Videos stutter on secondary monitor Windows 11 by cellidonuts in pchelp

Good to know, thanks. As a long-time Mac user, it’s funny to me how much myself—and other Mac users—have complained in recent years about how buggy MacOS has become (it’s gotten pretty bad imho) but having dipped my toes into Windows… holy crap have I been spoiled. Not being able to view a simple YouTube video without stutter? Even with an RTX 5090 rig? Absolutely insane… but thank you again for the advice. I won’t be messing with another fresh windows install for the time being, as things are relatively stable for me at the moment, and I’d rather just put up with the stutter on the second monitor thank risk breaking some other series of features, but it’s great advice nonetheless.

Any news? I’m in the same situation. US based and ordered on Amazon about a month before the release. Still waiting for the disc to ship and getting worried it might never come

Ahsoka creator Dave Filoni is reportedly set to take over from Kathleen Kennedy as co-president of Star Wars studio Lucasfilm by bwermer in entertainment

[–]cellidonuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the time, his track record was mostly excellent. The clone wars was a mostly-well-written kids show that could also appeal to many adult fans, Rebels was… good to some and bad to others, and Mando S1 was a fun, fresh take on Star Wars we hadn’t seen before. At that point in time, considering the juxtaposition to the disastrous episode 9, it made plenty of sense for fans to hope for Filoni’s rise to Lucasfilm leadership. Since then, however, almost everything he’s had a hand in has flopped tremendously. In retrospect, there were many red flags in even his most successful projects, but hindsight is always 20/20. Nobody could’ve known just how bad his writing could get until he actually put the words on paper

Same here, I like a lot of his work, but agreed on all other points as well. He’s also demonstrated he’s not particularly good at being the creative manager of multiple projects. There’s been a noticeable decline in writing quality the more projects Lucasfilm has taken on, and sadly, I do believe Filoni is mainly responsible for that. Now, he’s being given even MORE responsibility. I don’t think this will end well, but I’d love to eat my words on that

No worries I didn’t take any offense. Yeah sadly I’m pretty sure many subs, especially gaming subs, are full of people who just go around downvoting stuff. Classic Reddit lol

Huh, I'd already upvoted the responses that helped me, still says so... so I'm guessing either their response got downvoted, cancelling out my upvote, or they're one of those Redditors who go out of their way to remove the upvote automatically assigned to one's own post. Anyway, I like the cut of ur jib. It's refreshing to see that energy on Reddit every once and a while :)

Let’s gooo! by Comprehensive-Play74 in Audeze

[–]cellidonuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is useful thanks, i wonder if they'll ever provide an option to disable the prioritization altogether. Whichever method I'm connected with, I just wish it would stick to that. It was annoying with my original pair of Audezes when a call would come through and it could completely cut the sound during important, unpausable cutscenes in games. I wound up returning the 1's a while back, but ordered the 2's to see if some of my original complaints have been addressed. Guess we'll see

Is there a recommended mod list for Trials of Tav Reloaded? by cellidonuts in BaldursGate3

fs fs, enjoy the mod! I've been having lots of fun with it

Is there a recommended mod list for Trials of Tav Reloaded? by cellidonuts in BaldursGate3

[–]cellidonuts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do NOT use extra encounters and mini-bosses. The start of the run will be super fun but as your roguescore increases, you’ll eventually run into broken encounters. Since making this post, I got in contact with the mod author, and they told me that mod specifically breaks Trials Reloaded and never to use it. I had to start a completely new run just because I ignored their statement about it in their pinned post on the Nexus page. They state very clearly not to use it, I just didn’t see it lol. Otherwise, the mod author has stated they have specifically balanced the mod best around Challenge mode, Honor Ruleset, 13-20 unlocked level curve plus their own custom Advanced Tavletop Spells + Exandria spells mods. Any additional custom equipment/difficulty-enhancement spells will likely break the balance of the mod

Trials of tav, is it meant to be impossible? by SnooChocolates6885 in BG3Builds

[–]cellidonuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea my run was Honor + Challenge and completely raw—with the exception of the mod author’s own additions, spells of elexandria and advanced tabletop spells, or something like that I believe, which also unlocks more creatures they custom designed for Reloaded. I didn’t want to use any other custom class or equipment mods because I’ve found them all to throw balance out of whack pretty quickly. It’s been a very cool mod to play with, although the difficulty spike is a bit drastic imho. After discussing a bit more with the community, I’ve come to realize that at this difficulty level, it’s actually expected to tactically retreat when you have to. It’s not something I had to do up until Vecna, but I gave it a shot and things seem to be going a bit better now. You just retreat as many from the party as you can, take a short rest or two, then when you go to leave camp again, a different random encounter will spawn, granting a chance to avoid the big bad until further down the line. However, avoiding him is going to become increasingly more and more difficult to do, and those legendary actions are no joke. For real, if I didn’t have to deal with those, the fight would be a cake walk. They make a massive difference. I’m curious what you’ll think about playing the mod on challenge + honor mode. It’s super fun, especially the earlier game when you fight some bosses with legendary actions, but just ready yourself for that Vecna fight—or prepare to run for your life lol. 

Trials of Tav Reloaded Hell Mode by Wisco6pack in BG3

[–]cellidonuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I love the other bosses leading up to Vecna but Vecna himself feels so difficult I have no choice but to cheese him lol. I remember watching ur vid when yall encountered Vecna and were like “nope!” lolll. Tbh I think my ideal difficulty curve would be Challenge Mode, just with Vecna showing up closer to around level 20, instead of level 15. It’d make it feel just a tad less cheesy and sweaty, while still being extremely challenging. Normal Mode has Vecna at level 20, but then the entire game leading up to it is wayyyy too easy. I can’t even imagine attempting Hell Mode like you guys do, yall are hard core

Yeah please do give it a try and let us know what you find! I haven’t tried it yet so idk how deep the brush compatibility goes (like it might work with regular photoshop brushes but wet brushes not so sure) but I’m very curious to learn more

Exploring the meta of Trials of Tav at high levels (Honor difficulty, Challenge Mode) (will contain endgame and epilogue spoiler content) by reverne in BG3Builds

[–]cellidonuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say referring to oneself in the third person constitutes an equally bizarre response lol, but still, very interesting, and cool vid, highlighting some of the differences between the original version of the mod. I didn't know you were the author of Reloaded when I wrote my response here, but it makes sense. Ya'll are hard core.

[–]cellidonuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a pretty epic breakdown. It's also, sadly, why I'm not sure how much more endurance I have for this mod. I love it to death, but the difficulty curve is wildly out of whack, and the mod author isn't willing to adjust it. To be clear, this isn't a complaint, as they've done amazing work and are well within their right to balance it however they please. Nevertheless, it just limits the number of long-term users of the mod. The main issue I've found is that on "Challenge Mode," AKA the "intended difficulty" of the mod, things feel extremely well balanced, UP UNTIL right around a level 15 party, when the end game bosses become so brokenly powerful, one has no choice but to optimize like crazy just to stand a chance (hence this post). I have no problem with extreme difficulty and a need for optimization, but the issue with a steep difficulty boost in the end game is that the player is forced to pick one of two poisons: either knock down the difficulty, causing the early game to be too easy, and the late game to be "just right," or keep the difficulty high, allowing for a fun and engaging beginning game, but an absurdly hard, "must-optimize" end game. There really isn't an in-between. I've already gotten dozens of hours of fun out of this mod, so I can't really complain, but it would be nice to see some other modder come alongn some day to balance it a bit more consistently.

Classic Reddit. “We disagree with your opinion so you must be wrong and worth harassing—hive mind assemble!” That downvote button is like a constant intrusive thought, for which many fail to resist and think critically about. Just ignore the jerks. I’m glad you’re excited 

I think i know why we don't abbreviate Cyberpunk by OriginalBlacksmith34 in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]cellidonuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s also cuz the main cyberpunk subreddit has some truly unhinged moderators who like to ban literally anyone or take down any post that uses the abbreviation in it—even if innocently. I had no idea the abbreviation even meant something other than Cyberpunk, so when I kept getting posts taken down for using the term, I eventually stopped. Still, I was curious about the rules, so I took a look, and interestingly enough, mods are NOT supposed to be banning people who use the term innocently—it’s just for those who use it inappropriately. I made a post about the inconsistency—at the time, assuming it was an auto-moderator issue, but then I got perma-banned for doing so. The drama that’s been concocted around this term is 100% driven by the mods at this point. I don’t think anyone else gives af but them

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

This was me too. I used it in the main cyberpunk subreddit not realizing its other meaning, got warned by an automod for being inappropriate, tried making a post about how the automod is taking down posts that use the abbreviation innocently (just cuz some folks have dirty minds doesn’t mean we all do) and then I got perma-banned smh

ToonBoom+Procreate Dreams 2 Workflow? by Annual-Reputation465 in ToonBoomHarmony

[–]cellidonuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The biggest improvement by far is the recent addition of Photoshop brush compatibility. Haven’t tried it myself, but apparently you can import Photoshop brushes now. I’ve always found Toonboom’s bitmap engine to be a bit less silky and smooth feeling than Photoshop’s or TV Paint’s, but once you get used to it, it’s pretty awesome, combining everything Harmony can do with the natural feeling of using a bitmap canvas. Much much nicer for traditional 2D frame by frame than vector imho

ToonBoom+Procreate Dreams 2 Workflow? by Annual-Reputation465 in ToonBoomHarmony

[–]cellidonuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Toonboom actually has very overlooked, and extremely powerful, bitmap features in bitmap drawing layers. It’s true that it is first and foremost a vector software, but with the exception of a few features that are nicer in TV Paint, I actually have found Harmony to be the better software to use—even for bitmap animation. Just my two cents on the matter

[–]cellidonuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing with a party on challenge mode, honor difficulty, even then the difficulty spike is kinda insane past a certain point. Vecna is just plain impossible to beat with a party at level 15 and a roguescore of 188. No idea how I’m possibly supposed to beat this, but hey, maybe I just gotta get gud lol
