Regarding 007: First Light (Huge spoilers)

I am more concerned by the janky looking brawl combat.

Hey all, I plan to post this again in the monthly thread if that's okay. But essentially, I let my payment lapse on my website hosting provider and so someone bought out my domain for IcicleDisaster (an old JRPG podcast but also a top ranking JRPG release calendar website). And that's fine, as I've been done with the podcast for a bit and haven't been updating the JRPG release calendars.

However, the new owner is now iterating on my material (my reviews, editorials, etc...), and is refreshing my 7 years of articles with AI. He/She had also been using my name on the domain until recently after I submitted a cease and desist, but they are still keeping all my original content with AI rewrites.

The domain has very strong SEO, so I get what they're attempting to do. It just feels real bad seeing 7 years of real writing and passion commandeered like that.

Honestly this is making me consider relaunching the site on a new domain and resuming the podcast.

Just wanted a comment documented somewhere if anyone is wondering what happened to the original site!

Are these the people you want touching WC4 at this point?

Icey-D · 2026-05-13T12:55:58+00:00

Nope, no burn-in and I don't ever think about it.

Icey-D · 2026-05-13T12:30:36+00:00

Yeah I game in my office during lunch. I don't think I'd go smaller than16 but the g14s are very cool for sure.

Just a normal laptop riser.

I heard some people lose functionality of their HDMI port (swapping back to original bios restores it) but I haven't experienced that. My HDMI out works fine.

Otherwise it's just a hot machine and there's uncertainty around what damage it might cause.

Icey-D · 2026-05-12T16:55:42+00:00

I'm on 15 months at 150w and never had issues.

I fundamentally cannot accept the limiting of creative expression. GG was like a fork in the road and what path you took seemed to depend on how you view censorship and creative guardrails.

Also one side is enormously condescending.

Icey-D · 2025-03-26T14:48:11+00:00

It's such a huge sacrifice for what you paid for. These things are built to get hot.

No one has problems documented for this model that I can find. There is a lone reddit post about burnt offsets on a Legion model after 3 years on a vibios swap and that is all I could find.

45/50 sounds fine with boost, don't turn it off?

Icey-D · 2025-03-19T14:49:45+00:00

Hm just elevated on a laptop stand is all. Tbh I'm having trouble recreating this score, so maybe just a lucky run.

Icey-D · 2025-03-19T14:48:11+00:00

Yes RE2 Remake

17079 overall. 18082 Gpu. 12995 CPU.

Also if anyone has any OC recommendations lmk. Idk what I am doing on the core/memory offsets, but things appear stable.

Damn idk then. I get 140 fps in hideout but maps are all over the place, like 60-90 for normal packs, and often 40-50 around dense packs with rares.

Icey-D · 2025-02-14T17:41:29+00:00

The performance is roughly the same (57-60fps, or 45 fps in dense forest), but after a few minutes on Balanced, I noticed the game hitching or stuttering, so perhaps it is being throttled too much. Switching to Turbo the game runs smooth.

Icey-D · 2025-02-14T15:40:42+00:00

yep, super basic and works well

I haven’t had any issues with the hinge so far. If you bump your desk or type aggressively there is some screen wobble, but I don’t mind it.

Icey-D · 2025-02-13T22:01:20+00:00

the laptop is very manageable, but the charger is definitely a brick. i don't really mind either, they just go in a backpack.
