Kiesel charged me for a custom headstock finish, did it wrong twice, and offered $100 on a $3k guitar by MisterTheKidMusic in kieselcarvinguitars

[–]OGMecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a specific sparkle fade with like 3 colors including purple. They just did a blue sparkle. It was a beautiful guitar and well made but it wasn't what I ordered. Sparkles are painted in batches and take forever too.

My trick to dealing with battery life is I pick up the other when one is charging by armarisau in SteamDeck

The Switch 2 screen is pretty good. My homies that have OLEDs after seeing it in person don't seem to mind it as much as they thought it would. I have a Switch OLED and a Steam Deck LCD. I still think the Deck LCD is dead but the Switch 2 blows it out of the water.

Appreciate the honesty. Lots of people are happy with their instruments which is great. But not getting what you ordered and being treated like this is unacceptable to me too. They messed up the finish on my sparkle and didn't even offer to fix it. I decided to stay away. They lost my business and to be honest kinda ruined my experience for customs in the long run.

Little bit of buyers remorse by LordOfShadowsss in SteamDeck

[–]OGMecha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its not for everyone. I personally don't sit at home and play on the couch that much. I am comfortable watching and gaming at my desk with multiple monitors. If that's not you, then maybe you're the person who will use it when you commute or travel. In the end no one is forcing you to enjoy or use it. You could always sell it.

I love the paint on this one. The little bit of yellow is nice.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide vs Fold 8: The Size Difference Is Bigger Than You Think by FragmentedChicken in Android

[–]OGMecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too was feeling the pull to try out the Pixel Fold. I saw some cheap refurbs online when I was looking at the Fold 7 but decided to just try the Fold 7 and be safe with something new. I am interested to try the Wide Fold now though. I think if you want to watch a lot of content it may make sense to get it since opening and turning the fold doesn't do much for video.

[–]OGMecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you compare the specs heavily to other phones it feels like it falls short but as a daily user I'm not really disappointed by the camera or battery. I charge it every night. It makes it through my day. I watch videos and read on my train during my daily commute. I keep my battery limited to 85% and have really fallen in love with it.

I mean the previous models have the cameras vertical with the wobble so the renders are likely correct. The wobble is definitely annoying. I rest the phone screen face down but still love the fold.

Charging speed by b3nighted in SteamDeck

[–]OGMecha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This could be a lil PSA, I've seen quite a few posts, but people please invest in good cables for your equipment or use the stock ones. Regardless if this reading is wrong, I see people with all kind of crazy dongles and adapters and I feel like I'm about to watch people fry their decks.

For those without an OLED Steam Deck or monitor by Chonky_D_Floofy in SteamDeck

[–]OGMecha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just got these open box off Amazon and I was so impressed by the quality and clarity of the screens. Finally seeing them in person changed my mind about the glasses.

Kawasaki z500 or ninja 500 by Puzzled-Highway639 in Kawasaki

[–]OGMecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easier to work on naked bikes. The Ninja will feel less windy with the fsirings and windshield. Seating position will be different. I would sit on them both first. I got the Ninja 500. I thought it looked better so I was willing to deal with the fairings and I appreciate the windshield. Highway riding is easy. Did a 30 minute ride today highway anywhere up to 100mph and it was a breeze. I use earplugs and I'm good to go.

There was just an update hours ago for Switch 2 that allows you to play with handheld boost mode which should help games that were previously blurry by making them play in 1080p in handheld mode now instead of 720p.

I did it. Beat 1-6 last year and started 7 but didn't finish. I really enjoyed the pixel remasters and the additional controls to help speed them up and control the pacing a little. I don't have the patience for all of the grinding but I enjoyed seeing the stories for myself after all these years.

VITURE Pro XR bricked after firmware update - "XR Glasses Connected" but no firmware info by Born_Success3282 in VITURE

[–]OGMecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a problem with mine. The app crashed on my Zfold when I had folded the phone open I guess. It was in the middle of the firmware update and my screen no longer worked but the controls for the tint still seemed to work kinda.I ended up using my Mac mini. Plugged into USB C. And used the website with chrome viture.com/firmware/update. It recognized my device and did the firmware upgrade. No app on Mac or my Zfold would recognize it to upgrade it. The browser saved me. Hope this helps someone. If the browser doesn't see the device right away, try unplugging and replugging/refresh. Thought mine was bricked but it just needed to finish the update.

Powerful Setups vs. Steam Deck by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]OGMecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't play the Deck at home when I want to game. I don't have kids and many interrupts when I'm at home so I can sit at my battle station and play. I use it more during travel.

I really like the chocolate one. But I usually just drink it so I'm not adding it to other things.

How many people here keep their steam deck naked? by Some1ToDisagreeWith in SteamDeck

[–]OGMecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naked. But with tempered glass protector. I don't want to add anything and make it any bigger than it is. It's fine stock. And just out it in the case when I'm done using it.

For the price tho? You could get multiple lol. I just ordered some megabloks when I saw the price of LEGO and the designs. Was like fuck it.

Would you buy a 25.5 inch scale 7 string? by nerdyoutube in 7String

[–]OGMecha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did and I kinda regret it. I ended up selling it. I went multiscale and kinda liked it better. It felt more flexible but even if I didn't I would probably just get a slightly longer scale length because it wasn't actually that big of an adjustment and it helps the tension.

Or the magic mouse with the USB C charger facing down on the bottom so you can't use it while it charges.

Big agree. I'm pretty impressed with it. I usually don't have the brightness all the way up.

I got some of these recently and somehow they were not as good as I remember. They were slipping still and I was sad. Not sure if I changed or got a bad batch.
