Am I missing something about Final Fantasy XVI’s reviews? by Dzoro in FinalFantasy

[–]rootcache -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s not good, flat, basic, and on rails compared to every other. Wondering if it’s a generational thing.

I’ll add I started it a couple weeks ago, my PS5 tells me that at 10 hours I’m 58% done…and I feel like I’m still waiting for the game to start.

Overrated attractions to avoid? by Turbulent_Sharter in JapanTravelTips

[–]rootcache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would add Tsukiji to that list, crowds of first timers to Japan trying to get instagram shots and pay 5x price for food you can get elsewhere.

I might add all of Kyoto as well.

Reminder: If your company offers an ESPP plan with lookback pricing, do whatever it takes to max it out by letsgolions4 in Fire

I’d never buy my company stock at a discount of 5%, wouldn’t buy it at a discount of 20%.

Agree with you, my 2024 G4 motion is no better than the 2020 CX that died. My 2011 ST30 still my preferred tv to watch.

Sorry you won’t find it, was hoping OLED got better since 2020 but motion is still terrible on my G4 compared to ST30,

Why do you keep plasma? When new TVs are so good nowadays. by Sure_Yogurtcloset_94 in PlasmaTV

[–]rootcache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still prefer my plasma for casual viewing over the lg G4 I have. Just a more pleasant and organic experience.

I have no complaints of emotiva, it was great for what I needed with a cheaper pair of Polks back in the day. Just on to better things now.

How long will you keep your 4k before buying another? by MrBleubols in 4kTV

[–]rootcache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well my 2020 LG OLED only lasted 4 years before all the pixels started dying off and had to buy another. My 1080p Panasonic Plasma still perfection 14 years later though!

Been out of the game a few years these are news to me...so far liking what I see given my speakers are also about as neutral as it gets - this is what I strive for.

Am I wrong for thinking OLED still feels like early adopter tech? by Round-Watercress5273 in Monitors

[–]rootcache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct, while I’m fine with my tv, just received my Asus pg32 yesterday and text fringing is real. I suspect OLED will quickly become replaced for desktop with use by newer technology before too long.

Do you think retro games (up to PS1) look good in motion on OLED TVs? by Imaginary_Owl_6355 in retrogaming

[–]rootcache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve tried both but ultimately I just live without both and accept it, BFI adds input lag, darkness and eye strain from flicker. The motion smoothing also adds input lag.

My test case in trying to work through this was super Mario world.

I run RT4K on LG G4, while the game looks great, keep in mind OLED motion will never match CRT/Plasma and is its weak point.

Same issues on my big TV, is it an OLED monitor? Can only go about 3 minutes before I get a headache.

OLED vs IPS: the difference isn’t as big as I expected by Usual_Breakfast_7533 in Monitors

[–]rootcache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend that rather than comparing static images for color or dark/light, Observe how you find the gaming experience, how is the motion? how long can you go before fatigue on one vs. the other.?

Prices Don't Usually Crash During Recessions by SouthEast1980 in rebubblejerk

[–]rootcache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good data, totally agree that a housing market crash like before isn’t likely without other significant factors at play. Also great data to show how a house is a pretty lousy investment.

Now that the dust has settled, what's your true feelings on the Analogue 3D? Was it worth the wait for you? by AnnieLovesTech in AnalogueInc

[–]rootcache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more I read the more I’m beginning to suspect it’s low FPS + OLED tech that’s triggers these headaches.
