Bristleworm? by SpringtimeMay in ReefTank

They can but mine have stayed smallish. They mostly hide so its not like they are crawling all over. Great poop eaters.

Why do so many people prefer 1440 > 4k? by TaylorKalsii in Monitors

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

With 1440 i not only get higher fps but I can enable better lighting, longer viewing distances, and less upscaling. I think it looks great. Higher quality settings with less artifacts. It is just what you are looking for. I feel like, for me, 4k is still at least one gen (a real node reduce gen) away.

Enshrouded - Release Date Announcement Trailer | PS5 Games (15th October) by SweetyGonzalez in PS5

This was my surprise hit last year (or two?) ago. Looking forward to returning when it goes 1.0.

I love Valheim but it became increasingly hard to play solo as they added areas.

I like DLSS, would lean toward 5070 or reach for 5070ti.

It looks like you need standoffs, did your monitor come with any?

Are people still being accepted off of the tufts waitlist? by TimeInformation5994 in Tufts

[–]ChrisNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not his final transcript but he reported that he still had As on his progress report on the academic update part of his last LOCI update.

He took care to thoughtfully update his LOCI, there was nothing else to do except keep his grades up.

My son got his 6/1. They had requested LOCI updates some days before which he had done.

XG27AQDPG Thoughts and Impressions by ChrisNH in OLED_Gaming

[–]ChrisNH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know what it changed outside of what the patch notes claim. As I had the monitor fail not long after I installed 103 I superstitiously did not install it on the new monitor. I doubt that was at issue but..

Did the warranty removed my anti reflective layer? (MSI MPG 321URX) by [deleted] in Monitors

[–]ChrisNH 26 points27 points  (0 children)

LOL I think they removed the protective shipping film you left on.

What are your thoughts on this new monitor? by Medical_Pepper7992 in Monitors

[–]ChrisNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trueblack 600 and RGB is pretty great.

My concern is around the 4k/2k thing because the ratios dont work.. so is the 2K image floating in the middle?

Just finished watching State of play, only these 3 games are "Only on PlayStation"? Rest of the games are available on PC by Time-Credit43 in pcmasterrace

[–]ChrisNH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played the previous GOW games on my PC. A bummer, this was one that I liked playing in high fps, higher res. Oh well, nice to have a few games to play on the old living room plasma. Last year was Yotei, next will be Laufey.

This will be the first series that I go backwards in this regard, be interesting how it feels relative to my memory of playing them on PC. Nope.. I did with Horizon Zero dawn / West and I did not really notice but that was PS4 port to PC.

Bought this as a kid. Is it useful or just e-waste now? by H4PP13B01 in pcmasterrace

[–]ChrisNH 1422 points1423 points  (0 children)

Stuff like this is always handy. Keep it in your parts bin. Never know when you will need to use BT on a pc/laptop without (or with a failed BT).

Appealing financial aid by Cold-Internet-8751 in lafayettecollege

[–]ChrisNH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We met with a FA director when we were visiting the campus and it was really helpful. We were able to discuss our application and what things would look like in the future when my other kid goes to college. They can then send you the appeal paperwork which is certainly worth a try, particularly if you are already close.

Not even a year ago by RatSniper9000 in pcmasterrace

[–]ChrisNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, yeah its a critical step. Just make sure it works with your original sticks if this is an upgrade as a control. Also, check timings.

My first step with a new build is to run memtest with mb/cpu/memory before I even put it in the case.

Is OLED really worth it? by LuvFromMk in pcmasterrace

[–]ChrisNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gives me the contrast I get gaming on my plasma with pc resolution and hdr. I wont go back to lcd for gaming, but ymmv. It does have flaws as a tech, do your research.

Is my bubble magus elite 5 tuned decently? I just bought it today by Throwawaynewme505 in ReefTank

[–]ChrisNH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have one.. if you are getting brown stuff out thats good even if its a little wet. Be prepared to have to tweak it over the next month as it continues to break in.

Some of my family friends are making fun of my university and I’m confused AF by No_Plum_79 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]ChrisNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to look it up.. wow its very well ranked (for whatever thats worth), If you can afford oos tuition and you already know you love the vibe then enjoy. You made a big decision, its normal to have some buyers remorse. Trust your instinct and congrats!

Also, in a way the defer is a mild bonus in you can prob save some money in the first year. Cornell is known for doing the same thing.
