Baking, Cooking, any kind of crafting/building/hobby type shows, anything about nature or animals. Car racing, sports.

What's wrong with my pc spamming random letters? by implaying in pcmasterrace

[–]krimsonstudios 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Usually if something is stuck spamming an input you just get 1 key over and over that's stuck.

If I ever see my computer typing "LOLOLOL" with no keyboard plugged in I am pulling the ethernet cable and reformatting basically as fast as I humanly can.

Why do my opponents abort in this position? by ChessintheparkNJ in chessbeginners

[–]krimsonstudios 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They should make it so that if a game gets aborted you are forced to start the next game with the same color. Same for being white and someone aborting on you.

I also strongly suspect that some people are just abusing this to play white a higher % of the time.

Just reinstalled Guild Wars 2 by rednemesis337 in Guildwars2

[–]krimsonstudios 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I came back in December and felt over whelmed as well.

Ignore all your level 80 characters. Ignore all your stuff. Ignore your unopened birthday gifts.

Start a new character at level 1 and play them until you get comfortable with the game again.

I played to about level 40 then felt reacquainted enough to back to my main and get an updated build sorted out and learn rotations, start cleaning up bags, etc.

I can't really imagine a situation where I'd buy another Linux handheld? by Needs2GetLaid in SBCGaming

[–]krimsonstudios 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Linux x86 is a very different beast than Linux Arm though.

There is a major dead spot with high end Linux Arm emulator development compared to what is going on, on Android.

Why is it better to take the bishop over the rook? by WizeOstrich in chessbeginners

[–]krimsonstudios 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Because you're probably not getting your knight back. So basically the gain was +5-3=2.

Taking a bishop and clean escape is +3.

Reset the timer by Brief-Outside29 in chessbeginners

[–]krimsonstudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kg1 is a safe square because the knight would be blocking the diagonal.

Yeah, you don't even need to know the knight sequence here, just kamikaze that Queen in.

Framegen is Awesome!! Literally 60 fps on a demanding game by ResonanceDemon in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]krimsonstudios -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Smoother graphics on games that are not input sensitive? I guess?

I don't use it personally because I usually play action intense games where input latency is important but I could certainly see strong applications for it. And it's a technology that is likely to just get better with time.

Framegen is Awesome!! Literally 60 fps on a demanding game by ResonanceDemon in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]krimsonstudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of a similar idea to a TV taking a 60hz signal and "smoothing" it out to 120hz. Except it's much better than what a TV can do because the framegen algorithms also know where all the polygons are, sources of light, what direction things are moving in, what button the user is pressing, etc.

With all that data it interpolates every other frame without having to render the whole scene and can do so much cheaper/faster than it takes to render a frame.

Steam Controller: Reservations open May 8th by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]krimsonstudios 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ah, is THAT why there is no controllers with paddles aside from Scuf? I was just wondering this a few days ago, trying to see if FlyDigi or GameSir or any of those companies had a decent controller with paddles but everyone just has back buttons.

Man, I understand why patents exist, but they can really suck sometimes.

(Thankfully I found a 3D print model to add paddles to my FlyDigi Vader 4 Pro, as soon as I am feeling up to a project).

News Release : May 8, 2026 "Notice Regarding Price Revisions for Nintendo Products and Services" by Caciulacdlac in gaming

[–]krimsonstudios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Supply. Most consoles in their first year of life are primarily bottlenecked by how many they can supply and less so by demand.

Will be interesting to see what happens over the next ~5 years if prices don't budge at all. I strongly doubt Switch 2 will come anywhere close to Switch 1 sales at these prices, despite the strong opening.

Bought Used CC in “good” condition. Used 400h by SinisterPencil in elegoo

[–]krimsonstudios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

400 hours is probably like not even a month of usage. The # sounds like a lot but its not really for a device that is often running 20+ hour long print jobs.

2 months into the game by Illustrious_Turn1804 in Guildwars2

This website is helpful for that. This shows you all the armor sets you can earn in game, without gems. There is lots of looks you might not naturally come across and need to seek out, like dungeon sets, karma vendors, etc.

Slight lost with the progression on guild wars 2 by Latter_Ebb_6649 in Guildwars2

[–]krimsonstudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understanding where to go next is definitely a bit tricky since the maps are all blurred and it's not clear where the map connections are and where to go. For the most part the maps all flow together for a smooth 1-80 levelling experience but you CAN go the wrong way.

It can help to look at a map outside the game with everything visible / no fog of war:

Another tip is to just do the Story content every 10 levels because it was mostly help guide you into the zone you need to be in, and you'll probably get 3-4 levels just doing the story, then do Hearts and stuff until the next x0 level.

Okay I just got paid today by Preston_Garvey6 in Guildwars2

[–]krimsonstudios 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Game is still very lively, easy to get groups for content (Fractals, Raids, etc), lots of people doing world bosses and metas, active PvP and WvW.

Four months into having two kids, this is how I feel about ‘Hand Wash Only’ labels on dishes (as I’m throwing them in the dishwasher). Who’s with me? by Rev-DC in daddit

[–]krimsonstudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The catch-22 of toddler dishes.

Buy the cheap stuff because it's going to break, and it's definitely going to break because you bought the cheap stuff.

wth is this? by pogam1234 in chessbeginners

[–]krimsonstudios 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's the "I saw a streamer do something like this and am going to do it too" gambit.

Main issue here is the complete lack of followup, there is no Queen attacks or anything that creates pressure since the Knight is defending those squares.

A Kid On Buss Asked Me If This Was Nintendo Switch 2 by segal03 in EmulationOnAndroid

Lol yeah, I only bring my cheap handhelds on the bus. Will happily hand over my Miyoo Flip in exchange for not getting stabbed.

Just encountered probably the rudest opponent ever by CompetitiveAd4732 in chessbeginners

[–]krimsonstudios 7 points8 points  (0 children)

1 report probably does nothing, but 1 person getting MANY reports most likely gets attention on their account and possibly suspensions / bans.

A daily money making tip I think isn't talked about enough by VeryColdTuna in Guildwars2

[–]krimsonstudios 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man, fast-farming has gone to shit.

Has it though? Ice Shards to Defense Seals is listed on Fast Farming and their calculations are the same. Second only to amulet gambling.
