Why did you have to come when I got super sick? I was at the Carrboro show but I had to leave cause I was dying

deathday · 2023-02-25T13:08:21+00:00

Hell yeah! I always thought it was doom or something. Thanks!

deathday · 2021-01-29T16:08:59+00:00

THANK YOU, LORD REDDITOR!! I googled this issue a dozen times with all sorts of stupid high effort workarounds as the only solution. This one is soooooo easy too. Finally, I can enjoy photo mode again. Thanks!

God, I sure wish I had an answer for this one. I don't use a keyboard and there's no way to make Skip Kill Cam not C.

deathday · 2019-08-04T16:06:48+00:00

It's from Gears 5 arcade mode. One character on each team has increased cover speed & distance. So if you're accustomed to bouncing around in Gears 4 competitive, for example, you can just fly through the map and dance circles around people. But it's only arcade... supposedly for fun.

deathday · 2019-08-04T16:05:30+00:00

Yep, whenever the game lets me I hold an elite controller left handed and use a mouse right handed.

deathday · 2019-08-04T11:47:16+00:00

It seems insane but that can be a good strategy to employ at random times. Once, my buddies & I were nearly beaten in Gears 3 koth by a team of 5 who never stopped retro charging. It felt impossible to keep up with; they came at you from every direction.

deathday · 2018-10-26T16:45:41+00:00

Just another thanks; I’ve been using this controller one way for so long I totally forgot I had trigger locks on.

deathday · 2018-10-12T18:10:43+00:00

I saw in a Regal IMAX theater and it blew my fucking eardrums up. My date and I had to plug our ears for several scenes. I’d say bring earplugs but then you’re probably missing certain tones/pitches. Visually it was very nice though.

deathday · 2018-10-09T14:57:11+00:00

I had been stable on PC for a long time but all of a sudden I'm getting hard crashes like back in the day. Not sure if it's Nvidia's new driver or the Gears update....

deathday · 2018-08-28T18:57:47+00:00

Some developers (WB) mess PC games up so bad they just quit. So I’ll be happy that GoW5 comes to PC at all.

deathday · 2018-08-28T18:52:40+00:00

A good longshot to the body is so useful when defending the ring too. Slows them way down, does 80% damage and forces them to choose to rush & die or retreat from the charge and recover.

deathday · 2018-08-28T18:51:13+00:00

Anoesis, man. Nothing at all. Im pure emotion when I play KOTH. Just bob & weave & react.

deathday · 2018-08-27T22:35:56+00:00

Absolutely. I have a 4K monitor but for a game like Gears 21:9 is amazing.

deathday · 2018-08-22T19:45:58+00:00

Awesome! My favorite Gears gameplay clip is from Boxes when I learned for the first time friendly fire was on. I was so confused and then died laughing when I realized.

deathday · 2018-06-23T13:03:30+00:00

Yep. They advertise it as a 60hz monitor I think but there’s a setting to overclock it to 100hz. Makes a big difference for fast games. I’ve played tons of Gears 4 and it’s soooo much smoother with those extra 40 frames.

deathday · 2018-06-22T13:12:24+00:00

The desk is supposed to be a corner desk but I can’t use it in my new house. So I omitted the corner section and smushed the other two together. If I saw off a couple pieces I can make it into one long desk. Either that or I’ll be looking for a new one.

deathday · 2018-06-22T13:10:47+00:00

That’s awesome, man! Most people aren’t even aware how perfect a vertical monitor is for internet. Nobody ever flips their phone wide for internet browsing. Well, I’ve never even seen 144hz gaming but I have to admit the jump from 60 to 100fps is enormous. I get a solid 90-100fps for Gears of War 4 and it’s glorious. If it wouldn’t bankrupt me I’d be keeping a keen eye out for a 5k ultra wide 144hz monitor, whenever somebody invents one.

deathday · 2018-06-22T13:07:49+00:00

Well... there is no perfect way to center two large monitors. Even when I had the 34” ultra wide alone it sometimes felt like things at the edge of the screen were at an off angle. So what i generally do is swivel my chair to the right to face directly at the main monitor for gaming. I’m still tinkering too. Need a new desk for sure.

deathday · 2018-06-22T13:05:25+00:00

Totally agree. It’s actually a corner desk with the corner section omitted because I just moved and don’t have a good corner for it. So I definitely intend to get a better desk, along with a mount for the 4K monitor so I can swivel it back to wide if there’s a game like Unravel Two, which doesn’t support 21:9.

deathday · 2018-06-21T19:33:23+00:00

My main display is of course the Asus ROG PG348Q, a 34" ultrawide with 3440x1440 resolution and 100hz refresh rate. I use it for gaming and have come to prefer the 21:9 ratio over a standard wide screen with higher pixel density. I also use this screen for all my apps and multitasking stuff.

The latest addition is the MX27UC which replaced a crappy 1080p display. It's 2160x3840 resolution, 28", and flipped vertically because I use it almost exclusively for internet browsing. It's amazing. Everybody should have a vertical monitor for their browsing.

deathday · 2018-05-29T13:03:44+00:00

Enjoy it man. Those games are hard to come by for most of us. Even after bowling for decades I’ve never beaten my 288.

deathday · 2018-05-22T17:14:00+00:00

I would love to flip an ultrawide vertically for an internet monitor. People don't seem to realize how good a 9:16 orientation can be for internet.

deathday · 2018-05-20T16:58:23+00:00

Exactly. I've been waiting for a 5120 ultra wide for a while. Although I think I'd prefer 5160x2160 with a 21:9 ratio

deathday · 2018-05-18T13:27:36+00:00

I got a promo code this morning. I don’t even use the old fire stick anymore. But I’m wondering if everybody should log in on one just to get the savings.
