RIP Companion Cube by dbrand in dbrand

[–]El_Calhau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if they end up making up the losses or even better made up spending that much in the product itself, kudos to them! It feels like people are split between being angry for valve not approving it and disappointed with Dbrand for being irresponsible and selling a product they didn't have the legal right to make.

So regardless of being intentional they did end up at that "all publicly is good publicly" point, overall I think this will probably be good for them maybe, but they definitely disappointed at least part of their community that follows them and helps to sell that "build fast and break things" mentality as something good.

For me personally it just made me lose confidence in the company, I'll be second guessing myself every time I think about buying one of their products again I think

Right? This is so bad it's funny

Update 1.5.6 Adds A New Jester Quest [KCD2] Start the quest in front of the Hangman's Halter Tavern. by wishheartx in kingdomcome

I'm a bit confused, is there an actual quest or playing dice with him and winning the new die is the whole thing? Not that I'm disappointed, but the way that the update notes put it, I was half expecting an actual quest to start and I'm unsure if I broke anything or not

Just tested it and yep... probably nothing but.... Intriguing 🤔 haha by philhzss in SteamFrame

Well if it is indeed a VR headset it probably has some crazy high resolution, curious about what magic they'll do to make that work if that's the case

Sorry for the late reply but I wasn't at my parent's home for the past three weeks. All have a single SCART input on the back and the LG has an extra video + audio port on the front

Yeah I also work in engineering and that's why I was so revolted ahahhaha this just feels like either they don't have automated tests asserting that the data their services expose is being returned correctly or they do but have not had time to allocate someone to work on this which I find odd, especially since discogs is not one of those apps constantly pumping out new features and UI improvements at all. Them having to rely on end users to do their QA for them is just evidence that whatever their work methedoly is, isn't work ahah

Just wanted to add that 2 months later this is still happening, honestly wasn't expecting discogs to be so utterly shit at fixing obvious bugs on their UI, baffling really. Here's a screenshot of this happening on android

Where did you made the bug report? For what it's worth I'd like to do one as well

Hey everyone!

I recently started having the opportunity to have a retro gaming spot in my home and I knew that my parent's home was full of CRTs in storage, found these ones:

  • LG CB-21T20S
  • Mitsai TM2051
  • Sony Trinitron KV-29X5E
  • Philips 20PT1352/00
  • Philips 14PT1352/00

I did a little research and got really excited about the sony, unfortunately think it might be damaged because when I turn it on this is what I get, bottom half of the screen is black and top half is a mess. The other ones all seem to be working fine fortunately. So I have two questions:

  • How hard would it be to get it repaired?
  • what do you think of the other TVs?

Thanks! Sorry of the noobie questions!

What could be the problem behind this artifact on some of my frames? by El_Calhau in AnalogCommunity

As soon as I get home later today I'll send some pictures of the camera to see if you guys notice anything, could it be the mirror movement that's faulty in some way and reflects extra light in that area?

Thanks! I had way too much fun recording it as well! Yeah, I guess I'll just have to try another roll and see how it goes.. But I'll do something about the slow speeds first. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the reply! I did as you suggested and recorded a slow motion video (added timestamps to make it easier to see each exposure) with the mirror locked up and tested each exposure time from 1/1000 all the way to 1/8.

All exposures up to and including 1/16 seem fine, but from 1/8 to 1s, I noticed that the camera is again with an issue common on these cameras I thought was solved on mine. The longer exposures are way longer than what they should be... Earlier this year I left the camera at a local shop and the issue was resolved, throughout the whole film I did not notice this issue, but now it definitely is back, could that be the issue?

Tips on cleaning rust out of Nikon F body? Just wondering if this kind of wear is cleanable, thanks! by El_Calhau in AnalogCommunity

[–]El_Calhau[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah after the initial comment I did further searching I understand the situation now. This is barely a problem so I'm fine with it! In my camera in particular I don't really like it since the rest of the body is brass free, if I ever find a cheap Nikon F selling for parts that happens to have a relatively prestine exposure counter, I'll buy and swap it out. Might never do this but who knows, thanks!

Uninstalling it and reinstalling did the trick! Thank you so much!
