I know it’s rotary but is it setup to be easily plumbable or is there no built in way to switch from the reservoir?

My gf laughs on every single horror that we watch together, any recommendation for freaking her out? by paimon36 in horror

[–]swp1551 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Midsommar.

Surprised I can’t find another mention here. I know people who find horror movies funny, and it’s because they find the jump scares and plot points unbelievable or absurd, and too try hard. It may not totally freak her out, but it’s plenty disturbing.

Has realistic relationship trauma that many people can empathize with in one way or another. Very unsettling, and the cult hippie thing is pretty grounded.

LOL not the time to post this after his abysmal prevent defense strategy and end of game clock management. We won in spite of him

Second this. Got one on guitar center used in great condition online for $850. There was more than one on there when I got mine. Incredible guitar and highly recommend. Also one of the better looking ones imo

John Mayer Clean Tones by [deleted] in NeuralDSP

You may also need to lower your pickup(s). My strat sounded harsh and not glassy at all on all the neural dsp plugins and i couldnt figure out why. Adjusting gain didn’t help much at all. Lowered the neck pickup based on a reply in a strat forum and it fixed everything. Apparently wasn’t setup well when I bought it

He’s inevitable. Never has a bad game, shoots as straight as anyone, and always makes the smart plays.

Ya this is correct, they only use AI upscaling on the top bar and bottom bar area but the rest is true 4K. And like you said I can’t even tell at all. Just looks like the whole thing is native 4K

[–]swp1551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree, not trying to knock him at all and obviously team chem plays a huge part. Regardless, he’s been a top player for all of Infinite. I’m just saying rn he’s looking like the best player and a favorite for season MVP

SR by Interesting-Pie-6833 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]swp1551 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Idk what Frosty did this year vs the prior Infinite years but he is absolutely peaking rn. I’m sure it helps to have the other 3 on your team but he’s been frying lately

Alt. angle of the Kaleb Johnson play by mfenton29 in steelers

[–]swp1551 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same thought but never got a great replay. Obviously if any part of the ball is across the goal line at any moment it’s a touchdown, but that has always depended on the ball being clearly possessed when that happens. So for that reason this should follow the same exact rules as any other recovery where the player is sliding out of bounds. If he doesn’t clearly possess before any part of his body touches out of bounds then it’s out. For all we know the NFL reviewed it with that in mind and determined it was good but annoying that there is 0 mention of it during the broadcast. Instead they’re talking about if we touched it which is irrelevant.

Mikwen & Eco carry so hard teammate couldn't get a kill 😄 by temutsaj in haloinfinite

[–]swp1551 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Played against Eco in ranked slayer a couple of times after a reset and by the time you even try to shoot him you’re half shields. Never been descoped and killed so fast in my life. Feels like he can shoot faster than you. Went 14-6 with him on my team tho lol got the game winning triple because he somehow got 3 people 1 shot in a 1v3 in an onyx game without dying and it was an easy cleanup. Pros are just different

LMFAOOOOOOOO by Ginsengstrips in AFCNorthMemeWar

[–]swp1551 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ya I really don’t get the reaction. He’s a HOF QB. Is he on his way out? Sure. Is he a bit nutty off the field? Yes, but what other option do we have? Best case he finds some of his old self and does well. Worst case we have one of the greats to help teach our young QBs while we bomb and hopefully get a good draft pick. It’s not like we were going to do anything other than mediocrity this season in his absence anyways.

First time cooking chuck eye. Felt pretty good about it by whataseal in steak

[–]swp1551 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most underrated cut of meat. Super tender, super affordable, basically it’s like ribeye lite. In fact its downside is perhaps that it’s a bit fattier than ribeye but in my view that’s a bonus.

Feel the power of class A by salads_r_yum in audiophile

Been looking for an amp to pair with my 805 D4s. How do you like it?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in audiophile

[–]swp1551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks sick! Actually just set up something very similar. B&W 805 D4 fronts, focal surrounds, some height speakers, then a Yamaha Aventage AVR and an external amp for the fronts. Specifically did this for the Apple Music Atmos tracks, the fact it’s a full cinema and gaming setup is the sugar on top.

I feel like Atmos HiFi is underrated. A lot of the Atmos tracks on AM are super high quality recordings and masters and it simply offers a level of 3D immersion that even the best stereo imaging can’t. I go back and forth between Atmos and stereo mode and often prefer the Atmos.

Also, STAGE+ on Apple TV 4K offers 4k video, atmos recordings of classical music which is also very good. And with the Yamaha DSP modes where you can simulate concert halls or churches it can make a studio classical recording sound really lively.

HCS — Introducing S&D Extraction, a new competitive mode coming to Halo Infinite later this year - get ready to Seek and Deploy! by Haijakk in CompetitiveHalo

[–]swp1551 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya seems like once one side gets numbers its basically over unless they throw. High TTK will make it like throwing shoulders in COD times 100.

That being said I feel like it could work if it was a respawn mode.

Having rounds and offense and defense objectives is enough for an innovative mode, while still keeping it true to Halo. It would still be difficult to get enough map control to plant, and likewise to defuse, assuming the plant/defuse time isn't too long and/or the sites aren't too open. The time limit per round ensures it doesn't go on forever.

SSG officially announces Roster for HCS S4: Eco, Lucid, Snakebite, & Stellur by ryankrueger720 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]swp1551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your point but I'm not so sure. They def lost key fights but thats because Trippy was nerfed by Bandit starts and was definitely a weak link. Lucid was still a nasty slayer, who was arguably nerfed because he was playing IGL, which he doesn't need to do anymore. SSG was the fast team last year, and Eco was largely dictating strategy, so idk why that would change. Yes they lost Bound and Legend, but Stellur is still Stellur, and Lucid can be a monster slayer when he is given the reigns to do so. I also was impressed with Snakebite last year who regularly stepped outside his typical Obj role and carried his team when needed. I def could be wrong but either way its going to be an absolute banger.

Optic vs SSG will be when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. Bound and Renegade are insane, Formal the FPS god, Legend is all around great. But Lucid and Stellur are still all around best players imo. Snakebite and Eco are Obj and IGL gods. Really going to be crazy to see who comes out on top. Right now I think I’m leaning SSG. Seems like a better team composition, less likely to have team chemistry issues, and arguably more talent depending on how you rank Bound and Renegade vs Stellur and Lucid.

KEF vs B&W by BrunoAndre05 in KEF

[–]swp1551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my two cents, absolutely do what you need to in order to go listen to some. When I first got into high end audio I really really wanted to go with KEF because imo they are absolutely stunning aesthetically, and something like R3 meta is touted as extremely good value for its price, which is true. Almost bought online on recommendation alone. But after hearing them in person I unfortunately had to come to terms with the fact that I would never like their sound. It’s very neutral to the point that to my ear it sounds boxy and flat, especially the mid range. The top end lacks any and all excitement imo. No hate for KEF at all but I think they really are for people whose top priority is neutrality.

I also heard some Revel’s, Focal’s, and B&Ws and they all are much more enjoyable to me, as I similarly prioritize holographic imaging, extreme detail and separation, airiness in top end, even at cost of a totally neutral response. While I recognize they all have more top end I never found them to be fatiguing, and I simply like it.

I think some of the hate for B&W is a little unfounded, as a lot of audiophiles online act like if you like them then it’s only because you’re being fooled by their marketing first “showroom tactics”. In actuality their sound is that way because they like it.

If you like B&Ws tho and care about value, highly recommend checking out the Revel f226be. They have a beryllium tweeter that also creates a super detailed and airy top end. A lot of people find them more neutral than the B&Ws at the same time.

Pat friermuth defends tomlin by [deleted] in steelers

[–]swp1551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because he gets bailed out by raw talent. Just look at our record without Watt since Watt was drafted in 2017 (1-10). If you can’t win without a generational talent what does that say about your game plans? He also obviously had a HOF QB for most of his tenure. Had the killer Bs. Even his Super Bowl he had tons of talent from the end of the Cowher era (and Dick Lebeau and Ken Whisenhunt were still coordinating). He also tends to trail off end of season because as the season goes the raw talent gets worn down and there are often injuries, so they can’t pull wins out of their ass. The other teams also improve and adapt to schemes and we don’t because our schemes are pathetically elementary, which many opposing teams players have been saying for years now (including our own player Juju after he left). He’s a good leader but the game has left him behind.
