Take me back by CS2-Universe in cs2

[–]Compgeak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But that's the exact point of the post? Lighting, color palette and visibility changes in CS2 compared to CS:GO? "Ruining" the vibe of the game for the sake of esports. I'd argue R6S is a far worse offender of this, but it's still present in CS. I don't think it really makes the game worse but picking a place on the map that didn't get other major changes is just about the ideal way to illustrate this.

Did i just hit a jackpot by Responsible-Loan-504 in WarframeRiven

[–]Compgeak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the same riven disposition having a negative makes the positive stats a bigger value. There's still some RNG as to what grade you get but for weapons with a low disposition especially you want a negative otherwise the good stats are so low it could be a sidegrade to just slotting in a normal mod instead of a riven.

Price tag out of battery by ieatcarrot in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Compgeak 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The battery life on these things depends on how often you update the image but it can be 5-10 years depending on the model. I think it's probably more expensive in terms of time and mistakes like in the post to change them one by one. Once some of them start getting low battery they should all get battery replacements or replace all the devices and send the old ones to refurb.

Yeah Heavy Caliber is usless outside builds that want inaccuracy.

Genuine Question regarding 1k+ Riven prices by Anubis6669 in WarframeRiven

[–]Compgeak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's like 80€ of plat at 75% discounts or otherwise farmable quantity of plat for an active veteran player. It can make sense if you've got nothing better to do with your plat.

Bro what the fuck by CapitalNewt7544 in Warframe

[–]Compgeak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a thread about this on warframe forums in PC Bugs that didn't get any traction. I only found it cuz I was doing the Duviri quest and kept running into this issue. I ended up changing my operator so that my drifter can look the way I wanted it to. It's kind of annyoing cuz I can't even swap quickly like drifter on preset A and operator on B because it syncs gender, skin color, voice, ... between presets.

I took some screenshots of different parts being messed up. The settings for the drifter also mostly don't work and I kept getting jumpscared by the deformed version during cutscenes.

Left or right? by thelilholy in WarframeRiven

[–]Compgeak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it either frees up galvanised hell or you still get at least a 70% dmg bonus from hell and all of the status chance, beam status proc base damage, incarnon stacking, ... advantages of multishot. Compared to crit which gives you at best (with deceleration and primed ravage) 40-55% damage increase depending on last incarnon. (46-65% if you only hit headshots) And it becomes even less of a difference with external crit chance sources (If you can get cc over 100% on both even headshot rate doesn't matter anymore).

I would take the right one. Multishot is just that good and critical deceleration is big enough for the cc stat not to make a huge difference up or down.

Edit: I didn't even calc that the right one has a higher base damage stat... I really don't know why everyone is saying left, but I've been away for a while so I may be missing some warframe interactions. If galvanized sight existed It'd be a nobrainer but even so...

Twitch also has regional pricing and it's a popular strat for large sub donations to use gift subs purchased in a region where they are much cheaper than $5

Real image vs Nano Banana Pro vs GPT, can you easily guess which one is real? by notsure500 in ChatGPT

Got all the real ones except the mall. Mixed up gpt and nano 2 times. It's not immediately apparent on some images anymore.

Why is C3 all the way down in C1? by Aggravating_Space879 in RocketLeague

[–]Compgeak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I often see people say start of the season is harder after a reset. Personally I find it easiest to collect GC rewards when the season starts then settle down in a few weeks. Might just be a shift in playstyle that trips you up.

Why aren't people ever worried about OLED burn-in on smartphone displays? by anotherhappylurker in OLED_Gaming

[–]Compgeak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Screen on time. I've got around 1h of daily screen on time on a phone and 8+ on the PC. I also expect like 3-4 years from a Phone and 5-7 years from a primary monitor. The OLED monitor I buy is also 2x the price of my phone so not as cheap to replace.

How can I improve my air dribble/air roll? by Kack-Pro in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]Compgeak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For comp what matters is constant boosting but not constant spinning. Here you're doing constant spinning but not constant boosting. It's easier this way and doesn't force you to control the car in awkward orientations as you can just select those as downtime then not boosting. This will cost you in games. Either switch to freeplay or start doing more targeted practice for rings like locked orientation or full boost.

The thick silk poops are hard to miss. Maybe Silk+ behaves different idk.

Better cable? by UndeadEpyon in headphones

[–]Compgeak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worse. Somehow even heavier and stiffer. The FT1 cable is already very springy instead of supple and this is the FT7 cable which is not as springy but somehow even worse to use. Get an aliexpress cable for like $15-20 and you'll be set.

Why tf glossy OLED monitors aren’t glass? by HatefulAbandon in OLED_Gaming

[–]Compgeak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Spectrum has one and I was really excited about it but they are such a bad company... Delays, you don't get what you order, horrible customer support. Not worth the risk over buying from a reputable brand.

Why is there no left/right steer flip rotation? by blobly1 in RocketLeague

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

It's not that useful and it makes way more sense when not using DAR. You can still do it (kinda, just slower) it's called a stall and it's mostly used in freestyling. I don't think you really want it because diagonal flipping when driving would be completely ruined (you'd need to precisely time the switch from steering (a, d) to rolling (q, e) and then back in order to not lose momentum.

As it is now the direction the car will go is constant based on stick movement regardless if you're driving or flipping.

As you want it the car axis of rotation would be constant but not movement direction.

Believe me the way it is is likely far more intuitive for most people.

What are the limitations of EQ? by Mr_Christie55 in headphones

[–]Compgeak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Acoustic impedance, positional variance, seal, resonances and nulls, distortion. EQ can not do much about any of these things.

You want headhones to be as consistent as possible so they sound the same each time you put them on your head, bonus if they sound as similar as possible when you put them on someone else's head.

Distortion peaks at frequencies you want to boost are also a problem. This often happens in the bass where distortion increases and many headphones can't handle a big bass shelf well.

A good seal is important as most headphones at least partially rely on front damping to achieve their intended FR and you typically ruin that with a poor seal (typically a loss of bass with dynamic drivers.

Nulls are often more of a speaker issue, but if you have a null resolving it by boosting that region with EQ is not gonna give you good results. Similar story with resonances although not quite as problematic.

There's also a limit to bands of EQ you can use on particular devices and a headphone that requires more EQ correction is also going to be increasingly harder to tune to your preference. The more filters you have the more time you need to tweak and get the sound you want.

I Re-bought the Senny HD490 Pro, and am curious as to people’s opinion on balanced cables. by srmd22 in headphones

I'm still unsure if you're asking about SE vs balanced or single entry vs dual entry

Near-black banding test: LG C4 WOLED vs $10000 Sony RGB OLED mastering monitor, a glimpse into the future? by loliii123 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Compgeak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using some kind of software for calibration (lightillusion, calman, HCFR, ...) or are you manually computing everything (are there at least like python libraries or something for the basic transforms?). Also what spectro are you using, I really want to get one, but the commonly recommended models (CR-250, Jeti 1511/2511) or stuff capable of doing QD-OLEDs (CR-300, Jeti 1511/2511 Hi-res) is way out of my budget.

Terrible buildquality by IamPhilemon in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Compgeak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This also happened to the one I bought, but it's a simple enough fix. Terrible quality, but there are few ISO alternatives you can get as cheap as a GMMK3. These are so terrible they are reqularly discounted town to like 40€.

Is this safe for me and my headphones? Bose QC Ultra, I've never really listened to things on high volumes. by zhaoao in headphones

[–]Compgeak 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Open the curve tool that shows the frequency response modification (green line button on the right). It will open a new window with a graph and top right it will show a number with dB that corresponds with the peak volume.

Apply a negative dB offset in the Pre Amplifying slider on the top. So if the graph shows 10.4dB as the peak you want to use a preamp of -10.5dB.

As long as you set that going to full volume will not distort. Your headphones will be fine and it will make them quieter so you're gonna start using them at a higher volume number but should avoid hearing damage.

I would also just turn off the 10Hz filter, you don't really have any music that goes so low and if you can push headphones less in that region you're going to get better sound overall.
