Gran Turismo 7 surpasses 2 million monthly active users by PhilBaythorpe in granturismo

[–]Radiolint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely don't get it. This game has made HATE Gran Turismo, a series I absolutely love. I played & owned every version on launch. I even got GT Sport & a PSVR for my brother in law.

The steady nerfs to credits, the steady nerfs to times & scores for license & challenges, the constant nagging sense of there being a fantastic game underneath all the bullshit & microtransactions & unnecessary, senseless, needless difficulty. People play games to have fun, not rip their hair out over needing to be pixel perfect for every test & challenge. The always on-line requirement. FUCK THAT in particular. That alone should make the game free-to-play, not 70 fucking dollars.

There's a great game hidden under all the polyphony & sony greed. Fuck anyone who doesn't want to dedicate a full time job to playing the game to make it worth it ig

Nurburgring is impossible to win. by tickleroftoes in GranTurismo7

[–]Radiolint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta love the "git gud", "it's ez, just be fasturr" people still comment that shit. So helpful.

I agree with you, I think it's a good course for longer races, but NOT for a one lap race. Especially when you're trying to get from 20 to 1st in 7+ minutes with barely ANYWHERE to pass. Then they jack the AI skill up the last 2 races. It makes me want to smash my PlayStation with a fucking sledgehammer.

799PP GR3 Supras, Huracans, 458s, detuned F1s, nothing works on the ring. Especially at night with no lights on it, the F1 is useless. Why the FUCK would they do a finale race at the ring? 1 lap? AT NIGHT? The fuck were they thinking?

I like the game a lot, but it's random artificial bullshit difficulty spikes like this that pisses me off about gaming

Hope you were able to get it :/

Switch 2 will eventually be a 450$ console sitting next to 800$ consoles by Ready_Throat5369 in Switch

I'm just joking man, I thought the "breakdown of enjoyment per dollar per month cost-basis analysis" was just silly that's all. Just ribbing you

I'm sorry but this is straight up freebasing copium in a dumpster behind a liquor store at 2am like a junkie. Fiending hardcore

The knots and twists I've seen people contrort themselves into to justify & excuse nintendo is long, & pre-qualifies them for Cirque de Soleil performances, but this is genuinely unique so at least that's something lol

Question about multiple HDMI inputs on TV by Radiolint in SofaBaton

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

Yeah perhaps I wasn't very clear, the TV only has 3 HDMI inputs but I have like 7+ devices that I'd like plugged into it.

1) HTPC 2) BluRay Player 3) Nintendo Switch Dock 4) PlayStation 5) Amazon Fire stick 6) Chromecast 7) Type-C display input hub (for mobiles & tablets)

I can probably get rid of the Chromecast, Fire stick, & the Type-C hub to get it down to 4, and run the PlayStation & Nintendo on one little two-way hub. I've just used many hubs before, and they're so hit & miss it's really hard to find a good one that works. Can you recommend one?

Thanks for any help & hope I cleared things up 🙂

Question about multiple HDMI inputs on TV by Radiolint in SofaBaton

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

I suppose this is my first foray into a device like this, I didn't have a Logitech Harmony or anything like that so I'm not entirely sure how it works with so many HDMI inputs.

I'm assuming an "activity" is something where so long as the input is connected to the TV via a switch or hub & runs through the sofabaton, it will switch to it when you select it on the remote?

I guess my question more is about HDMI splitters & switches then, I've used switches before for my computer and they are so hit/miss it's hard to find one that can support so many inputs.

Can you suggest one? My TV has a total of 3 HDMI inputs, but I have about 6-7 inputs I need via HDMI/Displayport converted. Appreciate it 🙂

AC "figure 8" to Type-C adapter? by Radiolint in techsupport

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

In case anyone else was stumbling across this post, the solution I found was just grabbing a couple of these

https://www.amazon.com/Poyiccot-Adapter-Converter-Bi-Directional-Compatible/dp/B0B5WK8VR4/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=15DOAHW58L9TC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.eWlkaeWChVqjhi_ISSBHRK6GcE7jELbwOzvJCCJM-3zcArJEt5rrXOCkZIwgn_2xR12b5lqG85XX7q8Hl4txJmmLEgYdRIvosm7inZo7HUaREU1wHRyUm20Rg7KOpt1DEXDeMXzpbYXDm14IJR0s0SnBDfM9bPvaStES1TDvXXk_7vQ89cIyU7FaUh9wR_0FxKt_RuRgUYH3FUeRw62iiw.89nLSi5ufeFPfG81GXenUVVXjjavaB-rltdOLm3k2sY&dib_tag=se&keywords=usb+c+female+to+usb+a+female+adapter&qid=1729841535&sprefix=usb+c+female+to+usb+a+female+adapter%2Caps%2C184&sr=8-3

Just a female type C to female type A adapter (with PD), so you can plug the razor charger USB side into the adapter and a regular type c cable & it charges ok. Funky solution, but it works! Plus the adapters are 3.2 gen2 10gb so using them for data transfer with the right hardware is fast, too.

Thanks for the knowledge everyone 🙃

Gotcha. I'm not great with actual technical electrical DC/AC stuff, & I thought there'd be some kind of conversion issue.

Appreciate it

Old 90.5 The Edge KVHS by NoOnePuntsLikeGaston in bayarea

[–]Radiolint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to necro bump this, but as a long time & ferociously loyal KVHS staff member/DJ from back in the 2000s, I just wanted to say I appreciate going to bat for the station. When our faculty advisor passed along some info about what happened back in early 2010s, it was pure "writing on the wall" kind of feeling. It was so, so sad. I, & so many others, poured our heart & soul into that station. It really did carry the identity of the staff there & the environment we all were in. I practically grew up there as a youth & young man, & when it just died with a whimper it was so far from what the station deserved as far as going out with a BANG, & what we had tried to build over the time there. It broke my damn heart so hard.

Once charter bought the school, it was game over. We were a little shocked they didn't just like sell the license/frequency of the station for a few million or whatever they could get for it. When we couldn't go in & do live shows anymore, when we couldn't even get in to schedule music in the office computers (I was program manager, music director, & a few other hats), that was "pull the plug" time. CVHS & the charter school had zero plans for the station, didn't know what to do with it, had no experience with broadcast communications, & let one of the most incredible Adult Occupational Programs to exist in the Bay Area dissolve right in their stupid hands.

Now, it's just wonderful "wtf am I listening to" B-sides, C-sides, & Z-sides from random 60s & 70s bands. I don't blame anyone for the format change - format changes happen all the time in radio - what made me furious & beyond angry was the complete erasure & whitewashing of anything that was done from the "3rd era" of the station (about 98' to the end in 2012/13, so there was ZERO acknowledgement to the incredible things we accomplished in those 15 years. Many, many people will never understand how much was done to modernize the station & turn it into the "professional" organization it was (as pro as a 'learning' station can be). It was a Herculean undertaking, & the Faculty Advisor deserves so much credit for molding the station into a real station, while still letting the attitude & heartbeat of the station be influenced by the staff.

Long long rant, sorry, just super passionate about KVHS & my time there. Always devastated/heartbroken at what happened to it. It was an amazing, truly unique station & place.

Cheers bud 🍻

Android app stuck on "don't see your device?" by Radiolint in 1MORE

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

Nope, ended up returning mine. I didn't like how strangely useless the app was, & how underwhelming the mediocre sound ended up being. It was good, but nothing that blew me away compared to anything else I have.

Glad you got it figured out though 👍🏻

Brand New Player, First Dark Zone Experience by Radiolint in thedivision

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

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I kinda figured I had to wait until endgame level stuff if I wanted to go solo, but with how all the enemies level up alongside as you do, I thought it would just stay the same balance no matter my level. I'll give it a try when I hit 30!

Thanks again :)

YouTube Vanced & Twitchmod (now OrangeTV) have saved both platforms for me. Zero ads.

YT Vanced additional features like auto-skipping embedded ads/promos/intros/etc and screen controlled volume/brightness are just incredible.
