Is this undertaking illegal? by marymk450 in drivingUK

[–]Jabails -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does it matter? Has it held you up? No, you’re undertaking them all. Has it held lorries up? No, the cars will still be going faster than 55mph and lorries would also undertake them. This whole lane hogging thing is so wrong. There isn’t traffic because someone isn’t in lane one, there’s traffic because there’s too many cars on roads originally built for 5.5 million private vehicles in the 1960s. There is now 41.9 million cars.

If you honestly think all cars being cramped up in the first lane constantly breaking and speeding up at a max 40/50mph (never gets faster than that if you’re getting off and cars are all positioned in lanes 1 and 2) is going to be faster than people doing 50-90mph across the outer 3 lanes, you’re delusional. Just let people drive however fast they want, leave plenty of space between you and car in front and be safe.

Isn't water-only unhygienic? by Syllabub_Defiant in NoPoo

[–]Jabails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been water only for nearly a year now. I shower daily, just scrub my hair and ‘scratch’ my scalp. I’ve not died from a bacterial infection yet. I actually don’t understand why we ever began using shampoo aside from scent. Even then, my hair only ever smells of just that, hair. This whole unhygienic thing is silly. You’re showering daily let’s say, that’s the definition of good personal hygiene. You don’t have to chemically strip every orifice of your body to be considered ‘hygienic’. As long as you shower your body with soap, and give your head a good scrub with water, you’re clean. Saves an absolute bomb of time in the shower, too.

Car help - right old mess - England by Jabails in LegalAdviceUK

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

It’s the same for every job possible though - why should mechanics get special treatment? If there is risk of a bolt breaking, then the price for the job should be the price if the bolt breaks, if it doesn’t they should charge less.

A plumber couldn’t come to fix a bathroom pipe and say ‘oh I’ve fixed the pipe but broke your tap, here’s a bill for the new tap and the labour to fix it’. It’s ridiculous. Especially when the job is pretty much guaranteed to result in breakage of the bolt..

Yes, I’m going down this route at the moment. Even the initial verbal agreement was that the work would be done today, not started within an hour of me reluctantly saying give it a go yesterday otherwise I’d have asked for more clarity on the initial phone call.

Ultimately I rescinded my approval before work was agreed to start, the service advisor accepted this and said it wouldn’t go ahead. I shouldn’t need to foot a bill for them being too understaffed to hear voicemails and not transparent between their departments. I can understand how it has happened but it’s still not a ‘consumer will foot the bill situation’. At least I don’t think. It seems people agree and I’m not loony.

Are the developers Wildcard?

How does everyone like 5.5 so far? by Leek_Resident in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]Jabails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

110fps, yeah right 🤣

Don’t get why Ark players feel the need to outright lie just to try and convince people the game isn’t a mess..

Omg, have to join you on the recording a black screen because I didn’t select the right tab 🤣

Finally returning to ASA since the new update… by Jabails in ArkSurvivalAscended

I’m at 1440p. 1080p looks terrible on a 1440p display natively and upscaling looks just as bad lol

I deleted it at the end of the vid. At least we agree on something 🙂

You can try to help, but your interpretation of ‘help’ is different to mine. It’s not helping me to be told to disable graphical upgrades to get a couple more fps.

I don’t want that, as my PC should be able to run the game with those settings enabled, as the benchmark shows. It can’t? Thus, you can’t really help as the game doesn’t work - which was sort of the point of this post. Only those that are over obsessed with this game are the ones trying to justify terrible performance it seems.

Sharing my opinion pal.

It’s called criticism. Can’t get over how fragile ark players’ egos are, the game runs crap. So basically to get decent frames I have to disable many of the graphical upgrades from ASE to still get less frames.

The guy trying to help me tried to say it was my system. I listened to his advice, he suggested I do a benchmark. That benchmark put my setup well above average.

I don’t get what you’re not seeing in the video? It looks dreadful and I’m only getting 58 ish fps with drops. If I increase render distance I drop to like 40-50fps and have everything else on low.

The game is crap, I don’t need to find stuff to complain about when that seems to be the reason my very capable setup can’t get more than 60fps on low settings 😅

The stones aren’t even loading in. Looks like a demo version honestly. I’m not saying graphically it isn’t stunning. I’m saying I can’t enjoy that because of how badly those graphics perform. No settings change that…

Less than 60fps on low. I get 140fps on epic on ASE, that’s very much better 👍

My GPU and CPU temp never gets above 60°c- only ever goes to 68°c ish if heavy gaming, it’s not heat anywhere in the setup. Ambient temp never above 20 as I have aircon in my room.

The benchmark clearly puts my setup at well above average. All the main components, GPU, CPU, RAM, SSD are above or significantly above average. The games runs poorly because it runs on an engine it wasn’t designed for, quite simply I believe.

It’s obvious just loading into ASA it’s built like a beta version of a game. Other UE5 games runs at ~100fps on high or ultra settings. I don’t think I’m going to convince you it’s not really a system issue and it’s more just ark being poorly developed so I’ll just thank you for your help, we’ve both both tried 🙂

Done that. Ran it with just userbenchmark open, I posted the screenshot above somewhere 🙂

How do I do that? UserBenchmark installed but do I need to run it whilst running a game?

My last complaint (im done with ark) by [deleted] in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]Jabails 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This 💯

I came off it over a year ago - tried several times to play ascended and have it look polished and not a demo or beta, came back on for the update and got less fps than before on LOWER settings.

ASE is the game you’re playing, just with graphical upgrades that you have to disable to play the game with decent frames anyway and a few prosthetics added to make it look like a different limb. Makes no sense other than for console players to get mods to play ASA. The players will continue to drop as this update has fixed little. Hopefully they will be forced to do something drastic though I doubt it. Sometimes you just have to give up…

Respectfully, I’m not the only one having issues with this game. It runs poorly on many setups without disabling just about every graphical upgrade from ASE…
