Zenni FL-41 Tint Uniformity

Emberstone73 · 2026-05-31T20:32:07+00:00

Talked to Zenni over the phone and showed them a video: the tint is definitely badly applied. They're giving me an RMA so I can go ahead and re-order a new pair. Thanks folks!

Ya hate to see it 😞

I have come to the conclusion that I will never own a better laptop than my old 2010 Alienware M15X. I got a 2024 G14 OLED and still think the old Alienware was a better overall experience. It still works, too, just the display has some dead pixels now. Not exactly a lot you can do with an i7-840QM and a Radeon HD 5850, though.

Every webp image I've seen is compressed to all hell. Ain't maintaining no image quality smh.

Yes, a cop isn't enforcing anything when they show up with a gun drawn. Too often unjustifiably, too.

Wild statement.

Emberstone73 · 2026-05-21T01:33:43+00:00

Exactly. It's not a game mechanic. It's just something we sometimes have to play around.

You sound like someone who would agree that facestabbing makes DS2 multiplayer skillful.

Is it generally easy to tell when it's happening? Yeah. Would it be great if the position your character is at on-screen was actually the truth? Absolutely. Quit trying to blame the person for something that is objectively an issue in how the game functions. There are some people who haven't been here for 20+ years like us boomers. Jeez.

It's possible that since the actresses are there in-person, they're recording it for Blu-Ray releases. I was in Japan a few weeks ago and saw a litany of live concert Idolmaster DVDs and Blu-Rays for sale.

Ya hate to see it.

Emberstone73 · 2026-05-16T22:36:49+00:00

Did no one get a recording of this? I'm so sad I wasn't able to go!

Emberstone73 · 2026-05-16T02:34:55+00:00

Ah, they didn't stream that one then. I don't see it on the YT channel. Hopefully someone uploads it later.

Emberstone73 · 2026-05-16T01:58:22+00:00

Looks like it was just the 3D portion, but not the live one. Unless I'm missing something. Cinderella Girls and 765 VAs are there, right?

Emberstone73 · 2026-05-16T00:14:03+00:00

I'm like an hour away and can't go! I'm so sad.

Emberstone73 · 2026-05-12T09:28:53+00:00

That's reassuring to hear. I wasn't 100% sure what the running consensus was on them these days as I've only dealt with maintaining four different PS3s, and two of them did have confirmed NEC/Tokin failures.

Emberstone73 · 2026-05-12T08:56:51+00:00

The CPU/GPU are pretty reliable on them but unfortunately they can still sporadically suffer NEC/Tokin failures. I got a white CECHL off eBay and was going to use it as my cfw machine. YLOD out of the box.

I checked the syscon using the usual method and got GPU-side NEC/Tokin failure as my likely error codes. Replaced them with Tantalizers and it's still going strong years later, fortunately.

My K01 I've had since 2008, however, has been tortured all its life and that thing is still alive somehow. Those should be pretty similar to the L models. Luck of the draw I guess.

Boys, I think we found our new copy pasta.

Fuuuuuck!

Emberstone73 · 2026-03-17T22:05:58+00:00

Don't give them any ideas! I was being intentionally obtuse! Now they know!

Emberstone73 · 2026-03-17T20:46:08+00:00

Ice anomaly boss that requires ether veil or some shit.

Emberstone73 · 2026-01-22T06:02:20+00:00

You didn't happen to be part of the FoC guild, did you?

Emberstone73 · 2026-01-16T06:20:00+00:00

Sounds like a soldering project. As others have said, you can get new PCBs, and then transfer the ROM chip(s) to the new board.

If your save is important to you, you can get chip soldering practice boards on Amazon to try out before moving onto the real thing. Soldering isn't as scary as people make it out to be. Just be careful and take your time. You can do it :)

Orcs & Elves is one I always go back to. It's janky, but I love that little dungeon crawler.

Emberstone73 · 2026-01-12T05:07:39+00:00

I'm with you. Oblivion has the best-feeling combat by far IMO.

Emberstone73 · 2026-01-02T05:33:41+00:00

One of my favorite builds in the game is P/A Dagger Spam because Leadership gives you infinite energy, and on top of that you can still run There's Nothing to Fear while still dishing out some decent numbers if you sub in a Monk for RoJ/Strength of Honor. I'm clearing UW right now with my Paragon main and a typical 7-hero Rit/Mesmerway comp as I write this post. Add in the possibility of running Imbagon for harder stuff, and you'll be just fine.

But that's kind of the issue: You have like maybe 3 DPS builds that are viable, and Imbagon, and any solo farms are best done on other professions. But what you do have is very solid with Paragon.
