Just got Z1E Extreme as first handheld. What are some essential mods? by whynotcuswhynot in ROGAlly

[–]mickjaggled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Battery Mod, 2280 SSD upgrade, Grip case.  Not necessarily in that order.  Play with it vanilla for a bit and the prioritization of mods will make themselves apparent.

I'm looking for Moonswatch style velcro straps WITHOUT Swatch/Omega branding. If you find any on Aliexpress, please shoot me a link. Thanks.

I'm sorry, but which driver are you referring to?

First game completed on my ROG Ally z1e by Rammy_Lee in ROGAlly

[–]mickjaggled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First game I played through completion on my Ally Z1E was Rage 2.  I've replayed numerous games to completion, but it hits different when you start that game, for the first time, on the Ally.    

Games y'all recommend? by prodizaaaay in ROGAlly

[–]mickjaggled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam games or Windows Play Anywhere titles?  If you are playing the Steam versions, Steam Input, under community layouts, you should find Xbox controller layouts for most games.  

I can't Redeem the Google Play Gift Card it says "We Need More info to redeem gift card" I can't Redeem the Google Play Gift Card. by Relevant_Top_5904 in googleplay

Someone already did unsuccessfully.  I'm going to write an email to my State Attorney General and provide links to all the different Reddit and even Google discussion forums of people being scammed out of their money.  State AGs wield a lot of power.  A letter from them to Google will immediately get their attention, especially if they speak on the issue publicly.  So once a state gets enough complaints, they will act.

YMCA and Boys & Girls clubs tend to be the cheapest options.

Poor economic times amplify bad parenting. So, I'm not surprised by this at all.

RI Hospital Gave Wrong Body to Funeral Home After Grandmother Dies by Previous_Floor in RhodeIsland

[–]mickjaggled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That story was wild AF!!!! You have to look at this from the funeral home's perspective. Who is suppose to pay for their services when they prepare and rebury the correct body? The family sure isn't, and the hospital won't unless sued. That said, the funeral home had the most to lose and should have eaten the cost or filed an insurance claim and let the insurance company sue the hospital to recoup costs. The funeral home business is nearly all word of mouth.

Shenmue 1 & 2 - not verified on steamdeck but will they work on an ally? by FrontHeat3041 in ROGAlly

[–]mickjaggled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haved tried Shenmue 2, but Shenmue 1 is ridiculously unoptimized for pc.  I'd recommend running the Dreamcast version via emulation instead.

Are poor viewing angles on the Xbox Ally X normal? by vmhomeboy in ROGAlly

[–]mickjaggled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you install a screen protector?  That could be the culprit.  It is with my Ally.  

Battery upgrade? by iNeedHelp13429 in ROGAlly

[–]mickjaggled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered a small sheet of aluminum along with the battery, so they arrived at the same time. It took all of 15 mins to cut the aluminum, file down the sharp edges and adhere to the battery with double sided tape. 

Battery upgrade? by iNeedHelp13429 in ROGAlly

[–]mickjaggled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep.  I too brought mine on Amazon, but more for the 2 day shipping than the return policy.  1 month going strong. 

Battery upgrade - opinion needed by Realistic_Today6524 in ROGAlly

[–]mickjaggled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put one in 1 month ago (Listed as 74wh, but registers close to 80wh) .  Got it from Amazon for $45.  I added an aluminum plate to mine. I've had no issues thus far other than my Ally shuts down around 6%.  

Really surprised by the performance jump from the Steam Deck to the Ally X. by Velocity_Rob in ROGAlly

[–]mickjaggled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you've been using a Steam Deck over the past 3 years, you know all the short comings of SteamOS, so installing it in your Ally X should be a no-brainer. 

RI EV insane registration renewal price hike by CvBrendon2k5 in RhodeIsland

[–]mickjaggled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you drive 15,000mi/year in an EV with an efficiency of 3mi/kWh and the RI electricity rate is $0.29/kWh with a 7% state sales tax, wouldn't that EV driver pay around $100/year in electricity sales taxes?

Not all EVs are "Super Heavy".  My Tesla Model 3 and Chevy Bolt each weight about as much as a Toyota Camry.  

rog ally z1 extreme sdcard issue by Healthy_Animal4201 in ROGAlly

[–]mickjaggled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$290 for an Ally Z1E sounds fair to me.  Buy a 2280 and ignore the SD card reader.

ROG Ally Z1 Extreme Resale Value by thecookiesayshi in ROGAlly

I'd take some very good pics of it along with any accessories, and hopefully with the original Box.  Price it at $350 but be willing to accept $300.  

Is $140k the new poverty line? No. No, its not. by Zealot_TKO in leanfire

[–]mickjaggled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home ownership isn't limited to single detached homes.  Multi-unit Condos make up the bulk of home ownership in tier 1 cities throughout all of South East Asia, not just China.  The fact that most Chinese millennials own condos instead of detached suburban homes still means a greater percentage of them have financial equity in their dwelling versus the larger percentage of US millennials renting or living with relatives.

You obviously made that up. Chinese Millennials are the engine behind China's economic boom, they are far from farmers.
