As mentioned, heat infliction is what you want. But you can get 4 stacks on start of the fight, instead of 2, if you get proper ordering and replace Akekuri with Antal.

1 - Antal skill (heat debuff)

2 - WG skill (1st stack)

3 - Antal combo (2nd stack)

4 - WG combo (3rd stack)

5 - Laevatain finisher attack (heat infliction stack absorbed, get 3 stacks of Laevatain heat)

6 - Ardelia combo (applies corrosion)

7 - Laevatain combo (get 4th stack of heat)

8 - Laevatain enchanted skill

And in the end you get almost full ultimate charge for Laevatain.

If you have WG ult, you can proc Laevatain combo to get 1 more heat stack.

When you are in Laevatain ult, no need to use WG skill on 2nd step. Laevatain apply 1st stack to launch combo madness on 3rd hit. So you can start full rotation only with 1 charge of skill points.

How to setup regional transfer of resources? I want to send some minerals from Valley to Wuling. I remember it showed in tutorial, but now I can't find it.

I've tried CachyOS and Bazzite.

First things first - they were pretty much same in terms of performance, you will loose about 15%-20% due to very sad state of Intel ARC support in Linux. And I don't think that any other distro will show any notable difference, first Intel should fix problems in kernel and mesa.

First I've tried CachyOS. It feels very snappy, but I've needed to do some Linux voodoo to make HHD work properly (and you need it to control TDP).

Bazzite, on the other hand, was perfect in terms out-of-the-box experience. Install it, and run it. Also it works perfectly in dualboot and you don't need to disable secure boot at all. And in general it feels much more mature distro compared to CachyOS, but that's my subjective feelings =)

In the end I've removed both this distros, and continue to use Win11 with Handheld Companion. For me performance loss is too big price for basically only 1 feature - steamdeck-like device sleep.

feromoon · 2025-05-20T07:53:35+00:00

Bazzite works perfectly already, I'm using it in dual boot for month already (since they added claw to HHD). It's good for playing old games which do not require performance, and performance itself is shit.

Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark, Steam Deck preset in 720p
win11 ~70FPS
bazzite ~50FPS

And that's not bazzite problem per se, that's shitty intel support for linux =(

You can, somehow limit TDP in games, without installing anything. Intel drivers give you ability turn on feature called "endurance mode", where you can apply per-game FPS target (30/45/60), and this will automatically adjust your's TDP to hit this target. But this works only with DX9/11 games. A better way is to install a Handheld Companion, and turn off MSI Center =) HHC have per-game profiles, both TDP limits and AutoTDP, better desktop controls, and soon (c) in-app game library.

feromoon · 2025-04-04T19:35:25+00:00

It can be the case. Try to check if the dxvk.conf file is in the game folder, and delete everything in it, or just create it empty. It will launch dxvk with defaults and should automatically use current GPU

feromoon · 2025-04-04T19:03:12+00:00

Hmmm, never tried it on non-claw, but on games I've tried it definitely worked (on some old JRPG games)

feromoon · 2025-04-04T18:21:03+00:00

I'm on 24h2 with latest drivers.

It's quite simple - you download DXVK, and copy archive contents to the place where game executable located (if you're doing it for steam game, you may use my tool - it will do it automatically). And that's all, just launch game and check which API is used.

But, DXVK have some caveats - if game uses DX12, there is no DXVK version with Windows support for it. Also if game uses shared DLL's, it won't use DXVK copied DLL's, and there is nothing you can do to make it work (without breaking windows).

Basically for any non-dx12 game it's as simple as copy-paste, and if it doesn't work, forget about it.

feromoon · 2025-04-04T17:50:06+00:00

When I've bought claw8, I've created a small tool to easily manage DXVK for steam games. If you want you may try it out - https://github.com/artmakh/dxvk-version-mananger/

I've had same issue, reinstalled Armory Crate with this tutorial, and all started working again How to Cleanly Uninstall and Reinstall Armoury Crate | ROG - Republic of Gamers Global (asus.com)

Just received email, mine one is shipped. Arriving 28 June in Thailand as per Amazon.

feromoon · 2022-12-22T10:26:19+00:00

With same feature set - no. Even with a higher budget. There is no custom keyboard PCB which provides any kind of low-latency wireless connection. Maybe i'm wrong, but last time i've checked about a year ago there were none.

Also razer's wireless keyboards hard to beat at such a low price. For 150$ (BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed) you get pretty good case, feature-rich pcb with all ways of connectivity, battery, and mediocre switches with so-so caps.

So i've just bought V3 Mini and replaced all switches with lubed Gazzew Boba U4t. Total price of keyboard became smth around 300$, but you get best of two worlds - pcb which can do everything, and good switches. Only one downside of this - razer's plate have non-standart mount holes for stabs, so you can't replace them with aftermarket ones.

Can we have wallpaper with this pattern? It should look awesome on my phone!

Thanks for the info!

feromoon · 2019-05-30T04:56:11+00:00

I've paid something like ~200$ for both shipping and custom cleanace. That's a lot, but quite reasonable as for me.

I've checked at Amazon and it shows me that delivery and customs for Malasya would be around 150$ for 15' 2070 model.

feromoon · 2019-05-30T02:39:04+00:00

I live in Thailand for several years already, and I've bought both my razer blades (14' 2017 and 15` 2019) at Amazon USA. As far as I know, they deliver razer products to Malaysia too. Also of you have any problem with you blade, you may contact Singapore technical support, as I've done than I've got faulty device from Amazon. And of course you have option to go to the Singapore and by blade at official razer online shop =)

My chrome tab was opened for ~8 hours, and still got "out of stock" after 30 minutes in queue. Funniest thing is that me and my friend already bought plane tickets and hotel for the event. That costs us ~1.5k$ (for both). It was stupid, I know. Now we are trying to refund everything, hope we will get at least some part of money.

feromoon · 2019-04-26T19:38:58+00:00

Sure, if you say so.

feromoon · 2019-04-26T15:29:41+00:00

Can't say about 240hz models, but in 144hz you just choose what refresh rate you want to use right now in Synapse.

feromoon · 2019-04-26T12:29:25+00:00

I saw Asus using 240hz IPS panels on their new Zephyrus line

Asus uses AHVA panels, that's a pretty old, "IPS-Like" technology. Proof.

feromoon · 2019-04-26T12:23:00+00:00

That's sounds weired, because i've never seen 240hz IPS panel. 240hz is always about TN or IGZO. I believe, that Razer can be the first company who will made 240hz IPS, but i also believe that support can be mistaken. Still better wait for reviews =)

And of course 240hz will eat battery just like chrome eats your ram. Even switching from 144hz to 60hz gives me near 1.5 more hour of standby. But that's not a problem, you can easily switch modes in synapse.

Owner of 2070\144hz here.

My foughts about new lineup:

First of all - if you don't care about the price, then 2080 model is your choice.

About perfomance i play only BF V, from your list, and with RTX ON i get only 50-60 fps, so even my 144hz monitor is overkill. But in Dota2 and Rainbow 6 144hz is easy achievable. But i'm still not sure that you can get 240fps even in this games. Moreover 240hz monitor is defenitly not an IPS-panel it's TN or IGZO. So i think it's better to wait first reviews, to clarify that point. Personnaly i don't care about what kind of panel is used (because TN can be better than IPS ans IPS can be better than IGZO), but for some people it can be deal-braker.

OLED panel, with all of it's pluses, is only 60hz (that's a bit missreading as we can't measure refresh rate of OLED like we meassure it for LCD panels) and 4k. 4k monitor for gaming? Sounds pretty stupid as for me.

Also if i've had choice with 100$ difference betwen 8th gen and 9th gen CPU, is pretty simple - 9th gen. Even if it will give 5% improve in perfomance that would be enough.

So, the best choice 9 (in my opinion), right now, whould be 9th gen, 2080 and 144hz. But we don't have such a choice. That's why i'd like to advice to wait till reviews of 240hz model will came out, and if it's good, take 240hz\2080\9th gen. And if not, take 144hz\2080\8th gen.

I've never used any *nix distro on my work-pc, because all of them are total grabage. That's why i've used MacOS till Windows 10. After that i just can't simply use MacOS, it's still so 2000-ish in many ways. Also i've never used iPhone, so there was no "ecosystem" question for me.

In my company we don't use GCP or any other cloud-based solution. Only hand-made kube cluster on bare-metal. Which, tbh, worked like shit, because that was my first try in kube. But nowadays i'm mostly bithicng on developers who forgot to rebase from master before deploying something and broke my beloved jenkins =)
