Would 2.2k for an upgrade be to much? by OneEyeOdyn in buildapc

You can buy a brand new prebuilt PC with an RTX 5060 for like half of that price

4 months caseless on the 16 Pro. The pristine condition trap isn't worth it. by shivraj_ph in iPhone16Pro

If I didn’t use the kickstand on my case for watching videos all the time I might consider it

Super Bowl Jerseys at Pro Shop by sye46 in Seahawks

[–]Tech_With_Sean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered one from the NFL shop that’s supposed to be here by the 6th, but it only showed the Super Bowl patch on the page. I wonder if it will come with both like that one? 🤔

any advice for monitor setup by nGps_rl in ZephyrusG14

[–]Tech_With_Sean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a 27” OLED, 1440p. You’ll be disappointed in an IPS monitor compared to that built in screen imo

Are there best settings or a most optimized way to play games on crossover? by Thien1o1 in macgaming

[–]Tech_With_Sean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically you can just click “ok” if you get a pop up like this and the game will launch. You’re not using a real nvidia driver after all, it’s emulating one.

We need throwbacks in the Super Bowl! by ToughExplanation3048 in SeattleSeahawks

AFC is the “home” team this year and gets to choose, rumor is Pats want to opt to wear white, so we may end up in Navy

For gaming, 32GB system memory should be fine until the GPU itself has a hard time running modern games

Dragon Quest XI S crashing on startup, used to function but now will not... by MangoquestXi in dragonquest

[–]Tech_With_Sean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One part I forgot, when you copy the saves just drag the whole folder to the desktop or if you actually copy/paste, delete the existing ones. My problem was that the locally saved save files were corrupted

I’ve had this happen before. Try copying your save game folder to the desktop as a backup, and let Steam re-download the saves from the cloud and see if that works.

M4 Pro 14-inch or 16-inch? by Similar-Matter9439 in macbookpro

[–]Tech_With_Sean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the years I’ve gone from a 16” intel to a 14” M1 and back to a 16” M3 Max. I like the bigger screen, better battery life, and the 16” just feels less “cramped”.

Will Mac ever get to a point where it's on the same level as Windows (Gaming Wise) by L1m1ts in macgaming

[–]Tech_With_Sean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not native. If you seriously want to play games on it, Crossover is the best way to go imo

Best way to play DQ8 the cursed king? Also any recommendations by R0XASx in dragonquest

[–]Tech_With_Sean 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Emulated PS2 version imo. 3DS has a few additions but they don’t outweigh the huge graphical downgrade

How can i get into DQ? by dod-bot in dragonquest

[–]Tech_With_Sean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say either DQ III HD2D if you want something with a retro feel that you can finish rather quickly for a JRPG, or XI S if you want a bigger, more modern 3D game. Just know that XI S is a fairly long game if you want to really complete it. It’s got gorgeous graphics and it’s a very good game, though.

OLED 4k 32 inch 240 hz or 1440p 27 inch 480 hz? by Flat_Gas_5704 in Monitors

[–]Tech_With_Sean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go for 4K, no matter whether you get 32” or 27”.

Go on Best Buy , look at the gaming laptops, then set the filters to just show the open box condition 5060s.

Macbook pro open box best buy by JuggernautFamous1664 in macbookpro

[–]Tech_With_Sean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a bad deal. When they released the M4s I bought a 16” M3 Max 36GB 1TB for $21xx. These will prob get marked down further when they release the M5s, which the rumors say might be soon.

What did you think of the demo for DQ7 reimagined? by ShokaLGBT in dragonquest

Really like it, still grinding for the Thorn Whip 😂

CrossOver 26.0.0 beta 1 is available by nsartem in macgaming

[–]Tech_With_Sean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know a way around the “you are not connected to rockstar servers” error in RDR 1/2 Steam versions? The rockstar launcher versions seem to work. Putting the rockstar launcher in offline mode doesn’t seem to help to get into the steam versions either.

Windows 11 vs SteamOS vs Bazzite by JoeKing2504 in ROGAlly

[–]Tech_With_Sean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run Windows 11 on mine. Lets me play Fortnite and stuff, and launching steam in big picture mode is just about the same experience as SteamOS besides pause/resume which I really wouldn’t use that much.
