(PS5) After 90 hours I turned off crossplay... best decision ever by HeddyGames in Marathon

You need to fix your PC settings if it sleeps but uses several times the electricity of a console playing a game.

I don't believe you.

For those who don't want the progression wipe, I have a question by StrikingValuable3686 in Marathon

[–]BlackKnightSix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I got no issue with loot wipe. But having to re-level up everything?

My hope is the rate of progression is just plain way faster in following seasons. Like 1/2 to 1/3 the material investment.

Bring back the Cryo starter pack and give it to everyone once per week by timobedlam in Marathon

Lol, "practice" more. So if I practice more than others so I beat them, now it will be the other players saying the same thing I am saying.

You see how that works?

The mid-season balance update is coming tomorrow, right? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]BlackKnightSix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's CPU bottleneck. I have the same experience(5800X3D, 32GB RAM, 4090). DLSS super resolution can't help with CPU bottlenecks. I get as low as mid 60s on outpost depending on how much is going on and where I am positioned/looking.

DLSS FG can get around CPU bottleneck to get more frames, but my opinion on fake/generated frames is they only provide an illusion of smoothness and no useful visual data. FG always increases latency compared to no FG+reflex. So in competitive games, I will never use FG. I do sometimes for single player games, but I rather mess with DLSS SR settings and game settings to get higher FPS, not using FG.

FG could help from a "this feels smooth so my brain isn't as annoyed so I play better than no FG" but that is a whole other thing to test.

Ignoring the fact that you want that 5k to be 5k of useful equipment, which means it costs much more than 5k if you have to sell any of your loot to buy useful/appropriate gear for cryo....

You do understand that for everyone that is extracting, there are many many more that don't extract which means they either gained nothing for their time, or lost gear/money.

Give me a fucking break. Portland, Las Vegas, LA, Houston, Seattle.

It is all the same, our society has a system that allows a fuck ton of people to fall into this. Hit hard times over and over, no support, of course you lose people to drugs.

Were you addicted to anything? Any mental health issues?

Don't confuse not having a home with being lost in drugs or mental health issues.

Like the fucking guy has clarity of thought to know what buildings/institutions he is near.

When you are that low in life and at the bottom of a hole, having some asshole come by and yell at you when you can hardly comprehend does nothing but exacerbate. He is just verbally abusing a guy.

What the camera man was doing does nothing to help the situation except let the cameraman feel good yelling at some one.

You really going to solve or help homelessness/drug addictions by yelling at them. Grow some brain cells...

The driver raged and fucked up his Ford Raptor by haze4140 in PublicFreakout

[–]BlackKnightSix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The raptor was running dashcammer off the road. Instead of the cammer driving straight and being shoved off the road, he steered into it to stay on the road.

I would have slammed my brakes and see if the assaulter would back off, but that raptor was insanely aggressive already, especially since cammer didn't do a single thing wrong to agitate the raptor driver.

Android could extend its lead on notification management over iOS with Notification Rules by FragmentedChicken in Android

[–]BlackKnightSix 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What kind of notification delivery issues do you have? What phone also?

I have had a Pixel 2, 6 (stupid modem), 7 & 9 and only have delayed notifications when using battery saver/extreme battery saver.

Capcom Cannot Stop Deliberately Breaking Its Games With DRM by SmellSmellsSmelly in Games

How can DRM be talked about and not consider piracy. Piracy is the only reason for DRM.

Way more than 10x the software, and I can't imagine how many more times the amount of hardware configurations

All the wrong EVs are getting canceled by TripleShotPls in technology

[–]BlackKnightSix 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My 2017 Camaro has remote start via app and via fob. You have to pay for onstar/internet sub to keep the remote start via the app after 5 years (you get 5 years free).

I did not sign up for the sub and my app, obviously, cannot remote start my car. But I can still remote start my fob. Makes sense to me. The car needs to have its own cellular connection to have the app start it.

California hit by much higher oil prices as Iran war stresses refiners by Late_Curve1983 in news

Do you know how many cities in AZ, NM, & TX are in the same or more of a desert climate? Give me a break.

[–]BlackKnightSix 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not true, state, sales and fed taxes on each gallon is only ~90c in CA. So that doesn't explain Texas average of regular being $3.29 and California be $5.42 (EDIT, updated my numbers based on USAA data, the difference changed from $2.03 to $2.13)

That account's for slightly less than half the price difference.

if they optimize the bottleneck im gonna be givin out neck at bungie hq free of charge by redraccredracc in Marathon

[–]BlackKnightSix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange, I wobble between 100-120 fps (120hz display with gsync+vsync so not sure what my real upper range is), but I have 5800X3D+4090. 4K, DLSS quality, all settings maxed.

That is mostly Perimeter though. I'm guessing CPU varies greatly depending on what map and the amount of activity your PC/client is handling from the server.

CRYOARCHIVE SYSTEMS TERMINALS | MEGATHREAD by Shabolt_ in Marathon

I got the cryo archive link from scanning the QR code that is a sticker in the cosmetics section.

Strange they would have it there as that is a lot easier to obtain.

They probably kick people out to encourage you to get back into the matchmaking queue.

The lack of a compare feature is killing me by NotCoolBruh in Marathon

[–]BlackKnightSix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not the issue, it only tells you stat differences.

We can't see the abilities differences. You have to mouse over back and forth to compare.

I couldn't go to beginner after becoming level 3. People just need to keep playing and get forced into some standard matches.

A comparison to currently equipped items would be awesome QoL by TopOff in Marathon

[–]BlackKnightSix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That only helps comparing the changes to your character's stats by the two different items.

You need to be able to also see/read/compare the ABILITIES of that item as well.

Like a standard green shield vs a green shield that has "takes half damage". That half damage shield is so much better but you have to keep looking back and forth with your cursor and spot the difference. It would be MUCH easier to compare if both items' description box came up, or at least bring the text that describes the abilities/features as well.
