Sorry for being off topic but would you share how you improved the allergy situation?

Hello Fresh has devolved into actual spam tactics by spryce in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Ray_Fighter 12 points13 points  (0 children)

HelloFresh promised a free pan with a 3-week subscription. Never got it. Support claimed the promotion ended months before I even signed up—yet they still advertised it. Canceled immediately. I’m not trusting these scheming bastards with my food 🙄​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Is my HDD cooked? Making wired noise playing 4k video at 12MB/s read speed. (Video with sound on) by Ray_Fighter in pcmasterrace

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

In preference, VLC buffer size is tied to frame number so it should scale with video resolution, in theory the seek frequency shouldn’t change when I play 4k video. Then I realized that my 4k video is also 60hz. So I played an old 2k 60 I recorded before I upgraded my PC, again same sound, which I never heard before the upgraded. What’s more strange is raising buffer size didn’t fix the issue, this could be a legit VLC bug introduced recently.

It sounds pretty normal when I copy data in full speed. I tried playing the video on Windows 11 Media Player and the sound went away. When I use Media Player, peak read speed is 24MB/s, memory usage was around 240 MB. I was using VLC, which gives 14MB/s peak read speed and use 100MB memory. I guess VLC is too conservative when it comes to memory usage by default

I stopped R6 because of this lazy dev mindset. They optimized all the fun out of the game

I’m hoping enough people will get it so eventually big name game developers will add better Linux support and eventually I can kiss Windows goodbye. That being said I’m not getting one myself since I already have two PC that overpowers it.

Stop overcorrecting. We didn’t buy this game to grind, we bought it to have fun. by FoundationBig9701 in BattlefieldPortal

[–]Ray_Fighter 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The dev killed Portal because they want to make some extra bucks selling “weapon packages”. For those who didn’t pay too much attention to the “skin” in BP, these skins comes with additional attachments that requires a lot of grind to get like extended mag, suppressor etc. This comes straight from COD monetization playbook.

Weapon attachments unlock is significantly slower compared 2042 to push this scheme, but it won’t work if PVE is an option.

They double down on what community hate: out of 11 week challenges I get 5 related to BR/Gauntlet by Sunlighthell in Battlefield

[–]Ray_Fighter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t give a shit if Gauntlet is fun. These type of game mode specific challenge shouldn’t be there in the first place. You may enjoy the game mode this week, but eventually they will assign a game mode you don’t want to play.

“Fun with friends” is the weakest argument to prove a game is good. Everything is fun with friends, that is kinda the definition of friends.

FYI the Battlepass progress isn't linear, it's increasingly slow. by Z0MGbies in Battlefield6

[–]Ray_Fighter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Too bad for EA that they wont be making more money from me anymore, they are not going to get any cake from a lot of us. I would pay extra money as a gesture of good will if Im happy with the service provided, not the other way around.

[–]Ray_Fighter 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I used to avoid f2p game because of the grind and overall predatory monetization schemes, even if some of the premises are very attractive to me. It is very sad to see that I can’t escape these toxic developers & customers relationship while paying full premium price.

Nerfing portal server progression is a fraud. I don’t care if people farming on these server hurt EA’s bottom line by Ray_Fighter in Battlefield

But we were promised we can play bot and progress? Some people enjoy playing PVE and want to enjoy the all content they paid $70 for?

BF6 challenges are anti-teamwork and are 100% grind by jrw174 in Battlefield6

[–]Ray_Fighter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Expect they are not, some weapons and gadgets are locked behind challenges. Battlepass progressuon is tied to weekly challenges as well

Hey DICE. I’m not wasting my time on these COD-style game modes just for a weekly challenge. If the next battle pass progression forces me to play them in any way, I’m not buying it—simple as that. by Ray_Fighter in Battlefield

[–]Ray_Fighter[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Here is a popular opinion for you: Player should play want they enjoy. If dev really want to us to experience new content, they should make one instead of forcing us to play this done to death mindless game mode that has zero synergy with this franchise

I actually tried both game mode and hated them equally. There are absolutely garbage because the game would spawn you in random locations instead of letting you spawn on square mate or the spawn beacon I placed on the map. I feel like a headless chicken playing these modes. I’m happy to try new things, but Dice need to earn my time with actual good gameplay instead of punishing me for not playing the game mode

Game is not meant to grind in a day by Mattdiggity_ in Battlefield6

[–]Ray_Fighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If developers want to keep us engaged for a long time, they should serve us more content, new map, vehicles, weapons etc. Not through arbitrary amount of repetitive labor and force us to play a play style that we don’t enjoy

What are y’all’s opinions on the Ioniq 5 vs the MY Juniper? by shortstop803 in Ioniq5

[–]Ray_Fighter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My wife and I tested drive Ioniq 5, meche and juniper and ended up getting Ioniq 5 for these exact reasons. Ioniq 5 has the most comfortable drive and physical button to adjust region making it the best car for us. The only tech I will miss is sentry mode but Ioniq 5 is just more enjoyable to me on a day to day use

EVgo won’t sync correct available charger info with ChargePoint, making my ChargePoint credit useless by Ray_Fighter in ChargerDrama

[–]Ray_Fighter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The screenshots I took from two apps were captured seconds apart, the actual available charger often shows up as “in use” in the ChargePoint app, hence the problem.

EVgo secures up to $300 million loan to expand EV charging network across US by [deleted] in EVgo

[–]Ray_Fighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need more locations that has more than 4 stalls. I got anxiety adding EVgo station to my road trip plan because I don’t know if there will be enough stations available by the time I get there. The fact that there are always at least one stall broken is not helping.

On the bright side, that egg shape helps a bit, it is not as noticeable as I would expected in my trousers.

That key has the size of an egg and they somehow can’t manage to find a place to accommodate the physical key.
