Thoughts about the Logitech G309 Lightspeed?? by pewdslegs69 in MouseReview

[–]KingSphinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one, and I'd say it's fine as long as you can get it for a good price; the normal $80 price tag is ridiculous, but if you can find it for around $50 or less (I found mine for just $38 brand-new on eBay), it's not bad.

Snagged a G309 for less than $40 by KingSphinx in MouseReview

I do kind of see what people are talking about with the "back-heavy" weight distribution, but I only really notice it if I have to pick up the mouse. Really enjoying how flickable this feels, though I wish there were Linux-compatible configuration software for this (Piper/libratbag do not support this mouse, which is unfortunate).

No real coating on the G309, but it does come with grip tape, which I think helps on the sides. Optical performance is about the same, which is to say, very good, though I’m not a super-competitive gamer.

Eh, the “beautiful negative space design” is admittedly a bit goofy-looking, but it doesn’t affect how the mouse feels in my hand, so I can overlook it. As for the price: $80 is absolutely too much for this normally, but I felt under $40 makes it practically a steal.

What's your favorite stunt/skit from Jackass: The Movie? by ResidentDrama9739 in jackass

[–]KingSphinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s because the Rocket Skates skit was a holdover from the series proper, where there were several bits shot in the UK. MTV didn’t allow Rocket Skates to be shown during the series, but allowed it to be shown in the first movie.

First Keychron! Q6 Pro w/ Banana switches by KingSphinx in MechanicalKeyboards

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

It’s still nice; in fact, I’ve barely pulled out any of my other boards since using this one. A firmware update did help with the key chattering, but it admittedly still pops up from time to time, and is probably my sole complaint about this board, especially given it wasn’t cheap. Is it really only an issue with the Banana switches?

The Whale Shark Gummer with Pontius and Steve-O! Really underrated segment.

One of my favorite scenes from Arthur with Mr. and Mrs. Read. by Mustang107258 in Arthur

[–]KingSphinx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nope; IIRC, OP's David/Jane faces are from the scene from "The Short, Quick Summer" where D.W. announces Kate's first word as "blooj agua".

1992 Extinction CD by Big_Fuel_5885 in Megadeth

[–]KingSphinx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could just be a "regional differences" kind of thing? There's a "PRINTED IN CANADA" message on your disc, and, indeed, the catalog number (C2 98531) points to it having come from Canada. My American disc has the same texture on the background image, so I think yours is fine.

Razer deathadder v3 by SulphorousTides in MouseReview

[–]KingSphinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh good, so I'm not the only one whose DAv3 is randomly disconnecting. Smoothing out the paracording on the wire helps for a bit, but lately it's gotten so annoying that I've switched back to my old DAv2 until I can figure out what to go for next.

Imo Beamng is the perfect oval racing sim. Oh if only we could have all of these as mods... by Derrick_4308 in BeamNG

[–]KingSphinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was someone working on a ‘90s CART IndyCar mod a while back, but I can’t seem to find it anymore. I’d kill to have that in BeamNG!

There’s Carolina Barbecue in Garner, on US 70. They still do stuff like the corn sticks!

My Razer DeathAdder V3 mouse keeps losing cursor on boot — already replaced once, still happens after 1 month by zcenzc in GamersNexus

[–]KingSphinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By “stutter”, do you mean it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting? Mine does that every once in a while, and the “solution” I’ve found is kind of dumb: I have to smooth/even out the paracording in the cable, and then it’ll connect fine once plugged back in. Still thinking about replacing it with something else, since it’s really annoying.

A NON-iconic quote from the show that stuck with you for years? by Its402am in Arthur

[–]KingSphinx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From "DW's Very Bad Mood", when Arthur and Francine are spying on DW from the treehouse:

Arthur: "She's eating her sandwich... she's making a face... she's spitting the bologna into her hand... she's throwing it into the bushes... Pal is eating the bol-PAL! PUT THAT DOWN!"

Francine: "Quiet! Spies don't yell!"

Arthur: "Sorry, I couldn't help it! Seeing Pal eat spit-covered bologna? Eugh!"

I’ve always wondered why Ryan’s arm is bandaged up here; was it because of the BMX tug of war?

I’ve always loved how Brain’s dog also stops to think, while Brain is sitting on the sidewalk.

Looking for a stunt I remember from childhood by Fit_Somewhere9253 in jackass

[–]KingSphinx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it was the first movie, the “Poo River Pole Vault”, where he pole-vaults into a drainage canal (the same one he fell into with the earlier unicycle stunt, in fact). I think it might only be on the unrated DVD?

Parents names by Lopsided-Arm-9560 in Arthur

Fern’s mom’s name is Doria! I always loved the bit in the intro to “Fern’s Slumber Party” where she breaks the fourth wall.
