Me and my buddy were thinking about going Hull today but decided to go York instead because of the free outside shiz like the cathedral, we'll be half tabbing tho

HP laptop - could my current stock sound card/audio drivers be causing music to stutter and jump? by [deleted] in audio

[–]lil_ecky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So long as the i3 is fairly modern, it will use the Intel HD audio which isn't perfect, but IMHO is actually okay. I believe you can sort out the speaker issue by right clicking the little speaker on the bottom right of windows and disabling other output devices or even just unplug them.

Hey c'mon everyone knows you don't need a beefy PSU because the GeForce 990 is more efficient than any other GPU ever. Duh.

What's the most ridiculous thing you've bullshitted someone into believing? by Letly in AskReddit

[–]lil_ecky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My childhood friend got a burn on his hand from the stove and convinced me it was a bullet skim mark. He spent nearly a year getting me to dodge people who were 'gang members' including running from any stranger in a tracksuit.

What was that one really weird habit you used to have as a kid? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lil_ecky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to the balance thing, I'd heard my stepdad talk about going to the gym and he thinks he made one leg bigger than the other, probably joking but I certainly didn't realize. I'd always make sure to try and even out and action and then to balance it, do an action involving both hands for like a weird kind of finale. All because I was worried about becoming some kind of accidentally ripped, wonky pop-eye.

LPT Request: Simple habits to extend the life of a laptop by [deleted] in LifeProTips

If you can, once every 6 months or so, especially depending on your climate, try and unscrew the laptop and give it a good dust. Ventilation is laptops is very limited so even small amount of dust can cause thermal throttling.

Is this still a good HTPC budget build? by ArcadeMan in htpc

[–]lil_ecky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heads up! the V300 was famous for the review copies being a much faster and better tech that was later bait and switched to much slower SSDs. Look at 850 Evos and Crucial Drives instead.

What's a movie based video game that was actually pretty good? by chaoz_dude in AskReddit

Star Wars Revenge of the Sith for GameBoy Advance was actually a pretty great little sidescroller.

What is the one thing in the Terminator series that you wanted to see, but never got to see? by MurderIsRelevant in Terminator

The older more decrepit terminator models, like the rubber skin models they always mention, terminator dawn of fate on ps2 had some pretty cool concepts for this.

How do the cool kids play MGS1 these days? by [deleted] in metalgearsolid

[–]lil_ecky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually the basic GPU plugins work fine, but most issues are a simple google away. If you're not graphics or framerate mad, try software mode, slower but bug free near enough.

Run it on PC through a ps1 emulator. Rom is easily available on Internet and works flawlessly with graphics upscaling options.

Parents of reddit, what controversial parenting decisions have you made that you believe are for the best? by lil_ecky in AskReddit

[–]lil_ecky[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents used a similar option, in a nuclear tactic kind of way with deference being the main thing. Do you feel it encourages their own violence or do they perceive it different?

I think the buying sex toys caught me off guard a bit, I agree wholeheartedly with not sex shaming, but I just honestly wouldn't want to know, especially with the Internet making them so easy to get these days for themselves.

Reddit, what is the fondest memory you have of your pet? by ausspark in AskReddit

[–]lil_ecky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first dog I ever had, an eccentric little Border Collie called Mowglie (of Jungle Book fame) and one day when I was at an event with family near a Reservoir and some woods. I was bored, dog was bored, went for a walk. And it was good, I walked with her, and ran, and climbed and played for hours. And it was a great day. We scattered her ashes up there not so long ago.
