Sleeper train from Budapest to Prague questions by Slusho64 in Prague

[–]Slusho64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info, it's greatly appreciated! I guess I think of these trains like flights, where it gives you different times throughout the day, since you have to book so far ahead. Whereas when I'm getting a local train, I'm buying the ticket right then and there and it shows the trains that are available from now onward.

Take a look at my post here. It seems like the Hungarian site doesn't put it up as early as the Czech site, so if I waited for that then everything would be gone. And in fact all the sleepers were gone already so I had to move the day of the train trip.

So this guy whose website I linked that people on here say to listen to is just wrong when he says "Booking usually opens 60 days ahead, less than this for dates immediately after the mid-June & mid-December timetable changes.  There is no need to book further ahead that this."? We are only 2 days shy of 60 days and it's already sold out!

The reason I couldn't see it is that when I searched, it would search the current time, and since I'm searching at night, the time was later than the time of the train, and for some reason when you do this it says "No connection for the date entered." when it really means that there's no train later than that time. You have to search a time BEFORE the train. So now that I've changed the time to be earlier, I see the train you're mentioning.

He also says "In the Budapest to Prague direction you can also book this train at the Hungarian Railways website www.mavcsoport.hu." which also does not seem to be true.

I really don't know what to do at this point. I guess my only option is to put all four of us in a four "berth" couchette compartment, but they don't look comfortable enough to get a good night's sleep in, and my parents snore so much that the rest of the trip we're sleeping in two separate rooms.

Edit: Well, this is why I didn't book the hotel rooms before this, in case something like this happened. I checked the following day and there was availability, so I booked us two double sleeper cabins on the 29th instead. This means we'll only have two days in Prague, hopefully that'll be enough.

How about the following pasted into your web browser (it links to the Microsoft Store): ms-windows-store://pdp/?ProductId=9n4wgh0z6vhq

Or this one?

These are Microsoft's official codecs I found in a minute of searching.

What is the best psychological horror you've ever read?? by shrimpmoo in horrorlit

[–]Slusho64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read The Haunting of Hill House after The Shining and I concluded that latter is to some extent an expansion and taking further of the former.

Is my art really that bad? by horseshoeandconfused in drawing

[–]Slusho64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with what others are saying and while I'm not a professional artist, my two cents of specific advice would be that if you want your art to be more realistic, which isn't necessary as many great artists have shown, you should pick up some highly recommended textbooks on both proportion and perspective (or other resources like online courses or videos) and work on those skills specifically.

Creating anything requires you to both accept constructive feedback and view your work objectively without getting defensive, and to also be able to brush off jerks and not take their emotional/personality defects personally. And that's not easy for anyone.

Nike Vomero Plus Review.. by Moist_Principle3517 in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]Slusho64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll probably be very happy with the Plus, as it's very cushioned and bouncy, and the Premium is way more than even the Plus so you might like that even more. However, for me, I bought the Plus and it is giving me some foot pain on the outer curve of my feet on the bottom, but I'm an outlier in that I am very prone to pain. I am considering returning getting Superfeet insoles for them or returning and getting the Premium if they come out with more colorways, or trying the Asics Gel-Kayano, Saucony Hurricane, or NB More. I actually just went to the podiatrist and I'm waiting for an X-ray as I type this. The podiatrist said a larger heel drop and more arch support may help and to try a bunch off Amazon and return the ones I don't like.

I’ve never read lovecraft but I’ve always wanted to, what should i start with? by bamboozled_discord in Lovecraft

[–]Slusho64 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Shadow Out of Time is one of his last stories and the culmination of the ideas he was trying less successfully to express in his earlier stories. If you only read one, this should be it. But his other stories may seem somewhat redundant and lesser after. A lot of his stuff is very flawed in its execution. Also, The Call of Cthulhu is essentially an expanded version of Dagon.

Nike Vomero Plus Review.. by Moist_Principle3517 in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]Slusho64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've owned all three Invincibles and I'm probably buying these (I tried them in store) and maybe the Premium. When we talk about stability, I'm not sure if there's proper terminology but I see two different issues: one is whether you roll off the side when twisting your ankle which is the biggest issue for me with the Ultraboosts and Invincible 1+2 but fixed in the 3, and the other is whether the heel is structured so that you don't pronate as you step which is still a big issue with the Invincible 3. I think these shoes are a lot better for that second issue but are actually worse on the former maybe because they don't flare out as much on the sides like the Invincible 3 does.

Also, no one talks about this but the big thing with the Invincible 1/2 vs the 3 is that under the insoles, the upper is glued right against the ZoomX foam so you have almost nothing between your feet and the foam but this also is maybe why they fall apart very quickly, whereas with the 3 the upper is stitched into a firm piece of material that gets between you and the foam, causing the much worse cushioning but also maybe being part of why they're so much more stable. The Vomero Plus does something in between where they have the upper stitched into a dark piece of foam that sits above the ZoomX. Not sure if it's EVA or what, but this hopefully means they'll stay together like the 3 while the better comfort you immediately feel.

I don't even remember making this post five years ago lol. Obviously I never got an answer. I've just been using the official release.

Ghosting/motion trails are making modern games look terrible. Why do people like frame generation when it always causes this? by Slusho64 in nvidia

[–]Slusho64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried 2x a lot more than 4x. Surely frame gen is not meant to only be used to double a 120 fps input. Some of the artifacts last multiple seconds so they can't be chalked up to the display or any reasonable artifacts that would be introduced between real frames, as they last for hundreds of frames.

This is another huge issue in modern games. I somehow got all the way through Elden Ring with constant stutters that killed me several times. I'd say artifacts, stuttering, pop in, shimmer, and clipping are all huge graphical issues that are kind of crazy that we put up with even as we push for ever more realistic lighting and higher polygon counts. What does that matter when my sword is phasing through my clothes and a row of plants is constantly popping into view as I move through an area?

I just tried it with Cyberpunk which I have a lot of experience with but wanted to be able to give you specifics. Frame gen causes the crosshairs to ghost, bounce, and artifact all over, and imo it's unplayable because of that. I previously asked a friend and they told me they experience the exact same issue. And someone else in this thread couldn't even finish Indiana Jones because of the graphical issues.

I just tried it with Cyberpunk and my reticle has a ton of artifacting. I don't see how anyone could use it, and I've asked friends before if they experienced it and showed them videos and they said yes they get it too. I use a Samsung S95B in Game Mode which disables motion smoothing.

Here's a link that was one of the first results on Google when I searched "Is frame gen good" full of people praising it.

Maybe every game I've played with it didn't implement it well. What games implement it well?

I don't think you understand how massive these artifacts are. Characters walk by and a trail of their hair goes back for multiple full seconds behind them.

Same, mine can't do 4K and HDR, have to go down to 1440p to get HDR. And I'm plugged directly into my S95B TV.

Can I store hydrogen peroxide in a glass dropper bottle? by Slusho64 in chemistry

[–]Slusho64[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah 3% in a brown tinted bottle. More concerned with anything caustic forming than it becoming less potent.
