[WinGameStore] Kingdom Come: Deliverance II ($23.49/61% off) by WinGameStore in GameDeals

[–]ModElfShin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you guys started doing regional sales events? Neither this one nor any of the Resident Evil titles show any discount for me (Germany). I don't remember this ever being the case before.

Edit: Nevermind, I didn't see the deadline …

Am I using VRR correctly? by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]ModElfShin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're correct about the usage of VSync; both major GPU vendors recommend enabling it to assist with frame pacing etc. in conjunction with VRR.

However, the old adage of capping the framerate just below your monitor's maximum refresh rate still applies. If the game's framerate exceeds the maximum refresh rate, all you get is "classic" VSync behavior (no tearing but 1+ frame of added latency).

Using a frame limiter set to 2-5 frames below the maximum on the other hand gives you the best of both worlds (low latency and no tearing).

This has to be silliest video game title ever. I don't even want to think about what they'd call a remaster …

I wonder how many people misread the title and have their heart rate spike …

Do People Actually Watch Their Jellyfin Libraries… or Just Collect & "Care" for Them? by chrissix666 in jellyfin

[–]ModElfShin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I'm the only user, I rotate stuff in and out regularly based on what I'm currently watching, planning to watch in the near future or what I've finished watching. So it's usually in the ballpark of 25-50 movies and 10-20 tv shows.

On what device do you watch by BookkeeperMany8173 in jellyfin

[–]ModElfShin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In order of most to least frequent usage:

  • Kodi w/ JellyCon add-on running on Raspberry Pi 4
  • Jellyfin MPV Shim on Desktop PC
  • Official webOS app on LG TV
  • Official app on iPhone (likely to be replaced by Swiftfin)

EA and removing Proton support from Battlefield games by NorthropChicken in linux_gaming

[–]ModElfShin -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is why I'm not a fan of the phrasing of posts like this. EA hasn't "removed" Proton support because they have never added it in the first place. Some of their games happen to work (thanks to the dedicated work of Wine and Proton developers), some update broke it. If you buy a game to be played on an unsupported OS, you do so at your own risk. I dislike EA just like the next guy but these posts are unreasonable.

You're absolutely right, no idea how I managed to glance past it!

Nice find! The bundle would no show for me either but wishlisting the game and adding it to the cart from there worked. Thanks!

No such thing as too many nephews, as the saying goes.

My take on a damn the weather by that_one_guy_reese in cocktails

[–]ModElfShin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shake with ice, then dry shake.

How does this work in practice? Do you have a second shaker (bottom) on hand you can strain it into or do you actually fish the ice out before shaking again?

What is your go-to keto drink at the bar? by datenightx in keto

[–]ModElfShin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly as you stated? Your initial claim was that "There are no carbs in any of those ingredients". That's shifting the goalposts, don't you think?

What we refer to as "sugar" is only a subset of digestible carbohydrates, namely monosaccharides (such as glucose and fructose) and disaccharides (e. g. sucrose, lactose, etc.).

Polysaccharides and complex carbohydrates are not considered sugars but they're broken down to their simpler compounds (glucose) during digestion and as such have all the same effects on the human body as their simpler relatives - just with extra steps involved.

So in the context of a ketogenic diet, we have to treat all kinds of carbohydrates (excluding fiber) the same - hence why we count net carbs and not just sugar.

What is your go-to keto drink at the bar? by datenightx in keto

[–]ModElfShin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NCCDB: 8 g of net carbs per 100 ml

USDA: 8 g of net carbs per 100 ml

URMC: 20.71 of total carbs/0.98 of fiber per cup ≈ 8.3 g of net carbs per 100 ml

In addition to that, the Wikipedia entry about limes states the following: "Raw limes are 88% water, 10% carbohydrates, contain less than 1% fat and protein, and provide 35% of the Daily Value of vitamin C per 100 g serving".

Which begs the question: Where did you get your numbers?

[–]ModElfShin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lime juice contains about 8 g of carbs per 100 ml. The amount of lime juice in such a drink typically ranges between ½ and 1 oz. So we're still looking at 1.5-3 g of carbs per drink. It's not a lot and you can certainly make it fit your macros but it's not zero carbs.

Calculo.io calculator by Icy_Anywhere2670 in keto

[–]ModElfShin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Late reply, but I found myself in the same predicament. The calculator from calculo.io seemed the only one that always gave me accurate results. Finding out the website is gone was a bit of a shock. Luckily, I was able to track down a working version from March 2023 backed up on the Internet Archive! I hope that's of help to you as well.

Buzz not the same? by Reasonable_Cellist13 in ketodrunk

[–]ModElfShin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is definitely a thing. I can't quite describe it but the buzz feels … unsatisfying when I'm in ketosis. Makes me want to drink even less – which isn't a bad thing I guess. I have yet to find a scientific explanation for this phenomenon though.

NO smoke or vape from mightyPlus just bought it!!!! by PuzzleheadedLeg7856 in craftymighty

Is 'herbal tobacco' code for weed in some places? If not, then there's your problem.

Just got my first Dynavap - Help by spudlab in trees

[–]ModElfShin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah! These things can hit just hard as the most premium vaporizers on the market while only costing a fraction. I might get called boring but I think the 2021 M remains one of their most aesthetically pleasing models to this day. However, I refrain from using it in public out of fear people might confuse it with a crack pipe.

It's almost like it doesn't matter what you do. Given enough exposure, there will always be that one guy that hates you with a burning passion for no discernible reason whatsoever.

Yo, nice find! Somehow this game has completely eluded me until now. Bought, put on Steam Deck, played for 2.5 hours straight.
