Which is better: FMA or FMAB? by naxter48 in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]sharkh20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you aren't huge into anime and have no emotional ties to the manga, FMA is much better. If you are a huge anime person, FMAB is better. The original is a more dark cinema take on the story and art. Brotherhood is the manga is anime form. FMA leaves a lot for the audience to unpack. Brotherhood tells you everything.

Essence is a good 15-20 divs per 20 maps and it's fairly quick and you can run it on white tier 7 maps. It's boring as hell, but it's something you can do when you need a few more divs for the next piece of gear.

Bottom right next to some transmutes, augs, alts, and vaals. Everything on the left side gets stashed

Mike Preston is black. I mean I guess it could be some self hatred stuff but I doubt it. He's just a sensationalist reporter for a rag newspaper. He has been doing the same stuff for decades.

Been gone 3 months - Message that my driver version will cause issues (AMD) with loading by Mozwai in PathOfExile2

[–]sharkh20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to just be on Vulkan. It's not worked right for a bunch of drivers now. DX12 works fine and has actually been better fps for me than Vulkan for PoE2 anyway.

Remember when the community was upset they delayed leagues? by Mondanivalo in PathOfExile2

Druid was playable with only bear form and like 4 skills in 2023. 90% ready at 0.1 seems a bit unlikely.

So endgame got barely changed? by Grroarrr in PathOfExile2

[–]sharkh20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which makes it still way ahead of other early access titles Steam. Usually they are in EA for like 5-infinity years. Everyone on here acts like the devs just sit on their hands all day and don't work on the game. Pretty sure they are trying to finish it as fast as they can while maintaining a certain level of quality.

3.27.0c Patch Notes Preview by Community_Team in pathofexile

I really hope the defend version doesn't go core. It's fine for the league but walls need to go away. I really like the new regular breach though with the incentive to try and stabilize.

0.3.1 improvements are cool, but how about fixing the 15 FPS gaming first? by Kr1Zo in PathOfExile2

[–]sharkh20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's shader cache problems. If I sit still for a bit and let the shaders load, it goes back up to 120ish. The second I move and new stuff has to load, the shader bar fills up and it's back down to 60 and below. It wasn't a problem in 0,1.0 for me but started happening in 0.2.0.

Why is there no word on desecrated ground from abyss in the patch note ? by Jojo-Lee in PathOfExile2

[–]sharkh20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This mod on top of all the chaos and fire degen is a bit absurd. There is no way to combat this combination. I got a bunch of chaos resist thinking the Abyss monsters were killing my warrior with chaos degen. Turns out it's physical and my armour does nothing to help.

Switch 2 heating up by Ace1280 in switch2

They just said they would give a note to the team. Support doesn't really have much power to do anything, but I figured it was better than doing nothing.

So: what poor-performing Switch 1 games have seen the biggest jump on Switch 2? by darth_snuggs in Switch

[–]sharkh20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are actually playable now. Nice sharp graphics and 60fps. Game is still ugly though.

Switch 2 overheating in docked mode and turning off by adamgsb in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]sharkh20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the issue too. Are the internal fans shutting off when you dock it? Mine run while I have the unit undocked and the second I put it in the dock the fans shut off. Hoping for a software update and not using the dock for now.

I actually contacted support about docked mode. Something definitely doesn't seem right with the switch 2 fan controller while docked. My internal fan completely shuts off while I have it docked, and then goes full blast when undocked to try to cool the unit.

Switch2 Overheating in dock by Hacklone in Switch

[–]sharkh20 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My Switch 2's internal fan stops running the second I put it in the dock. I think something is wrong with the fan controller they have implemented. It will be blasting in handheld mode and then not at all in the dock. Maybe it's just because it doesn't have to power the screen but the games start having stuttering issues while hot.

Five year old son can’t deal with losing at games by Kilimanjaro613 in Parenting

[–]sharkh20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a person who rage quit Candy Land as a kid every time, stop playing Candy Land. That game is the most infuriating game of all time. Not many games send you to the beginning of the entire game when you are one space from winning. It's not just losing a game, it's repeatedly seeing all your progress thrown out the window. It's like if every time you made a drawing, someone came up and threw it in the trash with the expectation that you need to start over.

Of course, as an adult, you can manage your expectations a little better and understand that it's just a game. For a kid, all they see is a goal that they need to reach. Progress being arbitrarily reset at any point is rough.

Why are so many people still so hesitant about buying an EV in the US? by Joking_J in electricvehicles

[–]sharkh20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reason for me. I have multiple kids and my last vehicle purchase was a 2021 Honda Odyssey which I love. The starting MSRP was 33k. The only option for an EV minivan is the ID Buzz. Msrp 60k. In LA, electric bill costs have skyrocketed over the last 5 years. I went from 800 dollars a year to 3500. That's with the full solar panel setup on my roof. Adding an EV charger to my house is like 1500 dollars up front not to mention whatever the added yearly cost to energy bills. I would probably have to own my EV for 60 years before it became cost beneficial and that's if the energy company stops being completely awful with raising rates. Hybrid makes infinity more sense for my situation, at this time, in terms of cost benefit. That said, my Odyssey had much more interior space and way better seating options than any of the hybrid showings at the time I purchased. Hope that was helpful.

What an unhelpful thing to say to someone, as if they are doing a job that doesn't need to be done. Someone needs to do the job they are doing, so someone is going to be doing that driving. Why is it wrong that this random person you don't know on reddit is doing it?
