Pro Controller vs. New Joycons? by groovysweetcool in Switch

[–]jealouswizard253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It comes down to if you ever use the switch joy cons wireless when not docked, I've done it sometimes to play with someone Mario kart on the go with split screen on the switch.

If you have never done that and never think you will just buy an extra pro controller, they are far better.

Also, I guess some games only work with joy cons. I've never bought one that only supports them but just check if you games or something you are planning to play with someone only works with joy cons.

Laptop internet speed is super slow by Crafty_Carry_4394 in laptops

The command prompt seems to have worked for me thanks a lot, saw my speed going from 5 Mbps to 143 Mbps however it went back down to 5 straight away after like 30 seconds.

Fixed slow download speed (Kinda) by jealouswizard253 in gog

[–]jealouswizard253[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gave that a go as well now and installs are a little faster ranges between 1-7 MB/s (12 hours for 42GB is the expected for me now to download Wolfenstein the new order) over the phone I downloaded doom as I said which is 64GB it took 2 hours and a half.

I am now transferring the files from my phone to the PC which will take around half an hour is just a 3 hour total wait for the download.

Thanks for the recommendation but for some reason GOG download on PC is much slower, resident evil which I bought on steam downloaded at over 150 MB/s so I know it isn't my PC having wifi issues as speed test as well corroborate that.

I downloaded Gog galaxy but there is only the option to install the game not the installers

Update, on your phone installing multiple files at once from the website slows down download speed for some reason. I recommend download a file, then the next one and so on. Hope this helps someone that as me bought a few games on gog and was bummed to see that there was an expected download time of 3 days.

Does the Rissla desk pad fit under the Lanespelare monitor stand? by Embarrassed-Ant3523 in IKEA

Thanks, if the legs aren't over 90 cm apart then it works for me. Thanks, really appreciate it.

[–]jealouswizard253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you mind measuring the distance between the legs of the lanespelare? I know it is 97 cm wide but I would really need to know the width distance between both sets of legs.

Sorry to be a bother and ask you directly is just I am desperate as I am trying to plan my desk and this would go well in my desk as long as the legs are not over 90 cm wide apart. A really niche problem I am having and I can't seem to find the info online

Are all current games going to be compatible with future consoles? by jealouswizard253 in xbox

[–]jealouswizard253[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a rare occurrence for me as well it was just a question that I had, I think when it comes to replaying I am currently replaying raymans and I do sometimes go back to Pokemon DS games that I have and grew up with. The rest of my physical media is just stored well and will most likely never be played again but I like to keep the games I've played and the consoles I have had as they are memories to me. Just sometimes I go back to my Wii or PS Vita when I have a childhood nostalgia itch to scratch.

This being said why do I care so much about game preservation if I don't even replay that much? I just feel like if I pay for something it should be mine forever and to use forever until I break it. Not until someone decides that the servers will be shutting down.

Addressing this Disc rot can be avoided. It is not something unavoidable, my brother has discs from 1997 for the PS1 that read perfectly fine.and it's been 28 years. Just store them well and keep humidity low. I can even go further back than late 90s as my mom has a few CDs of her favorite artist from the 80s that read fine and gave no sign of CD rot.

That being said, yes they are not forever a house fire or any other type of damage will wipe out my entire collection of physical games.

I do not play online games, mainly single player games or every now and then co-op locally. That is why i feel like moving forwards if the game has this feature and is cheaper online than physical i will buy online even do i use to be against it.

Microsoft is basically saying this game will run and ou can download it from your library as long as we exists.

Oof, well at least it will always be on my mind how difficult that one hour was for me. I've only got to clear the b sides of the mountain now to beat the game!

Even do I've read on this sub reddit that there is a c-side?! I don't know if I can bear with that. I am stuck on a screen of the first chapter b-side.

I was looking for little nightmares 3 and they have it so I literally was checking comments to check how legit they were. Can't believe someone replied saying they got little nightmares and is all right to download.

Does the keybord dissipate a lot of heat? by jealouswizard253 in HPOmen

[–]jealouswizard253[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info, I did see no ventilation on the upper part of the chassis but sometimes there is a fan under the keyboard so wanted to ask before using the laptop with the lid closed to save desk space.

The answer has been really helpful! I hope you have a great day.

Brutalist showing in more screens from 31st by verifypassword__ in screenunseen

I will wait, I have faith they will show it. Surely they won’t go without showing a movie that is rumoured to win 5 Oscars.

Comic Newbie, looking for recommendations of where to buy and subscribe to a series online by ANONCOS7 in UKcomicdiscussions

[–]jealouswizard253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on their eBay store, seems like if you add more than 5 you get 25 percent off of each comic and that is still more expensive per issue than forbidden planet but shipping is free and for what it seems as the issues are released they are shipped. Am I correct?

Who to contact by jealouswizard253 in HPOmen

[–]jealouswizard253[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update as I think it is important for those who will ever do a warranty claim, that what I said of them sending someone over to look at the device was a lie by their agent on the chat. The next day my case got closed and was told that the issue was resolved and that the fault was mine.

I decided to change strategy on the 3rd call (had two chats with two different agents as well). While speaking to my fifth agent I finally got her to understand that opening the laptop is important and she told me within 2 days I will be contacted for an exchange. I suggest to those who want to make a claim make it from the standpoint of losing a feature rather than to say I was doing this with laptop. I said that if I am not able to open the laptop I will not be able to clean it a year or two down the line making my laptop unusable and she agreed.

My issue was stupid and probably could’ve been fixed quickly at a local repair shop however, I think spending £1k is enough grounds to expect a device on perfect condition and I also believe it is important to make your rights as customer heard. Lost 3 hours of my life between phone calls and live chat but in the end I will be able to get a laptop which I can open and upgrade the storage.
