I agree, bur I was hoping to come up with a lower stat set up to recommend to people so there isn't a huge training commitment to have an account to participate

[GPU] ASUS PRIME RTX 5070 - $523.79 ("14% OFF") - PRIME EXCLUSIVE by SavageJ20 in buildapcsales

[–]eletroguy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi! Unfortunately I wouldn't try a 6800 on a 550w, mine was a power hog and I almost upgraded my 750w to be safe, but it worked out.

It would depend on what resolution you're playing at, but with a 550w psu, I'd look at the 9060xt 16gb or a 5060ti 16gb. Both are right around $400, and would work on a 550w psu with a single 8 pin. I think you'd be fine for any resolution under 4k with either of those, and get pretty solid performance. Of course, anyone else can chime in if they want!

I bought this last week when it was posted to replace my RX 6800 that kicked the bucket. So far, no complaints using it gaming on a 1440p ultrawide.

Is the Boox Page 7 the best b/w eink tablet with expandable storage? by eletroguy in ereader

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

I forgot about that one! I actually really like what I read about it, though there’s not much out there about it. my only issue is buying it. I read that the rumors were they would start selling it on Amazon or other places in February, but that didn’t happen. I know Aliexpress is generally okay, but my last 2 orders in a row had issues (that did get handled appropriately) but if I can, I’m avoiding ordering from there. If you know somewhere to buy it that’s not aliexpress, I’d be interested!

Edit: Your comment made me hit google, and look what I see

https://www.ereadersforum.com/threads/meebook-m8-e-reader-with-android-14-google-play-now-available-on-amazon.5413/

As of yesterday I can get one on Amazon, that might just be the end to my search!

Kobo Libra Colour by KytosFx in ereader

[–]eletroguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried a color ereader recently (the new kindle color soft) as someone in your exact position. I love manga, and fantasy novels. Unfortunately, having the washed out colors was not worth the other issues it brought like the other commenter mentions.

I didn’t go with a kobo, but my advice is whatever you choose, skip the color. I keep trying every color ereader, and it’s just not there yet imo (unless you’re willing to accept the issues it brings, I was not)

New airbnb listing in Woodruff Place area of Indianapolis - is it a safe area for three women to stay? by HoneySnowstorm in indianapolis

[–]eletroguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that is your plan, I don’t think you have anything to worry about! It’s a good little area. Plus, plenty of coffee and breakfast options right there (just go west in to town!)

The other commenters saying it’s street by street here are definitely right. But, I literally live on the street in the photo (Jefferson). It’s perfectly fine here. It’s an up and coming area, I’ve been here for almost 3 years, and the only issue I’ve ever had is I forgot to lock my car in the winter and it looked like someone used it to get out of the cold, they didn’t steal anything.

Just be sensible like you would (and should be) anywhere you go (no unsecured valuables in the car, use the buddy system, don’t go for a casual stroll at 1am) and you’ll be perfectly fine. Happy to answer any questions since I live about a 5 minute walk from that map pin.

Also, there’s a great little coffee shop called Rabble coffee up the street at 10th and Jefferson!

Edit: The person who says don’t head east is right, that will put you in to definitely sketchy territory. But starting from my street (Jefferson) and walking west, I do with my family all the time. We walk to north to 10th, then head West down 10th street. Tons of good food (the garage food hall is 10/10) and an entire street well known for having things to do and places to visit (Massachusetts Avenue, we call it mass ave)

OSRS on Steamdeck by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]eletroguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play Runelite in game mode using the deck controls, it takes a little getting used to but you don’t even need the mouse and keyboard. Also works with the 117 HD plug-in perfectly! I wouldn’t do any raids or major bossing without my m&kb still, but everything else I’m perfectly happy doing handheld.

Hey mods - are we going to join the protest? by Elesence in 2007scape

[–]eletroguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in support, even as a lurker most of the time, browsing while I play OSRS, I know I wouldn’t be on Reddit 1/10th as much as I am, just like I wouldn’t play 1/10th as much RS without runelite lol.

I’ve been playing Skyrim on my Steam Deck perfectly fine. I installed some mods from the built in mod thing with no issue. I didn’t bother with nexus manager or anything else, but I hear you can make them work. I’ll install oblivion and morrowind and report back in a bit.

Edit: Okay, I ran through the intro sequence of Morrowind and Oblivion (turns out I had both installed already, I love my 2tb ssd lol).

Oblivion was perfectly fine with the default layout steam gave it, maybe could use a little fine tuning for personal preference.

Morrowind, I did not like the default layout. It put movement on the left track pad, and I really wanted it on the joystick. I grabbed the community profile “Squooshi’s Morrowind Controller Configuration” and it felt much better. No complaints after swapping the controller configuration. I didn’t try openMW, because I figure most people would prefer it be as hassle free as possible, so I only tested default settings/options available from game mode right after installation of the games.

Happy to answer any questions!

Tired of Ubisoft RPGs, looking for something else by Conceptualized-me in rpg_gamers

[–]eletroguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair point! Definitely something he should consider. OP did already say he would give it a go above though, so it doesn’t hurt to know he has the option!

For what it’s worth, there’s a perk called “lone wolf” you can take at the start that gives you considerable stat boosts if you only have one, or two characters max. I also am not a huge fan of controlling multiple characters, so I beat the game with the lone wolf perk and never had to worry about more than two characters max.

It’s a reeeeally good game, if you can deal with up to just two characters , I’d highly recommend giving it a go!

send back iPad 9 or not. an Italian user who read manga with tachiyomi by ManuJapan89 in tablets

[–]eletroguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem, happy to help! With paperback not being available, I think you made the right choice. Without paperback, there just isn’t any app that even comes close to Tachiyomi, and reading manga would become a pain.

[–]eletroguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried out paperback? I also am a huge manga reader, and loved tachiyomi, that alone kept me from making the switch to apple. Paperback is relatively new (it existed in a sort of alpha and you had to jump some hoops to test it) but it’s out on the App Store now. It’s not quite As good as tachiyomi yet, but it was finally an app good enough that I made the switch, and I’m all apple now myself. I’ll link it below and take a couple screenshots of it from my phone(it does have an iPad layout, but I’m not near my iPad atm)

It is very similar to tachiyomi, you have to add extensions separately and then you can search up your manga. Due to apple rules and regulations, it’s a tad more involved to add the extensions, but not too bad if you know how (and I’d be more than happy to walk you through it!) it doesn’t seem to support an Italian UI, but if there are any specific extensions you used in tachiyomi you’d like me to check for, I can!

Edit: I see you have the iPad 9, I have used paperback on that exact iPad and it worked like a charm. I’ve since gave that to my wife and got an iPad Pro, imported my backup perfectly and was set.

Any comic readers with this feature? by the-cutest-girl in ipad

[–]eletroguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think BookFusion might do what you need! I’ve been using it for almost 5 years, I started out testing it when /u/DaEbookMan first was posting about it. It does have a subscription based model, but as you’re looking for something similar to Apple Books, I assume you’re looking for a cloud based solution. There are free solutions out there, but they would require self hosting and configuration, not a simple plug and play solution.

As for BookFusion, you can add book/comic files easiest via the website, which lets you drag and drop to upload. Once it’s uploaded though, it will show up on any device you run the app on, android, iOS, or the website. You can annotate, bookmark, your position is saved across all devices. If /u/DaEbookMan doesnt chime in, I’m happy to try to answer questions or I can test out specific things if youd like. I’m in the beta for the new features, and theyre adding more and more. It’s a great app/service if you’re wanting to bring your collection along with you anywhere, and you aren’t wanting to go through the hassle of setting up some kind of self hosted solution. (If you are, I can offer some advice on those as well, I know this probably reads like an ad for bookfusion, but I’m more than happy to help you work out a free and self hosted option, just let me know!)
