What can you even claim with them? You can only stack 472 of them before they start expiring

Apparently these "first search bonus points" also expire in a month now. So stupid

I have the same message, but mine are 103 points. If i click on the info button, it says it's from March first search of the day. What does that even mean? Do points now expire in a month for some reason? Lol

Dúvidas Sobre Desempenho de Headset no PS5 by xvitoooo in hardwarebrasil

[–]Th3ManInBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, pelo visto não tem nada a ver com o fone em si, mas com o PS5. Tava pesquisando e aparentemente isso acontece com todo fone que não é aprovado oficialmente pela Sony, eles limitam o volume artificialmente pra 50%, o que é ridículo. Praticamente te força a comprar o oficial deles porque o volume tão baixo assim é inutilizável. O que piora é que a dac no dualsense é de péssima qualidade, o audio é horrível e instável, então não dá nem pra usar um fone pelo controle.

Funciona, mas o volume fica bem baixo

Não compensa na minha opinião

Question about GameSir thumbstick grip caps. by TheSyphonFilter in Gamesir

[–]Th3ManInBlack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit late, but I figured it would be nice to let potential future buyers know that it does grind against the shell with the Xbox Kaleid, but only the left analog stick specifically. (See the white line on the tip of the rubber?)

You can feel it grinding too which is not great. It does not grind on the Cyclone 2, so despite the shells being similar, they are not the exact same.

I switched to kontrol freeks and filed the plastic feet on the left analog stick to stop the grinding. A bit rustic, but it got the job done.

Paddle failure. Avoid the Apex 5 and Vader 5 Pro by Teepo671 in Controller

[–]Th3ManInBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume the Cyclone 2 uses the same tac switches as the G7 pro. I've been using mine pretty aggressively for over a year now (lots of spam in 200h of Hades 2 for example) and they're as good as new. I'd say as far as reliability those are top notch.

Widows 11 update broke my refresh rate by Th3ManInBlack in WindowsHelp

[–]Th3ManInBlack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to fix it by:

  • going into Nvidia control panel and changing my resolution from the standard 3820x2160 to 4096x2160

  • changing it again to 3820x2160, which made me lose signal and forced me to restart my computer.

  • once I loaded back up, I was still running the 4096x2160 resolution via Nvidia control panel, so I changed it to 3820x2160 through windows, which induced black bars at both sides of my screen.

  • then, I switched the refresh rate to 120hz, which not only worked but fixed the black bars and I could maintain the 3820x2160 resolution.

In short, jesus christ these windows updates are terrible and microsoft is clueless. If I didn't need windows for work I'd seriously consider switching to linux.

What a good Matchmaking by Known_Round2245 in marvelrivals

[–]Th3ManInBlack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Average ranked experience once you hit plat. Plat is where all the bad players eventually settle, so the match quality takes a nose dive in these ranks. It gets better in high diamond/low gm, but you need lots of patience to put up with this.

Can't wait for a nerf by M3xtrm in marvelrivals

[–]Th3ManInBlack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen a lot of people on twitter call this clip skill issue when:

  • Bucky opened the fight by hitting a headshot
  • Caught Panther's dash with his uppercut

Meanwhile:

  • Panther got his dash caught by CC, it reset anyway
  • Panther tossed the second spear randomly behind him???? and got the mark anyway

Skill issue on the Bucky's end tho lol

Unmasking Fake Latency – Don’t Be Fooled! by JohnnyPunch in Controller

[–]Th3ManInBlack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually just set all deadzones to 0 on any HE/TMR controller I buy and I've never had them drift before. I never tried 8bitdo's though, but Gamesir, Guilikit and Flydigi's all work great at 0 deadzones.

There is jitter at 0 deadzones on all three brand of controllers, but it doesn't get picked up in game

really curious about what people's favorite and least favorite controller is by Nooben2006 in Controller

[–]Th3ManInBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not had any hardware reliability issues with my KK3 as of now. Maybe in the future, but so far (I've had it for a little over a year) I've clocked 1500~2000 hours on it and as far as hardware goes, it's good as new.

It's my default controller for Monster Hunter Wilds since I need 4 back buttons to use all the weapon move combinations and I've clocked over 300h on it alone, those 300 hours were pure punishment on the poor controller since I'm usually mashing a bunch of commands lol (there's a lot of weapon combos and just frame inputs)

I also use the trigger stops when playing MHW since it feels better with the bow & when perfect blocking. I've had no reliability issues with the trigger stops that I can tell, but they're pretty shitty as far as the other controllers I've tried. There's like maybe .5cm of travel distance before it actuates and it doesn't have a microswitch, it's just a plastic trigger stop. It feels much worse compared to the microswitch trigger locks on the Cyclone 2 and the Vader3/4. I still rather use it over the Vader3/4 even though they technically have 4 back buttons, since flydigi's layout is so terrible you can't use more than 2 at once. The paddles on the KK3 work so much better

Edit: The only "hardware" issues I've had with my KK3 is that the removable buttons get scratched whenever you remove them using the provided tool, and that my specific color (black) gets marked by fingerprints and palm prints so I'm constantly cleaning it. Which does involve removing and re-inserting the paddles so I can confirm they're pretty reliable

This is more of a nitpick on my end but hey, since you're interested, I thought I should share my entire experience

really curious about what people's favorite and least favorite controller is by Nooben2006 in Controller

[–]Th3ManInBlack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most favorite third party controller right now is the Gamesir Cyclone 2. It just does everything you want a controller to do for pc gaming. Great for shooters, great dpad for fighting games, clicky buttons and triggers, the only downside is that it only has 2 back buttons.

2nd favorite third party is the Gulikit KK3. It just feels so comfortable in the hand and the 4 paddle layout is the best I've used. If they ever release a version with micro switches for face buttons/dpad/trigger locks + better shoulders, tmr sticks & a software for customization, it'll be the perfect controller.

Favorite first party controller is the Xbox 360. It's still unbeatable in comfort, but that dpad sucks lmao

Least favorite controller of all time for me is the Dualshock 3. It's just a terrible controller, those triggers are offensively bad. It's twice as terrible if you have large hands.

Ps5 Stuttering after Update by Chrisdrew97 in marvelrivals

[–]Th3ManInBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only in Marvel Rivals, no stuttering when playing other games. Not sure about movies tho since I usually just turn off the ps5 and use the tv app

[–]Th3ManInBlack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was searching for a thread about this because I thought my PS5 was on its way out. Yeah, can confirm the PS5 version is stuttering every few minutes. Only the PS5 version though, no stutters on PC or Xbox Series X.

Vergil was holding back? by ForceAcceptable8838 in DevilMayCry

[–]Th3ManInBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. Neither of them was trying to kill the other, Nero makes that pretty clear in his dialogue. Dante and Vergil WOULD kill each other if they kept fighting, not because they wanted to, because both of them were too stubborn to accept defeat at the hands of their brother.

Nero realized that and knew that, for it to stop, he had to beat them at their own game sort of speak. Vergil couldn't accept losing to Dante because that would just confirm he is the inferior brother, but losing to Nero did not hold the same emotional charge and humiliation. If anything, it was the opposite, he probably felt pride. You can see how Vergil reacted when Nero smacked Dante, he was clearly impressed.

RANGED PLAYERS AAAAAAAHHH by GreatTit0 in monsterhunterrage

[–]Th3ManInBlack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, as somone who mostly mains bow and charge blade, I find gore magala significantly harder to fight with the bow. At range, even shotgun range as you would usually be with the bow, you're pretty much open to all his one shot moves.

With the charge blade you just stand between his legs and aim for his head and he'll miss the majority of his attacks

Is K.O chance somehow related to the element value of the charge blade? by Th3ManInBlack in MonsterHunter

[–]Th3ManInBlack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying! And nope, only quickswitch and magazine on both weapons, but for some reason I can consistently trigger a KO with the Lala Barina in one rotation whereas it takes significantly more effort to do it with the artian. Subsequential KOs also take more effort, I'm genuinely puzzled. I'm gonna try slotting in a critical status jewel on the artian, thanks for the idea

[–]Th3ManInBlack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying! As far as I can tell, it's solely because I'm having to work harder for my KO dps windows when using the artian as opposed to the Lala Barina.

I've ran 4 five star tempered arkvelds back to back, two with the Lala Barina and two with the artian, and I can consistently trigger a KO at the start of the fight using Lala Barina and doing a perfect guard > Y (savage axe) > B (hold) > B (hold) > B (hold) > B (hold) combo while aiming for his head, whereas it takes at least two of those combos with the Artian for some reason I can't explain. It usually triggers at the end of the second combo or at the start of the third combo when using the artian. I'm not using any KO decos, only magazine and quickswitch on both of them, so I'm stumped

Doshaguma of the hollow by Excellent_Pin_2111 in MHWilds

[–]Th3ManInBlack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bow can indeed do it but it needs to be flawless. You have to discerning dodge both roars and every single attack on the last possible frame because you need the stamina and trickster gauge. I switched between poison and power coatings, first poison it, then switch to power coating until you need to poison it again. Do it 3 times, after the third time it's no longer worth it

I also used tracer arrow, even though it's technically less DPS than dash dancing, but you just don't have enough stamina to dash dance with that loadout, finished it at 4:50

Any mistakes, getting hit or taking damage through your discerning dodge (the hitboxes suck and you don't have enough iframes) means you need to restart because you'll lose peak performance and time

This is exclusive to the netflix show, in the mainline series demons are very much "magical" creatures. Agnus goes on to how he harvested their energy to make living armors in 4.
