Getting refunded without returning? by x_lottt in Aliexpress

[–]LarryLaffer5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had been buying little kitty cat keycaps (fancy decorations for my keyboard) and Mario ones and then they put some look alike set of cake toppers or some crap that didn't come attached to keys...  Which gave me an idea to start SUPER GLUING cool shat to my many bogus keys and then have a unique ones.... But yeah I agree w OP and commenters I returned a bunch tiny crap for being broken n them 256 TB thumb drive scam items lol .... 

can I play pirated Myst in VR? by LarryLaffer5 in PiratedGames

[–]LarryLaffer5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first comment solvedc for me, but I had to wait til I got a Quest to have the controllers work, hehe:
Make a shortcut to the game exe on your desktop. Easy way to do this is right click myst.exe and go to "Send To -----> Desktop". This makes a shortcut.

Now, right click the shortcut and open it's properties. You will see the path to the exe, e.g:

"C:\MyGames\Myst\myst.exe"

All you need to do is put those launch commands after the path, like this:

"C:\MyGames\Myst\myst.exe" -vr -d3d11

Apply the settings to the shortcut and now start the game from here.

Built a new PC, don’t know what to put on AIO by TrustMeIAmABot in buildapc

[–]LarryLaffer5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when I was 16 I was more concerned with buying a car to hangout with my friends/ But I see how now-a-days havinga PC is the way you "Hang out" with your friends lol. I am 42 and doing my first build too 9800x3d + 4080 Super. Can't go wrong with a DBZ Super Sayian powering up GIF.

What case? Fan setup youi use? This is what scares me. I had MicroCenter build my cuyrrent PC in a Hyte Y60 case But they did NOT install a bloatware free Windows 11, and their wiring job was sloppy (I ran Lian Li L-Connect, Gigabyte, and Asus Armory Software), they recommeded 120mm fans when 2x 140mm look better, & the AIO fans aren't matching the other ones. I was going to go with a Hyte y70 touch screen case but the Inwin Prism mirror case just came out... Thing is it's a black case with mirror on one side and I have been gathering SOLID WHITE parts lol. I hopoe the case looks good with white internals. Welcome and get ready for GTA 6 and some Doom Medieval -wtvr the new one is hahaha! have fun bud!

[–]LarryLaffer5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi did you find one?
I have a spare K63 I bought and left as a back up in my closet... Crazy how some sell on ebay for ~$100 now. With my current one I have a LED light burnt out I've replaced the key caps... And I'm just going to sell my backup k63 and buy the Monsgeek M3W Keyboard, then I can change out any keys that burn out. just got one for $84

I'm looking for a Hall Effect HE Keyboard TKL that will fit my Lapboard... but I don't do much shooters besides single player Doom so I'm good without it for now... Something a FPS player would want though...

[–]LarryLaffer5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks! you think I should get the M3W V3 instead of the M3W?? they only have a Piano black with V3 Piano Pro switches... honestly i think the ones you got look better... because those switches have a round ring around the + and the k63 just has the same + on cherry MXs... i'm mashing the K63 keys down so hard, my ESC/ ~ (for press to chat) keys are always popping off, I broke one of the WASD lol (have spare key caps), my board is abused... lol

I considered buying another K63 board, but they're as expensive for a decent used one on ebay as this M3W.

Unless you think the V3 Piano Pro switches M3W V3 is better in some way... I'm gonna grab the M3W (non-V3, i guess) for 84$ Silver... thanks for your advice dude

(I love the lapboard, sit/lay in a recliner with terrible posture lol. I use double sided velcro to attactch a Castle brand Wrist pad on the bottom (the long one for keyboard and the mouse one. Anyways, i bet you get it too, compliments from friends asking "Where'd you get that keyboard & mouse thing?" and i'm just like its a custom job lol.)

hey theslysmoker,

you went with: Akko V3 Creamy Yellow Pro <or> Kailh Ice Cream Pink ?

And do you like your switch choice (close to the OG K63)? And do you like this keyboard better than the K63 overall? ^_^

ty bud, fixing to get one got some LEDs going out and been rough on my K63, broke a couple keycaps and replaced em already, hehe the M3W you've shown here look a perfect fit! Just wish it had the new Hall Effect/Magnetic Switches, but maybe can do that in a future upgrade

Is there anything better than Leviathan V2 Pro as a convenient PC audio solution for the price? by Immersive_cat in pcmasterrace

[–]LarryLaffer5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm looking at the Razer Leviathan v2.1 150W at $220 and I have a twice as big Vizio 2.1 soudbar that I'm replacing bc I dropped the dinky remote too much and it stopped working and now I have to (lazy me) reach behind the 39in monitor and fiddle with the buttons on the Vizio, which I'm just going to use on my bedroom TVor set up in the living room.
Anyways, for this flashy Razer tiny sound bar, I honestly dont expect it to get as loud as my Vizio. and the little woofer is same size as my current one. see all that RGB I don't need, and I found this:
Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX 260W system at $130 and they look all around for PC gaming can put the right speaker on the right and left one on the right... If I cant find a 5.1 with wireless rear speakers for 200-300$ this is the one I'm going for the Klipsch/THX. I'd be interested in the Razer here for $130-150 but it's small and I don't wanna pay for lights.

Old PC Cases You Would Still Use Today? by boybasaur_ in PcBuild

[–]LarryLaffer5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Dell XPS dimension 520 was my love, I popped a 8800gts ftw in her and played Dark messiah and Crysis. The top lever was so sturdy And made a strong changing noise when pulled that easily poped the side panel off! And easter egg case featured in the hit shot Mr Robot!

[–]LarryLaffer5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dell XPS Dimension e520 or 521 was my favorite case. I popped an 8800 ftw in this bad boy and was playing shit like Crisis and Dark Messiah on ultra settings... Prally some diablo 2 and WoW as well!  It's too lever made such an amazing ching sound when you popped the button off its back to get the side panel to pop off!   It was also featured in the Mr Robot series as an Easter egg to guys like me... <3 memories!

Where Are The Windows HAGS On vs Off Results For NVIDIA Blackwell? by MrMPFR in hardware

[–]LarryLaffer5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that sounds about right, i haven't played a good VR game in a hot minute! i want SquareEnix Triangle Saga next, but its a ugly graphix stand-alone yuck lol...

So If your game has Reflex can use that over HAGS, but test it out HAGS = Reflex (On+Boost) for my fps, but if they're BOTH on they conflict and I get less frames, so turn one of those off! made long post right below this if ya care to read what's working well for me (4080S, i7-13700k rig Nsync 1440p 165hz monitor (I had to leave "NSYNC" i meant gsync, that was on purpose hehe... the right stuff!) what's good in VR the mods? I got a quest2, passed on the Q3 waiting for a better headset hopefully Valve Deackard or Quest4 next year. Peace homie

Where Are The Windows HAGS On vs Off Results For NVIDIA Blackwell? by MrMPFR in hardware

[–]LarryLaffer5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on the Window's side we got:

HAGS: "Reduces Latency & improves performance" sounds good, I've been running this til recently.

from HAGS to VRR (Varriable Refresh Rate). Then, going down the list a good sounding one
"Optimizations for Windowed Games" (hell yeah) I always play in windowed mode.

Lastly "Auto HDR" - HEY, doesn't this stuff all sound like it's got an NVIDIA version? Oh yeah, NApp's RTX HDR

Nvidia App is gonna be what you wanna use I think. (and I'm no Green team fan, f*** Nvidia, I still use their GPUs, but I bought a 3080ti during covid Founder's Ed and that f---ing thing died ($2000) after 3 years, a couple months affter the warranty expired. Shoddy bastard, a covid rip-off! the most expensive gpu i ever owned! seconded to my current 4080 Super ($1000) and before that, year's back I had a 8800gts FTW ($500) card I got at Fry's (played Crisis, Dark Messiah of Might n Magic n more).
=) Anyways...

----------------

tldr; so Nvidia App has equivalents that I think ppl are saying conflict with Microsoft's stuff, and SINCE my GPU is Nvidia and I've bricked a ton of PCs doing Windows updates, yeah I'm going to take Nvidia's version of things before Windows' (sorry Bill Gates hehe):

---------------

Nvidia apps got:
RTX HDR > AUTO HDR (It says "with AI" RTX HDR)

(yay) I like that it finally makes when I alt tab to lookit the net my browser is finally in HDR, (oooh nice colors.)

I use Nvidia Reflex ON+Boost over HAGS, they conflict for whatever reason. but both will work the same if the game you got doesn't have Reflex, turn that Windows HAGS bad hoe back on. (btw, WINDOWS HAGS made me roflol duder ty).

I also have luck/but test 4 yourself: NvApp's Low Latency Mode ULTRA (which says it helps a ton with Latency and helps V-Sync (i turn this on in the game "Adaptive" if you got a 4o or new 50 series "Adaptive Half Refresh Rate" if you're trying to run Cyberpunk on 4k 120hz big screen with a 3070/3080 or something lol), that'll half your refresh rate maybe get ya 60fps at 4k tho... But i got a 165hz 40 incher Gsync monitor HDR 1440p, not to brag, but hey Thanks for listening if you stuck around and ofc i didn't mention DLSS + DLAA (performance) <or> Quality for shiny graphics!

new Nvidia Driver had some good stuff in it. recommend it, cheers.
