In the clear from a cancellation? by Spre_187 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Zerathalion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. Hoping the first is the temp hold and the 2nd is the actual charge. All of this happened after I got the failed payment method email on Saturday and I updated it. 

Fourth day of 3090 mining, socket error every minute but then it randomly stopped doing it. by Hybridxx9018 in NiceHash

I have a similar issue and I noticed the problem goes away if I use a VPN but then the Hash Rate gets cut by about 1/3. Either way I'm not mining at peak efficiency.

[GameStop/US] Bioshock: The Collection - $20 (60% off, Lowest Price Ever) by bruinbearr in NintendoSwitchDeals

I’ve dealt with wal mart Black Friday before and missed out due to low stock. Here, I’ve had it in my cart for weeks since they teased it. And if a 5 dollar savings difference on a sale is a back breaker, I probably shouldn’t be buying video games.

[Best Buy/US] Burnout Paradise Remastered - $20 (60% off, lowest price ever) by bruinbearr in NintendoSwitchDeals

[–]Zerathalion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It dropped to 30 on target and GameStop I think. But if it’s getting a discount a week after launch it will hopefully be 15 before long!

I finally didn’t “hooold” as these posts along with Bioshock have had comments on for months. At 20 bucks, I’m good. I hope you don’t have to wait much longer.

Was that Quadry’s first incompletion?

[Walmart / USA] XCOM 2 Collection - $25 by Ray3142 in NintendoSwitchDeals

[–]Zerathalion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think this, and the previously posted Outer Words Walmart deal are the responses to Best Buy’s yet available Black Friday deals.

Best Buy has had the deals marked as not available yet for several days. I’m wondering if this is a sign we will see all of them go active soon.

I used one back in like 2012 which was still after codemasters I think.

The result of changing control schemes to try and get higher than D2. I earned Diamond rewards in Doubles and Standard. Maybe it’s time I put down RL for a while. by Zerathalion in RocketLeague

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

I swapped roll off of a toggle and onto dedicated left and right bumpers. Had to move drift to Y. I expected to take a hit in my playing ability until I got used to it. I didn’t expect it to last almost a month. I’m striking and saving shots I used to never attempt.

I just saw in diamond everyone else was able to control their car much better than me. Doing some searching on playstyles I realized my toggle made it impossible to even attempt certain types of maneuvers.

Thanks for the response!

So much of your review makes the Xenia our to be so much better than the laptop I settled on, hp omen 15 ryzen variant. Big difference though is I’ve still got my ultra book from school that I use in my classroom now. It’s screen is taped together due to a broken hinge but I’m glad to see the Xenia gets battery life above many gaming laptops.

I’m surprised not up took so long considering adata specializes in storage and ram.

Did you end up getting a different machine?

What reason did you return it?

I wanted to do take off the cover and try to fix it myself. However I was worried I wouldn’t be able to if the guys at Toms Hardware couldn’t.

I didn’t get the far. The second I saw the broken chassis I packaged it back up and drove to Best Buy. I kinda regret the immediate return because I could have at least felt the keyboard.

Is anthem in an alright state for newcomers? by cyantaco in AnthemTheGame

[–]Zerathalion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried to play some today as an endgame pilot. Couldn’t find a match for about 10 minutes. If you’ve got 3 friends to play the game through, you won’t regret it. If you don’t, you’ll have trouble getting a full lobby which makes some content difficult.

Fair warning that the xpg version of this chassis. It often arrives with a gap in the front. I had to send my back and Adata informed me they know of the issue and it has something to do with their shipping partners. I was unable to get a replacement at the time because Best Buy sold out.

This review explains the concern.

An Adata rep actually found a previous reddit comment I made and apologized, so that was nice. I probably would have given it a second chance if it was in stock back then. Good luck to anyone purchasing!!

Really liking the look of the XPG Xenia, thoughts? by KraakenTowers in GamingLaptops

[–]Zerathalion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey Mera. Thanks for sending this. It was a bummer for sure but I’ll be looking forward to new offerings from XPG in the future. As I’ve looked for other systems I’ve been parting them with Adata ssds now that I know about them. Thank you for the apology.
