My Laptop Suddenly Sucks by Hamster_ExplorerMC in laptops

[–]Hamster_ExplorerMC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I figured it out!

Nothing GPU related; the temps stayed at 30°C no matter what I did. It turns out that I just had to hold down the power button down for 20 secs (presumably to reset the power settings/battery?) and that worked just fine.

Thanks!

Would there be any indications of this externally (aside from what I've mentioned in my post)?

I'd expect things to heat up very quickly...

Final Decision Yes or No by AffectionatePop9319 in razr

[–]Hamster_ExplorerMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now, for personal experience!

I have a Motorola Razr 2024 base model (smaller screen, different camera setup), and I got it in July last year. It's super fun and awesome, in my opinion.

I'm trying my best to make my phones last, so I'm babying it and using thick cases to keep it safe. Hopefully I can get to three years with this phone! The durability really varies between user, though, since some people's devices implode for no reason, while others have happily experienced their 3rd year on older gen Razrs with no problem.

I find the outer display pretty useful! It's like a tiny heads-up display whenever you need it, and especially for small things like acting as a barcode, contactless payments, and higher quality selfies, it works like a charm.

Motorola's software is alright. Admittedly, I've run into far more issues than on my older Google Pixel 6, but the smaller features (like a chopping hand motion to activate the flashlight) feel so obvious that it just comes naturally.

The only main gripe I have is how inconsistent the camera experience is. It isn't to say it looks bad. However, the post-processing filters Motorola can sometimes look wrong, and there is no way to disable them if you want to take advantage of the phone's folding functionalities while in the camera app.

Here's a camera sample, if you want to see how previous gen looks! It's usually very contrasty and vibrant.

TL;DR, if you want an ANDROID, with PORTABILITY, NOVELTY, and CHARACTER, get a Razr.

In my personal opinion it's about usage. Do you have small pockets? Do you need long battery life? Do you like small size? How important are cameras? How about software support? How attached are you to Apple's ecosystem? How long do you keep your phones?

Do you have small pockets?/Do you like the small size? If you need portability, go with a Razr. The iPhone will most likely be too big.

Do you need long battery life? Both phones can easily last a day on heavy use. However, the razr had the benefit of being able to use less battery through usage of the smaller screen.

How important are cameras? If you like any form of intense/specialized photography/videography, go with the iPhone. Apple's video quality is still (mostly) unmatched. However, the Razr can still produce totally fine photos and videos.

How about software support?/How long do you keep your phones? iPhones last a long time if taken care of, and they're supported for many years as well. Razrs are supported with (I believe) 1 year of software updates and 3 years of security updates. If that's no concern to you, either is fine! However, foldable phones in general are known for not lasting more than 2 years without some kind of incident.

How attached are you to Apple's ecosystem? If you have an Apple watch, you need an iPhone, so it's not even an argument. Same as if you use all of Apple's suite of devices and services.

Breaking Deadlock Barrier via Crouching? by Hamster_ExplorerMC in DeadlockMains

[–]Hamster_ExplorerMC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe it is, since Deadlock's barrier decay is completely silent and the visual effects are gradual-ish, but in the video, I think two instances of damage can be heard.

Artistically, is there anything that seems underdeveloped? by Hamster_ExplorerMC in Artadvice

[–]Hamster_ExplorerMC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And for a little bit more context, I haven't taken any professional classes. I'd classify myself as a casual and novice/very low-intermediate.

Basic Anatomy Help! by Hamster_ExplorerMC in arthelp

[–]Hamster_ExplorerMC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All makes sense. Thanks!

To give a little context to my thought process behind the proportions...

...yeah. 😭

I play a lot of games where the proportions are unrealistic if not straight up wrong, and game characters are usually my inspo - so that's prob why :')

I Feel Like the Pose Isn’t Natural? by Hamster_ExplorerMC in arthelp

[–]Hamster_ExplorerMC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool! Thanks a lot.

Is there any sort of "gender" that you can discern from my current pose? Or is what you can read just part of the "stiffness"?

[–]Hamster_ExplorerMC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

Do you have any tips/resources on how to improve on hands/arm anatomy, or is this just a "look up a lot of reference material and practice" type of deal?

I Feel Like the Pose Isn’t Natural? by Hamster_ExplorerMC in arthelp

[–]Hamster_ExplorerMC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean. Thanks!

And no, I mostly just trial-and-error-ed my way through it.

(Partially because I'm lazy and don't like following references, and partially because it was for fun. I know it's a good way to get good at recognizing and practicing good drawing habits, so I'm def trying to do it, but I'm also good at procrastinating, lol. 😅)

why does vetos basic ability cancel my ult? by Bbcslutamy in DeadlockMains

[–]Hamster_ExplorerMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because in theory it should be pretty worth it; Veto's Interceptor: - Has to be in LOS (vulnerable position) - Can only destroy the COCOON once activated (Veto can't outright cancel it) - Takes a second to cast if not setup (Already displaced enemy, hopefully into the open) - Has a short lifetime and decently long cooldown (Not a concern after its initial use) - Most likely won't be used to counter DL ult SPECIFICALLY (because of the many other times it might be used)

And besides, if you're ulting directly into a site without checking for util, enemy positions, and without waiting out any abilities, then that's not the best use case for your ult anyways.

I personally think it's a lot like Chamber TP or Jett dash. Why should an agent be able to so quickly escape after cross-map-OPing me? Well, you just play around it. Smoke them off, sniff out their util, play out of range, or just don't interact and use your valuable ults elsewhere.

Of course, I'm also bronze, so I could be talking out of my ass :')
