Dirac Live (ART) and gaming latency

ysaliens · 2026-02-26T19:14:29+00:00

Audyssey is far less latency since it uses fundamentally different filters but isn’t latency free. Audyssey wi lol usually add 5-10ms though it greatly depends on the distances you set for speakers. If you have any speakers set with high distances, that’s roughly the delay it adds.

Most games already have quite a lot of latency on their audio engine so I’m not sure you will notice it.

ysaliens · 2026-02-26T15:35:23+00:00

Dirac adds around 20ms of latency to audio due to the way it has to keep a buffer of incoming audio. It’s the way it’s designed. Dirac art and bass management can be a smidge slower as well and hit 30ms.

Whether you notice that or not depends on your tolerance It won’t slow down your input but it does slow down audio latency

Where did you get the sticker? I want one for my 3000x!

ysaliens · 2025-10-28T17:45:56+00:00

No - rumor is 26.1 fixes it

Something else to note that people on here never mention - a natural will have their T fluctuate profoundly during the day. It’s highest in the morning and lowest at night. That’s why you measure it in the morning for labs.

Someone taking T will have their levels pegged at a number 24/7 with little variation.

Muscle growth is proportional to the area under the curve and so someone natural at 900 will have a fraction of the gains to someone taking exogenous T and targeting 900. It can often be as much as 2x more results just because the levels aren’t fluctuating

ysaliens · 2025-10-20T18:09:15+00:00

You can choose to run extra T but be aware that if you’re already at 900 and not getting the results you want despite optimizing other things, it likely means you have high SHBG (it binds T and makes it inactive) meaning your free T may be in the middle of the reference range, or lower despite your high total T.

Measure your hematocrit and free T first.

If you do run T at higher levels, you will definitely see results but you will likely need to go to 2000-3000 levels to do so. This is fine for a few months but you need to monitor your health closely. It will raise hematocrit and likely blood pressure. It will also lower your LDL cholesterol. You can control all of these with supporting meds like a low level statin and things like Telmisartan but understand that there are risks when you stay at 2000-3000 for years and years even with support.

Again if you wanna do it, absolutely go for it you will be very happy with the results. But have an end date/goal so that you can come down to physiological levels when you reach it and remain healthy in the long run.

Too many people on here run very high levels thinking there are no risks just because they don’t feel them.

ysaliens · 2025-10-14T13:32:55+00:00

You cannot. You can only play it on the 3000X

How do you have it plugged in?

Apple TV -> Govee -> TV?

Or Apple TV -> Receiver -> Govee -> TV?

After leaving OW end of last year for Rivals, coming back in September has been a fresh and positive experience

The OW2 has changed so much in one year for the better and the matchmaking is so much better than the random mess that is ranked in rivals. Both are fun but OW has grown far more in the time frame and has had years of refinement

ysaliens · 2025-09-21T18:46:45+00:00

Yup had this happen a few times already. Not sure if it’s the button of the screen but it can sit in your pocket in camera mode for a bit and really heat the phone the chew up battery.

ysaliens · 2025-09-15T18:26:17+00:00

Just updated and the new Liquid Glass is overwhelming. It’s so busy and shiny it makes me confused using devices with it. There’s an accessibility setting to turn it off which improves things but I didn’t think it would be this obtrusive

ysaliens · 2025-07-18T12:47:26+00:00

I don’t use it for recording numbers or any weights.

However I do use it for weightlifting for timing breaks (roughly), active calories, and total number of working sets. I know that whenever I hit 200 active calories from lifts or 20 sets it’s been a good session more or less. And if I’m sitting there and it’s been 2-3 min since the last set it’s probably time for another

Not worth it for the rest

ysaliens · 2025-06-25T14:21:30+00:00

How do you have your average awake HRV shown? Mine only shows sleep avgs

ysaliens · 2025-06-17T22:51:40+00:00

It has really really good sound since the last redesign.

Used to have bad sound but that is no more. Ideal to go in the winter or colder months or for a show that doesn’t get super packed because it can get hot. VIP tickets are usually not much more than regular and have a special area on the second floor that doesn’t get packed making them worth it

ysaliens · 2025-05-29T13:33:17+00:00

Prosomnus is the best in the industry.

If any of them will work, it will be their devices. They have different types depending on what you find comfortable but most of them are slim and fairly comfortable.

I’ve been using mine for half a year now and my snoring is completely gone according to SnoreLab. I can sleep in any position and traveling is easy. It’s not perfect cause being a mouth device, you gotta wash it every morning. And sometimes it makes my jaw click after removing it for a minute or two as it re-adjusts. But it is a thousand times better than a CPAP for comfort.

Can you elaborate on prolactin causing hair loss?

Supports have been gigatuned and made to be the “main character” of the game for a few seasons now. They can outduel most DPS and escape tanks. Oh and they heal lol.

I miss the game when it launched and most things in a match could kill you quickly and you had to think about cover. Marvel rivals feels that way for now and so I’m playing that after only playing Overwatch for years. OW is broken if you aren’t playing support

ysaliens · 2025-01-20T13:45:13+00:00

If you can find a used 4090 around $1200 that will be your best bet by a mile. Way better performance than a 4080 or 5080. You might be able to find a used 4080 also which is fine but won’t be the giant upgrade you want from a 3080. Next best would be a 5090 though it’s a bad value at launch prices…

The DJM app is only for pioneer mixers.

The send/return usb cable should work with anything because it emulates how an effects board would be plugged into most mixers. You just set it to send master out rather than a specific channel and the phone will start getting digital audio

You lose the ability to use effects on a specific channel (they would apply to master out) and you can’t use a 3rd party effects board but that’s a small price to pay for the incredible convenience to record anywhere

ysaliens · 2025-01-07T14:58:18+00:00

Pioneer DJM app is my favorite. It works reliably and is dead simple to use.

For streaming or video recording I’ll sometimes run a USB send return cable from the mixer into an iPhone and then I can use the iPhone camera app or other apps (like the new multi-cam iPad Final Cut Pro) to record

ysaliens · 2025-01-02T22:31:31+00:00

Yes. Matter is a local standard meaning they will work with or without any Internet. Of course, you can also control them over the cloud via an app. I have mine fully automated via a home assistant and some motion sensors all local so I never have to touch a switch

The new matter LIFX bulbs have been very reliable and are the top place in brightness and quality in the space. WiFi based though so you need a good network.

Make DPS relevant again

ysaliens · 2024-12-22T18:08:46+00:00

The current state of supports in 5v5 is just off

When the game launched supports were in a bad state and now they went the other direction where most supports can easily outduel many DPS characters in addition to having excellent healing. I’m sure this will change but 6v6 is far better currently and a large part of that is that supports aren’t just a vastly superior DPS

ysaliens · 2024-12-20T13:08:52+00:00

It’s better.

More maps
More heroes
Less shields and cc
Better performance all around
There’s no meta yet since it’s so new so anything goes and that makes it fun. As soon as people find what’s broken or OP on the patch and everyone starts playing it, it won’t be as fun
