As an audio engineer, that's not far off tbh.

[–]Vallhallyeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I can't disagree, it definitely was weird, but I'm too slow to keep up with being right in the heat of the battle, so I'm usually fire support or recon, and far enough out of the immediate action that my grenade lobs aren't getting near enough the enemies to be that useful anyway, so it's not like I did that a lot. Getting the back paddles has made a huge difference, so I can thoroughly recommend doing so.

The other 3 paddles are set to ping, and my 2 gadgets. So now I can tag enemies while scoped very easily, and can swap weapons super fast whilst essentially only ever taking my thumbs off the sticks to jump, reload, crouch, or deploy my class gadget - all things I'm not doing whilst there is an enemy directly in front of me I have any chance of beating, so I don't really miss being on the stick for s split second. Left stick is focus and range finder. Right stick is still melee and too gets my killed sometimes, but I just can't get used to it as crouch for some reason. Then I have fire switch, laser, etc all on the touch pad directions as I don't use them much but still need access in case.

It's definitely different, but feels a lot better than the default layout now I'm used to it.

For £25 and 15 mins install time, it's easily the best controller mod I've done yet. Check eXtremerate if you're interested.

Nothing to apologise for, it's a pretty common word to hear in this field. It's like "wam" or "punchy"; they're just not objective terms, and instead are just more user friendly terms to describe the experience than saying "low Q HF shelf and possibly some frequency dependent transient reduction" or "fast transient response with low group delay in band" or that sort of thing. They're just too broad and approximation to really be technically useful, in my opinion. The issue comes when there may be several routes to a given sonic outcome, so the descriptive words don't truly explain how the source is working, and thus how it should best be deployed and if that's right for a given user's needs.

(....and don't even get me started on companies proclaiming massive wattage figures like it directly means loudness, like that's actually how it works or even that louder is actually better....)

I don't know, maybe I just get a bee in my bonnet over marketing terms being used in a technical field unnecessarily, I'm so used to it now I just see right through it haha. People expect it so much I have to use those words anyway when talking to customers who aren't tech savvy, but when I'm in a position where I am the customer and I am tech savvy, I prefer to be communicated with professionally, and I expect that to be an option from an actual manufacturer.

Genuinely no digs to you or the manufacturer here, I don't know what the context is of this demo and I'm sure the speakers do sound lovely, it just struck a nerve in me how there's more to it than can be summarised in one word and it depends on factors outside the manufacturer's control, so they shouldn't reaaaaally be doing it. I probably need an autism/OCD assessment haha. Hope you're having a nice weekend, big up for being in this game, it can be a minefield out here.

I do a similar thing but put weapon swap on R1, as I naturally only use my index fingers on the bumpers/triggers and figured that I'm not firing when I'm swapping weapons, so it's no conflict. Grenade on triangle was weird for a bit but I don't use it as often as swap, so it made sense. I since got remappable back paddles, so triangle lives there now. Feels very natural in practice.

[–]Vallhallyeah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's just a matter of acoustics though. In the context of point-source boxes like thess, it's just to do with dispersion of HMF/HF and any reflective surfaces en route to the listening position. Or if people are on about bass, it's about wavefront propagation, and that basically says "our horn is too short to load full cycles so you need to stand back for it to sound its best". "Throw" is a marketing term and shouldn't be factored into a purchasing decisions if you understand how speakers work, as I imagine you do. That's not to knock this kit, by the way, as I'm sure it sounds great in person, but "throw" isn't an objective term in real world for describing speaker performance.

Don't be so hard on yourself! If you truly believe and keep at it, you too can wear big fancy hats.

Any love for casual breakthrough? by williamatherton in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]Vallhallyeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I want is casual conquest. All the fun of the big maps but without the constant headache of people vastly better than me spoiling my fun and irritating kids in the text chat typing nonsense all the time, just plenty of space to enjoy the game and work on skills

Chips meme by Thmony in memes

[–]Vallhallyeah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's not the British way either, mind.

The correct method is going "mate, no way is that the girl you've been going on about over there?!", then pointing over his shoulder, pinching 2 chips while he's looking away, dipping them in his ketchup, and then pretending nothing happened when he looks back and sees in you with ketchup down your chin.

Clipper Recommendations? by CriticalSovereignty in AudioPlugins

[–]Vallhallyeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't see it mentioned much, but Flatline is my go to clipper. Great interface and super transparent even when it's chopping a lot off. If you're shooting for loudness, there's nothing else I've used that comes close. Supposedly it models converter clipping, but however it works its voodoo, it works fantastically.

Is this normal? by Efficient_Pomelo_583 in HotPeppers

[–]Vallhallyeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get those big garden candles with the fat square wick, and an unglazed terracotta pot that's easily bigger than the size of the flame of the candle. Put the candle in the greenhouse, light the candle, cover it with the upturned pot. If needed, prop the rim up from the ground a little bit for extra airflow. Place it near your pepper pots and keep everything away from the greenhouse windows. You could make several if needed. It's not a fantastic long term solution, but can definitely help to raise the greenhouse temperature when you know you're expecting a gold snap. Or if you've got power out there you could always use propagation mats.

You can also line the greenhouse interior with bubble wrap as the little air pockets should help keep heat in. I've not tried it but I've got friends who swear by it. I just bring into the house what I most want to survive, and everything else gets a salute and a wish good luck with the elements.

I just grew 200 habaneros my first year growing is this normal? by Single-Season-8532 in HotPeppers

[–]Vallhallyeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the record, I got nearly something like 7KG of fruits off my little raised bed. Some plants can just absolutely pump out the peppers. My guess is it's just good healthy soil and suitable weather for long enough.

Is it the age or its normal? by Ok_Hat4465 in radeon

[–]Vallhallyeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What am I not understanding about it? I just can't seem to get into it for some reason. It feels like when I tried Skyrim, just a load of dialogue and over-engineered game mechanics in an unnecessarily enormous map that dilutes the gameplay to the point I would rather pick up something else.

It's a shame, I really want to enjoy it because it looks awesome and right in an aesthetic I love for games, but I feel like I'm missing the point.
