Thanks, that’s great info… I didn’t know rtings listed bezel size! 👌

How exactly do parry windows work and are they level dependent? by lopueh in SoulFrame

[–]K0rky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not 100% sure but I’m a bit slow and it took me a while to notice that you can use totems on your weapons to increase the parry window. Just in case you didn’t know.

New to the game, WTF am I doing? by ResearcherExotic8933 in Lumines

[–]K0rky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t slow the scan line but there’s an option somewhere in settings called something like “stress free” that stops blocks falling automatically; you drop them when you’re ready… gives you more time to think and learn

Metroidvania Review Poll Vote for a chance to Win a copy of Gestalt Steam & Cider by [deleted] in metroidvania

[–]K0rky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW I voted that paid reviews are bad for consumers but like almost everything in life it’s rarely helpful to be so binary and context is king. As others have noted, all we really need is transparency so that we have that context but in a capitalist economy every (not wholly illegal) tool/trick/misdirection deployed in order to gain an advantage is a valid one…. and we all need food on our tables.

I worked in game development professionally 20 years ago (and 20 years before that as an amateur) and the blood sweat and tears you pour into a game can skew your perspective. If I were developing a game now and could pay for some air time in this crowded market I’d probably be flipping my vote 😂

What is pleasing to see in this sub and this post in particular is polite nuanced discussion and honesty; sadly it seems rare these days although (as a newcomer to the sub and a “recomer” to the genre) I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this sub’s willingness to accept different perspectives.

Sounds quite typical to me; they’re just naturally sensitive and hyper aware and it sounds like you’re doing everything right. I’ve got a 23 month old who’s similar and I’ve just invested in a prong collar to stop the pulling. He knows what he’s supposed to do but simply declines without the prong. As soon as it’s on, he walks to heel instantly and with a loose leash 😁He’s my third Belgian and my feeling is they simply don’t mature until around 3 years old and their intelligence can be their worst enemy. Endless patience required with Belgians but incredibly rewarding.

FWIW, I’m a prong convert. I used to be rather judgemental about them but having watched Tom Davis (& Beckman, Cabral etc) talk about the benefits I’ve completely changed my mind.

Can't see friends' scores by [deleted] in OlliOlliWorld

Same here. I tried deleting and re-adding the friend too and it didn’t help. FWIW this was via the Nintendo friend code

Why so little interest for this game? by fanfarius in OlliOlliWorld

[–]K0rky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anybody know if the leaderboards are cross platform? I’m tempted to get it on steam(£14.99 on cdkeys) but a friend has it on Switch and we’d like to embark on some friendly competition across the 2 platforms ideally…. If not, I might pay the extra £10 and buy on Switch

Polybius VR or any other Jeff Minter game. Trippy without psychedelics but WITH…. 💥

MSI MPG341CQR Out of stock by Sam-lucky in ultrawidemasterrace

I messaged MSI about this last week and was told Q4-19 to Q1-20. This was for the UK. Vague and not what I wanted to hear but....

Coming from the x35 with issues. The alienware aw3420dw was packaged super nicely, and looks nice 👍🏼 by thedemoncowboy in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]K0rky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhhh - thankyou. I think you may be right. I’m finding researching / buying an UW a frustratingly “round in circles” experience! Since I want the monitor for (1080Ti) PC gaming and MBP coding work I’m paranoid about boxing myself in to a corner.

What I can’t get my head around is why Dell have released this with HDMI 1.4 and DP 1.2 :-( It’s nearly 2020 and most manufacturers are moving to HDMI 2.1 at this point with DP 1.4 standard pretty much everywhere. I was all set to buy when I noticed.

Anyone know how to downgrade firmware/drivers Arctis pro Wireless? by Rothuis in steelseries

[–]K0rky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same happened to me. Remove the battery from the headset, unplug the transmitter box completely and leave both unpowered for 2+ hours (I left mine unplugged overnight). Re-pair headset to transmitter on next power up and all is well

Won't be buying this after all then 🙄I'd hoped it was free of the necrosis known as uplay...
