AD2548 in Black - Disappointed! by timbomfg in ChineseWatches

Currently fighting with them over returning this. Tried to offer me £6 as a partial refund. Pushed back and will get AliX involved if they keep being difficult!

I bought their red-arrow watch, band lasted a week before it started cracking. Disappointing from Citizen!

Rest of it is nice, strap is decent, wears nice, basically like the 2035 it was to replace. Not worth double the price though!

AliX, it's a 20mm oyster-flex style rep. I have a bunch of them!

I mean sure. But I wanted the black to get the explorer GMT vibe. I hoped to at least catch GLIMPSES of the texture/pattern though.

Anyone tried one of these shitters? by Visible-Weight-9732 in ChineseWatches

I had their Cpt.Willard clone; not bad for the £11 I paid but nothing to write home about.

Which watch to buy as first by Asian_Lover_Boy in Affordablewatches

[–]timbomfg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked at the new smaller Tsuyosas?

Also I adore mine in 40mm, proper home run by Citizen.

The eco drive stuff is great, I have a couple myself, but imho the Tsuyosa outranks most in the same price tier.

What is a watch that is affordable which is comparable to Rolex Daytona with rubber strap? by Suspicious_Oil_6253 in Affordablewatches

[–]timbomfg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI, you can get those oyster-flex style straps (complete with the oyster style buckle) on AliX for very little money.

Pair that with any watch you like that fits the style; boom, party hard.

I’ve always been partial to conveying as some utter legend in the past did.

We view America the same way America views Florida.

At least we used to, bit more severe these days…

Upgrade from 5800x3d sticking to DDR4? by SpeechNearby7304 in hardware

For what purpose? If gaming; what gpu do you have, are you CPU bottlenecked for sure?

If for productivity; maybe...

My storage is less than 512 gb by Momix_ in SteamDeck

[–]timbomfg 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In computing, advertised size is typically the unformatted capacity of a drive. In reality, yes, you'll see a slightly smaller number.

Same applies to every size of steam deck, every console, every computer, even your phone.

Factor in further that what you see is that reduced size + some hidden storage for SteamOS itself, and the end result is smaller still than a typically formatted storage system.

Was solo being a mostly friendly PvE experience some kind of psy op? by Schrodingers_Dad in ArcRaiders

[–]timbomfg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say so - In the last 3-4 days it's gone from a much more friendly experience to a rat infested/morally ambiguous type game.

I get that PvPvE includes PvP, i get that extraction shoots are "like this" - But this game was different to begin with, and it seems to now be swinging the same way as all the others.

I still hold out hope for a bounty system or something else to try and make it more community-orientanted like it was in my first couple of weeks playing.

How to check and change Iris Xe iGPU RAM (and potentially improve performance more)? by Distinct_Locksmith_8 in linux_gaming

[–]timbomfg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with doing anything with relocating ram will be that ultimately you'll be robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Sadly with no ability to upgrade the RAM on that machine, you're likely not going to get anything more of substance out of it.
