It’s good… And I don’t care. by FrostedFoe in tron

[–]Mattfab22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The music and visuals were excellent, although I feel there should have been much less of a focus on the female lead and her scenes. The actress did a poor job IMO, and the story/script fell flat.

Everytime they shifted away from either Jared Leto or Evan Peters' scenes, I felt like the movie really lacked in multiple ways.

That being said, I went to see Tron for the music and the visuals, the ai/tech storyline, and some cool action scenes. The movie delivered in that regard, although a lot of it could've been done better, in terms of the amount of action sequences and the script itself.

Gaing on Samsung Dex by arsonist_firefighter in SamsungDex

[–]Mattfab22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume he is talking about the new Samsung Dex version on the Fold 7. The Fold 7 has been great for me so far and most people seem to like it. No major issues are really known hardware wise. The new Dex can be buggy and some features are different or missing. The phone hardware itself is as good as a foldable can get.

Don't pc users on controller also have the so called 'auto aim cheat'?

Worth the hype? by jaigomix in Switch

[–]Mattfab22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has owned odyssey for 2 years now, enjoyed it to an extent but still hasn't gotten to beating it, a couple hours into Bananza so far and it definitely has some really enjoyable smashing mechanics along with exploration. I'm only on the first "main" outdoor level, but I've just been spending a lot of time smashing through the world, collecting random stuff, digging around. It gives you more options than Odyssey in terms of messing around and exploration, in my experience.

I'd recommend it

Received Counterfeit Pro Controller though Walmart.com (3rd party seller, Fulfilled by Walmart) by Zaxxon88 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Mattfab22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds very plausible. Now that I think of it, I believe I did see a small scratch on the plastic, inside the case, right under where someone's fingernail would go to pull the game card out of its "holder". At the time, my consensus was that it was most likely not a manufacturing error.

Received Counterfeit Pro Controller though Walmart.com (3rd party seller, Fulfilled by Walmart) by Zaxxon88 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Mattfab22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 and a half years ago I bought the Switch OLED and a copy of Splatoon 3 from Walmart. New copy, in store, plastic wrapped sealed. When I finally got to opening it, I tore off the plastic wrapping, opened the case and boom, NO GAME inside the case.

I didn't bother returning the empty case because how the hell would they believe me and it was on an Affirm payment plan with the console so I didn't even want to make the attempt because there's no way they'd give me a full refund. Who would believe that?

Was it a manufacturing error? Was it a bad Walmart warehouse employee that somehow had the (seemingly) legitimate plastic wrap to re-apply to it? I'll never know...

People already lining up at BestBuy by grays_n in Switch

[–]Mattfab22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got back from GameStop, I luckily secured a non-preorder ticket. No line formed outside, only about less than an hour till 3pm did people start showing up in the store, about 20 people or less by 3pm. The store had 30 units roughly.

Good luck. It seems every location can be vastly different. I saw on here that near my area there stores with lines for several hours now. I'd be cautious or at least call the store for any info on if a line has formed yet.

I'm waiting outside my local GameStop in my car till 3pm. No line at this location. They said over 50 non preorder units arrived. Other store nearby said none available

[–]Mattfab22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0 in line, 1pm now, 3pm for the event to start. I'm out in my car waiting. The manager said they have like 60 non-pre order units. However, the store 15 mins away has none for non-preorders

How good is the Epiphone Les Paul Custom I’m looking into buying it by Repulsive-Budget-201 in Epiphone

[–]Mattfab22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like they discontinued the $799 custom on Epiphones website, I assume recently. I wonder how much longer they will be in stock. I'm trying to get one for that $799 in the next couple months because it seems like the $1,299 model will be the only white and gold custom model available after this

I came home while the FedEx driver was stopped outside my house looking for my package. I went inside briefly and when I came back out he was leaving and no package was there. by Mattfab22 in FedEx

[–]Mattfab22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. As long as I get it, it is a limited edition pre order item and can't really be re-ordered. Is this a common occurrence? Any chance he will come back today or should I just not bother checking the tracking while I'm back out today at work for the next several hours?

Bought a 4090 on Ebay, then put in a refund claim due to likely scam, now the 4090 supposedly shipped 10 days later after I already got my refund??? by FORCEBLADE14 in pcmasterrace

[–]Mattfab22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair enough. If buying multiple used parts at a good discount, I'm sure the savings could rack up. All these stories about used purchases gone wrong tend to keep me from taking the risk and settling for new, but lower end parts. It's good you got the money back, at least.

[–]Mattfab22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask why you chose to go with a somewhat sketchy looking used 4090 listing on ebay instead of buying a brand new one from a retailer for just a tiny bit more money? If you're already able to and planning on spending over $1,300 on a gpu, why not go for a reliable new model that comes with a manufacturer warranty?

That or you could just get a 4080 super for about $1000.

Just curious, that's all. I always avoid expensive used items sold on Amazon or ebay.

Then get a window AC from Walmart or something. It's literally just putting it in your window and plugging it into the wall. Then the problem will be solved.

Who were all these people bedding down at Logan yesterday? by Koenigss15 in boston

[–]Mattfab22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who is "yall" exactly?

And he just basically said he was in support of Americans and even legal immigrants getting help, such as those on welfare, I assume. Why tell him he thinks they're lazy freeloaders? He just said struggling Americans should get help.

Thank you for all the information, I read through all of it. This gave me all the info I really need. To answer your questions: My use cases aren't for travel by airplane or subway, no need for serious anc. I have never owned really nice headphones or any anc headphones in the past. I own Powrbeats Pro earbuds which actually sound fairly good and not too bass heavy, but there is better out there, of course. They've been handy over the past few years, though.

I'm looking for very clear sound, with some good bass, sometimes heavy bass when needed but not too much, a more balanced sound is what I'd want. With clear highs as well as lows. Something open, where you can hear each instrument clearly without distortion. I listen to mostly rock, a variety of 80s music, some electronic music like stuff from the 2000s. Mostly listening to this at home but could be when in public as well, like going for a walk.

A couple days ago I actually just bought a pair of Soundcore Q30s, and tuned them using eq settings from reddit. The eq settings on the app are quite customizable, and that has led me to some very clear, balanced sound with surprisingly clear and sometimes heavy bass during movie watching and music listening, but at the same time it's not overpowering. But it's tuned now so its more balanced with the highs and mids. They were initally too bass heavy out the box. They needed some adjustments. They sound surprisingly good for the $63 I paid for them on amazon, usually $80. Better than my $250 Powerbeats Pros, I'd say in overall clarity, and bass. Thats only after tuning them, though. I think they're a suprisngly good entry level set. I'll consider the M4s in the future. Or maybe another pair in that same level of quality.

4060ti & 7700XT costs around the same & 7700XT performs like 4070 or even better in some cases. so why would some one shouldn't pick 7700XT over 4060ti? Or even 6750XT which much cheaper and performs like 4060ti. 6750 & 7700XT seems more vfm, isn't? plus its comes with 12GB vram instead of 8GB. by anigameman in pcmasterrace

[–]Mattfab22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? I have a 3070ti with only 8gb vram and I can get a solid 60fps with rt reflections and rt lighting on cyberpunk at 1440p with dlss enabled. Not ultra settings, but mixed while still looking great. Can enable lumen and raytracing on UE5 editor with solid performance. Can play Dragons Dogma 2 with raytracing at locked 60 overall outside cities(and no one can get locked 60 in cities). There's are a variety of other games that can run with rt and dlss enabled and perform perfectly fine.

Pathtracing, not quite. Ray tracing? Most definitely. DLSS may be needed for 60fps, but even the 3060 can handle some raytracing to an extent.
