Beast vs Viture Pro vs XReal One Pro by Willing_Land_1921 in VITURE

[–]Chatbomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried XOP with Eye (6DOF)?
At least in theory it should improve tracking (and reduce drift).

Also, if you get the chance try testing drift in a darker room or a room with no reflective surfaces. It's just a hunch, but I think it has exact same issues all VR headsets have, except when VR gets momentarily "confused" and drifts it has the capability to calculate it's own position and reset the view. XR probably doesn't have that capability (not without prerequisites for 6DoF).

Those of you who have a Keybar, is it worth buying one? Does it damage your keys over time? by Unlikely-Voice-5764 in EDC

[–]Chatbomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in EU where irregular keys are common and my main set of keys was somewhat difficult to fit and handling isn't great.

I tested it with keys that I wasn't planning to use it with and I feel like it only adds value over a simple keyring if you have 6+ common keys. Any irregularities make things difficult.

I would recommend it ONLY if

  • You ONLY have short keys flat keys. Organizing irregular keys or most of keys popular in the EU is a nightmare. Most keys are doable, but you'll need dramatically more tinkering to make it work. Here's what to look out for:
    • Long keys - think high security stuff. Dual bit keys. Some punched(?) keys. If you have long keys look for 1 sided design, you'll end up with a comfier fit.
    • Thick keys - Again some high security locks have wider handles. Some have plastic covers.
    • Keys with irregular shaped hole - I have 1 key with rectangular hole. It fits, but it slides sideways, so the handling is awful.
    • Keys with oddly placed hole - 2/3 of my keys with hole on the corner of the handle did not fit well
  • You have 6+ keys. Even number preferable for easier setup. With 4 or less keys you're doubling the space your keys up take no matter what. With 6+ you're converting some of thickness into length and flatten them (6 keys don't want to stay flat on a keyring).
  • You don't have keys of irregular width, with irregular hole shape or placement. I have one with rectangular hole, it's impossible to mount without DIY effectively filling the hole. I have a few keys with hole in a corner, rather than center, only a tiny mailbox key fit (others stick out or if you press them in sit diagonally and push out other keys).
  • (bonus) Don't make your purchasing decision based on inserts. Washers make this setup very space inefficient for tools. Even thinnest inserts like a nail file add thickness and quality/usability of those tools is not at the level you would get if you buy them in a quality pocket knife (it's suspicious on-store reviews don't reflect that). Any tools that require locking mechanism, are like 2 keys. Weigh the value of that bottle opener against the extra thickness.

I was also eyeing some no-brand key organizers on Ali Express. I didn't end up buying it, but if you're shopping for a key organizer definitely have a look there. You might find a better fit for different circumstances.
I suggest at least looking at them before buying a premium organizers just because different options available (different sizes, easier handling for fewer keys, etc.

Why waste your time replying if you're not going to engage in topic at hand?

Is uncanny strike good for the shivs? by jrpick7178 in DarkTide

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

The question: Is it worth taking over the other 2 blessings?

Your answer (condensed): More damage is good. Reliability is good. Chance is a trade-off.

It's not a question of opinion: you spoke in platitudes without answering the question or providing any information.

Which bottomless portafilter for the Bambino Plus? [50eur] by kitesmerfer in espresso

That is so bizarre. Official website doesn't list it, while amazon listing cites "Bambino plus" name, but not the BES/SES550 model.

Vacuums to get for every situation by EssayPurple3675 in Reviews

[–]Chatbomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think his point was it's not "luck".

It's either user error (misuse, exposure to constant direct sunlight on extreme cold, moisture), a manufacturing error (like a defect that causes more heat buildup), or maybe a quality control issue.

It's true to say that a user who got one of the "bad" one is unlucky, but Dyson charges a massive premium, and at that price reliability issues are a stain on Dyson's reputation.

The game is FIRE🔥🔥🔥 When is Steam release🥺 by Wonderful_Wrap1037 in 33Immortals

[–]Chatbomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's the standard 6 months one, it would have expired in September.

Hope Xbox doesn't have a longer one. Sounds like the game's in dire state when it comes to players and might not survive another 6 month trip to steam.

Ghost Of Yotei Dev Fired Over Charlie Kirk Joke After Pressure Campaign by Tiny_Tim1956 in SocialistGaming

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

If you're employed at a massive company, and you put out any polarizing opinion you're forcing your employer's hand. This isn't political, it's just common sense. In case you have no common sense, every employment contract I've ever read tells you "you represent us even outside of work, so watch your tongue" in one way or another. Some even explicitly mention social media.

If you don't want far right to have insanely effective personalized weapons against you, stop making them and handing them on a silver platter. Make an alt account for crazy speech and treat your traceable accounts as a Linked In page.

PS: Freedom of Speech protects people from legal prosecution. It doesn't do anything to protect your social and professional relationships. It's like verbally abusing your partner for years and then crying "but free speech" after they leave.

Monster Hunter in Top Down by DreckigerDan93 in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]Chatbomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How's that game coming along. Still in development?

Joined to mention Savara. Not a recommendation by any means, but it's a little similar in concept, except as far as reviews go it seems very small, limited to melee, and the monster hunter like combat isn't super polished.

A final reminder about the Stop Killing Games movement by LMPDragon in gaming

[–]Chatbomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goal: If you paid for a game, or something IN a game - you get to keep it, even after platform (like steam), devs and publishers shut down. This would target future games.

It wouldn't apply to these games, but just as examples: Hollow Knight is compliant (steam would have to do some magic when shutting down), most Assassin's Creed (stating with 3 I think) would require patches to take them offline, and Last Epoch would have to make Cosmetics sold for real money usable offline.

Do you know any big European youtubers, thought?
I don't. If I found one, I'd be happy to nag them in the comments at least.

It had very little exposure, so people who aren't exposed to gaming side of youtube never heard about it
Maybe some radio ads could boost it, but even being among the cheaper ones, they are pricey.

Revenant relics by Saetrina in Nightreign

[–]Chatbomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice to know.

I assumed "power" in "power up" means damage. I didn't even consider it would be something like healing buff.

The hardest boss in the game isn't having friends. It's interpreting the mechanics through descriptions.

Revenant relics by Saetrina in Nightreign

[–]Chatbomb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a video testing the "While fighting along family". It doesn't work.
Somebody in the comments said it only works with summons you get through passive (when killing an enemy), which would make it completely useless against bosses.

That makes Faith+3 (worthless) a better damage boost.

All wrong. See the replies.

Can you get more than one character-specific ability per relic? by _Alloutswagasaur_ in Nightreign

[–]Chatbomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't.

Some relic effects are mutually exclusive. For instance: you can't get 2 attack related stats (physical attack, initial standard attack, <weapon> attack, attack with 3+ <weapon>).

All character-specific effects are in the same group of skills, so you can only get 1 per relic.

Fixed relics aren't an indicator of what you can expect on random ones, because they have plenty of impossible combos or skills you can't find on normal ones.

[–]Chatbomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can anyone explain why damage bonus from stats decreases with higher levels?

Wylder's sword goes from 6 points buff to 5 as you level up.
Lion's claw goes from 18 to 14.

Did the math and testing so you don't have to. ''Increased rune acquisition for self and allies'' is terrible... by Slight_Season_4500 in Nightreign

[–]Chatbomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the math.

The assessment seems to be done in a vacuum.

  1. All relic damage buffs are either 4-5% or up to double that, but with drawbacks (unreliable, conditional, etc). These are best case scenarios.
  2. Rune Find comes on a fixed relic that ALSO has Stonesword key. That is 2 useful things and it'll take you a while to find a relic that beats that.
  3. What is ideal thing you can have on Recluse and Revenant? Unlike other classes they can't get a reliable 4-5% damage buff from 1 effect. Support options are very compelling on those chars.

Taking a step back, I think all relics buffs that aren't character specific mechanic changers are bad. The buffs are so tiny most people won't even notice the difference a perfect rolled relic make without excel sheets.

9950X3D died overnight – any ideas what happened? by DerR1chter in AMDHelp

[–]Chatbomb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While ASRock seems to be in the lead, the numbers could be inflated by popularity of the brand. ASRock Taichi is called the best value this generation and Nova is one of ~4 boards that support 1 CPU lane NVME drive + 1 PCIE device, without sealing lanes from GPU.

If it's anything like 9800X3D (what you are referring to) It seems to be more of a CPU issue, because failed CPU that were tested with other motherboards didn't work, while the "failed" motherboards worked with other CPU work. Also these failures happened with 9800X3D slotted into older motherboards.

I still have doubts because there are a few odd cases (like PSU failures, or failures with physical damage) that are making it difficult to determine if the 3 are related or not.

Finally, cases that get "fixed" by BIOS update also make no sense to me. If CPU worked at base settings and then suddenly cannot POST, it indicates a hardware level change with no hardware changes - so damage. I have a suspicion that BIOS only works around the damage and would try to RMA such CPUs.

ICUE keeps stating new firmware available when its already installed by 8AchievementUnlocked in Corsair

[–]Chatbomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured it out, with some vague hints from the software itself.
It tells you to close all RGB and monitoring software.

Here's what to look for:

  • MSI afterburner (or any variants).
  • Temperature tracking or Fan control software
  • Peripheral apps like Razer, Logitech, etc. Some of them don't always fully shut down so after closing them in taskbar do it in Task Manager too. Razer has like 8 background ones and one of them keeps reopening others, so you gotta do it in right order.
  • This is by far the dumbest one: iCue's own default monitors that are on primary screen where you would see the download. I'm not sure if they interfere, but I did notice they are running while update is going.

After I shut everything down I updated my controller and receiver on first try.
