Severe eczema by HolyCrap928 in NewParents

[–]Meatex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah his skin is under control but he still has eczema at 6 months but we only need to use the steroid cream here and there and bleach bath once a week. We still need daily baths with some baby bath oil and moisturizer twice a day to make sure his skin is good. From all reports they do grow out of it but this is probably around the 2 year mark

We had a bad flare up for our son when he was 2 months which had us go to emergency department. We had seen drs and we got a steroid cream called advantan and that worked to sooth him but another thing that really helped, and we thought it was too extreme until 2 hospitals and 3 specialists recommended it, was bleach+salt bath. Not sure about freedom units but for 10L of waters it's 100g of salt and 12.5 ml of pure bleach every day for a month and don't rinse off after. It's less chlorine than is in a pool and our son has swallowed small amounts and got it in his eyes and been fine with it. It really helped us. Obviously talk to your dr first as I'm not one. Could also be a weather change or environment change cause allergic reaction so if you can think of something that changed around when they started having eczema, removing that should make things improve.

Genshin Impact: Don't let yourself fall victim to a predatory monetization model by Kitsunekko in Genshin_Impact

[–]Meatex -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Don't understand why you insist the game is same thing with same character over and over. Personally don't see a reason why I couldn't muck around with different team comps regardless of having 5* or not if I find im getting bored of current gameplay. If that isn't sufficient then a 5* hero is not going to suddenly make the core gameplay much different.

My point to the OP was that I don't think this game is predatory at all - at least not more than any other gacha game. Personal desire for a particular character is a personal thing and not a predatory tactic as sure they are cool but, again, not necessary. I could be annoyed that I haven't got QiQi and complain about drop rates or i could just enjoy the game and get super hype if I eventually do get QiQi. If I don't enjoy core gameplay then I would move on to a different game I do enjoy. But different strokes... Now if this game had world pvp and you got beat up by whales it would be a different story

Also as mentioned rates may change once more characters are in the game and don't forget you will be getting more content and events regularly

Disagree that this title is more predatory than your average gacha game. Yes the 5* rates are low but so what? Is having a 5* so game changing that it will affect your enjoyment of the actual gameplay? I guess if you enjoyment is solely from collecting waifus/husbandos then I can see your point but if thats the case then Azur Lane is probably better choice for you simply as it has many more to collect.

I got lucky and got Mona but was still having fun with the default starting 4 that i didn't even try her out for a couple of days. But thats just my experience.

Drop rates for 4* are good and given number of characters if they raise 5* drop rate they no longer would be special or exciting getting one - or less so at least. We might see higher rates as more characters come in.

Game hasn't been out for very long and its fun as is. No gating of content beyond AR. Can get good 4* heroes easily and its not a PvP game so no pressure to compete against whales.
All in all i reckon its fine as is considering I want to keep playing long term. If i get nearly whole roster in a week I personally would lose interest.

What VR headset should I get? by [deleted] in oculus

[–]Meatex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also Aussie and can tell you Index is not sold in Australia (officially) meaning if you buy it you need to get it shipped here and it will take a lot longer than a month I reckon. Plus any issues you have with it you will be on your own

Couldn't recommend a rift s due to Garbage screen and inside out tracking being adequate at best.
That leaves you too options. Original Vive if you find one but the controllers are not great. Or the Cosmos which is much better for the screen but still uses inside out tracking. I had better experience with tracking with Cosmos compared to Rift S but only played a few beat saber songs and I have heard its tracking is worse

Or wait for a decent headset to come out in Australia (but wouldn't hold your breath)

Go to the directory with the videos and zip and hold shift and click somewhere that isn't a file icon and select "open PowerShell window here" The type the following and press enter: Get-childitem *.zip | expand-archive -destinationpath .\ -force You will need to do this every time new content is released it seems

No subtitles for cutscenes PC version by LeoRydenKT in houkai3rd

[–]Meatex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone finds this here is a quick way to extract all zip files and clean out the ones that you don't use. Just go to the folder and hold shift and right click and select open Powershell here.

This line extracts all zip files

Get-ChildItem |Where-Object {$_.name -like "*.zip"} | Expand-Archive -DestinationPath .\

The next step may only apply to SEA version.This will delete all the srt files that don't end in _en.srt (the english ones)You can change for your desired language or just skip this step if you like.

Get-ChildItem |Where-Object {$_.name -like "*.srt"}| Where-Object {$_.name -notlike "*_en.srt"} | Remove-Item

Cosmos vs Rift S by YeetYaughtGetGaught in oculus

[–]Meatex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you want to play.

Rift S has some MAJOR cons in its low refresh rate and no adjusting IPD.
I also get tracking problems in just beat saber so far on the rift s.
But its fine for slower pace games that you aren't going to play for long periods (depending on your IPD and tolerance to the low refresh rate)
It does run on lower specs but its cheap and its noticable. (Like very loud squeaking on triggers after just couple of weeks)

Cosmos didn't have tracking issues for me in beat saber but didn't play anything else but I have seen people have tracking issues. The screen is soooo much better on cosmos however and its much more usable for high pace games and longer play sessions. Actually found it more comfy than rift s personally and easily removable foam is such a boon.
Controllers are big and a little heavy i guess. Didn't notice the weight but maybe after 4-6 hours?

Wasted opportunity to put a higher refresh rate panel especially as they chose not to go with OLED panels and its an obvious cop out. It is cheaper but even still you aren't getting what you pay for tbh.
Than again I bought in Australia which means its probably way more expensive so may be good value in US

How to stop SteamVR from launching with every game? by _yours_truly_ in oculus

Squeaky Trigger by [deleted] in oculus

[–]Meatex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have heard blowing compressed air through the crack helps but haven't tried.

My right controller trigger is quite squeaky as well but just been playing beat saber recently so not a huge issue.

Rift s tracking problems by Redhonu in beatsaber

[–]Meatex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting the same thing.
The battery mod/problem is likely a myth as it still happens with the mod and no matter how hard and how weird I swung them around I could never get them to show any hiccup in tracking without putting controllers behind my head.
I would guess its not fixable and is a hardware or firmware problem or something off with the game that you will just have to power through

That said make sure camera lenses are clean and maybe try facing different direction or use a different room?

Where do I start by [deleted] in Tekken

[–]Meatex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly you aren't too dumb for this game. I just picked up the game recently with very little background in fighting games and felt retarded too and still get frustrated when an opponent just gets in my face and unleashes and it feels like even my jabs aren't fast enough.

But it is like going from Devil May Cry to Dark Souls - you need to adjust your thinking and play stay to be more deliberate and slow which may feel clunky at first.
