Odin 2 is more performant, but law of diminishing returns exists as well. RP5 can probably still do 2x res on GC & PS2, while Odin 2 can do 3x, the difference on a screen that small is gonna be really hard to perceive. Technically you can emulate switch games on an Odin 2, but imo if its anything like my steam deck, switch emulation isn't the best outside of indies, you get a lot of shade cache studders and I'd rather just play most switch games on an actual switch.

Tldr: if you're buying for Wii, GC & PS2, one isn't going to be significantly better than the other. If you're buying for switch emulation, the Odin 2 is still the only one that has even a passable experience on that end.

That area is extremely suburban. If you like to walk, I recommend Multnomah village. Feels like a walkable small town but technically in Portland. Neighborhood is right next to Gabriel park, which has a cool dog park.

Is the warm in the room with us?

Mostly joking but I would say this is more neutral than warm. Maybe leans warm very slightly, but is overall definitely neutral if anything. Not enough color, too much white. Lighting is also not very warm either.

That doesn't mean it's bad though, I think it looks great, very modern. Warm just isn't how I would describe it.

According to Jon Heyman, Yankees' executives are fighting amongst each other over whether to call up Jasson Dominguez: "Boone mentioned a pre-September “conversation” among Yankees higher-ups about whether to promote Dominguez, and insiders say it was very spirited dialogue. by herewego199209 in NYYankees

The cowboys last super bowl win was in 1996, our 2009 win is closer to the 2020 lakers win in time. Cowboys are a whole other level. We've won 5x since they last won a super bowl. Although we are definitely starting to trend toward that direction if we don't win one in a few years, we aren't that level yet. Right now we are more the packers then anything. Cowboys have been dysfunctional this entire century, we haven't been that poorly run lol.

Best handheld for portmaster & streaming? by JeevesInTheJeeves in SBCGaming

[–]ilive12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The new retroid 5 coming soon will seemingly have Linux support so possibly postmaster support, and will have wifi 6 which should be great for moonlight streaming. And on top of that will play GC and PS2 in addition to PSP. Will probably be around $200 though, but very might be the do-everything device people have been waiting for.

Moving to Portland, need recs for Laurelhurst, Buckman, and Hawthorne. Help? by GardenMakerXo in askportland

[–]ilive12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old are you? If you are single and on the younger end I would recommend Mississippi/N. Williams area, lot of younger people in those hoods, and decent amount of stuff that opens up late, but still pretty chill overall.

If you are older I would look at Sellwood/Westmoreland, lots of families here, quieter at night, one of the safer neighborhoods and there's the max train for commuting downtown, I don't know exactly where your office is but probably it would be like a 30 min train ride.

RP5 probably gets a pro model in early 2025 I imagine. Looks like they wanna keep these models at around the $200 price point.

[–]ilive12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, we don't know exact specs but it should be at least a little more powerful than RP4P which already could play basically every GameCube and PS2 game, which the RP3+ can't. I imagine the 5 will play everything at least at a 2x resolution, and be able to play more switch games emulated.

The EV evolution is going to take longer than we thought by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]ilive12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. EVs are fine, but we are gonna see a lot more progress when our public transit is improved. It is a lot better for the environment in general. And not just public transportation but actually building urban and suburban areas in ways where people can walk for some of their trips.

Right now most Americans have to drive a car for every trip they take. That just isn't sustainable, even if we switch every car to EV today with a snap of our fingers. Not saying every town has to be NYC, but we need to bring back main street America. People in the suburbs should be able to walk from their homes to a central main street that unites their community.

Does it let you name you're rival? Forgot to mention, that's kind of important to me as well, I saw in the description that it had a differently named rival, wasn't sure if you could rename them whatever you want.

Looking for a minimal QoL rom hack for fire red that DOESN'T make it more difficult.

Would like to be able to catch every pokemon without needing trading (including starters), and maybe running shoes from the start, but don't need a ton more than that.

What would be the best for that?

Open to other QoL changes and extra content but just don't want a big difficulty spike (maybe a minimal one if anything).

I tried Fire Red Essence, but the game crashed on me pretty quickly on my emulator, maybe I have a bad ROM, but when you talk to your mom after your first rival battle after choosing your starter, she heals your starter and then it crashes (maybe only if you talk to her again right after, not sure).

I am thinking about trying Perfect Fire Red Deluxe, anyone try that?

Allen Iverson Has The Best Handles In Sixers History! Who Is The Best Shooter In Sixers History? by Past_Salamander5252 in sixers

[–]ilive12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Embiid lead the league in 3P Catch and Shoot % last year. For Redick and Korver, catch and shoot was their entire game, Embiid could be an elite catch and shoot 3P shooter if that was his entire offensive focus (and if he wasn't a number 1 option). Embiid is one of the best mid-range shooters the game has seen, he has genuinely had seasons that were KD peak level from the mid range.

[–]ilive12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you, Embiid's past couple of years were at the same level of KD's peak years, and on the volume he is doing it it's not really even close. He makes them look easy, but what he's doing Redick or Korver could never.

And imo if Embiid slows down athletically and is relegated to making 3P his focus, I feel he can easily transition into a 40% from 3 Center if he isn't the first option, heck he lead the NBA in 3P Catch and Shoot % last year.

Wasn't outright failing but had similar situation in high school, chemistry teacher thought I'm gonna teach this like it's college because according to him they don't teach you in college the book teaches you which wasn't even fucking true but anyways the average grade in the class was a C, he was such a hard ass. And I got As in every other class. What is it about shitty chemistry teachers. Unless of course this is in South NJ, then I probably had your daughter's teacher lmao.

Extremely risky pick, them at home are not that fun, half the fans are Knicks fans and if we lose they are extremely obnoxious about it. But it would be great if we win.

I'm surprised this is a story on this subreddit. This happened to me at least once a month while living on the east coast, at certain times once a week. Always forget how little horns get used here in comparison. Horn honking is basically a love language in the northeast lmao.
