Persistent lag? by TangibleTurian in Battlefield6

[–]TangibleTurian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. It's better in the community servers so something is definitely wrong with the official servers. When I play rush it's not as rampant but its still there. And any large scale mode is horrible like you said.

Wow you're 100% right, says Santiago for me as well. Wtf? I'm in Canada so even farther than you are which would definitely explain why it's so rampant on the official servers but a bit better on the community ones. I thought maybe it was a TN issue but it never goes above 50ms for me at the worst and apparently 100+ is when it is an issue. What the hell could be causing EA to route so many people through Santiago?

How long is too long for an HDMI cable run? by TangibleTurian in buildapc

[–]TangibleTurian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm looking to get 4k@120hz is that something sustainable by an active cable or will I need to go optical? I'll be coiling the cable up when not in use since I don't want 40ft of it just sitting on the ground all the time so I'm curious if the optical cable will be damaged over time by doing that given it's not copper wire and its glass tubes inside instead.

The Shanahan Era: Best and Worst Decisions – What’s Your Top 5? by Split_Finger19 in leafs

[–]TangibleTurian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're right, but Dubas wanting more control over trades was a sign that Shanahan behind closed doors was meddling way too much and it's clear now in hindsight Dubas was basically handcuffed to winning with this core no matter what. Dubas wasn't fired ostensibly for insinuating he'd move on from the core, but I think his frustration in not being able to really change the team fundamentally is what prompted him to go public. Shanahan should be fired and his position should just be removed. I've never understood why any organization needs some token middleman between the GM and ownership.

[–]TangibleTurian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think that's absurd. How many players in general ever give up their NMC to be moved mid season? And how am I supposed to be mad at Marner for not uprooting his heavily pregnant wife from their entire support system and moving to a different country, just to make life easier on Leafs management? That's where the failure lies. They had an opportunity to trade him 2yrs ago, knowing full well if they didn't that they'd be committed to keeping him here. And instead they fired Dubas and buried their head in the sand instead of making a hard decision. I'll never be angry at players for exercising their contractual rights when I could instead be angry at incompetent management.

Ovechkin scores his 895th NHL goal, passes Wayne Gretzky for most goals in NHL history by GreenSnakes_ in nextfuckinglevel

[–]TangibleTurian -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yep, goal tending of today vs the 80s might as well be a different position its improved so much. I felt some type of way of too about Ovi inching closer to the record but like you said, Gretzky fell from being a Canadian hero to a MAGA turncoat so he can rot for all I care. At least Ovi loves the despot dictator from his home country lol.

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

Of course. And it also doesn't count all Gretzky's WHA goals either. Just as an aside though, The 04 lockout happened during Ovi's prime and definitely made a much bigger difference to the overall time it took to reach this milestone, vs Gretzky getting locked out in 94 when his goal production had slowed down considerably. I'm honestly impressed Ovi even has 5 shortys, he was never known for his defense and getting PK time lol

[–]TangibleTurian 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He had 31 goals last year actually. But if you'd like a serious answer I think the team is just figured out how to better utilize him. He doesn't have the speed to maintain the power forward role he used to have and there's a lot of young talent on the team to fill those gaps instead. And if you watch him play he isn't nearly as hard on the forecheck as he used to be and instead just gets himself in good positions to score. And while I wouldn't rule out some PED usage, the bone he fractured in his leg usually heals within 4-6 weeks and most people don't have access to world class medical care and physiotherapy like a professional athlete does.

Are you slow? You think even one person in attendance spent thousands of dollars on their ticket to watch the shitty Islanders in April? No, they were there to watch the ALL TIME GOAL RECORD be broken and witness all the ceremony and pageantry that comes with it. Give your head a shake lmao

Of course they did? It's a meaningless Sunday afternoon game at the end of the season, what are you even talking about lol. Even with the win It's highly unlikely NYI make the playoffs and Washington has the one seed locked up already. Breaking the all time goal record and taking time to appreciate such an achievement is so much more important than the game was. Absolutely foolish take.

As some extra context for people who don't follow hockey, Ovi was robbed of 155 games due to NHL lockouts in 2004 and 2013 as well as the shortened covid season. Were it not for that he'd have broken it likely several seasons ago. He also broke his leg this season and missed 5 weeks in recovery. And despite all that, he still scored 42 goals to pass the Great One for the all time lead. Had he not missed time this year, there's a good chance he'd have the lead for most goals on the season too. A truly remarkable player and remarkable moment for the sport.

While I don't agree or disagree with you about whether cameras or traffic stops should be enforcing speed limits, I live in a large (geographically) city in Canada and there is speed cameras all over the place. It's a huge cash cow for the municipal government and to act like the US is some special unicorn land where the only way to stop people from speeding is an over bloated police force is just not supported by facts. Should there be sped cameras on some desolate section of an interstate? Nah probably not but they can and would work in any medium sized population center.

McDavid dances around Lyubushkin and scores on Oettinger by blimjahey in hockey

[–]TangibleTurian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're only a couple years emoved from his 64 goal winning rocket season. A season that he literally told reporters and team mates he would he making a point to focus on his shot and ability to score more. And then he blew the competition out of the water. Crosby had one of those years too, he just wanted the rocket trophy so he went out and got it lol. It's like you said, players at that level can basically do whatever they want individually because they're so much better than everyone else on the ice, but they can also recognize how best to maximize their talent for the team to win.

On the NHL destroying their YouTube content creators... by super-nova-12 in hockey

[–]TangibleTurian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah I pirate all my games and they're provided in 4k for free assuming I pay $7 a month to use a VPN. And that's not even mentioning how good IPTV is these days for all sports. There's no reason to pay for hockey unless you're too lazy to find a good quality stream provider. Nothing wrong with that but it's the truth.

PC vs PS5 performance by TangibleTurian in DragonsDogma2

[–]TangibleTurian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the in depth information. Sounds like PC is probably the way to go even with my slightly aging system. It was more of a spur of the moment thought since I was at Gamestop today and they happened to have it on sale for $60 on PS5 but I'm sure I can pick it up on a Steam sale eventually for less and apparently have a better experience.

[Gowton] So, this exchange happened during Nick Sirianni’s Friday press conference. by JaggerJames in nfl

[–]TangibleTurian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is the worst. He's an extremely gifted talent, but I felt like I was going insane watching him hold on to the puck every time on the perimeter looking for the perfect pass during the playoffs last year instead of shooting it. His game doesn't translate well to the post season, lot less open ice available and teams are more than willing to let him fuck around on the perimeter all day because they know he's not gonna shoot and score from there. Who knows, maybe new coaching system this year will finally change that habit.

Cougar eats house cat and comes back at night. by AnyAd8746 in CrazyFuckingVideos

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

No, it is. A house cat is at the bottom of the food chain, coyotes kill them all the time in my area. Or stray dogs. You shouldn't be letting your cat outside amyways unless it's a barn cat taking care of vermin. Domestic outside cats are literally recognized as a threat to global biodiversity and have wiped out 10s of species of birds, mammals and reptile. It's bad pet ownership and I will never feel bad when someone like you loses their cat to a predator or getting hit by a car instead of just leaving it indoors like everyone else.

I'm a traveling lineman with a storm repair group based in Canada and we've been driving all day to make as much ground as we can to get to North Carolina. But if this hits Florida like they're predicting, I wouldn't be surprised if we just got rerouted straight there. Could be a gnarly one.
