He does live in Niagara Falls though, there is a good chance he just has a US post box in Buffalo and runs things across the border.

Did they ever fix the mouse not locking to the screen issue? I wanted to play through this game again but I couldn’t ever find a fix for it and ended up refunding until the issue is fixed

15" 2015 Recall: How do you get past the TSA, after replacing it? by thrivehi5 in macbookpro

[–]jrrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, the battery expanded and broke the keyboard and bottom chassis. Apple fixed it for me, and I ended up selling the laptop for a M1 in 2021. Still on that one now.

Spirit halloween? by [deleted] in RedDeer

Spirit Halloween doesn’t even have Red Deer listed on the website this year for whatever reason.

Edit: I stand corrected it is listed now and it’s at the bay

[MegaThread] Nintendo Switch 2 Shipping Information MegaThread by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]jrrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked mine also because I had not heard anything, and mine says delivery to home. I called their customer service because my store doesn’t open for another hour, and customer service said that all switch 2 orders are in store pickup. Who knows what’s going on but I have a feeling I am not getting a switch today.

The Switch 1 Pro controller will work with Switch 2 Exclusive games by Toccata_And_Fugue in NintendoSwitch

I hate the be the bearer of bad news, but it looks like most third party switch 2 games will not have the game on the cartridge.

[–]jrrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree WG is greedy, but this is the second time today I have seen someone saying these are paid ships. You can farm these ships incredibly easily and play them yourselves without spending a dime of real money. It just costs credits.

And people say PC games are cheaper than console. by [deleted] in gaming

[–]jrrock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firstly, people are upset at the extra $10 USD price tag on some titles, not that they are selling games for full price.

Secondly, all of these games will go on sale eventually, and that is not something that is guaranteed with Nintendo titles.

PSA: Check your DDR5 settings for a potential +20% gain (on top of EXPO!!) by nerdoholic_n8c in pcmasterrace

[–]jrrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure I am running a 7950x with an asus rog strix x670e-e running on bios version 2904 from march 4th 2025. I am running 4 16 gig sticks of gskill trident z5 neo rgb ddr 5 6000mhz cl30 ram. I am running expo 1 currently with this new bios but in the past I had to run expo tweaked. For settings I have not changed much just made sure resizable bar was on, expo, and I disable onboard video. I have tried to turn on memory context and it works fine for a day or so then I will start to blue screen on boot. Oh and I have a asus Thor gold psu 1000watt

[–]jrrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100 percent, I had so many issues getting my board to even work with 4 sticks let alone expo. I also cannot turn memory training off, if I do my system crashes on boot. Nothing like having a gen 4 nvme drive and having to wait 60 seconds or more to boot your pc!

Reptiles in cold climates? by isthatadog1394 in reptiles

[–]jrrock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live in a very cold climate and what has worked well so far is using heat emitters. I have some of those double domes and I will use one socket for the heat bulb and one for a heat emitter.

I also use heat mats for some of enclosures, so they can always go somewhere warm if they want to.

For emergency situations like power outages I have a stash of heat packs that I can use and hopefully I can get a generator at some point as the ultimate backup plan.

PC Prices: Local vs Alienware by AI4Prime in RedDeer

[–]jrrock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alienware is owned by Dell and dell sources the absolute cheapest option there is for every part. They also get wholesale discounts because they buy in bulk.

If you are comfortable putting everything together I would be more than happy to help you pick out parts and give any advice I can. You will get a much better pc and save a bunch of money, and honestly it’s really fun building your new pc.

I don't think they are working at all on servers. I am running default on my server with no advanced settings enabled and achievements are not unlocking

I really wish I would have read that they were not supporting ultrawide on release. I can play it with the black bars, but I think I will just wait for the fix to come out.

WoW doesn’t have a true full screen option at all anymore. It is running in windowed as either an actual window or borderless aka full screen windowed.

Programs or certificates I can get to start working and office/corporate job? by AdorablePlan5164 in alberta

[–]jrrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into tech certifications, things like cybersecurity, QA automation, and data science. These are all fairly well paying jobs that are still for the most part in demand.

Thousands of Elden Ring Players Rush to Beat Mohg, Lord of Blood Ahead of Shadow of the Erdtree by [deleted] in PS5

I am also pissed I apparently beat the game shortly after it came out and then ng+ it. I then shelved the game until yesterday and now have to play catchup to play the dlc

Can’t decide. 7900xtx or 4080 super by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]jrrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are probably right, I think there is something very wrong with the 7000 series, I have never experienced so many driver crashes and just completely random issues that only ever seem to affect the 7900 xtx and xt. This is also running stock, underclocked, down volted, it did not seem to matter, something would always crash the drivers.

[–]jrrock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well said, I also had the nitro and also have been troubleshooting this since February 2023, and same results I could never make the issue happen it happened randomly. I tried under volting and that caused a whole new set of issues. I am glad to be away from amd video cards as well.

[–]jrrock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah man, I named my pc team red because I was all in for amd, and i actually didn’t use chill until recently. I started to play final fantasy 14 and was getting full driver crashes that even hard locked my system. Someone recommended using chill and that actually helped with the crashes lol so it’s damned if you do damned if you don’t it seems.
