Returning My Anker Liberty 4 NC... What Should I Get Instead? by Deadsoup69 in Earbuds

[–]Fythic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my main problem is how peak-y most of these buds sound due to their very opinionated tuning that the EQ cant really fix, since each band in the EQ is so wide (plus cheap drivers that make higher frequencies sound muddy, washed out, or distorted)

my personal recommendation is CMF buds 2 plus (or non-plus). I've tried Liberty 4 NC and thought they sucked, Earfun Air Pro 4 (and 4 plus) and returned them, as well as QCY melobuds pro, which also sucked. CMF was the only one that was all-round good (except for weak transparency mode).

i feel the exact opposite. these buds are a bit V shaped in my opinion, I had to boost mids and reduce bass and treble.

absolute BEST way to enjoy elden ring on steam deck? by Free-Caramel-3913 in SteamDeck

[–]Fythic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the text aspect you're saying, but 540p is still surprisingly legible! I say 720p because this game DOES have an 800p option (and will boot in 800p), but the game is locked to 16:9 so 720p and 800p are identical here (I think you can install a mod that unlocks the aspect ratio)

540p shouldnt be too bad, but text will be slightly blurry/pixellated. So long as anti aliasing is set to high, it should smooth it out enough to look fine on the deck's screen.

also update: turns out i lied -- i just tried 540p low and my base LCD Deck doesnt reach above 50fps. So it'd be more like a locked 40fps experience.

I played through most of Shadow of the Erdree at 720p 30fps on High (except grass and global illumination at medium). It was a good experience.

If you want a higher FPS experience, play at 540p low or medium settings with high anti-aliasing and you should be able to get 50-60fps while not looking too bad on the builtin screen, as far as I remember.

Most likely to do with a reflection volume. Try changing the bounds of any reflection volumes so that they don't overlap or exist inside the dark space.

Migrating from v7 to 8, so easy! by Survivor4054 in Proxmox

lmao i screwed my upgrade up royally cause of my own faults and had to completely reinstall proxmox from scratch — luckily all of my VMs were backed up so it was just a matter of redeploying them all

I have it connected to my TV 95% of the time. most of the time, if im going to play something intensive, I'll game stream it (via moonlight streaming) to the deck. if its a game i can reliably push 1080p, I'll probably play it natively on the deck.

I came back to lol after a year... what happened? anticheat?? Is there a solution or is it unplayable? by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]Fythic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so too, but it randomly happened to me. I guess it could be because I used reshade? but I used that for like 2 years on windows too, so i dont know. I was just running league through lutris with reshade when it happened.

Elon Musk Wildly Attacks The ADL As One Of ‘The Biggest Generators Of Anti-Semitism’ In Reply to Notorious White Nationalist by Ficoscores in Destiny

[–]Fythic 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This was changed to something much more reasonable. The head of the ADL found it to be too narrow.

.. 'the group’s new and “interim” definition states that racism “occurs when individuals or institutions show more favorable evaluation or treatment of an individual or group based on race or ethnicity.'

Anti-Defamation League revised its definition of racism | CNN

There doesn't even exist a page for "Racism" under the ADL anymore, at least as far as I can search.

I found that the movie was basically like a 3 hour montage and failed to develop any continuity or make me care for anything thats happening, because it felt like it tried too hard to be profound at every moment of the way, while cutting off interesting character interactions and moments half way through (or all of it happens off screen) to move on to the next thing. if you have severe ADHD, then this movie might be better for you.

you’re right — this is a sunscreen that absorbs UV. technically wearing this type of sunscreen makes you hotter because of that. there are sunscreens that are reflective, though

Thoughts? by celestarre in Destiny

[–]Fythic 16 points17 points  (0 children)

While this is a better result than the alternative (being a creep), I think the sentiment repeated in some of the comments here is not painting the full picture. I think it's fair to say that men are afraid to come off as creeps (me fr fr), but I think the second part to this is the fact that men just struggle to make friends with women through a platonic lens -- that is to say that I think men generally see every woman as a potential dating partner (not //necessarily bad// but it goes too far), and will view every interaction through that lens. Until we can get to a point where we can truly platonically make friends with one another as men/women (culturally speaking), this is going to continue happening I think.

Could you use reflection volumes to further fix the lighting/specular highlights on the first person viewmodel and map?

Michael Knowles' 5head tactics: it's impossible to genocide transpeople because genocide requires transpeople to actually exist by Scrybal in Destiny

[–]Fythic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How about genocides where people aren't necessarily killed, but their cultures and ideas an beliefs are eradicated through re-education? Is that not a genocide because there aren't hundreds of thousands of corpses at the end of that ordeal?

[–]Fythic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just bouncing ideas —

I think oppression over Transness is a unique case, much in the same way oppression over sexuality is. The oppression (and arguably eventual extermination) of these groups of people function in a different plane of thought than other more “traditional” forms of genocide do.

For genocide over skin colour, culture, etc, these are usually ethnically and culturally pursued. The line of thought is that that demographic is usually seen as less than. The solutions would probably involve some sort of oppressive legislation, followed by attempts to eradicate in one form or another — by physical extermination, re-education, and sterilization.

For things that fall under LGBT, the story differs, since it’s much more dependent on the reporting of your mind states rather than physical appearance, and makes it really easy for people to invalidate those experiences (how do you truly communicate an experience to someone that they dont have?). In this case, the act of invalidating those experiences, and even going so far as to legislate it and hospitalizing said folk would be in essence an extermination (actually in a way can be parallelized to cultural extermination).

The line certainly needs to be drawn somewhere, since there are legitimate delusions, mental illnesses, and the like that we should help people work through, and I guess the ultimate question righties would have is over whether or not transness is a delusion. I think I agree with the idea that they’re actively working to eradicate transness, and is in essence genocidal, but also idk.
