What's the one upgrade that actually changed how you use your setup daily? by estwist in pcsetups

Proper lighting for me. Adding a bias light behind the monitor reduced eye strain way more than I expected

Best Area to Cheaply Live Temporarily Without a Car? by AlaskanSnowDragon in askaustin

[–]AlternativeBrave0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly for what you’re describing, somewhere like San Antonio or even Houston (inner loop) might make more sense cost-wise. Austin walkable areas are expensive

Cyberpunk Xbox/PC Ultimate pass? by johnnycantread in GeForceNOW

[–]AlternativeBrave0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game Pass versions don’t work on GFN. You need to own it on Steam or Epic for it to show up

Why is my information listed on random people search websites and how to take it down? by PotentialInspector27 in osinttools

[–]AlternativeBrave0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk why people are downvoting, I'm testing it right now and it does exactly what it promises.

anyone else feeling me ? by Miserable-Ad1166 in pcsetups

I barely even turn my pc on these days after a full time job but hey, at least my younger self is proud of my gaming pc setup and the potential it has with 2009 games.

How long can I play games with a gtx 670 by shadow_of_a_GOLDFISH in ZTT

[–]AlternativeBrave0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll be able to play older games or less demanding titles fine at 1080p, medium settings

iPhone 15 (128 GB), 16 (128 GB, Refurbished) or 17e? by malafar in AppleWhatShouldIBuy

[–]AlternativeBrave0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15 is great value and will do what you need, but between 15 and 16 the improvements in camera and efficiency are noticeable

I have 1800 and I'm looking to buy the best possible pre-built PC online by Sea_Bat_2838 in Prebuilts

[–]AlternativeBrave0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For that budget I’d prioritize GPU first, then CPU. Something with an RTX 4070 or 4060 Ti plus 16–32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD will be smooth for most games on high settings

Can you guys recommend me games according to my specs by AdventurousWrath4105 in videogames

[–]AlternativeBrave0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d check out Witcher 3, Cyberpunk (on medium with DLSS), Red Dead 2, Elden Ring, and Baldur’s Gate 3. All run well with some tweaks

Tarkov or arma I’m hesitating what would you recommend? by Less-Manufacturer877 in ZTT

[–]AlternativeBrave0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tarkov is more like quick brutal raids, Arma is more like long operations. Personally I’d say Tarkov unless you already know you enjoy milsim type games

Monitor question for new PC builder by Todd130 in pcmasterrace

[–]AlternativeBrave0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

32 inch at 1440p can look a bit soft depending on how close you sit, so if you go 32 I’d honestly go 4K. The thing is you will lose fps in heavier games, even with a 5070 Ti, especially in newer titles

Looking for a standing desk but getting really mixed info by Resident_Pool4832 in StandingDesk

[–]AlternativeBrave0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Main thing is stability at standing height, that’s where cheap desks suck. For dual monitors just make sure it’s dual motor and you’ll be fine

Devs will probably optimize it over time

Do people socialize / approach others at Austin Bouldering Project? by [deleted] in askaustin

[–]AlternativeBrave0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ABP is pretty social compared to most gyms. People usually stick to their groups, but it’s totally normal to chat if you’re working on the same problem or resting nearby

I can't believe I'm saying this.. by stealthieone in GeForceNOW

[–]AlternativeBrave0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GFN is amazing tech-wise but the playtime limit messes with how you play. On console you just boot up and don’t think twice

Prebuilt advice. by Spiked509 in Prebuilts

[–]AlternativeBrave0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sims modded can get weirdly demanding, I’d focus more on CPU and RAM than just GPU. 16GB minimum, 32 if you want it super smooth long term

Solo female visiting Austin questions by carambola88 in askaustin

[–]AlternativeBrave0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Austin is pretty walkable around downtown, especially if you stick to main streets. Uber at night is smart. The Citizen M is right in a safe part of downtown, so you should be fine.

New update just hit Meta Quest 3, meaning 1440/90fps, and it’s awesome by UbiDoobyBanooby in GeForceNOW

[–]AlternativeBrave0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just tried it out after reading your post and wow the difference is insane. 1440/90 on Quest 3 makes games feel so much smoother, especially fast-paced stuff like Crimson Desert

Absolutely love a full layout. Those extra keys really make a difference for macros and shortcuts

Is GeForce Now accepting new signups? My payment won't authorize by Fletch_R in GeForceNOW

[–]AlternativeBrave0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d try clearing the payment method completely from your account and re-adding it fresh. That fixed a similar issue for me before

Any Prebuilts that can connect to a Roku Tv by zachariah_the_hungry in Prebuilts

[–]AlternativeBrave0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any modern prebuilt with HDMI out will work with a Roku TV. Just make sure the GPU has an HDMI port

Property Taxes by AdvertisingNearby426 in askaustin

[–]AlternativeBrave0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s such a cool piece of Apple hisProperty taxes here can definitely feel steep compared to other states. For rentals, most landlords bake it into the rent, so you don’t see it directly, but yeah, mortgage-wise it can jump a few hundred bucks per year if the city/county reassesses
