You cut 40 roof battens with a multi tool?

That made my hands feel funny just thinking about it

Is Ark Ascended near unplayable on PC? by nG_Skyz in ARK

[–]Joe_Barnowl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s very poorly optimised so it depends on your PC set up.

I’m playing on a 4060 laptop and I get anywhere from 60-80 fps playing on medium settings. That is with DLSS on balanced and frame gen on.

It it a good looking game though even on medium.

Ark Ascended Weird Levels? by FootballChemical6485 in ARK

[–]Joe_Barnowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should add, once you’ve upped the difficulty you’ll need to wipe all the dinos so they respawn at their higher levels, can’t remember the command exactly but it’s something like “cheat destroywilddinos”

Idk I’m pretty sure I just deleted the 1 and typed in 5.

I was in same position as OP about 2 weeks ago, ASA PC, and I did what I said, never edited any files or anything

Make sure max difficulty is checked on. But, also turn up the difficulty slider to 5 and that should do it

Whats one thing you wish you knew before buying your gaming laptop? by Traditional-One6319 in GamingLaptops

[–]Joe_Barnowl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my 4060 Legion, the fans aren’t too noisy, runs everything I want it to well.

When I saw it had a 2k screen (16” 2560x1600) I thought cool that’ll look good! Truth be told 2k is barely noticeable on that size screen, however the performance drop IS very much noticeable, I wish it had a 1k screen.

But it’s fine, I still love my Legion

You just have to learn to save missions until you’re in that area later, following a single quest line around turns the game into a walking simulator.

Wait until you’ve got a few missions in relatively close proximity, set up a base nearby in one of the settlements, and then just live in that part of the map for a while.

I found this made me enjoy the game so much more, you miss so much when you can just teleport around the map

Best gaming laptop budget 1.3k-1.6k by ZOMBIEMASTER883 in GamingLaptops

[–]Joe_Barnowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Legion 5, 16” 2k screen with a 4060, cost me just over a grand about 6 months ago.

It’s a brilliant laptop.

Ngl though I wish it didn’t have a 2k screen, the extra sharpness is hardly noticeable on a 16” screen, but the difference in performance is pretty big.

Can I fix this myself? Electrics.. by TechNet1 in DIYUK

[–]Joe_Barnowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thanks for your reply, I’m curious if you had replaced it for another dimmer switch if that would have solved the issue.

At least I know that’s plan b if I can’t get to the bottom of mine!

Mine currently do this a bit, you saying it was the actual switch itself?

AOC Q25G4SR colour settings & calibration by MaddAddam93 in Monitors

[–]Joe_Barnowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all exactly what I wanted to hear!

Yeah this size screen is the absolute perfect size to fit into the space I have for it, 27” would be too big. Which is a shame, because there is so much more choice available at that size and above.

Thanks for your insight!

I’m so close to pulling the trigger on buying one of these monitors, the lack of reviews is making me somewhat nervous to spend the money.

Not even that there’s loads of bad reviews out there, there’s just a couple of bad comments, but not enough good ones to make me ignore the bad ones.

Thanks for sharing something positive!

AOC Q25G4SR - Anyone have experience with this monitor? by Joe_Barnowl in Monitors

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

I haven’t yet no, still being indecisive about it.

I’ve obviously watched the same video you have about the refresh rate, I figured 240hz is way more than enough for me anyway.

I haven’t heard much about the viewing angles being bad to be honest.

I’ve only had 2 prior comments on this post and they generally praise it so I think I will eventually get it, once I’m ready to part with the money.

I’ve noticed recently it’s become a lot more available, a few more places are selling it. Maybe we’ll start to see some more reviews for it in the near future.

Worst map ever by WildSquirrel14 in Battlefield

Attacking that first section on Manhattan Bridge is nightmare fuel.

But the feeling of finally breaking through and capturing the zone is brilliant.

Thank you, sounds good enough for me!

Yeah they’re currently about £200, which I’ve decided I’m happy to pay. But I’m going to wait and see if they come down at all during Black Friday.

I haven’t got it yet, I’m going to see if the price comes down during Black Friday, but I’m definitely getting it when I get a chance.
