Context: playing at 4k with Oled and HDR enabled(with a properly tuned profile), not using reshade+renodxr yet, but most likely will.

Rig: 9800x3d, rtx 5080(most recent driver set after a DDU), 64gb ddr5 cl28 6000mhz ram, running on a NVME ssd

HDR settings: Shadow point set to -10(default at -4 is crushed blacks everywhere), gamma at 45

(sidenote: if you want S2 to look more STALKEResque, decrease saturation slightly).

Rarely getting crushed blacks after moving it to -10 which is good. Biggest issues are lighting bugs or shadow bugs and surprised so many people are praising this update's lighting.

Some issues I'm noticing:

1. Shadow boiling/fogging, getting this with and without DLSS

Really interested in Seapower in general, seems up my alley but been addicted to sub games(coldwaters with dotmod, and uboat) and books recently. Is it viable/possible, to kinda play this sub only? How's the level of sim?

Modern Naval Warfare I was holding out on as the actual sim details seem incredible, but released in a truly alpha and bad state so waiting a while(prob a year+).

When the new gen supra was announced I thought it was ugly and a big disappointment, someone at my work ended up getting one and realized it was mostly the pictures not doing it justice and it's actually a great looking/sounding car in person. But still held a grudge lmfao.

Found a modified one for sale on the side of the road for cheap so decided to just build a class A timeattack out of it. It's about 1.5-2 seconds slower so far than my highly tuned NSX's/s2k, around on par with my r33/300zx tunes, however I think I can get another .5 seconds out of the tune, and maybe another .5 from better driving(it's always fucking raining/snowing when I'm doing time attack runs).

But honestly she so

Was thinking about this lastnight as I finally got a tune I was happy enough with to share, but I've tuned it to how I like with a FFB/pedal setup and if let's say a MKB user tried using it, it'd most likely be awful.

Additionally, if you've tried a tune done by someone with a wheel on a controller, did it feel good? or was something off. Vice versa?

I've never really downloaded other tunes, I've always done my own even when I didn't know what I was doing lmfao so not sure from the general user side if they would prefer specified.

Time attack has been great for testing tunes and learning on wheel and pedals though

Looking for an upgrade next year from my VKB glad nxt evo, and really it seems only the orion 2 F-16EX fits my desires but I reallllllllly want to avoid this company from a support and quality control issue perspective.

Really want the flankr premium from virpil but the button loadout for nato birds even with the swaps is a lil restricted. Unless maybe I'm missing something, but I'd really love a front 3rd 4way.

Ideally 4way(with press if possible, not necessary) for CMS

2+ 4-way hats (tms/dms/other) on the front

1-2 axis slews, one for trim with press if possible, other for whatever.

Wheel brake paddle/axis would be nice but not needed.

I love VKB, but them and virpl usually add the

TL:DR = How long on a lean bulk without the average weekly weight moving should I wait to adjust calories? Currently waiting around 2 weeks of daily weigh in tracking and normalizing that data with an app(fitia). Aiming for .2lb a week.

Context:

5'11" 165lbs between 12-15% bf, hard to fully tell with the loose skin around my hips but veins on the abs/ribs/lats/front calves.

Just finished out my cut and looking to slowly bulk back up to 180-185 to then have a short cut again after. Don't mind it taking a year or longer, so if I need to spread out my calorie adjustments that works for me.

Slowly increased my calories to a weekly average of 3100(2900 on low days 3300 on high) right now(250

I know some people hate leg doms, but I hit them twice a week and rarely get anything more than a general numbness or tenderness. However after my hamstring focused day if I lean against a table or something it can be spicy.

For me it's lats and rhomboids/traps, especially when combined. Damn near got stuck putting on my seatbelt tuesday, and worse when my 100+ lb GSD tries laying on me and I'm too sore to fight back properly and lift him away.

Anything I should be aware of about this monitor? Or anything coming soon I should wait for(WOLED)?

It checks almost every box for me and went on a steep sale today($839):

1. WOLED, I pretty much ignored HDR till recently and was blown away on the qled what it looks like and having a true-ish black level but realized with ambient light it shifts to magenta/red and kinda dulls the colors you get from the qled benefit. Couldn't really notice it till I swapped to HDR almost full time and the difference between gaming/content at night and during the day is dramatically different(have blinds across all my windows, but have 2 skylight windows that add ambient light). I'd rather have a dimmer con

Started off small with just RTX HDR but now I'm running RenoDXR + Illum. Not sure if Reddit can handle JXR files containing the HDR data. But for those that have hdr and want to see them I can provide that.

The woven targeted maps are great, especially the nemesis tower and shrine maps. The upgrade weapons at the end of the nemesis tower seems really cool although I haven't used them yet and tested the upgrade function.

Even if you don't have any idols to enhance with weavers will, the tombs are a great loot pinata run with exiles/shrines/lizards/nemesis/extra echo rewards.

These benefits make it not dead content once you "max" your idols.

I do wish however, we could modify the woven idols dropped in them, think that'd be a fun addition to let's say empowered monolith tombs only as they're pretty strong but not as strong currently as modified class idols for builds.

The passive tree is al

Currently enjoying a mix of arkveld/gore/Jin Dahaad pieces. Can't wait for layered weapons but that probably won't be for 8-12 months unless we get lucky with a TU sadly.

And my lance build if you're curious, still missing some decos and trying to make my dragon artian lance(have so many poison, para, and lightning rank 8 parts). Skills on the second page are stamina related and shockproof. Res's are inflated from a food buff.

Good mix of comfortability, an
