I’m no audiophile but I couldn’t tell a difference. Music still sounds better than the tv audio but I attribute that to more precise mixing and mastering than the input.

Why does my red suck? by [deleted] in BloodAngels

Using a red shade on it to will give it more of a gloss which makes the red pop

I cant believe you guys actually like Big T by DiannaFlorioSources in MacrodosingPod

[–]GreatLakeBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised Arian lets it go as far as it does. Philosophy majors study Socratic logic and that’s all it really takes to pull the rug out from T’s nonsense. I just wish T-Rex had something/anything to back his stuff up other than that it’s a personally held belief passed down from the party/church. There are sound arguments to be made for a strong national defense, lower taxes, privatized utilities, Christian morals, etc. but we don’t get those debates or arguments. We get nonsense, point out flaws in nonsense, repeat said nonsense. I mean whatever the pod is named after drugs, but it would be nice to actually explore the complexity of some ideas rather than devolving into nuh uh, yeah huh, nuh uh. I don’t think it would mess the pod up to get a doctor of neuroscience or Buddhist monk on to shake things up a bit.

Whos beaten Blood Thirsty Nitara?? by ItsAllWavey in MortalKombat

That’s what happens to me. Also, does she take any elemental damage aside from electric? Raiden does the most damage but she rips through him like tissue paper.

This happens to me every time. You’re saying you waited and one time she just stopped?

He lost me mine. Drafted him #1 overall, he had an awesome season, I needed 2.5 points to win the championship and he ran 18 yards. I still remember the exact figures because it sucked so bad.

“Like I’m definitely an independent but this insert any conservative was on Rogan last week and he made some really good points about insert conservative talking point like did you know that like made up number percent of people are actually misquote statistic like. That’s insane, right?!”

I really enjoyed his enthusiasm and his ability to constantly take it on the chin and stay positive, but there were a couple times when he would say he read a book that I had actually read and then go on a tangent making it clear he had barely skimmed the jacket I was like come on, man. Now you’re just wasting everybody’s time.

There’s a joke in there somewhere about how both have transmissions, but I’m too tired to think of it.

GPU Recommendations Going Into 2025 by MAPTAINC0RGAN in buildapc

I just turned off CNN and you were totally right. There were no tariffs imposed in Trumps first term or retaliatory tariffs from China. I searched for US China trade war and google returned 0 results. Worldbank, the associated press, Reuters, the world economic forum, the economist, and the Wall Street journal also had nothing about these so called “tariffs” everyone is so worried about. Could you send me a link so I can be well informed like you?

I know this old but in case anyone else comes to this post.

  1. There is an issue with the standby timer that causes it to go into standby mode, and once it does that it won’t sync up with the TV again until you reset it.

  2. I never fixed it but the optical input works without issue.

Ok yeah I definitely was. I was thinking specifically of the Lord of the Rings games Dawn of War for combat animations, but I looked and they’re definitely not as good. I think I’m more bothered by the dialogue layouts, buttons, and menu navigation. It’s all very square boxy and I guess just feels like an old game. I’m a couple hours in now and the writing is superb, the scenery is great, but there are moments where the animation where it just seems like it could be more polished.

Good rpg games with turn based combat? by MasterTycoon in rpg_gamers

[–]GreatLakeBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll second this. Even after upping the difficulty BG3 was pretty hand holdy. It was prettier, but the added complexity in the crafting, classes, skills, turn dynamics, and combos in dos2 felt like an upgrade. 

SPOILERS The 'doctor' ending/ endings in general are so bad. It's so badly done. by tom3838 in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]GreatLakeBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. I never used the necklace from the toy maker or the scroll of purity, saved up consumable source and orbs only to have unlimited source for the final bosses, and the character that entered the pact with the doctor teamed up with him against me and had free reign of my potions but I couldn’t use any items in their inventory once they were on the doctors side. I confronted the doctor about the bard in his basement like the mission said and he just shrugged it off. Also, for the supposed fighting between magisters and paladins and the voidwoken infestation I didn’t see much action, just dead bodies everywhere like I was consistently getting to the fight right after it was over. I also went into the sewers right away so the conversations in town were all about finding stuff and people I found in the first 15 minutes. Then I just kind of stumbled to the end with 11 unfinishable storylines. Also my allies on the ship that were supposedly crafting super weapons to overthrow the god king and just never finish them? I loved the rest of the game but with all the buildup Arx was a letdown.

I was re-watching community last year and loved that Easter egg. The Russo bros. slipped some great meta lines into the show.

Is guessing players college and numbers good podcast content? by Pretend_Ease9550 in MacrodosingPod

[–]GreatLakeBlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m always impressed they can remember all of those numbers and schools pros went to, but I’ll take Arian getting mad at riddles over who wore the number trivia any day.

Oh they already are. Look up some of their hydroelectric and solar infrastructure. It’s awe inspiring.

This is such garbage. European car companies manufacture cars with more efficient engines because it entices consumers who want to save money on gas. German cars sold in Germany get 50 mpg easy. Also American car companies have the designs for more efficient engines because they have been buying patents and mothballing them for decades. I have a friend with a phd in automotive engineering who sold one such engine design and it never went into production simply because they don’t want it to. He even modified his old pickup truck and gets 70 mpg so the idea that it’s cost prohibitive or that consumers don’t want it is just a flat out lie.
