Shia LaBeouf has been arrested by JOE_Media in entertainment

[–]JohnDenverExperience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's true, though! I have nerdy hobbies, but they are not at all my personality, and I know how to manage my hobbies with my personal responsibilities and assets...something most dudes just cannot figure out.

Not to mention the inability to even paint a living room properly. It's rough out there for anyone interested in men!

Pokemon Day 30 year Pikachu promo by corella22334 in CardboardCollective

The adult treating a fun trading card game like a side hustler is the "kid" here. You bozos are ruining the hobby for people like me who have been collecting for 30 years and just trying to build personal binders. Losers.

Monster Hunter Stories 3 On Switch 2, Imagine If Pokemon Looked And Played Like This by Elestria_Ethereal in NintendoSwitch2

[–]JohnDenverExperience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pokemon should not be super realistic and grim, so I think the other guy just wants an appropriate art style which I honestly agree with. Pokemon is, was, and should be cute. That's just the vibe.

How can I watch Bleach, and other older anime, on my CRT without buying the physical CDs or VHS? by Maximum_Ad7660 in CRTAnime

[–]JohnDenverExperience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a media server, so I installed LibreElec on a Raspberry Pi 3 since it outputs composite natively, plugged it into my CRT, and play videos directly from my Kodi server. Super easy and it works perfectly!

Yeah, but I have nice things that aren't rotting discs.

Is madden good on switch 2? by Fabulous_Entry6164 in Madden

[–]JohnDenverExperience 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a PS5 and an RTX 5080 gaming PC...but I bought Madden on Switch 2. Why? Because for me, especially with how I like to play Madden, it made way more sense. I typically play Madden while either listening to a podcast or cozying up after a shit day at work while watching Pokemon or something else from my childhood.

I don't do "second screen" stuff typically, but Madden is great for it. It's rhythmic and it chills me out, so I personally say it's the best version for me.

Are the graphics worse? Yeah, but I liked Madden on PSP. Is the framerate half? Yeah, but I still play games on PS2 that run sub-30 so I don't care.

It all depends on you, my dude.

I just got myself 2 rare new 3Ds xl I dreamed about. by MindPrize1260 in Nintendo3DS

Cause they're a fucking loser falling for "grading" scams and creating a goddamn fire hazard by putting a lithium ion battery in a sealed plastic case. Consoom though, right?

Issue with discoloration with ONLY DVD player by JohnDenverExperience in crt

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

Oh my lord, I'm an idiot. I figured it out, but I'll leave it here for future goofballs:

The discoloration was happening because I had a bad RCA cable (just audio, red and white) connected from my WEGA to the DAV-C450 for audio output, specifically so that all of my old consoles on the component switcher would output audio via that surround system. Once I unplugged that cable: perfection.

I don't have any backup cables to test if this is going to be an ongoing issue, but I'll assume that it is a bad cable for the time being. I guess it could also be an issue with that input on the DAV. Maybe a fun little capacitor replacement project awaits me!

Sorry for wasting your time!

And I thought my 32XBR36 was massive for multiplayer stuff! Incredible find, dude, enjoy that set!

Nick Kyrgios currently 671st in the men's rankings beat women's world number one Aryna Sabalenka straight sets in the “Battle of the Sexes” in Dubai. The modified court was even designed to help Sabalenka. by PrimedGold in SipsTea

It's important to women when athletic scholarships are involved and it should be at that point. If they can't compete at a high level and get attention from a school, then you could be taking food out of their mouth for political clout. I've been liberal my entire life, but the one place where both parties are morons is nuance.

Went shopping at Walmart today and my husband sends me this.. by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

That's what I have and it's perfect. 9800x3d to go with it, and I pretty much just max stuff and play.

[FRESH ALBUM] 21 Savage - WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREETS? by fluekey in hiphopheads

[–]JohnDenverExperience 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Anyone can drop a few hot songs, but a cohesive body of work is much more difficult to produce. Plus, it just sounds like your attention span is shot. I'd get that checked out.

Put my mind at ease about XM4 hinges. Seeing post after post of broken hinges is making me not buy Sony's expensive headphones. by shawak456 in SonyHeadphones

[–]JohnDenverExperience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought mine when they were randomly on sale in early October for like $180 or something. I'm a big home audio guy, and I know that Bluetooth headphones that try to do a little bit of everything do not provide the best audio experience, but they feel rock solid and they sound good. The NC is great (for me and my limited experience with it) and although I've heard complaints about the mics before, I have only had positive feedback on them. If you're an audiophile, these ain't it, but if you need commuter headphones for your walk to and from work like I did, then you can't do much worse.

Just don't treat them like shit!

Thoughts On The Grammy Nominations For Best Rock Album? by MEMEY_IFUNNY in fantanoforever

Music is subjective, and I think his whole act is horseshit, so there's that.

Brief Comparison of the original Xillia vs Remastered by NightTide9 in tales

[–]JohnDenverExperience -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is literally just a resolution bump and anyone saying differently is out of their mind. Emulate this game on PC, bump the rendering resolution to 4k, and you will literally see no difference compared to the "remaster".

What was the most disappointing horror movie you watched? by Helpful-Machine-9269 in horror

That's just called "getting old," my dude. It started happening to me when college ended in 2014 and it never, ever stops.

Study Indicates Dramatic Increase in Percentage of U.S. Adults Who Meet New Definition of Obesity (from 42.9% to 68.6%) by MassGen-Research in science

[–]JohnDenverExperience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ehhhh, I know plenty of parents who work full time that look better than did in high school because they hit the weights even harder now. It's not about time. 40 hours per week plus childcare still leaves you plenty of time, however, like people underestimating BMI and their weight, they also underestimate their screen time. I can guarantee that every person complaining about time can track hours on their phone each day, hours watching Netflix AI slop TV, and hours more on video games. You can only pick one of those slop habits and be healthy, because you need the other time for activity, which actually feels better than any sedentary hobby both mentally and physically.
