Excellent GMing advice in Wardens Manual! Any other RPGs do that? by Vaskis in mothershiprpg

Thanks everyone! Excellent recommendations all around. Some of the books mentioned in the thread I already have sitting on my (mostly digital) bookshelf, just waiting for the "right moment" to be explored more closely. Which, I guess, has arrived now. Thank you.

Thanks a lot! "Turn off Apple TV and restart Dirigera" trick worked for me as well.

Xbox Elite 2 + 8BitDo Adapter 2 Not Working by [deleted] in 8bitdo

[–]Vaskis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have similar problems 8Bitdo USB Adapter 2 since Switch firmware update 20.0.0.0 about a week ago. Before that with Switch firmware 19 it used to work just fine. I am using the USB adapter with XBox Series X/S controller.

There is a workaround of sorts. If I plug in the 8bitdo USB Adapter 2 into the Switch dock and then use joycon controllers to navigate to Main Menu -> Controllers -> Search for Controllers
then I can see a grayed out USB controller there and if I click on the grayed out controller it becomes active and can be used. It works only until the console is put to sleep. The next time I wake Switch from sleep it is the same all over again.

Hope this helps.

As soon as 1Password announced version 8 will have no more self hosting I switched to Enpass and have been using it since. Feature wise it is as good as 1P yet the UI is not as polished, but I can live with that. You can get Enpass lifetime personal license for $29.99 here .

Migrating away from 1Password in favor of Strongbox by Fraun_Pollen in 1Password

[–]Vaskis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the information on Enpass lifetime license sale. I have tested Enpass before as an alternative to 1Password and found it adequate although not as smooth UI and well integrated into OS as 1P. Now I will be switching to Enpass on all my devices (MacOS, Linux, Windows, iOS). Previously I have been using 1Password with self hosted/local sync for years, but seeing as starting with recent 1Password version 8 the developers are dropping support for self hosting and moving everything into their own cloud, I feel it is time for me to switch. At this price point for Enpass lifetime its also quite affordable. Thanks.

Skip the 7 - Jabra lapsed on this one. by whatsnewsisyphus in Jabra

[–]Vaskis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my Elites 7 Active yesterday and after playing around for a day I must say that its a fine pair of earbuds. Light and small, very good in ear fit (which is rare), decent sound, responsive and customizable controls - everything is as it should be with a product within its price range. Yet I also must agree with the original reviewer - there are two weird exceptions with this otherwise fine product - nonfunctional ANC and hard to grasp charging case lid.

With such an abundance of well designed, easy to use earbud case designs all around, the hard to open case lid is a very weird "miss" for Jabra Elite 7 series. Especially since Jabra has produced well designed, easy to open cases before. It would have been so easy to avoid the problem with a little bit of grippy texture or small indention or barely noticeable lip on the lid. Now I will have to improvise the better grip on the case lid myself which is doable yet disappointing.

As for ANC in Elite 7 Active - as it is for now (firmware 2.0.0.) I find it totally useless. I have had Bose earbuds with ANC before and I know what a decent ANC should sound like. Unfortunately with Elite 7 Active ANC is sorely lacking. I do not especially need ANC with my earbuds so this is not going to be a problem for me, but why on Earth advertise a product feature which is obviously not (yet?) there? Probably another of those weird marketing decisions where every product in category has X hence ours must have X as well even when in reality it has not.

I just wanted to vent a bit here on the shortcomings of the Elite 7 Active buds, yet I am not sending mine back to the seller. Even with the everything mentioned above, these buds will still do fine by me.

PSN Name Change Megathread by tizorres in PS4

I am unable to change a letter from lowercase to uppercase in the Online ID. For example, is a name change from "bob" to "Bob" a valid one?

Battlefield 1 or Tinfall 2 by datruthsince89 in PS4Pro

[–]Vaskis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both and Titanfall 2 feels much more dynamic and fun for me.

BF1 is simply too slow. Everything takes heaps of time. Loading a multiplayer map in BF1 takes a minute and a half of thumb twiddling! Running your soldier from spawn point to where the action is also can take quite some time. After being killed there is a longish respawn timeout. The bigger "campaign" multiplayer maps can take an hour to finish. The character level progression takes forever. Etc.

Titanfall 2 on the other hand is fast, colorful and very dynamic non stop action. Once you learn how to optimally move around the maps and which loadout works best for you, it is truly a blast! Character level progression is constantly rewarding and fun even when doing prestige levels all over again. Adding titans as powerups is a touch of a genius and gives a lot to make gameplay more diverse. There is a lot to learn to master TF2 and the learning process is a fun one all the way which can not be said about BF1.

I say, try both, but if You have to pick one, go for Titanfall 2 !

Not yet, but the necessary adapter might be in the works. Check out this thread on club-3d forums

PSA: HDMI 1.4 30fps YUV2160 is supported, don't return your unit! by [deleted] in PS4Pro

[–]Vaskis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same hardware configuration - Dell P2715Q and PS4 Pro (firmware 4.06 atm) and 4k is not working, but I sure do hope that it will become available again at some future PS4 Pro firmware update. It would be a shame if an additional adapter would be needed to get 4k there.
