stepee Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 No I googled that one when I saw hdr wasn’t working :P Andromeda and some others I figured out on my own! Now I know a few different tricks and can mess around with them to try to force the games that aren’t working with it. I hope Valve finds a way to streamline this all since it can obviously support hdr on far more many games than work by default, but right now it’s growing pains with getting hdr on linux. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't look at your particular plan but when I look at your area I can only see deals with Xfinity and they all say unlimited data with the cheapest plan being 200MBPS This might be something you would have to look into or inquire about yourself. Perhaps your parents are getting ripped off. I know some cable companies won't give you the new stuff unless you ask them about it. But again I don't know about your plan, just what I can see on the Xfinity website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 You have to always call comcast every couple of years or you are being ripped off. They likely can get a better plan for the same price or cheaper but they would need to call 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Just tell them that theat are getting ripped off because they are on the Biden government subsidized plan he forced onto people due to the climate hoax and the only way to get out is to call them and ask for a new plan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called on behalf of my parents a few years ago. I tripled their speed, got rid of their 50 GB data cap and cut their bill in half. 200 Mbits/s is OK - by contrast I’m on 1,500 Mbits/s. I’m usually limited by things upstream of my connection to my ISP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think better than average imo. Anything more than 100 is probably good (that's what I got with Cox and thought it was good at the time). I get 350 myself with Spectrum, but that's with calling the cable guy out to replace the cable. (Although it was around 300 I believe before I called them) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I think getting a new modem will be helpful - the speed is obviously not correct - it shouldn’t take all day to download 100gb - but for these huge games it would be good if you could at least get like 400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although it was around 300 I believe before I called them) In my area, the various tiers aren’t that different in price. I’m paying $85/month for 1.5 Tb with basic cable. The lower tiers weren’t eligible for the bundle discount, so it was actually cheaper for me to get the fastest available. But I have to call every 2 years to pretend I want to cancel to keep the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 To be clear, the $250 was for triple play because they still want a land line. So is that still to high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally being "grandfathered in" is locking you into a lower price. If the price is higher, fuck your grandfather, cancel and grandfather is out of the family and your new family costs you $100 less 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask for a supervisor. Tell them they have been a loyal customer for years and never missed a payment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is so much better than FF16. Even the music is better and the entire game is really nostalgic for me.

Not sure what reviews you are looking at but Intergrade has a higher meta than the original release with an 89 meta. Open Critic combines the ps5 version of FF7R with the ps4 version, then combines the pc version it seems with the ps5 Intergrade dlc itself or something so it’s confusing but still about the same score. It’s the exact same game but Intergrade has better graphics and an extra piece of dlc staring Yuri. That’s it, it’s a better version. Square just names shit weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
