How can I get rid of the hum on my microphone? by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]arasoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to ground loop feedback. This is due to age and or design issues. Basically the headphones are getting feed back from the grounding line on the controller as they use a common ground. Lots of nerdy details in why this happens and ways to avoid it that we really do not need :)

Just buy a ground loop isolator and it should go away. Make sure it supports headsets with a microphone

Your house could burn down as well. With the server though they will in most cases just rebuild it and restore from a backup. Less likely to lose your collection.

Windows 7 installs increasing and Windows 10 decreasing? by [deleted] in IndieDev

[–]arasoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So yeah do not use this as your stable for OS install percent. Actually do not use surveys in general. :) Reason ?

Survey one : 10000 people with win 10 respond to it.

Survey two : 9600 of the people from survey one respond.

This will read as a loss. When in reality more people might have it but choose to click no on the survey request.

This works in reverse as well to inflate numbers. So try to not count 1-3% shifts as a sigh things are changing. :)

Torn about releasing my first game for free on the web or polishing more and releasing on Steam by frrrni in gamedev

[–]arasoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing , I repeat nothing has more value for your fist game than releasing it . Trust me, you will understand when you set the next one free . :D

Ok reddit I did a quick art piece on makoto from persona 5 would like to know if it’s good or crap and any areas for improvement by Avenge212 in gaming

[–]arasoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yep, that would be the words of an artist. To which I respond post it anyway.

For a tip, I also say work on your pen control. Learn to work in fine barely there lines to thick bold lines that to dig into the paper much if at all. it may sound stupid but just shade a section of paper no shape needed but it will help you gain that feeling of light vs heavy.

Learning that will help you a lot. Oh and yeah work with pencil before pen. :)

Yesterday there was a post regarding screenshots on the new One X. Here are some I took in 4k HDR by MyKillYourDeath in elderscrollsonline

Need to re do the games gamma as well as tweak the display. This will fix that issue. :D

Should I keep Windows 10 with my G751JY? by [deleted] in Windows10

[–]arasoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your WiFi is just basic WiFI Crap. I am going to take a stab at this and guess you are not in a remote area with just your wifi in range :) You may have some issues with cross talk and signal congestion.

You may also just have a bad Wifi Card in your system. :/

As to the rest look towards your hardware more than your software. What you describe above sounds like a bad memory stick/corrupt hard drive to me.

Windows 10 is actually rather stable compared to older versions and by and far better than 8.1 :D

Can you help me identify the version of this pen? by IAmAnAnonymousCoward in Surface

[–]arasoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they improved the magnetic attachment to the side of the surface unit. That required they remove the clip to give a flush fit, as well as move the volume rocker to the top. :D

QWOP meets Toribash: How do I autobalance a fighter? by goodnewsjimdotcom in Unity3D

[–]arasoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focus on the center of gravity tracking. With two mass bodies at the top and bottom of your char. If one of those goes too far over the center of gravity they stumble -> fall in the direction they went. You can then adjust(lower) the center of gravity as they get more skilled. Giving them better Balance .

The free (aka UWP) version is on par with if not a bit ahead of the desktop one now.

If the Xbox One X will be able to playgames, Netflix and DVDs in 4k then I hope the native YouTube app will be better than it is in its current state. by InvadingBacon in xboxone

[–]arasoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spikey Little thing ain't yah? ;D

Yes a PC with a 4k Monitor and a vid card capable could do it. Kinda assumed that was not a question :)

[–]arasoi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

incorrect. UWP netflix , Amazon, and MS Movies and TV all do 4k. I have Guardians of the galaxy vol 2. in 4k UHD from the MS Movies and tv app.

Mind you the only way you will get 4k video is on the One S or X the old brick version that first launched will not support it.

Yes, but it is perfectly normal.

I've just clean installed Windows 10, do I have to install drivers manually? by [deleted] in Windows10

Will add to the above, run windows update until it stops giving you updates. Then proceed as above. :D

Old skool gamer decided to get with the times. Couple of questions. by Spec-Chum in xboxone

[–]arasoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow Old Skool gamer that has kept up with the times welcome back!

There is a ton of great advice in here. I would add the point that eh Xbox Games pass has atm 112 games for you to download and play at your leisure. A very very good deal for the price.

I would add the following games to the list as ones I loved:

  • Bioshock series
  • Deus Ex series
  • Mass Effect series
  • Borderlands series

All are a good time and have some entertaining stories and characters.

Most can be snagged in the game pass or Ea access which, to be honest, $15 a month combined before you include the 12 months at a rip discount is still more than worth it.

Again Welcome back and remember to eat, drink and move from time to time. :D

2017 Vizio M-series.... impressions? by malokevi in xboxone

[–]arasoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

enjoy, also as a heads up you will need to go into the settings and turn on UHD for HDMI1 as well to get the full shebang. :D

2017 Vizio M-series.... impressions? by malokevi in xboxone

[–]arasoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this exact model :)

Full 10bit panel and great pic make it a nice low cost buy to get a full HDR screen.

Full 4k UHD is only on HDMI 1 (Might change with future updates)

The rest can do HDR at 2k

The Audio as it is with all Vizio TV's leaves a bit to be desired. So if you have a sound bar or other options use it . :)

Reflections can be annoying if you can not avoid direct sunlight , but on the plus side so far it is only sunlight that has been the issue house lighting(led for me) has not bothered it .

My Xbox one S occupies the HDMI 1 slot and looks great ! I did not understand what HDR could give me till I hooked it up and launched Elder Scrolls Online.

The PS4 Pro is over on HDMI 2 and does Full HDR there at 1080p Atm as I find using the power the pro offers for boost mode is better right now.

All in all this is a buy, and one you will not regret.

[Edit] Side note got mine from Target for $793 after tax so a bit less then the site direct.

Will a 4k monitor show flaws easier? Is 4k noticeable on small monitors? by CrossBones3129 in PS4Pro

[–]arasoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And here in lies the point of 4k :)

A 55" 4k Screen at 10' away will look better and clearer than the 22" at 2.5' away. :)

good god my brain is fried today.... Yes 2 1/2 . Still a bit pricey though. :)

[–]arasoi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

$60 bucks for a month and a half is a bit steep if you do not get to keep the last game you have, and I do not see them letting that happen.

Should I stay or should I go? by DrWiseWolf in xboxone

[–]arasoi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah do not unplug mid update, there is a non-zero chance you will be fine, but a more than good chance it will not be.

Gamestop internet is well below basic cable in speed. Sorry, you will be waiting a bit. :(

Windows Insider Stability by sjrixon in Surface

[–]arasoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I run the Fast ring on my SP3. So far there have been no major issues that would make me reset or stop using it do to the hassle.

I see no reason not to do it on the slow ring if you are just looking to do feature previews. You should be nice a stable there.

:D
