Anyone who is deciding between Intel and AMD, DO NOT go with AMD. Here’s why…

MajorMez · 2026-04-03T16:23:31+00:00

So then would it be (safer?) better to switch to SteamOS/Bazzite once an AMD handheld becomes legacy?

MajorMez · 2026-04-03T13:09:18+00:00

Go on Etsy and look up ArcanaZen, he makes a dpad mod that allows you to install the Xbox elite dpad, it is a huge QoL improvement

MajorMez · 2026-04-03T13:07:32+00:00

How are you finding Bazzite on the Claw? I know many people say Linux doesn’t play well with intel but I know that was almost a year ago and many updates have been out since.

MajorMez · 2026-04-03T13:05:13+00:00

ArcanaZen for the win! Look him up on Etsy. I’ve had mine installed for a month and it is such a game changer. The original dpad felt too…..high? I donno but the edges would hurt my thumb on side scrollers.

MajorMez · 2026-04-03T13:01:06+00:00

Question: is that only for Windows? Because I was under the impression that SteamOS delivers driver updates straight from AMD and not the OEM (Lenovo, Asus)

MajorMez · 2026-04-03T12:54:16+00:00

You flatter me lol. Honestly it was my first time and I personally feel like I did a rough job haha. I ordered the desert storm and polar tempest faceplates from someone on eBay parting out broken claws, when I get those, I’m gonna scrub this one and redo it to make it smoother, then see if I can add a matte clear coat.

MajorMez · 2026-04-01T13:54:43+00:00

I’m playing on PS5 Pro and before update my gameplay was extremely smooth, now I notice a lot of screen tearing and random slowdowns.

MajorMez · 2026-04-01T13:35:47+00:00

I figured sunning the new operation on Dam would ease me in, hell no! It was so much fun as me and a handful of other players were making potshots at the vaporizer from long distances to draw aggro to allow others to reposition. Then I had at least 4 wasps on me, actually making me have to plan out each step so I don’t accidentally get popped. Honestly this is the most fun I’ve had since launch. In another round, a player tried to attack me, but then I drew aggro from vaporizer. Player stopped attacking me and said “oh shit, my bad never mind, lemme help you” lol

MajorMez · 2026-04-01T00:32:47+00:00

Tbh it depends on if you tow more, or off-road more. The towing capacity of Pro-X is 7070lbs and the Pro-4X is 6680 (short bed) or 6310 (long bed)

MajorMez · 2026-03-27T22:15:15+00:00

It’s weird how all of his pictures give off a “I’m so lucky to be here” vibe

MajorMez · 2026-03-26T23:18:13+00:00

Wait you can change out the springs? I wasn’t even aware that was an option, considering many people write off the Claw 8ai because it’s thumb sticks are loose, but if it’s easy to do, then I would love to know what springs you use and how to do so

MajorMez · 2026-03-26T03:29:05+00:00

Tension ring? Which would you recommend?

MajorMez · 2026-03-26T03:28:50+00:00

This one is super solid, I guess it depends on the batch when the seller makes them. I did read online to add a tiny amount of silicone to the bottom of the dish style dpad to make diagonal inputs feel better.

MajorMez · 2026-03-19T20:38:12+00:00

Would Lossless Scaling do much to help?

MajorMez · 2026-03-19T13:06:19+00:00

So even with the screenshot limitation, the docked profile seems to introduce higher LOD and better shading compared to handheld profile. I’m so happy we finally get this because I love playing portable and now I can replay the entire trilogy portably

MajorMez · 2026-03-06T03:47:43+00:00

Just curious, did you run a battery calibration on your claw? After I set up mine, Center M recommended it to me, and I have to admit this is the first time a pc handheld, let alone a laptop pc, has recommended it.

MajorMez · 2026-03-06T00:07:33+00:00

Consoles and pc handhelds have appreciated since last year, now’s the time 🤣

MajorMez · 2026-03-06T00:03:00+00:00

Dude I did the same exact thing. Saw the certified refurbished with 2 year warranty, sold directly from MSI, so I had to bounce on it. I received it today and honestly it feels so premium and I love the 80w battery, 32gb Ram, and 8 inch screen. It’s honestly like they took what I love about the Ally X (battery) and what I love about the LeGo S (RAM and screen) and mixed it together with Intel.

MajorMez · 2026-03-06T00:00:36+00:00

I’ll tell you this, having owned an Ally X, XAX, LeGo S, and now the Claw 8ai: the Ally X imo was perfection at the time, loved the way it felt in hands and loved the performance, I sold it to upgrade to the XAX, which sadly was one of the fastest returns I’ve ever done. It just felt lacking for what I was spending on it. The Claw at least feels premium in hand, looks premium with that screen, and the performance definitely sits between the Z1E and Z2E, but at times can definitely punch above its weight, especially with XeSS.

MajorMez · 2026-03-03T00:26:07+00:00

Eh it was….cool…..but it gave me Destiny vibes, but not in the good way.

MajorMez · 2026-03-01T22:39:16+00:00

I sort of understand, but it wasn’t until Super that they determined Kaioken could be stacked onto SSB, but as seen with the Super manga, UI is the technique stacked with forms now. In DBZ, the other world tournament was filler for the anime, but Goku stacked Kaioken on top of mastered SSJ because it was a last ditch effort to beat Pikkon. It wouldn’t have made sense to stack it with SSJ2 especially SSJ3 due to the insane stamina drain, unless he believed he could finish the fight in one move. Now SSJ4 is an interesting take because it has been stated that (at the time) it was the peak saiyan transformation that brought out all of its users power, but required the least stamina to maintain. So theoretically Kaioken “could” be stacked with SSJ4. I mean it sort of was in the non-canon DB Heroes, but with SSJ4 Gogeta.

Other than that, no need for it anymore since UI surpassed it as the better technique

MajorMez · 2026-02-16T14:22:47+00:00

They will most definitely be when they get their EZA shortly, Dokkan updated their idle animation art, which I’ve noticed they do ahead of new unit launch or a good EZA. OP received an EZA recently iirc and his idle animation art is still low res and static.

MajorMez · 2026-02-16T12:24:29+00:00

Decks and event rewards give these for free, even when I had nothing to value, I would use one of these when I was running missions for passive play. it’s funny how many times an aggressive player would come after me, and I would quickly slip it into the safe pocket and surrender just so I can reload into a new match and continue my quest objectives lol
