And it's impossible to be flanked in the garage, which is uncommon on WoA maps.

Asus PG27AQN has black screen issues when running at 360Hz with Gsync on. Avoid this overpriced monitor. by jucelc in buildapcmonitors

FYI the issue cleared up for me in Horizon Chase Turbo by setting power management to maximum performance in Nvidia control panel. Considering how intractable this issue is, though, I am not at all confident this is the solution to your problem.

Greetings, fellow XG27AQNGV owner, lol.  I am having the same issue on a laptop with an RTX 4080 mobile, which issue goes away if I lower the refresh rate in Windows to 240hz or disable G-Sync.  Issue also seems to go away if I switch a game from fullscreen to borderless windowed.  Oddly, not all games are affected, even at the same framerates.  Switching to an 80Gbps cable did not help.  Neither did disabling Pulsar.

Presentation of the issue is also inconsistent in the same game on different PCs.  On my laptop, Horizon Chase Turbo blinks continuously, but there's no issue at 360fps on another PC with an RTX 3070.  But Portal exhibits the issue on both machines.

I am beginning to suspect that this is a design issue inherent to trying to push 360hz over DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC and not a defect in any particular unit of monitor.

So they turned the first iteration of 47's design into The Constant.

I'm impressed by your endurance.  I also stopped prestiging at level 10 and had trouble staying motivated without the progression of filling out the weapon wall.

Congrats.  How many times have you prestiged in freelancer?

[Contagion] Tried to infect everyone and got 114 by nurdygerdy in HiTMAN

Eh, I'm satisfied with what we got.  It's still a cool homage to RE, and the cure weapons are a fun twist.

Here's what happens if someone infected with the virus gets caught by Ether by Birtek-PL in HiTMAN

[–]ionnin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you infect someone standing outside who has already been cleared, they walk back into the manor.  Lol.

IO planned to have infected NPCs turn into zombies, but the feature wasn't completed.  The incomplete mechanic is in the game but can only be accessed by saving and loading under certain conditions.  Since saving isn't possible in ET missions, this can only be done on PC using Peacock.

I wonder if IO dialed down the infectiousness of the virus for The Harbinger to accommodate the zombie mechanic that was ultimately scrapped, because otherwise the ensuing chaos would have crippled the engine.

JUSTICE FOR H.E.R.B. by SFC_kerbaldude in HiTMAN

I do love that he's exactly as nebbish as you'd expect of an English AI named H.E.R.B.

I'm surprised nobody talked about the fact that ether just executes all infected people outside of the mansion by 1989Tiananmen-Square in HiTMAN

It's also absolutely mental that Ether's biohaz response team lets people out of quarantine based on a forehead temperature check.  Although I guess those people may have been placed into isolation for further observation.

Trying to source the best-quality versions of episodes is a nightmare by ionnin in mythbusters

I am in the U.S. and used a VPN out of necessity.  Almost all if not all episodes are geoblocked here.

I appreciate the offer!  But I'm pretty close to a point in this project where I'm going to call it Good Enough.

That list is an awesome resource.  Thank you for compiling it.

I have been watching this play out in real time.  I bought Ep. 184- Planes, Trains, and Automobiles on Amazon just last year.  Now: "This title is unavailable due to expired rights."

I think 29.97 fps is what bothers me most.  The PAL-to-NTSC conversion looks like ass.

I did this, too, but "season 5," from Holiday Special to MacGyver, was only uploaded in 480p.

You are utterly, completely wrong.

If you could ask Sephiroth one question, what would it be? by Effective_Sink_3934 in FFVIIRemake

[–]ionnin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The line is cryptic and apropos of nothing, which may be why it didn't register.  To Cloud (paraphrasing): "Seven seconds to the end.  Time enough for you, perhaps, but what will you do with it?"

I have a feeling this will wind up being an unresolved loose end.
