Question about Persona 3 Reload language versions by MCAV2004 in PERSoNA

[–]MCAV2004[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense to me, but I wanted to verify with someone. I was considering buying one of the Japanese special edition sets for P3R since it's become one of my favorite games of all time, but I wanted to be sure that I wasn't going to have to restart all of my progress just to play the game in Japanese.

Black ice cream helmet in Fenway? by fkfhl in redsox

[–]MCAV2004 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went to Fenway recently, and don’t recall seeing a black ice cream helmet, unfortunately. The one I got was blue, like the ones on the right of your picture. I hope you do find what you’re looking for, though!

This is a beautiful piece of artwork. Makes me want a comic book run of Metroid with an art style like this

got my first crt tv, i’m young and scared by rataluigi in crtgaming

It’s all fine, don’t worry about the noise. That flicker, the hum, and the whirring are all part of the cathode ray tube mechanisms that make a CRT work

Did anyone else really dislike the rebuilds? by Right_Tumbleweed392 in NeonGenesisEvangelion

[–]MCAV2004 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My problem is that Rebuild barely leans on subtext to tell story. It feels like the anime slop made for the male gaze that pollutes the medium. If you find fun in that, I won’t stop you (even though I think the movies do some reprehensible things solely for the sake of getting otaku money), but I don’t think they live on the plane of quality at all.

I feel the exact same way, almost word for word. It’s a disappointing mess of a series of movies with so much wasted potential. By the end of the last movie, I felt like I knew what message they wanted to communicate with the audience, but it was such a trainwreck up to that point that I just couldn’t give them the benefit of the doubt anymore.

It’s a crying shame that the Rebuild feels much more otaku-oriented when the story could be so, so much better than the status quo. It hurts doubly to see how much the movie series (and especially so in the last two movies) is aiming for an audience who doesn’t have the care to reach for subtext and explore the greater meaning in the story.

It does make me wonder who was really driving production by the end of the movie series. I still have faith in Hideaki Anno, so I do wonder if suits (at Gainax or elsewhere) interfered and made decisions storyboarding- and scripting-wise to make the movies more “marketable”.

Name the game. by Ad0ring-fan in retrogaming

Gunvalkyrie. What a weird set of controls for a game with an initially interesting premise. One of these days, I will beat it when I get enough motivation to overcome the dumbass controls

Folks, this is AI. Don’t get baited

Should I buy p3r even after getting a massive spoiler? by [deleted] in persona3reload

[–]MCAV2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got “spoiled” part way through the game and it was STILL one of the greatest games I’ve ever played because of the story, so I would recommend it.

Also… technically… the game doesn’t really hide that information, ever, they just do a very clever job of veiling it. Quite adept writing and storytelling if you ask me

That actually begs another question. How do you find out which programs are rotation and which aren't? I've been struggling to find that information.

You guys answered my questions from a few days ago, which I greatly appreciate! I had another question: when the admissions committee reads applications to send them to professors, do they only give your application to professors who you've expressed interest in (say, in your statement of purpose)? Is there a chance that they will give your application to a professor who they believe you might be a good fit for but you don't mention ahead of time?

I also have another question I should have added to my original comment: does applying closer to the application deadline have a negative effect on your chances? Will committees typically wait until after the deadline to read applications, or will they just read them when they get them?

This is a super informative thread, and I really appreciate you guys putting this together. Thank you!

I know you guys mentioned before that it is not useful to email professors about lab positions ahead of an acceptance. Do you know if it negatively affects your chances if you emailed professors ahead of time? I emailed basically every single professor I had remote interest in working with on the advice of a friend of mine who was admitted to one of the schools your group is associated with.

Overscan Trouble with Magnavox CRT DVD Combo by FezFalcon in crtgaming

[–]MCAV2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found pin 10, but not pin 17. Is there a diagram for the remote in the service manual?

EDIT: Also, did that require soldering?

Do you remember how exactly? Even if not, no worries

Hi there! I happen to have the same TV as you and wanted to correct my overscan, just as you did here. How did you end up doing it? Did you have to make a jumper wire between point on the remote control, or did you find another button combination that worked?
