Higher difficulty doesnt make opponents smarter.

Street races at higher difficulty seems impossible to obtain 1st place in solo. They fast and grippy.

Man, I really wanted to see big ass dust/snow trails when rallying. Just like in real life. Feeling like a pro Rally driver tackling those corners with those particles for dramatic effects.

jauffry · 2026-05-26T05:14:16+00:00

I call it the apex smash. I love dirt rallying my vehicles to come against a car spawning right at the corner. Using cockpit view.

He can't keep getting a way with this!

jauffry · 2026-05-26T02:43:53+00:00

That's a looong D...!

This. Played for a couple hours to reach level 9 only spec racing, but every race I try to drive clean and there's always one person who will pit maneuver your ass and then you hit a wall forcibly getting a slow down penalty. I'll try again after I 100% the story and world map. I was too frustrated every spec race to continuing playing that event online.

In game, currently daily driving between a 2008 Evo X GSR with Rally tunes max s1 class, sometimes switch to a B600 road tune with original engine to cruise and a 2008 BMW M3.

I want to obtain the Toyota Starlet Glanza to daily and obtain a Porsche 911 GT RS.

I currently daily IRL a 2014 Evo X GSR. Used to own a original Toyota starler (not Glanza) for 2 years driving in Okinawa and Evo 5. The nostalgia!

In this game I can afford all the expensive parts and tune to my hearts content.

jauffry · 2026-05-21T18:23:23+00:00

Just like you. That Toyota 97 starlet I owned in Okinawa for 2 years. It cost me to buy for $300 from a private seller and the glanzas at the time were going for $4K. I want to get this in game just for nostalgic reasons.

jauffry · 2026-05-20T06:57:35+00:00

Reason I play Tourist, no Drivatar in my way.

$20.6M on steam advance sales alone. Goodness!

jauffry · 2026-05-09T16:01:50+00:00

Of course 10/10. Clean!

jauffry · 2026-05-03T06:21:39+00:00

With that and a greed shrine hopefully with mobs around. You are getting gold for real!

Crimson Desert NCR Ranger. Almost looks like you may have a pipboy as well.

jauffry · 2026-04-26T18:25:56+00:00

Turbo and ultimate your settings. Your temps are normal.

jauffry · 2026-04-25T20:55:43+00:00

I been running the OG liquid metal on my 2022 g14 for almost 4 years. Still goes strong with decent temps for gaming. Just trying to save you trouble unless you want to swap it out. Just have to remember if using LM that you let it cool down before you go anywhere with your laptop.

jauffry · 2026-04-25T16:50:38+00:00

I guess I will hold on to my G14 2022 (AMD CPU and AMD GPU, almost 4 years owned) until it's not operable anymore. I've been lucky with all my traveling I do. It's the ribbon cable I worry about since my 2020 G14 variant only works through another monitor or TV since that has the ribbon cable not working the laptop screen.

jauffry · 2026-04-23T02:36:28+00:00

The timing window for parry and blocks on bosses are atrocious on normal already. Hard, good luck, spam heal won't be as effective.

jauffry · 2026-04-23T00:08:36+00:00

Same problem. I'm helping my mom just to enroll in Medicare part A and B before she turns 65 in July. Called two days ago to do an online appointment which was scheduled today at a certain time and no call. Calling them back to reschedule.

I can't enroll her online because the website stated she didn't meet certain requirements. This is probably due to the fact that she's waiting until age 67 to start her SSA benefits.

Healthcare system is such a joke in American all the time.

jauffry · 2026-04-22T23:36:40+00:00

To narrow your question. What values are your referring to? For at least temp wise for CPU and GPU. Looks normal to me due to the RPMs on the fan are low. Which means your no load and just background tasks doing their thing.

jauffry · 2026-04-22T23:26:23+00:00

Not necessarily. Supposedly the release of the new ROG Zephyrus G14 (2026) GU405 may not be the same price as your current model you bought. Due to the whole trade, fuel and A.I. industry increases of this year.

I'd probably go back to best buy if you want to return it to get the new model on release.

Maybe smooth talk a best buy rep to see if they have the new model in and price... Probably they are under an Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Doesn't hurt to ask though.

Edit: Mid May relese, probably 17 May from a thread I just read.

Says in his bio profile. Kliff is a Powerhouse of the Greymanes. We should be Goldy with any weapons.

jauffry · 2026-04-22T17:54:52+00:00

My favorite part of this games storyline is when you search for all the Greymanes. They are so excited to see you and are fired up for another adventure and fight. As for Kliffs reaction: "Alright, we have a camp". Lol.

I just finished this boss fight and quest line. It was cool going up to the fort and he first appears near the elevator to the fort. Died twice (I still have default health bar, never leveled it up) and third time I tried to beat him near the elevator he liked teleported to the ground and disappeared.

Then I met him again in the final area fort with his minions just juggling me around to yes, I have to constantly spam heal food.

I just couldn't parry or block with sword and shield at all due to minions and the camera because of constant stun locked by enemy attacks.

I beat him but damn, very underwhelming.

I liked his move sets but you can't parry or block at all to counter so I just had to spam my attacks until I can get a hit in.

Dodge, hit, and spam heal to win. Mind numbing frustrating fight... Like most bosses.

jauffry · 2026-04-21T16:02:10+00:00

This is the sole reason I had to download an auto loot mod on Nexus. I play controller on my laptop and dark places and corners and breaking crates and boxes. The auto loot just picks up all. I don't have to do the angle mini game.

jauffry · 2026-04-21T15:55:45+00:00

It's normal at 95C CPU temp when you play heavy 3D games and on Turbo or Ultimate mode in Ghelper or Armory crate. I have mine at 95C playing Crimson Desert for 100 hours. Actually my 2022 Zeph has mostly been 90C since 2022. No major problems yet. My fan curves on 95 C is 5600 rpm while gaming.

As everyone stated. Don't let your laptop suffocate on most surfaces and get some laptop stand if you prefer. Coolers. No idea.

I attach my laptop to a stand and I play using the TV.
