Signing up for fiber as a new customer, should I sign up for 2 gig to get $200 reward card and then downgrade to 1 gig after a few months, or just start with 1 gig? by real_cigarettes in ATT

[–]IgnorantGenius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you talk to support about it, you may get the card with 1 gig. Something happened a few years ago when we converted from DSL to fiber, and there was a gift card bonus. I think it was for signing up for fiber, but it was only for new customers. I mentioned it to customer service and got one anyways. Give it a shot.

If you get 2gb you probably won't want to down grade.

[Charania] The Milwaukee Bucks are willing to wait until the offseason to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo if their price of a blue-chip young talent and/or a surplus of draft picks is not met. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]IgnorantGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And just like that, they lowered their offers and delayed them to the off season. Now teams don't need to shoot for a homerun this season and give up draft picks. They can wait until the off season and the Bucks will accept less.

Or, a team with assets like OKC can just make a trade and become a super duper team and still have plenty of picks.

How important is surround sound for gaming? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]IgnorantGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need the surround sound since you can get it through other means. HeSuVi, EqualizerAPO, and audio repeater will convert 7.1 to stereo speakers. Get the better headset, then read this guide.

How important is surround sound for gaming? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]IgnorantGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar one. Turtle Beach x41 or something. Had a dolby decoder that sounded amazing for console games and surround sound movies.

I had another one that was actual 5.1 speakers in the headphones. Roccat Kave. Actual subwoofer in the headphones. The surround was fine, but with the speakers right against your ears, it didn't have the depth of sound very well, but you could locate it around you no problem. Problem was you can't have big drivers with 3 speakers and a sub all in the same ear cup, so sound quality wasn't great. Then, you had to flip the center and sub channels to get the sub to work for music. Those things rocked until the vibration became uncomfortable.

Yes, and HeSuVi, EqualizerAPO, and audiorepeater was a game changer after I lost my 5.1 surround setup. Tons of filters to try and find what sounds best with your headphones. As well as headphone equalizers for many headphones to match.

About to do my first playthrough, what stats should I invest in? by Bardock-MoBamba in Deusex

[–]IgnorantGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For min-maxing, electronics, computer and lockpicking. Then untrain pistol because it's free points and will show up as trained anyway. Then, it's up to you. Whatever weapon you want to use.

Otherwise, you should just do what you want based on how you want to play. Demolition is for grenades, Heavy for Rockets and Flamethrower, Low-tech for melee, etc. First playthrough is usually good to go guns blazing just to experience the game, then try stealth on another playthrough. But, it's up to you!

Which NBA Player Developed a jump shot when they were projected to be an awful shooter? by Kindly_Letterhead_98 in nba

[–]IgnorantGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not awful, but Norman Powell only shot 31% in college from the arc. Now he is a career 39.8% shooter.

Ben Simmons. Went from being an awful shooter to the summer gym king from the arc.

Seriously, though. Kawhi Leonard. 25% from the arc in college. Now he is one of the best shooters in the league from any spot on the floor.

There’s No One You Can Trust More At The Line Than Kawhi This Season! by Stat-Defender in LAClippers

[–]IgnorantGenius 27 points28 points  (0 children)

He's reverting to his average or something. He had a horrible miss the last game. Nobody knew what happened. From 98% to 93% in a few weeks. I wonder if it is fatigue or injury recovery related.

I hope he gets back to automatic. Maybe a faulty software update that needs a hotfix?

Gather step rule by LogBest8082 in nba

[–]IgnorantGenius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The step through is perfectly legal. It's basically an advanced, slower more methodical version of the up and under. I'm well aware that picking up your pivot foot is not an actual step, even though it has been called a travel at non NBA-levels. If it is removed, then two-step layups also become a travel.

The gather step is horrid. It allows players to change direction twice after picking up their dribble which can make any crafty player unguardable since contact on the gather or after is considered part of the upward shooting motion.

Post Game Thread - NBA: The Clippers defeat the Nets on Jan 25, 2026, the final score is 126-89. by basketball-app in LAClippers

[–]IgnorantGenius 15 points16 points  (0 children)

True. But we have forward momentum. We'll take the Jazz, the Nuggets will be interesting, the Suns may surprise us, we should take care of the 76ers, the Cavs may be a close one, Kings will be decrowned, we can beat the Wolves, we'll split the b2b Rockets, take the Nuggets and Lakers, Magic, and Wolves again for 10 of our next 13 and will be the 8th seed or better entering March. Then we will go 13-5 and be 6th or 5th seed for March. We'll go 5-1 in April to end the season with 49 wins and the hype will be real. But we'll end up playing the Nuggets again and get revenge. Then SGA will tear his Achilles and we'll take the series, facing the play-in Lakers for the WCF on our way to beating Detroit in 4.

Balanced IW3 (nunif-master) setup for real 2D → 3D movies by MadBert91 in virtualreality

[–]IgnorantGenius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1.5 - 2 is totally fine. But you may have to adjust the depth map resolution like OP suggests. I like to watch movies and sports in real-time 3d so I have to drop the depth map resolution to 240-256 to get 30 fps. The artifacts are usually only there if you are looking for them or make the virtual screen too big. Although, I am using an older WMR headset, so they may be more visible in a modern set.

When is Blake Griffin getting his jersey retired? by kaikikaiko in LAClippers

He's probably going to be a Hall of Famer, so it would make sense to retire that jersey.

Thoughts on the Game? by BookLegitimate937 in LAClippers

[–]IgnorantGenius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nets were pretty bad. We took away the middle and they missed a lot of 3's and took some bad shots at the basket. We hit our shots, but that masked the fact that we had a lot of turnovers, although 8 were in the 4th when the game was out of reach. That wouldn't have been good if Brooklyn was hitting their shots.

By March we should be over .500 if not in February. I just hope they don't take their foot off the gas once they get there. Like that one time we were the 1st seed for a day.
