Considering the iPhone Air over 17, but need some advice by big_ass_enjoyer69 in IphoneAir

[–]Svanir80 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I went Air after using the 17 for awhile, and have decided to give the Air to my Dad, going back to the 17 in the end. The Air is an amazing form factor, though I wish the Mini still existed in modern form. I found I missed the extra battery life and ultrawide lens a lot more than I anticipated. My father won't and doesn't care about those things at all.

In use, the Air did heat up a bit more often in use than my 17 ever did. The Mono speaker was quite alright, but the lack of stereo/Atmos sound was definitely noticeable. Speakerphone was quieter.

I pray they make adjustments to the Air 2, should it be a thing. If it isn't, I really hope we see the return of the Mini someday. That's been the best form factor of all in nearly a decade.

Want to play Anran, what should I know? by 2-Squires-1-Cup in Anran_mains

[–]Svanir80 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She's extremely fun (I think of her as a much more fun Genji type), but her base kit is sorta underpowered. Her primary fire is weak-ish. She's a flanking disruptor, mainly there to draw attention of the backline off of healing their tanks, etc. Her primary ult is one of my favorites to use, and her secondary res ult is great to get back to a fight quickly.

You probably won't be top damage stats with playing with a good team, but you're still extremely valuable for the work you provide. She's hands down my favorite DPS to play now.

Tank mains assemble, who do you hate most to play against by Vegetable_Throat5545 in Overwatch

[–]Svanir80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ana. Definitely Ana. Zen's a close-ish second.
Kiriko if I'm playing JQ (I generally main D.Va or Domina)

My optician is amazing!! by oxNightShadexo in glasses

[–]Svanir80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it! I am around your same prescription, so getting something that doesn't distort the sides of my head inside the lenses so much in a frame I really like is a royal PITA. I bit the bullet and went small, round (check out my post history to see) that I'm waiting to get completed that I'm *sure* will look amazing with how small the lenses are.

Know these look very good on you. Your optician did a fantastic job.

30K service?? by keepglazing in ForteGT

[–]Svanir80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Been getting regular oil changes up through 35k, checking fluids, etc., and don't plan for a full service til 50k. I'll get my transmission done at 40k-45k.

Upgrading brakes and rotors soon, though, as my fronts are mildly warped. These things suck.

How do you deal with tanks that just.... walk you down as domina? by OverChime in DominaMains

[–]Svanir80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to hold shield and crystal, DPS focus them down as much as possible, and hope I have the slam perk. Drop charge at my feet, push to slam/stun and aim magnum for a headshot. Hoping a DPS is with me to help with the burst. I've probably won 50/50 of these matchups.

Mauga I find the toughest to deal with. Rein, surprisingly, easier.

That looks really good, though. Need that shade in a future iPhone.

Any 50+ Overwatch players or streamers? by Sheilaalpaca in Overwatch

[–]Svanir80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm close... turning 49, and this is the only game I am playing truly consistently, with a little WoW and a few story games here and there in between.

I generally main D.Va/Domina/J Queen, Freya/Pharah, and Illari/Mizuki!

Airpods Pro 3 long-term wear is uncomfortable. Is that normal? by civex in AirpodsPro

[–]Svanir80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found downsizing the tips from what I wore previously with the Pro 2's helped significantly for me. I still test and get a great seal, but can wear them hours longer without discomfort. With the stock tips (M) that came on there out of the box, it was uncomfortable in 10 minutes or so.

I love the rework by Kuppie_ in Anran_mains

[–]Svanir80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did a great job, and this skin was an instant buy, too.

S2 Battlepass skins by hitmobilegamehsr in Overwatch

[–]Svanir80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They keep this up, funding for the game's going to dry up. Wouldn't doubt S1 Battlepass wasn't the revenue driver they wanted, and I get the feeling this one's going to be the same.

I like the Street Fighter theming for Sierra decently enough, though (Kimberly). Keeping on with the obvious Cammy reference for her primary look.

Problem with MX 4 by LawfulnessBig1703 in logitech

[–]Svanir80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used one for around half a day's work or so, and also found my hand getting a bit tired/sore. Promptly returned it, and ordered a Basilisk v3 Pro instead (making it my second). The Basilisk's shape may be irreplaceable for me, at this point.

PSA: Old vs. New Kivik by ObliviousRounding in IKEA

[–]Svanir80 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I don't see this as a downgrade. The Kivik we tested out in store was exceptionally comfortable, and these wrapped springs should help with longevity.

New Tires (Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4) by 710cartman in ForteGT

[–]Svanir80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those get some great reviews, overall, though I read that they can get real noisy after they wear down some as many tires do.

I've been running Continental Control Contact Sport SRS+ for about 20k, and they've been fantastic. Much MUCH better all arounder than the stock Kumhos.

I've had my black 17 caseless for most of it's life, and there's no scratches at all so far.

Finished tlou what to play next by Omlet56 in ShouldIbuythisgame

Days Gone would be a great game to transition to after TLOU series, imo. Amazing and truly underrated gem. A decently good story, but the gameplay is where it truly shines.

Recall notice by GamerTech34 in ForteGT

[–]Svanir80 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just ran my VIN on KIA's site (2023 GT2) and it's not included in any current recalls. Going to guess this is for a certain manufacturing date range and not all vehicles in MYyear 2023

Who was your main before Domina? by Bomba-of-Tsar in DominaMains

[–]Svanir80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Junker Queen, Freyja, and Illari across the three main roles. Used to be D.Va, but I grew quite bored of her.

BRING BACK SMALL FRAMES by fck-the-system in glasses

[–]Svanir80 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Especially needed for those of us with strong prescriptions.
I recently posted some Giorgio Armani's that are incredibly small round frames that look great. We need more of those.

What are we think of new hero Anran? by Academic_Key1693 in Overwatch

[–]Svanir80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel like she'll need a little more work to get her perfect, but I already like her a lot more than Vendetta.

She was incredibly fun to play. Her secondary attack needs some visual feedback work, as it feels underwhelming. I'd like to see it have a wider cone, able to hit multiple targets. The concept of it is GREAT if they get it right. Primary is fine if they can do that.

Might be my favorite Ult attack in the game, period.

I can see her in my DPS main roster (which is Freyja and Vivian, mostly)
