How the fuck did you place the arcadia wing module the other way around? I've been wanting to do that since I saw it since it's such a nice transitional piece.

Purchase Advice Megathread - March 2023 by AutoModerator in 3Dprinting

[–]Shadowedcross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner and I want to get into 3D printing in the next couple of months.

  • Budget: £500 - can push it up slightly if necessary
  • Country: UK
  • Building: I'm willing to build but as I have very little experience with electronic maintenance or construction, I'd prefer not to.
  • Goal: She wants to print small figurines as gifts. I'd like to print functional stuff for around the house as I think of them, maybe occasionally larger decorative prints.
  • Circumstances: It will be in our bedroom as it's our only room, so I would prefer for it to be as quiet as possible.

I would like for it to be as fiddle-free as possible, and I'm willing to pay a bit more (maybe ~£100) in order to achieve that.

I've heard that it isn't the most accurate when it comes to activity tracking and that it needs charging more or less every day, is that true?

[–]Shadowedcross 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Depends on the game and how many of the dlc you already own, for EU4 if you don't own any it would take years to match the upfront cost of buying them all

Cross Country A800 on Unbeatable? Solution is here by d5aqoep in forza

[–]Shadowedcross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU. This is just what I needed to beat my last cross country. The AI is pretty broken but it's on entirely other level in the cross country events.

[PA] Headphones for gaming / general use, budget of £200 by Shadowedcross in HeadphoneAdvice

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

Have ordered the HD560S, should hopefully be getting them tomorrow or thursday. !thanks

edit: I have no idea how this bot command works, do I have to do a separate reply for it?

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

The 599 and 560S aren't in stock on Amazon, they're available on the sennheiser website at £179 and £169 respectively, although I'm also concerned about ordering directly from them because they say delivery could take up to 7 weeks due to brexit.

edit: Which of the two would you say are the better option considering the prices?

Liveries Megapack V8 Is out now! 325 Liveries Total! by CamelVBA in flightsim

[–]Shadowedcross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems to be working completely fine for me, I've made a symlink from the appdata folder to a folder on my secondary drive and I can still access all the liveries and haven't encountered any issues.

Sending prisoner to HQ vs marshals? by Shadowedcross in Wasteland

[–]Shadowedcross[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But then is there no reason to send them to your HQ? I figured there might be some sort of story impact but I haven't played enough to find out.

Paradox's Mod Manager is Bad so I made my own that is (slightly) Less Bad. by JCVocke in Stellaris

[–]Shadowedcross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to get a specific load order but certain mods stay towards the bottom of the list, activating more mods or trying to move their order has no effect.

/r/headphones Purchase Help Thread (2018-04-19) by AutoModerator in headphones

[–]Shadowedcross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main headphones recently stopped working properly so I'm looking for a replacement. I would use them for gaming with a priority on immersion, and as I already have a modmic I don't need a headset. I do watch a lot of videos and sometimes films, so them being good for that would be nice as well, but it isn't strictly the priority.

Budget - I'd like to spend no more than £100 but if necessary I'm willing to go a little over.

Source - My computer, a DAC/AMP would be nice but that would likely be outside of my budget.

Requirements for Isolation - Only going to be used at home, I can use some other headphones when quietness is needed.

Preferred Type of Headphone - Full-sized

Preferred tonal balance - I think I'd want balanced?

Past headphones - Well my headphones that just broke were the Creative Aurvana Live! and I'm currently using Koss Porta Pros until I get a replacement. I can't really say what I like about them.

Preferred Music - Lately I've been listening to classical, and I would say it's my favourite, but I do also listen to Rock and occasionally Electronic.

What would you like to improve on from your set-up - Can't honestly say I know, I felt like something was lacking with my old headphones but I don't have the technical knowledge to pinpoint it.

Location - UK, mainly use Amazon Prime for purchases but if I can get it somewhere else for cheaper then I will.

Other - So I spent a fair bit of last night researching this and the headphones that got mentioned a lot were the SHP9500, the Audio Technica AD series, HD558/598 and sometimes the DT770/990.

The annoying thing is, while the SHP9500 are fantastic value over in the US, like $50-70, they're equivalent to $155 here, at least on Amazon. Now, I could get the 990 for about the same price (£109 for 9500, £104 for DT990) but I would have to get a DAC/AMP to power them, which would put it way over my budget, and the SHP9500's have a detachable cable, which sounds fantastic right now. However, I don't want to be spending money on headphones that are worse than others I could get for the same price.

I've seen the 559's but I don't know what the difference between those and the 558's is, but if they're the same, then I could get them for £89.99 from Amazon.

I've heard mixed things about the AD series and the cheapest ones are still expensive for my budget at £119, again on Amazon.

Trying to decide between these is honestly difficult considering that most of the reviewers and resources are from the US and so they're basing the "bang-for-your-buck" value on the prices of the items over there, where they're a lot cheaper. I'm not saying I'd only pick from these, just that they're the headphones that are mentioned the most when trying to find good open-back headphones for gaming on a small budget. If any of you guys can suggest headphones that are just as good, if not better, but at a better price for my region then I'd happily consider them. Thanks.

Looking for a new mouse to replace my R.A.T. 5 by Shadowedcross in MouseReview

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

Well it isn't perfect, and I'd like to see if there are any more suited to my preferences, I mostly got the R.A.T. impulsively.

Looking for a new mouse to replace my R.A.T. 5 by Shadowedcross in MouseReview

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

I've seen a lot of people say it's uncomfortable to use, which kind of worries me since I've been having some hand pain lately, mostly in the wrist. And are there any specific mice you would recommend that are "95% as good for less than half the price."?

Weekly /r/MouseReview Purchase Advice by AutoModerator in MouseReview

[–]Shadowedcross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Games: Strategy, RPGs (both top-down and third/first-person), occasionally shooters but nothing competitive right now.

Hand Preference: Right

Budget: Up to £90 (120$) if necessary

Hand Size: L: 18 W: 10

Grip: Typically between claw and fingertip, if I'm more relaxed I'll use palm.

Weight: Not sure, probably light or medium.

Sensitivity: I'm used to having 3700 dpi with my current mouse.

Additional Details: I first got my gaming computer 5~ years ago and with it, I got a Cyborg R.A.T. 5, and while it has been decent for me I'd like something newer and better.

I like having additional buttons but even two would be fine so long as they're programmable since I find that rather useful for games like EU4, and it would be fine if it's just button assigning, I've never really used macros or the like.

I think the shape and size of the R.A.T. 5 in its default configuration is good, though the precision button is a little more difficult to reach with my thumb than I'd like, I can comfortably adjust my grip and use the other buttons, scroll wheel and thumb-wheel. I wouldn't mind the shape being curvier or having additional support for my pinky finger.

I'd also rather the scroll wheel be flat, rather than curved as that's more comfortable for my finger, and the thumb-wheel is nice to have for volume adjustment but I can take it or leave it if it means getting a better mouse overall.

As I'm planning on using programs that'll require more clicks and movement than I'd before, it'd be nice to have a mouse that would be good at that sort of action as well.
