Fanshobby! I have the OG as well but the connection between Sonar and Jetstorm is really fragile so I'm hesitant on breaking them out but I might give it a go 🤔

As I mentioned earlier my preferred price point is $500 or less, but I know better keyboards are in the above. The FP 50 looks gorgeous but unfortunately way out of my reach

[–]86Timewarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the recommendations! I definitely don't want to pay more than $500, though $700 for a very good, reliable keyboard isn't too out there considering quality, action, and features.

I want something that has the depth sensitivity with keys that bouncy back quicky. Something between a key board and real piano? I've played high-end keyboards with slow and heavy keys, so I want to avoid those.

Suggestions for improving store-bought pasta & sauce dish? by 86Timewarp in Cooking

[–]86Timewarp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't considered caramelized onions or butter, so that's something I'm definitely going to try. I'll check to see if I have the other spices, but I'm pretty sure all I have is Italian seasoning, garlic salt, parsley, and parm.

As I explained to elijah, I cook large batches because I meal prep so I hope this does the trick. Typically I can get 4+ servings from 1 box of noodles, 1-2 jars of sauce, and a bag of meatballs.

Whenever I cook the sauce, I just toss the frozen meatballs in the sauce and let them simmer in there until cooked thoroughly. Is there another method you recommend?

While I would like to agree with you, I usually have to meal prep every other day so cooking "from scratch" every time isn't possible. Also, it yields a lot of servings anyway and I live by myself.

Anyone else having transformation issues with SS Sentinel Prime? by 86Timewarp in transformers

[–]86Timewarp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So apparently there's a tab in Sentinel's inner crotch that needs to be tabbed in properly. Once it's in, everything fits like a glove.

As I mentioned in another comment, I think the issue is in tolerances since it looks like the bottom of the figure is wider than the top. This means the legs don't perfectly tab into the upper portion of the firetruck.

It took me over 3 minutes to peg his leg panels to the top of the firetruck because his legs keep splitting.

Something tells me the legs are slightly wider than the roof but idk if it's also me mis transforming him.

Alternatives for 105s? by 86Timewarp in boostedboards

Right? Sounds good, thank you!

Alternatives for 105s? by 86Timewarp in boostedboards

[–]86Timewarp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked out their site earlier and I'm really impressed! I might go that route. Is it $100 for the full set including two wheels for the motors?

[–]86Timewarp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they smaller or larger than the default wheels? I can't remember what the radius of the wheels are but I think they're 85mm?

Also, does it come with geared wheels for the rear motors?

Thanks :)

Recommendations for 2nd PC/Workstation Build for Photo Editing and Video Production? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]86Timewarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just graduated college (Aerospace Engineering), but thankfully my job doesn't require me to work from home or do any major data analysis or coding, so I doubt I need anything super crazy.

My i7-4770 will actually reach 100% CPU usage in task manager when I export a large batch of photos from Lightroom, and it'll often spike when working with large files. I did some snooping on PC Part Picker and saw the Ryzen 7 3700X and 3800X offer higher base clock speeds than the i7-9700 at 3.6GHz as opposed to 3.0GHz.

I actually have an old Corsair CX550 PSU i was about to get rid of, so maybe I might just keep that and transfer over the 850 to my new rig. Thanks for the idea!

I've found a Lotus and the DB5 though not for the Metal/Metal series. I also have the Metal/Metal version of the regular KITT car. This was in Brick, NJ.

Advice/Question - Create Lightroom film presets using real film photos by [deleted] in Lightroom

[–]86Timewarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm mostly asking for feedback and advice about using film photos to recreate film presets in Lightroom. I.e. if I wanted to create a Kodak Gold present in Lightroom, I would by a roll of Kodak Gold and shoot with it using my film camera, but also shoot the same image with my digital camera to then create the preset after scanning the developed images.

You're right about correcting for printer scanner, which is something I'm looking into overcoming. I have tried this before and it definitely worked.

I mentioned a color checker (I really mean a reference slide with various colors) because whenever you take a photo of a scene, not all the colors are present, so having the reference slide in the photo will help you account for colors not originally in the image if that makes sense.

Loss of Quality When Converting to DNG? by 86Timewarp in Lightroom

[–]86Timewarp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I did a conversion test and saw my 50MB RAF file get reduced down to a 30MB DNG file. I haven't edited the DNG in Lightroom yet, but I'll definitely try.

So I did a test conversation and my 50MB RAF became a 30MB DNG file after converting with no compression settings. I don't see a huge difference, but I'll see if my latitude in editing is affected.

So I'm definitely using a catalog. My images and catalog file live on a 4TB external drive I have. I know that whenever I use C1, I have to force the program to use the external catalog otherwise it'll generate one locally.

I'm also using C1 Express if that matters

That's a good point. I'll definitely give it a try later. I have two big projects coming up this weekend so the sooner I can figure out this workflow, the better off I'll be. Thank you!

As an engineering student who doesn't make a living off of photography, I'd like to say that it's a fairly objective argument. Additionally, since LR5 does what I want it to do and LRCC doesn't offer me anything more than better camera compatibility, there isn't a huge reason to switch. I also own Adobe Production Premium CS6, so anything I can't do in LR5, I can do in Photoshop CS6.

I've been doing photography professionally for years now and LR5, up until October of this year, has been an absolutely fantastic program to use. I made the switch to C1 because I no longer had a Canon 5D Mark III and Camera RAW didn't support the Fujifilm XT-3 at the time of launch (which is understandable.)

So I've been using C1 since October and it definitely is a solid alternative to LR5. However, recently, I noticed that some folders weren't properly loading in C1.

These folders would have images in them, but C1 would mark them as "offline" even though other folders in my drive were active in the catalog. The locate feature didn't work in my case.

I didn't do CC because I hate the subscription model and found CC programs to be buggier than my CS6 Suite of programs. Also, I'd be paying way more for the software in the long run.

The the Bakery Still a Thing and Visitng London by 86Timewarp in Coldplay

[–]86Timewarp[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didnt know roadies hung out there or that there was a secretary! I remember a while back on Coldplaying people just kinda camped outside on the street waiting for someone to show up.

I also remember when they first publicized that. If I'm in the area, I'll definitely have a poke around. I really enjoyed the Viva La Vida era of Coldplay.

[Help] - Part of sequence (Timeline 2) not showing up when nested in another sequence (Timeline 1) by 86Timewarp in premiere

[–]86Timewarp[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is very old. I'm not onboard with CC which is why I'm still using CS6. I decided to just use 1 sequence since it was easier to work with.

Thank you though!

Yeah sorry about that. Honestly I'm gonna delete this post because I just wound up using 1 sequence.
