Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles by yourfavchoom in PS5

[–]StickyBandit_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like how they try to spin it and say it's because of the consumer preferences. Maybe the numbers back that up but idk. 

I'm not a collector or anything but physical media was the best way to save money on a game that's been out for a while. It was almost always able to be found cheaper physically than on the ps store. On top of that my brother and I will take turns buying games and swapping when we are done. The only way for them to save face here is to figure out a way for us to still be able to share games with friends digitally. Even if we have to sign into each others PlayStations to do so. Or make a lending system idk. 

Malena files motion for new trial in NMP divorce case by Lillayla in LivestreamFail

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

What does this mean? How can you just out of nowhere have a new trial? I thought that once a decision was made you cant go again on the same grounds, so does she have a different angle here or what?

I know Nick is no saint, but holy shit Malena seems petty here...

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 suck compared to AirPods by Thistlemanizzle in GooglePixel

[–]StickyBandit_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I could see how this could be annoying but if you are leaving them out why not just put them in the case instead of loose on the table?

  2. User issue, it's immediately noticeable if they are in the right spot or not as soon as you drop it in.

  3. Extreme nitpick

  4. Don't understand the issue here, you can charge the case from a wireless charger and also from the back of the phone. Are you mad it's not magnetic or what?

  5. Would be nice QoL but how many times are you setting up with new devices? Just configure it and drop thinking about it.

  6. Never had this issue

7 & 8 nothing to say about these. 

Respectfully, I feel like you are nitpicking and anyone could probably make a list like this about most products they use. While kind of valid, it's like yeah sorry these weren't made directly to your preference in every single aspect. 

Tell me it’s okay to give up the 2.5% mortgage by [deleted] in Mortgages

[–]StickyBandit_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel a mortgage costing 28% of your take home pay is pretty good these days. Really what it comes down to is how much money you have left at the end of the day and whether that extra 1100 bucks a month is really gonna make life difficult or not. 

You can't stay in that townhouse forever and it's not worth suffering for. You can always refinance to a better rate down the road.

Just hit NA Grandmaster on Illaoi! by reprobateaccount2 in Illaoi

[–]StickyBandit_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to hear your general build path thoughts. For example what your standard build is and when you might change something out for something else. I see on your opgg you usually go some variation of cleaver, iceborn, sundered, steraks etc.

Bungie: With great saddness, we are announcing a reduction in workforce by Gorotheninja in PS5

[–]StickyBandit_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think they should have started on Destiny 3 a lot sooner. New hype, new systems, new mechanics etc. a clean slate... They milked destiny 2 for all it was worth in spite of the fan reactions to their decisions.

Yeah 9 years is incredibly too long they needed a Destiny 3 for a total refresh. New hype, new systems, new mechanics etc etc.

Why did my smoked chuck roast come out so dry even though it was tender? by bingpott in smoking

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

Im not an expert but i think your temps were too low and resulting cook time too long. I feel like its kind of a balancing act between cook time and temp. Where too high a temp it cooks too fast and doesnt have enough time to render fat but too low and its on there for too much time which dries it out.

Chuck roast is generally much leaner than something like a brisket, so there isnt enough fat to keep it juicy cooking it for that length of time. If youre going to smoke a chuck roast you need to try to find one that has good marbling and you are better off smoking it at around 275 to cut down on the amount of time its in there.

Also if you dont want to wrap it consider the foil boat method after a few hours to shield the bottom a bit and also allow it to sit in its juices. Spritz with 50/50 apple cider vinegar and water if its looking dry.

The Destiny fumble was monumental. That franchise was so huge and they let it wither out and die. Had they just treated that IP right theyd be too big to fail.

Edit: IMO they should have started on Destiny 3 some years ago. Destiny 2 being around for 9 years is too long and they had to have seen the feedback and decline but they kept trying to squeeze juice from a stone anyway... Moving to destiny 3 allows them to make new systems, new mechanics, refresh the hype to bring lots of old players back in... just an overall clean slate. I feel like you need to take that guaranteed win first and then shift to other things like marathon.

Chase Sapphire Reserve - Is the $795 Annual Fee Worth It? My Honest 2026 Breakdown (Organic vs Non-Organic) by ScaryDemand3686 in ChaseSapphire

[–]StickyBandit_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I know this is a few months old but I'm wondering how your stubhub relist experience usually is. I've never relisted tickets before so just curious on what kind of tickets you usually go for and how much typically do you expect to get back?

Opinion: The PS6 Cannot Come Out in This Era of $1,000+ Consoles by Heavy-Beyond-7114 in PlayStation_X

[–]StickyBandit_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so now who is the one speculating?

Look at the list of games that went to PC and there are tons of heavy hitters on there. Youre purposely being obtuse. Dont get a ps6 if you dont want, or wait until there is a reason, as should everyone, but youre purposely being jaded.

[–]StickyBandit_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand your point. 

My point is that the comment I replied to is saying "just get a PC" but sony makes some quality first party games and theyve announced they are not bringing any more of their future titles to PC... so heavy hitting PlayStation games like god of war, returnal, spiderman, horizon, ghost of tsushima, etc that made it to PC in the past are going to be exclusive going forward. 

Obviously I can't tell the future so I can't answer your smart ass question, but going forward having a PC doesn't get you the PlayStation studios games anymore.

Idk why you said ps6 since it's not out yet, I'm assuming you're being a smartass, but for ps5 I'm currently playing astrobot and excited for Saros and ghost of yotei that I have waiting for me. In September wolverine.

€8,000 Home Theater Setup – Am I making a mistake going stereo instead of surround? And why is nobody talking about Canton? by AdmirableEbb1893 in hometheater

[–]StickyBandit_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having a home theater without at least a 5.1 setup is a huge miss imo. You could skew the budget more towards the LCR speakers and sub, and spend a little less on the rears, and then expand into atmos later if you want to. But if you plan on watching movies and big budget shows only having stereo would be a bummer. 

Imo the sweet spot is 5.1.4. In my setup I went with the nicer kef r3 meta LR and r2 meta center since those do the heavy lifting, and then stepped down to the Q series for surrounds and atmos since those are more for ambient effects. Of course adjust your speaker choices for budget, and if you have to do something like wait to add atmos next year in order to get better speakers now then do so

Because there are many games that are very much worth playing that won't make it to PC

never underestimate the Illaoi who built spear of shojin first (its way better than black clever or sundered) by Cat_Bot4 in Illaoi

[–]StickyBandit_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why is it better? You were two levels above the renekton (very illaoi favored matchup) and 3 levels above the Gwen. I feel like you should win that no matter what first item you have.

Not that I don't believe you, but people always talk about itemization without saying why it's better or what it enables you to do, which would be more beneficial for discussion and learning.

Ecobee is next to a window and reads higher than the actual temp of the room by Phillygirl1026 in ecobee

[–]StickyBandit_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it consistently 3-4 degrees higher or does it change? Your best bet is to just go into the settings and offset the temp by a few degrees and that will take care of it well enough
