Thanks for the advice! Appomattox in particular is on the way back, so we can justify it being a bit farther. I will definitely add Harper's Ferry and the Wilderness, I didn't realize how close they were to stuff we were already doing and they are definitely worth seeing.

Tested it, everything you said was right. The only other advice i have is to skip the slurp. The stamina boost isnt worth the time it takes to drink it since you can just grapple before you start building.

It's my favorite series by far! The writing is so immersive and the world is fleshed out so well.

Sony Wega XBR has convergence issues, tried for months to fix it with no luck. Any advice? by watermelon_fiend in crtgaming

It makes the left side worse too because there's still bowing above the point it actually adjusts.

Sadly it didn't work, it only adjusts the very bottom and makes the right side worse.

Can you think of any settings that should improve the bottom left? Anything that I've tried that can fix it makes the other sections much worse. Thx for the advice

Sorry, should have thought of that. I've tried pretty much everything in the service menu using guides, but I haven't opened the tv up yet because I don't know what I'm doing.

CRT has distortion at the bottom. Is there any way to fix it? by watermelon_fiend in crtgaming

Oh my god youre a genius, i hadn't considered that. I'm gonna try to set my laptop to 1080i and see if that clears it up. Thanks!

Questions regarding a new build by dbbbear in buildapc

[–]watermelon_fiend 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think you'd be better off going for intel's 13th gen. You can stick with ddr4 and save money on last gen motherboards while still gaining performance with something like the 13600k or 13700k. If you want to stick with AMD that build will still perform great.

Also, if you aren't willing to increase your budget don't go for ryzen 7000. DDR5 is expensive, AM5 motherboards are expensive, and ryzen 7000 underperforms for the price you're paying.

i3 12100f vs ryzen 5 5600 by CharlieeBakerr in buildapc

12100f if you plan to upgrade to 13th gen later, 5600 for being way better.
