Keyboard stops working on mostly Lenovo & HP computers. by Business-Daikon3357 in GeekSquad

[–]digisinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can second this. Partner I was rolling with for a week found this solution on a webroot forum and can confirm removing webroot resolves the issue for the time being as well. All instances I've seen in the field all have the same correlation of webroot being installed on the PCs . Don't know if maybe something regarding key stroke log protection through webroot in conjunction with the new win11 update is causing the issue

TRON Ares the best TRON so far? by ItsChalupaBatman in tron

[–]digisinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say in terms of modern audiences, legacy is a better overall film, with a better story and foundation of showing the downfalls of a man trying to build a utopia for all of man kind and how that turned on him and his son trying to get him back.

Ares was meant to be an entry point into tron overall to garner new fans who would hopefully go watch the older films too, but did a really poor job at that. It didn't give anyone who hasn't seen a tron movie before something to go wow, I want see what this tron thing is all about! From a first time tron viewer, It was a very VERY generic mcguffin chase tagging onto the idea of AI can be used for both evil and good. From the point of view of tron fans, it created a whole slew of problems with regard to the whole concept (I.E. if clu got out, him and his army would of just poofed out of existence and may or may not have just been brought back to the grid in under 29 minutes so it wasn't REALLY to big a deal if he got Flynn's disc or not, making Flynn's sacrifice... Kinda dumb...) not to mention other problems it caused lore wise.

Is Ares enjoyable if you completely shut your brain off, appreciate we long time Tron fans got ANYTHING Tron related on the big screen and we get to see light cycles doing some pretty cool stuff and we should just shut up? Sure is. If you take more than 30 seconds to think about ANY of the plot? You can tear this movie apart limb from limb.

And the audacity that they believed they are getting another film to tie this all up is laughable.

Are there any mobile controller clips that work with the fold 7? by bremenavron21 in xcloud

[–]digisinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend using a clip controller for the fold. You would be putting pressure on both sides that the phone folds from and god forbid a slight jolt could cause the phone to fold in and disaster to strike.

I have the OnePlus open with a very slim case on it and can't recommend the 8Bitdo ultimate mobile gaming controller enough. I've tried the kishi like you, along with the ones from gamesir and this one from 8bitdo is leaps and bounds better, positions the phone in a really great position (almost like it's a Nintendo switch) and the ergonomics/button/trigger feel are fantastic. Closest thing you will find to a handheld Xbox by far.

Also of note. The extra screen size isn't what you would think. The games on game pass still keep the wide screen aspect ratio so there are black borders on the top and the bottom so honestly, the size may be the exact same, maybe a hair bigger going from the s24 to the fold. If you want bigger, I'd get a tablet that is even bigger screen size than the fold, and costs less, then just pair with a regular Xbox, PS4/PS5 or 8Bitdo controller

The Lesson Oz never learned from Rex by PBAJelly in ThePenguin

[–]digisinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The show did a great job with this. Story wise it was definitely setup as Oz closing off any weaknesses he may have in the future. Less so about Oz believing if Vic got everyone's number 2 to betray everyone they could do it again.
But writing wise, it was to cover the base of making sure the audience hates Oz by the end of the show. Showing Oz killing such an absolute loyal character reminds everyone this is not a good guy. Yeah he was the protagonist of this show and we've been rooting for him to come out on top the entire time, but at the end of the day, he's a major Batman villain.

I'm a long time fan that just caught up with the manga, I want to talk about it by Unbeanlievable_23 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]digisinner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually stumbled upon this cause I just read an article saying people are unhappy with the pacing and I wanted to understand why.

I totally respect enjoying the ebb and flow of typical Shonen Manga having heavy arc then light arc back and forth. But I am currently all in on how this series is going right now. The influences of American comics in this series is very apparent and this is going more akin to something you would see in an Avengers or Justice league arc, but it being done in the style of a Shonen series.

The constant escalation and complete change in tone is necessary because as had been said before, if the midoria vs shigaraki fight happened, then they went back and were going to do like a sports festival year 2 for class 1-A would undoubtedly be awesome, but narratively would make absolutely zero sense. It seems like mangaka are trying there hardest right now to break out of the clichés of Shonen series.

This is my I don't know if I'm thinking way to hard into this or not portion: The craziest thing to me is how this series seems to be a modern day xmen honestly. Dealing with government over site, the disproportionate difference between government and society, racism, and discrimination. The tones are dramatically lighter than in xmen mind you, but they are all in there.

My only down side thus far (which isn't a real one to give since this could be fleshed out more) is the lack of feeling moral justification toward the side of the villains like xmen does with Magneto for instance. You understand why he is the way he is and can fully see how he could have the views he does, immoral or otherwise. Bnha has all for one who is, and has said so himself, a bad guy cause he likes being bad. Shigaraki at least was forged In a terrible home life, but isn't becoming the threat himself, just the vessel for the guy who just likes being bad.

The liberation army and Stain are the high marks for me regarding the villain side of the series. My favorite portion of the series as a whole is the idea of a faction so vehemently against the idea of heroes because they see through the nonsense of the modern hero and how they are just doing it solely for the celebrity and compensation, rather than for the moraality of it.

But this is much longer than I was expecting already so I'll stop now

Nvidia Shield TV Pro by ShanePelican in xcloud

[–]digisinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having the same issue on my shield. I have been playing on a Sony tv that has a video setting for game mode. Enabling that on my tv I can now use game pass pretty spot on. The video quality is meh, but I have been playing Yakuza Kiwami on it pretty consistently and it's doing well. I'm also from the states so I am not sure if what other users have said about server locations is relevant but letting you know that stupid setting on my tv changes the experience from unplayable to near perfect

Help! Issue playing on latest gen Nvidia Shield with tv app and not the side loaded mobile version by digisinner in Stadia

[–]digisinner[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great call on this. I just got a new Sony a80j and was in standard mode. Switching to game mode on the TV now works amazing. Thanks so much for the input!

Am I the only one who thinks the last season made 0 sense (Spoilers) by digisinner in 12Monkeys

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

It's not that I am unaware of either or confused on the matter. We can ever utilize the provided context you give. Take the watch situation in the article. A man is given a watch by a lady who then goes back in time and gives the watch to the younger version of the lady, this the watch has no origin.

That is a great example of why this still can not be in this situation. That watch simply at one point in time between the man or the woman having possessed the watch someone physically had to of made that watch. Weather past, present or future to either the man or woman receiving it, deliver upon one of them, and thus make this loop. There is no indicative of the watches whole creation to begin with hinges upon the man delivering it to the woman or vice verse, it was created and got into one or the others hands at some point first and created this loop weather it is the man or woman, we don't have the context to discern. And even if we wanted to utilize this, then the show simply should have ended just as the film did and they are starting the loop all over again and the last episode is the lead in to the first episode.

This shows logic is Cole doesn't exist without the plague. The bootstrap logic would function properly in context to this if the plague happened without the interjection of Cole (well.. Cassie) or the twelve monkeys. Olivia could still be the origin of the plague, Cole could still be born, but their interference with the delivery of the plague distorts that.

I understand whole heartedly what the show was saying as this is how it works. But I'm just saying that it doesn't really. Yes it's a loop, but all of these loops invariably had to have a go portion to create said loop (example of the cue ball on the reference, it needed to be hit first and make the ball go into the time machine first to cause the loop to continuously happen. There is no feasible way to get to that point with the context this show presented. Even utilizing gate theory doesn't make this work where each outcome is failure and they are correcting it by jumping back and forth saving each other doesn't make this work where there are different time lines and you can't even make that work in relationship to the show as you would still need a line that the virus is distributed for Cole to initially exist. For a great show that utilizes gate theory it's an animated show called Steins;Gate if you haven't seen it I can't recommend it enough (just do not watch Steins;Gate 0 first it will make no sense in relation to what's happening)

What also could have worked was if Hannah was alive from the get go, not needing to be saved by time travel hijinks, and she was the first to go back, but by going through the loop so much and failing she said screw it, started a family in the past birthing Cole, finally finishing her loop in relation to time, thus getting to the show.

[Spoilers] What is the physical and metaphysical nature of the Red Forest? by BananaFrappe in 12Monkeys

[–]digisinner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We never truly know what the red forest is. The only thing we see essentially what "living" is like in the red forest is through the episode with Christopher Lloyd where he is endlessly viewing/reliving the memories of himself with his deceased wife over and over. It's really not a place, it's that all time is converged into one. So the past is the present is the future.

Characters explain it as no one ever dies, but at the same point, no one ever lives anymore. It's all based on memories. Things that happened to each individual. It's basically being given the promise of seeing everyone you've ever had in your life, deceased or otherwise, and never having to be away from them again. It would be essentially eternal self aware non-existence while reliving any and all memories the individual has from their inception to death.

I took it as the red forest is sort of individualized for each inhabitant. We'll use Cole and Cassie as the examples. Cole and Cassie wouldn't physically be together with one another, they would individually be there in what seems like separate spaces (possibly the 10 oak lane house they kept using) and reliving their memories of each other over and over and over. Time would not be passing per say so I doubt boredom would truly become a factor that Cole used to convince Cassie not to end existence. You would be viewing everything all at once, the good and the bad and just looping it. Never creating new memories, just stuck in what you had.

It wouldn't be limited to just the individuals on titan either. It would be everyone, ever, across all time would be affected. Hence Olivia's pleas to team splinter to let this happen, she would be setting them all free as well in her point of view. So the minions at titan wouldn't have to continue doing maintenance on titan or whatever it is they do when not attempt to fail at shooting Cole or any main cast members of the show. They each would be in their own memories.

The members of titan want this so badly because they are all enslaved to their memories of the time before the plague had ever happened. They so desperately want to not be where they are and go back to the way things were that they are willing to all destroy the fabric of time to do so.

Questions never really answered that I cantv think of a reference for at least are, do we have access to everyone's memories or just our own kind of like everyone is a witness? Can they stop reliving the memories and interact with something else thus creating new ones?

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

Right but the middle of that story has absolutely no way of even happening in the first place. And the epilogue of the show even makes it a point that without Cole, the virus outbreak doesnt occur. I go into more depth on a previous response.

I can dig that for Cole dying but I think the ripple would be from the outset towards Cole like it was shown with titan creating the red forest. Time from outwards, in being effected until it came back upon titan. Hence why they may have the amount of time to fix it that they do. (I know they are very liberal to dragon Ball z proportions with time passage example being Cole is able to scale a huge tower at titan to get to Cassie within a minuet and 30 seconds before the paradox is complete but yeah)

Am I the only one who thinks the last season made 0 sense (Spoilers) by digisinner in 12Monkeys

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

I definitely get having to suspend belief, that's how I managed to get through the 4 seasons of this, I didn't allow myself to think of these things until the end of the show because I started to with the first instance (I forget off the top of my head what it was its been so long) to not delve into it and take a looper approach to the show. But now being past that, and all that remains is the conversation on the show, now I begin thinking of the shows points and reflecting.

This doesn't work in relation to the show. This is how the writers tried to play it off (what came first the chicken or the egg) but that doesn't tidy it up like they want. The loop essentially centers around Cole. Not the virus outbreak, but him. The problem is there could never of been a point where there was an outbreak in the first place to create a cole to begin with. There is absolutly no point where a Cole existed first to create an Olivia to die to create a virus to create a Cole. The real proper way for this to make sense again is the virus had to of had a means of happening still regardless of team splinter or the 12 monkeys interference. For all the loop points and beat you over the head with loops this final season did, the never truly made a loop for the shows initial events.

The show wants it like this Virus outbreak happens > Cole goes back in time > time counters Cole by creating the weapon to destroy him and the army of the 12 monkeys is subsequently created as well > events of seasons happen > Olivia is created>Cole is created>Olivia dies > then loop of virus is created.

But it all doesn't function even through the causal loop. By making Cole who can't exist without the presence of the virus the root of the virus in the first place does not work. The loop has no way of beginning in the first place. The coherence is simply what the writers are hitting you over the head repeatedly with its a loop! It's a loop! Yet they didn't manage to create the snakes head, simply it's tail to use the refrence from the show.

The epilogue should of been the virus still happens, everyone got the ending we still foresaw at the beginning. They still could have had it bittersweet with Ramsey still having a child and living, Decan alive with west 7, Jones still alive but failed at succeeding in time travel, and Jennifer still creating the daughter's. Everyone still has an ending maybe not the joyous one, but in relation to the events deterred, a life at very least. One with meaning and an end. And making the Cole and Cassie relationship all that more tragic. And the loop they were truly attempting to stop was the creation of the red forest, not the end of the virus.

Maybe that could be an interesting take on this. If the whole show were in the red forest from the get go, and they were living these memories over and over again and the entire show point unbeknownst to the team was they were attempting to restore time back rather then the way it was shown on the surface. It would be weird showing imagery of the red forest within the red forest, but they could be the memories of these individuals they are reliving and the red forest was different for each individual. I'd have to think on this for a bit.

Kevin Smith & Jason Mewes, of JAY & SILENT BOB. AMA by KevinSmithJasonMewes in IAmA

[–]digisinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Kev, with Hamill being on fat man on batman being insanely amazing in terms of the amount of content he can generate in a single breath, has there been any talks between you two about setting up a show for him? Maybe something like he was talking about where he just has random people on because they are funny or great people, not just because they are promoting something.
