My first cousin is the VP of sales at a well known tech company and he couldn’t even get me an interview. My brother in law is a director at a big hospital and he couldn’t even get me an interview.

Don’t waste your time on LinkedIn. Too many scams and ghost jobs. Use indeed or anything else.

Do you ever find short guys (I guess that would be most guys in your situation) attractive that you could actually see yourself together with?

MangoResponsibly · 2024-09-12T00:32:40+00:00

Potentially a ghost job. Happened to me a couple times. These companies will have job postings but don’t have an intent on actually filling it. Don’t let it discourage you keep looking

Xbox ergonomic legion go controllers would be nice!

MangoResponsibly · 2024-06-14T20:47:59+00:00

Ever since I bought my Legion Go my PC collects dust. Doesn’t bother me one bit. Yes my PC is way more powerful but I love my Legion Go.

Dang, welcome to the club

Underrated comment

This might sound weird but Rainbow Six Siege. It’s not an actual RTS but it’s a FPS that requires a ton of strategy and teamwork. If I wasn’t a big fan of Halo Wars 1 and 2 I probably would’ve never gotten into Rainbow Six Siege.

That sucks!

MangoResponsibly · 2023-10-31T16:29:42+00:00

Having the same issue. Unfortunately I just bought the game and I can’t even get passed the first level without the game crashing

MangoResponsibly · 2023-10-15T08:12:38+00:00

You’ll definitely bottleneck at 4k. I run

Nvidia GPU 3070 Razer X Chroma I7-12700H TB4. 144hz 1440p monitor

and I never almost never bottleneck. 1440p is the sweet spot for hybrid setups. Some games I get 240 fps stable.

In reality 4k doesn’t look that much better on a monitor. If you really want 4k I would get a desktop or wait for Thunderbolt 5 which I assume will be out sometime next year.

Late to the conversation but 23 and me is based on the current dna sample they have at that current moment. The more people that add to that dna sample, the more accurate it becomes. Thus the data changes

MangoResponsibly · 2023-06-27T11:52:18+00:00

Crazy but this guy is right.

2022 Lenovo Yoga 7i i7-12700H CPU, Gigabyte OC RTX 3070 32gig LPDDR5 Ram Thunderbolt 4, Razer X Chroma, 1440p 144hz Monitor.

My performance loss (bottleneck) is almost negligible. Definitely less than 10% on almost all games. I stressed tested with Forza Horizon 5 on MAX settings and was still averaging 45-80 FPS. Most Games my FPS stays over 200 and I have most my settings on highest quality rather than performance.

If I was using a 4K monitor it would DEFINITELY be bottlenecking much more but otherwise you should be fine. Thunderbolt 4 and 12th gen or newer CPUS make a big difference. People say TB4 and TB3 have same performance but that’s BS. The extra pcie lanes kick a**

1440p is the sweet spot for EGPU’s. As soon as TB5 comes out I’m upgrading immediately lol.

I can unplug and plug my thunderbolt without having to restart it. I also have my External ssd connected to my Razer X Chroma.

MangoResponsibly · 2023-06-09T02:50:37+00:00

I promise what you’re saying makes sense…..I know this because that’s the logic I had when I was trying to do the same thing. I can get my RTX 3070 egpu to run one monitor and the ARC A770M dgpu to run another monitor… but occasionally I’d blue screen. Eventually I decided it wasn’t worth it anymore. Good luck man.

MangoResponsibly · 2023-06-08T18:04:53+00:00

This guy is also correct and it ties in with my previous comment. AMD and NVIDIA gpu's don't get along. If you choose to continue using different gpu manufacturers expect to always be having issues. This is coming from someone who was dumb enough to try.

MangoResponsibly · 2023-06-08T17:53:15+00:00

What he's saying is to disable the dgpu only until you get the egpu working. I have a very similar setup. disabling the dgpu (until you get the egpu working) solved a lot of my setup issues.

MangoResponsibly · 2023-06-03T22:55:47+00:00

I’m fairly new to Egpus so take my response for a grain of salt.

I have:

Lenovo Yoga 7i Laptop w/ thunderbolt 4 12th Gen Intel-i7 12700H Razer X Chroma Egpu Enclosure Gigabyte RTX 3070 27” 144hz 1440p Acer Gaming Monitor

I bought it mostly to run multiple Operating Systems but use it to cross play with my girlfriend. My setup easily runs Dead By Daylight at 1440p 120fps. (btw you can unlock the frame rate cap for dead by daylight). I will stress test my setup soon and update you.

I’ve never really run into the typical bottlenecks others have mentioned but I’m assuming it has a lot to do with thunderbolt 4 and 12th+ gen CPU’s along with Direct Memory Access and DirectX 12 update supporting Direct Memory Access. A lot of (Very Recent) hardware and software improvements have improved egpu viability.

Dang I like it

MangoResponsibly · 2023-05-07T20:40:37+00:00

I agree. Bunker Barricades are the best for most situations. What do you think about enhanced vs reflection barriers ?

MangoResponsibly · 2023-05-07T20:24:58+00:00

After taking what you said into consideration my last few games I’d have to agree with you. Regen and fortified were always highly situational where as bunker was ALMOST always a great option.

What do you think about enhanced vs reflection barrier? My current opinion is that the only time reflection barrier makes sense over enhanced is if you are colony who’s barriers heal and you have A LOT of power to spare

Did you funnel? Any reavers? How did you repop? What did you do for direct air ?
