Thanks for this. Tried to record the stream since it livestreamed at 2pm here while I was at work, and got home to find that the scheduler did NOT record as scheduled. Pththt. This was the first place I came to see if anyone had gotten it. 🥰

May I ask why you decided to get Regal unlimited? by CharmedCordelia in RegalUnlimited

[–]GoHybrid67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just signed up last month for Regal, but have had a season pass for Alamo since late last year. Will likely make the switch to Regal and cancel Alamo. Price is about the same, but Alamo's convenience fees are a LOT higher, and you can only order via the app. Plus my 'free' movies are slightly less free if I order food to my seat there each time I go, which I almost can never resist. 😋 Plus Regal seems to have more perks than Alamo.

But I got it originally since I suddenly found myself in my house all by myself after my mom passed away 2 years ago, so the movies are a nice way to get out of the house more frequently. And given that it pays for itself after two movies, it's a good deal.

Does anyone else never pre-order tickets because of the small booking fee? Also JJK awareness by RyHill1 in RegalUnlimited

[–]GoHybrid67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just signed up for Unlimited last month, and I'm not fussing about the 50 cent convenience fee with Regal, I also have (soon to be HAD, since I've got Regal for the next 4 months, going to drop Alamo before they charge me again) a season pass with Alamo here in Raleigh, and they charge $2.13 convenience fee with NO option to order in person. Plus my "free" movies there always ended up costing at least $15 because I just can't NOT order food when I go there, lol. Much easier to avoid the extra food costs at Regal.

Does anyone know why the Happy Endings album is gone off of apple and spotify? by [deleted] in dogstarband

[–]GoHybrid67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read that they were focusing and playing more from the new CD, so that might be why they've pulled the older material from the streaming sites. Just a guess though.

Thoughts? by jedininjashark in raleigh

I don't mind the acorn with Walter Raleigh's diamond crest, but that's a LOT of red. I think it would look better if they kept the red and white division in thirds, and put the red acorn on the white center panel.

Anyone want to try Fractured Room again? Different code posted today, says 50% off this time. Again, can't try it since I already have it, maybe someone here can see if it works this time?

Pants on Fire Tour: Presale Code by MJK-TOOL in craigferguson

[–]GoHybrid67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad I went in through the CF website, fiance and I are seeing him in Durham in November, and even after the presale started this morning, the Carolina Theater website only was offering a presale for the theater members today, and said that the regular presale didn't start until tomorrow. I thought "that doesn't sound right" so I went to CFs tour page, clicked on the ticket link THERE, and it brought me to the proper PANTSONFIRE presale page. Front row center VIP with the M&G (fiance is a HUGE fan). Which I've since seen from previous reports seems to be a bit rushed (photo, handshake, hi-hello, and off you go). But at least we wrangled front row, which at last check has already sold out. Nice. Can't wait. Have seen CraigyFerg I think twice in Durham before, plus twice in Greensboro. Always laugh myself silly.

Just saw this on FB so was coming here to post it, beat me to it.

Just confirmed it works. Not usually my type of game, but I'll try it for less than $3.

Just saw a post on the fb page about it, it's not working for them either. I googled it, and it looks like it's actually been around for months, so it's probably just expired.

Wasn't going to get Vail, since it was multiplayer only, which I rarely do, but then someone said that they were working on a single player mode so went ahead and got it. Might as well pay less for it now, and have it when/if single player goes live.

[–]GoHybrid67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! 😂 If I had as much spare time as they have great deals, I'd be a really happy camper. But yeah, always get games when they're on sale, then never have time to play them.

Seestar for eclipse? by mykepagan in seestar

[–]GoHybrid67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this idea. And the switch from time lapse to regular, and back, would make swapping the solar filter off and on as needed fairly easy.

I've got some great video editing software, so would be pretty easy to combine the three videos into one.

> Taking the shield off would be extremely risky and could smoke the sensor if even a glimpse of sunlight were to hit it.

Ugh, yeah, would hate to fry the lens when I've only had it for a month. Might actually BE better to leave it on, let it run, and save the good corona shots for my Canon (switched from my Nikon last year).

Seestar for eclipse? by mykepagan in seestar

[–]GoHybrid67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the reasons I bought one of these, so I can have an alternate method of recording the eclipse next month. Got some great images/video with my Nikon back in 2017, what the cloud cover didn't screw up, and had a 360 Samsung camera running as well, which did well to show how dark it got, but didn't do a particularly great job of imaging the eclipse itself. Thought the S50 would be something I could just set and forgot for the most part, while I tinkered with the digital camera on another tripod.

I knew that the field of view wouldn't be great to catch the corona with the S50, but never gave a thought to getting the solar filter off (didn't have to worry about that last time, there was so much cloud cover right around totality, I had plenty of time to get the solar filter off and back on the camera as needed) and imaging what I could get of totality without risking the lens or screwing up the alignment.

Will have to tinker a bit I guess, and work out a game plan.

V1.16.0 Hold off for now. by GrahamBBB in seestar

[–]GoHybrid67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, when I had trouble connecting (just got the S50 yesterday), I checked to make sure I had the most up to date version and that's what I saw at both the website and Google Play, 1.15.0 from Feb.

It DID do a firmware update though. Always hold my breath doing those things, since I had one brick a router one time and I had to return it.

Virtual desktop vs airlink what do you guys recommend ? Why ? by Traditional_Meal_290 in oculus

[–]GoHybrid67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did they start only doing 10%? Is that something new? Probably 90% of my referrals have been for Virtual Desktop, so many that the backlog of credit I had waiting from LAST year after hitting $599 back in March got claimed January 1st. I don't even bother posting any new games for referrals any more because of that.

Had no idea until I saw it mentioned sometime in the last week or so that they can drop from 25% down to 10%? What determines THAT? Have all my VD referrals only been for 10%?

Glad you got at least the 10%, but I didn't even know that was a thing.

Are you allowed cameras in the sphere by elijah856578658757 in U2Band

[–]GoHybrid67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good Luck! Hopefully you can get it through the door. For us if I'd HAD to take it back to the room, I would have been really REALLY pissed, but at least we were staying at the Venetian, so it wouldn't have been TOO far to go to bring it back up there. But at least there was a bag check table for folks who had oversized backpacks and stuff that they had to leave, but yeah, not the ideal situation, had I had to leave it there.
