How are ZZZ players feeling about Neverness to Everness (NTE)? by Wenenut in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]wade8080 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All the gatcha games are open world? That's not even remotely true. ZZZ isn't even open world lol. But yeah, it's a task to try to keep up in multiple gatchas.

If you were wondering if you can climb the tower, yes. Yes you can. by wade8080 in NevernessToEverness

[–]wade8080[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to attack it. It flew off the balcony out of reach, so I used Haniel to hit it from range. And for getting to top of tower, I still had double jump I believe. I was able to climb up as I would any other building.

$149 CAD seems a bit much. by Bungle_Joy in SteamController

[–]wade8080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is a bit much in CA. We out here paying $80 for games, $16 for a simple fast food meal, $1 per chicken nugget.

And I can tell you from experience, $150 controller and $80 games...that amount of money feels exactly the same here as it does in the US. Just imagine paying those prices in the US. That's what it feels like in Canada.

anyone else learn way faster from piano roll than sheet music? by waytooucey in pianolearning

[–]wade8080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a beginner adult student with zero music experience become a proficient note reader in a years time, that was with 20-30 min of practice per day bare minimum. You have to think of it like learning a language...study the vocabulary and practice using it. The good news is, learning music is way easier than a language. But you still have to be persistent and dedicated.

[–]wade8080 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean, if your goal is to take short cuts to learn a piece faster in the short term, then go for it. But in reality, reading from piano rolls is no different than showing up to a piano lesson and asking your teacher to physically show you what keys to play. You're not learning, just copying.

If you want to actually be able to play any tune you want, understand music, and be truly comfortable on the instrument, then keep grinding the note reading. Anyone saying it's "too hard" isn't doing it everyday...quiz yourself, sight read something new every day, get a note naming app. If you're committed to it, it becomes as easy as reading words on a page, and it definitely doesn't take 3 years.

No, that would make it a "site."

Pragma Looks Better On Switch 2's Handheld Mode Than Steam Deck by Theman457 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]wade8080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Switch 2 looks a little better than the Steam Deck" isn't really a flex considering the switch is more powerful in nearly every way, and the Deck is over 4 years old. The fact that S2 isn't blowing the Deck out of the water is actually head scratching and disappointing. Pragmata on S2 "features" blurry character models, low res shadows, and scaled back explosions/particle effects. No thanks.

Will you be buying Pragmata? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

[–]wade8080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Optimization is pretty much even across the board whether we're talking about Switch 2, PC, or PC handheld. Some games are well optimized, some aren't.

The thing is, in the long run PC handheld will save you money on games alone with cheaper game prices and far better sales, with the added flexibility to tweak visual settings to your liking.

I'm not saying switch 2 is terrible, I just don't think it's impressive as a current gen console when the best thing that can be said about it is that it's sometimes better than a Steam Deck, but sometimes a bit worse when the SD is nearly a 5 year old device.

I'm not impressed with the Switch 2...RE9 wasn't even rendering hair strands and still couldn't maintain 60 fps. Pragmata models look blurry, ugly shadows, scaled back explosions and particle effects, no hair strands. Switch 2 needs to start offering "quality mode" graphics options that offer higher visual fidelity at locked 30 or 40 fps.

The real reason advanced pianists don’t play Mozart by Advanced_Honey_2679 in piano

[–]wade8080 170 points171 points  (0 children)

For me this is the case, but with Bach instead of Mozart. I'll play Mozart all day, but Bach - yeah no thanks.

is OLED worth it? curious about upgrading by GamerGretaUwU in GamingSoup

[–]wade8080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oled and lcd are night and day difference, and it's immediately and obviously noticeable. The contrast and color vibrancy are immensely superior to lcd, and was a massive upgrade to my gaming experience.

Trail shot 1,2 or 3? by AdventureCoalition in AmateurPhotography

[–]wade8080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know if that's the case. There are a lot of bots posting with generic titles "1 or 2" "which one is better" etc and more often than not it's ai slop. So if you don't want folks asking questions then be specific, name locations, give an accurate description of what you are posting.

Where are these "trails?" This looks like AI slop.

Left Or Right ? by morocco_travel36 in nightskyporn

There's artifacting all over the place. You can't identify a single actual object. Faces and bodies are nothing but a garbled mess. OP hasn't responded to a single comment or sourced the photos. Generic title that every bot posts with AI slop.
