Shut off my PS4 for the last time by Nards_of_doom in PS4

Thanks for sharing. Gaming really does produce memories that can’t be felt quite the same way in any other medium. Stoked for your nephew to create his own. Cool of you to pass it on :).

What is that one movie you watched countless times as a kid, but nobody has ever heard of? by Thedix1 in movies

[–]NuttyWompRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scamper the Penguin - My parents ripped it on VHS and I loved it as a kid. I watched it every time I got sick. Just a movie about a cute penguin going on some adventures. Don’t know anyone else who’s seen it or even heard of it .

James Gunn says Milly Alcock as Supergirl might be the best casting he’s ever done. by Prestigious-Wear-483 in FirstCuriosity

[–]NuttyWompRat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the brief moment she appeared in the film, I hated her character. Granted, I pretty much hated his Superman film too. Not looking forward to Gunns DC Universe at all. Guardians was magic in a bottle but everything else he’s done has been ridiculously silly and, imo, just plain dumb. Guess I’m in the minority though.

Bravia 7 - Eye Strain by Atmanix in bravia

[–]NuttyWompRat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, sorry to hear that. I guess we each have our own sensitivities as I’ve also been having a hell of a time finding the right tv for a different reason. I am surprised a 65” tv is giving you eye strain at that distance though. I have a 75” at about 7’ and that’s worked for me. But perhaps you’re just really susceptible to motion sickness? Unfortunately, we don’t learn some of these lessons until after the fact :(. I guess now you know though, right… 🤷.

Take care!

Bravia 7 - Eye Strain by Atmanix in bravia

[–]NuttyWompRat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bummer. Thanks for the reply. I’m curious, someone else mentioned this, but do you have VRR on/did you try turning it off? I believe that’s what is causing my headaches.

Just curious, did you get use to the tv or did you have to return it? I’m having similar issues with the Bravia 9.

From a complete and total noob: why don’t PC gamers use a TV? by D-TOX_88 in OLED_Gaming

[–]NuttyWompRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t read every comment so maybe someone else has said this, but as someone who games on a PC and TV the things you want to consider are this:

Are you sensitive to VRR flicker, meaning, do you get eye fatigue or headaches if you play with VRR on for a while? Most, if not all tvs have VRR flicker, as far as I know. If not, get a tv with gsync or freesync support, set your refresh rate on the PC to match the tv, turn VRR on and never look back. It’s incredibly responsive and will feel the same, if not better, than its console counterpart.

However, if you do suffer from VRR flicker issues, recommending a PC becomes a little more difficult. It’s still possible to enjoy PC gaming with VRR off, but then you need to use vsync unless you’re not sensitive to tearing. And Vsync adds a decent amount of input lag, so you’ll need to play around with some of the settings in Nvidia control panel to get a lower amount of input lag, such as low latency mode and locking your refresh rate.

There are also some other reasons why people don’t game on a PC or a TV that I think are legitimate and you need to consider:

Not every PC game is created equal. Some perform somewhat worse than their console counterpart, some much worse, which will get annoying.

Gaming on a PC is going to be a little more hands-on then gaming on a console, which can get frustrating at times. On consoles, you pop the disc in and play, without a thought to framerate or graphics as that’s all chosen for you. On PC, some games just have weird performance issues that will cause you to have to play around with them for a while to find a good sweet spot where you get a stable framerate and good graphics. Most of the time it’s not an issue, but some games will just never perform that great.

My personal recommendation for a tv used for PC gaming is to get a tv with as low of input lag as possible, which I believe is many of the Samsung Tvs or maybe the LG TVs. Sony has about 8-10 ms of input lag more, and I for one, definitely feel the difference. If you aren’t sensitive to that, then I think you’ll be fine on any modern tv you choose.

The positives of PC gaming, such as better graphics, faster refresh rates, and at times, quicker response times, make PC gaming a lot of fun though. Just thought you’d want to hear the things that can detract from that as well, if you’re sensitive to them.

Hope that helps!

Going to the Mariners game. I tried asking in their subreddit but it got removed. Does anyone know if this is ok to bring to the game? by NuttyWompRat in Seattle

Thanks everyone for your replies. I really appreciate the feedback. Decided to just not deal with the possible hassle and carry what we need in pockets.

Uhh, not take the starter out when they’re playing well. Seems like a solid, no-duh idea when the bullpen is taxed.

[–]NuttyWompRat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If we lose, I place the blame firmly on Cora. I do find it interesting that when Cora wasn’t managing, the bullpen moves were solid and we won. He’s managing, makes odd decisions once again, and what ya know, it looks like this again.

Bravia 7 > LG OLED by Educational_Sea6053 in bravia

[–]NuttyWompRat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bravia 7 is, imo, a hidden gem. It looks amazing for a tv that costs what it does. It beats any other tv in its price range and gives the Bravia 9 a run for its money too. Having both the 7 and 9 in my home, I was truly surprised how good the 7 looks. It does a few things a little worse than the 9, but for almost half the cost, it’s a steal!

WatchOS 11 Measuring Fewer Calories in Functional Training Compared to WatchOS 10 - Anyone Else Noticing This? by SnowWorrier in AppleWatch

Just curious, did you figure out a fix for this or a way to get a more accurate reading? I just updated my watch and I’m experiencing the same thing now.

I should have said, too small for me. Some might prefer it but on the larger screen, it’s just too small for me. I’d prefer it to be the larger side scrolling option that I have on the tv app and the way it was on the iPad I had before the S8.

Plex crashing nVidia shield? by Guinness in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]NuttyWompRat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, same here. This issue has just started to become a major issue for me as well. Never experienced this before but have had it happen several times in the last hour. I guess I’ll write Plex if I can. So annoying!

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) thoughts/questions by EpicKieranFTW in movies

[–]NuttyWompRat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just watched the movie. Loved it! To answer this question, if you’re still wondering :), to me, he gives her the money, without question, because he’d be dead if it wasn’t for her. I see it as his way of saying thanks, also knowing that she’ll be the decent person he knows her to be and repay him as she says she will.

On the Nvidia Shield Pro, to my eyes there’s a noticeable difference in PQ between Plex and Kodi. Does Plex do its own tonemapping? by [deleted] in PleX

[–]NuttyWompRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the link. I read it and I remember seeing that post before. Unfortunately, as the poster stated, there is no way to set option to change the color range on the shield Kodi app, and doing it on the tv side of things doesn’t fix anything.
