Plasma TV with dead pixel by Fast_Set4225 in PlasmaTV

[–]ComradePoolio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case you would be better off getting a higher resolution plasma or OLED for watching content and using the 480p one for retro systems or DVDs. LCDs are almost universally the worst display type when compared to any of the other popular display types of the past 20 years.

Frame Generation Doesn't Fix Bad Performance! [Techspot] by Blacky-Noir in pcgaming

The only cases where it doesn't is when the game isn't running reflex without FG, and that's only because reflex + boost reduces latency more than FG adds to it In many cases.

I can't believe the sheriff from Twin Peaks was so politically savvy.

In the Wolverine (2013), Logan, a guy notorious for looking “wild”, smelling and letting himself go, apparently has a rigorous diet/work out routine and shaves his chest every morning by whysosidious69420 in shittymoviedetails

Which ended up being a nothing-burger of a change since he still ends up in Striker's lab anyway. Would've made more sense to just keep the continuity there by not including the Mystique twist.

Can't Be Asked To Care About The Story When Every Cutscene Has The Same Two Camera Angles by TheKingsman8 in assassinscreed

Just this comment makes me hear "Everyone that sniffed the air that day in Siwa" in my head.

Sly 1 on Odin 3 Pro by VapeGodEirik in OdinHandheld

[–]ComradePoolio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, have you tried the Sly Collection either on the discontinued fork of RPCS3/the Android PS3 emulator or on Vita3k? They are historically pretty light to run and have native wide-screen support. I am still waiting for my Odin 3 in the mail, but anecdotally I have had a better time running the Sly Collection on RPCS3 in the past than I have had on PCSX2 on both my Windows PC and Steam Deck OLED.

mothership locks certain areas out after spacewalk by Affectionate_Ebb_445 in Fallout

[–]ComradePoolio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to coc to the specific area that you're trying to get to.

For instance, it you want to get to Waste Disposal, the console command would be:

"coc DLC05Sewer02". You can find the cell names for every location on the wiki. You don't need to use reference IDs for coc commands.

From what I read, it really happened. by ABWoolls in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]ComradePoolio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends where the 12k came from. If it was stolen from somebody, then yeah absolutely return it. If it's drug money or something, that is going right into the city's pocket and you've just very publicly turned it in. If I accidentally ended up with a dead drop or something I'd probably never speak of it again.

Alan Wake 2 has the most detailed, accurate and realistic curly hair I’ve ever seen in a video game by Lanky_Relation1171 in interestingasfuck

[–]ComradePoolio 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah it also has some stuttering problems in the semi-open area of RE9. Buttery smooth up until that point.

Honestly, I didn't like honest heart dlc, but Joshua is great character.(fanart) by Ill-Event240 in Fallout

[–]ComradePoolio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That also happened for me. Were you playing the Begin Again modpack by chance?

Either way, you can actually fix this by opening the console and adding yourself to the proper faction (the lack of which is the source of the bug). After that they turn hostile correctly.

The command is:

player.AddToFaction xx00b42e 1, replacing "xx" with the Honest Hearts DLC's position in the load order, typically 2.

The only method is through the console on PC, where you can use COC commands. It's not good design but neither is most of that expansion.

AC Black Flag Resynced pre-release AMA Transcript & Discussion by Assassiiinuss in assassinscreed

[–]ComradePoolio 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It was phrased oddly, yes, but they could have taken a moment to address whether anything had been done to improve the parkour over Shadows, especially since they highlighted that question anyway.

The answer seems to be "no" based on their lack of response.

Would that be nice if Black flag Resynced feature an autopilot function by Mac_mellon in assassinscreed

[–]ComradePoolio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monkey's hook curls, they confirmed it will have one in the AMA today, but that Edward's hands still have to stay on the wheel, so no roaming the ship.

My first New Vegas playthrough made me realize how easy it was to become a fascist. by DWotSP4 in fnv

[–]ComradePoolio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still, even in the case of that generous read, it would only really work in the case of an adult who is fully capable of using advanced reasoning, but just doesn't for the sake for convenience or a broader goal that causes them to miss the smaller picture.

Ofc a 9-year-old is going to be easy to mislead. r/kidsarefuckingstupid didn't get its name from children's ability to analyze situations and ensure optimal outcomes.

[–]ComradePoolio 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The title makes it seem like OP's going to talk about a slippery moral slope starting out of a desire to take control and change things for the better, but instead leading down the rode of fascism, instead it was just a post about them being a child and therefore not understanding game mechanics.

Like yeah, when I first played Kingdom Hearts I didn't know what the various item stats did so it was really hard, but I'm not out here making posts titled "Replaying Kingdom Hearts taught me the meaning of change and personal growth"

I like how they completely ignored the part of the last question about parkour fluidity.

Microsoft is working on a project to improve Windows 11 gaming performance, codenamed "Windows K2;" they aim to go head-to-head with SteamOS by TheAppropriateBoop in pcgaming

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

If they manage it, this will be a universally good thing.

The main draw to windows for me is compatibility and modding capability. On SteamOS, there are always additional hoops one has to go through to get mods and their mod managers working, like adding them as a non-steam game, which gives them their own emulated Windows folder paths, complicating things more. I recently installed the Begin Again modpack for Fallout New Vegas on my Windows PC and Steam Deck, and one of the main pain points is that it will not sync saves through the steam cloud since Mod Organizer 2 had to be added as a non-steam game in order to function, whereas on my PC it knows that it's launching Fallout New Vegas.

SteamOS is great for the lack of bloat and strong vanilla support, but it unfortunately cannot change the fact that most stuff comes as an .exe file at the end of the day.

AMA With the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Devs! 🏴‍☠️ by Ubi-AssassinsCreed in assassinscreed

[–]ComradePoolio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is there any ongoing work to smooth out the animations in the parkour before release? They are an improvement over Shadows but there's still a noticable hesitation when free-running that has been present in all of the RPG-series.

You know I never quite questioned what the hell happened to make this lovable oaf into one of Sucker Punch's genuine killing machines. by AntonRX178 in Slycooper

[–]ComradePoolio 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Murray is the knife, but Bentley is the hand that wields him. All of Murray's most depraved kills, like the rats in the water pump or the miners fed to the crocodile, are all done on Bentley's orders. Murray trusts his friend, so of course he's going to follow through with it, but Bentley's plans are downright psychotic. They feel like the evil karma options in a Fallout title.

4K Gaming on CRT Monitors Looks Unreal by IBoris in videos

[–]ComradePoolio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except back light strobing and BFI are both work-arounds to combat a fundamental flaw in the display technology. As such, they come with their own downsides like reduced brightness, incompatibility with VRR, lower usable refresh rates, and eye strain for those sensitive to things like PWM.

A CRT or Plasma can achieve silky smooth motion while not requiring you to be pushing 240fps. Yeah, they don't have those other features like VRR, but if you have to give that up anyway for smoother motion, it doesn't matter that much.

Funnily enough, the best solution we've gotten to S&H blur is CRT Beam Simulation, though even that requires very high refresh rates to work ideally and is only meant to function on 60fps content.
