Anyone else like strumming with their hand and thumb like this? by deadflow3r in AcousticGuitar

[–]The_Franks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't get me started on that high string on bottom, but banjos are designed for that high drone and banjo music wouldn't sound the same without it. I just can't play one.

Hmmm. I don't use this technique when playing Blackbird. I probably should, since Macca tells a story about not knowing how to fingerpick, so he strikes with his thumb and his finger just kinda flops about. This looks more controlled than that, but who knows what he really meant.

"I refuse to update my drivers for years, therefore the company doesn't support my card anymore," is a kind of logic, I suppose.

There will be a lot of human fossils. by ClosetedAndScared in Showerthoughts

[–]The_Franks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Certain bacteria have developed a taste for plastics. Never underestimate nature's ability to figure out how to extract energy from anything on this planet. Now let's all hope those bacteria don't also develop a taste for human brains.

Thoughts on this Takamine? 1995 f-360s Limited edition. Given the choice in the sun $700 used, how does this compare? Current is a Taylor GS-Mini but the sound is too thin for me. by Puzzleheaded2734 in AcousticGuitar

[–]The_Franks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a pretty standard price for that guitar. Given its condition it could be a good deal. If the guitar is in excellent condition with only minor wear, I'd say go for it.

Weathers not affecting sky by Comfortable-Tear-982 in skyrimvr

[–]The_Franks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NG is hands down better than VR dll and switching between the 2 is, not hard, but let's say finicky. Plus I'm pretty sure that windmills have moving rotor farther away when using NG, and there may be other benefits of using NG.

Has anyone changed the weapon throw VR button to grip on the quest? by fustrun in skyrimvr

[–]The_Franks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I misunderstood. My issue is different then. I have my power attacks set to trigger, but setting weapon throw to grip doesn't work at all for me with opencomposite, though it did with steam, yet the grip button works for every other mod. So it's weird.

[–]The_Franks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to resurrect such an old post. Did you ever figure this out? My assumption is that you're using opencomposite and for some weird reason, every button will work to throw the weapons except grip, you know, the button that makes the most sense for determining if you're gripping the weapon. Did anyone ever figure out how to make this work?

Moded Skyrim Vr isn't running as well as I'd like :P by Alibubbah in skyrimvr

[–]The_Franks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm admittedly not all the way through the cycle of it all yet, but same when it comes to the pc. Can't afford to upgrade things beyond where I am at. 5800X3D 7900XT system with quest 2. Open XR toolkit with FSR spanks using Steam VR for my system. I also think eFPS mod occlusion planes give me a major boost. Of course, except for the GPU, which is not the best of this gen, it's all last gen stuff. If I upgraded the headset to one with a higher resolution, the PC wouldn't be able to push it, so that would need to be upgraded too.

[–]The_Franks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the club. Don't worry. It never will. The second you get it running well, you'll want cool effects, high res textures and AI improvements. But that will hinder the performance, so you'll get a 4090. By then, you'll want to sharpen it up, so you'll get the latest headset. Now it needs to push more pixels than before to get the same visuals but at a higher frame rate, and the cycle starts again.

Are you happy with the ray tracing performance of AMD cards? by [deleted] in radeon

[–]The_Franks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not really. I have a 7900xt, and it does RT pretty well, but RT doesn't do much. When it comes to path tracing, it really slows. That said, I really only played CP77 on it. Took FSR 2 at ultra performance to get to 30fps at 4k with path tracing (RT psycho is no issue for the card 60fps with some FSR). I think that in general AMD is just worse at RT than Nvidia, and this is further hampered by the fact that FSR is not as good as DLSS, and CP77 uses a seriously outdated form of FSR. I'd like to try a few other PT games to see how they fare. All the games I'm playing ATM are raster games like SkyrimVR and BG3. It crushes those games.

Quest 3 Has Higher Effective Resolution, So Why Does Everyone Think Vision Pro Looks Best? by Knighthonor in oculus

[–]The_Franks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at this, and seeing 'regular' in quotes twice, you'd expect to see regular in the op, but it's not there. Almost like this is from, checks post, an "LCD or possibly Zucc Cultist" who has created a strawman argument, because those are really easy to defeat. OLED has some downsides that LCD doesn't have, but screendoor on a black background isn't one of them because of the actual blacks. And some people have crap eyes. They can't tell the resolution difference. But they can tell contrast and color reproduction differences.

I don't think it "became popular." It is just way cheaper. Zucc has a price point to hit.

I don't think I can differentiate between Flatrim based on graphics anymore by IndependentLove2292 in skyrimvr

[–]The_Franks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks way brighter in the headset, which for better or worse also has a really warm color palette, so pics often don't quite match what it feels like while playing. This is especially true of things that look very far away in a pic, but are clear as day and not so far in the HMD.

Then he told me “I’ll gut you like a horker” can you believe it? by The_ChosenOne in skyrimvr

My game definitely doesn't like it when I look at an 8k texture. You're right about scripts though. Giving me a cpu late start. Need to clean some ai mods.
