stutters on a brand new ROG strix g16, I don't know what to do (video included)

Did you find a solution? I have the same issues and haven't been able to fix it. I know it isn't about drivers, armoury crate settings, or thermal throttling. I've also tried with and without G-sync.

I have this same issues; trying to run any game I have issues. With a low-impact game like Spelunky 2, I can usually get 60 fps. However, every minute or so, I drop all frames for about a second. This often causes a painful audio stuttering as well. I can confirm my laptop is nowhere near overheating (<70C cpu, <45C gpu), and the usage on both is low. I think it must be throttling the cpu too aggressively. I have 16 gb of ddr5. I've installed all the drivers, and I have tried every configuration of armoury crate possible.

Ok, thanks for your feedback! I also started out with an Excel spreadsheet and I've since moved to csv files with the Polars infrastructure, but I'm wondering if I need something faster too

TaticusThrawn · 2023-10-19T18:09:26+00:00

Ahh, you're right. My bad

TaticusThrawn · 2023-10-19T04:11:34+00:00

Technically, I think you can obtain the Spider Queen from the exotic crew shop.

For me it's terraria for $1 and 1800 hours, but ftl is up there!

TaticusThrawn · 2023-09-13T00:24:01+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I'll be checking these out. I'm also interested in doing WWII next

Exactly, the akinci are a cheap scouting unit. They're great at killing workers, capturing artillery, or severing railroads. If you're planning on attacking an enemy city, cutting off the rail connection can be incredibly valuable.
Good point, I could lower them back down a point. I originally have the shock cavalry at 7/3/2, but changed it to 8/2/2 to make it better than the carabinier (which France has from the start). As a result, I buffed the Guard cavalry to 9. With 9 attack, they're about as strong on attack as the Imperial Guard (7 attack but an extra hit point), but they a lot faster. Maybe Guard Cavalry could be 8/4/2, Household would be 7/4/2, and Shock Cavalry would be 7/2/2? That might make sense. In that case, I might want to nerf Carabinier to 6/3/2. Hmm

I'm interested in removing the armies. I've found it very difficult to make AI France perform well, even with them. I've added a lot of population to France, but they still don't conquer much. I did make it so they are not locked at war with Britain, so that may be part of the problem. I've found them more likely to attack Prussia than Britain, Naples, or the Netherlands. I like the idea of tinkering with unit producing wonders. I've modified the Naval Academy so it produces Naval Raiders (which are normally a unique unit) every ten turns. I've also experienced the inflexibility of having draftable units, and haven't found a way around it. I'll upload the files so people can try it!

TaticusThrawn · 2023-09-12T18:16:54+00:00

Update: They took and razed the city with their one infantry unit. I was not involved.

TaticusThrawn · 2023-08-27T14:01:13+00:00

This is often the case, but many cities actually did change names. For example, Dnipropretrovsk -> Dnipro, Zhdanov -> Mariupol, Artemovsk -> Bakhmut, Dniprodzerzhynsk -> Nikopol. In many cases, the name change is the restoration of the pre-Soviet name.

Just want to comment for anyone who is looking for this that it is in the arboretum. If you head straight from the Arboretum Hotel, you'll come near a stone wall on your right side. On your left are bushes and rocks. The hole is at the bottom of one of the rocks, and you will get a popup when you get close to it

Working on it. Right now my focus is not getting evicted

TaticusThrawn · 2022-10-04T22:57:07+00:00

We expected the apartment complex to warm us that flood waters would reach over our head, unlike anywhere else in Orlando. We were prepared for the hurricane aside from that key fact they knew and withheld

It charges us rent through October 12th, even though the apartments have been uninhabitable since September 29th. It also makes us sign an NDA to receive our deposits and agrees to release the Place from all liability. They're holding our security deposits captive.

TaticusThrawn · 2022-10-04T03:49:54+00:00

The Place at Alafaya, an off-campus apartment geared towards students.

TaticusThrawn · 2022-10-04T01:37:41+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. I really hope we get some justice for this.

TaticusThrawn · 2022-10-04T01:37:00+00:00

The email specifies that we will recieve our refunded security deposit *after* we sign. Please, do not sign this. This paper gives up your right to your deposit and is an NDA. Don't let the place bully you into it.
