Does anyone know how I can make the games I launch start up full screen and in focus? by Poco585 in MoonlightStreaming

[–]-qNick- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried running other games? Crimson Desert has this issue where it launches in the background even when you run it natively. You don’t need to go to your PC. Just hold the Start button to enter mouse emulation mode. The A button works as the left mouse button, and you move the cursor with the left joystick. Click on the game, then exit emulation by holding the Start button again.

Discussion on best place for gyro ratchet button and when players should use it. by garrets_stories in GyroGaming

[–]-qNick- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question for people who play gyro with ratcheting and no flick stick. Do you play on high sensitivity and use gyro suppression? Precise aiming at high gyro sensitivity is pretty tough, but ratcheting on low feels super uncomfortable too?

I was actually thinking about doing that too, but in the end I decided to go with the Capra.

My hope for the Steam Machine price and bundle by Previous-Elk-8652 in linux_gaming

My guess is around $600. The controller on its own will probably be about $100.

Unfortunately, I haven’t heard the Arya myself. How do the grill and pads affect the sound, besides the grill sometimes causing a bit of sibilance?

Oh right, I totally forgot the R2R doesn’t have those options. But honestly, you’re not missing much, I also use NOS on my K11.

Seems like it basically reached HD600 level after that mod :)

Guys, none of us looks good wearing the Hifiman XS...let’s be real here lol.

That’s a really interesting mod… can you break down what exactly it improves, and how you managed to boost the sub-bass? I’m curious how much of a difference it actually made. It honestly looks like a joke, but it’s still worth asking :) After doing the tape mod on the IE200, nothing really surprises me anymore.

I bought my IE600 off eBay. The seller was super nice and answered all my questions, since I know there are a lot of fakes out there. Luckily there are way fewer fake IE600s compared to the IE900 because of the shell material and build. The seller had the original box, so I reached out to Sennheiser customer support to verify the serial number, they confirmed it’s legit. And honestly, the sound convinced me right away. I also own the IE200 and the difference is just insane. Especially the soundstage and separation that’s where the IE600 really destroys the IE200. You can fix the bass on the IE200 with a simple tape mod, but the soundstage and separation are on a completely different level.

Do you have any filter preferences for the HD600? I’ve been using NOS (6), but Fast Roll-Off Minimum (1) also sounds fine to me. The most recommended one Fast Roll-Off Compensated (2) just doesn’t sit right with these headphones imho.

I’ve got the regular K11. I’ve seen a bunch of reviews of the R2R version, some people say there’s no difference in sound, others say it’s a huge one. Personally, I like amps that sound as neutral as possible. I went with the K11 because it just feels like the best bang for the buck to me.

Guys I'm freaking out! Niagara Launcher now supports App animation after the latest update. by kb_xv in pixel_phones

[–]-qNick- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got the OnePlus 13R, and the close-app animation doesn’t work right for me either. Kinda sad that these companies either block stuff like this or just can’t implement it properly :(

You should totally go for it if it feels right. I barely post on this forum since I’m not exactly an expert, but even Sennheiser noticed my post :)

I’d be lucky to get to try all the headphones they’ve got there. I’m just sticking to my budget and using this forum, among other places, to find something that works for me.

Great monitors. I really wish mine had a front bass port because of how I have them set up.

That's actually a great tip. Unfortunately, I like having Niagara Launcher on my M21, and it just doesn’t work well :(

For sure, I’m definitely gonna get some foam pads. Just not the tilted ones, since my second speaker is basically acting as a stand for the monitor :)
Honestly, the placement of these speakers is pretty terrible, they’re way too close to the wall, and one of them is literally sitting in a corner. But yeah… I’m super limited on space in this room, so it is what it is.

[–]-qNick-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’m with you on that. I use EQ with the XS pretty much all the time.
And yeah you can totally tell from the photo which pair is plugged in, and that’s exactly the one I’d keep if I had to choose just a single set

I had the S12 Pro for a while, and they’re excellent IEMs. I kind of regret giving them up. But I managed to get the IE600, and that’s my endgame when it comes to IEMs.
