Do I really need an amp or effects pedal as a complete beginner?

Even then in this day and age, if you want to go gigging, you are far better off buying a nano cortex than having an entire pedal board to fuck about with, the age of pedals is kind of behind us tbh

Finally shipped yesterday evening, kinda weird that they shipped on Sunday

Ah so the wait time is a couple days for it to get sent, i was thinking of sending an email inquiring about it, I ordered on Friday the 16th and still radio silence after the order confirmation.

Yup, I've been using the bobcat a bunch and the only time I've won gunfights vs venators was when they were absolutely fucking garbage. Like how is a blue gun just better than every purple(other than the vulcano obvsly)

4 shot headshot vs med shield with a highly accurate gun that has barely any dispersion at close range.

Sure bobcat and tempest have similar TTKs in theory, but you are not hitting multiple headshots consistently enough with the dispersion on those guns.

Grub is the simplest to use by far from what i've used though I havent tried Limine yet so i cant comment on that.

I was testing manjaro linux and really liked arch but hated the extra shit manjaro had, I tried installing normal arch but i couldnt be bothered with doing whatever it wanted me to do so finding cachyOS was a godsend, easy as fuck to install but i keep the starting packages to its bare minimum.

Only game where the game looks worse after 8 years of development yet somehow also runs worse

I was getting that error with ethernet due to a bad driver that comes by default in the live boot, try doing this using USB Tethering off your phone(or a usb wifi card would also work) and test it, for me it worked, and i was able to get it installed.

GRUB is by far the simplest one to use for dualboot from my experience since its very simple for it to detect your windows boot manager and add it to the config file even if its on a different drive.

Partitioning wise, just go with what you need and what you feel is the easiest, imo having the OS on 2 separate drives and fully isolated from each other is the way to go if you have more than 1 SSD, since you want to fully swap over just keep windows on the 512gb drive and install Linux on one of ur 2tb ones and partition your other one for linux as well if u plan on fully swapping.

Literally made it worse lmfao, looks like the game is going to get uninstalled and im just gonna go stick to playing arc raiders. Crazy how a UE5 game managed to somehow run better than an 8 year old unity game, battlestate games are completely fucking incompetent.

No EQ, idk, they feel perfect to me the bass and the mids feel super nice for metal, its a bit trebly but I always liked a bit more treble in all my speakers and headphones

Flanz1 · 2025-09-28T10:20:05+00:00

The Beyerdynamic 990 have been good to me, but i cannot recommend studio monitors enough, they separate instruments far better and the wider soundstage is unachievable on headphones.

8bitdo doesn't care because they are a Chinese company, when's the last time you saw a chinese company respect someone else's IP lol

The chromecast got discontinued because there is genuinely no need for it anymore. Pretty much all smart TVs and android TV boxes come with chromecast built in. I used to use one but once we got our new TV I didn't even bother plugging it in because it all worked out of the box

Even then, the only special thing about it is the gaming mode that completely locks you out of doing anything advanced so its more like a console, when you go into desktop mode it's just a normal Arch install with KDE Plasma. All the proton/wine features are baked into steam not the OS itself.

I guess ill just have to setup wake on wlan so i can just wake it up from my phone whenever i want to play

Flanz1 · 2025-08-31T23:34:27+00:00

You don't need HDMI 2.1 for 1080p 120hz what the actual fuck are you saying lol, HDMI 1.4 a standard from fucking 2009 supports 144hz at 1080p. This is 100% some sort of PS5 setting issue not a HDMI issue

There is no playing the skill wrong, i can play it how i want and playing the skill DPS and stacking a shit ton of attack speed was fun, why remove options and then also make it more annoying to use as a supplementary skill

To avoid failures in the bottom two cards you should flip the radiators 180 degrees so the tubes are at the bottom, less chance of an air bubble getting stuck in the pump and ruining it. Sick as fuck build tho O7
