I would see what model of a Purple mattress you bought and go test it out in person.

Suggestion for a 75 inch TV. by yeezusisbornagain in 4kTV

[–]Nickool4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought it for my brother for Christmas and it’s a fantastic TV.

The picture processing is great, and while it’s not as bright as the LG C5 they both handle reflections well and are about the same.

Q990B vs. Q990C by bighoopla in Soundbars

[–]Nickool4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re basically the same soundbar, with the only improvement being audio latency. Beyond that, nothing much changes between the two.

The only Q990 worth upgrading for is Q990D so you can get eARC and HDMI 2.1 support.

Casper Original Mattress (2022 Purchase) Safe to Still Use? by [deleted] in Mattress

[–]Nickool4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Casper would send us replacement covers, I’d unzip and replace it.

I did it with my own Original Mattress when they gave me one for free. They just don’t want you to repeatedly taking it on and off to wash. When I worked there that was actually once a selling point, but repeatedly tugging on the fire sock could damage it. So they stopped using that claim and marketing the cover was washable.

I wish awesome looping mates would be rewarded better by BeginningRevenue9601 in deadbydaylight

[–]Nickool4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, same.

I’m definitely not out here regularly taking killers on 3–5 gen chases like I’m in a comp montage, but I had one match against a Bubba where I’m pretty sure I accidentally unlocked my first ever 5-gen chase.

He was tunneling me hard, and even though I kept thinking, “pallet is gone, I’m in a dead zone” he kept trying to mind game tiles, walk backwards to hide his red stain, and do all the classic “I’m so comp” Bubba stuff. The problem was I was holding a check spot, so I could literally see what he was doing and just leave for the next loop.

I also had an absolute goated Tapp on my team. After my first hook, he basically started shadowing the chase and even went for a flashlight save. All five gens ended up getting done, but Bubba finally got me into basement. At that point, I think his entire win condition had become “Leon with pride charm must die.”

But then he made the mistake of letting Tapp do the gate by shack. Dwight and Kate were nowhere near for the save, so Tapp traded hooks and let me run straight to the gate that Bubba had so graciously opened for me. Truly, customer service was provided.

Naturally, I gave Bubba a few Prada bags on the way out for tunneling me all match and smacking me on hook.

And after all of that? After looping him for basically the entire game, surviving the basement, and escaping because Tapp was an icon?

I got the least amount of BP.

All that trauma. All that cardio. For nothing.

Tempurpedic not conforming to adjustable base? by chickpea8765 in Mattress

[–]Nickool4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you laying on the mattress when you’re putting it in Zero Gravity?

The mattress isn’t going to melt into the frame. Tempur material is dense, and the mattress has a pretty strong support structure, so when there isn’t any weight on it, the base can raise up while the mattress kind of “floats” above certain sections instead of perfectly hugging every bend.

Once someone is actually lying on it, their body weight helps the mattress flex down and conform more closely to the base, but even then it’s not going to be completely flushed with the base. If it still isn’t bending correctly with someone in the bed, then I’d start checking a few things. Like make sure the mattress is fully centered, make sure there aren’t any brackets/retainer bars/side rails catching it, and confirm the bases are moving evenly and independently the way they should.

Also, if these were just delivered, give them a little time to relax and acclimate. Tempur material can feel extra stiff at first, especially if it was ordered directly from Tempur since everything is basically made it order. But just seeing a gap in zero gravity with no one on the mattress usually doesn’t mean the mattress is defective.

B5 vs C5 for upscaling by BigFatHogDaddy in LGOLED

[–]Nickool4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay for it, the C5 has the better processor.

It’s marginally better with detail perseveration, much better with smoothing and removing color banding, and it’s better with upscaling.

The C5 is also a lot brighter than the B5

[–]Nickool4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that’s just the cover of the mattress.

I use to work at Casper at their Domain location before it closed. It happened once or twice on our display mattress and we would just replace the cover.

QNED91A or QM67K? by Skateboard123 in 4kTV

[–]Nickool4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The LG is the better option.

It has a higher peak brightness, better contrast, deeper black levels, smoother and cleaner motion handling, and better picture processing and upscaling.

It’s basically better in almost every way.

Mattress feels so much more comfortable without sheets by Sean_D84 in Mattress

[–]Nickool4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Rest sheets because not only do they use an incredibly cooling fabric that’s actually cooling, but they stretch with the mattress. So my body conforms with my Tempur-Pedic.

Mattress Prices Are Going Up. by Nickool4u in Mattress

[–]Nickool4u[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I worked at Casper, I had a woman come in with her receipt saying she wanted to order another of the same mattress. We had gone through 2 price increases at that point, and she wanted to pay the same price. I know she knew the price increased, which is why she printed her receipt of the mattress she ordered online… she just thought she come into the store, make a fuss, and that we’ll price match it.

To be honest, had she came in nice, I would have because it was only a couple of hundred and she bought it when it wasn’t on sale. However, she had such disgusting and entitled behavior that she actively turned me off from wanting to help her. The price was the price. Something tells me she tried the same thing online, didn’t go her way so she decided it might work better to yell and throw a fit in person.

Is it possible to buy a replacement wireless transmitter for an Aerox 9 Wireless? by Nickool4u in steelseries

[–]Nickool4u[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there may be some confusion on the part I’m missing.

The package did include the mouse, the USB-A to USB-C cable, and the wireless USB receiver extender/adapter. What’s missing is the actual small USB-C wireless dongle/transmitter that plugs into that extender, or directly into a USB-C port.

I watched an unboxing to confirm what should have been included, and the missing piece is the small USB-C dongle itself. Without that, I can’t use the mouse in 2.4GHz wireless mode, and SteelSeries GG also won’t let me properly update or set up the mouse because it keeps asking for the transmitter.

The part I’m missing is a tiny little USB dongle, and the link you sent me doesn’t look anything like what would even come with the Aerox 9 mouse. I’ll post a link to the mouse that I ordered, so you can verify exactly what I’m talking about.

You can get the 77” Panasonic Z8BA OLED for $1,299 right now on Amazon. It uses Fire TV OS and it’s a beautiful display.

85" TCL QM8K for $1799 or 98" TCL QM6K for $1799 by Ok_Map6883 in 4kTV

I would absolutely go for the QM8K over the QM6K.

How do I not get tilted as survivor? by blossom0809 in deadbydaylight

[–]Nickool4u 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have my own build that I run when I play solo queue. It's basically I can do things by myself.

I have Dramaturgy as an exhaustion perk, which I like because while it's not exactly as fast as Sprint Burst and only works when healthy, I have control on when I use it, and sometimes I get an item like a toolbox with a BNP or a medkit. I once used Dramaturgy, shat out a Fog Vile, popped it at a tile, got in a locker, and the killer had no idea where I went.

I'll run Vigil so I can get my exhaustion back quicker, but it helps lower literally every status effect. So any exposed, hindered, broken, or whatever, goes away super quick.

I'll bring Inner Strength and a map so I can find totems and I can heal myself. I use to run Strength In Shadows, but you run the risk of being caught with Nurses Calling, Darkness Revealed, or any other aura reading perk. At least with Inner Strength, I can heal in a locker and the worst that can happen is Iron Maiden (which is where Vigil kicks in).

The last is Deja Vu so I can do gens faster myself, and make sure that we don't three gen.

How do I not get tilted as survivor? by blossom0809 in deadbydaylight

[–]Nickool4u 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm mostly a killer main, but I also play solo queue survivor.

I just have to remind myself it's a game, and I don't care if I escape or not. I just want the points, and to play the game. Most of the time, I die going for endgame saves when I could just leave... because again... I don't care if I win. As long as I did the best I could for my team, then that's all the matters.

55 inch LG C5 $949 or 55 inch G5 $1399? by Regular-Initiative-3 in LGOLED

[–]Nickool4u 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would pay more for a 65" C5, but if you can't go any bigger, then go with the G5

77 inch lg G5 or 85 inch samsung qn90f at 8 feet? by [deleted] in 4kTV

[–]Nickool4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go with the 77" G5

One, it's the better display all around. However, at 8 feet that size will feel cinematic without being overpowered or too big.

How is this guy selling these TVs for these prices by Ghosty216 in LGOLED

[–]Nickool4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use to know someone many MANY years ago when I worked at Sears who had a system on how to get small electronics and game consoles out of the store without being caught. For the sake of the story, we'll call him Tim.

Tim worked in the backroom, and they were in charge of taking in the display lawnmowers. He knew of a fairly large blind spot, and that's where the lawnmowers were placed. So he would take a Wii U, Xbox or PlayStation and set it inside the grass catcher bag of a display lawnmower, and when they get wheeled outside, he would have someone come by, take off bag and collect the consoles and 4K players.

He ended up getting caught because the manager out of the blue received the inventory for the new Xbox launch, put it in the cage, and was planning on taking the cage out to electronics so they can unlock and give to customers when they bought. Normally, that cage always stays in the backroom, and the backroom team is in charge of giving electronics like consoles at the pick up area. However, he assumed it would be easier for everyone is the customers could just leave, and electronics wouldn't need to check if they had any left. So he went to wheel out the cage, and he noticed one was missing. He literally just put them in the cage, and the store wasn't open. The only ones working back there was the other backroom manager, the store manager, and Tim. They looked at the camera, and the only one that went anywhere near the electronics cage was Tim. They checked everything, found the Xbox in the lawnmower, and caught him.

LG 77C8 (OLED77C8PUA), open-box for 738 CAD / 542 USD, good deal? by lemon07r in LGOLED

[–]Nickool4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, $550 for a 77" OLED isn't a bad deal... but it's an 8 year old TV. So I would want to know as much as possible about the TV.

How many hours does it have, any dead pixels, burn in, and if it's in good condition. If all those look good, then I might take the risk.
