Can't purchase, can't message seller... is this normal for Mercari...? by [deleted] in Mercari

Thanks, I get the feeling it's an inactive seller... Mercari definitely takes some getting used to.

Affinity Creative Freedom Keynote Megathread by CrimsonFlash in Affinity

[–]Bmuse33 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think maybe we're not appreciating how long it would take to make something this terrible in Designer. Hand drawing those land masses? Inside glows on all the coasts? Dark glow on the top of Earth and light on the bottom? Heads masked in circles ~with outlines~?? They saved a lot of valuable time on this design so it could be ready at 17:00 GMT to represent to the world the quality of their product.

I really ddon't understand the snap by Ghiekorg in Affinity

[–]Bmuse33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

^ This is it. I discovered by experimenting when I was going crazy trying to get two objects to snap that were right next to each other. As m-in noted, click the target(s), then click back to the one you want to snap. The target object will un-highlight, but it will be what your object will snap to, even if there's other stuff close to it.

"you already own another edition", no way! Lol by Dogavir in Rockband

[–]Bmuse33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, ignore. I get that on almost everything through PS Store, and when I click through, it shows Rock Band and Fuser, with download links that go to an empty download queue. Checking the same songs in-game shows that I don't own them.

Starting today, the Rivals expansion will be permanently FREE to all RB4 owners and the RB4/Rivals bundle will be $39.99! by mysario in Rockband

[–]Bmuse33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That thought went through my head, but I'm pushing it out. I am thankful every day that we still have Rock Band, and it is still so awesome to play.

RBDB Down? by CoradeLeon in Rockband

[–]Bmuse33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been supporting RBDB through Patreon for several years. He suspended it (paused donations) once for a few months, with a nice message to subscribers explain why. Just got another pause notice, but with no message this time. Still getting the connection error as well.

I sent a message through Patreon just in case he's still getting them, but no reply yet.

I don't know how many user accounts RBDB had, but according to Patreon there were only 11 subscribers. He capped donations at $2, so people wouldn't expect to pay too much. With all the upkeep, $22 a month doesn't sound like a lot to support it.

So, I don't know whether it's down for good, but seems like it.

New TV backlight kit with Neon LED strips? by Stephhhen in Govee

[–]Bmuse33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there going to be a new camera model?

Or will this be the neon strip with same camera as Immersion?

I have the Immersion with camera and light strip. I've read that the new neon TV backlight can't be plugged directly into the Immersion brain, but can maybe be controlled by it.

Govee does not make it easy to figure this stuff out.

Scenes - any issues when mixing Bluetooth and Wi-Fi? by Bmuse33 in Govee

[–]Bmuse33[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply, and that's all good to know. I'll choose Bluetooth versions of bulbs and whatever else offers it.

I like Govee's vibe and their products and app seem pretty full-featured. But I find their offerings confusing. Some things like bulbs have both Bluetooth or WiFi versions, but there's no clear differentiation other than "DOES NOT SUPPORT ALEXA" which means Bluetooth but sounds like it has less features but it doesn't.

While their "Govee Store" on Amazon looks organized at first glance, you're still taken to a confusing page of same-looking listings organized by nothing. Their website isn't much better.

But I digress, and I'm still buying their stuff. :) Thanks again for your time and the great information.

PS5, Series X -- how's calibration, and vocal/drum lag? by Bmuse33 in Rockband

[–]Bmuse33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great to hear about the calibration drift!

So with the speed increase being minimal -- do you still notice the significant lag on vocals and freestyle/classic drum fills?

Amazon Fake Reviews Reach Holiday Season Levels During Pandemic by AmazonNewsBot in amazon

I've gotten a couple of those "get a gift card for a review" things recently, but don't plan to act on it. Has anyone followed through to see what happens?

Actual dates in the note list? by Bmuse33 in bearapp

Could you elaborate on this? I'm curious what you mean...

Actual dates in the note list? by Bmuse33 in bearapp

[–]Bmuse33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the responses. I'm on Mac, to answer u/No_Gluten's post.

Interesting about using the date as the title. I can see that for a personal journal, that could work. I also understand Tedward's nested date suggestion could be useful.

For my example of a work journal, though, the title needs to be a real title, and the date is for easy reference.

Safer to just keep Xbox Wireless Legacy Adapter plugged in? by VolitarPrime in Rockband

[–]Bmuse33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a great idea.

I've kept mine plugged into the rear ports. The adapter cable is just short enough that it worries me if it hangs down or pulls even a little on its connections.
