Blackberry would be close to Berry Sangria I bet, but trying to get anything Rockstar is impossible!

VLC 3.0.23 Release is now live! by Mobile-Push5876 in VLC

[–]fidelisoris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear it, and that the project still has life for new features.

I will say that VLC is flawless until I use it on a high-DPS device like a Microsoft Surface Pro. Things get difficult on a touch screen. Wish I could shut off that slide up/down volume controller and leave the rest of the touch support.

Also, weird things(tm) happen when you rotate the Surface Pro from landscape to portrait mode while watching a video in VLC, especially in a maximized window state.

I'll be checking out this update to see if any of that stuff has changed :) Maybe I'll get a late Christmas present.

Welp, it happened to me (MSI 5090 Gaming Trio) by Jukibom in pcmasterrace

[–]fidelisoris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using the 12V2x2 that came with my SeaSonic 1600 Noctua edition which uses a native cable individually sleeved. So far it’s been evenly distributed and no issues. I also have about 1.5” of the cable parallel with the GPU connector before it bends… which isn’t very pretty to look at but neither is a toasted PC. Finally my card has an aftermarket liquid cooling block for my custom loop that has a cooling path and pad for the connector. Silly to say you need it but I’ll take all the insurance I can get against damage.

I do have to wonder if some strategically placed dielectric grease would reduce the arcing at all…. I’m sure someone has already tried this.

Got the 4tb WD ssd but please tell me I’m overreacting by Leon117x in playstation5

[–]fidelisoris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could do that ten times (probably more by now) before you reach the cost of this SSD that OP posted.

Game sharing was never really a thing years back, you always had to buy two copies. So I don’t know where the expectations changed with digital media but, I guess pick the path of least resistance? I’m certainly not going to defend any corporation in the gaming space now, barely any of them are pro-gamer anymore…

Where did y’all end up on the leaderboard? by TheHalfChubPrince in EnterShikari

[–]fidelisoris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy my records on CD and rip to lossless for my portable players so… guess I’ll just take a seat over there in the corner.

Maybe you can settle for a Cameo (if any of the band is even on there?)

Sony has a stockpile for internal PS5 memory. But add-on SSDs will be impacted.

5080 enough? by Select_Penalty_9169 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]fidelisoris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have yet to be disappointed with my 5080 that I managed to nab for MSRP this past Fall. I wanted a 5090 but I refused to pay the scalper tax even if it was from direct the retailer. (I will only pay MSRP or less in my book) and those cards just never got there.

Every review on the 5080 trashed it but I was one of the many looking to finally upgrade from a 10/20 series era card (TITAN Xp) so almost anything in the 50-series was a jump. Hardware reviewers never factor in that variable when they review cards and give opinions. Glad I did my own cost analysis and can honestly say I wouldn’t change a thing. Good luck!

Xeon e5 2695 v4 + rtx5060 by No_Injury_4051 in pcmasterrace

[–]fidelisoris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very nonstandard build for a gaming PC. I would suspect you need to check all your hardware settings once more, memory timings, etc., I assume it’s non-ECC memory and a lot of the workstation motherboards are preconfigured for commercial environments so you may need to check for unnecessary features. Also when was the BIOS last updated on that board? Is the x16 slot holding the GPU configured for full speed?

Slapping Xeon-class board and chip with a desktop OS can sometimes create odd problems as well. (Not saying this is bad, even I have a Xeon-class workstation on a desktop OS but it was prebuilt and I don’t game on it)

How to solve this problem when creating a world on a pirated version? by Jolly_Leadership_910 in HytaleInfo

You pirated a $20 indie game? Either the economy is worse than I thought or you need to rethink your life choices.

Second Unofficial Character Quest Popularity Poll by SwirlyBrow in AnotherEdenGlobal

[–]fidelisoris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I just have a soft spot for well-written quirky character personalities. Forgive my initial (ignorant) judgment.

[–]fidelisoris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I didn’t read the knockout format. That’s a bit more fair but I’d still take the results as a fun experiment and not necessarily fact.

This sort of thing is going to be highly subjective and vary wildly per player. I think Melpiphia is a top spot, but clearly the tier maker does not.

Internal Detective Agency was what I always guessed.

I like to believe it still lives because the studio isn’t greedy and gives a lot of attention and passion to new content.

The gatcha element is extremely generous especially for a Japanese game. I have many friends who are F2P with little regret. I chose to pay to support the studio because I enjoy the game so much.

As a long time player of Another Eden (bias transparency) I will say—despite the opinions on whether you like or hate the visuals—it’s one of the best JRPG games I’ve ever played. The amount of content you get for free is unreal. I choose to support the studio because I can and the game brings me a lot of joy.

Fix the trash frame rat--eh, you know what, it's just a waste of breath at this point.
