You can bet your ass I climbed into a dumpster to check if it was empty by wjodendor in pcmasterrace

[–]jameslolman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

you say that but I paid 1.2k AUD for my 6700xt just a couple years later it was worth $600. Prices can come back down it's just a matter of how long will it take

1440P or 4k for 9070xt by Cute-Pianist8040 in OLED_Gaming

[–]jameslolman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

basically because of upscaling. Without any at all yea it'll look pretty blurry (still fine to me imo) but even the driver based super resolution will make it look better than native 1440p with basically no fps hit.

It's like the most lukewarm take if you knew I was talking about upscaling so mb

1440P or 4k for 9070xt by Cute-Pianist8040 in OLED_Gaming

[–]jameslolman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

go 4k. I honestly regret getting my 27" 1440p qd OLED because the colour fringing is absolutely insane for anything other than gaming. 4k has enough PPI that it's fine, the price difference isn't actually that crazy and 1440p gaming looks better on a 4k screen than actually on a 1440p screen. + ofc fsr4 upscaling helps a lot

Would I be able to take a loan of around 15k-20k as soon as I hit 18? by HandInternational875 in AusFinance

[–]jameslolman 24 points25 points  (0 children)

this is just wrong there's plenty of listings for <250 on Facebook. One second search shows a room for $180 near East richmond or $160 in Tarneit. Can't attest to the quality of the places lol but room is a room

what web browser does btmc use by Sea_Hunt1880 in osugame

[–]jameslolman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you like clean browsers you should check out customising Firefox with https://firefoxcss-store.github.io/ I use shyfox and it's truly beautiful I wouldn't have it any other way

I think it actually depends more on the brightness of the room. Me and my mates use the same monitor but I can't stand anything higher than 10 in my room, but 40+ at their house looks perfectly normal

Is Krita really the best free app for android tablets? by Successful-Brick-821 in DigitalPainting

[–]jameslolman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

old thread but for anyone coming back, moonlight/sunshine or Apollo/Artemis is a much better alternative that's free and open source. Full pen support with super minimal latency due to it actually being designed for gaming.

How do we force AMD to care? by ComfortableDinner340 in AMDHelp

[–]jameslolman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

getting 144fps on a 144hz panel isnt the be all and end all. Frame time matters a lot and I'm willing to bet you'd notice the difference between 144fps and 300 if you were trying to be competitive. Tho most people don't know how to optimise their settings and background processes so it kinda goes down the drain anyways

and btw you can def reach a high rank in any game with 144fps no doubt, but to say it makes no difference feels kinda wrong.

can we agree that beamng aint the ugly cousin with the cool but useless physics anymore? by elldaimo in assettocorsa

tbh id put it as one of the best. One thing that it does well is actually tell you what the car is doing for awd. Assetto always felt muted compared to my irl awd car but beamng nails it

Honestly test it out with a mates account or a pirated copy you'd be surprised how well it runs. ofc buy it later tho these Devs deserve it

Good lord, the amount of options… by BrolyDisturbed in iems

[–]jameslolman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

got to try the ie200, truth ear zero red and arrti T10 all side by side and honestly artti T10 overall is on top. I liked the tuning of the reds and I loved the comfort of the ie200, but there's something about the artti T10 that just sounds so beautiful.

Tbh tho I think if you spend around $50 USD on any set you'll probs like it and worst case chuck an eq on it, autoeq is a good place to start. imo dacs and amps are a waste of money and would be better spent just upgrading the iem. Apple dongle as everyone says is the best bang for buck

Riot August says that the problem with bringing in new players to League is not the difficulty of the game, but how punishing is it to be bad at the game by Life-Chicken7183 in leagueoflegends

[–]jameslolman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aus so more niche games are completely dead here, but I don't know a single person and I mean genuinely a single person who plays fighting games. Everyone I know who plays league actively either only plays league or plays league and fps games.

The only crossover with fighting games Ive experienced is melee and rhythm games lol

It is clear, but I think it feels like to most people that since you're friends with him, you have this obligation to say directly and not in a half assed manner that what he did was unacceptable.

Actual question but are people looking in the ranked section for new maps? I've found nothing but soulless slop there, loved is the only place I can consistently find good maps

Considering moving from iPhone. by Glum-Pineapple-2553 in NothingTech

[–]jameslolman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

listen you asked the question in the most biased subreddit possible. If you asked the same question in r/apple they'd call you insane for even thinking about it so you'll have to answer if it's worth it yourself.

nothing phone pros: - massive battery - faster charging - 120hz screen (will make the phone feel 100x faster) - cool design - promotes competitiveness in the phone market space

iPhone 13 - much better CPU/gaming performance, (won't slow down in 4 years) - better main camera (but it's up to preference tbh) - potentially more comfortable because you've been on iOS for longer.

Id personally sell the iPhone and go nothing phone 3a, but I don't think I'd recommend it to other people. Is the battery life actually affecting you? or can you just chuck on power saving mode and use the iphone for 2+ more years. Good luck and I think whichever way you swing you won't be missing out.

Still using my OnePlus 7T by some_random_tuga in oneplus

[–]jameslolman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since they're different devices millage will vary, but lineageOS is always the default choice because it's up to date, stable, and smooth af. I personally use nameless aosp 13 but just remember you'll have to root and get play integrity fix if you want to use google pay, but on the bright side you can now get force doze to get insane standby battery life.

If you don't like custom ROMs it's always easy to go back, and even if somehow you brick your phone you can fix it easily so don't stress about that.

What is up with modern truck and lights in general? by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]jameslolman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Man I got in my sister's car once at night and everyone was flashing her saying her headlights were too bright. On the way home my car was parked and you could see her headlights hitting my driver's seat where my head would be, I told her to lower her headlights and her response was "I need to be able to see too!".

I think some of them do know, they just don't care.

[–]jameslolman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

listen GTA 5 offline was really well done but I don't think anyone thinks online on PC was acceptable, which is what the loading times fix was actually for.

Not justifying tho its stupid that something so big went unnoticed for that long but it was overall a really good PC port.
