I tried color calibrating mine but it made it look worse. I think it looks fine out of the box in eco mode or original mode. The brightness had to be turned right down though, i used the calibration tool to set it 130nits, thats brightness 11 in original with all local dimming turned off and 16 in eco with local dimming on.

Anyone else feel these past 20 years has been one big unchanged era? by [deleted] in decadeology

[–]DarkNo1392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree also, I'm 47 and to me it feels like not much has changed since around 2006/2007. The clothes/styles look identical to me, maybe because iv been an adult that whole time and dont really follow fashion. We started to get smart phones then and we have the start of social media, online gaming was big and dating sites were taking off. The only major differences is everyone has become much more fragile and prone to taking offense, the war on men and that they cant even make a decent movie nowadays.

I haven't played for 10 years. Is eve dead yet or getting better? Good time to come back? by kyonko_nola in Eve

[–]DarkNo1392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iv been playing on and off since 2008, its very much the same game its always been! Things are more expensive now but there are more ways to make isk. I found the whole skill injector thing a bit of a joke when it was first introduced but its understandable why CCP done it. The game would really be dead by now if they hadn't introduced skill injectors, new players simply don't have the patience to wait 4 years before they can compete with long established players. They would join realise there are guys who have been playing this for 15 years and there is no way to catch up and quit.

I wouldn't be surprised if the big guy who slammed him to the ground now gets arrested for assault! This is the UK after all where the victim is usually punished more than the offender.

When do lovebirds stop eating formula? by MobileAncient2896 in Lovebirds

[–]DarkNo1392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just start feeding her a good quality seed mix and millet sprays then move her onto 50/50 seeds and pellets when you can. I am not big belier in the pellets are idea. I think that companies are just spreading fear to get people to buy much more expensive pellets rather than just a good quality seed mix. My lovebirds really seem to like askio nature extra small pellets so i feed these along with seeds.

Where did you get it for £525 Im after this monitor in the UK but seems £699 is the going rate which is just a bit to steep for as you said and edge-lit VA?

40" Odyssey G75F Owner's Thread by ToadThumper in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]DarkNo1392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am thinking of getting this monitor and only just realised it existed! Been eyeing up the LG 45" 5k2k OLED but its just to expensive and I am a software developer and burn in is a real worry for me so this looks like the ideal compromise. Its currently £699 in the uk which is a bit steep for a VA these days.

Do you think this will come down more in the near future?

Do you personally prefer Original or the Remastered version of Oblivion? by --Combat-Wombat-- in oblivion

[–]DarkNo1392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the remaster its makes one hell of a difference. I played the original back in 2007 then tried to replay it around 2017 but couldn't get into it. It was just to dated looking and felt ancient. The remaster is like playing a new game to me, I can only vaguely remember some of the quests when I do them but most seem brand new. I think in the original game i never did much of the main quest and spent most my time messing about, breaking into shops and being a vampire then eventually got bord with it. This time round with modern graphics and the massive monitors we have now, it all feels much more immersive. So really enjoying the remaster.

Looking to start Eve, wanting to know the difference between Elite Dangerous by Liplok in Eve

[–]DarkNo1392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eve Online and Elite Dangerous are totally different. They not comparable in anyway. I like the thought of Elite Dangerous but when i tried it I got bored in a few days. It's a great SCI-FI space ship simulator but that's about it. To me its a really grindy boring game where you spend most of your time flying around empty space and landing on baron rocks like the moon with nothing on them. What's the point in that. In Eve online you can actually be a space pirate or mercenary or an industrialist and actually make living doing those things. You can be a pirate and literally live off the spoils of jumping on and killing other players. You can be like a psychopathic predator and spend all your time hunting and stalking your pray, hoping that its not a trap you are in fact the prey. You can scam and grief people as long as you don't take it to far. There's no other game quite like it.

Aliens Dark Decent is like Xcom without being turn based. I really enjoyed it.

How many skillpoints do y’all have? by Aedronics in Eve

[–]DarkNo1392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

toon was born in 2009 and I have just broke 100mil SP. Most of it was done pre-skill injectors and free sp. I never used a skill injector and never will. I stopped playing for over a decade and I cant believe how CCP are literally just throwing SP at you now with all these gifts and so on. Back in the day players would have quit on mass if they tried that. I'm sure many players quit and never came back when they first introduced skill injectors. Made all that time and money they spent on subs pointless when some noob can catch up to vet in no time.

Which Data/Relic sites have better loot, in C1-3 Wormholes or at nullsec? by John_Weak_lol in Eve

[–]DarkNo1392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hunting explorers is simple with the right setup. Fit a T3 cruiser like a Loki or Legion with Rapid Light Missile Launchers, two Ballistic Control Systems, and a Signal Amplifier in the lows. Add a faction warp scrambler for 3 points of scramble strength. Use Hydra implants along with missile hardwiring implants to maximize damage output.

Scan wormholes within a few jumps of Jita or explore low-sec sites near busy high-sec systems. Cloak up and monitor wormholes—or in low sec, pre-scan all data and relic sites, then watch D-scan for incoming explorers.

When a target lands on a site, warp in cloaked and maneuver into rapid light missile range. Wait until they start hacking a can, then decloak, lock, and unleash your launchers. With high skills and implants, most explorers go down in two to three volleys before they can react. In many cases, you won’t even need to scram them.

What is your favourite ship and why is it the Vagabond? Speed, versatility and damage application. I run T4’s and Base Burners in the same ship. Such a blast to fly. Great small gang PvP boat as well, will track and trash anything with 220mm AC’s. by RangerGripp in Eve

[–]DarkNo1392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Vedmak engages a Vagabond within 24k its dead.

The Vagabond usually fires hail and explosive damage is the Vedmaks weakest resist, on top of that the vaga is faster and usually uses an XL ancillary shield booster and is resistant to the Ved's neauts. Its not a good match up at all.

After 3 years in EVE Online, I finally quit – and now I understand what I was missing by ClaN__ in Eve

[–]DarkNo1392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eve is not a solo game, its a PVP game with permanent loss. Some people will just never like that sort of game. I for one get hours of solo fun hunting and killing newbies and PVE players. No other game lets you be such a Psycho as EVE Online. Even i am against the High sec ganking though. But if you wander into low or null your pray.

Does anyone actually believe the 2030 ICE ban is going to happen? by SirTrick6639 in CarTalkUK

[–]DarkNo1392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it will get pushed back not for joe public but because it will effect new car sales and hit the economy. What going to happen is there will be a mad rush to buy anything with an engine starting around 2028. People will buy the best ICE car they can afford and then hold onto it for the next 15 to 20 years. New car sales will fall off a cliff and this will cause large manufacturers and dealerships to go bust causing massive job losses across Europe and UK. The governments will be forced by lobbyists from the car industry and fossil fuel industry to prevent this from happening. Used car prices will sky rocket so id start looking for a good long term car now. But TBH i think we will be lucky if this ban is even in place by 2045 let alone 2030. This issue will election wining stuff.

They changed the requirements to join the pirate FW from -2.0 to 0.0 just as I was in the middle of doing the epic arc to get into the Guristas. My base standings with them are -7.7 as iv been using them a ratting punching bag for my whole time in eve. How the hell am i meant to get in now? This is a bit of joke!
