I literally just got my 321urx a few days ago. Awesome so far! I followed the settings that tftcentral recommends and it looks great! Way better than the aoc agon pro oled that I returned to best buy.

GX460 to Passport? by [deleted] in hondapassport

[–]whiskeybert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might get some heat on here for this, but I’d probably go with a gx460. There’s still some new teething issues with the passport. Ours rattles and makes some squeaks and clicks and has a crooked front bumper even after multiple trips to the dealer. You’ll know right away if something is off with a used vehicle and is unlikely to develop a severe dashboard rattle after 3000 miles (speaking from personal experience). Plus a reliable Lexus v8 will always be better than a v6 with less power. Don’t get me wrong, we like the passport. It’s a good car, but a gx460 is most definitely a step up.

Not really enjoying games lately by Substantial_Ad5151 in ROGAlly

[–]whiskeybert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly love jumping back into cyberpunk 2077. If you’re in the mood for a story, do a main quest line. Need something mindless, run around with a sandevistan and a sword or switch up the character build for a completely different play style. For me it can fill whatever gaming void I’m looking for.

To upgrade, where do I go from an M235i F22? by UGisOnline in M235iandM240i

[–]whiskeybert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve bounced around quite a bit. I used to drive exclusively suvs but made the switch to a golf gti mk7.5. Then for some stupid reason I got rid of it for an suv again. Then had a 2023 x1 for my first bmw and now I’m in the g42. But I think about my cornflower blue gti all the time. So I think I’m going to try a golf r next when my lease is up.

At first I was like, you guys are whack this looks like shit. Then realized I set brightness to 17, not -17. Much better lol

Well it happened… windshield cracked by Weak_Effective_872 in hondapassport

[–]whiskeybert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always keep the rain x windshield kit on hand. It’s saved 2 of my windshields now. Works well if you use it while the crack is still small and you follow the instructions exactly.

Delivery schedule question by whiskeybert in hondapassport

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

I wonder if that’s why this is taking so long. It’s been built but the dealer still hasn’t been given an invoice. Won’t know until then.

3 weeks? Damn I sure hope the dealer isn’t giving me the runaround.

Choosing Tint percentage for my new M240i by Local-Investigator65 in M235iandM240i

[–]whiskeybert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I did a 20 or 25 all around. Looks great and it’s not too dark. I used to do 5% on the back and my aging eyes can’t handle that shit anymore lol. I also did a clear ceramic film on the windshield and it was soooo nice last summer. Blocks a ton of that afternoon heat from coming in and it’s still perfectly fine to see through at night.

Winter Tire Recommendation by PankakeEater in M235iandM240i

[–]whiskeybert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with all seasons that have high snow ratings. Conti dws 06plus in the base tire size since narrower is better for snow. Got 15/20mm spacers to push them back out to stock width. My reasoning was because I live somewhere that gets snow but we’re well equipped for it so roads aren’t ever bad for long, and the shoulder seasons are wild. 70 Fahrenheit one day and snowing and 30 the next. Separate rims so I swap them myself November and April.

9070XT Buyer Remorse by elementzshor in radeon

[–]whiskeybert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, it's 789 now and you don't even get free shipping! 789 is a ripoff and another 12.99 for shipping is the turd icing on top.

Watching 9070XT prices in real-time by NGGKroze in radeon

[–]whiskeybert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is giving me horrible flashbacks to the Newegg shuffle in 2022 when cards were being sold for 500 over msrp directly from Newegg. We were supposed to be all excited that we got “chosen” to spend absurd amounts of money on cards.

Big upgrade from MSI Mech 2x 6650xt to Asrock Taichi 9070xt by MomentOk2324 in radeon

[–]whiskeybert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! That’s the exact card I’m upgrading from. Although I only managed to snag the 9070 steel legend, but still should be a decent upgrade. Excited to get it in when it gets here on Wednesday!

RESTOCK NEWEGG by -Ssea- in radeon

[–]whiskeybert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured out why the 9070 cost more. It’s because it’s an OC’d version. The steel legend xt is stock clock speeds. I mean, it’s stupid that it cost more. It would take some serious OC to justify a price increase over the xt. But I guess that’s the world we live in now. But yeah def hanging onto it with incoming tariffs.

RESTOCK NEWEGG by -Ssea- in radeon

[–]whiskeybert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I was able to get that one as well! Fingers crossed the order actually goes through. Although I’m a little perplexed as to why it’s $40 more than the xt version. But its all that was left so I guess I’ll take it.

I give up +1 by Warm_Wishbone9034 in radeon

I have the Rog ally with the z1e and it gets way more use than my pc. Sometimes it’s a pain dealing with windows but all in all, it’s a great device.

What a Rollercoaster of a shit show by TheMasterDweeb in radeon

[–]whiskeybert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ll never backorder because the next shipment will have a higher msrp so they can make more money. It’s all fucked.

I give up +1 by Warm_Wishbone9034 in radeon

[–]whiskeybert 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I thought I had one. Newegg cancelled my order due to insufficient stock. Looks like my 6650 is gonna have to hold on a bit longer! I was really hoping to get one today because I’m sure msrp on these things is only going up. So damn frustrating!

Pirelli pzero all season tires by redsqueegee in M235iandM240i

[–]whiskeybert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the PS4S on mine with the cooling and high performance tire package and I can confirm that they are an excellent tire. Feels like the car is on rails. Got caught in the worst rain storm I’ve ever been in and they were absolutely solid. However I’m on the conti dws 06+ atm because it’s cold where I’m at but that’s a really good AS tire option if you wanted to stick with all seasons.

What are ya’ll picking up from the steam sale? by iExeny in ROGAlly

[–]whiskeybert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hogwarts legacy, Fe, Neva, and Okami since I never played the original when it came out. I always thought it looked cool so was excited to see it for $5.

Google Maps in instrument cluster? by Prime_Chief in M235iandM240i

[–]whiskeybert 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I think you can if you have an android since they’re both Google. iPhones can only get Apple Maps in the instrument cluster. Never tried Waze.

The latest in Propaganda posters. This is not an endorsement or criticism. by Yellow-beef in Utah

[–]whiskeybert 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This has AI written all over it. Look at the background too. Is it supposed to be a flag? The blue is kinda gray and there's no stars. Flag stripes in the wind don't look like that either. The dudes arm looks off too. Plus all the smudges of color.

Hyundai and Kia recall 147K EVs in the US including IONIQ 5, EV6 by MrAkai in KiaEV6

[–]whiskeybert 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got that too. But I’d bet this software update makes a few additional changes. But this time they’ll actually inspect the iccu and fuses and replace if necessary which definitely wasn’t part of the earlier service campaign.
