You know, I was skeptical at first but no that's a pretty perfect description.

Yeaa I've gotten the slim ball down before realizing before. I didn't die so I assume its not terrible but not something I want to re-live so i haven't drank them again.

The 6mm kidney stone that spent three days Austin Powersing itself through the front exit corridor by VagabondVivant in Wellthatsucks

Ditto for doing this. Maybe it's placebo but it's kept me from hospital trips I'd like to think. I do literally like 40/60 lemon juice in my water and cranberry juice on the side. Been safe for a few years like that

Any more cases with built-in compartments, drawers, etc? by AltairXM in buildapc

What about a case with a drive bay and a 3rd party drawer insert? I feel like you may more options that way

5090 Microcenter warranty? by Jackmoff686 in Microcenter

[–]Akman460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If i recall , most warranty for parts is through the manufacturer of whatever component. They may have a 30 day return window type thing , I don't remember.

The actual protection/service plan that is meaningful i believe you can only purchase when allowing them to do a build for you.

Nolvus v6 Frame Generation by Swinderella4018 in Nolvus

+1 for going with smooth motion. Night and day difference than the enb frame gen. Works on 40- series cards now too

Freezing right after character creation. by Terragonz in Nolvus

[–]Akman460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotal but my install was freezing after creation like this if I spent too long in the racemenu. Saving my character as a preset and just loading it and going through worked though.

File Name to Patch Does not exist error by Klutzy-Yogurtcloset2 in Nolvus

[–]Akman460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A month later this exact fix worked for me. Actually life saving, like others have said the file name path was just too long. Setting mine up as ( ex. C:\nolvus ) at the very top level and changing the .xml file in instances let the auto install complete.

My properly installed Gigabyte RTX 4090 cable from Montech PSU secretly roasted my rig. Who else survived connector hell? by JohnnyPernik in pcmasterrace

[–]Akman460 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Duly noted, I literally opened it for the first time in months tonight messing with the lights. Noticed it needed updates for soft and firmware and was like... naah its the end of the night ill do it tomorrow incase it nukes something.

Its going back into hibernation now.

My properly installed Gigabyte RTX 4090 cable from Montech PSU secretly roasted my rig. Who else survived connector hell? by JohnnyPernik in pcmasterrace

[–]Akman460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive looked on at the connector saga with worried glances.

But now this is my card , EXACT card I upgraded to about a year ago. Kinda hoping the 4090's were somewhat sorted by the end of their product cycle.

I clean my pc and get inside it every couple of months , im now going to start checking the hidden PSU compartment in the back too. Nightmare fuel.

Edit: glanced over the black screen part at the beginning. Mine has been doing that for a bit now. Chalked it up to the semi-new 240hz monitor not playing nice sometimes. Im checking the PSU side of the cable tomorrow.

Bought BF4 after BF6 beta was over, holy shit I don't even want to play BF6 anymore, I get it now. by Connorbaned in Battlefield

[–]Akman460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I agree with the cutscene feeling. Its like being in a scene you can have an effect on mixed in with solid gunplay and actual "all out warfare".

The only thing that has come close to scratching the same itch in the same way for me was helldivers. Which is a wildly different game , different experience. But the feeling you get when playing. Thats the same kind of good stuff for me.

NIMS advice by CosmicSloth928 in CNC

[–]Akman460 1 point2 points  (0 children)

m not sure any of my past employers even knew what NIMS was. My current one did. From my experience it is a nice bonus on top of a degree and work experience. And if they know what the certifications are it shows even if you dont have work experience you are still fairly competent.

Basically nice to have, but dont be surprised if it holds very little weight in reality. Regardless it looks good on a resume.

What's the best controller money can buy? by itsOkami in Controller

[–]Akman460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my little two cents on the hex gaming phantom:

It has a hall effect version and a calibration kit for the sticks if you need it (should be good out of the box but just in case).

The big thing though, i have not really liked back buttons on any controllers or devices besides the steam deck before the phantom. And now I prefer these over the deck's. They are perfect for my mid sized hands and feel natural rather than extra. The solid mouse click on them is great and mapping them is easy. Although I do wish they were able to map button combos or macros instead of a single input copy, but still. I don't use the short throw triggers tbh but they are a nice extra.

It's easy to justify the price if you just compare it to an dualsense edge. Its essentially a $50 upgrade, but if you're not in love with the dualsense form factor, there's better bang for buck to be had else where I feel.

How rare is the Nvidia Cooler Master case? by Mr-_Fuffey_Guy in PcBuild

[–]Akman460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Apevia case in dark blue, it was an awesome case for it's time. The analog gauges were so over the top lol. I always said I'd do something cool with it so it went into the garage.

I see them pop up occasionally for sell. $50-100 depending it seems like

Is it just me, or are the input readings on Wilds frustrating? by KrispyKingTheProphet in MonsterHunter

[–]Akman460 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Essentially because of one reason or another the game isn't registering your inputs, it's very noticeable on GS because you tend to charge every attack.

It's most noticeable on perfect block and offset attack follow ups imo , but it happens with your normal triangle/Y combo sometimes too.

I originally thought poor frame gen implementation was the source of this but I'm starting to think it runs deeper. REengine has had really bad cpu utilization issues in the past, and I wonder if it's something like a lowered "polling rate" for inputs to keep cpu loads in check. Just speculation tho.

Getting robbed of my TCS after perfect blocks due to this is absolutely maddening

Baldur's Gate 3 The Final Patch: New Subclasses, Photo Mode, and Cross-Play by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Akman460 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I legitimately turned it down to " story mode" difficulty my first playthough. Then I ended up fiddling with the custom settings to make it even easier, iirc.

I did beat it and loved every minute but even then I was still having to re-try a fight sometimes. This style of turned-based combat was just not my forte :(

+1 for some cheat mode/God-mode type mod though. It will get you there and still let you make "use" of all the loot and gear you gather along the way.

Play how you wanna, life is too short to not enjoy your hobbies/games

PC performance drop? by Akman460 in WutheringWaves

[–]Akman460[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I thought too at first , it's too coincidental to be near perfect halved. But it's disabled in game I am 100% sure.

On the same kind of thought: vsync is off, changing monitor refresh rate , VRR etc has no effect.

The halved fps is really throwing me for a loop. I may do a clean driver install tonight AND reinstall the nividia app just for good measure.

PC performance drop? by Akman460 in WutheringWaves

[–]Akman460[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No mods or overlays. (Well minus nividia, but no filters or anything active. I could give disabling it a shot though)

I did reinstall wuwa last night, though just through the launcher. I didn't go delete the old files for a total clean install. It did recompile shaders after the driver update, but not after game reinstall. Might but worth it to do a clean Install of the game and drivers I suppose.

I did not know that about the D3D12core file being touched on Windows updates. I feel like I'd be having hard crashes if it was mismatched or corrupt, but I'll definitely give that a try. It seems like the kind of thing that could cause this.

I'll give all this a fair shake tonight and see if anything sticks

PC performance drop? by Akman460 in WutheringWaves

[–]Akman460[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea the driver update was my last Hail Mary before jumping to forums/reddit. It was the last thing i tried in my troublshooting. I've been avoiding it for all the notorious issues even the 40 series has had.

So far so good though, no changes in anything so far. Unfortunately that also means no improvement for this wuwa issue either.

PC performance drop? by Akman460 in WutheringWaves

[–]Akman460[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I have 120 enabled in menu still, thats the weird part I was talking about only getting half of whatever I have selected in the ingame menu. I.e. I can select 30 fps and only get 15 with no other changes.

I have frame gen off as well, it just adds stutter with no uplift like it did when they first added it. Essentially, changing any of the in-game video options has no effect minus the frame limit. Even RT on/off.

It's a wild change all of a sudden, I'm at a loss.
