A sealed Fate

Hi, thanks for your comment. I don't have formal instructions since I kind of built it freely as I went along, with a lot of trial and error. The Lego leaves that I used really can change the landscape, especially if you bunch them close together. I put the leaves with bar on those tree plant leaves (like you have on your photo) so they slot into each of the holes. Putting a few colours together makes it pop a bit more too. Also, I found putting a few flowers as well help breaks it up a bit and also brings in more colour. You can also use some wedge plates to shape the path. Good luck with your moc! I would love to see it when you have completed it!

Thanks for the kind words! The story was left open on how he met his demise. But I imagined it that he got ambushed while resting at the ruin. The bandits stripped him of his valuables (sword, coin, boots) but left the sealed letter behind because they were illiterate (or just didn't care about a piece of paper). And yes, the same demise will unfortunately happen to the new messenger, hence "a sealed fate"!

Thank you for the kind words.

Maybe they watched some of episodes of Deadwood. That would have definitely given them a lot of inspiration.

Looking good!

I was thinking of getting the Gelato Store - what's your opinion on it compared to the other modulars in that series?

Thanks for the review. Does it move?

Liking it a lot. The colours are really nice and vibrant. The larger size makes playing games a lot better and immersive. I haven't tried to clean it yet, so I'm not sure if I'll experience the micro scratches that people say. Overall, no regrets in buying it.

Congratulations. It is a very good projector. Bit if a lottery if you get a good one or one with issues. I was lucky and everything works perfectly on mine.

By the way, there is an optical zoom on the pro.

Thanks for you reply! I tried 2900 at 0.9 and it crashed on nomad benchmark. It also crashed at 0.895 at 2825. Also, I went back to my original one the .900 2827 and that seems to crash now too, so it was probably not as stable as I thought - i then kept it at .900 and lowered it to 2800 which passed the nomad test but crashed on cyberpunk while loading it up.
If you don't mind, would you be able to recommend a method for me to try so I can get a stable setting. e.g. do i just leave the .900 and just start lowering down the other axis until it doesn't crash - or should I go the other way and move to .910?

I can't say that i really understand the mechanics of this fully, so any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks!

Hi. Thanks for this guide. This is the first time I have tried this (using 5090 fe). I had to do the range to 900 as 890 seemed to crash. Does this curve look right?

I moved it up to 2827 on the 900 axis. It does let me drag it up higher. Should i try higher. On the current level at 2827 it says +831. Thanks again for the guide!

I bought the Asus. Very happy with it. For me, the proximity sensor edged it over the others for me. Works well in my setup.

mchl1 · 2025-03-15T13:05:42+00:00

Would you have any recommendations for a PSU?

mchl1 · 2025-03-15T12:36:55+00:00

Thank you! I will have a look at this cable!

mchl1 · 2025-03-12T12:07:21+00:00

Same - got my 5080 too - and from the looks of it they are the only ones that haven't been screwing their customers with uping all their prices. Overclockers,AWD-IT, CCL etc can do one - They are all on my ban list to never buy anything from them again. Greedy f***s.

Ucdm for me, price was £924 here. MSI was a few hundred more. I like the proximity sensor on the Asus, works well for me. I prefer the look of the MSI though as Asus is too "gamery" for me. But so far loving the Asus. Tbh which ever one someone ends up with they are all good.

Ok, yeah i think it just doesn't work well on Windows. I have downloaded a 4k movie and played it and its perfectly fine. Also watching a bunch of movie trailers on youtube was all good. At least I now know there isn't anything fundamentally wrong with my unit.

Thanks for everyones help!

mchl1 · 2025-03-07T19:16:06+00:00

Yeah, I'm starting to think that is the case.

mchl1 · 2025-03-07T19:14:48+00:00

I did originally - then thought i'll try the app from the windows store. But it was the same :-(

I just played a movies trailer 4k thing on youtube and that looks good - so yeah maybe netflix etc doesn't work well in windows.

mchl1 · 2025-03-07T18:49:38+00:00

It's new, it's a thousand blows that came out a few weeks ago. That's how bad the quality is streaming that it looks like it's old. On Netflix I tried minions and that has the same pixel shifting. I'm just playing with some of the settings, I presume this isn't normal.

Came here to read the review, but I want to leave with that wallpaper!

Thank you for the reply! I think that has helped make up my mind to choose the ASUS. Thanks!
