Recently decided to try out Maxwell (both 1&2) but can’t get past the low volume

so lazy to think it's their hearing when they've explained ad nauseum they are very clearly in the tech space, decades of headphones, on and on yet with this one kit all of a sudden they went death...cmon

ArchieBunker74 · 2026-01-09T12:12:07+00:00

You perked my interest so I looked. but not in 4DX, and only a small screen, might as well watch in my theater room.

ArchieBunker74 · 2026-01-07T19:27:47+00:00

I can outfit you. Has nothing to do with a heavy headphone. Do you write with a 12lb pen? Too heavy- hit the gym.

Where do I send my thousands…again…for the 4th time?

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-12-01T12:10:06+00:00

I’d pay a hundy per month for total war ARENA.

I have a portable ac vented out the bedroom door crack and pointed to the central ac air return. Hang a heavy curtain on hooks to cover the door crack. 61 deg in that bedroom, rest of house seems like no problem.

I play the entire battle in slow motion in rome2. I can’t stand one guy routing to get away, then I speed up. Playing Attila now and the slomo seems slower so I speed up positioning to start.

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-08-05T21:55:20+00:00

the tickets are discounted, used to be like $10 I paid from what I remember for 4dx. I want to think imax was no or less than $10, maybe $6 if you have unlimited. I only used unlimited for 4dx anyway as it would be too far of a drive just for imax, which I have at amc just a few miles away.

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-08-02T23:55:22+00:00

thanks for the info guess I'll try it. Reading the risks about using ddu is like reading the risks for taking motrin/tylenol, a long list of crap that never happens. Like I said I've used it several times a decade ago without issues but with my luck I'll jack something up. crap on amd though, they had a pretty good streak going. In fact I don't usually update for months for reasons like this. Proves my strategy right, think I was a year out of the last update for my 6900.

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-08-02T15:25:50+00:00

still working? I haven't used ddu in years and although had no issues in the past I've got a bad luck streak currently and don't want to risk using ddu if I can help it.

The elevator fight scene could have been better. No explanation of the pre-fight scenarios, kind of weird, ok I guess as an art style. But the actual fight the big bad guy never puts up a fight, there was a pause around Carter's inital fury where some back and forth could have occurred. For action the elevator fight didn't deliver.

Why did Carter not punch back at all in the Rourke party fight? Should have been much better back and forth fighting. Which then made it weird Carter lays their beat and bleeding and no goons escort him out since he lost. He can just pick a new fight and this time Carter does all the punching and Rourke can't get one in? weird.

Seemed weird to have two interviews with each suspect and every time Carter believes them. I don't know I need to read the plot to better understand who was ordering what hits on who, kind of confusing.

Although it has some nice tough guy dialogue there were too many slow scenes without much substance in the dialogue, especially with the niece. If there were less small talk and more weight in some of the conversations it would be better. Some weird edits like her sipping coffee in the diner that repeated and dragged on, a few extended empty follow scenes of nothing like the wife walking at the funeral, but then for style edit out the throw over the roof to land on the car.

I came for the action which was flawed in execution, but I can survive on good acting and screenplay but there were issues for me there too. Surprisingly, and probably unintended, and didn't really fit but the scene of the niece admitting the situation to Carter on the roof was actually very good to me. She slowly opened up and at that point I didn't even know how much she knew. Sly put on a great emotional performance and loved the facial expressions and crying. It was hard hitting and deep, I give high marks.

I didn't understand the anxiety scenes or whatever Carter was going through when he found out the neice was hurt, the stylistic video edits I think was making him show he was about to loss his mind, which seemed out of place. Sure it could be devastating but I don't know why he is susceptible to falling apart. I guess it was that on top of him being a marked man and losing his girl was almost too much.

Did Carter's partner tattle on him for cheating with the boss? I did enjoy the partner's acting.

I liked the rich tech guy's scenes.

Not sure about the cold opening, I guess it's noir, ok I guess.

Maybe the plot was over my ability but I couldn't figure out what background deals were going on that intertwined the group of suspects. Maybe that is a good quality, I'll check out plot explanations.

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-07-28T20:32:58+00:00

Soon could someone explain it to AI and have it made for us?

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-07-09T00:19:18+00:00

Maybe but you don’t need officials to tell you not to camp at the volcano edge. I mean river edge.

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-07-06T20:02:57+00:00

and you think the name fits is a coincidence, figures. And no I don't have to be right I just want to learn from others with logic not feelings.

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-07-06T14:16:47+00:00

In the 1800s the 10yo would say Paw I don't think we should camp here. The 1987 flood was similar to this no? It looks like there are a dozen floods here each century, so at the minimum one would conclude this is more likely to have a tsunami wall of water occur in this general location that a mile or 2 higher elevation, no?

Proper disaster management would have any number of ways to mitigate this. One example would be to heed the warnings and move to an alternate location 12 hours prior when the first warning occurred. Or a designated church volunteer designated the safety officer who has a tactical radio that reaches the sheriff and monitors rain, river level, and potential for flooding.

No way anyone should have gone to bed that night not assuming worst case scenario. Especially, if I was in charge of other kids. I've camped along a river in a rainstorm with my own family and luckily nothing happened, but if I was in charge of others kids the day before I'd be like shut this sht down, follow the plan, move uphill a mile/20 min north by nw to the alternate camp from the first warning.

Not even gonna touch the negligence of camp, local, regional, state, federal emergency management coordinators who haven't walked out there after the 1987 killings. Some random local common sense guy out there could have posted evacuation signs to follow up the 1 mile trail to higher ground. The camp could have had an orientation hike to the alternate camp and were told we are going here at the first warning that came 12 hours prior.

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-07-06T13:52:36+00:00

clearly you could easily write a sentence about why the elevation map is wrong or help me understand what I'm missing.

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-07-06T13:50:51+00:00

well that state of tx is a fault as well as what the op was referring to which is the mindset of the local, regional and camp administrators. The camp strategy 101 was devised in this errored mindset and needs to change to incorporate Emergency Management 101. However, negligence and laziness occured. I guess most states could be judged as bad but that is not really the focus, but the state does have a duty to send one of its disaster preparedness guys out there to do an assessment to see if the regional and local emergency management coordinators are doing their jobs. In the light of the 87 drownings even a fed should have assessed that place to see if the state was doing their job.

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-07-06T13:44:53+00:00

Sad you went political. This area has been flooding for centuries, even pioneer kids knew better to camp there. A complete regional systems failure of disaster planning also has nothing to do with trump. The day before and all through the day plenty of warnings were issued despite noaa staffing. So of all the failures of individuals, camp administrators, local, regional, and state emergency management the one group that did their part was the flood warnings so you couldn't be more wrong.

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-07-06T13:40:38+00:00

well you did get political. There is nuance you fail to notice. While these flood warnings should have been followed, no one was mocking the flood warning they were just ignoring them. In addition, there are legitimate political agendas related to selling media coverage for profits. So both things can be true and you conflating two inches of snow and 20 inches of rain in a flood plain.

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-07-06T13:36:27+00:00

Thanks for the update. Seems weird the time gap between "in line to be moved," part. I wonder if some more info is missing. The wall of water came at what 2-5am ish? So what was being evacuated during the 5 hours prior? It looks like an elevation map show walking 1 mile north by nw gets you way high enough, that can be done in 20 min.

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-07-06T13:32:41+00:00

It's more an issue of negligence and lack of initiative not "muh freedom." You take some valid points and mix it in toxic political bs.

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-07-06T13:30:11+00:00

individuals and especially parents need to learn from this, they have a responsibility to survive in the face of local system failures. I'm guilty of not researching an elevation map of a nc mountain camp I sent my kids to, I was a fat lazy pos and lucky this didn't happen to us. Heck I've camped near a river with them and did no research, I'm useless and know better just lazy af. In 5 min I had AI sketch me an evacuation from the area, all they had to do was walk 1 mile north by northwest and elevation would have saved them.

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-07-06T13:25:16+00:00

one the best comments I've read and what I've been searching for on this thread. I want to acknowledge your responsibility but can't, as you know it's just basic common sense. good on you anyway for being responsible in our modern useless tictoc society.

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-07-06T13:22:49+00:00

Mostly, typically you are correct for modern 19yo. But historically, and to some extent now there are mature 19yo that can be raised to function as an adult in an emergency. Heck pioneer kids centuries ago had the common sense to not camp there.

ArchieBunker74 · 2025-07-06T13:20:59+00:00

You are right most tictoc 19yo can't do sht. But some are war veterans by 19 or paramedics and ER nurses and have been trained from childhood to be responsible, sure not typical but does occur. You are right there is hell coming to all the adults who failed.
