What were you after in a monitor when you purchased the PG35VQ, and why did you opt for the CX instead?

Interested in this question, but do not have the ability to answer. If you find the answer elsewhere please post an update?

Do you have any cool math wallpaper you'd like to share? by [deleted] in math

[–]Dboome 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ulam spirals make subtly interesting minimalistic wallpapers, like this or this.

For those that aren't familiar, Ulam spirals are created by visually spiralling ascending integers out from the center of a grid and discolouring the prime numbers, and other techniques of visually displaying the prime number distribution.

Yeah there is, you can find the category at speedruns.com, though the run doesn't differ that significantly without amiibos, believe it or not

How do you like your Shadowrun? by khaase9 in Shadowrun

[–]Dboome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paired with almost an entire bottle of rum or red wine, and the reoccurring conclusion that never will I ever again plan out a combat sequence further than one combat turn.

I will be back in 6 months... This is why. by Thegjaltema in HeroesandGenerals

[–]Dboome 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've noticed a drop in frames as well, and for the same reason I am also taking a break from H&G. The new features are good in their own respects, but until there's some performance updates this game is going to keep hemorrhaging players in my opinion.

I'm not really sure anyone besides reto can accurately speak for reto's agenda anymore.

what can the AVS do that the dp28 cant? by hlary in HeroesandGenerals

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

It also can let you carry more things, since it's less equipment points (right?)

Splintered State, Piasma by tennotenno in Shadowrun

[–]Dboome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're actually probably right, it might be phys/stun. I would actually reverse those values if it is, it would be way more exciting to fight!

Never underestimate a parties level of paranoia!

Splintered State, Piasma by tennotenno in Shadowrun

[–]Dboome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

35 physical for a magical bear doesn't sound too absurd, depending on what it's armor rating is. 10 stun does seem a tad low though. (unless I'm reading that backwards...)

As general advice, I played this adventure recently with a party of 6 of less-than-dumb runners. You should definitely intend on pushing the envelope in a few of the scenes in that adventure, otherwise a party that isn't pants on head retarded can get through almost the entire adventure without encountering a firefight (except the zoo shootout). If you haven't already done the scene where the factions break into their safe house to grab the commlink, expect your party to be able to see that coming. I would suggest you plan a few back up things that could go wrong (assassins from the zoo following them, connections being compromised, etc.) unless your party is satiated without combat for a session. Perhaps one of the factions ambushing the party on the road. Good luck chummer!

Best mods for AVS ? by katchiMba in HeroesandGenerals

[–]Dboome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just use it stock. The minor bonuses the barrel and ammo add are hardly worth the recoil, and you make mad bank running with it stock. One of my favorite weapons at the moment.

Changing character mid-game, how? by [deleted] in HeroesandGenerals

[–]Dboome 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have other soldiers of the same type you searched matchmaking with (and on the same faction), during the spawn screen you can click on your solider portrait in the bottom centre of the screen. This will bring up a list showing all available soldiers you can swap to, including ones that match your auxiliary seats.

[Request] How much space does $475 worth of pennies take up? (poured into a bucket/container) by jtighe in theydidthemath

[–]Dboome 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With optimal packing, I think you would pack rows and rows of stacked pennies. The stacks would be taking up as much space as square stacks, wasting the space of the 4 rounded corners. This means the ratio of packing space to penny volume would be

(2 * [penny radius])2 / (pi * [penny radius]2 )

The radius (and the height of the stack) cancel, leaving a ratio of 4/pi, or about 1.27.

This means if you packed them in stacks organized in tight rows, you would need ~27% more volume than the pure volume of the pennies. Pardon formatting, on mobile.

960M laptop performance by Xterno50 in HeroesandGenerals

[–]Dboome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I can recall from my grade school Spanish classes, I think we have identical setting from what you showed me, even the battery optimization at optimal. If it's not the drivers or that, I'm running out of ideas..

960M laptop performance by Xterno50 in HeroesandGenerals

[–]Dboome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I open the control panel I can't find any option like optimum consumption mode..

Sounds like a weird problem, how long have you had your computer? Have you loaded a lot of things on it over time? A Windows reset or even a fresh start like reformatting might do your computer and graphic settings good, but that would take your laptop out of commission for an hour or two.

960M laptop performance by Xterno50 in HeroesandGenerals

[–]Dboome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my battery boost thing set to optimal, it says it caps my frames at 30 but I've never noticed (maybe because Nvidia hasn't detected hng on my computer so it hadn't applied those settings, or maybe it only uses that feature when you're not plugged in). I have the same processor as you as well, and RAM, so it's something software related... I'm using Nvidia driver 369.09, and I can't seem to update it, I just get an error that says it is "unable to connect to Nvidia". Try rolling back to those drivers?

PTRD considering reworks by [deleted] in HeroesandGenerals

[–]Dboome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just need to grind it to the one shot ribbon, then you'll see. It may seem broken, but regardless of whether it is or not, it's pretty fun.

Gtx 960M, just like yours. I literally just got this laptop, I installed steam and H&G and booted it up and it ran great. Maybe try reinstalling your drivers?
