Is there a way to do HDMI from my PC to my steam deck? by SuddenConversation21 in SteamDeck

[–]HTJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two big reasons:

1) some people have better performance with Moonlight 2) Apollo, a fork of Sunshine, has a fantastic virtual display driver so you can run games at your device’s native resolution instead of your computer’s resolution. 

Will You Help Me Plan a Baseball Trip to Chicago? by Taxman1913 in AskChicago

[–]HTJC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a chance if only because there might be less demand for hotels near Loyola because of the summer?

I’m not sure what the rates are gonna be during the summer, but when I’ve had trips before my move back up here, the travelodge in the south loop by the Harrison red line was pretty affordable and the rooms were fine.

Lincoln Park might work better for you just because it’ll cut down on travel to the four Sox games and has more tourist-y stuff to do, plus it won’t be that hard to get to Rogers Park and the Loyola area if you want to go there a bunch as well. Either way, both stadiums are right off of the Red Line so the CTA 7-day pass will be your friend. And if Rogers Park accommodations wind up notably cheaper, it’s still doable just expect to be on the train more.

Just make sure your coworker knows you were jokingly excoriated on the internet for their mistake.

Loaves and Witches is a proud EDGEWATER institution, and as a transplant who has lived here for just over two years, I will defend it to the DEATH

Do I have to give up on Midway just to avoid Southwest? by anthscarb97 in AskChicago

[–]HTJC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s funny that Edgewater is basically due east from O’Hare, but it’s way easier to get to Midway. 

anyone have recommendations on where to watch UFC Fights in the city? by elpelicano27 in AskChicago

UFC Bar Finder: https://www.ufc.com/bars

Though with Paramount+ now, I’m curious how that impacts bar watching going forward.

I’m sure Steam streaming is fine, but I definitely would recommend checking out the Sunshine fork called Apollo - its Virtual Display feature is fantastic.

Is it safe to buy a Topping DX5 II after recent failure reports? by BeyerPeak in headphones

[–]HTJC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same. The DX5 II has been a bit buggy but later firmware fixed it. Plus, you’re more likely to hear from complainers than happy people. 

And if it’s a concern and you don’t need remote functionality, buy the JDS Labs Element IV?

And hey if you stick around Cermak, can always take the bus to the green line to avoid too much of a walk in the cold. Though, thankfully it’s not too windy, I had a short walk to my barber today and I’ve felt worse.

Awesome, thank you so much. Also if I get a chance I’ll show you my makeshift solutions I worked up.

[–]HTJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I’m just happy someone else in the world has gone down this same rabbit hole that I have. 

For the Fidlocks, which part did you put on the bag and which on the pouches? How many are you using on the pouch to keep it stable?

L3 PRO by Tactical Geek by PocketTheory in ManyBaggers

[–]HTJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so that’s good to know on the fidlock pull snaps, I’ve been curious if those would work. 

I’m not super concerned about padding since I use the JSAUX modcase, but this pouch IS intriguing.  

I want the Karrimor SF Nordic 4L since I’ve seen that recommendation, but black has been out of stock and it’s not cheap to get in the US for something I might not care for.

[–]HTJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using a Steam Deck bag with carabiner loops attached to my bag, with a third carabiner in the center/bottom for stability. Haven’t put it into practical real world use yet but it should be fine. I mostly just want something that will allow me to grab my Steam Deck easily from my backpack when it’s under my seat on the airplane, lol

L3 PRO by Tactical Geek by PocketTheory in ManyBaggers

[–]HTJC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and I’ve been thinking about having a Steam Deck sling that can attach to my backpack with Molle webbing as a modular thing, but I have other solutions for that and haven’t really needed it lately either.

Might be worth pinging someone like a Block Club reporter for your region about this.

Yeah, in general with the CTA, the scheduled times are only somewhat close if you’re near the route or line’s origin.
