    @Vorph Does PS4 Remote play also play the game on the TV the Ps4 is connected too? Not really a problem because it can be showing the game, while family uses the TV for other stuff on different inputs.

    Home Improvement

    Family friends down in Phoenix finally were able to get their remodel started after COVID delays by their contractor, so that means I was finally able to get the entire kitchens worth of cabinets to finish my remodel. Also while there, they decided not to keep the granite countertops, and so I...

    Which computer chair do you use? Needs to be poopsock viable

    I've gamed using a recliner before. For long sessions, it wasn't bad, but a pain in the dick if I had to get up over and over again. It was like getting into a cockpit, but once in, I gotta say it was pretty damn comfy. And yes, I was playing EQ for most of the time that I had the recliner...

    I get mine tomorrow, and we'll see. I ordered a DP1.4 cable, which is supposed to have the bandwidth to support 8k. I think 32gb/s or something, so I'm confident that this should be enough. Really excited, because man, it's so annoying having those blackouts!

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    Man, I haven't been in a situation where I could actually use external speakers in so long I can't even remember. I sometimes long for the days when I had a decent sound system on my computer and I could crank it up every once in awhile, but these days that's not possible with kids, etc.

    Just using an Amazon Basics DP cable, as the one that came in the box for my old 27" 1440p 144hz was said to be terrible. Worked great on that screen without any issue, but doesn't seem to work so great on this ultra wide? Gonna try a different cable and see. Edit: Ordered a DisplayPort 1.4...

    Well, it's working a lot better than it has in the past, but it still has the black screen cut outs. Gonna order a new DP cable I guess, and try that?

    Fingers crossed. I just flipped the cable ends, and also switched DP Ports on my 1080Ti, and no flicker in Battlefront 2 on first go. Sooooo... maybe something changed, or the cable was weird? who knows. Edit: Just set it to 100hz and then 60hz, and Battlefront 2 was still blinking at me, so...

    Come on. Quit being a cheap ass. You'll spend thousands on new screens but $60 and you need some kind of fun guarantee? It's not game of the year, but it's not bad. Very middle of the road that by the way the developers have responded will only get better. Buy it! BigCrone on Ps4, who wants to...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yea, I have Stormblood, and so just need ShB. SE does those half priced sales sometimes, and so I figure Daid was just quoting one of those that was going on at the time. I should have bought it then! Oh well.

    Never pay full price for anything if you can avoid it and are not in an emergency situation. Check slickdeals.net for everything!

    PotD/HoH still a thing? I got a lot of jobs to 70 doing that, and yes, the anus bleed was real, but it was like the fastest leveling path there at the end of StormBlood.

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    So when he's awoken in OW, all DZ's change over to the new version as well? I had heard rumors that DPG was going to change how the awakening of The Sleeper works to give people more time to experience the pre-woke version of the raid zone?

    For my new AOC Ultrawide, I've had to go with program-specific settings, versus global settings. Like turning on Gsync compatible, and AA 16x settings. I'm running at 120hz, so I'm gonna try your method, and hard set it for 117 max, and try that out.

    I feel this is an issue with portable devices in general. My phones for years will hang onto shitty wifi signal as I'm leaving the house so I'm down the street before Spotify or more annoyingly before Google Maps will work. There's apps that will auto switch you, but I found out that sucks worse...

    If I start out with a pre-made team, am I going to gimp myself? I'm sure there will soon be, if not already, some min/max guides out there, but does it really matter? Was just going to go with the father/daughter team to get some melee + sniper action going? That bad?

    My local McDonald's finally got spicy mchicken sandwiches recently, even though the chicken patty they use I feel is no different than the one used in the breakfast sandwiches. Pepper is their spice of choice to make it "spicy", so who knows.

    Took my first one this morning. I don't feel really any different here at work compared to when I drink an energy drink. I'm feeling a little warm, so something is probably happening. I'm not bouncing off the walls though but I'm used to this much caffeine.

    Exactly this. Why the hell are all you pussies whining about power supplies and crying that you might have to replace your 500w baby? If you hadn't been a cheap ass in the first place and gone with an appropriate wattage, you wouldn't be having this problem!

    I use all the built in Smart apps, and nothing external on my C6 model. Used to be the C vs B in the model number was curved vs flat screen. So anyway, given that I use Plex and everything else built in, it looks like I'll be fine with the B model probably. Saves on average like $500.

    So LG OLED lovers, have you heard much about the 2020 models? The CX vs BX models. B stands for "budget"! the B-series loses out on the new A9 chip with AI upscaling. Is that something most people will care about? I don't know.
