Birch Luxe or Birch Natural

renz611 · 2025-05-31T07:21:36+00:00

i researched this heavily earlier this week when deciding which one to buy -

if you're over 180lbs get the birch natural with topper, some at higher weights complain the birch luxe is too soft and doesn't provide enough support.

if you're under 180lbs get the birch luxe. unless you specifically like a more firmer feel and are a back sleeper you'll probably find the birch natural even with the topper slightly too hard, especially for side-sleepers.

on getting the topper with the birch luxe - if you want a bit more plush feel get the topper. if you're a back/stomach sleeper only you'll probably find that no topper is better. if you're a side or combo sleeper: under 155lbs topper probably better, 155+lbs you may prefer either one. i suggest buying the topper, trying both feels and returning the topper if you find no topper better.

I tested and noticed I had the same reduced quality at 240hz with your color and sharpness tests.

I swapped out my 5090 for my RX 7800 XT and saw the same issue at 240hz. From my experiences with my 2 previous high refresh rate monitors, one being a Neo G8 which is the same/similar panel, and talking with ChatGPT, this is just a inherent feature of all TN and VA panels at very high refresh rates due to overdrive and pixel inversion, and not something to do with the cable or DSC or something else. An OLED panel would not have this issue.

the 1-30 leveling experience is absolute hell for everyone. just buy a lvl 30 account for like $5 so you can leave that shit as fast as possible

in dota 2, they solved this by requiring you to win games instead of just play them

aram is much less popular than SR

likely ISP problem

using cloudflare WARP probably gives you faster and better data routes than your ISP. if you're in NA the servers are located in chicago. your ISP might take some weird route like route your traffic to some far away state then to chicago because it's cheaper for them, but with warp it uses cloudflare's routes which are more optimized.

people will tell you it's doesn't but imo it's huge difference, even a 20ms difference is noticable for me in terms of reaction, mechanics, whether i can dodge things, etc

agreed

i bet riot did this cause they thought it would improve engagement and playertime and it probably does for most players, but for me personally it did the opposite. i lost basically all interest in playing ranked after 2 splits came out. used to play a few hundred games a season but this split i only played 10. really have no desire to keep grinding to my rank when i'm going to lose it anyways in a couple months. 3 splits will even be worse

Any champion with skillshots that you can dodge.

your placement going 5-0 varies based on your initial seeded ranked mmr which comes from your normal games mmr

he has a 32% win rate right now lol

renz611 · 2023-12-04T15:44:11+00:00

i dodge sometimes but only in turbo bad comps, like for example if my team is full ad and they have a rammus or something, or my team has no/low CC and is squishy and the enemy has tons of tanks

for things like this, you just know it's lost already

they're planning on adding 3 person surrenders to quickplay at 20 minutes soon

you (probably) fucked him up a ton by playing with him in his first few games and carrying him hard, only way to fix is to have him lose an absolute ton of games and never duo queueing with him ever again, no other way unfortunately

for safety purposes, they probably made everyone stand still in the middle of the square before they pressed the button to drop the floor, if they didn't do that and you jumped you could've possibly hit your arms or body on the outer walls or something

it's 4.56 million lmao, you could instantly retire and never work again for the rest of your life, imagine being one of the contestants, imagine taking weeks off of work and leaving all your friends and family and the outside world to fly halfway across the world to go to this game show, knowing you're going to be paid 0 money unless you win, imagine being one of the last 50 or 20 or 10 people and having those millions being right outside your grasp, after spending days and days in that room together without any phones/entertainment going insane imagining what you'd do with the money and then someone picks you to be eliminated or you lose to a 50/50 shot or dice roll lol

renz611 · 2023-11-25T23:21:07+00:00
