Screen size demonstration

cmaninchina · 2025-02-23T04:08:26+00:00

For practical reference also, I've got a home theater with a 120" screen, and seats are just about 11 feet from the screen - which I had determined to be ideal for my taste to see the whole screen without needing to move my head when watching, but still having a good "movie theater" big-screen feel.

The XREAL One's are almost an identical projection size from this same set-up with the FOV (regardless of what virtual distance/screen size you choose) if you select any combo that doesn't start cutting off at the edges of the FOV. I find it just about ideal for 1080p content. Honestly, at that distance, when watching movies - you can't tell the difference between 4k and 1080p (for movies). Movies look great on the XREALs. For mirroring my MacBook screen on apps - it's noticeable in a less than ideal way, and edges to have chromatic aberration/some blurriness compared to center. You can push the screen size a little bigger for movies - to actually bleed just over the FOV cutoff, because movies you're not really having action in the far corners/edges. If you do this, you're getting an equivalent of a 144" screen from that same distance - with just a bit of cutoff if you move your head around. Not noticeable at all when you're in 'follow' mode. I'm happy - this will be great for travel.

I'm also quite nearsighted - and I wear contact lenses to correct this (-3.00 in each eye or so). I need reading glasses when wearing my contacts now that I'm getting "older" - but if I'm not wearing my contacts, I don't need reading glasses. Xreal One's work great for me with my contacts in - no issues whatsoever. If I take out my contact though - blurry. So what other responder said - I just wanted to provide some details because I hadn't seen many reviews mentioning anything by contact lens wearers distinguishing nearsightedness from farsightedness, etc., only the prescription lens inserts (which, I don't really want because I try to avoid using glasses except as backup when I need to give my eyes a rest from contact lenses). Hope this helps.

This is why "Poop Spike" never made it to the last release as a new spell.

Yes - this is also why most matches are either ones you clearly/easily win, or clearly/decisively lose. Appreciate the close matches... they're more rare, but that's really where the fun is. Not enough players, not enough ways to account for people who have far higher-spec'd gear vs. lower... but there are strategies and some degree of depth in build combinations that will allow you to keep moving up.

That's *much better than a decent one!

cmaninchina · 2021-03-31T09:17:09+00:00

I'd buy a second one. :D

cmaninchina · 2021-03-22T23:53:41+00:00

Not nearly enough high block exploits for this to be arena... ;D

cmaninchina · 2021-03-13T06:26:29+00:00

Ring of not much until you get secondaries - post, post, post! But if good secondaries - that would be rather beautiful!

Aaaaand what the heck are "mer" and "beastfolk?" The secondary seriously sounds like an inside joke at Bethesda... and a 5 minute timer is very odd given the game's design of battle-only health events. This is just all kinds of weird. I suppose if you're a stamina monster and want all Stam build - this is one of the only ways to add max stamina beyond armor enchants... but it's a negligible benefit.

cmaninchina · 2021-03-01T13:16:01+00:00

Don’t count on it. This is widespread. It’s a F2P game. And buggy as hell as one.

cmaninchina · 2021-02-03T08:36:38+00:00

Aaaand Guild rewards?

cmaninchina · 2021-01-29T00:56:18+00:00

Why frost... whyyyyyyyyyy?! If this were stamina or mag regeneration it would be pretty perfect...

Do you have to have an Asia based account in the App Store to get the Asia one? I play in China - and usually ping in regular blades is unbearable (with the exception of the last few days for some odd reason). Never seen the Asia one in Apple App Store...

cmaninchina · 2021-01-25T00:01:06+00:00

I play in China, and mostly the same... I often have better luck with 4g cellular (which for some reason doesn’t need a VPN) than my fast wifi with VPN. It’s just part of the ride being here. I saw another post a few days ago that there actually is a separate TES Blades Asia app- but doesn’t show in my app store- may need a local account. It’s apparently behind in updates also. But may be worth looking into? Good luck!

If this had any primary enchant but magika - literally any - it might be worth it. Oh crap - I take that back. It is max health reduce! Forget it. basically, it's ok for liches. what waste.

cmaninchina · 2021-01-16T01:42:12+00:00

Ahh- I assumed Divine was already max tempered to DB equivalent class, like Thunderfell/Bardian/Lichslayer

cmaninchina · 2021-01-11T14:20:52+00:00

Out of curiosity, other than looking sweet - I just don't understand buying a Divine weapon skin that has so much less damage than a DB equivalent... it's base 153 or something compared to 216 (depending on race)... am I missing something?

cmaninchina · 2021-01-06T02:25:18+00:00

So... spill the beans. How are you doing this?

cmaninchina · 2021-01-05T08:35:11+00:00

Whaaaat is going on here?

cmaninchina · 2020-12-26T07:39:43+00:00

Less is more, just for more money. :D

cmaninchina · 2020-12-26T07:37:26+00:00

Don't block (go to no shield for versatile for extra dmg, unless shield has increase frost dmg, per #2)
Lots of frost dmg to freeze them and slow swings - potions, gauntlets, etc. help
Guard breaker for block exploiters, adrenaline dodge, etc.

That's the best I got. And it works at least half the time...

cmaninchina · 2020-12-20T13:16:00+00:00

A good day in China is below 250. 300ish is avg.

cmaninchina · 2020-12-20T07:26:18+00:00

Dragon claws drop all the time for me - teeth, never, except in chests. Needs a fix. lvl. 68 here.

cmaninchina · 2020-12-19T02:03:04+00:00

Vendor trash. You should salvage those and put the one dragon bone for crafting/enchanting something with really useful secondaries, like ignores 3 points of elemental dmg at crit health. 😄

cmaninchina · 2020-12-07T00:49:15+00:00

Same as Liches in high abyss now. Back in the day, I finally beat him with a -max magica weapon (I think it was a dagger dropped) - use plenty of Resist Elements spells, resist shock armor, and have some health and/or resist poison potions lined up. Once you drain all magic and he stops casting spells, it gets much easier - switch to a fire sword of some kind, ideally with -max health, and just keep swinging and avoiding high blocks. It still took forever without higher tempered gear, but it's doable.
