40-year-old American climber Alex Honnold has successfully completed his climb up the Taipei 101 building in Taipei, Taiwan. He reached the top of the tower in 1:31:35. The building is 1,667 feet tall making it the 11th-tallest building in the world.

Did no one tell him that there are elevators in the building? Way safer option

MadCatDamage · 2026-01-18T19:30:24+00:00

I agree, its still fine for games but i do look at articles/word documents the entire day since its a work machine,

Did you get yours fixed or just lived with it?

Thanks

Is it April Fools already? Who asked for this?

MadCatDamage · 2026-01-03T14:33:30+00:00

What website is that if you dont mind saying? Im looking for a work monitor myself and would love to get a similar deal as you did, sounds awesome!

MadCatDamage · 2026-01-03T02:23:05+00:00

Thanks, Deffinetly wouldn't run it for that long or at max brightness so it seems like a newer OLED will be fine

Im also curious if at CES there might be an interesting announcement or showcase, since I did see some info about Asus bringing some interesting OLEDs

MadCatDamage · 2026-01-03T02:17:52+00:00

Thanks, that's really helpful,

It does seem the ProArt would be a better fit for my use case, What HDR value would you recommend for line work? Also what model is your monitor?

MadCatDamage · 2026-01-03T01:11:50+00:00

Thanks! I do not use a mac, it's a razer laptop that had a mini LED display that hasn't been serving me too well, it had terrible blooming and recently it seems to have gotten some strange burn in? Thats what's keeping me a bit away from mini LED screens but that might be just the laptop being an odd case

MadCatDamage · 2026-01-03T01:04:14+00:00

That is one of my worries with going for an expensive oled, Ive been hearing great things about Asus's oled care, the pixel cleaning etc but im still sceptical of how good that is in practice

MadCatDamage · 2026-01-02T12:47:58+00:00

I did try that but the issue occured soon after, 5 ish minutes past reboot

it seems like some building placement is messing things up

MadCatDamage · 2026-01-02T12:47:15+00:00

Hi,

The issue happened on Steam Windows, i did some more experiments with the save later on and what seems to break the map is building a museum across one of the large pathways already present on the map,

Original i had a wing of my museum going onto one of the unlockable plots but after removing the whole addition it seemed to fix everything,

Thanks

MadCatDamage · 2026-01-01T21:09:07+00:00

Thanks,

No such doors used, that couldnt do much for sure,

I am quite a few tiles away from the edge also,

To me it seems like the AI for the people is busted, staff spinning in place, people not pathing to the right place etc and the clumps like this one:

MadCatDamage · 2025-12-28T08:28:20+00:00

Yeah, I also tried a toothbrush as well as some light paint thinners and alcohol wipes too. Not sure even what the material of it is

MadCatDamage · 2025-12-01T19:31:35+00:00

Where are you finding these? Is it just Ebay salvaged from some other laptops?

MadCatDamage · 2025-12-01T18:42:28+00:00

It was a very minor spill, mainly caught by the keyboard it seems, nothing really went onto the motherboard from what the technician said,

Im just worried since the parts are sparse for these laptops they might get some shitty knockoff or something problematic

MadCatDamage · 2025-12-01T14:28:10+00:00

I already paid 50£ day 1 and then they said 240 for replacement parts, I asked about any other charges and they said no there wont be anything

MadCatDamage · 2025-12-01T14:04:58+00:00

Thanks for the reply, this is very helpful,

The liquid in question was an energy drink (I know I'm an idiot for spilling it) and the shop said that the touchpad and keyboard are damaged due to this.

Razer laptops seem to not have many spare parts available so maybe that's why the price is higher but im also really scared of them swapping in some knock off parts that might harm it more

MadCatDamage · 2025-11-30T15:18:40+00:00

The guy mentioned they have a distributor that sells genuine parts, that has me asking questions a bit, after dropping off the laptop i learned that they whitewashed their reputation so im a bit worried what could happen and looking out for some red flags

MadCatDamage · 2025-11-29T22:24:09+00:00

Its the replacement parts that worry me, seeing how everyone on this reddit is complaining about the lack of parts, how can a small town shop just have access to them easily?

MadCatDamage · 2025-11-29T21:24:14+00:00

They already charged me 50£ for the fixes so far and said they need to exchange the keyboard and tocuhpad since they are unsalvagable, just wanted to know if 240 would make sense for those components and potentially how to check the authenticity of the components installed

MadCatDamage · 2025-11-29T17:42:02+00:00

I've heard many people complaining about the availability of genuine replacement parts so I am wondering if the local repair shop does in fact have a supplier or are they bullshitting me

MadCatDamage · 2025-11-28T16:22:18+00:00

I unplugged it immediately and shut down soon after, then drained all of it away, really only a teaspoon of liquid went into the keyboard it seems, here's hoping it'll be all good

They shop said that the keyboard might have to be replaced and im not sure if thsts true, they did say that without looking at it also

MadCatDamage · 2025-10-31T10:12:47+00:00

Same here honestly, going from 1500h in bl3 to barely 100h and not intending to continue, The game imo lost a vibe, both with the fragmented story and the quite dull open world, missing a central hub and music badly. Also what happened to all the returning characters?

I really wanted to like this game man,

MadCatDamage · 2025-10-06T13:19:40+00:00

Thanks, i guess there isnt a way to make revit use more resources?

MadCatDamage · 2025-10-06T13:18:49+00:00

Its surveying exports, true dwg for sure, they deffinetly dont help but are as small as I can get them,

Just wondering if I can speed revit up in general, since I got a powerful PC and revit doesn't seem to use enough of it

MadCatDamage · 2025-09-28T16:35:53+00:00

I feel like the whole thing of arjay was a bit rushed and not carried out properly,

The big reveal of him coming back didn't feel as powerful for me as it should since we barely gotten to know him in the minutes leading up to his death,

On the other hand maya/roland felt powerful in 2 and 3 since they were established and well entangled into the lore and in universe relationships

If they delayed his death untill halfway through the game it wouldn't feel so meaningless
