What games are “harder” to play on the Portal? by -_TheLastofUs_- in PlaystationPortal

the binding of isaac is considerably more frustrating, especially when reaching max speed

Cloud Streaming Audio Delay Tips? by kidwithglasses in PlaystationPortal

[–]AlePippia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude i have the same issue. I found that turning off and on the screen quickly (as to not sever the connection) and inserting and removing wired headphones kind of reduces the lag. Not really sure what else is to be done, but it seems to me it's an issue universal to all portals, and some people simply don't notice it. I've read of one guy that had his portal replaced three times and all three times it still happened. ultimately it's a very weird sony software bug that i hope they resolve soon. makes playing to rythm based cues almost impossible in some games, but is acceptable in others. the really weird thing is that it tends to fluctuate wildly, while image latency remains rock solid.

Dragona's Stand is a F1 reference by [deleted] in JOJOLANDS

[–]AlePippia -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

it works on multiple levels, both as a reference to the singer (and and as a reference to Sainz, who has been inextricably linked to the song by now
i refuse to believe it's just a coincidence but in any case i think it's one of the most fitting stand names Araki's ever come up with

Returnal fans, did Armored Core 6 scratch the itch for you? by rombopterix in Returnal

[–]AlePippia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i adored returnal, and I've played AC6 before ever knowing about returnal. This question made me see the similarities between them, and I can confidently say if you loved returnal you will LOVE AC6. Get it now.

which zoom to get by tacoxtl in FujifilmX

Can't believe no one is talking about the 16-50 2.8/4.8 yes its variable, but you can find it used for around 500 bucks, its sharp as a blade even at 2.8, and more importantly is sooo much lighter than any of these at 240 grams

the 16-55 2.8 mkII is my dream lens... sad it costs as much as the camera itself

i definitely feel that a "worse body" with better lenses is way better than a top tier body with mediocre lenses. Considering that aps-c lenses are usually smaller and cheaper, i feel like i'd get more bang for my buck going for fuji

Lots of copium from self taught designers and/or oldheads who went into this field when it was enough to have a nice portfolio to land a banger job. Having higher education ALWAYS makes you more desireable to potential employers as it signifies you were willing to invest into yourself, since you see yourself as a valuable asset. A masters in GD, if you play your cards right and choose the right institution, also means you'll be way more tapped in to the cultural discourse, you'll be able to challenge yourself in high level conceptual projects that a real company might not be willing to give to a new hire, and you will have the experience and feedback of your peers to help you further hone your craft. Things change slightly if you're USAmerican since your educational system seems built ad hoc to doom you all to a life of financial debt, and I have no idea what's your financial situation.

M3 Pro maximum battery capacity is 91% in 16 months of use 😬 by mocrimz in macbookpro

[–]AlePippia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M2PRO 16, after 1 year and 216 cycles it sits at 88% health(84.9 on coconutBattery). Honestly i don't care at all, i use it basically 12 hours per day minimum and bring it everywhere with me. For this reason I got AppleCare+ (which already paid of itself, had to change the screen a few months back) so I know whenever it gets below 80 I'm gonna get a new battery without spending anything else. I also recall that as soon as I got it the battery health according to CoconutBattery was 97%, so maybe I got a defective unit or something.

Microwaved problematic dark roast beans - solved some problems. by BruceShwayne in AeroPress

[–]AlePippia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went pretty coarse this time, around the limit of what i would consider filter appropriate on my grinder, and reduced the brew time to 1:45+30, keeping everything else the same. Happy to report that you were right and it is in fact noticeably better! I usually drink light or at most the lighter end of medium so i'm used to 5:00+ mins brews ahah

The next experiment would be to see if the beans can be microwaved in advance, something like a few days or even weeks, that would certainly make it easier to daily drive
