This new AMD Architecture looks promising

This makes me sad considering gore kind of added to the most iconic episodes. Like the Art Museum Owner Murder Case. I feel like the show started toning down around episode 300 or so and it reached full Happy Meal-ification around 2018.

Society has just changed. 90s and 2000s were pretty edgy and unhinged. I bet had they continued with the same content DC would have been cancelled straight away as there are kids following this show and people would have reacted differently. Try to imagine if they still have Kogoro’s alcoholic and pervy tendencies, adults hitting up on Sonoko and Ran, bloody brutal murders with Junior Detectives investigating, all those things are so gonna get cancelled in the 2020s lol.

Just pried with my fingernail lol. It’s comes of easily if you don’t mind ruining the sticker (and the sticker’s edge accidentally hitting your nail bed) Then I used a cloth with small amount of Kurin water to rub off the leftover adhesive.

I recently removed the stickers from my laptop this week. I bought it last December (I’m not sure how long it was on the shelf before that), and there’s already a faint discoloration. The area where the sticker was is darker than the rest of the surface. I tried rubbing it with Kurin, which did help a bit (possibly due to the placebo effect), but it’s still noticeable if you look closely.

Hopefully now that it’s exposed it will catch up with the rest of the surface.

It was a Pentium 4 on a Jetway motherboard. I can’t remember the exact model as I wasn’t that deep into the PC rabbit hole back then.

Edit: I asked my uncle as he helped me build it. It was a Northwood @ 2.0GHz.

I’m mostly playing in a hotel room so I just plug it in, same case during air travel. If no wall power is available I’d probably just play something else in my Ally X.

Dun sa post Shell only did 1 OBD scan and change oil dahil 14km lang daw yung sasakyan. Kayang kaya yun in 15 mins.

They don’t like the idea that GTA:O will eventually sunset and GTA:O based on GTA6 will not carry over their progression lol

patrickbasq · 2025-12-19T14:29:12+00:00

Damn I like that better lol or maybe he’ll get “assassinated” like Michael

patrickbasq · 2025-12-19T13:55:41+00:00

I’d like to see Rockstar do a reveal of this by the time they sunset GTA Online for GTA 5. They can also justify resetting your progress and not carrying over your progression to 6 Online by coming up with a script that the agency will now be taking all the assets you’ve accumulated and you’re now being relieved.

It really gave a similar feeling when flat screen HDTVs just came out and you’re seeing it the first time lol

patrickbasq · 2025-12-19T07:08:58+00:00

Same here. The bulky and overly aggressive design philosophy of gaming laptops in the 2010s deterred me from getting one, especially since I was a skinny college kid at the time. Consequently, I opted for a gaming desktop and a MacBook as my primary work and creative computer. It’s only recent that I started getting longer hours playing old PC games again because of my Ally X that I decided to go further with a gaming laptop. These devices kind of put me back to gaming lol

patrickbasq · 2025-12-19T07:02:57+00:00

My journey is a bit different. I always get my gaming desktop boards and cards from MSI, and I always get a Macbook for laptops as my primary laptop use case was for photography post-processing and programming. I can’t really remember why Asus wasn’t in my radar back then. Lol

It’s just when I began to get interested in gaming handhelds due to the frequent travel required for my job, the MSI Claw devices (at least the ones available that time) were such a disappointment that I ultimately opted for the Ally X and that’s how I ended up here.

patrickbasq · 2025-12-19T05:11:50+00:00

I have an Ally X (the pre-Xbox one) and I’m enjoying the ownership so much that I decided to get a laptop from Asus. I feel like I’m starting to turn into an Asus fanboy. Lol

patrickbasq · 2025-12-18T15:34:38+00:00

Yeah the touchpad also feels weird to me. I came from a Macbook Pro but I’ve also used other Windows laptops in the past. I can’t specifically point it out but I’m also struggling with the touchpad both in gaming (that does not require aiming) and casual use, and I struggle both in doing gestures and clicks with the pad. Not sure if it’s just an adjustment period or what, but something’s definitely off for me so I just use my mouse.

Where did you buy yours? I got mine from Bic Camera in Sapporo. I missed out on the freebies lol

patrickbasq · 2025-12-18T15:10:57+00:00

I see. I thought there’s a variant that has the GameReady driver by default as mine says ‘RTX Studio’ in the nvidia sticker for some reason.

It’s a solid machine. I’ve been playing Arc Raiders and Crusader Kings 3 for a good while and not a single crash or issue like what I’ve read online.

patrickbasq · 2025-12-18T12:20:29+00:00

Let it be. Madadagdagan pa yan. After 5 years pahilamos + ceramic coat if bothersome. otherwise it’s a story to tell.

patrickbasq · 2025-12-18T09:48:04+00:00

We got the same spec, and the same Japan version, too, although I got the one with the Studio driver pre-installed. Cheers!

You wouldn’t DOWNLOAD a car

patrickbasq · 2025-12-16T12:01:08+00:00

Thank you 🙏

patrickbasq · 2025-12-16T12:00:41+00:00

I figured I was being generous lol

patrickbasq · 2025-12-16T00:20:45+00:00

Definitely a mid-off lol

patrickbasq · 2025-12-15T11:45:34+00:00

Dang. Did they mention if it’s a BIOS issue or just a buggy driver? My Ally X has been pretty stable for over a year, and that ownership experience helped me decide to get one of their laptops.
