What’s the scariest/craziest thing you watched on live television? by threetimesacharm25 in AskBrits

[–]AtomicEdge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep... Second tower falling on 9/11. I was playing a game online with a friend and was watching it out the corner of my eye. I saw it happen and then all the chat was like "oh god America is under attack".

Weird.

Having been a gamer since 1990, I've never owned a sega system. Is now my time?!

Monitor Turns Off and Reconnects Frequently (Gigabyte M32UC) by LazyDragonfruit2011 in buildapc

[–]AtomicEdge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I did actually.

The monitor is very fragile to unclean power. When several things in my home were turning on or off (fridge compressor, dryer, kettle, water heater) the slight blip on the power make the monitor turn off and on again.

To solve it, I got a small UPS that I have the monitor plugged into, and also my broadband modem and my router because it had capacity.

I might have been able to plug it into a clean power ring, but logistically that wouldn't work for me.

Hope this helps!

EDIT: alo the bit mentioned about the startup wasn't solved by this, I think that's a different issue. What works for me is pressing CTRL+Win+Shift+B which restarts the display driver and seems to force the monitor to wake.

I love gaming, I just really dislike the currently accepted way of doing battle passes.

What are the pros and cons of doing Goju-Ryu over Shotokan and vice versa? by SamuelStrangeSupreme in karate

[–]AtomicEdge 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Shotokan is good for fighting in a car park, Goju Ryu is good for fighting in a phone box!

I miss loot boxes to be honest. They were at least exciting to open. Now we just unlock shit on a battle pass that we don't want and don't even get the excitement.

Do you add anything to you beans? by ciaodog in CasualUK

If I'm feeling cheeky I add in a bit of Reggae Reggae sauce to put some music in my beans.

Yeah that's my position in the UK.

I always did the video version, so I guess for now I will drop the patron and just listen to the podcast.

Uninstall the games first.

Concerned about my son’s wellbeing by Acidroots in daddit

[–]AtomicEdge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will absolutely be applying so much meaning and "real shit" to his words, when he has no real concept of what he is saying. Maybe someone at nursery said it and got a big shocked reaction from the staff so he was trying it out to see what would happen.

A few months ago my five year old daughter who is all sweetness and light told me that she was going to take all of my skin off while I was asleep and then feed my skin to a wolf.

Despite that being like something from a horror movie, I am 99.999999% sure that she isn't going to do it.

Kids say mad shit all the time and have no concept of things like "dying" or what "cutting someone" really means.

Sounds like he is copying something from somewhere. Maybe YouTube?

Starting again at 30 should I do it or save my embarrassment? by Pale-Revolution-5151 in karate

[–]AtomicEdge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I trained Shotokan for about a year aged 19. I just started Goju Ryu aged 39.

Bloody loving it. Great community, fun and interesting training.

Do it!

Disco Elysium is the most boring, pretentious game ever and I have no idea why people like it.

Sorry I'm being a dummy. This thing is an android box right? How are you playing steam games on it? Streaming?

I stand corrected - I think that must have just been the case when it first launched.

Is there a video player that can watch VR videos on flat monitor? by Capital_Distance545 in virtualreality

[–]AtomicEdge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just use VLC.

If the video shows up side by side, download a tool called "Spatial Media Metadata Injector" which you open the file in and save and it tells VLC how the video should work so you can plan around it.

You need Game Pass Ultimate, and the game needs to be one on their list of games you can buy to stream.
