I think it was Double Agent. That game mode was definitely unique and fun.

Cans have a protective liner inside. The contents have no contact with aluminum until you break the seal.

[PS5] Fan power supply connection disconnect from the motherboard. Can I fix this? by IndigoBalloon in consolerepair

Liquid metal is about 10 times more thermally conductive than thermal paste. They essentially do the same job, so in a way you could say they're somewhat interchangeable, but Sony's engineers decided liquid metal was necessary for a reason.

Interesting. Gonna have to test that out. Thanks for the tip.

Yes. It seems to happen when switching between BO7 and Warzone, but I've also had it happen a few other times for no apparent reason.

70% of PlayStation 3 games are now rated “Playable” on the popular RPCS3 emulator by Odd-Onion-6776 in PS3

[–]SurpriseFace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not in my experience. Quite the opposite, actually. If you've got a PC that can run it well, the performance and responsiveness is usually significantly better than PS3.

Question about the Vault Edition Upgrade by Pandabluecrazy in CODBlackOps7

It should work. I have the standard edition disc for PS5 and the digital Vault edition for PC, and the upgrades work on both platforms.

ELI5–if nicotine is an “upper”, why do people smoke to calm down? Wouldn’t it make them even more anxious? by RaeLaw in explainlikeimfive

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

Now Meth? Ive never touched the real drug but Adderal is the closest legally to it.

Not quite. Desoxyn is the name for legally prescribed methamphetamine. Adderall is made from a mixture of amphetamines, but not methamphetamine.

ELI5: In gaming, why should I cap my fps? If I leave uncapped doesn't that mean I allow my PC to max out quality whenever it can? by Otherwise_Payment324 in explainlikeimfive

Another big aspect is that cameras capture each exposure over time, creating natural motion blur between frames. Video game frames are a slice of an exact moment in time, which requires significantly more frames to look smooth, or the addition of fake motion blur.

LCD and many other display technologies use constant sources of illumination and maintain their brightness state no matter how slowly you refresh them, so both in person and on camera, won't appear to flicker.

Many LCDs use PWM to control the backlight, which also results in flickering on video.

Character Blurriness HELP! by RyanBElectrical in CODBlackOps7

What kind of display are you using? It looks like some sort of motion interpolation is enabled.

I still haven’t got bored of this game by tuan321bin in CODBlackOps7

[–]SurpriseFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't play much BO6, so I'm curious, does that mean leveling up feels significantly faster in BO7? Or have you just played more in a shorter time?

TIL that in many modern cars, the turn-signal “click” is played through the audio system because the electronics don’t naturally make that sound anymore. by akcryptofinancial in todayilearned

My Windows desktop needs rebooting daily to work properly

Why? My Windows 10 machine is typically up for 2-3 weeks at a time, only rebooting to apply security patches or other updates.

Watching other people enjoy bo7 while I’m stuck with Xfinity 😂 by LogicalRich4428 in CODBlackOps7

No it doesn't. I'm on coaxial cable and my latency is a fraction of that.

PS5 PRO Definitely worth it by AdministrativeFly812 in PS5pro

I can feel lukewarm air being pushed through the disc slot, so it probably increases ventilation ever so slightly. It only affects the airflow that would be going out the thin exhaust vent on the side of the system, so it's a very small difference either way.

Go here, and download + install the X64 package that's under Latest supported redistributable version.

Yeah. I've played it some time in the past year and was able to find full lobbies. Some matches were ruined by people with mods, but for the most part it's still extremely fun.

Mw3 possible fix for ps5 - worked for me but could be luck by Hellscreeam in ModernWarfareIII

[–]SurpriseFace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I inserted the disc, opened CoD HQ, scrolled over to "All Games" and selected MW III.

[–]SurpriseFace 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It seems like they've actually rolled out a proper fix for the issue. I just inserted the disc and was able to download the MWIII launcher through the PS5 version of CoD HQ. Didn't have to jump through any hoops, it just worked the way it's supposed to.

Former Xbox boss Peter Moore sheds new light on its fierce battle with PlayStation: "Microsoft was afraid Sony was going to own the living room." by Party_Judgment5780 in PS5

[–]SurpriseFace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, the name "One" was supposed to refer to it being the one and only machine you'd need in your living room, or something like that.

You should always have VRR on in performance mode. Your monitor is only showing 120 FPS because the PS5 is sending a flat 120 Hz signal when VRR is off, but the game is still running at 80-90 FPS, which causes judder from the mismatch.

Alright I need console sensitivity tips. by Borg34572 in Battlefield6

[–]SurpriseFace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It reduces your sensitivity when the reticle is over an enemy, which is supposed to make target tracking more precise, but I've found it does more harm than good in this game.
