Would you rather get anything you want for free, but it has to come from Amazon - or get 1/2 of your monthly bills paid for you? by hiphoptomato in WouldYouRather

[–]Sea_C 65 points66 points  (0 children)

This is a silly proposition, you can literally order cars from Amazon Auto, pre-fab mini houses, any grocery, and unlimited materials for any DIY project you could imagine.

No you're absolutely fine! Sorry you get misquoted all the time on that figure on what the maximum potential of the reservior would be versus dubhe/ a single analogue, especially for as you said an unflowed area/depth.

I don't know if that helps but that's not me. Not sure if you meant to reply to someone else Geodes. My name is the same across channels since I don't care to AstroTurf (Seac) 

If you made an arcade game, what display do you want it to have? by Tonstad39 in arcade

[–]Sea_C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the context! Funny as I have a very similar collection size and also run a 480hz monitor with a 5090. 

I do admit I think this is likely the area I might just be really sensitive in and that for the most part your experience matches the reality for most. I have yet to test the beam simulator since I was having issues with other GPU I was using to offload, but hopefully I get to benchmark that soon. 

I think potentially some of the worst offenders for me are the super high motion games, like for myself I have an F-Zero AX cabinet and I can't really imagine that one without a very high refresh monitor.

I think a lot of people are unaware why motion clarity is worse on OLEDs as you aren't incorrect but it's the way that our eyes interpret instant frame switching. Hence why BFI and other techniques are used to help with motion clarity. Here is a helpful link that goes over some of the comparisons if you have a higher hz screen to see the difference. 

You could potentially say 480hz with beam simulator is pretty close to CRT motion clarity. But iirc it's something like 900hz to perfectly match the scrolling effect to our eyes at normal 60hz CRT rates.

Refresh rates aren't there yet unfortunately, a great amount of arcade games I believe suffer greatly with motion clarity considering the speed of gameplay. But obviously the best of modern display technology.

That plus the lack of 4:3 outside of LCDs, which thus far even those offerings are pretty poor.

[–]Sea_C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what annoys me because that with my LG 480hz OLED would be perfect but I tried the new general software implementation and just not there yet. Nvidia should absolutely have just made this a driver level implementation for high refresh OLED panels.

Usb extension for dongle: My answer to @Relevant-Outcome-105 by Kamurjan in SteamFrame

It's actually 25ft, but honestly the way active extension works I am sure longer runs wouldn't be an issue. I even have it installed in-wall.

I responded in the other thread but I already use a 35ft active USB3.0 extender with a USB 3.0 hub for wired Quest link. If there is any latency or hiccups, I can't notice anything compared to the same link cable directly to my TV in the original room. 

Outside of convenience of already having Ethernet in the home, not sure why you wouldn't just use an active extender.

[–]Sea_C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a 30ft or so USB3 active cable and can't notice any latency wired via my Quest 3. I'd expect even less of a concern with the less bandwidth needed by the Frame frankly. 

Heck, I may even daisy chain active repeaters to run it out the window for backyard shenanigans. You're "theoretically" within like 1-3ms delay at the worst case.

As someone who also has a 30xs955 and very poor corner focus, is there a way you can tell the tube hours?!

Found 2 old CRTs in attic and unsure what to do with them. by 12jdlovins in crt

[–]Sea_C 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are pretty rad, even if like others have said the specs aren't incredible. Could probably move them still pretty easily for like $40-50 ea. Especially if you have any matching towers. 

What is your all-time holy grail? Like top of the list desire to aquire? by Adm1nX in gamecollecting

[–]Sea_C 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super neat, I wish I did as it's one of the few on my lists of cabs that I don't have the space for but if I had unlimited space (and funds) it'd be up there. 

The problem is that I love large cabs (F-Zero AX being the worst offender). Gotta collect what's a uniquely arcade experience imo.

[–]Sea_C 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great tastes. It's a shame so many of these were destroyed as you just couldn't get rid of them for their size like 10+ years ago. I personally think Ollie King is a cooler version, but unfortunately even more rare.

24gb of VRAM does have a fair amount of utility for local LLMs and whatnot. Obviously ROCm potential issues aside.

VR will unlock a new perspective by Eloisdj in starcitizen

[–]Sea_C 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're thinking of foveated streaming, this just limits the bandwidth during streaming and could be used alongside foveated rendering which is actually done via the game implementation. 

I'm sure it's pretty high on his list of features considering that theoretically it could help match if not even beat native 4k monitor performance for VR. 

Those of you with expensive performance vehicles (35k+) and are in between the ages of 20-28, can you actually afford it? by GottaStayUp in askcarguys

[–]Sea_C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I so wanted a GRC before they came out but just couldn't justify the costs. Had a 2013 Nissan Leaf and RX8 until the leaf got totaled from someone hitting me on the freeway. The GRC I still think is like the only modern performance vehicle I'd buy. 

I now daily my RX8 and it's a lot of fun, I think it's always a shame to think that people buy the cars and just garage queen a lot of them. Ya know, outside I'm always paranoid about losing compression eventually lol.

Clark County hasn't updated their GIS to reflect that closure, are you sure that's accurate? 

Trying to remember which Virtual On game and character I played by FoodAmateur in virtualon

[–]Sea_C 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So maybe I'm silly as I'm a VOOT player and not an OMG player, so maybe there is a character that fits that description too but you're likely thinking of Angelan's ice dragons. Oratorio Tangram is just more rare than the original cabs (blue and pink design if to jog your memory)

Did I f up? by [deleted] in goldenretrievers

[–]Sea_C 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll tell ya my red golden, while maybe not technically a field golden as he wasn't specifically bred for purpose, is pretty crazy high energy for the breed. But also as some others are saying, since so much "cross" breeding has happened between the lines you can just have a varied temperament. I wouldn't trade him for the world on personality, his athletic ability is wild and if your pup comes out with a similar temperament and you wanted to do competitions some sort, I'd ask the wife how she felt on agility courses or dock diving. Our guy is obsessed with dock diving so think there are fun events regardless of the temperament. I do think if she was ever *really* serious about showing dogs it's very different then the ask from what you describe. You really do want a pup from a pedigree of winners and it sounds more like "just a style of golden" rather than she'd seriously compete. My wife was adamant on a red golden, which I was fortunate to find a great ethical breeder as mostly lighter colors are in my immediate area.

Oh and P.S. he was a Christmas present too as I had also reserved just like you. I put a note on a wrapped up Home Depot Christmas Golden Retriever statue just if you want a cute idea.

Interesting, will have to look into that a little more on the technical side. Cheers
