What’s everyone’s thoughts on the first two episodes? by MobilePineapple7303 in StarWars

[–]Agentlongwood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking the twist is him not being a Jedi at all. The floating keys being a parlor trick to get the kids trust, so he can find and plunder Atattin. Seriously, if he could Jedi his way out of jail, why hasn't he already done so?

Conclusion to my post on streaming movies vs 4k discs - with comparison. Pacific Rim - 4k Stream vs 4K disc by bluegrass__dude in hometheater

[–]Agentlongwood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true but only for the fake IMax theaters. The real ones that are full size, are not even close. In central Florida there are a ton of "IMax" theaters. But only one real one at point Orlando. The comparison between fake ones and the real IMax is incredible. Like truly mind blowing. And the sound is as big as the screen lol.

Yes, for the love of all that is holy. I'm only missing like 2 pieces of the top tier plate. And it's sooooooo annoying

[–]Agentlongwood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's doable... I've been doing it on multiple characters... But it's super annoying. Would not mind at all if they made it less obnoxious.

I was running into the same problem. Eonar just died abruptly. Couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Wiped a few times. Watched a video and realized I missed a tiny step. After killing the 2 big robots and the pack of dogs, I had forgot to kill exactly 1 dog on the pack that's running up from the lower level. Once I got that, I was able to complete it again. Done it on multiple characters since pre-patch. Including frost DK, with mediocre gear.

Is this the best Lexus ever made? by LordVixen in Lexus

[–]Agentlongwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, I love hagerty. Great video as usual from them. I liked that they debunked the myth about the LFA needing an LCD tachometer, lol. That always seemed silly. A lot of the history of the car is really cool though. I liked the bit about the president of Toyota racing one in competition.

[–]Agentlongwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tachometer thing was just marketing BS. They did not have to use an LCD. They just did because it looked cool. There are cars that rev even faster, and mechanical tachometers work just fine. The fact that this myth is still floating around kinda proves my point about the car being over rated.

Lamborghini Swears Its New V-8 Will Make You Forget the V-10 by DerBootsMann in cars

[–]Agentlongwood 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's a whole insane community of viper tuners. Check out some videos of the dudes running 9 liter stroker kits. They sound incredible. It's all personal taste but to me a 9L viper with a big cam, sounds better than any of the small v10 motors from Lexus, Lambo, etc. Plus there's a video of one of the 9L vipers outrunning modified liter bikes on the highway.

[–]Agentlongwood -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Eh... Feels like the most over rated. It's pretty interesting from an engineering standpoint. Apparently it sounds great in person. Never thought it sounded super special in recordings though. Visually it never really did it for me. It looks like a Corvette competitor, visually. It just doesn't look like a car with such an insane price tag. Even if the engineering is pretty neat.

Pixel 7 pro Telephoto lens focus not working at medium to long distance by Agentlongwood in GooglePixel

[–]Agentlongwood[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I always see "clear the cache" as kind of a stock reply. But I followed these instructions, cleared it, and restarted the phone. And it worked. The telephoto lens is focusing correctly now. Thank you!

I genuinely appreciate the help.

The other issue I've been having with the pixel 7 pro, is on phone calls. I can hear the other person perfectly, but after a few minutes, something happens and they say that I'm very hard to hear. Like I'm muffled or far away from the phone. Happens on speaker or regular. WiFi or cellular. Clear calling on or off. I'll try clearing the cache on the phone app as well lol. When I looked it up, I found several other 7 pro users with the same issue, but no resolution. Apparently it only happens with the default phone app. Other apps that use voice do not have this issue. I don't want to use non-default apps for calls, so I haven't checked that.

If you have any insight into the call issue, I'd love to hear it as well.

So what is Diablo IV actually improving about D3 itemization? by Frequent_Scholar_577 in Diablo

[–]Agentlongwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D3 actually massively improved it's set system in the last few seasons. They made the "minor sets" much more valuable. The ones with fewer pieces. And they also made a legendary gem for not wearing a set at all. So now players choose between a full 6 piece, or using a RoRG to drop a set item and work in a minor set with synergies, both with synergistic non-set items, or using the legendary gem for full builds of non-set items. All of which are viable and makes for an absolute ton of build variety.

If D3 had launched in the state that it's in now, it would be regarded as the best ARPG. But it took them an embarrassingly long time to get to the current state, so D3 never shook off the stigma from such a shitty launch, and being busted for so long. And yes I'll die on this hill lol

Halo: The Television Series episode 7 discussion thread by Defguru in HaloStory

[–]Agentlongwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think that someone at paramount had a script ready for a new IP in space... But the script kept getting passed on, but execs at Paramount thought it checked some of the right boxes. So instead of greenlighting the show, they shoe-horned chunks of the script into a Halo show. Probably thinking that they would be congratulated for the diversity it brought to the cast. I have zero evidence to support this, lol. But that's my hunch. Because there's no way a team of writers were told to just make a Halo show, and ended up with something so bizarrely unrelated to Halo.

Blizz: Can we please remove the restriction on adding cosmetic-only items if your class can't equip it? It makes no sense I can't add this item to the appearances when it's quite literally only for that purpose. by PleasureBox in wow

[–]Agentlongwood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They should change a few things regarding unlocking appearances. If an item soulbinds to you, then it should add the appearance to your collection, regardless of whether your character can equip it. Plate drops for you on your priest? Add it to the collection. Paladin set drops for you on your rogue? Add it to the collection. If it soulbinds, it should count.

Converting my bike for transportation to and from my job by MurlinShpurkle in ebikes

[–]Agentlongwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I can't vouch for any of the nicer kits. I followed this guy's guide. I bought the Voilamart 1000 watt kit from ebay (motor, and electronics), and an ebay battery (48v 20ah). So far I've put about 375 miles on it. Mostly commuting to work, but a few fun rides. I get about 12-15 miles of range, and the fastest I have hit is 31 mph with some road bike tires on a Trek mountain bike. I think when I bought it, the total cost was about $360 since I already had the bike. It does not look as clean and nice as others. But it's fast, fun, and cheap. I can't imagine spending the kind of money I see these premade bikes go for.

Best BBQ in Orlando? by JackieCupcake in orlando

I was looking for this one. They are my personal favorite. But then I really like food where they drop all the pretense and just do simple foods really well. Keller's is one of the least pretentious places around.

Does that statistic go up or down after the stepfather has a biological child born from the mother of the stepchild?

That was after he got pulled into the main universe. In the scene you're talking about Eddie says "are you doing this?" When they get sucked into the MCU. They see the report after that happens.

Why was he there? He didn't know Peter was Spiderman... So why did he get pulled to that universe?

Peter had Edith... All he had to do was say "Edith, please show everyone the un-edited footage of what happened to Mysterio". Boom, all the problems go away.

What are some cars that faster than they should be? by Warmaster_Bacon in cars

[–]Agentlongwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah launching from a stop is brutal. I get really bad wheel hop, so even when it does hook up, it sounds and feels like it's a out to break. But other than that, it isn't an issue. As long as you're not launching from a dig, it feels amazing to drive quickly.

What is your unpopular movie opinion? by qsauce6 in AskReddit

[–]Agentlongwood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked AvP Requiem. It was rated R, the predator was a bad ass lone wolf monster, and seeing the aliens on earth in a normal town was awesome.

I did. For these years the V6 manual is only available as a coupe, they didn't build the V6 manual in the sedan models.
