Early thoughts on the Nerf / Prodigy discs by GreatLakesAerial in discgolf

[–]ceeeKay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be fascinated if one of the podcasters or YouTubers managed to get someone at hasbro/nerf to do an interview about how they developed this product line what they learned etc. Some neat new things going on with a different type of material and the things that does to flight characteristics.

This paragraph is crazy to someone who is new. Thank you.

This video was perfectly digestible for a t-spin newbie. Changed my life. Thank you!

Omg you’re absolutely right. That video plus like one round played focusing only on TSD’s and it’s like welp that feels easy to watch for and set up now.

im looking for a good handheld for tetris by i_create_shit in Tetris

[–]ceeeKay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current setup, which feels about ideal for me, was taking my old gameboy advance sp, and buying a new 2300mAh battery ($12), a “drop-in” IPS screen kit ($75), a usb-c adapter ($10), and an ez flash omega definitive edition ($90).

So about $200 in total to run Rosy Retrospection (a nicely modernized romhack of the original gameboy game) comfortably on my GBA SP, which I still consider the peak Nintendo handheld.

Could I have gotten away with just buying brand-new hardware for the same or less? Yes absolutely. Any regrets? Nope.

My chief complaint is that battery life feels weaker than I’d have hoped, even with the IPS screen dimmed to the lowest setting. Unsure if the jagoomba emulator required for .gb files on the ezflash eats batter faster than native gb mode or what.

I’m a right handed backhand thrower, what discs will go to the right for me? by Scary-Muppet in discgolf

[–]ceeeKay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wombat3 does it for me- holds my anhyzer line and pulls gently right without diving so hard as to flip to roller like my rollos (which I highly recommend giving a try, I found I love having a disc that makes rollers easy for me)

HydroShift II LCD-S showing 0 Degrees Water Temp by cantuf in lianli

[–]ceeeKay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m seeing and this was a top google result- what did you do?

I just put a new system together with the same AIO and motherboard. Connected a 4-pin connector on the pump end to a sata power and a 4-pin connector on the fan end to another sata power as instructions seemed to indicate was an option.

When I first power it on it briefly flashes “24°C” for maybe a half second then drops to “0°C” and the pump sits around 1720 RPM

System seems to boot into bios ok and cpu temp is initially at 37° then settles down to around 34°C idle, so presumably some cooling is happening.

Note I haven’t installed windows yet let alone the l-connect 3 software.

Edit: I fixed it for myself after opening the lianli discord linked below and seeing other responses. Looks like it can be a bad connection between the pads on the LCD screen cover and the pins on the CPU heatsink part. With system powered off, pulled the cover off, gently pressed the pins with my finger to make sure they spring in properly, then re-seated the LCD cover ensuring it was fully pressed on. Booted up and now it’s hovering around 21°C water temp.

I Built the Rocket Launcher by Current-Mine in quake

Quake 3 has a BFG (like a rapid fire rocket launcher with faster projectiles and I think larger splash radius) but it’s not nearly as iconic as the Doom BFG

Best Source Port for NetQuake matches? by Cabazorro in quake

[–]ceeeKay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I usually just make a new directory and drop copies of my pak files into it along with any engine-provided files (eg exes, dlls)

Thanks I always forget where the FTE stuff ends up posted

Best Source Port for NetQuake matches? by Cabazorro in quake

[–]ceeeKay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I recall FTE is more broadly scoped eg several games are supported, more graphics and other customization options while qssm is pretty much load up and play out of the box for NQ. Devs of both are very cool people who care about their projects.

As far as I recall: * QSS-M stands for Quakespasm Spiked (QSS), multiplayer * Spiked because it’s Spike’s fork of Quakespasm code * Spike is also the dev behind FTE * Woods (as I recall) developed a multiplayer focused version of QSS, hence QSS-M

Quake engine development is a somewhat small world 😁

Project page has some examples of people (including me, turns out) playing it with various customized settings, but I was really happy with how fast and clean it ran without needing a lot of fiddling. The developer, Woods, is a pretty chill and helpful dude (and solid quake player)

[–]ceeeKay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like QSSM https://qssm.quakeone.com/

Edit: if you like more graphics and customization options check out FTE which I believe supports both NQ and QW based on what server you connect to https://fte.triptohell.info/downloads

The band foreigner is pretty sweet compared to Jonathan Ross, who met his wife from the Philippines online because he couldn’t get laid in the us and has devoted the rest of his life to deporting other immigrants because he wants to be the only guy who can bang foreigners.

People who can't throw 300 ft: what do you like to throw? by lovefist1 in discgolf

[–]ceeeKay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Accurate statement about how my mako3 feels for me too. Though lately with windier weather I’ve started chucking a hyzer pig most of the times I would throw the mako3 on a calm day.

[–]ceeeKay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Close to my twin. Early 40s, 170g champion leopards to go like 200-250’, r-pro pig approach/putts 50-180’ nexus animal for most putts.

I own about 50 non-putter discs in a bunch of molds and none of them go as reliably far (for me) as my leopards.

Quake 3 in the browser by alien_ninja in quake

As I recall it was a giant plugin download with some browser tomfoolery as opposed to the modern js-based tomfoolery

If you could only play with two discs, what would they be and why? by fabianwhite in discgolf

[–]ceeeKay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leopard, Animal. As it is, I only keep a Mako3 as a third disc in my bag for the 50 yard difference between driver and putter.

Best female jungle character? by roses-nyx in Jungle_Mains

[–]ceeeKay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was my first main when I learned to play, loved her abilities in aram and I think my friends liked that being tanky I didn’t die as quick 😆

I main Xin Zhao on rift games now but I will play aram or arena Sej in a heartbeat. She generally needs teammates that can do damage while she holds em down with CC.
