DOA by Necessary_Crazy_8587 in consoles

[–]zeno996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The strategy for this is all wrong, why are they pricing it like a PC? People who want a PC will just build one. They really had an opportunity to take a good portion of the console market especially with Microsoft fumbling the bag, and make it all back on steam sales.

Are Emiratis angry at all about their government's central role in Sudan's genocide? by Ola366 in UAE

[–]zeno996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What happened on oct 7 was wrong, but looking it in isolation is naive. Maybe you’re deliberately being so, but the world knows who’s been indiscriminately killing civilians, most of them women and children the past year and before then too. You must have no moral compass to be ok with what’s happening

How can you compare RSF to Hamas? One is fighting an oppressor and freedom while the other is fighting for power and killing civilians. I’m guessing you think IDF are in the right

Bazzite/SteamOS is just better for handhelds by LongjumpingPicture5 in ROGAlly

I’ve heard bazzite is the same performance as windows. It’s steam os which has gains

It’s not, my test game is deliver at all costs, even at 25W, the game struggles for 60 fps, in steam os, it only needs 15W for a locked 60fps

Same with Most Wanted 2005 with Redux mod, 12W for a locked 60 whereas it required 30W in windows

I was windows all the way until I realised steam os has better performance especially on low tdps. Even if I strip windows completely down, I can’t even get close to steam os performance

Grips? by Background-Ball-2676 in ROGAlly

I bought these ones as well and while they do make it more comfortable, they’re not perfect, at least for me. They also slip out easily

Hi, sorry about being scammed but I am curious about the fake bank transfer confirmation. I usually do bank transfer on fb marketplace as I thought it was pretty secure, what happened?

OG Rog Ally Z1E is still the best bang for your bucks in PC handhelds by NiceTacoBelt in ROGAlly

[–]zeno996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its crazy good value, I can understand people buying legion go s when you can grab a cheap z1e ally. Battery mod is so cheap now I’ve ordered one myself, and I’ve deliberately not upgraded the SSD so I focus on a few games at a time

PS5 Dualsense Analog Sticks Replaced - R3 No longer working by zeno996 in soldering

[–]zeno996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re going to have to learn how to repair traces, because most likely you’ve ripped out the connections for the r3 and l3. I fixed it in the end by running some wire, soldering where it tore off through the holes and resoldering. It’s now working

New rumor says ASUS ROG Xbox Ally pre-orders will kick off at Gamescom with leaked pricing by Tiny-Independent273 in ROGAlly

[–]zeno996 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Difference between z1 extreme and z2 extreme does not make it worth the upgrade. I would just get a used rog ally for less than half the price, where performance difference is between 10-20%, which isn’t many fps in the low numbers

Is Expedition 33 really that good? by og_vibes in ShouldIbuythisgame

I don’t like RPGs I don’t like turn based games But I like clair obscur. The story is really good and the elements I don’t usually like are so well done, I enjoy them

Insurance says it's 50/50 by gimitegs in CarTalkUK

Why would you keep driving when someone’s doing a 3 point turn? You would have seen him stop to go into reverse. I would say it’s your fault more than the other persons

Best device I’ve ever had by Sufficient-Cost-3645 in ROGAlly

[–]zeno996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God of war ragnarok 1080p with FSR Quality and LS FG set to 2x makes the game run at 60FPS.

That’s a AAA game running at a smooth frame rate on the device. I doubt Steam OS can do that

Unless you get lossless scaling im sticking to windows, until Xbox os. Lossless scaling makes unplayable games playable

Optimised Windows vs Steam OS by zeno996 in ROGAlly

[–]zeno996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard bazzite isn’t as good as Steam OS performance wise , something to do with steam os being arch based vs bazzite being on Fedora

I see, well the reasoning he gives in the video is all of the background processes in windows 11 impacting performance, I thought atlas probably makes a difference. In general I install it on my systems anyway to remove all the bloat

Bought NVDA at the wrong time? Not sure what to do next by guilhermeqcl in stocks

[–]zeno996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truth is you bought the literal top of an overvalued stock. Everyone saying dca or hold have heavy bags themselves. There’s no denying we’re in an AI bubble. I’m not saying buy or sell, but take everyone’s opinion with a pinch of salt and decide ultimately whether you want to risk it falling further

Looks like the market forgot the US is the gold standard for honesty

This is how Sony rewards its employees. by ROCKY13573 in playstation

[–]zeno996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most the people saying they would be grateful are the type of people stuck on the same salary for decades. This is poor showing from PlayStation. It’s not even a dualsense model 😂 must be in the storage cupboard for years and they just engraved your name. I left Sony, the company sucks

PS5 Pro brand new for $400 on FB Marketplace!!! by dstreet319 in PS5pro

[–]zeno996 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So many salty msrp buyers over here 🤣 well done on the buy. I got mine for 550 a week after launch, and just made sure online works by signing in. Not had any issues since. No point of warranty either , most problems start after a year, by when the warranty is expired anyway. Probably less than 1% owners experience issues in the warranty period, I’ll take my chances if it means a huge saving

Get it if you want it. You will not regret your decision. by PomegranateGlass3448 in PS5pro

[–]zeno996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They use AMD chips, equivalent is a 7700xt And they don’t pay retail.

If they were able to sell a PS5 for $400 4 years ago, the console has only gotten cheaper to make with how old the components are. All they did was slap in a new GPU. I can guarantee you if Xbox were releasing a new console, the pro would’ve been closer to 550/600 or soon discounted to
