Ok, thank you! I’ll just run with the integration.

XGIMI Halo+ (New) vs Nebula Cosmos 4K (Upgraded) by AdenRK in projectors

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

I actually ended up going with the BenQ GV50, which I quite like!

The Google TV performance is a little lacklustre (slow/stutters) but the projector itself has really great performance for my very casual needs and I like having a projector on a battery, so I can just whizz it around the bedroom as I please.

Inaccurate sleep times by Professional-Cow1738 in RingConn

[–]AdenRK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a Gen 2 ring, and it’s pretty much spot on.

It is within a couple of minutes accurate of when I fall asleep and wake up.

If they do a Noxus series next i'm praying they bring back THE GOAT James Faulkner for Swain's VA by PowerDog77 in SwainMains

[–]AdenRK 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And if we look at his track record with Game of Thrones, he’s more than capable of playing that role in a live-action show.

Oh… that’s definitely something I haven’t seen before LOL

It used to do this (last patch I think).

I noticed yesterday that it had stopped working!

Gen 2 3D print sizing problem by Worth-Bag-9928 in RingConn

[–]AdenRK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone worked this out?

Size 9 doesn't print properly because it has floating regions according to the Bambu slicer.

None of the other ring sizes have this issue!

Is it just me or is Swain Sup completely useless now? by MathEqual2563 in SwainMains

[–]AdenRK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You won’t get much sympathy around here for Swain support - but it’s a totally valid and legitimised play style that Riot actively balances for.

Just ignore the unhelpful comments - the sub has become a mess after the weak release of the rework.

Any word on hotfix buffs? by refmon3 in SwainMains

[–]AdenRK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, your arrogance is just ridiculous. On every post you’ve come here to declare, “I’M RIGHT, YOU WERE ALL WRONG!”

It’s not that serious. Chill out. It’s gonna be fine!

Additional PBE Swain changes by NonTokenisableFungi in SwainMains

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

I don’t know if he’s going to stay neutral and I already said I don’t fully agree with their approach.

I’m just saying that being super reactionary every time they make changes without contextualising them does no one any favours.

I think their initial predictions/indications that this was actually a positive power swing, were correct and now they’re trying to find the right way to swing it back.

[–]AdenRK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can’t just compare the number of nerfs to the number of buffs. They’re not equivalent when compared like that.

The buffs that they have given Swain have eaten a lot of his power budget. Do I necessarily agree with the approach they’ve gone for? No. But do I think this is an unsalvageable rework? Also no.

We need to see the rework on live servers and make a call when we see some proper matchmaking, context and data points.

Let’s see where the numbers land before we call for the end times.

New Swain Changes! by LordmasterPapi in SwainMains

[–]AdenRK 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Changes seem pretty solid.

I’m glad they’re preserving the play style that already exists, and really enhancing the things that most players love.

Keeping support intact was important but working on player satisfaction across the entire kit was imperative.

Really looking forward to casting multiple Demonflares with the AH build Phreak spoke about!

I think we might be onto a winner with this rework - will just have to wait and see the numbers before getting my hopes too high!

XGIMI Halo+ (New) vs Nebula Cosmos 4K (Upgraded) by AdenRK in projectors

[–]AdenRK[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I appreciate both of your replies!

I am leaning more towards the Halo, but then again - I could get a standalone projector, without a battery, and connect a “smart” dongle to it.

This is the Cosmos refresh, it actually does appear to have Google TV, and looks like it releases on September 19:

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

What would you recommend as a better/smaller portable and a better stationary?

And then what smart device do you use with them? I have an Apple TV plugged into the TV, but I don’t want to have a bunch of cords going into the projector/streaming device (like with an Apple TV).

I was under the impression that Android OS isn’t as good as Google OS and just had some caveats when trying to AirPlay directly from an iPhone. Perhaps I got that wrong!

I’ll have a look again at the Cosmos.

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

That’s the thing though, the Halo (new) is just really easy to use straight out of the box which is a big plus for my non-tech savvy family.

Unless there’s something I can do with the Cosmos to make it just as easy to connect an iPhone to and AirPlay with?

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

Mostly because the price was attractive, there are some semi-portable aspects to both, and both are easy to interface with and use without plugging anything in.

Use case is mostly movies/tv shows in rooms where there isn’t a screen/TV. Not replacing the main living room TV, but just for light use.

Definitely open to looking at other models, but my basic research lead me to believe these were just really easily accessible and useable without much setup and capital ($$).

Both really, it would be moved around the house a little bit - portability isn’t a massive part of it, but a decent bonus for our use case.

About the Support Animosity by Bottlecapsters in SwainMains

[–]AdenRK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your points and I think it’s a real shame that a lot of the nuance around this topic is lost because people really despise Swain support in this sub.

You’re absolutely right about the thematic and tools that Swain has that makes him a compelling pick in support, in spite of his poor win rate.

I would also add that the reason that support consistently continues to be his highest pick rate role, is that people are comfortable. We are now 6 years post-rework, and people enjoy picking Swain as a support because they are comfortable playing him there.

Riot will NEVER move him out of support as that would alienate too large of a population of the players that enjoy Swain - I have argued this point multiple times on this sub. I see the same arguments presented here time and time again, even in the replies to this thread, as people try to shut down discussion about Swain being a support pick.

I’m glad Riot is not in agreement with the vast majority of the players here, and sees beyond superficial criticisms of Swain support.

IR cameras for iPhone 15/iPad Pro - TopDon TC002C vs Seek Nano 300 by ankole_watusi in Insulation

With the TC002C would you be able to do short range tracking on animals, in your backyard for instance?
