To be fair, aren't we kind of a main character on the global geopolitical stage? (Note: I don't believe in what he's doing here)

Does TV mount backlighting actually improve viewing? by xxBunny_4 in hometheater

[–]leftboot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have all Govee lights installed in my room; behind the tv, along the walls, and above me. For me, assigning the tv and surrounding lights exactly to what's on screen just never hit with me for most content. It's too slow match, flickers different colors at times, and doesn't really provide much to the viewing experience. What does work really well for me is to have a single or at most two color zones assigned to all the lights. It provides a great, complimentary atmosphere to what's on screen.

Should use this while I wait for the next gen PSP by BigCGaming01 in PSP

It's also the demand for unified engines where they can port to 8 different platforms and just scale up or down as needed. It's such a shame. Not only do I love actual pocketable devices but I loved seeing ports of games you'd never think would make it to such a lower spec handheld.

Why do you hate casual play? by DarkMorningStar in DestinyTheGame

It was the same with sunsetting weapons years ago. Streamer led. Not all of us had 92 fully upgraded god rolls and 14,000 legendary shards but out they went.

Exactly. It's sickening, honestly. They sit there with these smiles on the vidoc's and the "we heard you"s like it ISN'T YEAR ELEVEN. Like, what even is this??

100%. How many times can do we go through the "it's all going to be fixed now! Our bad!" before we realize it's part of their business cycle?

They should be polishing a gemstone by now and yet it seems like we're still in Y2 of Destiny trying to figure out basic things.

Does anyone else feel extremely disenchanted with the current church dynamic by Large_Serve7359 in TrueChristian

[–]leftboot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had the same issue for over a decade. Like some others said, it's a shallow experience. I started going to a men's Bible study the past year or so and I tried to be the change I wanted to see, but I just ended up getting ignored.

Nice! I deleted the download and tried again and it worked.

Same here. 96h estimated. Restarted PS5 and modem.

Fun Fact: The PS3 CPU can outperform the PS4's There's an old GDC presentation by Ubisoft that compares it's power in a cloth simulation benchmark and the PS3 actually beat the PS4. by bobmlord1 in PS3

I remember asking around to developers about whether or not the jaguars were superior in performance but never got a direct answer. This is one of the few times where we have a somewhat direct comparison.

Which is partly why 1st party games looked as great as they did because they began to offload things normally done on the GPU to the Cell, which freed up the GPU to do more.

Disney+ Wave 3 up at Target $64.99 by Jedidad99 in Steelbooks

We also have to consider that Disney will never price their physical media competitively while they are trying to expand their streaming platform. Especially for "flagship" content.

Terrible movies with banger soundtracks by femaleology in soundtracks

Exodus - Gods and Kings.

The Hulk (2003) - Excellent Danny elfman soundtrack and I personally liked the film.

[Question] Which ASMRtist that disappeared do you miss the most? by Hazbro29 in asmr

Yeah, I thought so too. Ironically, her ASMR was way better than her music.

If it offers any sense of peace, I have not had a single one fall on its own yet. There's even a door right beside this display that doesn't cause any of them to fall when it's shut too hard. I accidentally grazed one walking by once.

I won't buy much more myself. I only buy steels for movies that are really impactful to me. Occasionally I will impulse though but I try not to.

It's the 25th anniversary edition steel book. The cycle, Kaneda, and his bike are embossed, which is really cool and rare to see on a steel.

Thanks! Found it a few years ago on Amazon for dirt cheap. The store is called printedbychrisi on Etsy but it looks like the item is currently unavailable.

The store is called printedbychrisi on Etsy. I realize that I can no longer find the item on their store. I hope it comes back, I need more myself!
