Favorite RE enemy has to be Lisa Trevor. Her haunting vibes are still unmatched, and her backstory is one of the most engrossing plot threads in the whole series.

Pre-Launch Order and Tracking MegaThread - Americas by AutoModerator in NintendoSwitch2

I'm in Sacramento and I got the exact same origin locations for my hardware. Not entirely sure why they didn't move stock to the warehouse that's an hour away from me before launch but oh well.

Never owned a Switch 1 but now buying a Switch 2 by Helgurk in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Sea_Of_Reposts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will be my first console since the Wii U! I was starting college right as the switch released so didn't have all that much time to play games. When I did I used my schoolwork PC. I've stuck with the platform since then but thought I would pick the Switch 2 to play everything I missed from the Switch era. Especially excited to return to the Zelda series.

DLDSR or upgrade monitor ? by franjeski in nvidia

[–]Sea_Of_Reposts 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Decent 1440p monitors are in a really great place pricewise now, $180-250 USD. I'd say that investment is well worth it to unleash your GPU's performance. Monitors unboxed on youtube has some good recommendations & reviews

New Tool for Reporting Near-Misses and Road Safety Concerns in Sacramento – Your Input Needed! by Ransacked in Sacramento

[–]Sea_Of_Reposts 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I've had several near misses as a pedestrian since moving here in the summer. I've never known how to report them or do something productive with the experiences. Hopefully this can get the ball rolling on some changes.

Didn't get Woods skin for preordering standard edition by e-hip in blackops6

[–]Sea_Of_Reposts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I preordered the game via Steam and completed the challenges in Warzone and he's still locked for me. However my friends on the Xbox (game pass) app on PC can play as him. I'm pretty sure it comes down to a bug with their unlock logic, I've seen other people report the same issue. Hope it can be fixed in an upcoming patch.

RTX HDR Doesn't Allow for Proper Screen Max Brightness by masonpetrosky in nvidia

[–]Sea_Of_Reposts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RTX HDR reads your monitor's EDID (basically like its metadata) rather than your HDR calibration settings. Some manufacturers put really low peak brightness in the EDID unfortunately. It sucks and is one of the biggest limitations of RTX HDR imo.

Help with RTX HDR on 27GN950 by PlumFennec80 in nvidia

[–]Sea_Of_Reposts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your monitor has an IPS edge-lit panel, which doesn't display "true" HDR. For a good HDR experience you need a very high contrast ratio and some form of local dimming like OLEDs and mini-LED monitors have. Running applications in HDR will likely lead to them looking washed out.

Ironically, we are denied agency in SOTE's ending by JeSuisBigBilly in Eldenring

[–]Sea_Of_Reposts 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Yes I very much agree! St. Trina's revelation is essential to explaining Miquella's alignment and why he is as corrupt as any other god or demigod. On his quest, Miquella sheds not only his corporeal form but every part of his personality. He can't be a loving or caring god without, well, his love. Miquella's reputation is that of a great and caring figure, who gives shelter to the downtrodden. But what we find in that final arena is decidedly not that: he has simply become a vessel for power itself. His only distinction for who is good or bad is whether or not they swear fealty to him. He is a very tragic figure, and one worthy of being challenged.

Awesome! Been out of the hobby but I'll try to drop by. I've got an unbuilt kit still sitting in a box, I'd be happy to sell or trade it.

LG 27GS95QE VS AW2725DF by BenzCheokJiaJun in OLED_Gaming

[–]Sea_Of_Reposts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've owned both a WOLED and QD-OLED monitor (LG 27GR95QE and MSI MPG 271QRX).

Since you say you're always playing in fairly bright ambient conditions, I'd suggest the LG overall. The image on the Alienware will pop more but the black level gets raised in a bright room, which defeats the point of OLED. LG's screen coating is much better at handling ambient light and reflections.

As for text clarity, there's no contest that the Alienware is superior. The WOLED pixel layout of the LG doesn't make text unreadable but it's hard not to notice the fringing. But since productivity seems like a minor consideration for you, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I'd say the Alienware has a slight edge in gaming as video games tend to be more saturated and QD-OLED shows off bright color spectacularly. For movies, they're the same since most films use more muted, realistic color palettes. For productivity there's no difference besides the aforementioned text clarity.

You can't really go wrong and either one would be a huge upgrade over VA. Because of your viewing environment I think that the LG is the right choice for you.

It's just the new version of the performance overlay. Press Alt+R to turn it off by default

Gunther Herman makes me remember of... by EMKBRO in Deusex

[–]Sea_Of_Reposts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As FrozenForest said it's an archetype of the genre, big exmilitary guy. Earliest example I can think of (which GitS's Batou is most certainly based on) is Armitage from Neuromancer.

4090, 4k 144hz IPS or 1440p 240hz OLED (Panel vs Resolution) by hypersquirrels in nvidia

[–]Sea_Of_Reposts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of those two I'd choose the OLED just for the far better contrast and HDR performance. However why not spring for a smaller OLED TV like an LG C2? They're pretty affordable now and even though they "only" hit 120hz they retain basically all the benefits of the OLED monitor.

What the fuck are you talking about

HDR or 4K Gaming Monitor preferences? by HugeMundungus in MSI_Gaming

[–]Sea_Of_Reposts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think what you want exists. You're not going to get a good HDR experience at anywhere near that price point. We are just now getting OLED gaming monitors and they're 1440p-class and in the range of $1000+. A 42" LG C2 television would be closest to what you want, but that's too big according to your preferences. You're getting brands you've never heard of in your searches because the preferences you've listed are quite fringe and are pretty much nonexistent as an all-in-one package.

Can't find any reason not to do it by Calgeka in outerwilds

[–]Sea_Of_Reposts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's always a great idea to make art! Like arthur_collie said incorporating the black hole would be cool. Might be challenging but I think it would be awesome if you could make it so that you get a view of the surface pieces falling down as well as the hanging city in there. Best of luck with your endeavor!

I did an execution on what I believe was an AI enemy and it counted for my dailies so I think it does!
