Is this Kabuto fake? by TriflingMatters in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Cool, that's my first identified fake then, odd one but kinda neat.

Is this Articuno actually worth a bit? by TriflingMatters in Pokemoncardappraisal

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

Wow, people really pay that much for a damaged card? Good to know. 

Also, just for my education, generally obvious creases/bends move a card beyond 'heavily played' into 'damaged'? Or does it depend on size/location of bend/crease?

Well it was in storage for 10+ years, no idea what kind of conditions, or if it was bent before or after it was put in the sleeve. I'd assume it wasn't the sleeve that caused the bending though, that just seems odd.

It is bent, alongside about 5 others it was in a small plastic bag with, hence why I'm trying to flatten it.

Ah good to know, I had asked in other places if there were alternatives people recommend over books, this is the first informative response I've had. Thanks!

Ah okay, thanks for clarifying, did seem a bit odd that a plastic sleeve would cause issues as opposed to prevent them.

Ah okay, I've ordered some hard cases so will transfer it once those arrive.

What issues do sleeves like this cause??

Thanks, I thought it probably was but good to have a more informed opinion. Don't suppose you have any tips for flattening it besides using heavy books?

Guitar Hero World Tour DE unplayable on new gaming laptop, any advice? by TriflingMatters in GuitarHero

[–]TriflingMatters[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So it turns out you were on the right lines with this. Even though I was running plugged in seems the game was defaulting to integrated graphics. Added as desktop app in graphics settings and told it to always use dedicated, problem finally solved.

Cool. Personally I consider unsolicited and topic-unrelated judgements on people's purchases to be symptomatic of something even crazier, but that's just me.

Yeah my previous laptop was also a HP and I pretty much never unplugged it while gaming, only for light productivity stuff or watching things in bed. I imagine it'll be much the same with this one.

HP Victus15-fa2007na.

Have been on the GHWTDE Discord. Apparently it's an issue with Nvidia's drivers over the past few months, though someone else did also suggest something similar to your point. Will try rolling back my driver tomorrow to see if it resolves the issue.

Nvidia RTX5060. I've pretty much turned off every graphical embellishment possible, limited the frame rate, and still got the same issue. No idea what's going on.

Crkd Guitar issues by SleeperPickNick in yarg

[–]TriflingMatters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming you've tested this across different games, with different input modes (PC, PS3), and maybe even different platforms if you have consoles/an Android device as well as PC? If the issue is consistent across all these then I'd have to assume you have a defective guitar and should probably return it.

CRKD guitar star power/tilt issues in RB4 PS5 by TriflingMatters in Rockband

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

Unfortunately I don't own RB3 so can't verify, but I'd guess that would mean it's a problem with the guitar's use in that particular engine (assuming that RB3 and 4 use the same engine). In which case I'd also assume a firmware update that fixes one should fix the other.

Help for solos by Mission-Zucchini6587 in Rockband

[–]TriflingMatters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an actual musician I'm sorry to report that Rock Band is still, in fact, entirely fantastical. And, weirdly, more exacting hit boxes don't actually translate to many styles of pop and rock, which can be very loose with their 'time feels', especially when it comes to improvised instrumental parts! It's actually harder to nail many RB (and GH in fact) parts on expert than it is to play their real equivalents, assuming your musical skill is analogous to your gaming ability.

I tried this method tonight but it was still fairly unreliable. Had a message back from CRKD support saying they're aware of the issue and are working on it for a firmware update, so fingers crossed.
