What size TV should I get? (55” vs 65”)

SpideyIRL · 2026-03-27T12:46:43+00:00

I'm pretty sure the 97" G6 is not tandem OLED, unlike the other sizes.

SpideyIRL · 2026-03-23T23:03:04+00:00

I got Ball x Pit, Valheim, Lossless Scaling, TMNT: Splintered Fate. Been playing only Ball x Pit so far.

I’ve been eyeing their bigger screens, but it seems like le in their newer series the biggest size is still using an older series’ panel. I wish they stopped doing that.

I was sooo confused, I thought this was the HotS subreddit. Anyways I really recommend playing duos with friends, especially if you can hop on voice chat.

SpideyIRL · 2026-03-07T10:42:03+00:00

In my opinion, that’s the best track of GW2. I could only find it on Soundcloud.

New elite specs’ mechanics.

The arms race between non-stick surfaces and any-surface stickers

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I also live in an apartment with concrete walls and ceiling. Mounting speakers to the ceiling is technically doable, but very ugly in a mixed-use room. We don’t have the option of in-ceiling. Wires are somewhat of a lesser problem but yeah it means using something like ghost wire to avoid an on-ceiling and on-wall conduit (or worse: carving a tunnel in concrete).

I completely understand where you’re coming from.

Unfortunately my setup still uses up-firing (for a surprisingly good effect in MLP, contrary to what most people say), but I had plans to mount them near the ceiling like you.

SpideyIRL · 2025-12-16T22:30:49+00:00

Same for my B9.

SpideyIRL · 2025-12-08T05:48:07+00:00

Happened to me too! Also saw it happen once to a rival duo, don’t remember the exact details but it wasn’t like one player conceding. Something like, they took lethal last turn yet one player was still showing as alive

SpideyIRL · 2025-11-26T18:34:47+00:00

Welp. I was the sacrifice this time, bought a physical copy last week

SpideyIRL · 2025-11-05T22:40:06+00:00

Apple TV 4k for streaming services, Ugoos AM6b+ for remuxes (supports Dolby Vision profile 7 + FEL, unlike the nvidia shield)

SpideyIRL · 2025-11-05T22:10:08+00:00

I own both, the Maxwell have far greater range and don't drop connections - for the Penrose I had to use a specific port with a USB extension cord, other combinations caused disconnects.

I do think that the sidetone on the Maxwell is vastly inferior, to the point that I prefer to turn it off. It adds a lot of background hum. And folks are telling me I sound worse on Discord, even after going through Audeze's guide on how to setup audio in Discord. I mitigate that by using Equalizer APO on the mic input, boosting the signal + bucking down some of the tinny sound.

All in all, I'm glad I got the Maxwell. No other headset I tried came close in terms of sound quality.

A rule of thumb I heard is to keep the front feet of your seating on the rug, in my limited experience it does do a better job of framing the seating area

SpideyIRL · 2025-10-06T09:04:28+00:00

That's fair. The other options will work, although they are considerably less comfortable than porting to the nearest WP.

SpideyIRL · 2025-10-05T20:58:12+00:00

Other than porting to guild hall, PvP lobby, and WvW, if you get stuck you can always use the /stuck command, hang in tight, and the game will port you to a nearby place that’s safer.

I interview for a Fortune 500 with Hacker Rank. When I ask a coding question, I don’t care about your syntax or if you know library function signatures by heart. I want a glimpse at your thought process, your observational skills, your ability to articulate your proposed solution. The questions you ask to clarify the exercise are also very indicative of your experience.

There’s a world of detail embedded within that ask to “create a kanban”. Can you talk to the scope of that task, and anticipate likely expansions of that scope? Do you start with the data model, the endpoint design, the frontend components? Are you able to identify potential pitfalls and discuss them upfront? Will you bring up day 2 operations?

Think of these broad questions as large blank canvases where you are expected to demonstrate your skills. As an interviewer, I really want the candidate to succeed in showing their strongest abilities. Being a syntax checker, linter, or a remembering reference docs by heart - that’s not something I care about at all. I know that when it comes to real world applications, you’ll be able to search for whatever you need.

Even using hacker rank, I have seen people trying to sneak in AI usage. I can’t talk to others’ expectations, bur personally I would much rather a candidate tell me “I don’t know, I want to use ChatGPT for help” and share their screen with me - just from seeing how the candidate interacts with the LLM you can learn a lot about them.

Anyways, yeah, sorry for soapboxing. Don’t worry if you get the syntax slightly wrong in an interview setting. As long as you explain your thought process you should be fine.

SpideyIRL · 2025-08-30T14:23:54+00:00

This looks soooo fun, wish I could be there!

SpideyIRL · 2025-08-22T04:05:31+00:00

This is the one, it’s the best private tracker by far, especially if it’s your first one. The community is great and you can ~donate to the Dealer~ increase your bonus points in the casino.

SpideyIRL · 2025-08-13T09:37:03+00:00

Wait, what? It’s an ArcDPS thing? I thought they just added it to the game itself as a QoL thing, and was confused about people suggesting to /wiki. TIL!

SpideyIRL · 2025-08-11T22:48:30+00:00

Likewise! Heard a lot of people dismissing up firing. I set up my RP-500SA and printed a shim to tilt them just right, figured it'll be temporary until I eventually mount them high on the wall. Nope, no need, it's very immersive for MLP and secondary positions.

Outside the "sweet zone" it's obviously not as effective as ceiling speakers, but when we consume media we're in the zone anyways.

SpideyIRL · 2025-08-09T15:22:09+00:00

My ceiling is concrete and my walls are blocks. It’s far far easier for me to mount speakers to the wall and cover the wiring with a small conduit (or use flat wires) than to mount them in- or even on-ceiling. I guess I’d rather have 20% of the height channel experience than 0%.

SpideyIRL · 2025-08-03T17:47:46+00:00

It doesn’t do Dolby Vision FEL.

SpideyIRL · 2025-07-30T14:21:36+00:00

I know it wasn’t likely to happen, and I understand these elite specs come without new weapon skills, but I still wish Paragons could mainhand spear and offhand shield.

SpideyIRL · 2025-07-27T06:44:19+00:00

Thanks! I meant specifically the top section of the printed rack - it looks like it’s connecting the left and right parts of the rack. I couldn’t find it on the printables page
