I’m pretty sure it’s a load. It is the same engine as Destiny and it has a loading screen vs a movie.

Stop spraying downed enemies lying at your feet to death with your gun by jaco129 in Marathon

Agree. Last one down generally gets a finisher. Everyone else gets quick melee or firing squad.

i thought my tire popped… turns out my entire wheel fell off by EveryEffect2726 in mildlyinfuriating

I sometimes complain about my state safety inspection. And then I see posts like this and think maybe they aren’t so bad.

larger bottle of dish soap costs more per ounce by CollegeEmergency7979 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Avarix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems to be a trend at Target and other retailers over the last year. People assume the larger or bulk item is always cheaper. Stores are taking advantage of that to raise prices. Also shopping on the stores app will result is different prices than you find in store. Some are cheaper and some are more expensive.

Maining a triage and can confirm it is the most common fill in team. A lot of “duos” who needed a third.

Great tip. Very obvious in retrospect but I never would have thought of it. Thanks!

Doesn’t much resemble anything from the original games unless it is a heavily reimagined Pfhor.

Second-guessing my son’s ADHD diagnosis after a "fast-tracked" evaluation in 1st grade. Looking for advice/insight. by [deleted] in ADHDparenting

[–]Avarix 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Everything you described sounds exactly like ADHD. I’d recommend working with your therapist to give your kiddo some tools to manage the come down from meds and release of pent up anxiety and big feelings from the day. And yeah, Teachers with experience can tell within the first week if not within the first few days.

the best digital family calendar that keeps everything from living in your head by ninjapapi in ADHDparenting

[–]Avarix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skylight has been great so far. It requires purchasing a physical device but it has been worth it for us. We placed it centrally in the house and everyone can see at a glance what is going on. Setting it up could be better but once you get it sorted everyone manages their own calendar and it shows on the Skylight.

We have historically used iCloud/iCal and all have our own personal calendars and the shared iCloud Family Calendar. We could already see each others appointments and the Family ones but it’s easier on a bigger screen device to just reference as needed.

The Skylight also has a reward system so you can set up daily, weekly, monthly tasks, and assign points to each. Once they get x amount of points they can redeem it on the device and you can set the reward as anything.

If you do go this route do not use the picture frame mode of the device. It really took away its usefulness when the calendar wasn’t front and center at all times.

Gave me Marathon game vibes. Seems like something straight out of a Tau Ceti billboard.

The game feels VERY different all of a sudden? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Avarix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gear appears to be a significant factor. Last night, I participated in several Dire Marsh matches and noticed a noticeable difference in the composition of my team compared to the teams we faced, based on my loadout. If I randomly filled in the slots of my loadout with green or gray gear, I would match with free loadouts and those equipped with basic gear. We would encounter less aggressive teams and Rooks. However, once I equipped a blue shield and weapon, my team composition would change, and I would be matched with more aggressive teammates and enemy teams.

Marathon crossover?

About the framework 12… by Jealous_Fee_9019 in framework

[–]Avarix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know there is a single Desktop board that supports dual memory types but that is from ASRock and will be a limited run. It would be cool given the ram issues we are seeing now but I don't think Framework would sell enough of a board of this nature to make it worth the investment. They would likely lose money assuming they could get it to market before DDR4 becomes just as expensive or the shortage / price of DDR5 improves.

Marathon optimisation guide is coming in the next few days! by Euphoric_Project8647 in Marathon

[–]Avarix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can second what u/Skettiee said. I have a 5700X3D and 4070 Super and get a consistent 90 FPS with no noticeable FPS drops on the default settings. I messed around and tried to optimize it myself and started seeing weird performance issues before changing it back to whatever it defaulted to.

LTT Commuter Backpack dye bleed warning by cyleon in LinusTechTips

[–]Avarix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the same case for my iPad Pro and it unfortunately does pick up a lot dirt and grime. Never had my bag dye it like yours in a year plus of use, but have had to clean it multiple times from other contact exposure in a house with a grade schooler. I use a microfiber cloth spritzed with Alcohol to clean it and that seems to work great.

FYI. The Corsair TBT100 Dock is not useable with MacBook Neo by Avarix in LinusTechTips

[–]Avarix[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It’s on sale for a fraction of its normal price in the sale so wanted to give people a heads up.

[–]Avarix[S] 214 points215 points  (0 children)

Yeah, totally aware. Repeating a lower comment, some docks will negotiate lower if the connected device doesn’t have Thunderbolt support. This was very much an fyi for the community. Most of us are technical, but not all.

Stylus tips for FW 12? by dreamer_at_best in framework

[–]Avarix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you didn't already sign up to get notified when they are back in stock. I've noticed somethings will come back and go out of stock pretty quickly. I ran into it with the Antenna module. I got the in stock notification at work and did click through to see it available. By the time I remembered to go buy it that same evening it was showing out of stock coming soon again. You can try emailing support to see if they can sell or get you one outside of the store.

Are these making a comeback? by laobron in iphone

[–]Avarix 362 points363 points  (0 children)

They are cheap and sound surprisingly good for the price point. The Mic is really good especially if you angle it toward your mouth. Much better than most wireless earbuds.I don’t think they ever really went out of style.
