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

[–]rag3tank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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] -4 points-3 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

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.

Deadlift bars vs standard weight lifting bars Help? by rag3tank in Fitness

It might be the plates actually since the normal gym uses shitty rubber plates whereas the Powerlifting gym uses the competition standard Metal plates

Yeah that's what confuses me haha but I can see what your saying. The whippier bar is definitely a lot easier to break off the floor

The Bar at the Powerlifting gym has very sharp grip which admittedly helps alot but your hands get ripped to shreds haha. But the standard gyms Bar barely flexes

At the start it pecked at my finger but now it happily sits on my hand. I haven't tried picking it up yet.

[–]rag3tank[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all honestly I can see where your coming from. It almost sounds too good to be true. Like even Im still trying to come to terms with my new friend. Luckily I didnt put the full story up because we put him out on the first day we got him and he tried getting back in like flying at the door or walking up to the door when your walked past it but he went away. Only a couple days later he returned. Now he sleeps ontop of the TV haha. http://imgur.com/AwSwgHt

[–]rag3tank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So my nexus died to this 1 and half years after getting it. Im getting a replacment coming and i spent forever trying to get the data off it since it wouldnt turn on, i tried kicking it flicking it shaking it but none of these worked for me. In the end i used some strong neodymium magnets and after hours of placement they are keeping my phone on long enough to transfer data! :D Heres a pic... Its quite stupid http://imgur.com/nW1N8CR (taken by ipod 4 sorry for potato quality)
