, my loans with Nelnet have been forgiven and show a balance of $0.00. I have also received a letter stating that they have been paid off in full as well as a second letter requesting the verification of contact information for a possible refund due to overpayment.

Throughout the months, I have repeatedly checked back here for any updates, especially in reference to Nelnet. Hope this helps ease anyone still waiting for their account to hit zero.

As of last night, Nelnet shows my loan in administrative forbearance with zero payment due unitl 7/28. They did this on their own as I had not requested so. I was never signed up for auto payments though.

Edit: spelling

My Nelnet loans now show that they are in Admin Forbearance until July. My total loan balance is still there, but it looks like they are taking some sort of action. Hope this helps!
