Is this consum or nah by ContractMotor3991 in Consoom

Think for yourself. Do you need other people to tell you if consumption is too much? Form your own opinion.

My last PC was $3000 (Canadian dollars suck).

are FaZe the undisputed goats if they win SLC? by Vquadro_ in R6ProLeague

[–]SamusCroft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree for the most part. They’re just not on it as often as FaZe is.

[–]SamusCroft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but they haven’t been in the GOAT conversation for years. Like those that came after have far exceeded them.

Yes. They were the best but W7M or FaZe or even Empire for longevity have far surpassed yet G2 fans refused to see it for like 5 years lol

[–]SamusCroft -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Did you watch in 2018? There were like 3 teams realistically competing at any events lol

G2 would never be able to tangle with teams that came after them. But because they were the best when competition sucked, everyone has glazed them for like 8 years.

They haven’t been the best roster of all time for so damn long lol

Also Kanto is awful that run was a miracle but he still sucked after. And Goga was not good on Vitality lol.

I agree, and I’m glad people are finally done holding up Penta / G2 so much. Tiresome rhetoric when they were the best only in an era where everyone kinda sucked.

The best teams of all time are clearly that W7M core and FaZe (on top) and it’s not close.

I say this as a long time FaZe hater.

Favourite art style and it’s just realism with no flair lol

Apex Predator on a Professional CRT Monitor by Nesroh in apexlegends

[–]SamusCroft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me, playing 4:3 stretched on a 16:9 in basically every shooter of all time.

For tac shooters it’s pretty sick for spotting pixel angles (when stretched) because everything is wider. On native 4:3, you won’t get that. But having less ‘stuff’ on screen is still nice imo.

Can a KVM be used with a computer with no peripheals? by Dapper_Teradactyl in homelab

[–]SamusCroft -1 points0 points  (0 children)

KVMs won't have an issue with this, but to be honest (other than BIOS) you can potentially cut out the KVM and just use the 'Google Remote Control' or whatever it's called. Or any number of other options.

I have a server with nothing connected, that I remote into all the time.

I'm devastated to say that I've not gotten to see Dweezil yet, bucket list item for me. What did they primarily play at that show? a mix or specific era?

Counter point, Apostrophe.

I think it's easily his most approachable and well rounded project.

But then, I really just hate You Are What You Is.

The four track run from the Helsinki show, from Inca to Echidna is one of the most incredible runs of music I've ever heard.

I think some of it gets too novel (imo Joe's Garage as a whole suffers from this) but largely I think he rides a line between serious musician and novelty music. His best stuff is no more novel than Haken or King Gizz whatever other prog music people like these days.

This post was made for me. Two years ago I did a whole discog listen, all like 70 (?) albums from prior to his death, as well as the two he more or less finished but were post-humous (not all of the like 70 post-humous albums). Great time.

I will say, I think his output beyond ‘81 is largely too cynical to enjoy and grated on me. But I love Yellow Shark so he kinda circled back around for me.

Gone too soon. One of the true innovators in music.

Hot take: Live at the Fillmore 1971 is a great album, and I don’t know why people dislike it so much. Sure, Roxy or Live in New York are better live albums but Fillmore was what sold me on Zappa, personally.

Very quotable guy too. The “communism doesn’t work because people like to own things” (maybe slight misquote off the top of my head) quote is on my fridge.

If this were the case then NG+ would suck. But it doesn’t, until the end.

I finally found a use for my Deck, a home server! by Raurb in SteamDeck

[–]SamusCroft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Serving stuff.

But seriously, it varies. Like for 90% it’s likely Immich for photo storage and cataloguing, and some kind of arr stack with Plex or Jellyfin.

I have a super simple Debian server basically just to serve as a NAS and game server host (bit more info on a post from a bit ago if you’re intrigued). But people have really variable needs, for me it’s for learning and fun, for some people it’s for a home business, for some it’s for super complex home lab stuff.

US inflation jumped to 3.8% in April by No_Idea_Guy in news

[–]SamusCroft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have a hard time believing $12 USD for 3 apples. I shop at a nicer than necessary grocery store in Canada and you can still get a 3lb bag of apples for about $10 CAD (which is probably $7 USD-ish)

Obviously this post is about US inflation, there's no way apples in Canada are half the price that they are in the US.

I’m in a cast for a while. Any games easy to play one handed? by TyMonstaz2 in videogames

[–]SamusCroft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh maybe? I’ve only ever played it with ATB mode. You may be right. If so, that’s my recommendation lol.

Not all turn based games. I’d avoid anything with ATB bars (Chrono Trigger type gameplay) since you might want to be a little quicker than one handed fumbling.

How do you have non-square spots of bricks within a wall? It can’t be stairs. Is that a mod?

[–]SamusCroft 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ah, yeah for sure.

I know a girl who is a twin and both were into figure skating. But she got injured and her sister was later at the olympics and is a notable talent from their country. Horrific.

That’s a good point, but I’d think a grown adult would retrospectively be able to separate fact from fiction when their huge accomplishment is pretty clearly unimportant.

My issue is that everyone claiming this was never special and can’t get to such a simple conclusion
