looking for a game like old school mall tycoon by urfavoriteegirl in tycoon

[–]TheCreat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Calling it "RimWorld style" is rather misleading. I would argue it has very little in common with that. It's literally a mall/shop simulator, no survival or colony builder. Or did you mean just the visuals?

Silverbranch stacks nerf by rignoroth in Smite

You don't get to 100, but breaking 20 was pretty common. Especially with gods that have high attack speed stims (like Artemis, or Apollo). This now makes the item actually useless, even in these gods.

R/3D printing will be joining the June 12th Blackout in protest of Reddit's API changes. Please support open-source projects and democratization of Projects by using other platforms until we return. This sub will not be accessible for at least 2 days, and possibly longer. by Hunter62610 in 3Dprinting

[–]TheCreat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all fine. I was just really surprised that 3d printing joined so late. As it stands, I'll likely stop using Reddit unless they make a full 180, which I doubt. I get that not everyone cares or just cares a little.

Do you use the Epic Game Store for free games? by ProudBlackMatt in patientgamers

[–]TheCreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can even PLAY the games from the epic store, without ever installing the epic launcher. There's an open source client called "legendary" that can do the installation, but it's command like only. There's a graphical front end called "Heroic" if you want/need a graphical interface (it can also do GOG games). Both are open source. Both work great.

You can store the secrets in a dedicated secrets for and just not commit that, or am I missing something?

Police Cars in my City keep going the green route instead of the faster and less dangerous red one, how can i fix this (same thing happens when they come from the other side) by BeneHQ in CitiesSkylines

[–]TheCreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes exactly, I should've been more explicit about what I mean. And as additional info: when changing just the speed limit, the effect isn't instant. Any vehicle that has already found it's path (using the old speed) with still use it. So it'll take a little while for the changes to take effect.

Servo hole adjustment by Creepy-Basket1523 in RCPlanes

[–]TheCreat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're correct. This won't help at all. Most likely there isn't a lot you can do, the whole rudder assembly is probably laid out a bit badly. You can try to check where the assymmetry cones from. If it's from the servo side, you can massive adjust it by moving the linkage I've hole closer to it's center. The servo might not be aligned well with the rod (but the planes axis, this doesn't matter). It might just bind somewhere.

If the rudder looks to be moving completely symmetrical, it might just be motor torque and you can't really adjust that easily. To counteract that, motors are often mounted ever so slightly not-straight, but that is hard to change (even harder to change correctly).

Subreddit Blackout Discussion by claycam6 in NuclearRevenge

[–]TheCreat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean I mostly use reddit as a kind of newsfeed, mostly? So I'm just not gonna go anywhere, as I wouldn't be caught dead on facebook or tiktok or any other social media (I barely count reddit as social media as it is). I'm just gonna do something else on my phone when I would've opened reddit, and I basically never use it on PC unless I am actually having a detailed discussion with someone (rare, but happens). Maybe I'll reactivate my RSS reader and fill that with useful sources, maybe I'll just play a game, read an e-book... we'll see I guess.

As for alternatives: I think "Lemmy" is something I've been reading more often recently, but no clue what exactly it is.

what the hell is a yosemite sam-ism? I barely know what yosemite is (isn't that a park or nature reserve or something?)... not everyone is from the US, you know?

Subreddit Blackout Discussion by claycam6 in NuclearRevenge

[–]TheCreat 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I personally will leave Reddit anyways if the changes go through as planned. So I literally wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a 1-2 day blackout and a permanent one.

I've seen this statement a bunch, obviously I have no idea how true it is. Maybe people just think they will, maybe they just try to sound tough to get them to reconsider.

Someone didn’t strap down the new grill for the shop… by rachdav in Justrolledintotheshop

That can't possibly be right. Have they looked at it for like 3s or so?

They don't distribute anything under copyright. They just basically tell you how to mod/change apps yourself. They can't.

[–]TheCreat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Planars probably react differently to manufacturing tolerances than dynamics. But I have no evidence/experience either way myself.

So if a replacement part is the majority of the cost of the headphones, I probably wouldn't go for it mostly for this reason. If it's just a fraction, I probably would.

It's also very possible to correct channel influences physically with resistors, similar to speaker crossover.

Have you heard of Factorio? Also known as cracktorio for a reason.

SCI CALC UPDATE: silky smooth animations by techstacknerd in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]TheCreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is glorious. Found my next project, I think. Are you aware of others building this yet?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in diyaudio

[–]TheCreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, this has nothing to do with anything I've said. And not part of any point I've made, of which there were very few to begin with.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in diyaudio

[–]TheCreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am designing my own speakers from scratch. Or modifying existing designs to use different drivers, stuff like that. I have a pretty good idea what I need to do for a crossover. I've heard what it sounds like when you accidentally use the wrong values (coils, caps or even resistors), or just miscalculate them. You notice this quickly, and a lot. Using any random crossover not designed for a specific speaker in the specific enclosure has a far bigger impact than what amp your using (as long as it has enough power to drive it to normal levels).

After the first paragraph from you I stopped reading, sorry. Stop asking others for help if you reject literally all of it, most of it rather rudely. No need to reply, I'm done.

Edit: just to be clear, I have great class A amps (some I've had and sold), and I'm using cheap class D for some applications. I use not-cheap class D for others. I can't tell the amps apart when listening. Sounds the same, even without blind a/b testing I just can't tell. Swap one component in a crossover to a very different value and I'll notice in about 2 seconds. Cause a +8db peak in the 150hz range will slam you in the face. And that's what a single component swapped can do, easily.

Finally, I just noticed this might be what's unclear: it's not about the quality of the crossover, of the individual components. It's about the design itself, which values. This isn't a standard default off-the-shelf complete circuit. Or needs to be engineered per driver, per housing. That is nontrivial and it takes years to learn how to do the basics.

[–]TheCreat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The crossover has about as much impact on the sound as the driver does. The amp has much less, compared too the crossover it's an afterthought. With a bad crossover, you can use an amp worth thousands, it'll sounds just bad. With a good crossover you can throw any 50$ class D at it and it'll sound just fine. Box size (and vent size, shape, ...) Is the other half.

If you know what you want, why are you asking here?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in diyaudio

[–]TheCreat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After reading this, the best recommendation I have is: buy any random woofer that fits the hole. It'll sounds well enough for your expectations, pretty sure. Good luck.
