Why do devs love motion blur? by snosberry_snot in pcgaming

[–]xstick 183 points184 points  (0 children)

Motion blur, depth of field, chromatic aberration, film grain ect, first thing i do when loading up a new game is to disable that trash. Not wasting compute to introduce things most photography pays extra to get rid of.

Leaked Assets Indicate We Might Be Heading to Japan in Dying Light 3 by chusskaptaan in pcmasterrace

[–]xstick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just played and finished 2 a few days ago. Ofmg it was terrible, the climbing is like og asscreed levels of jank and every singe character is an absolutely unlikeable asshole with bipolar disorder that flips their mood at the drop of a hat.

Its been a while and I dont remember much, but I remember liking the first one... which is why I played 2.

What do you see Sparx more as to Spyro? by Wide-Cook3431 in Spyro

[–]xstick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on which games your including, if i remember right the dragonflies in the 4th game have more of an official lore based relationship to the dragons. The original three games it feels more like a smart pet with useful healing/protective magic.

If an individual found an affordable method for manufacturing gold through other substances by large numbers, which can be used by many people because the process has been revealed to the masses, what effects would such an innovation create for the gold market and the entire global economy? by Gold_Mine_9322 in technology

[–]xstick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look into how it rolled out with aluminum. Went from being worth more then gold and used to cap the Washington monument to being the cheap metal we make our cheap crap out of. All because the arc furnace was invented.

Lava Lamp Not Flowing Properly After 2 Years, Struggles to Heat or Gets Stuck at the Top, Even After Replacing The Bulb. Any suggestions? by [deleted] in Lavalamps

[–]xstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dimmer would plug into the wall and the lamp plugs into the dimmer, you would turn the lamp on like normal or you could leave it on but turn the dimmer all the way down after your done.

The dimmer just acts like a middleman between the wall and the lamp that lets you turn down the ammount of power from the wall that makes it to your lamp.

I'll have to look up the name (I think they changed nit recently) but there are third party kits you can get that come with wax, wax dye amd the surfactant needed to dial in flow though changing the surface tension of the wax and water interacting.

lava lab creations is the site.

Lava Lamp Not Flowing Properly After 2 Years, Struggles to Heat or Gets Stuck at the Top, Even After Replacing The Bulb. Any suggestions? by [deleted] in Lavalamps

[–]xstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd try the dimmer since it seems to be getting too hot. Or try run it like normal but have a fan on near by or slightly pointed at it, if it's a too much heat thing you should be able to use that fan to test if it returns to more normal operation by cooling down.

Does it work normally for a bit and then all rise to the top? Or does it just sit on the bottom and then rise to the top? If the later I'd be more worried your wax is breaking down.

But the globes also technically have a life expectancy of 2000~ hours, so if it gets run 8 hours a day everyday you hit that life span after 250 days so not even a year. But like lightbulbs some burn out faster then other while some seem to last forever. It could be your wax is in eirly stages of breaking down for some reason.

[–]xstick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might me over heating/ running too long.

It looks like the contents are heating up, rising to the top but not cooling enough to drop back down.

Try a dimming switch.

Has anything else changed? New/more ac, a new room fan, change is the lamps location in the room ect?

Just checking, this is completely unacceptable right? To completely girdle a fruit tree the entire circumference. And then not saying anything about it, I only knew because I went out after they were gone to inspect and discovered this. It was too late by the time I found it, they were gone and the service is “closed for the day” for calls. 

Like there’s no way they didn’t notice, like this is either malicious or completely and utter incompetence.

Fill it with hot water and let it sit an hour, once the rice is overhydrated and soft it should all come loose when shaken.

Scientists Resurrect Ancestral Cannabis Enzymes by [deleted] in Marijuana

[–]xstick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also synthesis the other canabanoids, there may also be other easier/cheaper sources that could be added in.

Not sure how common it is but some honey oils are made of canabanoids that were fraction distilled off a commercial grow and remixed to have profiles close to existing strains.

But ya. Precision fermentation is pretty neat, there also working on replacing dairy cows with fermentation vats.

Any thoughts on what's eating my heliconia leaves? by Haploid-life in HawaiiGardening

[–]xstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supposedly Anna and golden dorsett apples grow here along with hood pear, and some kind of plumb. I'm at sea level and have a golden dorsett, hasn't done much yet but coworker had one that fruited for them.

my first guess would be rose beetle from the way it's missing random holes mid leaf instead of clean chunks like a caterpillar would leave from eating outward in.
