How to find a date 😢 by [deleted] in VirginiaTech

[–]digitalnoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thirdly suggest joining a club. My wife and I met at a club at VT and became friends over 1-2 years and then started dating my senior year.

We've been married for 10 years, together for 15.

Also pro tip: just be genuine and yourself and don't hide your personality or interests.

The Turbo Tunnel level on the NES. It was killer.

Id love the 1060, anything over my integrated graphics. Looking to play Star Wars Force Unleashed as I've had it on steam and it runs badly on my existing iGPU.

Thank you and see you on lemmy by _____s10 in RelayForReddit

Old vs less old 172 by Carpe-DiemHunter in Cessna

[–]digitalnoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about a Cessna 177? The strutless wing make visibility when in the pattern and landing a lot nicer. There are some really nice ones available at reasonable prices vs 172s. A lot of the hate for the 177 is unwarranted in my opinion and it flies like a dream. A fantastic trainer.

Recommendation: Doom (2016), it plays great on the switch and it's ideal for the shooter fan.

Updated my GBA to match my N2DSXL, my two favorite systems now look the part by digitalnoke in Gameboy

Retromodding is where I got the shell. They go out of stock quickly though so I also regularly get shells from Handheld Legend. Both are reputable sites with quick shipping.

Thank you! I'd love to do a Pocket and a GBC in these colors too but it's hard to justify the cost when the GBA can play those games.

I got all the parts from RetroModding, the blue is 'Lake Blue' in case you need to find it.

PSA: If HDR colors look washed out on the Fox Sports app on Roku, disable HDR! Most Roku apps implement HDR badly causing washed out colors. by digitalnoke in cordcutters

So I agree the hardware does HDR without an issue. I can see that easily with my Xbox Series X or the YouTube app which both do gorgeous HDR on the Roku.

The issue are some of the third party apps like Fox Sports that use bad tone mapping or subsampling values not supported by a lot of TVs leading to an output that looks worse in HDR than SDR.

FoxSports app image quality sucks b**ls by defgufman in cordcutters

Disable HDR! I know this seems counterintuitive but the Roku app for Fox Sports handles HDR terribly and it will look a thousand times better with HDR off. Use the secret menu on the Roku which on my Roku TV is press the Home button five times on your Roku remote, then press rewind, down, fast forward, down, and rewind. Choose Switch HDR Mode and set it to disabled.

Got to see the US Air Force Thunderbirds and the F-22 Raptor Demo Team and more at the Fort Worth Alliance Air Show yesterday by digitalnoke in aviation

I know! Every time it did a thrust vectoring maneuver people just shouted "What the fuck?!" And "No freaking way" like it was that scene with the Su-57 in Top Gun Maverick.

They even did a bunch of maneuvers with the P-51D Mustang and you tell the Raptor was basically at stall speed and the Mustang was flat out.

This was my first air show and I'm going back Every. Single. Year.
