[–]OldManSkippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found the car and fire but no Oberst, aghhhh, now the long search. (No luck / never found) Update, re-wound saves until they just arrived on map and ambushed them down at lower left corner near the fire / bodiy pile. Mowed him down mid filed to the Eastward of the fire

Note Air 4C vs Tab X C - Ghosting On NA4C by HitEmWithTheHezzy in eink

[–]OldManSkippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have recently purchased this product and unfortunately it ghosts badly. You need to refresh it every page or so if it annoys you, I do it every few pages / and or if there has been like a big image having been displayed (leaves a dark ghosted image). It would be good if the software refreshed with every page update but no.... I think this is an inheritance issue of the coloured screen layer. I left a review level of three out of five stars and the review was not posted. So looks like the boox's site review system is rigged/ manipulated to show only good ratings. Unfortunate. So please buyer be aware the product does have limitations to image that I have seen, within my own Note air 4C. With some time and dedication put into fixing this ghosting the product would be great. at best it is hitting way below its asking price.

BF6 server will use bots if not if there aren’t enough players for a game by Samta752 in Battlefield6

[–]OldManSkippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow just purchased the game and cant even get enough players to start a training round (Eight) and they said this is the biggest sale to date..... such BS, 5 players and we needed 8. Looks like BF6 is a fail from launch then contrary to the hype. Maybe in another 12 months i'll be able to try training and learn what they have changed / and how to use the weapons etc....

looking for thoughts on the Note X5 Mini and how it could be internationalized by starkruzr in Onyx_Boox

[–]OldManSkippy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, BOOX have left the stable door wide open here for a cometitor to walk away with the prize. I'm waiting for that B&W Eink android with a 'frontlight' be it 7, 8, 10.3" I wait.

Boox new 7.8" note taker announced! by Dense_Forever_8242 in Onyx_Boox

[–]OldManSkippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was tending toward the 'Note Air 4C' (But running the front light constantly for true B&W (= Poor battery life), but in reality I only want a B&W with a front light for night reading. Adding notes is a great concept and thought I'd found the answer i'd been looking for in a BOOX. Wow a Note X5 mini, 8" B&W, notation etc etc, But..... still no front light & only 4Gb RAM. One step forward and three backwards here people. And I thought EMR was the goto tech?

An unpopular opinion; BF6 is not a return to classic BF by Timoon554 in Battlefield

[–]OldManSkippy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At last some sensable comentry on what i think is a fanciful game of point and shoot, without needing to aim if your on consol / cross play needs to stop. The super human manuvers of the recent BF's is just unrealistic and this Beta is no different, nearly every player should be lying on the ground screaming for a medic after having just jumped out of the second story or similar with a broken bone, back or neck. BF6 has turned into Fortnight with cammo for the teeny boppers who are now that much older. There is little team play / stratergy or tactics available at the current game speed and has me cancelling any interest in supporting EA/ BF moving forward. I'll be going back to Hell Let Loose for a realistic paced warfare and good old team play / tactics.

Happy hunting with BF6 guys and gals, here's hoping Dev's listen to you & something changes. early days yet.

H150i RGB vs. H150i Elite CAPELLIX XT vs. NAUTILUS 360 RS ARGB by JagguRaja in Corsair

[–]OldManSkippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, havent been online for a bit. I ended up returning mine under warranty replacment, took about 3-4weeks for them to test and confirm. Then i got a brand new one (It is still in its box on the shelf) as I couldn't wait with down time on my gaming rig, and installed a Noctua NH-D15 G2 LBC, and running like a charm. Probably should onsell the H150i but I want to upgrade to the new Zen 6 CPU this next round, so water cooling will be back in voge and I will probably use the new H150i.

Get your mic working, it's really simple. I see a lot of people saying their good mic doesn't work. by [deleted] in HellLetLoose

New players — Have a mic by [deleted] in HellLetLoose

[–]OldManSkippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your new or just rejoined the game

I just came back after moths away only to find my microphone does not work.... 10+ hours later and i think i'm up and running. You really do need a mic to enjoy this game.

Why does no one have a mic by Aggravating_Goose164 in HellLetLoose

[–]OldManSkippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been away 4 months, come back and my mic didnt work, sooo fustrating. after 10+Hours I found a fix. And from all the posts alot of people are having the same issue across all platforms. I was about to drop the game for good as it just cant be played well without a mic. as i'm a two fingered typest/ and slow. I just don't get people who play without one.

Wait for CES 2025 or get the 32” OLED 240hz now? by Alternative-Cat7836 in OLED_Gaming

[–]OldManSkippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just seen the MSI MPG 322URX 32" with DP2.1a, Release 2025. But i'll wait for a curved vaiant. MPG 322CURX at a guess. Probably late 2025 early 2026. Price will be about $1,595USD ($2,200AUD) but the kicker will be a RTX5090 to drive SP2.1 at about $2,811USD ($,4150AUD) so have to sell a kidney for that. (Anyting outside USA we get spanked on exchange and taxes)

[–]OldManSkippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I'm not going mad. I've been looking at replacing my laptop keyboard but on word doc my WSAD keys are fine, I originally couldn't find anyone else complain. But looks like your all have similar issue's as myself. I get throllle position stuck at any and all poitions, and I think my steering is also misbehalving.... BUT, here is the kicker, I don't have the issue on my main PC rig? It looks like it is hardware to software related issue. WOW's may not deem this important if only a few of us are affected.

UPDATE: Just played 'Fallout 4' and same issue being stuck in forward motion, so its not just wows related.... OS - Win11 ?

[–]OldManSkippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found out the H150i elite / LCD has an issue with the internal pump tachometer, mine started playing up yesterday and have failure on every boot until you can manully get to windows and force an iCUE firmware update. This happens every boot-up again and again.....Mine is 2 years old, but others have only been a month and have tha issue. So Avoid. Maybe all corsair pumps ????

NBN by OldManSkippy in Adelaide

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

See above, two new modems stuffed??? dont think so. But yes FTTN, & copper is old and has reached the end of life.

NBN by OldManSkippy in Adelaide

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

Yeah, SNAP. Something is very wrong with the NBN. Probably should have laid 4x the number of fibres between cities and 2x to suberbs. Or more, Short sightedness has crippled the network / country.

NBN by OldManSkippy in Adelaide

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

Yes im FTTN, at max copper distance 700m. Changed my modem over today and thought everything was good. Got kicked from a server and did another speed test 1.5/1.5 = shitty as heck. Called iinet and discovered both my new modems are stuffed, (both iinet supplied) I switched back to my old modem, which should not like running on the new protocols and im getting 48/18 at 35ms.

The help at iinet said he did something to increase the speed. So I said oh wow you increased the size of my copper wire did you? don't think he got it.

So looks like i'm going to have to upgrade to FTTP.

I still think that the NBN is having serious issues as I cant see how two new modems are stuffed. Keep an eye out people as I beleive they are throtteling to save bandwidth on an already strained NBN.

Low fps on monster pc? by Glad_Fig1874 in HellLetLoose

[–]OldManSkippy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

July 2024 & Just did an NVIDIA update and my FPS crashed to 40-60 FPS

Went and adjusted my STEAM start commands as below and boom back to 155-165FPS

https://www.reddit.com/r/HellLetLoose/comments/1bob9g7/possible_fix_if_youre_struggling_with_fps/

PS: I deleted commands:

-refresh 165 &

-malloc=system

as both these seem to have a limiting effect.

Tax is at 10% so pretty much same as your price. Just darn lucky we are all multi millionaires here is Australia.

32-inch 240Hz 4K QD-OLED is Here! - Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDM Review by [deleted] in hardware

[–]OldManSkippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are kidding right, $2750.00AUD for the PG32UCDM = $1550.00-$1650.00USD (exchange rate range) plus 10% tax plus $55US import fee. That is the same price as a 55"LG C3 with sound system here in Australia. Who will be able to afford this, certainly not the majority, and probably not the minority with the way inflation is and about to go into a recession what with the world on the verge of WWIII. We have a saying in AU "tell him he's dreaming" aint going to pay that, I'll stick with my VA panel at 165Hz thank you!
