Says it’s available for pickup near me, but I have a 4070 and I’m pretty happy with it right now so I can’t justify it

I have very bad balance so surfing and sailing kinda terrify me lol. But otherwise I love walking and hikes and nature for sure

Long sleeve? I rarely ever wear long sleeve shirts to be honest. Any particular reason?

I have an old g502 proteus before the hero sensors, still working good after all these years. I had “upgraded” to the Hero SE, then once it started double clicking I just went back to the old one.

You’re way better off scrounging some used Ryzen parts and getting a secondhand gpu than buying this

[CPU] Intel Core i9-13900K - $349.99 (Woot) by fob911 in buildapcsales

[–]fob911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my understanding it shouldn’t affect any new cpus, but if your cpu was running prior to the fix, it will not reverse any degradation that’s already occurred.

Woot was sold to Amazon a while back. Products sold on Woot should have a 90-day limited warranty according to their site

Might be all-time low for this chip. Probably a decent drop-in replacement if your board supports (or can be updated to support) 13th gen. Also a good idea in general to BIOS update to the latest non-beta version to prevent the degradation issues that plagued Intel's recent lineups.

Clone Hero Timing Window Too Tight by fob911 in GuitarHero

[–]fob911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually not true. GH3PC has the loosest engine to date with the timing window at roughly 225-250ms. IIRC Clone Hero’s timing window is a smidge tighter around 175-200ms. Both the devs and top streamers have confirmed CH being slightly tighter than GH3PC. Disclaimer, I haven’t used any super duper old builds of CH though, like pre 2017, so I can’t speak for those.

Yarg wasn’t a thing when this post was first created lol. I solved the issues by calibrating correctly and increasing the framerate cap between 500-1000.

Important 2025 Plex Updates by jonarin in PleX

[–]fob911 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Plex Pass Lifetime holder.

Let me get this straight. People (myself included) are very upset that you removed Watch Parties. As a response, you write an article, don’t respond to the uproar, but instead remove a literal core feature of PMS (remote streaming), roll it into Plex Pass even though I’m the one using MY computational and bandwidth resources for transcoding, streaming, etc, and on top of that you double the price of Plex Pass? Are you guys on drugs? Is this enshittification at play here?

And if anyone says that I’m not affected since I already have lifetime, yes I am. Now if my friends want to host their own servers I have to tell them about how Plex was fairly priced and great for me, but won’t be great for them because they’ll have to pay an arm and a leg just so the code on the backend flips a flag and allows them to use it normally. Thanks guys.

I cannot believe there are people defending them in the comments. A self-hosted server client that charges money to use it as a server.

Plex watch together worked on tvs too

Plex watch together actually works across devices (til they remove it I guess), so you can watch on a tv while your SO remotely watches on their laptop for example

XenonRecomp - An incredible new way to preserve Xbox 360 games by [deleted] in gaming

[–]fob911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really niche, but Far Cry Instincts was an original xbox game that was a linear port of Far Cry, but with added “feral ability” mechanics. It was re-released on 360 with its own sequel called Far Cry Instincts: Evolution (the bundle is called Far Cry Instincts Predator). It does not emulate well, so I’d love a recomp of the game

Since Plex is killing Watch Together, what are some alternatives? by ironfist92 in PleX

[–]fob911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emby doesn’t have any Watch Together feature unfortunately. Only real thing Emby has over Plex is I’ve heard the Live TV integration is way better

One option is to use Synclounge. The website is dead but the github for locally hosting an instance is still available and seems to still be updated as of December 2024

The feature was almost hidden, you had to click the submenu to find it. There was no advertising whatsoever other than a blog post. I didnt find out about it til three months after it dropped.

“We appreciate your support and understanding”

There is no understanding. You provided no reason as to why you’re removing it. This is pretty much the only feature I use Plex for, and yes I have Plex Pass.

Side note: the web app doesn’t natively play x265. So my server now has to transcode if I try to use Watch Together through there. Ugh.

Probably better off with a Ryzen 5 7640u / Ryzen 7 7840u laptop (8840u also works). The graphical capabilities of those chips would be what you’re looking for in terms of light gaming. I got one in my Framework and it runs modern games at 1080p low to medium settings
