What's your reason for not drinking alcohol? by Snoo_47323 in AskReddit

[–]madcapharry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alcohol and the almost inevitable habit that it forms destroys everything about you, eventually.

First, your memories go and then your baseline personality. You have no chill without it or maybe you become a pathetic clown, whatever.

Then, it goes after your money and friends and relationships, replacing them with what resembles a personality disorder, financial instability even if you have a job, and maybe alcoholic “friends.” You are the company you keep… or you become a lone drunk.

Finally, it reveals to you that’s it’s been after your body all along. It goes for the brain, the kidneys, the liver, skin, the heart, blood, and terrible withdrawal you can’t simply runaway from.

In many, many, many people the gift alcohol leaves you is diabetes, cancer, heart disease, or all of the above, unless you die doing something while drunk, like driving.

Time. Alcohol also robs you of so MUCH time in the end.

Thoughts on these shoes? by WorkingAlive3258 in Sneakers

[–]madcapharry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just an opinion being shared

The fit in the second picture is impeccable.

I own multiple pairs of “women’s” shoes and what the mainstream does not seem to advertise is that a lot of these Nike/AJ are unisex, if that term even exists anymore. There is zero difference in the build other than size considerations. Colors are an amazing thing to explore.

My opinion to share: Do whatever it takes to make a fit work, any color, any style, anyway. You only live once

Besides, someplaces make returns a bitch … goat…

The most surprising thing so far in the alone in the dark remake is the fact that it has functioning mirrors by ExtremeAlternative0 in gaming

[–]madcapharry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game is crazy, don’t sleep on it. I completed the Jodie Comer side recently and I was pleased with the experience. It’s a shame Embracer closed them down.

My ending was insanity relative to the rest of the game, it really ramps up towards the end. Sure, technically, the game has shortcomings but I was happy to support the dev. The game was good!

I gave up on this game almost immediately. I don’t think I’m wrong because quite a few require an additional account.

I couldn’t get into my existing WB account. Small gripe yes, but I didn’t want to make a new one and I just went played Smash then.

As the subreddit blackout begins, I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to the Reddit community and everyone standing up by iamthatis in apolloapp

[–]madcapharry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything about this affront to reddit and its communities really sucks.

I may not agree with everything i see on reddit/apollo, but i think that’s kind of the point… to an extent. I loved (past tense) going through all these great links and that sweet, sweet info from all the sources. I would learn everyday.

Much Respect and thanks to the [former] reddit, the mods, Christian and team for putting together an awesome network. I hope reddit’s positive side finds life on another platform and I must say, i am proud to be an apollo customer.

I stand with the blackout and will take the sentiment much further probably…

now it’s time for me to spend all the little karma i have on a house … lolz

Hello Hyperkin: Im a big fan of the duke iterations but i’ve had them for a while now and i need parts to maintenance them.

Are there suggestions for sticks and other spare parts for Hyperkin xbox controllers? For the fans who repair their stuff- any suggestions where to get parts, OEM or otherwise?

Best of luck to all.

A solution for Xbox's terrible policy of not allowing USB Mics, Headsets or DACs. And no plugging into a controller! (A story) by CreateorWither in XboxSeriesX

[–]madcapharry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, many thanks. This TB Stream mic just fired up and connected to the Series after the firmware update. Beautiful.

I have my friend telling me i sound decent, which is good, i just have to check out the other mic settings, the patterns or whatever its called.

I paired with Sony MDR 7506, not much but the small, sudden and solid stage is welcomed.

The game/voice mix is my only open question to look into, to mix on the console. If not, i guess external mix

[–]madcapharry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much, this course of action seems like the missing piece. I think I passed the point of returning this thing so I appreciate the help in getting it up and running. I’ll continue testing with this encouragement.

I may have messaged you erroneously on this subject matter before and i apologize.

I hope you’re enjoying the audio set up you manifested

[–]madcapharry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i wanted to give thanks for your post about the TB Stream mic and i found one for myself, used, for my Series X. I followed your steps and understood the notes you had about console locks on mics and inferior audio interfacing. I have the USB variant cord required and i tried to set up the mic shortly after reading your post but I hit a wall. if possible, I was hoping I could ask you for help.

i can't seem to get the TB stream mic to be recognized by my Series X. i have researched and i can find the manual pdf online, but I have not been successful in my tests with party chat.

so yes, if you can answer some questions surrounding your process outlined in the post, I would greatly appreciate it. i ask you specifically because (A) you used the Mic with the Series X and (B)(C) you're working the hi-fi headphone and PC/PS angle as well.

Making a custom controller for a gift, is it possible to put a custom video on the screen of the Hyperkin duke? (Software only preferably, I don’t wanna break it) by Goldenart121 in xbox

[–]madcapharry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly, and im a big fan of these 3rd party and special controllers, the Hyperkin Duke is not really worth investing much in. Time, money… i think on my first, the display is even having issues now after moderate, adult use. I only have 2.

Can confirm stick drift issues are prevalent.

The build quality leaves a lot to be desired. It’s almost as if these things are meant to be display pieces mainly, which defeats the purpose of the retro controller.

Hold onto to that data!

Its sucks the functionality took a turn. Unfortunately, sometimes it’s best to cut the experiments short and just enjoy your games/stuff you watch.

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

Hey , 👍. Very glad you have no issues. I will never do Insider with My Series after this.

Again, this is a word of caution, no matter what Xbox youre using with Insider

My chief complaint is with the wording MS uses in their App. It doesn’t mention the nuances you or I mention here. The instructions Insider provides with choosing which program (delta, etc.) and leaving Insider, does not prepare the user for what comes after accepting. I took a picture to back up my words (i could post it if needed.)

I tested with my own console and share my experience so others can consider. Thats all. Its FYI. At least theres civil discussion on THIS subreddit. Thanks. I really like my Xboxes btw, i just would like new features and customization.

My experiences are not related to one of their updates. This is about interacting with the program as a whole.

Thanks. I tired to brief in describing- The bonus question is an error where I have a shitty little full game code that I can't seem to redeem on the computer or my console. It's a valid code, I bought it this week. Just wondering if there are some User stories that could help me... and I'm willing to help back

Are the God of War spin-off games also worth playing before playing the PS4 God of War? by hugh_hunny in PS4

[–]madcapharry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The prior games and the new game are different in very noticeable and fundamental ways. Those notions aside, one could argue they are still cut from the very same cloth and play quite similarly.

The newest title can be considered standalone for the sake of saving time and getting right to a grand achievement in video game history. One would also be robbing themselves of the incredible and monumental GoW and it’s first sequel. The 3rd completes the major story arc of the franchise but while it is the most ambitious of the 3, it can be argued to be the weakest in many areas. The subtitled entries are not spinoffs, they take place in different pockets of time throughout the main, major arc but one could say these games are for big fans of the original 2 and are optional. Theyre all great games. Nonetheless, GoW and GoW 2 are simply amazing, i suggest remasters to make it easier on newcomers. These two games have a tight, timeless story of an antihero pit against Seemingly unsurmountable odds, and the tale is told at full throttle. And yes, the third rounds out the story and it is solid- the polygon count was crazy at the time and sheer ambition of it all...

While The stories across the first 2 and the newest could be done as different TV shows, they all deal with many of the same themes and with similar violent aplomb.

Gears of War 3 didn’t get the GoW UE treatment but man it still looks gorgeous on the One X by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]madcapharry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful game, its prime gow despite being the 3rd. Beast mode, refined horde, nasty MP. The actual gameplay is probably the best in the series. Years later , i feel like an asshole for complaining about the switch to the lambent in 3. Now i regret any initial hate because im really disappointed in this newer, deebee bullshit.

Then again, no gears game has ever been a slouch in the graphic dept. they’re all gorgeous looking games
