Nickname got more and more accurate. A bum pitcher who is often mad.

Complaint Megathread by whyisthissticky in spotify

[–]AsmRJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know about anyone else but Spotify continues to randomly "enhance" my playlists with recommendations despite me never asking it to. That shit is beyond annoying when driving especially. I have to go back to my playlist, manually play a song from there, and set regular shuffle to on. It just picks and chooses when it decides to fuck with my playlist.

Great start by Shuster! I'm just across the river in South Carolina watching the Augusta Greenjackets. Up 5-2. Be nice to see em both take the W!

The Braves defeated the Rangers by a score of 6-5 - Wed, May 17 @ 08:05 PM EDT by Blooper_Bot in Braves

[–]AsmRJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd advise many people to stop watching for a while and just occasionally look at the scores to see how the game went. For far too long I have been one of those doomers when it comes to my favorite teams. Sometimes it'll still get to me (usually in the really important games), but overall after spending a good amount of time away from sports and realizing it's just a game and I'm the only one allowing it to affect my life, things have gotten way better. I can now just enjoy the good and shrug off the bad (although sometimes I still find myself getting too angry and I'll take a step back and refocus). Definitely not perfect but I think that my overall experience with sports is far better than it used to be.

Wild game. Also fun. Orioles are not playing around this season. I will be very surprised if they don't make the playoffs.

The Glorious Return of an Old-School Car Feature: Automakers are starting to admit that drivers hate touchscreens. Buttons are back! by SuccessfulOperation in technology

[–]AsmRJ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My 2015 Mazda 3 has the buttons but also has touchscreen functionality. Which is unfortunate as I recently had to pay around $400 because it began registering 'ghost' touches. The heat/sunlight eventually makes the adhesive loosen up and causes the touchscreen to register touches that aren't happening and making it a nightmare trying to use it. They said Mazda stopped using touchscreens due to this issue.

Does Netflix even know what 'live' means? I'm not surprised they're not prepared given the direction they've been going.

So what you're saying is, I should always have the sprint button held down? Got it!

I'll definitely vouch for US Mobile. I tested them out on my Pixel 6a while my 7 Pro was on T-Mobile. I don't dislike T-Mobile but I feel like they will randomly lose signal just whenever. One day you get ridiculous speeds on 5G and the next your signal sucks in the same location. I was paying $80 for unlimited data and can't remember the last time I needed more than 3-4 GB in a month.

I made the swap to US Mobile on my 7 Pro on their 100 day trial and the service and performance is exactly what I was getting on my 6a. Their 5G isn't as widespread as T-Mobile but the service itself has never given me a problem. Also fantastic customer service. After the trial I plan to get either the 5 or 15 GB plan. 15 GB is only $5 more a month so I may go with that. Either way I'm saving roughly $60 a month with no real loss in quality. US Mobile is a great choice if Verizon has good coverage in your area.

NCAA Revamped on PC keeps LAGGING by ThisFaithlessness902 in NCAAFBseries

[–]AsmRJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Due to the age of that motherboard it wouldn't be able to take any of the processors that are recommended. Does the game work fine without Revamped?

You'd be looking at a new computer entirely to really get the performance you're looking for and those would all hit above 500. Building one yourself can be much cheaper but not everyone is comfortable with that.

Well I can tell you right away that won't really cut it for RPCS3 on a stable level. Especially not for the recommended requirements. For recommended the processor should be Zen 2 or newer. Zen 2 came out in 2019. The FX 8350 came out in 2011. Recommends 8 GB of RAM which you do meet but it's always good to have more than the recommended. GPU isn't super strong but isn't bad either and likely isn't the cause of your performance. It's very likely the CPU as I have a desktop with a 10850k that hits over 50 % usage on RPCS3 and it's much stronger than an FX 8350.

Other things that can hinder performance in general are the old spinning disk hard drives. That computer definitely seems like an older one so I wouldn't be surprised if there's an HDD in there and not an SSD. But overall that computer doesn't really hit the mark for recommended specs all around. I feel like those performance issues are to be expected on that hardware.

I don't have a definitive answer but what are your specs?

Anyone else hit with dozens of phishing messages? by anythingall in iphone

[–]AsmRJ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep! I went to a 12 Pro Max at the end of 2020. That was my first ever iPhone. I enjoyed it overall. Especially iMessage since almost everyone in my family has an iPhone.

I got the itch to head back to Android last year and my dad needed to replace his 7 Plus. So I gave him my 12 Pro Max and have been on the Pixel 7 Pro for a bit now. When it comes to spam calls and texts, Android just wrecks Apple. I'm almost never bothered by them on Android while every single one was getting through on the iPhone. There's also other small things like being able to use uBlock in Firefox on Android. Love that.

SMS definitely stinks but I bought a used iPhone SE for iMessage with my family. So I've got the best of both worlds now.

Post WWE Elimination Chamber 2023 Discussion Thread by Coldcoffees in SquaredCircle

[–]AsmRJ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I very much enjoyed this PPV. Lesnar/Lashley didn't go at all how I thought it would but everything else was a blast.

I also feel like they could have handled Sami v Roman differently. I think it should have been a non-title match. Now of course with this taking place in Montreal and being Sami a lot of people will disagree and that's definitely understandable. But I think Sami could have taken the victory in a non-title match while keeping Roman champ at Mania.

Sami never wanted anything from Roman. The title never crossed his mind. I like the idea of Sami challenging him just to teach him a lesson and stand up to him. With it being non-title, Sami picks up the victory. Roman has been pinned for the first time since December 2019.

That's where you start adding the Roman paranoia even more. He's already been losing his cool with The Bloodline falling apart. Now he's been pinned for the first time in over 3 years and it was by the guy who he says broke up his family. Roman unhinges even more and it leads to his demise at the hands of Cody at Mania.

I don't think everyone would agree as many may argue that weakening Roman like that doesn't make Cody look good with the victory. I'd argue though that weakening one of the longest reigning champions of all time is exactly how you put a stop to it.

Anyway, sorry for the novel everyone lol. Just was thinking about how Sami could have his moment while the storyline remains hot.
