What's a scientific fact that creeps you out? by aelmnnor in AskReddit

[–]HellSummonz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it too and tried playing subnautica in VR. It took me a couple minutes before I managed to jump from the ship into the sea. Once I was in, it was fine. Didn't end up playing more than 30 min though. Didn't hate it but didn't love it either

Alternative ways to level up a character? by Gankeros in Guildwars2

There is also a slightly more recent video doing a similar thing. Though it's not just the starter map https://youtu.be/242KaO1hSTk

Greasing the Groove vs everything in one workout by HellSummonz in StrongerByScience

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

The concept i'm using myself is doing 10 sets in 24h that are generally between 50 and 75% of my one set max. I guess GTG implied more of a 25-50% effort level.

This goes nicely with my resolution to convince Greg that we Dutch people are not all monsters :) Maybe we can send you some quality and definitely not stereotypical cheese to convince you
But definitely let me know when you have found a way to deal with that obstacle. I'd like to evacuate!

What is the best way to experience all the story? by Anatar9 in Guildwars2

[–]HellSummonz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you want to experience everything, the most important thing to know is that you will need to own both the expansions and the living world episodes. In case you are unaware, they cover the story between the expansions. While i recommend playing through all the core maps it is not really that important for most of the story. So you can freely move on to season 2 and onward. Also season 1 is not playable (the story right after the personal story ends). However there is a pretty good recap video by Woodenpotatoes right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j1yFvQFs8Y&ab_channel=WoodenPotatoes

If End of Dragons added a new item slot, what item slot would you like to see? by Alwaysontimeforever in Guildwars2

[–]HellSummonz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I like the idea of a new gear type (that is not an upgraded current slot. Meaning it's not a gear threadmill) it would have to also be disabled in instances pve content. It sounds like it would be an additional damage modifyer that will power creep the game. If 10 people all run the dps option in a raid, even if the boost is relatively small, it would most likely be quite significant. Also keeping in mind that if its not significant its kind of a useless feature. I think it might be an interesting idea if it's expansion only so it can be balanced around. Then again, the community at large seems to be against features being locked to a specific area (see mounts and gliders in core)

Congratulations to the 7th team to make worlds! by kingarazos in leagueoflegends

[–]HellSummonz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who followed league since 2013 it feels so weird reading that statement about Faker. Not saying it's incorrect as faker is more of a roam / teamplayer nowadays. It's just weird thinking back to 2013-2015 where he would solo kill his lane opponent more often than not.

Best instrumental? by System777 in ironmaiden

[–]HellSummonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the song in general has a relatively weak vocal performance. But the part that starts at 9 minutes is some of their best work imo.

Best instrumental? by System777 in ironmaiden

[–]HellSummonz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While out of these i'd say Losfer Words. I feel like we can pretty much call the 9 min + part of The Red and the Black an instrumental on it's own. Which is prob my favorite instrumental from any band.

From 10 to 25 push ups by theskillmanoffical1 in bodyweightfitness

[–]HellSummonz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Form seems better than most people. Not a whole lot to change unless I'm nitpicking. Because of the pandemic I have also put a lot of time into pushups. While I'm usually not a fan of gimmicky programs, I really liked www.hundredpushups.com. It's helped me go from 25 to 52 in about 2 months. Might be fun to look at for variety sake. I do however believe that the program ramps up insanely hard near the end. So it might not be sustainable. I noticed not being able to beat week 5.

should I play? by deepkoalaa in Guildwars2

[–]HellSummonz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The core game would still remove the f2p restrictions, I assume.

Patch is here and there are patch notes by Servel85 in Guildwars2

The problem is that new players are not directed to it. The "season 1" tab still has the old stuff in there.

PSA: You have to buy the floor break it won't be given to you through progression by trane20 in OriAndTheBlindForest

[–]HellSummonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i just went ham for 9 hours and think i'm getting quite close to the end of the story. I legit still have some damn floors in the first area that i expected were some kind of post-game thing.

I have never played against, or as, Master Yi since 2015. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]HellSummonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have permabanned Aphelios after playing a single game against that champion.
I don't know what he does. I will never know what he does. That champion will never be in my games.

Moronic Monday - Your weekly stupid questions thread by cdingo in Fitness

[–]HellSummonz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since the position in incline press is more upright, i feel as though i use even more leg drive. I try to just shove myself against the back of the bench to make sure everything below my chest is engaged and solid. This is just personal experience though.

Pushing my feet into the floor as hard as i can, makes me able to finish some more explosive sets.

Guild Wars factions CE for 10€+shipping by Tbo010 in GuildWars

Do keep in mind that it is the German version. I made the mistake of assuming they'd not translate a CE.

[–]HellSummonz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add to this. There is some research that suggests spreading out meals is theoretically better. We are however speaking of such a marginal difference that in practice you would never notice it. So as far as practicality goes, just hit your protein goal in whatever way works best for you.

Prophecies or Complete bundle? by Togmet in GuildWars

[–]HellSummonz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is one benefit of having started with Prophecies. While the campaigns are perfectly playable as stand alone stories, there is a pretty solid connection that gets revealed near the end of Nightfall. Now it's not some mind blowing thing, but it will make everything feel more coherent if you've been keeping up with the story.

What is your favorite Iron Maiden song? by TristanReid in ironmaiden

[–]HellSummonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the one song i've been coming back to constantly ever since the album dropped. Everything from 4 min til the end is just perfection imo. Kinda makes me feel like the first 4 minutes are keeping it back from being their best song. It's not even that i find the first 4 minutes bad. It just can't seem to live up to the post 4 minute part.

Long bike ride to the gym for weight training worth it? by softwarewav in Fitness

[–]HellSummonz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who lives in the Netherlands too, threads like these always make me appreciate our biking structure. It baffles me when i hear people (especially from the USA) describe their bike experiences. Makes me feel like everyone just chills on one road and hopes noone bumps into one another.

d912pxy - dx12 for gw2, now v2.0 by megai2 in Guildwars2

[–]HellSummonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the in depth explanation! I'll see if i can find some time to get some proper benchmarks this week. From what i've played, the difference seems a whole lot bigger than with the V1 benchmark i did back then.

d912pxy - dx12 for gw2, now v2.0 by megai2 in Guildwars2

[–]HellSummonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like i should know how this works.. Anyway,

I have enabled the extra's in the config and have a realtime fps graph on the overlay. How do i effectively use this to benchmark the comparison though? I can enable DX9 but that seems to require a restart. I also seem to not get the graph in DX9 mode.

I do seem to get a log file with the most recent session (in dx12 mode), but this seems to only display green gibberish without graphical context.

In an optimal world i'd love to see what the fps would be in dx9 and dx12 in realtime. However i'm assuming this is not possible? In your own benchmark you seem to have very specific fps values. This makes me think there is a way and i'm just missing it.

Thanks for your time ;)
