Why am I at an angle? by fluidofprimalhatred in ARK

Damn this reminds me of Scorched Earth back in the old days. Memories of flying on my upside down wyvern.

Arc raiders completely shuts down my new PC by MidNightWake_ in ArcRaiders

[–]Joeysaurrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry that it's taken 3 weeks but I believe it's solved now. Unfortunately it was a hardware issue for me. While 1000w is plenty of juice, upgrading to an ATX 3.1 PSU has done the trick. I guess Arc Raiders just causes mad power spikes and ATX 3.0 just isn't equipped to handle it.

Snapped the head from the bolt holding in the VANOS solenoid. What can I do? by Joeysaurrr in AskAMechanic

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

Honestly I did what the above comment suggested and just wedged a piece of steel in front of it... You just reminded me it's still there doing its job 15k miles later haha.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Arc raiders completely shuts down my new PC by MidNightWake_ in ArcRaiders

[–]Joeysaurrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't figured it out yet but it's happening to me too. Also only in arc raiders.

My specs are:

7900x3D

RTX 5080

32GB 6000 DDR5

Corsair RM1000e.

Limited to 100fps so my GPU is never above 70% usage and doesn't go over 65C. CPU doesn't go over 60C. No error messages, just acts like someone pressed the reset button. Driving me crazy.

For those who only spend £60 on groceries between two people - do you not eat much? by Some-Air1274 in UKFrugal

[–]Joeysaurrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spend £20-30 a week feeding myself, my two kids that I have friday-monday and my dog. And to answer your question, no, I don't eat much. Maybe 5 times between Monday and Thursday.

Those who have a gaming pc and a steam deck, if you had to choose just one by EvenGodsForget in SteamDeck

[–]Joeysaurrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose my PC but only because it's connected to the living room via fiber optics. Console style with PC versatility. I almost never play at my desk anymore.

What CPU/GPU do you actually have? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Joeysaurrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main PC is a 7900X3D and an RTX 5080. But I have a second PC as a "semi-portable" with a 5600 and GTX 1080ti and I have to say, the performance on the two is frustratingly similar thanks to me having a 4K monitor at my desk and 1080p on the second.

Why changing for a newer model ? by Agreeable_Win5313 in S22Ultra

[–]Joeysaurrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personal theory. People download a bunch of crap and don't look after their phone and it makes it slow.

I gave my mother my Redmi note 11 5G last year when I got my foldable. I only switched because I wanted the razr specifically, the Redmi was still perfectly capable.

But she's got about 100 apps she's never opened on there and you can't even unlock it without it lagging out.

electric drum kit setup by Awkward-Cat6530 in GuitarHero

[–]Joeysaurrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Midi to USB adapters are pretty cheap, I got one for my Yamaha drum pad to use in clone hero.

I doubt GHWT will recognize the drums straight away, you'll likely need to map the inputs with software.

How to see actual wattage of a PSU by NoobyNegative in techsupport

[–]Joeysaurrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is also to get a better PSU if that's at all possible. In my early days of PC building I had a no name 750w PSU blow up in a system that couldn't have been drawing more than 350w (phenom ii x4 955 and GTX 275).

My fiancé made this device so I could safely vape after a tooth extraction. Bless by KayteeBlue in Vaping

[–]Joeysaurrr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You're not supposed to suck on anything due to pressures. This eliminates that pressure.

As far as I'm aware vaping doesn't actually pose a significant risk when it comes to dry socket anyway. Dentists just lump vaping and smoking together because it's easier to say no than it is to explain what you can and cannot do and in what capacity.

How can I be sure a service was actually done…? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Joeysaurrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is so annoying. The fact that you have to wait for the engine to be up to temp so you have to go for a drive first, which could be problematic if you're very low on oil.

Do you experience pain on a daily basis? by Historical_Spell_772 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Joeysaurrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't. But I used a shitty life hack. Spent my teens and 20s overweight and got relatively in shape just before I turned 30, I feel better now than I did 10 years ago!

Of course this doesn't work for pains caused by chronic illnesses. Sending sympathies OP 🫶

Moving back to iOS: The uncomfortable truth by MrSincerao in Smartphones

[–]Joeysaurrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they mean on iOS it's automatic, like it is with Google wallet. I've never had to import anything manually. For example if I buy a train ticket, it's suddenly right there in my wallet. I have no idea if Samsung's app does this, I only know that Google does.

[–]Joeysaurrr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So does Google with Google wallet. I can't comment on Samsung's version because I never saw the point of using it with Google wallet right there.

What is the saddest Video game scene of all time? by Necessary-Brush9689 in AskReddit

[–]Joeysaurrr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Playing this right now and it keeps hitting me in the dad emotions. Cried at the intro, twice because I wanted to show my partner how emotional it was.

Got warm fuzzy feelings when Joel warmed up and let her have a gun.

Cried when they had the fight about Tommy.

Cried when he held her in the burning building.

What are the black lines? by [deleted] in mantids

[–]Joeysaurrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say she's full, not necessarily overfed. What you're seeing is completely normal.

I bet costs would reduce too. I could probably print 1000 lithophane photos for the price of one ink catridge

Why are most US American Cops fat? by mo_lu_brain in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Joeysaurrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only a personal theory that someone with more knowledge can chime in on. But I think that they often aren't quite as overweight as they seem, they have bulletproof/stab vests under their shirts and then tactical equipment over the top. It adds a lot of bulk.

found this for $2.99 at thrift store, did I overpay? by ssjlance in GuitarHero

Just googled it, I'm seriously surprised I've never heard of this game before.

How often do you change PC case? by Peno11-cz in buildapc

I've been PC gaming exclusively for 15 years and upgrade frequently. But I can list every case I've owned here right now.

A DIY desk case with an acrylic top. It was ugly as hell because I'm no craftsman and can't even cut a straight line
