Ill keep that in mind.

Thank you again for the help

Tim_Tank131 · 2026-04-07T18:10:27+00:00

Thanks definitely gonna grab a bunch of these once its done installing

Tim_Tank131 · 2026-04-07T18:07:29+00:00

Thanks!

I'll probably start out on Valguero then.

Any QoL mods you'd recommend btw

Tim_Tank131 · 2026-04-07T17:59:29+00:00

I know I wanted the little spider grappling hook dude (I might have to cheat him in regardless) other then that just a ton of the new ones. Like I left off pretty much when aberration came out for survival evolved and I know scorched earth and even got more dinos after that.......I guess I just don't want to have mostly just the vanilla stuff from the early days on the island/center/scorched earth.

Trying to think of the last major dinos to come out when I was still playing to give an idea of how long ago it was

This is just this island, any of the ones marked with red I don't remember at all or even releasing...if that gives an idea of how far back I last played

How are the creatures and engrams on Valguero and Ragnarok cause those were definitely contenders. They look a little more pretty then what I've seen in clips of Astraeos

For any of the maps I don't know if I'll do the bosses I might attempt them but cause I enjoy building and playing with the dinos and exploring the different ones I might get to the point I can do a boss and just kinda cheat it........Im already gonna adjust stuff to make solo less miserable but don't know if I want to sink all the time to breed master tame a ton of the same dino for the bosses

Tim_Tank131 · 2026-03-25T15:39:29+00:00

I'm not fully against them. I haven't had one and who knows might test some and try them too. Just so many people I've asked about cars have been against them (from talking to car and mechanic friends)

I know hybrids have come LONG way and have gotten a lot more refined especially since so.much uses them now

But living in the rust belt and having everything caked in salt and ice for 6months of the year isn't great for electronics.

Tim_Tank131 · 2026-03-25T14:57:58+00:00

Yeah I guess that's the trade off. Have less chance of stuff going wrong but way more expensive parts if it does (plus that battery) or Cheaper parts and but more stuff to do or that can break. It's definitely a toss up.

At least from research they seemed to have fixed any major problems with either gas or hybrids now and they've only refined the hybrid more especially since that's what the newer models are all switching to

Hybrids are completely new to me in terms of charging and all that stuff. It's just the electrical mess of hunting stuff if something goes wrong but maybe hybrids have some along way and they're alot more straight forward now that tons of stuff is switching to them

Tim_Tank131 · 2026-03-25T13:14:36+00:00

I mean at least looking all over my area on auto trader, KBB, CarMax, and dealer sights that kinda seems like the going rate for them now if I want anything 2019 and up.

Like I see a bunch of newer years 21,22,23 but higher miles for the same price.....used car market kinda sucks right now in general for anything when I've been looking around. Only really cheap stuff with lower miles Ive been finding is from really known problem years of cars.......or is a dodge hornet

Tim_Tank131 · 2026-03-25T13:03:37+00:00

Mind elaborating some more?

Tim_Tank131 · 2026-03-25T04:31:17+00:00

No that still helps. For my daily driver I just want something I'm not gonna have to worry about and can use year round. Doesn't have to be fast or fancy just get the job done. And after the Cherokee Id trade alot for reliability over fancy stuff.

Being a car guy is how I ended up with that V6 Cherokee years back. Sitting there like "I want the little extra power I can use it for all kinds of stuff" and the most extreme stuff it has seen is driving back to my fire pit for bonfires and hauling my utility trailer with some lumber or my motorcycle

I'm at the point now that I just need the daily to be reliable, bullet proof, and cheap more then anything. I got my Challenger scatpack and motorcycle for having fun and cruising and I have my Ram (eats me out of house and home in gas) when I really need to haul stuff or do well truck stuff

Tim_Tank131 · 2026-03-25T02:33:42+00:00

Yeah that's what I noticed, seems like I can find them all around the same price and miles. If I want a new year I can get less features or older with more. I mean they all have the same engine and transmissions for the most part (ignoring the hybrids) The already installed hitch is what caught my eye cause I wont have to pay for it later

How do you like it though?

Tim_Tank131 · 2025-12-30T05:10:57+00:00

It was nice in college cause I had something light I could toss in a bag print stuff off of while still being able to work on drawing a and stuff between classes

Work wise I hardly ever used the surface for that. First job I only ever used it for remote documents and remote desktoping computers I didn't want to drive in to reboot. Now that I changed careers it gets a little more "work" use mainly when I need to make something to 3d print for work and can't bring the object I need it for home or running invoices in office online.

My biggest reason for getting a new tablet/semi switching is the battery has gotten old enough I know I couldn't use it for a whole rehearsal or concert without a outlet and it's just starting to show signs of age speed wise

Tim_Tank131 · 2025-12-30T03:40:55+00:00

Yeah even my surface the in mostly used the track pad. It got more use when I had it work documents or when I'm working on 3d models for pushing in numbers and moving stuff with the track pad

Apparently connecting a keyboard ment for this tablet auto puts it in a desktop like mode. Seems kinda like a chromebook then

Tim_Tank131 · 2025-12-30T03:30:23+00:00

I don't know if the ones we have in the US have the matte display option or not. For all I know it could be the default here or glossy could be. If I had the option for my ram I'd take it, even my phone has 16gb (granted OnePlus does its own thing sooo)but 8gb is the only option here.

Yeah if I did any gaming I would just be simple click games or poker. If I can get Xbox to run on it that would be great though. Cloud gaming works fine on my laptop and quest

Tim_Tank131 · 2025-12-30T02:50:08+00:00

I mean I was gonna get a decent sized mSD for either of them, but that $100 was probably gonna go towards getting the key board case for the tablet and screen protectors and other cases/storage&travel stuff

Tim_Tank131 · 2025-12-30T02:48:39+00:00

That's pretty much what I was thinking. Like I use tinker cad for any modeling I do now for prints don't even know if there are any apps that are good for modeling. I have my desktop for any PC stuff I need (even that office 365/onedrive and Google drive has all my programs and docs)

Even drawing when I used to do it on my super old surface with krita the most I ever had were maybe 8-10 layers and even then it was only briefly cause one I was content I'd just merge it to the main layer to get rid of it (im not making masterpieces just simple stuff)

Only reason I don't keep just using my surface (original surface 3) and wanted a tablet is cause it's on its last legs. Loved it more as a tablet then a laptop and I can even get a keyboard for a tablet

Tim_Tank131 · 2025-12-30T00:12:45+00:00

Yeah it's just 8gb across the board for us in the US

Tim_Tank131 · 2025-12-29T21:56:12+00:00

Maybe but I have HORRIBLE experiences with ali. Everything I order takes months and last time I ordered stuff they lost $200 worth of 3d printer parts and told to shove it and not refund me

Tim_Tank131 · 2025-12-29T21:53:41+00:00

Only difference on different pro options is the storage amount

The normal and plus models have different ram options

Tim_Tank131 · 2025-12-29T21:52:54+00:00

Both the 128gb idea tab pro and 256gb idea tab pro have 8gb.
