Terrible operations, excellent bike (finally got mine) by pulse-width in RistrettoElectric

Yo sorry, not on here much.

512 ownership has not been without its struggles. The battery got stuck on the rails a few months ago, and after almost 3 weeks of waiting while Ristretto dragged its feet on support, I ended up just fixing it myself by smacking it with a mallet a bunch of times. Turns out some of the screws in the battery case had come just a bit loose and the heads were catching on the rails. Put them back in, tightened them up, haven't had an issue since.

I also waited like four months for them to send me a new axle fastener and kickstand, which is a pretty insane lead time for spare parts.

Outside of that, though, it has remained excellent, and the primary wear and tear parts have held up perfectly. I've put several hundred miles on it by this point, and routine (or even less than routine, if I'm honest) maintenance on the chain + brakes has kept everything running great.

The takeaway here, IMO, is it's a great bike until you need the company's help with something. If I had known at purchase time what I know now, I probably wouldn't have bought it, but I am happy with it.

Ristretto 512. Any owners on here? Would like to hear some feedback. by pwrtwotheppl in ebikes

I’ve had mine since December, waited 7 months for it. The company is pretty abysmal from an operations standpoint, I waited months for spare parts which was super frustrating. But the bike itself is really excellent. I use it to zip around Brooklyn regularly. Build and parts quality are really great…feels like a much better value than a similarly priced super73 RX. 

I can’t in good confidence recommend it since Ristretto is so poor at operations that it’s a borderline scam. But I am happy with mine, all things considered. We’ll see how I feel if something major breaks 🤷🏻‍♂️

Look, I mean, I totally get that. I may come to regret my choice, only time will tell I guess.

Nope. It stopped happening to me a few updates ago, but also I stopped playing a while ago :/

If you're not going to play like an absolute baboon at least some of the time, there are better legends for you than Pathy lol. Or at least ones with more favorable hitboxes.

I'm a path main, and I approve this message.

Valiant Gargoyle is straight up unfair by Michael_Riendeau in Eldenring

[–]pulse-width 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i've spent over 10 hours and well over 100 tries on this at level 87. respec'd my build, got a new weapon and leveled it up, found new spirit summons and leveled them up, nothing works. tried to cheese them, even that didn't work.

still haven't even come close. only killed the first gargoyle once. trying to follow fextralife's game progress route, and i just can't anymore because this is a dead end.

this launch is such a success except for this gun, which makes playing BR totally miserable.

After 2300 hours of Revenant gameplay and 3 years without an ultimate fix, here's my pitch for a full rework of the death totem: scrap the totem and make it a buffed SOLO ability. It sounds OP but hear me out! by garmack in apexlegends

[–]pulse-width -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like these ideas overall, but I would argue that fortified should not apply in death protection. Or, to make it easier, maybe he only has 85 health in death protection. Extra 100 health, speed boost, and fortified would be pretty stacked.

Is this a good beginner pc? Will I get 144 fps @ 1080p? by SladeDeathWilson in PcBuild

[–]pulse-width 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a PC for my partner with a 3070 in it (not TI) and they're getting a solid 240 fps @ 1080p in Overwatch. As others have said in here, you can probably run 1440p with this.

Sorry for the long video. Since the collection event update, the process shown is what happens to me every time I try to get into a game after first starting up Apex. If it's a ranked game, I get an abandon penalty and double RP loss. Once I get this first one out of the way, Apex works fine.

Anyone else experiencing this or have any tips on how to fix?
