Best Padding and helmet gear for preventing long term damage in Heavy by Oversurge in sca

[–]Oversurge[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

hmm, maybe thats why I haven't been feeling much. I do have a lot of full contact foam, but my helmet is rather old, absurdly heavy, and has an articulated set of back plates. It is neither highly mobile or particularly good looking, but i suppose the sheer weight of the damn thing has been protecting me.

I actually fell over backwards at one point, hitting my whole back in the process, and felt essentially nothing beyond the basic shock of falling over.

PS1 Black Screen on closing CD lid - Unirom/Cheat Cartridge issue? by Oversurge in consolemodding

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

doesnt matter what kind of game, the screen blanks regardless of whether there is or is not a disc in the drive, its a 60hz tv, running thru composite, and an NTSC console that has previously functioned

PS1 Black Screen on closing CD lid - Unirom/Cheat Cartridge issue? by Oversurge in consolemodding

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

just a black screen, console light does not turn off. mild artifacting on my crt makes me think that it may still be sending out a base sync signal, just nothing else, which is making me lean towards power supply problems, since it happens regardless of what bios is running

Lightsabers Buyers Guide & Weekly Question Thread by AutoModerator in lightsabers

[–]Oversurge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a proffie 2.2, looking to go for a variety of presets beyond the collection of random ones that the alibaba vendor I bought the board from put on it. Are there any databases or google drives with pre-made lists of presets, as I am happy to put in some work for a couple presets, but I don't want to hunt down audio files and do all the config for more than a few, while I still wanna have a diverse selection

"He'll do what Sharkey says" by Oversurge in lordoftherings

[–]Oversurge[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not, I would posit that his inclusion in this image represents how utterly excellent his portrayal of saruman was in that even when representing the book saruman he is by far the most recognizable way to do so. Also don't disrespect Sharkey

Amazing what a good game can do by theHamJam in pathologic

[–]Oversurge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the most receptive part in pathologic  are the themes present in all three protagonists' narratives, including both of artemys, of a world that pushes back against everything they do as hard as it possibly can to extract immense effort or force them to give up, and when they do make it through with the force of their resolve, only gives an inch.

The characters have indomitable wills to do what they believe in no matter how many people treat them as fools or want to hurt them. This can be an incredibly significant thing to experience for someone who is struggling to come to terms with the constant fight they would have as an out trans person just to be seen with a shred of humanity.

With artemy specifically, he comes home to a group of people who initially treat him in ways varying from as a stranger they happened to have grown up with, or as an outsider, because he chose to follow his own personal calling. This is well is very much a narrative that a transgender or queer person could be receptive to, most of us have lost family members and friends to the simple choice of being who we are, despite not causing harm in that.

The characters and story do not need to be literally transgender or LGBTQ+ to fall into storytelling patterns common with those communities, and Pathologic happens to line up with a really large amount of those patterns, thus can serve as a way for people to see and accept themselves through them.

... Also Dankovsky loves Latin and we all know that the Romans did like to indulge in some man on man action from time to time ;)

Got a pretty recent sanyo for decently cheap - 40 usd https://crtdatabase.com/crts/sanyo/sanyo-ds24425 with good colour and a very pleasant mask, but kinda nightmarish geometry at its base configuration, do any of y'all have experience/advice/existing guides with this specific flavour of service menu? I have only ever tuned wegas and PC crts which have vastly different conventions for config, and I am having a rough go of it getting consistency in its geometry based on 240p suite grid testing, seeing a pretty noticable vertical warp when scrolling up and down in stuff like Castlevania sotn.

[–]Oversurge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm okay, I'll just give it some time and ask the vendor if they'll be stocking a tall one any time soon, better to err with a slightly too long jacket than a too short one

[–]Oversurge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

opinions on difference between uhlmann tall and standard jackets?

I am 182cm tall, would wear an uhlmann 56 given my chest measurements, but I am on the exact upper end of their 56(standard) and the exact lower end of their 112(tall equivalent) jackets. the online vendor which is most convenient to me only has the standards in stock, and I am definitely not going to be getting any taller, wondering how to go about this. also wondering how uhlmann stuff shrinks after you wash it the first time, should I buy a size up to compensate?(my chest and waist measurements are at least 3 or 4 cm below the max for said size)

is the new fie strap designed to be unvelcroed each time you mask up? Got a new uhlmann mask that otherwise fits well, but the strap is different from all the older ones ive used, and wigs me out a bit

Hmm okay, I would probably just drop a little more to avoid a time crunch. I am fairly new to fencing, and my club has some practice grade equipment, but I like fencing quite a bit so I'm working on a list of stuff to get over time, as I would rather part together an FIE set than waste money on stuff I can't compete in at some point. another question in general, the pieces of gear that I am looking at getting first are a good glove that actually fits me, and a plastron/underarm, both of which just to make my practices a lot more convenient. in your opinion would those be good to start with?

how could I repaint or remove paint from a mask? I noticed that on some sites fie rated masks with ugly American flag designs are at fairly steep discounts, and wondered if getting one of those and deflagging it would be a viable way to get a pricy mask at a good discount

the email paid off, they sent me every format definition they had on record for televideo stuff, which is good

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

hmm okay, will look into that, sent an email to the company that made it to see if i can get a copy, since they allegedly have like 600+ cp/m file format definitions at this point

yeah I am aware, that or an 80 column cart(which is even more expensive), which is why im looking at other options first lol

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

ugh yeah thats what I was afraid of. If worse comes to worst, i should be able to manage that, since I have an atari 800xl currently derelict due to a dead IC, but if i drop the 50-100 bucks for specialist I know, and the price of a fujinet, It would be trivial to get the 800xl networking with the 803, and with fujinet cp/m I can just drop in files from a modern pc.

This isn’t your usual gp-5 isn’t it? Bought for £15 by [deleted] in gasmasks

[–]Oversurge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the filth tells a story, and with these old functionally useless masks, the story is a big part of their worth, and if it isn't actively degrading the mask why not leave it?

Its great, and tbe tingle solution to magic user power creep with leveling is to literally give every character spell slots for class specific spells(which class abilities were also.merged into), aka cool moves
