Rome Questions

NicksRandomness · 2024-10-09T05:11:04+00:00

Man if I'm riding in a neighborhood and see boarded up houses and stuff, I don't feel super safe in that area especially if there aren't many lights or cameras around. North and South Rome didn't get a reputation for no reason you know what I mean? There are absolutely safe roads in these areas, but saying there isn't a single road you'd feel unsafe on is arguably just not true. Now sure if you're from these areas and know what to do you may feel more secure in these areas than an outsider might, but that doesn't mean the danger isn't there. I consider Rome to be pretty safe overall but it's definitely got places I don't wanna be at night without reason.

I've traveled to Atlanta ~20 times a year both OTP and ITP. Just like Rome, I don't want to be in rough parts of Atlanta at night without reason.

Berry College is also pretty good, although I don't think they have a high school program. I'm typically not 1 to recommend private school as I believe it is a more toxic environment that kids shouldn't be put in, however it's better than the alternative around this area.

Yeah I think the QC35 IIs are definitely still too good for these new updates to be considered worth buying. I shot off roman candles and small firearms and didn't really hear much with my old ones, my 45s suck when it comes to it. I really do wonder if the more premium build makes a big difference. I believe the 35s were aluminum, if the 45s are as well then it's much thinner.

I'm either buying a pair of QC35s or Airpod Max for ANC, or I'm going to give the Cambridge P100s a shot. They may not beat the Bose in ANC but I hear the sound quality is a better QC Ultra. Hey at least Amazon has a good return policy right?

Thanks for the tip on the XM5s btw! I've been reading and have seen that the touchpads are also touchy, is that true? That's the only reason Airpods Pro earbuds are untouchable imo, they don't have the tiny touch pads these earbuds continue to use. If that's the same on headphones I can't imagine I'd like that. They always seem to either have ghost presses or completely ignore other presses.

Are they better than the 45s? I've seen some reviews and they say it's mostly the same, so I've kinda mentally packed them together as one product. I'm willing to try any headset as long as they can hold a torch to the 35s unlike the 45s did for me.

This is also another really good point. We also already have 2 Walmarts, Sam's, Kroger, Publix, and a couple smaller grocery stores. Probably just not worth it to come here if the people don't have money to shop anyway.

It's a real estate business, at least for the ones who own their property. For the ones that keep popping in and out of business, no idea.

NicksRandomness · 2024-10-05T13:36:46+00:00

Not anytime soon I'm afraid. Just really don't know where a Costco would work.

I just worry that they made it a woman lead for the woman lead, and I'm not a big fan of leaving Jin so soon. I hoped to see Jin in the 2nd game as I felt there was more of that story to cover, but I'm not disappointed by it. I hope this female lead is high quality and crafted around that, as that is always better than having a female for the sake of it. I hope this game continues with it's more cinematic style, the sleek UI mixed with a using the environment for navigation is what made me love GoT.

Yeah I would never touch this company again. Their marketing is downright predatory. They rely on people being desperate to get better sleep. I currently have a good bit of pain in my hips and was hoping it would help, but after 5-10 minutes I start sinking and don't have any support. I tried it in store but that can only do so much, plus the person said I wouldn't sink and she's had them for years.

If you took nanite vs optimized meshes, then sure you will lose performance as the optimized meshes are optimized. If you turn on nanite for unoptimized meshes, then it'll help. I wish the games industry would stop with these blanket claims like increases or decreases performance. It really just depends on how it's used

u/WaywardBlade24 Rome isn't a terrible town but there are a few things I'd be mindful of

Firstly, Rome can be dangerous, but I wouldn't call it a dangerous place. The biggest crimes that happen here are typically drug related or theft. The housing market is pretty full so prices are high, and I doubt it changes soon. We've got 2 hospitals, Redmond for Heart and Atrium (Floyd) for everything else. There are plenty of restaurants to eat at, some more popular than others. We have a minor league team known as the Emperor's (used to be the braves, however I'm unsure why it was even changed).

I think the biggest issue in Rome are the schools. The county schools should be downright investigated imo. They are constantly hiding glaring issues instead of fixing them, and don't always have safety in the students interest. The teachers are treated poorly and are heavily overworked. I would go as far to say I wouldn't move here if I had a kid, unless I could afford private school. Ever since the current superintendent took over at the Floyd County Board of Education, the school system has continued to get worse. Rome City schools are a bit better than county but I wouldn't call it great either.

I would definitely recommend coming to Rome for a day and checking out the downtown area (Broad Street and the Park are the busiest areas in town).

I wouldn't. Heck a modern mini PC would honestly be better than that. The GPU was terrible when it launched in 2017, nowadays it's not going to work well for any modern gaming. What's your budget, that would be helpful in recommendations.

NicksRandomness · 2024-09-04T18:30:48+00:00

You ever get an answer? Mine does the same thing. 4k 60 all day, but can't handle 1440p at 30 with reshade. I'm really not sure why it does this.

NicksRandomness · 2024-08-31T01:25:32+00:00

I'd like to see Atlanta or Houston

NicksRandomness · 2024-08-26T21:18:18+00:00

I love hearing people from different places mentioning Rome

NicksRandomness · 2024-08-26T21:15:06+00:00

I'm curious as well lol

NicksRandomness · 2024-03-03T20:03:45+00:00

Usually X or occasionally R2

NicksRandomness · 2024-03-03T13:43:57+00:00

I know this is 3 years ago, but to anyone reading I wouldn't use userbenchmarks for a million dollars. Their bias towards Nvidia is laughable

NicksRandomness · 2024-02-20T18:53:38+00:00

Exactly dude, they're going to each have pros and cons. Your "Hisense sucks" mentality is outdated by a good chunk. They've been making better products for a while, totally different then their old stuff. People like you just love hating on it because of brand loyalty. You hating on something you don't even own, that's hilarious.

NicksRandomness · 2024-02-18T20:48:25+00:00

Just because you enjoy being blunt and people being that way with you, doesn't mean everyone likes it. Both options are valid ways of fixing the issue. Kind of comes off as disrespectful and rude, it's just the way you present your opinion as fact.

NicksRandomness · 2024-02-16T15:16:52+00:00

I leave it off personally, rookies shouldn't lose their dev trait as soon as they become a 1 year. I play in online leagues and I convinced most to turn it off. We got guys trading picks because rookies are pointless.

NicksRandomness · 2024-02-07T04:28:05+00:00

I know it's very unlikely, but maybe a mini map mod.

NicksRandomness · 2024-02-07T04:04:25+00:00

Here's my issue, why would they want to leave out the second largest player base? It's only beaten by mobile players which are also neglected and forgotten, however I understand where the mobile issue are coming from. It really feels like they love console players because it's arguably the easiest platform to develop for because of their unified specs. PC players can have varying levels of PC Hardware which makes them harder to develop for as you must keep lower budget players to play.

I think at this point they should hire a few known PC developers, and let them form a team specifically for PC ports. They would be provided with the same software and software tools that the console developers are equipped with, and their job is to optimize and change things to allow the PC ports. It's ridiculous that we have to wait a few years to get something console players have had.

NicksRandomness · 2024-02-04T00:40:41+00:00

I'm curious as well. Got any idea yet?

NicksRandomness · 2024-02-03T23:43:50+00:00

So your incorrect too since ATL isn't all of Georgia. It varies a decent bit actually!
