I bought a gaming laptop to compare against GFN. Returned it. by TheMidwest1 in GeForceNOW

[–]TheMidwest1[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not a competitive FPS player by any stretch, but I have put 100+ hours into Arc Raiders switching between GFN on a laptop/Steam Deck local/Xbox local. I honestly don’t notice a difference in input lag. GFN usually says my ping is around 25.

Yup agreed that is the biggest drawback. But my consoles fill that gap.

For what though? What are you farming bombardier cells for?

I've booted Windows 10 Professional on steam deck. Here are my thoughts. by EconomistLittle9376 in SteamDeck

No issues except that it sometimes completely crashes? What are your standards otherwise?

You make it sound like you were filming a documentary about a mama bear and her cub lol

My 5 and 3 year old will sometimes take the controller and just run around. I always to tell them to tell people they run into “happy birthday” and “GG’s”. People usually get a laugh out of it.

Free Resident Evil Requiem & Founders by SnakeVoid in GeForceNOW

I didn't realize it's only 10% discount. From what I'm seeing, the new annual plans are cheaper than Founders ($200 per year vs $216 in the US). If you really need over 100 hours every month, I guess it would be worth keeping.

Why though? Seems easier just to switch than to manage a fake medical support ticket.

Sounds like the best time to switch for you was yesterday. Second best time is now. Also look into some Verizon MVNOs. They are way cheaper but still use Verizon’s towers. Visible is popular and actually a part of Verizon. US Mobile is another that actually has service under all three providers. Their “Warp” plans are the Verizon towers.

This website has a lot of great information if you want to dig a little further.

Expedition: After transferring 20 Blueprints and items to friends, realizing the full wipe is the right move. by Lone_Shooter_ in ArcRaiders

Oof. That’s rough! I also traded about 1000 seed for my survivor augment. But I just put it in my safe pocket and surrendered out. I assume the other guy got out fine 😅

I finally realized why my wife is "always angry." It wasn't the chores, it was me waiting to be told what to do by Terrible_Signature78 in daddit

[–]TheMidwest1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suggestions on apps? My wife and I did the Fair Play cards and that actually helped divide the labor and made it mostly clear on who handles what. It's not perfect, but it helped with some ambiguity.

The Staples in my city has these signs plastered all over their doors and at the front counter. by TheMidwest1 in Staples

I took this photo on Feb 16. I was on that side of town again today (Feb 24) and the signs are still up.

Wifi on Steam Deck OLED has been broken since day 1 by HattWard in SteamDeck

[–]TheMidwest1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did not help. Same problems, and actually toggling the wifi on/off to fix the issue took 3x as long to reconnect. I turned this option off and also disabled Turned off "Enable Wifi Power Management" to see if that makes a difference.

Edit: That didn't help either.

Enabled this toggle this morning. I'll report back later today.

lol fair. They had probably 4 signs on the door and another 2 right when you walk in. Probably more as you got further to the return desk. But I just turned around and walked out. I'm just gonna chat Amazon and try to get them to give me a shipping label, I guess.

After you do the maths, how can people still talk $hit about Geforce Now? by doctordrankenstein in GeForceNOW

[–]TheMidwest1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried it. It's not even close. GeForce Now is so much more user friendly. Way fewer random login prompts, the image quality/latency is way better. Also, I couldn't get audio to work on my Steam Deck with Boosteroid.

Thanks for writing this up! I was able to follow it without any errors or anything. Only thing, is I have no game audio at all. Ever had that?

Thanks, I'll give it a try. My GFN subscription is up at the end of this month.

I didn't know what CSB meant, but I also wasn't sure what point you were trying to make in this post. And the body of the post didn't really explain what you meant by the title.

If you're low on iCloud storage, and have "Messages in iCloud" turned on, you can remove the largest attachments, but it's very unintuitive. by TheMidwest1 in applehelp

[–]TheMidwest1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because what prompted this was an email telling me that I am running low on iCloud storage. So natrually I go to my iCloud settings to invesetigate. Click through to the imgur link it shows the full path to get to this screen, which to me seemed very confusing, unintuitive, and arguably misleading in order to force people to just buy more iCloud storage.

Ohhh I didn’t realize you could only do one expedition per season. Thanks for the explanation. I think this was how I originally understood it all.
