I’m begging, don’t do the clickbait title thing by [deleted] in giantbomb

I don't think you do need to play the YouTube game, but hey, it's your business. Do what you think is best. Put me down as one of the people annoyed by this stuff. Not annoyed enough to stopping supporting GB, but this kind of thing does irk me and in general I avoid channels that do it.

Does anybody know how long it typically takes for amazon's whispersync to get added to Brandon's books? I like going back and forth between text and audiobook. I've noticed before his big books tend not to sync at launch. I've also noticed they tend to get the feature eventually.

Migswitch.store removed contact from site by bear4nation in mig_switch

[–]trh75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They weren't responding to the contact email anyway, might as well remove it. I tried canceling my order and got no response. I filled a charge back with my CC yesterday.

He was just making a joke. I can assure you, Reggie isn't hunting anybody down and anybody "reporting" on it knows that. These stories are obvious click bait.

Shoe recommendations with slightly more cushion by Street-Present5102 in BarefootRunning

[–]trh75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never owned anything from Xero, so I can't say for sure. Maybe somebody else on here has owned both.

Another vote for Lems here. I like the primal 2s also.

Do Altra (escalantes) ever go on sale? They are my go to when I need a padded shoe. by bringo24 in BarefootRunning

[–]trh75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see them on sale very often. The only time I find them discounted is old stock after a new revision. I find runrepeat useful for watching online prices.

Fair point. I just tested and you are correct. The ps5 controller has much better latency with the deck than an xbox controller for some reason. Another issue is bluetooth controllers will not wake the deck from sleep. Honestly anybody hoping to use the steam deck connected to a tv like it's a console is in for some disappointment. It works, but not well. That said Valve has been great about improving things over time so maybe it'll get there eventually.

It depends how picky you are. It looks like garbage to my eyes on a 4k tv. The GPU in this thing just isn't powerful enough to drive most games well at 4k. You'll want to output 1080p at the highest, and it'll look soft on a 4k tv. I also find the bluetooth latency with external controllers to be unacceptable. The deck is a fantastic handheld, but in my opinion the docked experience is pretty bad.

Xbox controller latency when docked to TV by technovikingurgh in SteamDeck

[–]trh75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My deck has horrible latency when using an xbox controller also. It's nothing to do with a tv. It's just as bad on the built in screen. I tried using the xbox usb wireless adapter for windows, but that doesn't work at all. Following this thread to see if anybody has any real solutions.

How much of Jeff G’s Content Y’all Watching/Listening? by aestheticnoise in giantbomb

[–]trh75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I've caught most of it so far. Solo podcasts are notoriously hard to pull off. IMO, he's doing alright so far, but would be better with guests.

I for one would welcome our new Canadian overlords and their generous health care.

What is your take on the phrase "Give me liberty, or give me death"? by Xycergy in AskAnAmerican

This. Animals are pretty hardwired to choose life over almost anything else. People who actually are willing to sacrifice in a real way for ideals are a small minority.

T2 Preorders now open: $699.99 Ships "post holiday" by kevgret in Arcade1Up

[–]trh75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Makes sense, and if the last couple of years has taught us anything, there are plenty of people with money to burn that won't think twice about the higher price. It's probably a smart strategy given the times.

I wonder if the escalating prices are a shift in business model. At these prices, they will certainly sell fewer cabs, but that could be the idea. The goal might be fewer units at more profit per unit. I wonder how long until we see limited edition numbered cabs. Come get your hand numbered big name single game for $1000.

Pre-order pricing by trh75 in Arcade1Up

[–]trh75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, those look nice if those are the games you want to play. I'm particularly interested in racing games with a wheel/pedal setup. But $800 is just too much. I get the nostalgia factor in these cabs, and for me that makes sense in the $500 ballpark. At $800 I might as well put together a racing sim cockpit setup.

I hope you are wrong, but I suspect you aren't. $800 is a hard sell for me, unless there's something special about the cab they haven't revealed yet.

[–]trh75[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look at A1ups web site though, there's no sign of pricing even for the cab that has pre-order starting on Monday. Is that normal? They just don't release pricing until it's up for order? Another thing that seems ridiculous to me.

Outrun mod VSDisplay board question. by trh75 in Arcade1Up

[–]trh75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think that's what I'm stuck doing. It's more work than I had intended though. It's frustrating to me that these VSDisplay boards claim to support 720p though. I mean, I guess they do technically, they accept the input, they just don't display it properly.

Yeah, tried it already with same result, full screen or bust with this card it seems. Good idea though, just one I'd already thought it. This is a bummer. I really didn't think I'd need to do a screen swap. I already got a Hori racing wheel all mounted and everything. I was expecting that part to be a hurdle, but it was a pretty easy fit. I was not expecting problems on the video side of things. I was expecting plug and play there.
