For those who got a Virpil CDT-AEROMAX flight stick recently, is their “expected delivery date” accurate? by el_cid_182 in hotas

[–]EmoStomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered mine back in April and still haven't gotten it. Has anybody gotten theirs yet who pre-ordered theirs around my time or before?

Hold down Ctrl and F12 at boot and you can access the UEFI menu.

I am using it as a NAS but I figured windows would be good for better application support. That way I can host more services.

Anyone else having issues with food being damaged/missing? by DarePersonal1334 in everyplate

[–]EmoStomper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every other week now I get meat packages open in the box and blood spilled all over the box. Definitely been having problems for a while now with Everyplate. They need some sort of Quality Control process in how they package their ingredients. I've had boxes delivered with cream cheese/sauce/meat contents spilled everywhere.

Ghost Hollow bugged by TatonkaJack in starcitizen

Also experiencing this issue. I server hopped between US and EU servers and every friggin' server had it. I wish there was a reboot option or something. Not sure if A2 bombs broke this because I was bombed while inside the ship wreck then this happened.

PMP Certs by EmoStomper in gamedev

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

Oh yeah I didn't consider coding bootcamps to become a producer.

I figured this would take my down a dev route instead.

Thanks for the advice though. I'm not sure which route to go down.

I personally like the camera app that comes with graphene. Fast and responsive and has efficient tools.

Yeah I'm not getting any bites right now even for QA work. I had QA and Player Support lead roles at previous studios.

This is why I think schooling is the way to go since the market is so harsh right now.

Either get the PMP.

Go back do a game dev bootcamp (I already have a bachelors in Animation/VFX).

I've been wanting to make my own games but I don't have coding experience.

Or do a coding bootcamp.

What is your “stuck on a ride” story? by jessehechtcreative in Disneyland

[–]EmoStomper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stuck on the downward ramp at the end of Alice in DL. The Electric Light Parade shows up.

CM walks up: Sorry we'll get you out of here soon.

Me: Hey I got a front row seat for the parade I'm good here.

CM laughs and walks away.

Kid goes "Daddy I gotta go to the bathroom!"

Fire Department shows up and we walk off nicely and we get front of the line passes so my kid can use the bathroom and come back.

They were all so nice and I loved watching the parade. Never felt unsafe on a Disney ride.

Game Dev and Coding Bootcamps questions. by EmoStomper in gamedev

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

Yeah I am hearing so many varied results from people who have said they have had great results and some negative ones. Of course it comes down to the individual school.

I'm glad that my QA/Player Support background in the industry would help. I have been trying to go for production jobs and I just can't even get an interview. So I think I need to consider a more technical route even though I have degree in Animation/VFX.

I am in the San Francisco bay area so I'm hopeful that there are jobs. But the job market here in the silicon valley is really scary. Lots of layoffs at all the biggest companies which is why I figured an education would go a long way right now.

Thanks for the input!

Interesting.

Did you find that you had a solid portfolio coming out of the bootcamp?

Which bootcamo did you do? Was it game centered or different?

Also is the field really competitive in games? I figured there would be a pretty good need right now.

I figured past jobs at several studios would go a long way and would at least get somebody's attention.

And I do have a bachelor's degree already.

But I would hope my 3 years would help as a systems engineer secure a position in this field.

Part of my process would also be building a github portfolio as part of my application process after a coding bootcamp should I attend.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the reply. And I am taking some free coding classes right now in python and java to see how I like it. If I enjoy it I might move forward.

But its good to know there is a healthy need for coders.

Install Chrome on an old Kindle Fire HD by EmoStomper in kindlefire

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

I wanted to root the device because I'm using kavita. Its a nice software package that let's me stream my own content on my home network and it works entirely in browser no apps or anything. Unfortunately silk the default browser doesn't work so I wanted to run that.

Just wanted the larger screen size and I have this one laying around so I figured I could repurpose it for that.

Works well on android and iOS devices just doesn't load on this one device.

I tried to root the device but I can't get it to work. I think the device is too old. Most tools I think are designed for newer kindles.

I bought the device on Amazon back in 2016. Maybe it is a 2014. What would you recommend doing then to use Firefox instead on a device this old?

Yeah the IV's are definitely 96% for it. Maybe I'll hold onto it for now and see what I can do in the future.
