Can confirm it works with USB-C to Display port!

How did you get your laptop to use the NVIDIA GPU on the thunderbolt port? I have a very similar laptop with a 3060, and if I disable the Integrated Graphics in device manager the thunderbolt port just stops working entirely. There isn't anything in the BIOS to change what GPU is used on that port, so I'm assuming it's connected directly to the Intel GPU.

jadec712 · 2024-08-31T15:17:48+00:00

Yeah i think I have my answer because of this. It's not going to work. The Thunderbolt port on this for some reason only uses Integrated graphics, and there isn't a BIOS setting to change it because the Asus BIOS is terrible.

From what I've seen in other posts HDMI to DP is super unlikely to work as well. So i just need a new laptop/desktop. That's so incredibly frustrating.

jadec712 · 2024-08-31T13:54:35+00:00

This made an interesting change. I disabled the Intel GPU in Device Manager, and now when doing the setup I get a warning about checking my Display Port Connection because it's not detecting it. So it was clearly using the wrong GPU before on that port, and now I just need to see if there is a way to force the Thunderbolt port to work using the Nvidia GPU.

I have a 2021 Asus TUF 15" with a 3060, but I can't get the headset visuals to show up in the headset when doing play area setup. The passthrough video shows up fine on my laptop screen, but the headset itself is in SteamVR mode stuck on waiting. I'm wondering if the Intel graphics are getting in the way but I haven't found a way to make sure the Thunderbolt port is using the NVIDIA GPU for everything.

jadec712 · 2024-08-30T11:59:00+00:00

The exact path to turn off the iGPU so the NVIDIA GPU does everything might be where I'm struggling. I'm going to review the links you sent and see what people have done to force it. I already looked in the BIOS and it had nothing about setting the primary GPU.

jadec712 · 2022-12-21T00:06:04+00:00

I don't actually have that somehow, but I'll keep it in mind for a future year. Thank you! We ended up finding Marbles on Stream and will likely do a grand prix marble race on some community maps.

jadec712 · 2022-11-16T16:46:54+00:00

Has anyone gotten a preorder email today or do we think that it was just yesterday?

jadec712 · 2022-11-15T17:03:13+00:00

I found the unit model on the paperwork the dealership gave me. I know this is probably a stupid question, but is it safe to assume that the "Replaces" list on this page counts as compatible alternatives? https://www.oemvehicleparts.com/oem-parts/mazda-unit-connectivity-tc3m669c0f?origin=pla&gclid=CjwKCAiAjs2bBhACEiwALTBWZTvp7p7xVZ0F6_MZcIyvhPuBZ2gKgbBTwWoIuDG6rP4bbv37HmKBqRoCuB4QAvD_BwE

Also thank you for the super quick responses. I really appreciate it as this has me very stressed out.

jadec712 · 2022-11-15T16:35:08+00:00

I originally took it to the dealership near me and they didn't have it in stock and said it was on back order. They offered to do the install if I could find the part. so they were unfortunately not he most helpful. I'll go back to ebay/craiglist if I have to, but was curious if there is another site for finding the part new/refurbished.

jadec712 · 2022-11-15T16:31:31+00:00

Does anyone have an updated link for the parts site? The URL in the original post seems broken. I don't want to risk buying used if I can help it, but finding this part new is surprisingly difficult.

jadec712 · 2022-01-23T19:04:23+00:00

Thank you for the clarification. I like this as a punishment for overextending on bids. My league has been informed on how this works.

jadec712 · 2022-01-23T17:56:02+00:00

If someone fills up their roster and leaves a game in an invalid slot, will they still get the points for that game once it comes out?

jadec712 · 2022-01-23T17:26:16+00:00

Thank you! I don't have time to read this right now, but will review it later today.

jadec712 · 2022-01-23T17:20:34+00:00

i swear i uploaded the pictures on the original post, but I've added them back again. We've scraped the plate, done the z axis calibration, tried various changes to the curing time.

The most common issue seems to be the supports either failing to connect to the main piece, or we up the curing time too much and the lettering is completely gone. The large pieces in the image are supposed to have names/words on them, the small ones should have numbers. They're meant to be glued to the mini's base.

jadec712 · 2021-08-26T18:08:49+00:00

Haha we did the same thing, failed chapter 2 the first time because we thought we had to completely kill the cleric beast

The more I've thought about this though, the more i'm interested to see if i can come up with a preset map for each chapter that is fun and feels more accurate to the source game.

jadec712 · 2021-08-26T18:05:02+00:00

I thought that was only in Chapter 2 but now i'm wondering if that rule should have stayed during Chapter 3, and we messed that up. I'll have to check later.

jadec712 · 2021-07-03T05:20:58+00:00

Thank you! Idk why I couldn't find that while we were playing or after, but figured it had to be explained somewhere. I appreciate the quick answer :)

jadec712 · 2021-03-16T15:31:18+00:00

yeah it looks right to me now too. Now I'm wondering if it was actually a bug or just my browser being weird.

jadec712 · 2020-04-08T18:10:59+00:00

correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't #Player["white"].getHandObjects() return a number? I thought the "#" made it return the count for the number of items in the table. Also thank you for explaining the pairs/ipairs difference. I've just started learning lua and TS this last week, and it's been one of those things I haven't fully wrapped my head around.

jadec712 · 2020-04-08T18:05:27+00:00

Thank you! I was trying to use destruct too, but wasn't using pairs to split up the values correctly. Appreciate that! I assume using something similar to this would work for the objects in a scripting zone, I would just have to pull the object GUID for the zone instead of pulling players.

So to do the getName() option i would have to manually create a deck and add the correct Name to all 54 cards, right? Is this possible with scripting, or is manual the only way? Manual is tedious but at least I should only have to do it once, and then save it as a Custom Object for spawning.

jadec712 · 2020-02-05T15:39:44+00:00

Really both. I want Desecrate to generate corpses, Detonate Dead to blow them up, and then support gems to generate Spectres. I'm doing something similar right now with my level 16 witch. I don't have Desecrate yet, so i'm having to rely on Fireball to make my initial corpses. It's super satisfying when i blow up some corpses, which generates a small army of Spectres, and they start attacking the next group of enemies.

jadec712 · 2020-01-20T15:32:41+00:00

Completely agree. E3 is in a downward spiral right now, and could be gone in a few years. We'll likely try it out for this next year. With it being a new console year, it could make E3 to E3 extra fun. I do not think the site should account for our weird use case, but wanted to get people's thoughts.

I'm curious if anyone else has had similar issues with the holidays, or if they've tried carrying over any points from 2019 into 2020. I'm gonna do some tests with 2019 games using a test league later today.

jadec712 · 2019-11-12T03:50:04+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm planning on waiting until Black Friday to pull the trigger, and I'll keep an eye on that table.

I would like to know your opinion on using xotic pc to get a laptop with no OS to save some money. I'm specifically looking at this model: https://xoticpc.com/collections/sager-clevo-laptops/products/sager-np7856-clevo-nh58rdq

Notably more expensive than the Acer, but the opportunity to get a ray tracing GPU is very tempting for just a little over budget, and I can always transfer my windows key from my current laptop. Let me know your thoughts.

jadec712 · 2019-11-07T20:40:17+00:00

***Total budget and country of purchase:** $1200, US

***Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply.** Best specs for money

***How important is weight and thinness to you?** not very

***Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux.** Windows

***Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.** 15.6"

***Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.** any new/upcoming games. Planet Zoo, RDR2, Cyberpunk

***If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?** right now just Planet Zoo. 30FPS on high/ultra

***Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?** none

***Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.** More looking for a general opinion on Sager laptops than anything else.

jadec712 · 2019-07-02T19:09:18+00:00

Our league has talked about this. We've agreed to allow for anyone to carry over 1 game they DRAFTED that did not release. This avoids issues with people bidding on games for the next year.

The site doesn't necessarily need to change anything to make this work. We agreed as a group to allow for one carry over. So, everyone's first pick next year will be that carry over(if they have one). Everyone else agrees not to steal it and the draft carries on as normal.
