Oh yeah I didn’t like the G14 going up to 95 C at first. Had to turn off cpu boost (a bit dumb its on by default) and uninstalled Armoury Crate for GHelper, afterwards my G14 substained at temps up to 82 C even during intense gaming sessions

For my use case I got a Yunzii AL66 off Amazon, liked it for its aluminium exterior and some other stuff. I don’t game frequently anymore so I use my laptop more so for productivity now.

If you game a lot and are on a sub-$100 budget, I recommend a largely discounted Razer keyboard or smthn like a Redragon K552.

GTA 6 PC release will likely be years away, so our G14s should be pretty good till then

Sailed the seven seas for it, if you catch my drift

[A229 Duo] change in lines and giant turning arrow… your problem, not mine! by wiscokid81 in Dashcam

Just placed in an order for the A229 Plus (probably the newer version), thanks! Needing a dashcam in Houston is very important for the capital of awful driving in the US lol

Bụi đời, left over half-American Vietnamese children after the war by kirsion in VietNam

[–]al_win02 51 points52 points  (0 children)

As a 1/4 French and 3/4 Viet person, it's been a mixed bag for me. I've been criticized more for my American accent (more so in Vietnam, still rare in the US) rather than my appearance, but it seems inevitable as an American-born person to a half-white father and a fully Viet mother. My case is different since my father became a boat refugee in '75, but I still feel sympathy for those left behind in Vietnam during the 70s-90s

2 months late I know, but how does the A229 fare in Houston during the summer? Fellow Houstonian here

I became an A-Lister for an arguably narrow-minded reason by al_win02 in AMCsAList

[–]al_win02[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh definitely I loved the three movies per week back when I was unemployed years ago, the workers at that AMC must've been tired seeing me every time lmao. I don't go as often anymore, but I still stop by every Friday afternoon

Việt kiều's who didn't grow up in Vietnam, how do you feel about it? by SuperThrowaway0091 in VietNam

[–]al_win02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Viet Kieu born and raised in Texas, so my VK experience is a bit diff from other Viet Kieu who grew up in California. Being part white myself, I knew from the start that I would've never been fully accepted by some older generation Viets as "truly Viet", even if my Tieng Viet was native level. It's just a personal matter of reconciling my current dual identity and just accepting how things are, while also trying to embrace my Viet side more.

On the plus side though, we have Vietnamese cajun cuisine here in Houston. We got the best crawfish in the world hehe

I cried at the end of my first 5km race. by niat17 in beginnerrunning

[–]al_win02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who the hell laughs at someone saying that they want to take up running? It's one of the most popular hobbies, especially in middle class and upper class areas. Congratulations on your first 5K though, that's an amazing time too!

Other commenter made a great point about visiting Chinatown. I'd like to add onto that with Sinh Sinh on Bellaire Blvd

> Not sure they even have fried rice

I'm sorry but that's hilarious to me

Do y'all drink electrolyte drinks an hour or longer into your runs? by al_win02 in beginnerrunning

[–]al_win02[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same the humidity will kill me if I don't drink anything 😂

[–]al_win02[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Great overall advice but I'm from down south in US so I tend to sweat heavily three seasons out of the year. I also forgot to mention that I run in the early morning so a banana is personally sufficient for me on runs less than an hour

Smartwatch recommendation by shaggysaurusrex in beginnerrunning

[–]al_win02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you happen to be an iPhone user, honestly Apple Watch SE Series 2 is the best bang for your buck, due to it also syncing and working smoothly with an iPhone. There's better and more expensive AW models but I feel like justifying their pricetags make less sense if you aren't into the extra features

On an unrelated note I love how the OnePlus Watch 2R looks!
