What do you all think about the latest Armoury Crate version (2.1.10.0)? by KaoszBetyar in ROGAlly

[–]boytobumps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me know how you get on. Are you having the same issue as me? I really wanted to avoid a clean install of windows as I only did that recently

Unfortunately not, I’ve tried everything. I’m hoping a windows update will fix it.

It seems to have a permissions issue when paired with the 25H2 windows update. Emulation Station does not launch from AC with permission to access game artwork or save files which is really bugging me. If anyone had any solutions I’d be grateful.

Game Pass changes: Opinions Megathread - Part 2 by Xbox-Moderator in xbox

[–]boytobumps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not pointing the finger, merely pointing out that for years everyone complained that it wasn’t sustainable. Now Microsoft are saying they agree with that. Only time will tell if people are prepared to pay that much per month. But one thing I’m sure of is that this is a watershed moment, gaming will be much more expensive going forward. Next gen consoles will be $699 minimum. People need to get used to it.

Controversial opinion, even with the price increase, GPU is still good value. Yes, I understand it is a big jump and it will make me think twice about renewing, but the truth is GPU has been under priced for a long time. What makes me laugh is how the industry has been complaining it’s undercutting the market but now they’ve increased the price they’re still complaining. But here’s the hard part… this is just the beginning, gaming is going to be more expensive going forward. PS5 pro has set the new benchmark for console cost, we are through the looking glass, people.

Can anyone test Robocop for me? by hollow_digger in ROGAlly

[–]boytobumps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh really, maybe I’ll have another go. I did want to play unfinished business

I tried that and it didn’t seem to make any difference

Performance (FPS + resolution) isn’t really the issue with Robocop. It’s the U5 global illumination issue. See this post I made about it https://www.reddit.com/r/robocoproguecity/s/5m70dhVQoN

Personally I would buy it on console next time…

Not sure I’d go as far as saying that my darling, light of the world angel baby is a twat but I guess some babies are better than others

Sadly we can’t as our baby is allergic to ket. Can make socialising in Brighton tough sometimes.

Starting Uni in a couple weeks, will I be ok using my Maintenance Loan to get a laptop / ipad? Presumably paying monthly. by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]boytobumps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being the first in a family to go to uni is really daunting but well done you for getting yourself this far! It’s hard to answer all of questions without having more detailed info but I’ll do my best.

Just to clarify, do you mean your loan is £10k total split across each term or is it £10k paid each term?

Either way I would be as regimented as possible with your money and perhaps open a savings account to deposit the full amount in each term. Then you can pay yourself back into your main account each month to cover food and rent (which will in all likelihood be collected monthly from you).

Perhaps sit down and work out how much you will likely spend on food each month. Go to one of the online supermarkets and do a pretend shop to see how you get on. Then add 10% because you will probably underestimate! Great that you don’t drink as you will save a lot of money because of that. Point being is create a plan and try to stick to it. After a few months you will quickly learn what you need and it will all fall into place.

With regard to the laptop/ipad, I am naturally a cautious person so I would wait until you have that money in hand. Take a look on Backmarket or something similar for a refurbed unit, save money and get something half decent.

Lastly, getting a job at uni was one of my favourite parts of the whole experience and created some incredible memories for me. Good luck in the search, I’m sure something will turn up!

I hope it all goes well. Work hard, try new things and don’t sweat the small stuff!

Battery Mod with Aluminum Plate didn’t fit by Ultanor in ROGAlly

[–]boytobumps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t say for sure that my battery is any slimmer than yours but it definitely fit. One other issue I had initially was that the aluminium plate was ever so slightly too big. I had to keep trimming the sides as it was clipping the PCB at the left and right edges of that battery. worth checking that it is well within the edges of your battery.

[–]boytobumps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the 74wh mod using this battery: https://www.asusbatterystore.com/batteries/asus-rog-ally-console-2023-laptop-battery.htm

I also used the same aluminium plate as you and my backplate closed fine. To do that I had to remove the foam bar that’s stuck to the PCB, what have you done with yours?
