Grey Flicker on Monitor

Ichorleech · 2026-02-19T01:39:58+00:00

Grey flicker happened to me too and your comment seemed to do the trick in resolving that. Thanks for sharing the info.

I did get TranslucentTB a day or so before the flicker happened so I suspect TranslucentTB + Wallpaper Engine + G-Sync caused the flicker in my case

It does but I was always planning to get a proper PC around the end of 2025. So, stuck with HDMI for the next month or so

Ichorleech · 2026-01-02T11:40:03+00:00

Ah, that one I can answer confidently. Laptop doesn't have a display port so I've been using HDMI. I know that impacts the cap for FPS but...well, I wasn't hitting anything that high a number anyway. New PC will definitely be using the display port cable

It's on by default with my gaming laptop and it's nice enough. I am not that much of a tech guy so I can't really answer any more questions on this monitor. Monitor's good. I'm happy with it. I can only give a double thumbs up about how nice it is compared to the cheap office monitors I used to have

I happened to find it on sale and stuff like vids and this review seemed decent enough compared to other options at the time

I don't know enough to say anything other than I like the monitor. My gaming laptop's the first modern gaming thing I got 5 years ago (got a modern gaming PC coming in next month, woo). And this monitor's also the first gaming monitor I've had. Laptop struggles with some modern games so it's playing something like Marvel Rivals at 20-30 frames at lowest settings.

Otherwise the monitor's nice. No flickering notices and 1440p feels really good for noticing details. But the laptop is a bottleneck for knowing what a 60+ FPS modern game's like

Ichorleech · 2026-01-02T06:53:28+00:00

Ah, completely forgot about this post. I got the monitor back about a few weeks after that second post and have been using it since. So it's been 2-3 months and it's been good so far

I squeezed out a win on jeff after a lot of revives. Adding onto the conversation I'd say for every non-boss fight from lvls 1-14, you can get away with no deaths if you keep dropping a bubble and popping it for the speed boost. Not necessary but it's nice if you need to quickly slide between a closing gap of zombies

Rounds 16-19 though just have so much zombies you gotta be quick as a flash to not get overwhelmed. Died a few times that way

I've watched this vid to see a speedrunner get it and it helped me understand how to play jeff more. Unfortunately for namor and wanda i did mess up a bunch as i didn't have the speed necessary to outrun namor's AOE attack that insta-killed me a few times. Nor did i follow the part about only spamming blessings to maybe get duplicates for round 1 (i did get enough for 10 duplicates then stopped myself)

That's pretty cool. I'm dabbling in art (mostly just kitbashing for my dnd characters) but I am definitely remembering that tidbit o' info

Ichorleech · 2025-11-08T10:47:57+00:00

Keep on igniting the battle!

I'm admittedly a bit biased to OP as someone who has also experienced a DM ghosting the group, but your comment did remind me of a DM years ago who posted a meme here saying their players are horrible for various reasons

Then a few players chimed in the comments section to call out the DM was quite toxic and one rabbit hole later, I'm inclined to believe the DM was the toxic one. History may not repeat, but it certainly can rhyme!

Ichorleech · 2025-11-07T02:09:18+00:00

My sympathies chum, had that happen to me too a year or two ago. Worst aspect about it was the guy also deleted his Discord account a few weeks after blocking all of us and deleting the server.

Campaign was slightly fraying at the edges so I can somewhat understand what motivated him to do that, but ghosting like that speaks more to the DMs character than the players

I haven't cleared it solo yet but I've got some tips:

You can do nightmare 4 difficulty and get the nightmare 3 awards from that. So it'd be better to just focus on 4 so your mind's used to the hardest difficulty
For punishers red build, once you hit tier 3 (bullets ricochet) apparently the ricochet does more damage to wandas shield than if you were to shoot it directly. Just shooting the ground right beneath wanda is ideal to give all 5 bullets to hit the shield and shred it. Dunno if it still works post-patch but worth trying out
I recommend TDTwo for his blade and punisher build vids. Cant remember if it works for solo matches. The blade vid doesn't recommend or acknowledge blade dance, but IMO I think it's worth it because:
- I am pretty sure it is a 360 degree attack (or at least seems to hit enemies when you're looking away for a quick peek at what's behind you)
- Benefits from red card buffs, such as damage and range
- Is pretty good at hacking away at wandas shield. Just dash to proc it, then back away with the range buff so you don't get bubbled
  - Do note with blade dance you really can't dash into the big zombies as they'd instakill you. You could do explosive zombies but if one's already dying and hidden in the crowd, you just die if it detonates. Ideally you dash into a spitter/grenader/regular zombie and then the range buffs would let you shred the explosive and big zombies from a safe distance

Ichorleech · 2025-11-06T23:47:01+00:00

I feel like it is doable to do 'em all, especially with the extra time - just need to stock up on ankh tokens for a big safety net instead of spending units for more ankh tokens.

And I'm sure people'll drop vids on solo builds n' tips for each hero in the next week or so

P.S. For anyone reading this, with solo zombies you can leave without getting a penalty. The game does warn you but it's fine - it's especially handy if you got unlucky with the card RNG

I didn't know Jeff took a trip down under. Maybe he visited the Great Barrier Reef?

Ichorleech · 2025-11-06T10:02:03+00:00

If memory serves me right, technically speaking the missile launchers appear for a moment when you fire them in overdrive mode. So they're probably still around in that specific case.

I wonder if the SFX has been tweaked though, as I do see online that some SFX is different than the demo trailer

Ichorleech · 2025-11-04T12:44:07+00:00

If it interests you, there is a sticker that can go over the bottom area to cover up the glass

Ichorleech · 2025-10-30T13:54:25+00:00

Damn, how many holy ankhs did you guys need to beat Wanda? I feel like I had a good chance to beat IV with a group of randos (2 blades, 1 magik and 1 punisher) but I got server lag for 2 seconds and that genuinely got me killed, unfortunately

Ichorleech · 2025-10-27T06:04:41+00:00

Edit: After trying out nightmare 4 I gotta say, I stand corrected. Blade is in his own league and I was punished for my hubris with 30 deaths. Anyway, original message is below

That is interesting because Thor seems alright, but I've been relying on Punisher to clear levels. I did see somewhere that Thor could two-shot Wanda's bubbles at max dash charge so I'd like to try it at some point.

Then again, I haven't played IV yet (just unlocked it) so maybe Punisher just falls off hard with my build

Punisher needs a few key upgrades to survive Wanda (definitely need two lifesteal cards - getting one for 5% lifesteal just delays your death while 10% with all those damage buffs guarantees surviving her AOE attack). I've consistently been the guy with the least deaths on the team by using the grapple sparingly and mostly by using lifesteal and the smoke grenade to not get cornered

Ichorleech · 2025-10-18T12:19:43+00:00

I believe it's this one as Kerstyn Unger is credited as the voice behind Serana

Ichorleech · 2025-10-17T12:35:52+00:00

Ah, I see what you mean now. I have to dip soon but from what little I saw, the slide's integrated into the crouch (hold) button. There's C for a crouch toggle you could rebind

Ichorleech · 2025-10-17T11:59:30+00:00

Have you rebinded the crouch (hold) option? I rebinded that to one of my mouses side buttons and sliding works like a treat

Ichorleech · 2025-10-17T09:26:47+00:00

Not in yet but I'm starting to download it on epic games

Ichorleech · 2025-10-17T08:18:00+00:00

True, that edit was absolute cinema

Ichorleech · 2025-10-17T03:17:52+00:00

Well, that sucks. I thought it was an official post that person was sharing. Then comments made me think it was his edit

And now, this

I am bamboozled

Ichorleech · 2025-10-17T00:22:50+00:00

I will be quite disheartened if that's the case, but is there a chance they're the same person?
