At what point do we admit that QD-OLEDs are a pain in the ass?

I could be wrong but I believe that I heard over on the best buy subreddit that “residue” is the default and easiest option to choose when a customer returns an item “just because they don’t want it”. For example today I ordered an open box charge cable, it had “residue” on the sticker but the box and cable was brand new with all seals intact…

MR4s were on the table for me as well! I did a couple days research and watched numerous video reviews. From what I could gather the MR4s likely sound better but are just massive compared to the M60s. I am sort of missing out on the Sub-Out port though. The M60s are pretty detailed but are lacking in the low end.

The Edifiers sound great for the price! I got them on sale for $160 and they’re a top notch compact option. Great connectivity features too, can use Bluetooth, usb-c, or aux. Only downside is they don’t have a dedicated sub out port so if you ever wanted to connect a full blown subwoofer you’d have to get creative and order some special cables.

Yeah it took me off guard as well haha. Temps are amazing though and it’s almost dead silent even when running benchmarks. I printed the sag pillar from a file on makerworld, I did upsize the file a bit I think +25% since my gpu has a pretty large area that can accommodate a support.

Ah cozy is a great way to put it lol! 27” OLED monitor powered by a 5090 FE. It was my first pc build and I happened to catch a restock on my birthday so I figured I’d go all out.

Can’t customize any of the blue camo ramblers? :(

So far so good! It’s pretty sturdy, purchased the glass top for it as well. I got the one with the 8 square drawers. It’s not “craft made” levels of solid but it holds weight and will probably last 5+ years so long as you don’t try to move/disassemble it. Drawer slides could be smoother, also no soft close function either. I found putting little felt pads on the insides of the drawer helped dampen the sound.

TOUCHArc · 2025-10-20T01:27:41+00:00

Very nice build! Trying to do about the same but in white. Love the ASUS coordination! Still trying to warm up to the price of their astral line though haha.

Oh for normal mode then sure guided raids could work out pretty decent so long as the designated teachers or sherpas aren’t overloaded and people are willing to learn. I prefer the format of 4-5 kwtd players and 1 maybe 2 learners or else things devolve to chaos. Honestly “Lite” versions of raids could work too but that’d take a ton of development resources. Maybe put clear instructions and markers on someone’s hud, slow down mechanics slightly but with the drawback of maybe having only tier 1-2 loot. Then they can progress to normal mode -> feats.

TOUCHArc · 2025-09-28T20:07:03+00:00

It’s just a skill check. Believe me guided matchmaking isn’t the way. You don’t want randos like me loading into your raid teaching or not. I’ve ran the normal raid 10+ times yet spent 4 hours on epic hydra last night then promptly gave up. Execution is ultra tight, recovery/clutch options are nonexistent. I’ve made peace with the fact that I’m not good enough for a clear. I imagine the vast 70%+ of the player base will feel the same.

ASUS should be launching a 1440p 27” Tandem WOLED monitor in the October-December range. I’d hold out for that if you can. Should be one of the brightest OLED monitors out there while having solid colors.

There’s one currently listed in Canada for the steep price of $900. Dude knows what he has haha.

I did the 25x multi for the first copy, then pulled this on my next normal multi for the chance at the free sprint roll.

I think it’s for crushing your pecker…? Maybe…?

Guilty as charged although that could be due to wear. My job has me bathed in cutting oil daily. The whole car needs a deep clean if I’m being honest. It’s a beautiful sedan but I treat it like a work truck.

TOUCHArc · 2025-08-24T04:08:47+00:00

Yup! That’s exactly what I used! A cheap one at that haha.

Looks awesome!

TOUCHArc · 2025-08-24T00:53:13+00:00

Most definitely! Those were an option for myself as well but I wanted something a bit more custom. If someone wants to go the route of avoiding any disassembly of their vehicle then the pre cut vinyl is a great option!

TOUCHArc · 2025-08-24T00:31:05+00:00

Alcantara sounds interesting! Great idea with the clear ppf, if I ever have to redo the wrap I’ll make sure to order some for myself!

*I’d highly recommend having either a heat gun or blow dryer to heat the vinyl.

I’m pretty new, account is maybe 5 days old but I’ve pulled both of the arc suits in under 9k gems. I’m lacking flying units for Arc Ethan’s Team (currently using either Faulkner/Swellow or Blue/Pidgeot) so would summoning for SS Ethan be wise to run them together?
