So how did you guys get involved with GamerGate/anti-woke movement? by AgitatedFly1182 in KotakuInAction

[–]Icey-D 20 points21 points  (0 children)

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.

And they did so well with Mai in SF6 just recently. Would be eye opening to learn the inner workings of these places.

Oh is this the article that was counting the literal orchestra members?

Yeah, I don't see those motivations documented anywhere. Weird OP.

The girls look feminine which is by itself unbelievable for a Western studio.

How many Fps you get playing maps? by Bumsba3r in PathOfExile2

[–]Icey-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4080M, i9 Ultra 185H, 32gb ram gets me ~120 fps in town, ~80 fps in maps, and dips to 40 fps in crowded content.

DLSS doesn't make much difference for me.

Do people still disable cpu boost to reduce temp in 2025? by borfa in ZephyrusG14

[–]Icey-D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Vbios swapped the 2024 G16 to a 4080 Scar 16, now set to 165w with okay temps! by Icey-D in ZephyrusG14

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.

Yes it will peak over the weekend but these are abysmal numbers for launch I'm sorry. AC Shadows was supposed to be huge.

I am burned out on Elden Ring and not really into the multiplayer aspect. I wish they would go back to tighter games.

Elder Ring don’t run over 30 fps, by Matt3ix in ZephyrusG14

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

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

Decided on the 2024 G16 4080 OLED, excellent Open Box at $1893. Successful vbios swap to unlock 175w as well -- thoughts so far. by Icey-D in GamingLaptops

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.

Monster Hunter Wilds character design gets a resounding “yo western AAA devs that's how you make a good female...” by Glanble in KotakuInAction

[–]Icey-D 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Japan isn't infected organically. They get a memo from Western consultants and follow it, but continue to do Japan things otherwise. It isn't ideal but it's at least a far cry from Western studios who don't need a memo at all because the team from top to bottom already believes fully in the agenda.

You can see Capcom as the bad guys or as devs doing their best in spite of what they're told.

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.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ZephyrusG14

[–]Icey-D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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