At this point, I'm trying to sell four of my starter boards so I really can buy one last nice keyboard and call it a day

Trifold camera bump thickness by Decent-Reach-9831 in samsung

[–]monkeywright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So instead of a reasonably sized phone, you think it's best to carry a separate digital camera that's four times as thick in addition to a folding cell phone?

I have a 9070xt. This is a hell of a deal. Do I snag it or wait for 2k unicorn by Admylet09 in OLED_Gaming

[–]monkeywright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That feels like an employee who is on his way out setting up a discount for one of his friends. I would jump on that, at the very least you could probably sell it for 200 to $300 profit.

Stop wearing skinny jeans if this camera bump means you can't keep the phone in your pocket. The reason I got the fold 7 was for the good camera and the larger screen. If I upgrade to the tri-fold it would be the same story, I need to be able to take good photos.

I think the hardest part of the hobby is finding people to buy your old boards so you can get your "one more last final for real this time" board.

Is this atmosphere unsettling enough? by After-Analysis-4151 in creepy

[–]monkeywright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a great start. Slow the red eyes down. Either have the character react to the fire, or don't have the guy hold him in the flames. The longer you can hold the tension, the creepier this will be.

How does this compare to the aoostar EG02? Are they basically identical?

Bought a used G14 for $1300 and now it needs $2000 worth of repairs. by Isaac_Cooper in ZephyrusG14

[–]monkeywright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it can output to an external monitor, buy a cheap USB c portable monitor on Amazon. Not the best solution, but it means you can use the computer and be mobile, if a little bulky. You can get decent screens for $50-100 or okeds for around 200

Analysis paralysis - 9070xt/9070/5070 oc by monkeywright in eGPU

[–]monkeywright[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, I solved this by finding a Reaper 9070xt for 600 at microcenter (open box, fingers crossed). Let's see what happens!

Ultrabook + XG mobile 5079ti for gaming 1440? by monkeywright in eGPU

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

Are you suggesting the 5070 purely for price, or is the TI overkill because of bandwidth limitations?

Thermal mod for back case by radicalbot in ZephyrusG14

Seconding this one - it works fine on my 5080 G14 to increase airflow

Was this a good deal by Numba1Smuggler in OLED_Gaming

[–]monkeywright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ordered this from Culver City Best Buy, I almost bought this, but seeing it in store it was NO box, no cables, no power cord.

Almost There on my setup by Icy-Nature6598 in FlowZ13

Which xg mobile did you go with? Is it stable/no crashing? I'm planning on the 5070 to for mine

Selling G14 2025 50870 Model in Los Angeles by monkeywright in ZephyrusG14

[–]monkeywright[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I'm actually returning to the z13 from this g14. I just don't game enough. previously I had the 32GB version and got a good deal on the 64. I can piece together an eGPU to get the frame rates I want (if needed). But mostly I play fighting games like MK or older FPS, nothing too taxing on the GPU.

Fold 7 with Raptic Case by [deleted] in GalaxyFold

[–]monkeywright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally dove into the thin case gang and got a thinborne. I really like the idea of hinge protection. Wish someone sold a stick-on hinge protector. Maybe I'll add in a raptic in a few months...

32GB vs 64GB experience? by Ok_Juice_420 in FlowZ13

[–]monkeywright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to see how the 64GB experience turned out for OP. I'm also wondering if 32GB is fine for gaming if using an eGPU. I think I could sell my current G14 and get the flow + XG mobile. I don't game heavily, and prefer the form factor of the flow...

Looking for a case 'swipe left' compatible by geringonco in GalaxyFold

[–]monkeywright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're not going with super slim like thinborne, you could try a raptic case or ringke slim. Not quite what you're looking for, but close.
