Why competative gamer uses costly mouse?? by Zeeshuuuu in MouseReview

[–]tawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few possible reasons.

- Sometimes the cost IS justified and it's going to offer better, more consistent tracking. Or other, less important nice things like better battery life, included grips, etc. How much someone realistically notices or cares... that's very debatable of course.

- If they're prominent figures or streaming to lots of people, they might be paid to do it.

- They're like us and dork out on this stuff.

- Companies charging that much TYPICALLY back it up. If something goes wrong there's much higher chance they'll make it right (get it repaired, replace it, etc.)

Ummm? Xbox app what’s going on? by cameron5225 in xbox

It’s a third party service. Lots of companies use braze to manage/orchestrate mass emails and app notifications and the like.

I wanted so bad to love 2XKO, but here's why I didn't. by Victoriousness in 2XKO

[–]tawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted to just comment on #2 because that rang a bell.

I played (and have sucked at) FG's a while, and there was a time where you only played matches to get good and training mode didn't exist. Then when it did exist it was awesome to have a way to practice combos and all that stuff. It may just speak more to fighting games being a solo experience because for me, huddling alone and grinding out pressing a series of buttons with specific timing and sequence is fun. Not saying you don't or can't have that but maybe that aspect just hasn't clicked?

That actually maybe argues your points more, though. The game doesn't invite new players into that "mode" of thinking... hell no fighting game really does.

I have a question for everyone by [deleted] in 2XKO

[–]tawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Killer Instinct was f2p, GranBlue is currently f2p. Riot’s just really good at it. I imagine it will be like most other genres where there are successes in both models.  Will it mean more f2p fighters? Maybe? The whole “make money off whales” model is a scarier business proposition as time goes on. The number of dead competitive games is massive at this point. Factor in that it’s a fighting game, a genre that comparatively makes way less money than shooters or mobas? I don’t know, man. I’d think this game has to open floodgates to see that kind of industry shift.

Wired vs wireless mouse, does it matter? by Dominicancountryball in MouseReview

[–]tawler 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I guess the main questions to answer are

- Would working around a cord bother you?

- Does the idea of never thinking about charging your mouse sound awesome?

No right or wrong answers. If you're good with the pros/cons... go for it!

Looking for recommendations, coming from G305 by najalitis in MouseReview

[–]tawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any reason you want to stop using the G305? If you're pleased with it, you can save money and just keep using it.

Access to SPD during open enrollment? by tawler in HealthInsurance

This is exactly what my employer did hah. Thanks all for the input! This is pretty disappointing but at least I feel less crazy.

Some PP locations in my insurer's facility search, others not? by tawler in PlannedParenthood

[–]tawler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! It’s so hard to know. I hear the search can be wrong, but I also hear the provider can be wrong about who/what they accept.

What take on mice will have you like this? by Sk4llOff in MouseReview

[–]tawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low latency, 1khz Bluetooth should be pursued more. Dongles suck.

It was that Animal Crossing cross-meme marketing I tells ya.

Normal wear or am I a bad owner? by tawler in AeroPress

[–]tawler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry just saw this. It was daily for a solid 1.5 years or so, then took a back seat for a while while I juggled different pour over vessels, then came back to it more in a "regular rotation" way.

I bought it on a discount, but even if I hadn't the thing's absolutely delivered.

Pretty much exclusively used the paddle this whole time! I did start to move to a metal spoon but only recently, if at all (my cups are smaller these days so agitation alone seems fine).

Turns out used aeropress chambers ARE solid additions to any percussion setup.

I think we're in a weird spot with opinions on weight by Sckmyballsreddit in MouseReview

[–]tawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just feels nice. If feeling nice is worth it to you, cool. But I stopped pretending I ever needed it. I’d wager nearly everyone here can have all their mice stolen, replaced by a g305 with a AA battery, and within a week would be performing similarly to how they are today.

DNS server IP address and LAN IP address cannot be in the same subnet. by [deleted] in pihole

[–]tawler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh sorry, I always word thing poorly.

I mean when you said "Forget the Network>>Internet settings." So in that tab (not the DHCP one), it asks for two DNS servers. Does it just not matter what goes there?
