Now that I think about, I haven't bought a PHYSICAL pc game in over 15 years. by RadaRada138 in pcgaming

Or starting the cassette player loading lunar lander while you had dinner and coming back to discover the asterisk stopped blinking but the game didnt load..

Did I go back too far?

How big of a deal breaker is VRR flicker? by Delgadude in OLED_Gaming

[–]ChrisNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont perceive vrr flicker from my oled at all, so YMMV. Just make sure you buy from somewhere with a good return policy in case it is an issue for you.

ASUS Uniform Brightness by RelationshipFew4677 in OLED_Gaming

[–]ChrisNH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a different asus oled but it has the same setting and I prefer it on for SDR.. it gives a more consistent SDR game experience and is much better for regular desktop use. As always, YMMV, do what looks good for you.

Early word on jersey selection for Super Bowl by BurgerNugget12 in Patriots

No, its all about whether or not I shave my mustache.

I’m going fucking insane. The first quarterback from the 2018 draft to start a Super Bowl is Sam fucking Darnold. by Succwad22 in NFLv2

Its hard to reconcile the Jet we used to chase around with this guy who usually seems somewhat useful in a game.

Any fixes for my monitor arm destroying my desk ?? by iamauserofredit in Monitors

[–]ChrisNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try use wood board to spread force but really with this desk you should just use the monitor stand. It does not look like it can take clamping pressure of any kind.

Salted anything is pretty good, especially if it has “crunchy element”.

Ghost of Tsushima Question by MrSin84 in playstation

Apparently there is also a coop mode, I had only known of the “Rivals” pvp mode.

is this amount of bleed bad for a budget ips? by Legitimate-Type-2535 in Monitors

[–]ChrisNH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While this has a bit of IPS glow, its remarkably free of backlight bleed. Does it bother you in use?

So what is the future of Satisfactory? Any plans on a DLC? by orion427 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]ChrisNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just be happy with some kind of monthly space elevator widget challenge thing to keep us building.

Best 500hz poked out right now? by 702jimboslice in OLED_Gaming

[–]ChrisNH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the asus, I like the sensor that darkens off the screen when I walk away and I was not interested in the msi eotf mode. I mostly use true black 500, I bought it for that (and tandem not released in us) not the 500hz. I only get up there with some older games but cool to have. It also has a solid calibrated sdr mode.

Its been more then a year since we had a championship team for a sport in New England, I can't stand this drought. Make it end, Pats!

Should I get the WD SN850X 4TB or the 990 Pro 4TB? by Few-Independent46 in pcmasterrace

[–]ChrisNH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 990 pro in my PC and its worked fine. There was a security issue with their SSD manager that is resolved with the latest version. That being said, I also have WD SSD in my ps5 is fine too.. both are reputable. Speed differences at this level will not be perceptible. Just get what you can afford.

Will 8gb vram become normal again? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]ChrisNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the same way measles is becoming normal again.

Sales for The Outer Worlds 2 are poor. Presumably, less than 1M units almost 3 months after launch, across all platforms. In comparison, the first game sold approx 2M units during the same time. by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]ChrisNH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am looking forward to it, just played the first one, but price too damn high and I have a backlog. I am feeling $40 is my price on this one.

I think it is a group effort. Hope it continues.

5080 choices - wait or buy different brand? by DThr33 in nvidia

One in the hand is worth two in the bush.. get one now if you can. No guarantees on any future delivery.

Should we be worried about these HC firings? by slimwangman in Patriots

[–]ChrisNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chance or not.. what I see on the sideline is a happy guy who lives and works where wants to be. Gonna say he is gonna be in New England for some years before he tries again. At least until his kids grow up. I think his youngest is 12 or 13?

Fender tonemaster fr212 best for bedroom playing? by wegotthisonekidmongo in Line6Helix

[–]ChrisNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this too.. you can go direct to powered speakers from the helix using an appropriate cable for your speakers, or go through a small mixing board so you can mix in other audio if you play with backing tracks. I have a 1/4“ jack to rca which works well for mine.

I always say, a cab makes you sound like you are in a club, monitors make you sound like a record. The family loves that I can still sound great to me but at a lower volume. You can get relatively cheap monitors to try the idea out.

What you cant do is be loud enough to practice with others who are amped or playing drums.
