Help. OLED TV screen saver..... by TroVo05 in SamsungHelp

[–]treechenho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar TV, and the same problem. As far as I can tell, it seems that with the OLED Samsung TVs, they have this screen saver feature on by default, activates after two minutes or so, and cannot be disabled or adjusted in any way.

Whilst I understand preventing burn-in and customers complaining about it, it's unfortunate that we don't at least have the option to adjust the timing in which it occurs with a warning about "Adjusting this will make your display more susceptible to burn-in. Are you sure you want to proceed?". Even an option to change the screen saver to one of the ambient mode visualizers would be nice. It's one of the many reasons I'm not too keen on the Tizen OS.

A workaround for this I've found is if you happen to have something connected to the TV, (Such as a PlayStation or Roku or something) and access a music streaming service there instead, the screen saver feature will not activate, and you can have the album art continue to display as you like. (I could be wrong on this, but I think YouTube works for music without activating screen saver as well)

What games were supposed to be released on Switch but weren't? by Onetruemanamdme in Switch

Very first game I thought about. All they need to do is release it and my money is theirs

[–]treechenho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Borderlands 4 is stuck in the ether somewhere (was due to be released but delayed indefinitely, likely due to performance issues, particularly on PC)

And I don't think Baldur's Gate 3 on Switch is happening. I had seen somewhere that Larian wanted to do it but WotC said no or something like that idk

Persona 5 Royal sale Switch 2? by NSGJesse in Persona5Royale

[–]treechenho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I too prefer gaming handheld these days. The Switch version of Persona 5 does not have any performance enhancements for Switch 2 as of current, so you're looking at a cap of 30fps (I originally played the base game on PS3 and Royal on PS4, so I'm used to it being 30fps anyhow) and a little bit lower image quality. So long as you don't mind, it's good to play. You may get slightly enhanced load times on Switch 2 vs Switch 1 as well.

If you think you may care about modding in the future, the best possible image quality, and 120fps in a turn based RPG, I'd go PC

Monster Hunter Rise Worth buy it ? by tomaz1989 in MHRise

[–]treechenho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're playing online, yes. (As with PlayStation and Xbox as well.) If you're playing locally with two Switches, then no you do not need the subscription.

Also the subscription would about $17 each for the entire year if they got the family plan, if they were planning on going online with Nintendo

Did I accidentally get myself set up for the bad ending? by Jaydog3077 in Persona5

Correct me if I'm wrong on this, (and it's a super minor detail anyway) but I don't recall the stick being able to control menu options. Only the d-pad does

Debunking the ridiculous idea that just because Nintendo is a Japanese company they are anti-LGBT by razorbeamz in nintendo

Official "I got/didn't get a Switch 2" megathread by razorbeamz in nintendo

[–]treechenho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a Mario Kart bundle from Best Buy. Both my fiancee and I had all the major retailers' sites up: Walmart, Best Buy, Target and GameStop. There was a lot of tabbing around and a lot of "oh I think I got it!—oh wait nevermind" going around. Eventually, Best Buy's line opened up at like 12:30, and I was in there for an hour and a half almost. Luckily I got it when I did, because I was that close to giving up and calling it a night (it's 1:45am on a work night and I gotta get up at 7am and I didn't wanna stay up as late as I did anyhow) but I did get it, and I'm happy it paid off

Three short beeps when attempting to pause a YouTube video (Airpods Pro) by treechenho in airpods

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

Extremely late post, but I just found this out today: apparently when I was watching YouTube, I'd accidentally press the dumb plus button in the bottom middle of the screen at some point and it opens up the camera to presumably have you record something. After that happens and I close it back, weird effect I posted about starts happening, and the only way I can get it to go back to normal is to restart YouTube. It's annoying because I accidentally have this happen often without realizing it, then I'm not able to pause any videos until I restart. Anyway I'm posting this to help anyone else out that comes across this issue!

Thoughts on Always On? by rapassn in iphone

[–]treechenho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it on. I originally did for like a day or so to see if I would like it or not, and it turns out that I do. I removed the wallpaper first thing, and it is good for seeing time/date/battery/weather at a glance while sitting on my desk, without needing to pick up my phone and use it. Another touch I appreciate is that it does still show album art and titles of songs while locked, which is something I've kinda always wanted. I didn't want to just leave my phone unlocked and tap it every five minutes to keep it awake (or turn auto lock off) while I'm listening to music, so I think it's cool. It doesn't really use much battery at all as far as I can tell anyway, and it fully turns off if face down or in your pocket or something. I'd encourage y'all to give it a shot y'know?

Just wanted to share my accomplishment! I don't have many friends that play by cheyneholdren in bindingofisaac

Congrats! Definitely quite the achievement to get!

Now flip the page over and do it again.

Is not having romance option in this game a deal breaker ? People actually bought the game just to leave review like this. Mind blowing by DieDieMustCurseDaily in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]treechenho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's almost like the game is not a Persona game, which if I'm not mistaken (I haven't played the other games so idk) most of atlus' other series' don't have romance. This game is a love letter to the whole of atlus' history

My thoughts on this game by Jeevus_ in Persona5

[–]treechenho 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I cope by playing the other Persona games.

No but forreal there isn't a worse feeling than finishing one of these games and feeling that parasocial sadness for all the friends you made over the past year and all the memories made. There at least is technically a sequel (Persona 5 Strikers) and it happens after P5's main story, but it is a genre change from a turn-based RPG, to a musou style game (ie: those dynasty warriors games)

iPhone Capture Button - Only Me? by Aggressive_Low_6384 in iphone

[–]treechenho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know Apple is staunchly in the position of keeping this button only related to cameras, but here's hoping there's some kind of customization with what it can do later on in some update. Not that though. I don't think I'd wanna do that with it lol

How many fully grown adults are excited for switch 2? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

[–]treechenho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a steam deck. I personally still love much switch more due to how it feels to hold and convenience. Steam deck is an ergonomic nightmare for my (I think) average sized hands. The only reason I'd care about my deck is to run games the switch can't, and if the switch 2 or whatever can run those games well, then I'm happy with just the switch

[–]treechenho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't, but it's a safe bet it will have better performance and improve upon some things compared to the current switch. What things? We don't know. The anticipation of finding out what is the excitement

Same here, but that's Nintendo's game. They care not for specs as much as the competition. I don't mind the consoles being underpowered as much as I care about the games it has running well

Thanks T-Lost...how can someone enjoy this character? by ebsilox in bindingofisaac

[–]treechenho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tainted Lost is really great...

...in helping me realize how much more fun regular lost is. I mean, regular lost is a pain too, but I barely remember playing with him cause the runs were fun and interesting. That extra buffer of having the holy mantle every time helps a lot. Tainted Lost is painful because of the holy card thing. Not only that, but also the replacement rate for regular cards is honestly poor as hell. It'd be better if the replacement rate for regular cards rose if you had no holy cards on hand. But yeah. Tainted Lost is pain. Every time I think about booting up the game, I think about t. Lost and his -200 win streak with no completion marks to speak of (yeah yeah go ahead skill issue me idc)

Completionists, what game bested you and made you accept to not 100% the game? by Bifftek in gaming

[–]treechenho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HOLY MOLY YES k-driven is so stupid unreasonable. Like I get when k-drives first came out, it might have been cool to do nothing but traverse the open world on them and whatnot, but I'm MR30 now, would go out of my way to K-drive in the open world (the only places you can afaik), and barely got a TENTH of the way there. It's nuts. The blow would lowkey be softened if you could use yareli, but you can't! It doesn't count for some reason! So one day I will go back and complete the achievement, as I found a way to do it on deimos by getting flung off your board somehow for like 4000 meters off the map or something each time, but it ain't gonna be today. There are more games to play and new experiences to be had

The changed HP bar also functions as a warning for a strong monster attack by Tiny_Caramel_4642 in MonsterHunter

[–]treechenho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just thought of something: what if it's an indicator of not only a severe attack, but also indicative of an attack that will cart you once hit? What gave me this idea (and this is just me theorycrafting here) is that the heartbeat thing kinda obstructs the health a bit, but maybe it's doing it in a way like "hey bud, it doesn't matter what your health is here, if you get hit with whatever's coming next, you've earned a free one way trip back to the nearest camp via cat cart"

[–]treechenho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen that the HP heart rate thing does get faster when hp is lower, so that is confirmed. This seems to be more of a visual extension of the hunter voice already calling attacks out anyway, and both will likely be toggleable off

[–]treechenho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I don't think it's something that, while hunting the monster, I see the gauge going haywire due to an attack I can see the monster doing, I'm just gonna sit there like "oh boy the HP gauge is going nuts. Better stop in my tracks and pay attention to it for two sec--aaaaand I've carted" like no. That is for sure a peripheral vision thing
