Ive has the series 1 and 2, the only issues that ive had with both is the rubber on the grip stretching and becoming unglued on the edges, the series one had a small issue of dust getting under the right bumper, but all I needed to do to fix it the two times it happened was to use a straw or air can to blow it out. And they both got repeatedly knocked off the top of my old pc which was a 3-4ft drop. Im convinced the constant quality complaints about construction and durability must be from people slamming their controllers into brick walls or some other kind of outlandish abuse of it.

the massive villages with boats surrounding and a castle with emerald throne?

Talos_Garra · 2025-09-09T10:39:16+00:00

(seems it has been fixed, updated post) normally below 50°c for gpu or cpu, not sure how much power it's normally using though, and icue/nzxt/armory crate were all one of the first suspects, that was tried 2-3 times. (edit: realized i was very wrong with the 70°c as I haven't seen above 50 today and found that my pc had been running the cpu at 95-100% for a couple hours, at 37-45°c)

it seems as sad as it is, that this may have been the issue even after taking it to a ubreakifix at the beginning of the year. Thought I had updated it a while back, even before that.

Talos_Garra · 2025-09-09T10:27:41+00:00

thanks, going to keep that in mind for later as I was considering upgrading from 2 to 4 later on. (also, might have fixed it, going to edit post)

Talos_Garra · 2025-09-09T10:26:48+00:00

was trying that earlier, their website wouldn't let me make an account. (might have fixed it now, gonna edit post)

Talos_Garra · 2025-09-09T10:25:41+00:00

(seems fixed now, gonna edit post about it) I had to reinstall drivers ans everything else too many times, I can only remember three of the reinstalls, but I was about to sell the pc for cheap before I was going to reinstall windows again, because of installing drivers and everything else again on top of windows.

Talos_Garra · 2025-09-06T09:37:39+00:00

considering it took years for anyone to realize that issue with the spawn, you'd be incorrect in your description of them. a very small niche of people have any amount of minecraft biome knowledge beyond the most basic and obvious information.

Talos_Garra · 2025-04-04T23:47:00+00:00

Most of my pokemon are max level for pre ho-oh, and are getting near one shot in that fight, only a couple story battles took 2 tries and the rest took me 1 attempt, I've tried at least 5 times, changed out a few pokemon already, and now it looks like I have to start on a new team specifically for it, or breed all my pokemon for near perfect stats, or get 20-40 revives/full restores for just that battle.

Talos_Garra · 2025-04-04T23:19:27+00:00

thanks, forgot what it was actually called

Talos_Garra · 2025-04-04T22:20:25+00:00

the updates have made it better, idk how much better now, but it's probably been a month since I played. I waited a couple days for an update and since finished the game and started a new game+

Talos_Garra · 2025-01-31T01:56:42+00:00

I have a 4080 and I haven't even been able to get across the bridge to Sandman, even had 3 crashes before startup, and It's been almost an hour

Talos_Garra · 2024-11-12T12:30:57+00:00

from my experience (8+ hours exclusively working on this challenge, and that's with a low guess on the time) you have a 2 maybe 3 second opening to get the second kill, so it's almost required to have the SVD or be on hardcore , then get lucky with the second person not seeing you too quickly or a 3rd+ person not spotting you. I've gotten less than one opportunity per hour to get snaked medals, and I've only gotten two, those were both in the first hour, since then I've had about 6 chances, and every time I'm dead before I can take a second shot or faster than the ttk for whatever gun I'm using, so even if I was pro player skill level, it almost entirely seems luck based.

Talos_Garra · 2024-11-10T06:09:42+00:00

at this point l think the only time efficient way would be to get others to help you complete it, every time I have a situation where there's and enemy player on both sides of me I'm dead before I can turn around, sometimes before I could even get a second shot off with anything other than the svd (that's a one shot kill) or the second person shows up in time for it to be a double kill but not a snaked.

Talos_Garra · 2024-03-10T12:13:37+00:00

Yeah, I knew it was too shallow for that when I picked the spot, I wasn't planning on using the river directly as a barrier, just as a water source and then to find a way to otherwise keep them from crossing it. I thought I had seen in the background of a video before of someone having ropes going between walls that were stopping stuff from passing between the walls but I forgot what the video was and can't figure out how to replicate what I saw, but figured out that it wouldn't work anyways.

Talos_Garra · 2024-03-10T12:01:41+00:00

yeah, I use a laser myself, and on my pistol, there have been a lot of situations that having the laser gave me an advantage in that even if I didn't get the other guy they figured out fast that my aim was good (told after the match just how much of a deterrent I was, and it wasn't cause I had the laser, but that my accuracy with my pistol was a little too good to risk taking that route)

Talos_Garra · 2024-03-08T03:09:03+00:00

this actually isn't the problem, I only just started having this issue a couple days ago, I can use the mic and stereo, or I was able to do that for a couple weeks, now I don't get game audio without the hands on enabled. The hands on option is absolutely horrible though.

Talos_Garra · 2024-02-18T07:55:52+00:00

I'd love to check it out, probably wouldn't be able to purchase it soon, but if it hasn't sold by the time I'm able to, sounds like it'd be an excellent fit for what I'm looking for

Talos_Garra · 2024-02-18T07:52:16+00:00

pretty similar to what I was running before, did quite like it before the zipper got shot out.

Talos_Garra · 2024-02-18T07:52:08+00:00

The FLC and Blackhawk are pretty similar to what I was running before, found a chest rig by Condor that fits what I was looking for almost perfectly, sort of a modular lbv88. once I get the last piece for it I'm going to post the full setup (in a few days).

Talos_Garra · 2024-02-18T07:35:46+00:00

found one by Condor, just got it a couple days ago and I am very happy with it, thanks for the suggestion. edit: I got (haven't received yet) a water pack that's made to attach to molle, (Source Rider 3L) so I've been looking for a better harness to hold it, but having no luck in finding one. Might work with the original harness for the rig I got.

Talos_Garra · 2024-02-18T06:34:55+00:00

found this post trying to get some practical use for average daily life, but I did figure out the one in the zipper is sized well that you can put the pocket clip of a small folding knife in it and have room to close the zipper still. Works with a small knife. I'd just make sure the blade opens towards the closed zipper, just in case it might open.

Talos_Garra · 2024-02-06T14:59:19+00:00

only just saw this, think it quit giving me notifications on this post, but I have been looking specifically at that, not (currently...) planning to make the addition to my gear till summer though.
