What content is worth buying after playing base game edf5 and 6?

I have played all of edf6 and about half of 5, (yes I know that makes no sense). I still crave new edf content so plan on getting edf6 dlc. Would edf5 dlc be worth getting? What about getting 4.1?

EDF6: Question on the Primer Motives

If the the primers >!kill humanity to prevent humanity from affecting their future and creating a paradox, why didn't they just kill humanity the second humanity found their ship in India? I presume they couldn't do this before the India ship because that would create a paradox, correct? Is it also established that they made a mistake by interacting with humans in ancient times and they just hoped that the meddling in ancient human does not already jeopardize their existence, up until they realized humans found their ship?!<

>!Is it also true that if the professor had died at all during edf6 humanity would have lost because Storm 1 would have to trigger the time loop by themself to save the professor, who would be back at square one with zero memories. If this played out, would the primers of gotten enough time loops to kill humanity before the professor could regain enough experience? Also why didn't shooting the control module at the end of edf6 cause another time loop? Did the primers figure out we were doing that and prevent it?!<

Aperture grille monitors where the vertical stripes are clearly visible from normal distance?

Do any such models exist? Like a vga monitor, not 480i as I cannot stand the buzzing sound. I'd also prefer it be smaller so no hd crt but I would go upto 27 inches or so.

Best Screen Surface for Old Tube Projector?

I see forums saying 1.3 gain white screen is good for tube projectors since they are dim. Considering these are so dim, why are higher gain screens not recommended? I see some other mentions of things like torus screens for insanely bright images, but it seems to not be the default choice? Also see some screens seem to take light from edges of screen and bounce it back at user. This seems cool but I am unsure if sweet spot would be too irritating as I hate off axis color shift.

With the Projector Binge on the Channel, How About One of the best CRT Projectors to Exist?

Marketplace - Best Offer - Video Display Systems 38-P15285-LB CRT Projector - Marquee 8500 Longbow | Facebook

This one is apparently rated for 240mhz pixel clock and take this with some salt but from what I read was used for military flight sims (hence Longbow on the projector). That is an absolutely nuts amount of bandwidth for a crt projector, as even the best consumer ones was like 100mhz. that would allow 1920x1080@81hz without softness, or even higher with interlaced resolutions. If it functions similar to regular crts you should be able to exceed that pixel clock for way higher refresh rates as the horizontal scan rate is also equally high, even higher than the fw900!

Failed Pre-suitability But was Not Told Why?

I was told over email that I should be getting email shortly on why I failed but it has been nearly a month and no such email was sent. I got the email within 24 hours of my medical checkup and I mentioned I am on sleep meds that do not really help at the checkup. Can't help but wonder if that has something to do with it.

Is there something I can do to see why I failed considering they said they were going to tell me?

Will 60 nit projector look bright enough in a truly black room?

I am looking at a crt projector in the year 2026 because I like the motion clarity they provide. I understand this will be a short lived experience due to tube life. My regular crt goes to 100 nits and I read this projector only goes to like 65 nits. That seems like it would look horrible, however currently I can still navigate my room at night due to outside streetlights and it has me wondering if I truly tried to block all light in my room and even get some light absorbing materials, if the 65 nits might look comparable to the 100nits I am okay with the slightly elevated light levels in my room now.

What do you think can a truly close to black room make 65 nits look bright enough or can that difference never be made up?

Would something like Zenith Pro 895x Front Projector be noticeably better than xbr960?

I have an xbr960 and there are things that annoy me about it like the magic carpet and geometry. It also is only around 1280x720p in real resolution since there is only 1400 rgb stripes on the face. I see a projector near me and from my search it can handle 1080i@70hz so this seems like it might be flat out better since it is not limited by phosphor stripes, assuming I can accommodate it. The one thing though is brightness, and I like how vivid my xbr960 looks but I am worried a projector will be flat looking in brightness by comparison.

I also know the projector will be short lived due to bulb life.

Anyone have experience with crt projectors like Sony VPH-D50HTU?

I'm a crt-stan for their motion and really want something bigger than my monitors, and tbh my xbr960 kind of sucks compared to the crt monitors as it only has enough real rgb phosphors for 720p. This leads me to crt projectors which from my calculations, the Sony VPH-D50HTU can go upto 1440i at 84hz, but I have no way of knowing if the signal chain can actually handle this pixelclock properly as I have seen some crt monitors that look horrible even with bandwidths well within the specsheet while others look great.

Do crt projectors have any dramatic downsides compared to modern projectors besides resolution? I am watching technologyconnections video on a crt projector and he says he noticed elevated black levels from what he thinks is light bouncing around inside the tube itself? I also read projectors in general have poor blacks. Do you think the crt projector has even worse black levels than modern projectors due to this light bounce even though direct view crts are known for good black levels?

Are crt projectors just a bad idea in general? They are pretty expensive, but I know I already like crt tech itself but don't know if projectors will hold up the same as my high end monitors.

Is adjusting porch of monitor safe?

I read you can get much higher resolution and bandwidth by reducing the porches. Is this dangerous? What if I set them to like 1 on the vertical and horizontal to get the most?

Can a reshade filter be made to reduce interlace flicker effectively?

I like using interlaced resolutions on my crt monitor because it lets me go to higher refresh rates. However, it has very annoying shimmering when any motion is present. I found antialiasing like taa makes this shimmering really hard to see but taa also makes the motion noticeably worse than no taa. I kind of have been dealing with the taa motion drop, but I learn the wii had a interlace flicker reducer, and I wonder if something similar could be made for reshade, and if so if it would have to noticeably degrade static image quality? Because taa like dlaa does not really degrade the static image to my eye, so ideally, I'd want a interlace flicker filter to not make it drastically worse like the wii did.

I'm guessing this does not exist so how would I go about trying to make something like this for reshade?

is the difference between pitch-black room and dark but bright enough to see everything significant ifor contrast and vividness?

I read an article saying even like 20 nits ambient light reflecting onto screen can put contrast ratios at worse levels than decades old tvs that are properly in a pitch-black room. Well, I happen to be using one of those decade old monitors (crt) for games and it only gets so bright. I found it very vivid looking in my room at night even with the light that leaks in from outside. There is streetlight right outside a giant window and my curtains don't block it well. I can still see everything in my room at night once my eyes adapt. Do you think it would look insanely better if I actually had a pitch black room?

Can cat spray on power supply allow pc to still function but be unstable?

My cat sprayed onto the rear of my pc months ago and I am decently certain some of it got into the power supply vent. I have since rebuilt my pc with new parts except the power supply. However my pc on both the new and old pc has this issue where sometimes once I sign in I cannot open any application unless I am really fast, and even then, the apps don't work and require multiple pc restarts before it works. My pc has also recently developed a new problem where I think the constant force shutdowns is damaging my pc as I sometimes get repair menus on start up now. I'm thinking about buying a new power supply as I don't want to break everything else in my pc.

My current desk space makes it so any time I want to use this I have to move it onto my desk and back since it takes up so much space. I do this around twice a week. I have to wonder, is it likely this constant moving could collapse the vacuum? I have heard of vacuum seal being ruined before.

I am playing Earth Defense Force 5 and it is a proprietary engine. Meaning stuff like msaa doesn't work even though it looks like a ps2 game you would think it would. Is there any way I can get it working via external things like reshade or if it does not work in gpu driver it won't work with reshade?

I read somewhere that ogssaa/sgssaa is actually superior to dsr? Is this true? I have been using dsr+msaa with good results but now I am wondering if I should be trying ogssaa/sgssaa if I am going to be using huge msaa factors? It seems really complicated to use these methods outside dsr so I am hoping it's not true.

If I can use sg/og ssaa it opens up the door to use it WITH dldsr. Do you think maxing dldsr into the mix could result in better or worse quality? I'm thinking it might actually result in worse since supersampling might try and enhance a sharpened pixel over just a more accurate pixel?

I noticed today that when I click the back and forward button to switch between two different searches on google there is afterimage of text and all other info. I never noticed this before. It is not regular stroboscopic as I do not see this on youtube search bar which also has white on dark text. I find it odd as I never noticed this but am really attuned to image artifacts. Has this always been like this or is new?

It reminds me how you always see artifacts with ai video but can't exactly place it and to be frank I know this makes me sound like I'm wearing a tinfoil hat, but I find it very concerning that I am seeing that behavior on googles search page. Like, are they trying to normalize that sense of motion not being quite right?
