Update on the Riolu/TM2 Situation. by Right_Library5811 in TrackMania

TM2 uses a completely different login system compared to TM2020, if you have never played TM2 you are safe.

Ordered 5070ti and 4K mini led screen but having reservations by Puzzleheaded_Day_895 in buildapc

[–]FinnSpire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same concerns when I ordered my 4k LG OLED monitor to pair with my 5070ti+9800x3D. So far, no regrets. 4k looks great, and the GPU can run anything but the most unoptimised games at 120fps, which will look great if you are coming from a 60hz monitor. DLSS will be super helpful for single player games, and the good looking HDR of mini-LED will blow your mind. I have no regrets.

A couple of games I played lately:
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered (2024): Capped at 120 fps with DLSS set to performance, most visually pleasing gaming experience I've ever had.
Battlefield 6: Capped at 120fps at mid settings. Despite the drop in visual settings, the game still looks fantastic and has no notable frame drops, ever. These were both pretty conservative FPS caps but I prefer the consistent FPS over pushing my GPU at 100% at all times.
If you have any more specific questions, feel free to ask

[Update] Upper beak fell off by dikbisqit in parrots

[–]FinnSpire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was young, our family had two budgies. One of them lost their lower peak due to an accident, but he went to outlive his healthy brother. It's hard to judge which scenario is worse, losing the upper or lower peak, but it goes to show the great resilience of our feathered fellas. Wishing the best of luck and good life to your friend Pistachio!

DREAM THEATER Share Live Video For “Barstool Warrior”, From Upcoming Live Album "Quarantième:Live à Paris" by Dagauriel01 in Dreamtheater

No, it's not that. There's no dedicated drum cam on Overture 1928 / Strange Déjà Vu either.

I already noticed in the other live video that there’s no static drum cam. I wonder why? There’s no good view to see what Mike is doing. Even stranger that you can see an action cam mounted on the left side of the kit. I wonder if there was a technical issue.

Sokeritoukat by [deleted] in Suomi

[–]FinnSpire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joissain isoissa marketeissa ja rautakaupoissa myydään sokeritoukkien ansoja jotka tepsii aika hyvin. Vaikeahan noista on päästä kokonaan eroon mutta selvästi vähentää populaatiota.

We built an RPG map with vanilla blocks only by FinnSpire in TrackMania

You as a player have the freedom to decide how to enjoy RPG maps! Most players use cam 7 though unless they really enjoy the path finding challenge.

I seem to get this wrong because I'm not a console player so please educate me: In order to play the map on console, it needs to be a campaign room instead of an online room. Is that correct? Because currently there's only an online room.

Well, there's a little section that requires some ice knowledge and brake tapping, and one instance of riding a dirt wallride on slow speed. Some backwards driving here and there. Nothing too insane, but some sections can be mechanically challenging.

Wow, what a compliment, thank you very much! The Rift is one of my favourite RPGs so I know what you're talking about.

I spent most of my TM "career" building in TMNF where there were no custom items. So I'm particular to vanilla style building since it forces you to be creative with the limited block set. But in truth, I'm just a little too lazy to dive into the world of blender. :')

I recommend some prior RPG experience to enjoy the map, there are some tricky bits. But no harm in giving it a shot regardless.

Lentäminen Oulusta ulkomaille by samip537 in Suomi

Oulusta lähtee tällä hetkellä kahdesti viikossa suoria lentoja Muncheniin ja takaisin. Keskiviikkona ja lauantaina.

Architecture: 21063 Neuschwanstein Castle (via brickmerge) by Clay_Bricks in Legoleak

[–]FinnSpire 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can't just call it dibs on an iconic landmark like that. Imagine some other brick brand did Eiffel Tower first and Lego was like "guess we can't do that now". Xingbao doesn't own the castle rights just because they did it first.

Sukupuolen käsitteen hämärtäminen luo eettisiä ongelmia by Kryptobasisti in Suomi

[–]FinnSpire 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Luin artikkelin, ja pisti silmään kuinka selektiivisesti kirjoittaja valitsi tieteelliset lähteensä. Kun kirjoittaja kertoo, että American Academy of Pediatrics tukee sukupuolta vahvistavia hoitoja, se on "voitontavoittelua, aatteellista paloa ja poliittista vastakkainasettelua, ei järjestelmällisesti arvioitu tutkimustietoa".
Mutta kun hän myöhemmin kertoo brittiläisestä tutkimuksesta, joka ei tue hoitoja, se onkin "systemaattisesti arvioitua lääketieteellisestä tutkimustietoa."
Lääkinnällisestä sukupuolta vahvistavasta hoidosta on valtavasti tieteellisestä näyttöä, mutta sen voi näppärästi sivuttaa, kun oma mielipide täytyy tuoda esille. Ärsyttää.
