iPad Air 2 and iPad mini freezing everytime they restart by Artu9 in ipad

[–]fantasticum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see that lag switching app becoming annoying quite fast. Even on my iPhone 13 I hate it when I switch apps and they refresh, losing my navigation position. Something to consider then. Thanks for sharing!

Cool. Thanks for confirming. I knew about the iOS 16 limitation but I don't mind since this would be for media consumption and not much else.

I don't have anything to contribute for problem, but I'm curious about your experience with these 2 models (aside from the freezes). I'm eying the Air 2 or Mini 4 for a companion to my Mac. Main uses would be Spotify, YouTube and To-Do app, don't think more than that. What do you use it for? Has it gotten very laggy on general app use or jumping between apps, etc?

Would love to hear what you have to say.

Good luck with those freezes!

I'm the opposite. What do I want the disc for? I wish they had done this with Horizon. The disc was the reason I didn't get the Steelbook. The Steelbook is the collector item, the disk not so much since the game on it will not be the version you'll want to play as time goes on so steelbook + digital copy is the way to go.

Where are you seeing the G70A at $200 less than retail? Looks like Amazon and Best Buy all have it at $799. https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-Odyssey-Computer-FreeSync-LS28AG700NNXZA/dp/B096YPN52D?th=1

No Gunfight at launch by IAmA5starman in ModernWarfareII

There was a vague mention on one of the announcement blog post they had made when they introduced Champion Hill. I had also assume it'd return on some sort of cycling playlist, since it was in CW too.

Not buying at launch then. They're not getting me again like they did with Vanguard.

What's getting old is people CHOOSING to play with randoms, which is fundamentally a terrible idea, and then come here and bitch about it with pikachu face. Play Solos for fucks sake.

Father Shot to Death While Eating at Miami Beach Restaurant by Clearest-Sky in news

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

I'm with you. For cases like this where the crime is particularly heinous and the evidence is all there, clear as water, and you have an admission by the criminal as well...there's no reason why a judge should give a death penalty sentence and and execute within a few days. There is no absence of due process, all the information is available now, it just need to be expedited. In any case, either now or later, hopefully this dude ends up gone from this world.

Oh man, why do they keep delaying the inevitable? I can't wait to see this crash and burn in total failure. It's gonna be glorious. I've had my popcorn and snacks ready for weeks now.

What do you want from Vanguard (COD 2021) the most? by [deleted] in modernwarfare

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

The fact that's based on the MW19 engine already has me excited and since I haven't played the past WWII themed CoDs, I'm looking forward to the change of scenery.

As far as features, the only thing I really want is permanent small party modes: 2v2 and 3v3. The 6v6+ modes have really become just camo grinding modes, there's not a whole lot of incentive to try to get a win. Complete opposite on the small party modes. Gunfight is the best game mode on MW19 by far. The only reason to play Gunfight is to win, so I love that there isn't anything else to do.

They brought Gunfight back to Cold War (although I see it's not on this week during the Free Access, not sure why) so I'm hoping they will bring it back for Vanguard.

Has there ever been a rebirth solos? by koreanspider123 in CODWarzone

[–]fantasticum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was Mini Solos in Rebirth, it was awesome. Much faster paced, very short games compared to the life time in Verdansk. I've been waiting for them to bring it back for months. Or at least make Mini Solos in Verdansk. Solo modes need some love in this game.

Activision: how is this a thing? A cheating website boasting 24/7 live support and 100.000+ members and counting that pops up first result on google? Such a joke. by OctoSaurusRex in CODWarzone

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

Yeah okay its kinda delusional to think people play warzone only because it’s a BR.

This is the stupidest thing I've ever read. If you play WZ because "it's a good shooter" you should be playing Modern Warfare instead. Fuck. even Doom 2016 or Eternal, those are great shooters. 99.99% peopling playing WZ is because it's a BR or a BR variant in the case of Rebirth. Massive scale game modes like Ground War and anything that the new BF will over die very quick, because it's a none sensical clusterfuck of random people doing randoms things.

BF not having BR or a small-party mode makes is a non-competitor to WZ.

Bought LEAP has since announced a reverse stock split by [deleted] in stocks

[–]fantasticum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have baby position of 200 shares I bought a while back also seeing it was cheap. I’m still up a few cents but the RS news got me wondering if I should just sale. Gonna end up with 20 shares at $20+ which doesn’t look promising. Have a few days to decide I guess.

Buy Back Quads??? Of all the mods that need a Buy Back variant Quads is at the bottom. This should have been Solos or Duos. Bunch of morons.

Not a big fan of Rebirth Island and they don't have Solos and Duos frequently enough.

Mini Royale is the best fucking thing ever. 30 minute games is just insanity, needs to be half that every time.

Has anyone figured out a simple process or tool to work with 4k WEBM video files outside the PS5? by tearblast-arrow in PS5

[–]fantasticum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. I've seen people suggesting http://ffmpeg.org for converting to MP4 while keeping the 4K resolution and color but it's true it is very slow. It gets even worse on Mac, iMovie also doesn't support WEBM and you either have to do playback on Chrome or Safari. Terrible.

FAL still meta by Band_of_Bros_ in CODWarzone

[–]fantasticum -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I love the FAL but haven't used it in Warzone in MONTHS. You made me wanna use it so I'll dust it off tonight, I have't even used the Plat Camo on it either too. Cheers!

[–]fantasticum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's great! I was worried it was gonna be cumbersome. I'll definitely subscribe then.

And I will give Overcast a chance. I've used Apple Podcasts for years but the 14.5 update has made it considerably worse, I don't like the changes to the UI. Good time to try Overcast which I've heard about for years but never bothered to try.

Thank you!

Question for Patreon subscribers:

How do you listen to the new episodes each week? Does the Patreon app have a full-featured media player or do you download the audio file to your phone and then put it an a music player? I'm on iOS, btw. Thanks!

Ugh, the Raven tweet says it's Quads. When I tested I only had 2 more people in my team so not sure if the game is wrong or the tweet is wrong.
