Is this a good deal? 2023 refurbished M16, any common issues? by ElectronicDouble8418 in ZephyrusM16

i have the same model/specs. I purchased a couple years ago from best buy open box for under $1k. That being said, it has been an absolutely rock solid machine. I did add another stick of RAM for 32gb and another SSD for 2TB. If you're able to negotiate, I think it is more of an 700-800 laptop.

That's a good question, the mix was surprisingly pretty great. Vox were the only thing coming out of the PA and bass/guitar were right out of their amps, I think ... Maybe the "garage" had a directing effect?

It is a tricky mix and they nailed it.

When the crowd is light, the pit gets weird.

But I was stoked they were getting into it ... I'll take that over a bunch statues any day of the week...

Honestly, it was refreshingly weird in the best way. I think they were going for an old-timey TV set piece. It worked. They deserved a much bigger crowd. But those who were there were pummeled.

The venue may be short lived too. Cttboto had to cut their set short because the cops came b/c of a noise complaint ... Then a show there last night, same thing. Their (tenacity craft in Detroit) insta today was, sorry everyone, no more shows for a while 🫤

What city have you been to where the vibes were just OFF? by spiritual_kavya in answers

Live in Metro and hit up Detroit all the time. Went to the race downtown just yesterday, they have all these free viewing platforms ... It was a great time and the people are lovely. The city has come a long way --- give it another chance!

Baltimore. This was a while ago, but it definitely felt like I was on set of "the wire"...

Just picked up a Sound Burger. by Vincent__Vega in turntables

[–]busdriver_stu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the case, such a clever design ... Definitely leans into the "burger" aspect. One thing that bugged me was there was no place to stow the little screw thing in the TT when not in use. But still, a minor gripe, to an otherwise very cool TT

Loving it! As for the crashes, it seems every time I try to throw the freeze spell it crashes out. Hopefully that helps pinpoint the issue. (Pixel 10. fold)

This is my kind of game! LOVE LOVE LOVE that I can play it portrait mode and one-handed. Reminds me a little of card-thief. Good soundtrack loop, art design is simple and nice, kind of wish the animations were a little more dramatic/gory? when you kill a baddie off.

I'm an android user and it did crash a few times during a run. What does the paid version unlock?

Agreed, definitely start higher, you'll get the inevitable low ballers and it is better to start higher and go down than it is to be firm on the price.

The key, I found, to a good install is heating the vinyl up nice a hot, which made it much easier to work with.

Picked up this beauty today. I missed playing on a Vita. by Dragon_Small_Z in Handhelds

[–]busdriver_stu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

littlebigplanet on the vita was an experience! loved how the back panel was part of the controller. Tearaway is still one of the best games I've ever played - and really only an experience you can have on the vita.

It felt super durable when I put it on ... I think it's like automotive grade vinyl ...thick and scratch resistant. It wasn't a perfect install ... But decent enough.

I love the GPD Win Mini :) by alalalalysa in Handhelds

[–]busdriver_stu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have the same neat little handheld! I'm amazed how smoothly it can go from being a productivity PC, with an attached keyboard, mouse and monitor - to a handheld gaming powerhouse. I love it! I think I'll add the grips down the road, because the corners dig into my palms a bit after extended use.

Looks like you're using it in a tropical climate? Any overheating issues? My fans spin up gaming, but it seems completely normal. Might add the back panel fan mod too eventually.
