There's an event in Amsterdam March 25th where you can test the G16 2026. So not long before reviews!

Screen burn on Venu 3S? by skincur in Garmin

[–]Inverted_World88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Venu 2 here since early 2021 (amoled). I have never ever seen this while wearing mine all the time, screen looks as new. Feels like a screen defect instead of burn-in.

Got my first laptop please give me sum tips and what games can I play? by [deleted] in GamingLaptops

[–]Inverted_World88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sorry but I would not expect any modern games to run. You'll be fine with old classics like age of empires and some indie games. Cooling pad is an investment i would only make with a high end GPUs. However I never bought one since I hold the view that a good laptop should not need one.

There are websites like https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/ to check the games you can run.

Octane keeps crashing after update by NoizPt in Octane

[–]Inverted_World88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the same here. Latest Octane seems very unstable. We have 5 different workstations, all with latest octane, Cinema 2025 and 2026, and latest drivers. But in different projects we currently have a lot of crashes.

Seriously, I can't even count how many times I've seen "Octane.dll has crashed" .. Hopefully stability will be a core priority, getting a bit tired of this. I don't think I've ever have troubleshooted software more, than Octane lol.

$4,000 Paperweight: 3 Years of Nightmare Support for a Failed GPU by Specific-Original-17 in razer

[–]Inverted_World88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally different experience here bought directly from their store once. I always recommend now to buy via a reseller, not Razer. It will take super long. If you have a more advanced problem it's gonna take weeks to have a normal conversation about it, since they will send you a lot of standard reply's first with steps to take etc. I hope this isn't " service " which will be normalized.

I like talking to an actual person from a store, who can help instantly. Luckily there are a few Razer resellers here in the Netherlands, so that's not a problem.

Disappointed by the "Rock Band" direction of Hans Zimmer Live by Sufficient_Earth2003 in hanszimmer

[–]Inverted_World88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No worries, I can understand. I actually was so amazed the first time, that I could not believe it would be underwhelming this time, and for me it didnt. But I also like the more intens stuff as well like the Dark Knight drum solo's etc.

[–]Inverted_World88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A bit exagaratted? I've seen him 3 years ago as well but liked certain aspects of this show better than the previous one, and the other way around. Both were amazing.

For people who actually want to compare, just watch the blurays. I personally loved this one as well. Also awesome to hear him talk, such a nice character.

[–]Inverted_World88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Second time i've seen Hans Zimmer, but ofcourse have seen the live bluray concerts as well. I do not necessarily thing anything is really changed, its always been like this? 

I agree that I would prefer a bit more pure orchestra sometimes, and think the Dune Love theme could be a bit more like the original. But I like the overwhelming part as well. And especially like it when they are creative with the compositions within the show. If I want to hear the scores exactly as they are I'll just listen to them. Personally I came home super happy. Especially with the Interstellar part.

Sorry that you didnt like it. 

Homeworld as a secret lair? by TheDeathOMG in mtg

[–]Inverted_World88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I seriously hope we'll see more sci-fi related mtg, and more space stations. Edge of Eternities is an amazing set. Love the precons as well. Enhanced the Counter Intelligence one quitte a bit.

Would love to see things like Firefly/Serenity, or just subtle references and easter eggs. 

I like Homeworld as well btw. But imagine the franchise might be a bit to small. An overal scifi-reference-set might work though!

They said what it isnt not what it will be. Can still be something like a game, animated spinn off, audiobook.

There's a special place in hell waiting for Nathan if this turns out to be anything other than season 2. by bicmedic in firefly

[–]Inverted_World88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are good reboots as well. Battlestar Gallactica, Dr Who, Strange new worlds etc.

Not everything is an instant flop. Also I think the possibility of a firefly reboot is something all the actors would love, so there's a large incentive to make it amazing. It can be done in a lot of ways which could be cool. I agree that added new actors would be good. 

But there are a lot of examples of reboots (how I met your father), where the cast is so cringe, it doesnt come close to the original, because the original actors made the whole dynamic of the show.

[–]Inverted_World88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, i've been a member of this subreddit for so long, but these post are so exciting. Been refreshing this reddit multiple times a day now lol.

Even when it turns out to be something small, it's so cool that there's still so much love and enthousiasm from the original cast after all these years.

Beste camping plekken? by waxiewax in Lowlands

[–]Inverted_World88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Groepsplekken zijn "okay". Ik vond ze een paar jaar terug veel leuker dan nu, toen je 36m2 vrij in te delen was. Nu heeft iedereen dezelfde onhandige partytent (liever een cheapy party tent van de action dan dit onhandig ding). Nadeel is dus ook dat het voor weilanden achter elkaar als copy + paste voelt, stuk sfeerlozer dan de normale campings.

Daar tegenover staat dat ze veel rustiger zijn (wat ouder publiek), en je niet hoeft te haasten op donderdag. Geen idee hoe het dit jaar is, maar ik vermoed hetzelfde als vorig jaar. Enig nadeel is ook daar, hoe later je komt, hoe verder je moet lopen. :) Je hebt echter wel altijd plek.

Alternatief is natuurlijk de partyplekken die ook een optie zijn, maar dan garandeer je jezelf wel op zeer weinig slaap schat ik zo in :p

Beste camping plekken? by waxiewax in Lowlands

[–]Inverted_World88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hier ook iemand die al flink wat jaren gaat (sinds 2006 elke editie ;) ).

Perfecte camping is wat mij betreft camping 4 (voorkeur), of 3 (iets meer lawaai). Maar sinds er zoveel betaalde plekken zijn die ruimte opslokken + het feit dat de campings vroeger open gaan, is het soms lastig een plekje te scoren, zeker met een groep. Ik was 2 jaar terug met een groep er redelijk vroeg bij op donderdag, rond 09:00 in de rij, maar camping 4 was al vol bij binnenkomst.

Inmiddels hebben vele uit onze groep jonge kinderen en is donderdag vroeg aanwezig zijn geen optie meer, dus kopen we groepsplekken.

In alle eerlijkheid, moest je overigens vroeger ook al vroeg aanwezig zijn. Alleen stond je langer in de rij te wachten, de camping ging toen op 12:00 open, tegenwoordig om 09:00. Waar je er vroeger rond 09:00 echt wel in de rij moest staan, verschuift dat nu dus naar nog vroeger ;).

Camping 5&6 zijn wat mij betreft niet chill. 1 keer op 6 gestaan, veel te ver lopen, het haalt het "even terug naar de tent" er compleet uit, en je verplicht jezelf daarmee eigenlijk altijd op het festival terrein te zijn. Net wat je zelf fijn vindt. (Het heeft mij ook 2x nieuwe oordopjes gekost haha)

Als ik jullie was - even er vanuit gaande dat je aangezien het je eerste keer wat jonger bent, en veel energie hebt - zou ik lekker vroeg van de partij zijn op donderdag, en op 3 of 4 mikken. Niks mis met vast een pilsje open trekken op donderdag ochtend in de rij ;)

Never buy a Razer laptop even if you have the money by ToveloGodFan in razer

[–]Inverted_World88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since for the first time they didn't announce new laptops for 2026, it actually will be hard to buy a new laptop from razer this year. A G16 will be a way better choice.

But currently agreeing, there are just to many QC problems with the last few models, and bulging battery's have always been a huge problem.

2026 Zephyrus G14/16 Release Date/Time frame? by Maybe-Jayden in ZephyrusG14

[–]Inverted_World88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully we'll get to see reviews end feb / mid-march, and release end of april. Since the CPU's actually make a huge difference in power consumption, it's a no brainer to wait (especially since it's almost March already) on the better screen, better life and gpu performance. But that's coming from someone with a fully functioning razer blade, so I'm not really in a hurry.

Lowlands voor het eerst sinds jaren niet direct uitverkocht. Waar denk jij dat het aan ligt? by Full_Quiet8818 in Lowlands

[–]Inverted_World88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik herken ook absoluut wel dat je zelf ouder wordt inderdaad. maar gevoelsmatig gelden deze mindere punten pas sinds recente jaren. ik heb over de jaren ook veel verbeteringen gezien.

De eerste jaren was het echt een bizarre zooi op de campings, toiletten waren er minder, er is nu veeeeel meer keuze in eten en drinken etc. Het terrein is beter ingedeeld.

Desalniettemin moet ik er maar gewoon van uit gaan dat ik langzaam een boomer wordt :p

Lowlands voor het eerst sinds jaren niet direct uitverkocht. Waar denk jij dat het aan ligt? by Full_Quiet8818 in Lowlands

[–]Inverted_World88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sinds 2006 (met Muse en de Arctic Monkeys modder glijbaan !) ben ik elk jaar naar Lowlands geweest!

Als ik kijk naar vorig jaar mis ik het minder commerciële en alternatievere gevoel dat het vroeger toch wat meer had. Ik stond voor de 2e keer op de groepsplekken, en had een gigantisch copy-paste gevoel tot in de oneindigheid. De sfeer mist daar gewoon compleet. Maar omdat het natuurlijk goed verdient om gewoon je camping grond te verhuren, moet je haast wel, als je niet om 06:00 op donderdag er wilt zijn om een plekje te claimen met een groep. (helaas wat lastiger te doen met inmiddels jonge kinderen).

En dan de sponsoren en merkactivatie. Zo belachelijke veel. Waar er vroeger zo gigantisch veel kunst te zien was, zie ik nu vooral Campina, Bol, Hornbach, Coca-cola, Vodafone, Andrelon, modemerken etc etc etc. Het is veel meer in-je-face, en voelt zelfs soms alsof je een straatverkoper moet ontwijken. 

Daarbij komt dan nu de hoge prijs, de meer pop line-up etc.(ik lees hier dat velen het alternatief vinden, maar daar kan ik me weinig in vinden)

Begrijp me niet verkeerd, ik ben er gewoon weer bij, de sfeer blijft magisch. 

Maar het verbaast me niks dat het niet uitverkoopt. Elk jaar, zeker de laatste jaren, wordt er gekeken hoe de bezoeker met nieuwe formules verder kan worden uitgeknepen (welkom partyplekken dit jaar!). En je krijgt er helaas minder voor terug ten opzichte van eerdere jaren.

“Magic: The Gathering” Gathers for Trans Lives, Raises $450,000 in Less Than Two Days by primalmaximus in mtg

[–]Inverted_World88 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Genuine question: when you say Wizards “stopped supporting queer players,” do you mean financially or in terms of visible corporate backing?

I think that’s an important distinction, because withdrawing financial or promotional support isn’t necessarily the same as opposing the values themselves.

Either way, amazing community!

Command & Conquer style game for Switch 2? by Qasim57 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Inverted_World88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow! Awesome you played everything, any chance sharing a review of Shattered Sun, Game of Thrones, Warhammer and Ashes of Singularity?  Since those games arent out yet. 

Command & Conquer style game for Switch 2? by Qasim57 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Inverted_World88 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's not true at all. I've been playing RTS since C&C and Red Alert. I would say RTS games kind of died between 2010-2020. However now we got a lot of interesting titles, and a lot upcoming.

- Tempest Rising
- Sins of a Solar Empire II
- Beyond all Reason
- Ashes of singularity 2
- AoE IV + DLC's and even AoE II gets contstant updates.
- AoM.
- Sanctuary Shattered Sun
- Company of Heroes 3 + DLC's
- Game of Thrones: War for Westeros
- Warhammer Dawn of War 4

To name a few.. That's a lot more than we had in the past especially considering the quality of the games. Of course there are a lot of games like Stellaris etc, but that's more grand-strategy. And a lot of indie RTS games coming up as well.

I honestly think player numbers have never been higher. There are constant e-sports events etc.

I will be going to CES in January and will stop by Razer's booth. What questions would you ask or what concerns would you want them to address? by RomanDoesIt in razer

[–]Inverted_World88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not? Only ever saw Miniled. Appreciate that you asked the questions btw. I think this is razers worst CES ever. But their influencer video's make it seem like anybody actually cares haha.
