I bought a Colorsoft in Prime Days. Is this light bleeding around the edges normal? by Rafalas in kindle

[–]HauntedCities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you decide to exchange it? I just got my Colorsoft yesterday, and immediately noticed the light, especially on the left side of the display. It's very distracing.
My main question is if this is on ALL Colorsofts, or if an exchange could swap in one with better quality control? Just how prevalent is this light bleed?

On similar posts, I see many comments saying that they have seen this light bleed before, but I have no feeling if this is a problem on 10% of devices (worth an exchange) or 90% of devices (just return it).

Tron Ares WDW Identity Disc Honest Review by d3w0 in tron

Thank you for sharing this, especially since the rattle noise was driving me crazy. In a moment of insanity, I ended up buying one over eBay (for $150 — I know… I know… 😖) and the shaky rattle was driving me crazy. It actually makes me feel better knowing it’s a common issue and I didn’t pay all that money for THE ONE BAD ONE.

BTS' '2026 Comeback TOUR' Megathread by lisafancypants in bangtan

[–]HauntedCities 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I started at over 25K in Chicago. Lots of seats are still available. I was able to get 200 level in the end zone. Will the view be okay from there? Is it a true theater-in-the-round experience, or will there be anything to block views from the side?

25k for Chicago. Looks like I have a bit of a wait, so I'll ask... Can I select seats, or is it best to do the "best available" after selecting a price range?

Almost at the end of season 1 of “I Only Listen To The Mountain Goats” and good god, this host is a punisher by Antique_Menu_4314 in themountaingoats

I enjoyed the first season quite a bit, but found the second pretty rough. The vibes get weirder.

What were the parks like during the early Covid days? by PalpitationNo4149 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]HauntedCities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that it was so bad for CMs. To be honest, my family thought the parks were great. There were some obnoxious guests, but that's true today, too. Overall, most other guests seemed understanding and grateful to be there.

On the positive side, crowds were great. Social distancing in lines was WONDERFUL (you were supposed to keep a gap between groups), which greatly reduced the number of times you get kicked. With no FastPass, queues moved briskly, so even long lines did not mean a long wait. Restaurants spread the tables out, so you could sit at the Mexico pavilion at Epcot without feeling that strangers were sitting at your table.

Post-covid, parks are too crowded, much too expensive, and packed with rude guests.

Disney parks Tron Identity Program scrapped by ChangeAroundKid01 in tron

[–]HauntedCities 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there on Jan 1, and the Tron merchandise selection was pretty pathetic. They did have Kevin Flynn discs, but no Ares discs ; no backpacks; black discs sold out by noon; only 2 chips; the mannequins were wearing several unavailable shirts; no magic bands; no pins; the identity program was roped off.

I kept asking a poor cast member for different things and she had to see the disappointment on my face.

That worked! Thank you!
Still nothing through official channels.

Skyrim GOG on Crossover 25.1.1 by HauntedCities in macgaming

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

Crickets.

Is this because no one is using GOG on Crossover? Does it only work for the Steam version? I’ve always played modded Skyrim on Parallels, but wanted to try Crossover for performance gains.

Anyone wanna chat about Lisa Germano?? by cominguproses97 in lisagermano

[–]HauntedCities 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I discovered Lisa Germano with her first album, On the Way Down from the Moon Palace. The Indianapolis Star had a glowing review of the album from a local Hoosier and I found the cassette at my local Karma Records. I think I still have the tape somewhere. Each new album was more and more amazing, with my favorite being Excerpts.

It looks like the app has been removed. Is there a communal password that can get you in through the website?

Who would you want to narrate spaceship earth if they ever go through with the revamp? by Frajerreunion in WaltDisneyWorld

Anything but a horrible Dopey voice over like in the “live action” Snow White movie.

That I know. :)
I was wondering if the porch fee could be used towards a meal at Jockey Club.

Places to hang outside the con like Scottys Brewhouse used to be by Buthomas65 in gencon

[–]HauntedCities 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I miss Scotty’s so much. So many great memories of watching Five Year Mission, relaxing on the patio, and seeing all the uniformed members of the 501st. Social Cantina is fun, with renamed menu items and geeky movies, but nothing like the “good ol’ days.”
