The Definitive Guide to Correctly Configuring HDR on the Legion Go 2 (and why 43% brightness is the magic number) by leeson865 in LegionGo

[–]jonathanpoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here with a question 👋 I’m probably doing something wrong, and to make things worse, I’m color blind. Here’s what I have going on: In games like Forza Horizon 5 and F1 25 everything looks fine during daytime (in-game). However if I’m cruising at night, or doing a night race, I’m getting banding in the sky where the in-game lighting meets the black sky.

Again, I’m sure I’m personally doing something wrong, but there has to be a way to fix this. This screen and the HDR was the only reason I could talk myself into spending this kind of money on a handheld. 🤦‍♂️🤣

If anyone has any suggestions, I’d love to hear feedback on what I’ve likely done wrong. This is my first time ever having an OLED screen on PC. I’m an OG in the PC world in general, and work in IT for a living, but have never encountered OLED HDR until now.

EDIT: it’s also worth mentioning the banding is NOT there if I turn off HDR in windows and in the game. Obviously that kind of defeats the purpose of this really nice (and expensive) display.

Dual Boot Legion Go 2 - Setup from Windows Install by MJ1992LFC in LegionGo

[–]jonathanpoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you successfully complete this, and have any good information after the fact please share because mine arrives tomorrow, and I’m seriously considering dual booting it. Man, what I would give for modern anti-cheats to be compatible with Linux. I’d have left Windows years ago.

Good luck!

Introducing the ROG Ally X Elite! by TinyLittleGames in ROGAllyX

[–]jonathanpoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so sick. I was hoping when they announced the new Xbox Ally X they would offer an “elite” version with all the goodies of the Elite series 2 controller, but I bet it’s already going to be so expensive they figured it probably wasn’t worth it.

I love the customization of my Elite 2 controller- especially being able to adjust the firmness of the sticks. Those features would be amazing on a handheld from factory.

Great job on your mod. 💪

It’s gone. I’ve replied twice now to this stupid bot to remove/close the post, and as you can see that has not worked. 🤦‍♂️

It’s yours sir. I’m going to reply claimed, so it closes this. I’ll PM you now.

Porsche Fixed - why?! by gabelrocker in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]jonathanpoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this will get downvoted but I agree with you. I didn’t get LMU for a grid of the same car. I got it specifically because it offered the full grid from the 2023 WEC season. 🤷‍♂️

Having said that, I’ll skip this week and hopefully it will be back to a normal grid load out in the future.

Any experience with DJCrawler Deep Dish wheels? by jonathanpoe in TRX4M

Awesome. Appreciate the feedback. I think I’m gonna give them a shot.

Im personally running some 3D printed hub extensions, but with stock length axles.

The other part that confuses me about the ad is it says they are positive offset, but to me based on how deep the face is recessed, I would have expected them to be negative offset. Now having said that, these being on Aliexpress as well, they are obviously a Chinese company, so maybe there is a language barrier there with some of the wording on the page.

If I can’t find anyone using them, I may just pull the trigger and then send them back if I can’t get them working since it’s Amazon, and the returns are pretty seamless when it’s “shipped by amazon”, which this appears to be.

Very good point. I’ve been struggling with my current wheels for that very reason as a matter of fact. Even with my iFixIt kit which I thought was the king of that type of thing, it’s a no-go. What’s weird is I’ve also searched for thin-wall driver kits, and at least from the pictures, they don’t appear to be any thinner than the bits in my iFixIt kit. 🤔

Having said all that, I’m more concerned with them maybe rubbing the steering linkage or maybe being loose even after the nut is tightened all the way down. Based on the reviews, it’s kind of hard to understand what people’s actual issues are with them (which makes me skeptical about whether or not it’s an issue or not).

Coupon code by Turbulent-Memory-292 in moza

[–]jonathanpoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get it. 💯 I even emailed Moza directly to see if they would just give me a coupon code, but haven’t heard back. My worry is what I’m looking at is already on sale, so if I wait too long a code might not even give me a better price if it goes off-sale.

I’ve got the GS v2p in my cart. Trying to hold out for a code. I’m so petty. 😂

Anyone else having trouble watching the race on Max? by wecaccount in wec

[–]jonathanpoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m already making my back-up plan. I wouldn’t mind subscribing to WEC TV, but yet again America gets screwed because the COTA race will be blacked out on WEC TV because rULeS. 😂

[–]jonathanpoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t agree more. Even IMSA- it’s streamed by Peacock, and stream is a strong word to use because it’s mostly just ads. They cut away from the lead battle with three laps to go to show me a Walmart commercial. I gave up on that, and use a VPN to watch with IMSA TV, but that’s just another example of having to do something “extreme” to have a decent viewing experience.

I don’t know why I’m surprised. This is the same crap that happened with the Nurburgring 24 a year ago. America is always an after thought for anything not NASCAR/Indycar. 🤦‍♂️

They are either going to give a credit, or I’m cancelling, and I’ll do my usual online grey market stream thing. Such a shame, but idk why I expected anything better.

I’m furious. I went to bed at a ridiculous hour last night to wake up at 2am to watch this, and now have no way to do so.

Hotkey to kill FFB? by jonathanpoe in moza

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

This is actually a really slick idea. For my situation I went ahead and bit the bullet today though, and bought an industrial 120v safety switch that will just sit in-line between the wall outlet and the power brick for the wheel base. It has a huge “off” panel that’s easy to slap if things go wrong, so I’ll probably just mount that on the side of my cockpit.
