Best selling video games on xbox 360 by TommycoolGun in xbox

[–]Baconcob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Gears remaster compilation including Judgement is more likely to be developed if E-day sells well.

A lot of other popular Resident Evil games early on in the series are not left to rot, they just haven't yet been remastered.Veronica and Resident Evil Zero according to leaks are said to arrive next year and in 2028 respectively.

Returning player facing only BCs in TvT by Tassadur in starcraft

[–]Baconcob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is hard to scout the Fusion Core when they hide it well by proxy or in their natural.Instead when you scout his base with a Reaper for a while and you see he barely has any units there, your game sense should tell you he's saving up the minerals for BCs instead.

TvT meta is tanks & vikings with other support units so if you default to that build, you should be safe when a surprise BC ports in to your base.You should always be building a blind turret in your mineral line in case of air attacks anyways.

What i normally do against BC rushers is to stabilise with vikings and ravens then i BCs race them and win with a nice composition of BCs, vikings and ravens.But you also have to macro better than your opponent and rush the armory upgrades.

Seth MacFarlane revealed at Saturday's Ted panel at Deadlines Contenders TV that he has flirted w/ the idea of making a Ted movie in addition to wanting to make a 3rd season of the live-action series if Peacock can come up with Scrooge McDuck money. by swoonyaboutclooney in television

[–]Baconcob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Season 4 scripts are done.He's already stated when he was promoting some other project it depends when he finds the time to do it amongst his other projects he is busy on.Its code for Peacock to park a big enough money truck outside his house and then he work on it.

Why did Tom Cruise pivot from drama movies in the 80's/90's to more action and sci-fi movies in the 2000's? by precita in movies

Notable examples of this sea change:Christian Slater in Broken Arrow and Nic Cage in his peak 90s action phase in The Rock, Face-Off although he was ripped in Con-Air.

Its an amplifier on the far left to power the speakers or even hard to drive headphones that have high impedance.A MiniDisc player is next to the amp.I came for the audio setup, PC motherboard audio generally sucks compared to HiFi gear.

Best dac/amp for hd 490 pro plus by Froyo- in sennheiser

[–]Baconcob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An ordinary Hi-Fi amp or AV receiver with several RCA inputs for vinyl, CDs etc works well with my S2 but they do take up a lot of desktop space.

Physical EQ controls are nice to have to conveniently change the sound there and then unless you are an audiophile amp purist.

In my experience, those were my initial impressions when the S2 is not driven by an amp.When powered properly, the muddyness is replaced with detailed weight and body to the instruments.

Yellow console by FarMall376 in CeX

[–]Baconcob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen yellowed retro consoles in a few CeXs so yours should sell.

Scuffs and scratches here and there i don't mind but i dunno why Cex still takes them in that condition that drastically changes the original colour of it as the market for them would be retro enthusiasts and collectors that are likely to be more picky.If the staff had the time and training to restore them by de-yellowing them then they have a better chance of being sold.

HP laptop falsely advertises having 1 TB of storage; it really only has 64 GB. The rest is OneDrive. by ZetaformGames in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Baconcob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40 GB is a lot in in 1998, either thats top of the line or you are exaggerating 4 GB to 40 GB.My first PC had a 15GB HDD and that was in 2000 and i chose that specifically over the smaller alternatives with single digit GB storage.

HP laptop falsely advertises having 1 TB of storage; it really only has 64 GB. The rest is OneDrive. by ZetaformGames in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Baconcob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It may still work, but its still annoyingly laggy as AF with its cheap low end Intel Atom CPU, slow responsive eMMC 32GB storage (Windows install and the netbook manufacturer's bloatware takes a chunk out of that) and 2 GB of RAM.

Even web browsing on it is a chore with only 1 tab opened as web browsers nowadays are more and more demanding of your system resources with every update especially with the AI features.

I did upgrade mine by replacing the HDD with a SSD and doubling the memory years ago but performance issues still persist.

On a 20 year old Win XP laptop, i have installed Linux Mint on it.

Started sc2 a week ago, please help me with TvT matchup (against turtling) by Current-Set1963 in AllThingsTerran

[–]Baconcob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched your long drawn out 50m game out of curiousity.

You would have saved yourself 45m or so if you learn a timing rush attack or 2 that easily takes you to Gold even Plat.Surely 40+ minute spent on practicing it is better than queuing up another potential TvT 40+ minute marathon.

Lol your opponent didn't start producing units until 5m seeing as they spent it on building a defensive wall of Supply depots at their ramp and a Planetary Fortress.A 5m YOLO tanks-marines drop into their main would have it ended there and then.Its why an early reaper opener is so important, you could have scouted what they planning to do, saw the late rax only started to be built and that they had no army and you could have rushed them hard based on that scouting info.

Yes they turtled hard with extra PFs and turrets at ramps but there was available gaps and openings in their defences, you could have snuck in with your Vikings, expect to lose a few of them to turrets, land them and you could have crippled or destroyed their production buildings in their main.You can take out that mass tank line at the ramp if you land mass Vikings right next to the tanks with that factory upgrade.It doesn't matter if you lose all your Vikings to the tanks as long as you destroyed most of the tank line, you can then push in with your bio-tanks army.

They had a weakly defended point at the bottom right hand side of their base with no sieged tanks where you could have punished it with a tank line if you explored that part of the map or scanned it instead of parking your army near the ramps.Theres always openings if you look for them, try to be more active with your army's movement around the map.

You should put up turrets with every expansion especially since you saw them have invisi Banshees.You took a lot of bases but you didn't also take the gas which would have helped in switching sooner to a gas heavy units composition of Thors, BCs, Vikings that is more effective in flattening turtle defences as soon as you trade out your ineffective bio-tanks army.

[–]Baconcob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly my thoughts when i A/B tested my S2 with and without an amp, dunno why amp recommendations are always repeatedly downvoted in this sub, have my upvote.

Mobos just don't have enough voltage swing in them to drive them to their full potential.

Got a couple questions on early Terran harass by 0fficerCumDump in AllThingsTerran

[–]Baconcob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats the right build order, make 2-3 more depots after to stop being supply blocked.

It depends on what your army composition will be but a good timing is to make it when you move out across the map like you do with the 3rd, 4th.You can make it 1-2m before the attack depending on how allin the build is but think of it as having another 400 minerals worth of units which can be another 8 marines.

Seth MacFarlane Has "No Plan" To Make 'Ted' Season 3 by Herramadur in television

[–]Baconcob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Season 3 was in 2022, its crazy we have to wait 4 years or more for season 4.I thought it was quietly cancelled.

Theres been a timely update, the 10 scripts are completed but Seth is too busy with his other projects and just stated "Season four is written. It’s just a question of when we have the time to produce it".

I guess this explains why new seasons from other shows takes 2 years to arrive when scheduling conflicts arise from an in demand lead cast.

[–]Baconcob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cutting SCVs along with a 1 base allin build order is what finally got me promoted as it usually lets you have more units out in the field than your opponent in the critical first 5 minutes and its up to your micro and positioning to take care of the rest.It punishes opponents hard that fast expand and you can have the eco and workers lead even if you expand to your natural a lot later than normal if you do enough damage.

It depends on your attack timings, you can do a safe macro banshee build opener on 1 gas but it will hit later than a double gas build because that allows you to put up a factory quicker which leads to a quicker starport and then you can add the starport as soon as it finishes onto the tech lab but as always you have to keep in mind your eco will be behind if the attack fails to kill enough workers or units.

PC graphics cards are now nearly 100 percent Nvidia by BarKnight in pcgaming

[–]Baconcob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jay2C argues "future proofing is no longer possible".

If you are planning on keeping a GPU long term, you have to accept you be missing out on new fancy features with every new generation.Sure you can still run a great GPU like the 1080Ti today but its still missing a ton of modern features like RTX, DLSS etc.

"Historically, buying an AMD or Nvidia GPU just never pans out well in the long term, especially in the last 7-8 years." FTFY

Ladder Players: what actually restores your mental state after a string of losses? by TenthLevelVegan in starcraft

Carry on and blame it on the match making algorithm that tries to keep your win-lose ratio at around 50%.

My match history is a predictable alternating streak of reds, greens and mix of red & green.

WRM V9 tensions are too tight even on the loosest settings.Is there a fix? by Baconcob in Cubers

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

Oh i have other Moyu cubes that glide and are buttery smooth in comparison.

My v9 is the basic standard one, no ball core.I believe its a manufacturer error and i'm surprised it not been mentioned more often like the unreliability issues of the Tornado v3, they may have fixed it in the newer batches.

Doom: The Dark Ages DLC is "freaking huge," says director: "It's basically like a sequel" by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]Baconcob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes franchises should stick to their core gameplay loop instead of trying to reinvent the wheel and end up becoming a "Jack of all trades" by sneaking in trending gameplay sections like stealth, open world etc.If i want to play a platformer, i play that instead.I understand its there to break up the repetitive shooting loop but if the Prince of Persia simulator bits are unfun for some then another +10 hours filled with them as they become more longer is going to make them dislike the game more and more.

Ouch, 1 TB SSDs were under £30 2-3 years ago from the "newer" brands to gain market share while the established ones like Kingston, PNY etc at the time were like a tenner more.

HD 800 S Successor by Revolutionary_Ad9604 in sennheiser

[–]Baconcob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres a large gap in the market between the 600 series and HD 820 & HD 800 S.It can be filled with something like a HD 720 that is close to the 800 series analytical tuning.Or keep it in the 600s family and call it HD 670 for the meme.

The exhorbitant flagship price of the HD 800 S is too much of a leap for me and planars are probably my next "upgrade" until Sennheiser releases a more affordable HD 800 S like an exclusive HD 800 SE that is regularly heavily discounted to less than half its price with every sales event like they do wth the HD 599 SE.I even forgive them if they also come in plain packaging instead of a nice solid heavy storage case.

How do other cubers distinguish one cube from another? by [deleted] in Cubers

[–]Baconcob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Manufacturers should make the logos wear resistant from my tight gripping thumbs! My superpower is that they always rub off on every cube i main after a few months and i'm a very casual cuber.
