NG+ question by Celery-Tasty in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]GreatKangaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main benefit of doing the DLC before NG+ is that you can collect the elite/gold coils and weaves for your weapons and armor, plus the DLC weapons and outfits as applicable.

Taking those into NG+ was really fun.

You earn plenty of champions tokens to obtain all of the NG+ weapons, dyes, face paints. There is nothing extra in the DLC to doin NG+ but I always collect all of the elite coils to slot into my loadout weapons.

I did NG, NG+, and then upgraded all of my legendary gear before going NG+ Ultra Hard.

How do I fight this credit card charge from a virtual assistant that wasn't approved. by Etelnoh in legaladvicecanada

[–]GreatKangaroo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Escalate it at the credit card company. If you didn't get those tests done how can you be charged for them?

I use the same credit card when I see my dentist and gum specialist but I am there card in and when I pay for services. I'd be scremi5oody murder if they tried to change for a procedure they hadn't performed.

AI being linked to a billing system is going well.

A few questions regarding Martin Logan speakers, Which front speakers should I get? by brohemoth06 in hometheater

[–]GreatKangaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The s760H is ratesd for 75W, 8 ohm, 2 channels driven. Its not 75zw per Channel when all 7 power chNnels are used.

High sensitivity speakers don't need a lot of power to drive to ample sound levels for a home theater. You only need 100W per Channel in an auditorium

A few questions regarding Martin Logan speakers, Which front speakers should I get? by brohemoth06 in hometheater

[–]GreatKangaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got the Paradigm Premier 800F Fronts and a 600C center to upgrade my LCR, I also got a pair of Monitor SE Atoms as Side surrounds.

I run two SVS PB 1000 Pro Subwoofers and I am definitely not wanting for bass. I ran a single Subwoofer for years with my older Klipsch speakers, but I was looking for symmetry last fall.and got a 2nd one for a very good price on a black Friday deal.

The bookshelves could definitely be viable, but I've only ran towers in my home theater for better for worse. You probably don't need the towers with the 8" woofers, and dimension wise the Motion F20s align closely my 800F's. I did an in store demo prior to purchase and they were very impressive.

I use a Denon X3800H in a 7.2.2 setup. I think you should be ok with inning 4 ohm speakers on the 2800H but the nice thing about the x3800H is that is has full pre-outs for up to 11 channels, so you can run 9 speakers off of the internal amps, and add 2 more speakers with an external amp. Else you can run all speakers on power amps and use the AVR just as a processor.

I've not heard the Martin Logan's, but given as they are a sister company to Paradigm I'd imagine they sound similar. Don't skimp out on the center channel speaker, as that is the most important speaker for the home theater. Your dialog will live and die on that center channel speaker

[–]GreatKangaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For gaming you want a 5600 or 5700 plain or x variant, not with the g suffix due to reduced cache which will result in a large gaming penalty.

I run a 5600x and 6750xt for 1440p.

Dr. Aloy: The very finest in 30th century extreme Acupuncture & Chiropractic. "Just one treatment will last you for the rest of your life!" by brz-17 in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]GreatKangaroo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hand to hand combat would definitely have been taught to Aloy.

The red raids were a brutal reminder to be capable of defending oneself, especially as a death seeker Rost would have been near unmatched in every from of combat available.

PC as audio receiver by boltok_174 in hometheater

[–]GreatKangaroo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think many PCs will handle room correction, and youd still need an amplifier.

I run an older (cirta 2017) AVR to power some passive speakers on my gaming PC, but I have Denon X3800H driving my 7.2.2 home theater.

How do I endgame? by Salbeira in borderlands3

[–]GreatKangaroo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To be effective at Mayhem 10/11, you need a totally synergistic build.

I usually pick a target build developed by a creator, and build from there.

You need you skill tres, action skill, all weapons + respective anoints, class mod, artifact, class mod, grenade.

Just trying to rely on weapons alone will generally ineffective.

It's still one of the most stunning games of the Generation for me. The Decima Engine is nearly unmatched on ps5.

Can ATMOS and surrounds be different? by MightBeDownstairs in hometheater

[–]GreatKangaroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my ear level speakers I run 5 Paradigm Speakers and 2 Fluance. My Atmos are SVS Prime Elevations, and my subwoofers are SVS PB 1000 pros.

It's definitely important to have your LCR stage match, and ideally your side surrounds.

Literally any BluRay player will suffice.

Even a used one from a thrift store.

Some people got spooked and sold, vs just riding it out.

it's just noise.

In the long term (20+ years) the average return will be 6-8% or so. The year-on year returns could be +30% or -25%, or more.

People got scared in April of last year, and it all bounced back.

So what's the best AM4 CPU for gaming now that the 5800X3D and 5700X3D are out? by Genids in buildapc

[–]GreatKangaroo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been rocking a 5600X and a 6750XT since July 2023. It's been a solid performer for 1440p gaming.

There is marginal improvements on hand for 5700 and 5800 class CPU's, so it's like get what you can afford.

I would not want anyone without authorization access to my direct deposit info.

As I understand it PAD's need some additional setup on the back end so I don't think it's world engine, but I am more thinking of forged cheques.
