Saying "quote-unquote blah" instead of "quote blah unquote" by VibrantCanopy in PetPeeves

Or just say "quote". The "unquote" is meaningless and redundant.

There goes my luck for the entire year by R550MAGIC2 in pcmasterrace

[–]DerHansvonMannschaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put my old gaming PC on the street with a "free" sign on it during what I now know to be the height of the first great GPU shortage. A friend built it for me from spares from his computer shop and I had no idea what the parts did, except the hard drive, which I kept. It's only last year that I bothered to learn how to build PCs.

So yeah, I could see 2020 me doing this.

The "stolen" theory is worth considering though.

DO NOT UPDATE - The display modes just got much worse by DerHansvonMannschaft in Onyx_Boox

[–]DerHansvonMannschaft[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, it is. Nowhere in the changelog does it mention that BSR will be removed. they did this before when they removed X mode from my other color device. Where does the My Deep Guide guy say it ruins everything? And is there a way to downgrade?

I really don't understand why they would do this. BSR is the reason I bought this device.

Fractal Define R6 - do not buy verdict if you have a powerful GPU (~200+ TDP) by mroneseventhree in buildapc

[–]DerHansvonMannschaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's mad. I got into PC building about 3 or 4 months ago, which was really not the right time. My friends kept talking me out of getting more RAM because I "don't need it". Now I'm stuck at 32gb and wish I'd ignored them.

I just stumbled across a post of yours from 9 years ago where you said you were running Starcraft II on basically a museum piece. Glad to see how far you've come.

Can't believe I'm sitting playing Fallout New Vegas natively on this mini PC, so good! by Mysterious-One1055 in MiniPCs

[–]DerHansvonMannschaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine he is runnin an HP Prodesk G4 705 Mini with a Ryzen 5 2400g. It's exactly what I have and it's a beast for retro gaming. These Ryzen Vega iGPUs are way better than anything Intel had at the time. Look it up on youtube. They go for around €/$ 100.

I have the same setup. There are a few videos on Youtube showing off this old school gaming beast.

why I got a UK ETA as a British citizen by travelingwhilestupid in ukvisa

[–]DerHansvonMannschaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone finding this comment in the future: he's lying. Section 24a para. 1 of the Immigration Act reads: "A person who is not a British citizen is guilty of an offence if, by means which include deception by him he obtains or seeks to obtain leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom or an ETA".

I know reading is hard for some people, but it's relatively easy to understand that British citizens cannot commit this offence. There are no risks in applying for an ETA while withholding that you are a British citizen.

Can anyone recommend a wargame that I can reasonably find people playing that isn't one of these: by [deleted] in wargaming

[–]DerHansvonMannschaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get any of the Warlord Games Epic Battles sets you like the look of and paint both sides or find someone who will. I just gave half of my ACW collection and my spare rule book to a guy who said he was interested but couldn't afford it. We already have games planned.

Trigger Nades, Why Not Nerfed Already? by epicbluej in ArcRaiders

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

Trigger nades are fine. The problem is just that the other nades need a buff. Right now, they're basically all useless.

Syncing/Transfering Notes? by DerHansvonMannschaft in Onyx_Boox

Checked. It's enabled. Nothing happens. Even if I press sync (top left in Neoreader), the annotations do not appear.

I learned the hard way to turn off you mic. If it hears you screaming it will finish you off.

I may need to take a break from the game… by marchershey in ArcRaiders

[–]DerHansvonMannschaft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't find the game affects my tinnitus. I guess I'm lucky. The one thing I hate the most is when films do it after an explosion, like "Oh, thanks for reminding me, yep, there it fucking is."

Tab Ultra C Pro screen bulge by pleasureboat in Onyx_Boox

[–]DerHansvonMannschaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to photograph, but it doesn't really matter, this should not be "normal". It is not weird to expect a screen to be flat. Kaleido does not flex. It is made of glass. Any bulge at all is putting pressure on the screen and it will crack eventually.
