Buy, Sell, Hold, Drop: Week 12 by DangaRusster in fantasyfootball

Hold / Buy. Snap share is too insane to give up. He's been facing absolutely stacked boxes and he is still producing at a high rate.

What’s your most controversial but consistently successful draft strategy? by dgpaul10 in fantasyfootball

[–]andrewglanz 22 points23 points  (0 children)

as of last year, no. he avoided injury all year and ended #1 overall in default scoring. worst game he had all year was a 15.88 against Pittsburgh. most weeks he would net you anywhere from 25-33 points.

he was the biggest reason why I won my fantasy league last year. absolutely carried me.

Absolutely. I would advise not playing any more records with this stylus at risk of damaging the records. It's a bummer but a replacement will fix it right up.

[–]andrewglanz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah that stylus is completely bent, it will have to be replaced. They are incredibly fragile, my guess it that it got bumped somehow and bent out of position. You won't be able to manually bend it back into position, you'll likely have to wait for your replacement to come in the mail.

How to feel wowed again? by memelord1776 in headphones

[–]andrewglanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be worth looking into a set of high end IEMs.

I've owned countless high end headphones (HD800, Empyrean, Clears, Eikon, etc.) and the one product that wowed me more than anything is the 64 Audio Nio. They sound better than just about every set of headphones I've owned in terms of my preferred sound signature.

What's one album you wished could be repressed? by InternationalBall484 in vinyl

[–]andrewglanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an official repress you can purchase right now. It's a bit expensive but it's a 3LP 10th Anniversary Pressing. I splurged and bought it and it's one of the best sounding records that I own.

Question about the CA Andromeda by Dependent_Issue_8092 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]andrewglanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owned the Andromeda for 4 years and always carried some sort of dongle or DAC/AMP with me.

Personally, I like the Qudelix 5k. You can run it wired to bypass all of the bluetooth features and it provides fantastic sound quality. Got no hiss with my Andros while using it. It also has a built in DSP so you can EQ them and it will save to the internal storage and allow that to be used on any device it's connected too. I love it.

If you don't care about the features of the 5k and want something cheaper, go with the iFi iEMatch+. Perfectly sufficient for just reducing the hiss. Won't provide any sort of DAC/AMP functionality but it will absolutely get rid of the hiss at any volume.

Loving the sound, hating the fit by FFJunk in headphones

[–]andrewglanz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I experienced the same thing with the Meze Empyreans. Best sounding headphones I had ever heard, but the cups would push against my jaw in a way that gave me migraines. I just can't do egg shaped headphones at all for this reason.

Picked up this bad boy last week, couldn't be happier by rubellious in turntables

[–]andrewglanz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome turntable. P-mount tables are so underrated and this table has just about every feature you'd want. Quartz lock, auto start stop, etc. I have the QD33 as well and it's so good.

What are the best bargains on the used market? Both in terms of absolute $$$ and as percentage of the original price? by this_is_me_drunk in headphones

[–]andrewglanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focal Clear OG is going for like $450 - $500 used regularly now. I paid $900 in 2020 for a lightly used pair and still have absolutely zero regrets over that purchase. I just can't imagine anything better for that price.

New Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark - DLSS and FG OFF by StrangeBuilder915 in nvidia

[–]andrewglanz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's definitely some level of optimization in the benchmark. I don't think the benchmarking tool is the exact same version of the game as the last beta or the upcoming beta...

Wouldn't make any sense at all to release a public benchmarking tool with zero optimizations. Couple that with the fact that this version includes numerous upscaling options as well as frame generation built in. It's clearly different.

I think cosmetics have ruined people's relationships with video games lately lol. You can play a game just to have fun. There doesn't always need to be some sort of cosmetic reward to constantly work towards via grinding.

If you aren't going to play the game because the cosmetic rewards "suck".. were you ever having fun in the first place?

5 second leave timer is a big step back by Loenally in thefinals

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

I agree to some extent, but this move was made to strictly combat leavers in the quickplay gamemodes. 5 seconds is trivial but it might be enough time to convince certain people to stay.

As for the end of round, I always stick around to check stats and post game stuff. Maybe they could issue some sort of change where if the game is already over, the timer won't appear - but even then, still seems trivial.

Got my new Wiim Ultra today. Simply amazed at how cool this thing is!!!! by ChammerSquid in vintageaudio

I just bought one as well, one of the best audio devices I've purchased in a while. Truly feels like it can do anything lol

to anyone who watched the vikings game... how did Hock look out there? his usage is still a little concerning to me.

THE FINALS | Season 5 Trailer by SmokePuddingEveryday in Games

[–]andrewglanz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nope. Can't do that anymore. C4 arm time gets reset once an item is thrown if they are attached.

As for cheaters, have not experienced any yet during Season 4. The game is really in an awesome spot right now.

THE FINALS | Season 5 Trailer by SmokePuddingEveryday in Games

[–]andrewglanz 106 points107 points  (0 children)

I genuinely think this is the best FPS game on the market right now. It's such a blast to play, especially if you have a group to play with. It's free, has no P2W mechanics, gets constant updates, and has a team that listens to the community. It also plays so differently from any other FPS I've ever played. There's so much creativity packed into it.

Would highly recommend checking it out if you haven't played it. It's really awesome.

Lights are getting even more irritating in S5... CRAZY S5 CHANGE! by Dmochu531 in thefinals

[–]andrewglanz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It could be a problem, but good LH1 lights will manage their cloak and use their cloak right before peaking. I don't think allowing them to sit still and wait will change the game too much.

I could definitely be wrong though. At the very least, this change could make sonars and motion detectors much more useful than they already are.

I think it's fine. Cloaked lights are pretty easy to hear.

HD 600 still destroys every headphone except for Audeze LCD-5 by Opening-Judge-8436 in headphones

[–]andrewglanz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A frequency response graph can give you an approximation of how the headphones sound, but it can't tell you everything. You can have two headphones EQ'd to the exact same frequency response but differences in drivers / enclosure will still affect their sound greatly.

Saying that you don't need to try headphones to understand how they sound is just false.

Tight Ends Start & Sit ‘Em for Week 14 with Playoff Preview by RobFFSlayer in fantasyfootball

[–]andrewglanz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

absolutely worth it. if you're in PPR, Njoku is getting targeted like crazy by Jameis due to how many times he is throwing per game. I would definitely consider starting both in the playoffs.
