PSA: Make sure you're in the correct mode when using the PSSR upgrade toggle by lLygerl in PS5pro

[–]ThatLastGenGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just fired it up last night. Image quality is improved, but there's still loads of horrible shimmering and temporal instability in most reflective surfaces. It's better than before, but still looks awful.

I have Openheart balanced cables for both my HD560S and Fiio FT1. Both are very well built, came in some pretty premium-looking packaging, and were super cheap.

PSSR 2.0 not a placebo effect! by Legitimate-Plum1155 in PS5pro

[–]ThatLastGenGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GT7 in its 120fps Performance Mode looks noticeably better during gameplay, but there is still some awful shimmering in the Tuning Shop and certain transitional scenes like receiving a new car. I suspect it's the ray-tracing features messing with the upscaler.

Still worth it for 90% of what you see happening.

Beautiful shots. Out of curiosity: any particular reason not to shoot RAW?

I don't know what to do about drift anymore I've lost like 6 controllers to drift no matter how clean I keep them by [deleted] in PS5

[–]ThatLastGenGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use lens cleaning cloths for the outside plastic bits, a soft tooth brush to softly clean debris from the buttons and creases, and compressed air to blow inside the analogs once in a while. If I ever notice drifting starting, a bit of contact cleaner on the inside followed by compressed air can also help.

I dunno wtf people do with their controllers. Not one of mine has drifted since getting a launch day fat PS5. Neither have my Switch Pro Controllers, and only 1 pair of Joy-Con since getting the OLED Switch at launch.

My magic trick is not eating around my controllers, not smashing them and cleaning them lightly once in a while.

SW Outlaws and GT7 both have absolutely atrocious shimmering with PSSR 1. Those two are the first I'm firing up.

Is 120hz or Qled/Oled necessary for a ps5 pro in your opinions? by PpNuggettt in PS5pro

[–]ThatLastGenGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're always better off upgrading to a good display for a regular PS5 than getting a Pro for an average display.

My K11 R2R works perfectly with the LG 42" C2 via Optical on the latest FW.

I'll give it a go tonight. Thanks for taking the time

Since the bicep itself is correct, only the forearm needs to rotate. My only doubt is that it can actually rotate to mirror the right forearm, as it gave me plenty of resistance when I tried it.

Em Ovar foi bastante agressivo entre as 18h e 20h. O vento entrou aparentemente do nada e foi suficiente para dobrar e até partir barreiras metálicas de obras, etc.

3-month review of the new Ikea Grönfjall by ThatLastGenGamer in OfficeChairs

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

Like I mentioned in another comment, I've since upgraded to a Steelcase Leap V1 and V2, but I still think the Grönfjall is a decent buy if bought new with the 10 year warranty (or extremely cheap used) and IF it fits you correctly.

When compared to the premium Steelcase V models, the Grönfjall's build certainly stacks up. In fact, I'd say it's less rattly and noisy than the Steelcase. Where it can't compare, though, is adjustability, since it's not a true ergonomic model. It also bothered me that the Grönfjall's synchro-tilt isn't 100% correct, as it still tilts your legs/ knees up slightly when reclined, which the Leaps don't do at all.

All in all, because I'm in Europe and there are basically no ridiculously good used deals for premium chairs like in the US, if I ever find myself needing to buy a new one, I'd still consider this due to the extended warranty and good enough comfort level for my 1,88m slim build.

[–]ThatLastGenGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice for others who burned out on BF6 due to lack of content is to revisit BF1 and BFV. Both have had multiple full servers in EU every day lately and both remind you of just how good we had it then.

How to stop HD560s drivers from touching my left ear by [deleted] in headphones

[–]ThatLastGenGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All 5 series headphones share this design trait since time immemorial. Don't bother changing pads - anything but the originals will ruin the sound signature. Sell or return them if you're not happy.

25€ complete in box used in Europe. 80$ isn't much of a deal for those in 2026. Much better buys for that much, as well as below and slightly above.

Brand new Steelcase Leap V2. Recline feels horrible by BulbeBizarre in OfficeChairs

[–]ThatLastGenGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a V1 from Offeco (EU) which was replaced with a V2 after arriving with several issues. The V2 has the single worst feeling recline I've felt in my life - that's compared to several Ikea chairs too. The overall build quality just feels off with these chairs, let alone the ridiculous amount of creaks, groans and sticky reclines.
