So, with fighting games, because of Variable Refersh Rate, it synchronizes GPU scan out, You can use say 360hz for a 60fps fighting game.
Instead of completing scan-out using the whole length of time before Vblank, You get the whole image to scan out at 1/6th of 60fps (if you're at 360hz vrr).
That is, Each frame is drawn FASTER.
The net effect is tighter controls, a CRT-esque fighting game feel.
So, Tpoor4's 144hz screen, each of the 60-frame of guiltygearstrive is painted on the screen within 6.94ms, rather than 16.67ms

Ergonomics / Re: The PalmPuk (with MS Paint graphics)
« Last post by PandaKB on Tue, 14 July 2026, 20:38:08 »I’d highly recommend going with the black version. I bought the white one before, and it had some tiny black specks and impurities on the surface—probably from dust or debris getting into the mold during production. I actually had to exchange it a few times just to finally get a white one that was basically flawless.Spot on, that's exactly the one!
...
It's definitely worth a try!
Thanks for your response...
I gonna order one for testing!

Keyboards / Re: Three keys dead, how to fix?
« Last post by PandaKB on Tue, 14 July 2026, 20:34:05 »Try plugging the board in and shorting the two switch pads directly with a pair of tweezers:
If it registers a keypress: The PCB circuit itself is fine. The issue is likely a cold joint on the pads, or the metal contacts inside the socket aren't making proper physical contact with the switch pins.
If it still doesn't register: Check the diode associated with that specific switch. It might have a bad solder joint or be dead/damaged.

-Hell Mode
-Doctor Stone S3
-Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You
Tp4 had high hopes for Stone, but it's leaned so much into nonsense, it's no longer remotely plausible.
Smoking, instant bored
Hell Mode, not annoying, but it doesn't make sense that the main character couldn't scale his abilities much faster.
Only ever heard of dr stone and yea, got bored of it but wasn't too bad. Wife finished the series.
Dorohedoro season 2 is all that matters

To a politician, or a capitalist CEO, an Economy that produces a bomb or a washing machine is the same.
THIS IS NOT TRUE from the citizen's perspective.
It would seem like, grimini is happy to sacrifice their citizens on the alter of war-capitalism. Interesting...
