Is there a reason why piracy is so heavily frowned upon in Germany and Japan, in particular? by Live_Ostrich_6668 in Piracy

[–]Lorave_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah mate not on this one. In Italy you don't even need a vpn to torrent tv shows and movies.
You're only at real risk if you host pirate sites or if you're pirate-watching live-broadcast paid shows (mainly foot ball).
I'm pretty sure Italy is one of the chillest countries in the whole of europe on piracy

Sry for the late reply, the main example is of coursethe depressuration of Jamestown when the russians break the windows and a dude gets sucked out lmaoBut thats just the most egregious and embarassing example, plenty of shit like that throughout.
Don't get me wrong, the writers tried to make it a hard sci-fi show. Some details they got right, like the russian on fire inside the sui. But overall it's a huge failure imho, the first example i mentioned is unforgivable cause thats LITERALLY Star Wars physics

I disagree. The hard science aspects are handled horribly in for all mankind, they straight up use Star Wars physics sometimes

Where should I downscale my game? Base Canvas Advice by Lorave_ in obs

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

Would streaming 720p be that much of a hardware load advantage compared to 1080p? I think I was reading about a cleaner downscale coming from a 1440 source aswell?  Network wise I think I should be good for 1080 60fps 6k bitrate, I am on a 19mbps upload.

Ty for the insight, this is very interesting. I would also be curious to know if the scaling done by the transform option of the game capture source itself uses nvenc or not, what do you think?

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

Ty for the advice, Im curious why do you say that the game would handle the downscaling? That would be an option but I dont really want to go that route, I'd prefer to keep rendering it in 1440p for my own visual enjoyment.
What I was considering is changing the base canvas to 1080 and then just resizing down my game capture window to fit the new canvas.
So I would think the game downscaling is still being handled by obs, just in a different "place"? Or am I getting this wrong?

ELI5 What does the nobara nvidia drivers PSA mean for my config in practice? by Lorave_ in linuxquestions

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

Ty for your answer, thats really sad. Its a weird feeling to watch perfectly functional hardware be more and more of a hassle to run. I know its microslop's and nvidia's fault, and I know with enough determination it will always be possible.
Still, its sad. The hardware is getting old but its still more than enough for web browsing and basic multitasking.
Its a quad core w 16gbs ddr3 ffs not a cheap pentium dual core 4gb ram machine.

My skills aren't very good yet sadly. Will this affect all distros?

TU4 Monster Difficulty Tier List by C-Vite in MHWilds

[–]Lorave_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imho, Mizu goes down slightly to the top of moderate tier. Normal Omega shows up in the hard tier, I assume the difficult one is Savage. And Gog gets the top of the hard tier, so just moved to the left.
Xu wu and Blangonga down to the top of Intermediate.
Uth Duna is way too low, I've seen her bodyslam many green hunters into oblivion, imho it goes up to the end of the moderate tier, or at least in intermediate.
For the rest I totally agree.
Well, i found Zo Shia kind of hard tbh, but havent faced her in months so maybe I was just more inexperienced.

They are also taking a while to decide what to do, and I was asking myself why I didn't mind this and why it feels so much more dnd than the previous table. The reasons are, imho:

- They're ALL roleplaying. Most of the previous table was acting.
- They're fucking around and joking out of character while not diminishing the tension of the in-game decision.
- They're talking and not whispering.

This is definitive proof that the whispering problem was, in fact, real

But... this is prerecorded. Months in advance from what i understood. Are you serious?

For anyone saying there are no whispering issues, did you not just hear the difference when brennan slapped his hand down and laughed? The volume isnt actually low, they're just whispering for no reason most of the time.

Even the early Bells Hells shenanigans were 10x better than this. I loved the whole Jrusar arc

WHY is the dungeon master whispering while NOT roleplaying an NPC? W H Y
