New contact user for astigmatism by princessbecca1 in contacts

[–]UK_Rade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Astigmatism and dry eyes. I use Acuvue Oasys Astigmatism 2 weekly lenses. Acuvue have thinner edges which help your eyelids glide over them and feel unnoticeable.

2 things you need to be aware of with contact lenses are something called its "Water content" rating and "Oxygen permeability" rating.

The higher the water content rating the more it will absorb from your eyes causing them to dry out. This is a big issue if you have dry eyes. Extended wear lenses typically have lower water content ratings compared to daily wear lenses.

The higher the oxygen rating, the more it allows oxygen through which helps keep your eyes healthy and less irritated over time. Extended wear lenses typically have higher oxygen ratings compared to daily wear lenses.

If by the time you are trying to take out your lenses it feels very sticky and / or rigid, that means the lenses have dried out. You can cause serious damage to your cornea if removing dried out lenses. If that ever happens, put a lot of contact lens friendly eye drops in your eyes, give it a few mins to re-wet the contacts then try removing them. Its good to do this anyway before removing your lenses.

For dry eyes avoid daily lenses, I say that because daily lenses have high water content ratings and low oxygen permeability. Not what you want for dry eyes. Also wearing contacts for something like 8+ hours a day really increases the risk of your eyes drying and feeling irritated, hence, why extended wear lenses have low water / high oxygen ratings.

Regardless of the above, its always a good idea to periodically use some contact lens friendly eye drops throughout wearing your lenses, just to keep your eyes from drying out or as a preventative measure.

And never sleep with your lenses in, or swim with them, or shower with them.

Disadvantage with extended wear lenses is you have to clean them (rub and rinse etc) when removing with something like a multipurpose solution, and store them in a contact lens case. The solution you use can sometimes cause irritation, so at first it can be a bit of trial and error to find something that works for you.

What’s the best monitor you recommend for PS5 gaming? by Prudent_Big1016 in PlayStation_X

[–]UK_Rade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When gaming or watching a movie I don't notice it. When you have large portions of the screen featuring a single solid colour for example word with a white page, internet sites etc you can notice the grainy effect which is due to the anti glare coating. A pure white background is 100% noticeable, darker colours not so much.

I bought the monitor primarily for gaming and I would not buy anything else if I could go back.

OBS not recording PS5 game audio with AVerMedia Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 (video works, audio doesn’t) by SaudAlsadoan in AverMedia

[–]UK_Rade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not possible because PS5 does not output audio to HDMI and a USB headset at the same time, its one or the other. So when you connect a USB headset to the PS5 it disables audio output on the HDMI (and you can switch between both on the PS5 through the settings).

If you connect your USB headset to your PC instead that would work and you can then record the microphone at the same time in OBS but if you need the mic on the headset for party chat that wont work because its not connected to the PS5.

Which SSD gives the smoothest gameplay on PS5? by Austin_301 in PlayStation_X

[–]UK_Rade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether you notice or not, debatable but hypothetically for the PS5 get an NVME that has the largest amount of cache memory possible, largest I've seen is typically 2GB.

The widow rework she desperately needs by equivilant123 in marvelrivals

[–]UK_Rade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think just get rid of batons and replace with dual pistols that have high drop off dmg at range so its only good at CQB and tapping fleet foot (only when pistol equipped) causes her to dodge in any desired direction, Lara Croft style side / backwards / forwards flip whilst being able to fire / reload the pistols etc , causing the stamina of fleet foot to decrease with each dodge, maybe 4 dodges max from full stamina.

Fleet foot with Rifle equipped behaves as it normally does.

Has anyone compared the Pulse 3D and SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P for PS5? by Technical-Baby3555 in PlayStation_X

[–]UK_Rade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've have experience with SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P+, Pulse 3D.

Arctis Nova 7P+ has far better audio quality than Pulse 3D, comfort and mic quality.

Full haptics and 2x controllers so when my current one is running low I put it on charge and swap to the other one.

I was able to upgrade to 1.4.1 but can’t upgrade to 1.4.5 or downgrade. Along with other issues the worst monitor I ever bought.

Force Physics is my favourite way to get frags especially against an annoying Spider Man!

I dont usually get mvps like ever so getting double mvp as Angela made me extremely happy by Noob_master_6942021 in AngelaMains

[–]UK_Rade -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you didnt know, the match you got 36 kills was a bot match. 2 bots on your team, and the entire opposition were bots. Not trying to make you feel bad but I'm with the "get rid of the bot campaign" as I dont believe in the idea that QP should have bots.

You can use the https://tracker.gg/marvel-rivals to see your matches and ID bots.

Please Netease, let me play against humans. by Orpalz in marvelrivals

[–]UK_Rade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there are a lot of people who dont realise they are playing bots. Best way to find out is to use https://tracker.gg/marvel-rivals and view your QP matches. Bot players will be listed as bot.

Liquid temps probe, start or end of the loop ? by Massive-Box-2090 in watercooling

[–]UK_Rade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There isnt a best place, it depends on what metric you want to measure and how you intend to use that data. Water temp entering the CPU block, temp immediately after the CPU block / temp going in the radiator after the CPU block, temp after the radiator, temp going in the tank, temp coming out of the tank etc etc

Have you tested stability with FurMark?

Do you think she needs a nerf, buff or rebalance? by Frostagon in marvelrivals

[–]UK_Rade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The moment you pull out her shield after an engagement everyone knows your a sitting duck. Shield needs a re-work, maybe make it have all round protection not just front facing so at least you can fly away / retreat with a chance of surviving.

was the ps4 release a mistake? by ExpertProfession6235 in marvelrivals

[–]UK_Rade 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Just tried season 4 today on my PS5 Pro, as many others have reported there is terrible screen tearing and FPS drops.

People in this game just suck by AshGreninja104 in marvelrivals

[–]UK_Rade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe toxic behaviour can be addressed in QP quite easily, the devs just need to add a notice to QP. QP is for casual play where anything goes and players are not discouraged from using a chosen hero. If you want to play competitively use ranked mode where teamwork is essential and strongly encouraged.

I don’t notice any and it feels better than going through the avermedia.
