  • PSO2 NGS Micro-Stutter?

    PSO2 NGS Micro-Stutter?

    Are you having an issue with micro stutters in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis? Is the issue that you are experiencing a bit of lag randomly? A random hang up in the game where things just freeze and go back to normal? At first maybe you thought it was your internet, but you realized that that wasn’t the issue. Afterwards you think it’s your graphics settings and your realize that that was not the issue? Maybe you are also hearing the system sound of a USB device connecting and disconnecting every now and than too? You look at device manager to see what’s happening if anything odd is disappearing and reappearing, but can’t notice anything specific. Sorry for the preamble, but just wanted to make sure we were in the same boat.

    Here’s the fix. It’s in your power settings. In you advanced power settings find and disable USB Selective Suspend Setting. DONE. You should be good now. That was my fix. Not the internet or your graphics settings, some dumb setting that shouldn’t be on by default on a desktop.

    Here’s a visual guide.

  • Android Bluetooth Gaming Joypad (BSP-D3)

    Android Bluetooth Gaming Joypad (BSP-D3)

    Borrowed this image from a customer review. These colors just look so nice.

    I bought this Android Bluetooth joypad as a gift for someone. It’s a nice little device for very cheap. It has many options to be used across different devices, but it does so through button combinations which can get annoying if your didn’t keep the manual. Just for the sake of my own sanity I’m typing them down here.

    Modes:
    X-Input (Xbox Controller) = Power + Right Shoulder Button
    DS4 (PlayStation Controller) = Power + B
    D-Input (Android Input) = Power + Left Shoulder Butto    n

    Apparently this can also be used with the Nintendo Switch too! To do so…

    Nintendo Switch (Pairing Mode) = Power + Right Trigger
    The 1+2 lights will start flashing and you will need to the pairing section or change grip order setting. Once there you will need to click on both triggers on the controller to pair it to the Switch. It’ll show up as a pro controller.

    Hopefully this helps anyone else who will be looking for the different modes for pairing.

  • Test Code Take 2

    Another try with the form. This time around I have everything looking a little bit cleaner thanks to the section in the class I’ve taken recently. At least on the HTML side. This took longer than I liked because of some issues with the JavaScript, but to be fair I haven’t reached that far into the lessons yet. For future reference it seems if I ever want to work with decimals I’ll need to parseFloat and not parseInt.

    Changed the input from a textbox to a selection box. The values for the fractions are decimals in the option tags. Not sure if there’s another way to work with fractions otherwise.

    VSCode has Emmet integration, but I’m not sure how to make it spit out increasing number per option line. That would have been great to know. Side note to figure that out later.

    Again if you stumble into this blog looking for a simple form to calculate things feel free to steal this and modify it yourself.

  • Test Code

    The Form

    The code below is supposed to show the prices for different products based on the Length and Width of a screen entered.

    Length in inches:

    Width in Inches:

    The Code

    I cannibalized some code and here’s the end result. If anyone ever needs something like this feel free to grab it and modify

  • Web Dev Boot Camp

    Update: I quite the class. Maybe I’ll take it up in the future.

    If you’ve read the I’m a Stupid post than you might have correctly guessed I don’t want such a thing to happen again. So I started taking this Web Dev Boot Camp course my cousin casually mentioned to me in passing some time ago. I’m tired of being clever enough to know what a problem might be, but not enough to fix it. Everything is a surface level understanding with me and that has to stop.

    The class is going to cover HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a slew of other tools I can proudly add to my IT tool box. I’m hoping after this I’ll be a better than surface level nerd. I can’t fix problems beyond surface level. I mentioned that things breaking can be a good experience because you can learn from them, but if this happened to my bosses website that would be a painful ass lesson!

    Was hoping I would be able to convince my sister to take the class with me, but I think she was intimidated by it. She could definitely do it though, she’s way smarter than me.

    I am taking the class with my cousin though. That’ll do me real well when it comes to accountability. I tend to be bad at these self learning classes, so this time around I’m sure to finish it. He’s pretty bad at self learning too, so I’m sure it’ll do us both fantastic. We can carry this bridge together!

    I’ll share the link to the class here. https://www.udemy.com/course/the-web-developer-bootcamp/

  • I’m a stupid.

    Hello! I screwed up my blog again. This would be third time. The second time around I wrote some articles I was happy with. Now that’s gone. This time around I’ll try and be wiser this time around and actual back up my articles.

    Not sure what happened. Looks like an update to WordPress Core got corrupted and in trying to fix it I learned how to fix a different issue with plugins. That came in useful that same week, but haven’t found out how to fix that corrupted WordPress Core issue though.

    The positive view is that the more I break this thing the more I learn and can help friends with their problems. The down side is I still break my own things and that’s hella’ annoying. All good though.
