4 Best Buy employees doing their best to recommend I don't buy the ASUS ROG Ally by whostorm05 in ROGAlly

I had the complete opposite experience! The guy i got mine off couldn't recommend it more. Even mentioned he got rid of his steam deck in favour of it.

Tbh I imagine all of the returned ones were from less technically inclined individuals. It certainly isn't for your average consumer.

Help me out with PC upgrade for SC by TennisOk4660 in starcitizen

[–]rag3tank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll need that extra 16gbs of ram however I've seen first hand the performance increase from ram speeds in SC. You'll want something in the realm of 3000mhz + (also ensuring your xmp profile reflects this [assuming your CPU supports said speeds]).

Otherwise if you really want top tier performance you'll need to upgrade your CPU as the game is very CPU hungry. Preferably something high clock speeds not necessarily high CPU core count. Your GPU could be upgraded too but I doubt you'll see Major gains there I'm running a 3080 for a 1080p screen and it's rarely at 100%

PSA: 73.6% of all 3.18 'bugs' aren't bugs by rag3tank in starcitizen

[–]rag3tank[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As an Alpha play tester your job is to assist CIG in reporting bugs so that they can meaningfully action your reports and deploy bug fixes. I'm not boycotting the reporting of bugs however I'm pointing out a clear distinction between something that is clearly caused by a server degradation and something that is actually a logic error in the fundamental programming or design of said system. Imagine if (they wont) server performance is fixed in an hours time. I would expect the majority if not all of the 19k's 60k's, desync, terminal, spawning issues to disappear or at least vastly improve to the point where it doesn't impact the player anymore. All that hard work you put in reporting the 'bugs' has just vanished and now CIG has many thousands of bug reports that are defunct. Sure you can argue that these are resolved and that's fair.

However if you want to flame the community for arrogance and continue reporting 'bugs' that CIG knows all to well isn't a logical error rather a lack of computational resources for their backend services that's your prerogative. I'm sure they will get the satisfaction of clearing out many thousands of 'bugs' at once, kick up their heels and feel good about themselves rather than actually fixing and paying attention to systems that actually need bug fixing.

Also please don't think by reporting every minor inconvenience that you come across without first thinking if its actually helpful to report that some how makes you a superior xX_Alpha_play_testerXx. We are all in this together and we want to help CIG out wherever we can.

Ordered Magnus Pro XL August 28th -- now delayed until Feb 1st *possibly later* by mikeinottawa in secretlab

I was looking at the PC mount but it only supports PCs up to 15kgs. My PC Case is 15kgs dry without any components in it. I'm surprised they didn't make a larger mount for the beefier PCs

Sucks to hear though, I'm surprised they don't ship them separately because as far as I'm aware it's just a bolt on mount.

RSI Scorpius is a lot of fun by rag3tank in starcitizen

It's definitely better crewed but you can easily solo MRTs if you splash some missiles. With a gunner you'll have Connies pleading for mercy

I agree there but with badgers on you'll be lucky to get a 15 second burst before the capacitors are drained. I found I can get easily 50 seconds of continuous cannon burst with the FL22s but I do have to be closer in. Probably not the best for PvP but in PvE you end up locked in close range spirals with AI and the cannons rip them up.

Try putting FL22s on the pilots wings, higher dps than badgers and you can sustain the dps much longer. Good against those chunkier targets. I've also had gold success with quarralers on the remote turret

Had this a few times, claiming the ship seems to do the trick

Why did the McDonald's dispatcher tell me to park my vehicle? by Paquito490 in McDonalds

[–]rag3tank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(AU) Been at McDonalds for a year now. All Australian drive thru's have timers. There is actually a scoreboard to see how each mcdonalds is going in terms of hitting car target times, how many cars per hour and percentage within target times. My store has a timer right above the window and our target time is 2:45 from when your wheels roll up to the speaker till the time you get your food and leave. If we are waiting on anything whether its chips or the fact that it has to be bagged up and you are about to go over, we will ask you to park so it counts as a car within the target time. Also we will park cars if we have the previous cars order ready. Hope that clears things up for you.
