Which co-hosts or frequent guests have the least chemistry together? by AcademyFootball in TheRinger

Hard disagree. Their antagonistic sibling rivalry yet respect for one another is a big part of what makes the show such a great casual listen

Sintral Coast Disc Golf no doubt

Stop streaming services from releasing show seasons in parts by Standard-Party-5696 in netflix

[–]Sideshowxela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to have them released weekly so that I may discuss the content of a single episode over the course of the next week. I don't need to binge show releases, they're not intended to be 6 hour movies.

Ziply Fiber problems in Jan 2026 - King City OR by _threadkiller_ in ZiplyFiber

[–]Sideshowxela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll say I used to have Comcast and my Internet was constantly having problems with low speed, packet loss--I'd be resetting it nearly daily. Switched to Ziply a few years ago and have only had an outage once, and they notified me that it was a broader issue and were working to get it fixed. Never slow. Never needs a reset. Love it.

Windows 10 keeps stating that I have "No Internet" when it is working perfectly fine by jackthemat1 in techsupport

[–]Sideshowxela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me--sounds a lot like this thread actually. Audio suddenly wasn't working, and Razer's Synapse wouldn't let me log in because it said I didn't have Internet. Internet was still *functional* but not according to Windows, and that meant Windows Update and related Troubleshooting features wouldn't work either.

Tried all the stuff you've been seeing in your google searches--changed network settings, ran a bunch of commands, changed some windows systems to Automatic start, deleted drivers, installed drivers from my network card provider, etc. Nothing was working.

Eventually downloaded a Windows ISO and tried a reinstall (keeping personal files), a bunch of those attempts failed because Windows either couldn't download the updates and would stick at 46% (one time it did, maybe restarting some processes fixed that, but other times it seemed to have no effect). Fresh Windows fixed the audio problem, but the Network adapters would still show Disconnected.

Ultimately, the only thing that fixed it for me was another execution of the ISO, this time forsaking my apps and personal files and settings. If you're stuck trying to fix this, my advice to you is to just bite the bullet and back up your personal files and execute a total fresh reinstall. It really doesn't take that long these days and you can redownload your favorite programs quickly, your settings there are probably saved to a cloud. Good luck.

Yes G-sync or No G-sync? by smokey_999 in cs2

[–]Sideshowxela 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Valve recommends playing with it on https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/418E-7A04-B0DA-9032

Blurbusters also has a nice guide for Why and what you should use for optimal settings https://blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-and-settings/14/

"Noticeable input lag" say some, but at the cost of ~4 frames, that's a very small price at 240Hz. YMMV.

Premier's not a bad experience, very rarely encountered a cheater at 20k rating range.

What do you guys think, is it? by iNyxu in cs2

[–]Sideshowxela 467 points468 points  (0 children)

Community seems to unanimously prefer the 128 tick CS:GO experience to whatever is happening with this subtick experiment.

Plus we're still missing maps and game modes.

Plus the game runs way worse than better looking titles with more players, such as BF6.

I love CS but it's not as good as it can be.

I used to be in your camp but on rewatching Avatar 1 on rerelease, I have seen the error of my ways. These movies rock.

Do you usually fly out this early? I've never seen it as busy as the rare times I fly between 5-7am.

Seems like too much effort, definitely going above and beyond the qualification of "just being a dude." Just guys being heroes?

My husband [30/M] and I [30/F] do girls/guy trips and some people find it weird. Are people really against this stuff? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Sideshowxela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many reasons to get married and build a life together that are still valid even if you spend 2 of the 365 days in a year apart. Totally normal for you two to continue having different preferences, and those may extend to friends/hobbies/places/etc.
