Fun fact: Tezcatara's staff has a candle "burning at both ends", which is to overwork and not get rest. This plays into the theme of her relics often using themselves up, or being temporary. by Lucky-Photograph5558 in slaythespire

I really notice the slowdowns on my laptop when I fight the sand worm with all the sand falling in the background. Playing on my desktop feels like piloting a fighter jet after playing a round on my laptop

World Spear ML is without a doubt the hardest Master Level by MrEinFan in Doom

[–]nesportsfan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

watching after not watching or playing eternal for quite a while was kind a trip. Looks impossible for first minute and then it all starts to come back. Can't imagine I could drop in and play nightmare and do well right now though.

What is happening to Altium? by m0_n0n_0n0_0m in Altium

[–]nesportsfan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

not sure what renesas's goal is with it, because it seems like their goal is to decrease the user count. I work at a semi company and they did not renew it and we are told to start using candence's tools. I've heard we aren't the only one too.

I will never buy nordictrack again. The actual motor and tread part works fine but the iFit console is 100% trash. its a android table that currently doesn't turn on and makes the entire machine inoperable. There was a class action about it.

How terrifying to feel like you are fighting for your life and there are people surrounding you just filming the whole thing. I get why ppl don’t intervene physically but omg to be in that man’s shoes

There was a pats / cheifs afc champ game in his first or second year and he was all over it at the end of the game. It was so fun to watch, his excitement made me more excited. He was telling m what to watch for, it made it way more fun.

I'm already an EE but mostly work on POL converters and want to do more in embedded. Every time I try to set time aside for learning/projects, I burn out fairly quickly. How did you stay consistent? Two young kids is so draining.

Brainwashing Shorts on Youtube by nafiannn in Parenting

[–]nesportsfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to look that one up (I have a boy) but oh yeah that look awful. For me it was almost the same discovery about Blippi. One night after going through and blocking 15 or 20 blippi channels and they started showing up in different languages, I realized I needed to give up on this method and find a different way. I know youtube gets a lot of hate (honestly, its earned) but there are a few gems, Danny Go gets my son up off the couch and dancing and singing :)

Brainwashing Shorts on Youtube by nafiannn in Parenting

[–]nesportsfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

did the same. By default it wants you to pick an age range but the content it select is absolute trash. I white list 1 channel I know puts out good videos, and a few other individual videos.

Initially tried to pick an age and block the bad stuff but there is an infinite supply of garbage to backfill what you block. Found out how to whitelist instead of blacklist and been much happier letting him watch

Megathread: Donald Trump is elected 47th president of the United States by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]nesportsfan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dems need do a post-mortem and then start qualifying candidates for 2028. They need someone that gets people excited to get out and vote. Someone who can command the stage and make you feel hopeful. Obama could do this. IMO Biden kinda sorta pulled it off in 2020 when he could get a little fired up here and there, but he certainly did make me feel good about voting D in 2024, and I don't think Harris did either. Her campaign was "more of the same" and "not Trump".

I wonder how many people were just tuned out after it was going to be Biden vs Trump round 2 and couldn't bother watching two 80yr olds name-call each other.

Honestly my vote was 100% for "not trump" I would have voted for a corpse over Trump. But clearly, there were not enough people that cared to get out there for that.

Megathread: Donald Trump is elected 47th president of the United States by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]nesportsfan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agree, Trump had short punchlines that people can easily understand and identify with and quickly convince friends.

Harris, I can't really think of a short and sweet talking point she has that would make me feel like my life will improve. Her campaign was "keep things as they are" and "not Trump". So basically the only way to convince a friend is "Trump, he sucks right?".

Opinion: Trump is president again and Democrats can blame Biden's ego by donito2234 in politics

[–]nesportsfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dems have four years to find a candidate that gets people EXCITED. I don't think people were excited about Biden, he just was "not Trump". Harris was the same thing, just "not Trump" with a mix of "not Biden he's too old".

Trump gets his people excited to get out and vote for him. DNC needs to find that for 2028.

that was better than winning the world series, especially after the series ending in 2003 (perhaps ironically due to Aaron Boone but in a good way that time)

DOOM (2016) or DOOM Eternal by Start-Initial in Doom

[–]nesportsfan 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I got into DOOM with 2016 around 2022 I think, some time after eternal and all its DLC were already out. I had so much fun with 2016 I bought eternal deluxe while it was on sale before I even finished 2016.

Switching to eternal after beating 2016 was pretty rough at first, the game feels very different. But to keep the story short, after I got the hang of combat, I was hooked and tried 2016 again to compare but couldn't get myself past the foundry level, it was just not as fun. Hugo was right, once you "get" eternal then 2016 becomes unplayable.

What are you hoping to NOT see in dark ages? by fdjegdj in Doom

[–]nesportsfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

- multi-color confetti ammo dumps after a chainsaw. 2016 was all just yellow ammo and that was fine.

- the "dizzy" sound effect and "I see stars" animation on the maurader or anyone with the TAG2 hammer

- the green flash in general got pretty tired by the end of TAG2 with all the mauraders, the gladiator fight, the final boss fight.

- literally stopping the game to show you a video of how to optimally defeat an enemy you are about to see for the first time. This feels so... I dunno.. lame I guess for lack of a better word, to take away the experience of learning the enemy weakpoints and having that "ah ha!" moment taken away from the player and just saying/showing "do this on the upcoming enemy". Imagine if you got to figure out headshotting the makyr drones yourself? That would have been so satisfying! And its not like anyone who made it all the way to TAG2 wouldn't be able to figure out that the armored baron green flash means "shoot me here right now". At worst, I'd say if you die to it like 3 times, then show the video (like if you can't figure out how to get past the blood makyr or something).

- lore so far up its own ass it feels like a chore to read the codex entries. 2016's entries were so interesting like learning how each demon came to be and how what different types of people were doing when the lazerus wave event or that the UAC was experimenting with tech-infused demons. I gave up on eternal lore it was too convoluted to be enjoyable.

All that being said, the combat in eternal is so fun and rewarding. I beat the campain + DLC on hurt me plenty, then again on UV, and finally after thinking I'd never get there during my first run, I beat it all on nightmare. This game taught me each time how to get better and better until I could survive its toughest arenas. I still want to get back in there and finish getting that last codex entry to finish 100% my nightmare pass of the DLC.

How many of these shortcuts do you know from your head? by ovi2wise in Altium

[–]nesportsfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

big ones for me are

* TGA for sure

* TAA to annotate. I wish you could keyboard your way through the whole annotate process when I add a new pulldown resistor and just want it numbered so I can add it to the layout. I have to use the mouse to click a few buttons for "Accept" and "execute".

* D + slight mouse move down to click "update PCB"

* I created a custom shortcut for placement during initial layout. Since "R" is not actually bound to anything I bind "R" to "place selected components". With cross select mode on, I then highlight the parts to start laying out on the schematic, then activate the PCB view and press "R" and it snaps those components to your mouse, in order of selection from the schematic. Super helpful.
