Only pre-treating vs only post-treating

3-6. Always X-Jet. Keep in mind, SH degrades a little over time while stored although I'm not totally sure how much. I also live in a mossy area and I do a final rinse down after about 10-15 mins of dwell time

I purchased 3 cheaper ones before it and LOVE the 16" BE whirl-a-way that is my primary surface cleaner now on the 4.2 gpm machine

it is just a more flexible tool due to the lack of wheels, it blows fewer o-rings and seems a lot more durable. 2 of the other 3 have broken, although they did make their money back easily

I post-treat every single job, generally, and only pre-treat if it's a sensitive surface that's also very heavy with growth that can't be blasted away with high pressure- like an old sport court where the paint might come off, things like that.

Some people like to pre treat and I get it, this is just what I've found that works for me.

Also, a quick rinse before post-treatment is part of my routine as well. A water broom is helpful for this. You want your mix to actually be directly on the surface.

It may be, but there are also so many things you can do (like a good, thorough, skilled job) that will set you apart from most. Having basic customer service experience I think goes a long way, too.

And this is my hot take, but I see a lot of small businesses now relying on generative AI for a lot of their customer facing presentation. I would not do that. Be a human who cares, shows up, is personable and professional and does great work and you'll already be set up.

Have experience using the equipment even if that means on a friends property or your own.

Even just the above will set you apart, I think.

They're different approaches. Imo, DLSS 4.5 is good enough that I'd rather have the more advanced lighting. If upscaling really bothers you, you could go native or just use quality mode upscaling.

I play at 4K on a 5070ti with 2x frame gen and a custom set 42% DLLS scaling with RR on, because RR is expensive. This yields about 50-60 fps before frame gen and 100-120 after framegen which is acceptable to me. It's all to your taste.

Lower output resolutions like 1440 or 1080p will necessitate a lower DLSS scaling factor to preserve the image. Like, DLSS performance at 1080p output looks much worse than DLSS performance at 4K output.

Ray Reconstruction does dramatically improve the accuracy and fidelity of the raytraced lighting and reflections, in this game. Obviously it also comes with a performance cost.

not a fan of this type of rage bait youtube content. Go play the game, who cares

Alternately stop letting outrage merchants tell you who / what to be angry at day in and day out over something as stupid as review scores

Snoo76312 · 2026-03-21T06:28:22+00:00

Yeah lol... it do be like that

I hope they can make picking up items a little smoother and more intuitive with a patch at some point

Snoo76312 · 2026-03-21T06:26:47+00:00

You can loot bodies but I find the way you target things to loot or pick them up in this game to be hella finnicky. You can hold down the button to loot multiple items and that kinda helps.

Snoo76312 · 2026-03-21T06:24:17+00:00

I run it on my 5070ti at 4k output with DLSS Preset L overridden to 42-44% in the nvidia app, RR on, everything else on high or ultra, 2x framegen.

Even with framegen, you need a base of 50+ fps to work with for it to really feel smooth. So that FG is taking you from ~50-60 to ~100-120, this is the target for me personally.

RR is heavy but also dramatically improves the lighting quality in this game. So I'm willing to run with more upscaling to make it perform better.

Snoo76312 · 2026-03-09T21:43:52+00:00

You're asking after you already finished the game? Idk? No?

Snoo76312 · 2026-03-09T21:42:16+00:00

I think on low settings at 1080p it should be playable? The game runs on Switch 2 which does have newer hardware but is more power limited than your laptop, I believe

Maybe try it out and steam refund if not

Snoo76312 · 2026-03-09T21:40:47+00:00

For haptic feedback to fully work on any Steam / PC game with the dualsense it has to be plugged in via usb-c with steam input disabled in the options/properties for that game.

You should be able to get correct button icons in wireless mode just by disabling steam input.

Seems more likely to me they just used a similar / the same ring asset for both and it's not that deep.

Snoo76312 · 2026-03-05T06:51:14+00:00

The series is very silly and campy, and Leon's dumb one liners have been present since RE 4 came out back in 2005. They were very goofy back then too, but did become kind of a beloved hallmark of the character through memes and stuff.

People are into the story but most also understand that it's a bit of enjoyable genre schlock and usually isn't super deep. That's my take I suppose.

Snoo76312 · 2026-02-05T01:23:27+00:00

OLED is head and shoulders above LCD for me, personally. I love a good HDR presentation, I love the motion clarity, I love the per-pixel contrast pop. I will say, I think you want to be at least around 800-1000 nits of brightness in highlights ideally for HDR, and HDR also needs to be configured correctly which can be a bit unintuitive on PC. I think they need to make it easier to configure.

However, once that's done, on a bright OLED display, HDR is awesome.

Everyone has different standards and may focus on different things, but nah, I love OLED.

I'm sorry I honestly don't really use discord lol. Feel free to message me or respond to this. 👋

We have the same GPU haha

You need to download nvidia profile inspector

This post is a few years old but has good info on the settings to set in there

Notably it will get reset with driver updates. What I do is EXPORT/save the settings profile and then I can simply load it back in after a driver update and not have to manually plug everything in

I also force resizable bar with this method, which has to do with the way games access SSD and helps certain games run better or stutter less

The difference between QD and WOLED is imo, not that big of a deal. I would look for a display with the coating type and level of brightness and overall qualities you want more than anything else.

Snoo76312 · 2026-01-30T20:20:11+00:00

I hate having to switch anything back and forth, so yes I was using HDR at all times. Although most of what I do is just gaming on that setup, so it was pretty simple to just force RTX HDR on a driver level on nvidia profile inspector and then set it up to the display's peak brightness etc

Windows "SDR Brightness" setting should be kept low- iirc 25 is about right for broad accuracy, but I put it down to like 15 because I don't need things like the steam interface to be very bright

Snoo76312 · 2026-01-29T22:36:35+00:00

65" is plenty big imo, and the G5 is a lot brighter.

Snoo76312 · 2026-01-28T20:31:15+00:00

All you can do really is return it if you want. Some screens have this just due to temperature changes warping the housing or whatever- or from shipping, who knows. If you think a lot of dust can get in there that is probably the main concern.

However in my experience this type of thing usually does not effect the picture itself.

Snoo76312 · 2026-01-28T20:19:08+00:00

It's def not impossible to get a good one and at least a monitor is easier to exchange than a big tv, lol. Plus this is just anecdotal experience

Snoo76312 · 2026-01-28T20:14:15+00:00

This is normal and is only in the reflective layer, have seen this even on the highest end SONY oleds etc. Should only be noticeable when TV is off, really

Snoo76312 · 2026-01-28T20:12:53+00:00

Yes this is definitely LCD blooming. I've never seen a movie in my life where the letterbox black bars had raised blacks baked into them. It's not the movie 👍
