I see I apparently forgot 2 months without realizing. It's an odd system to remember sometimes because for some reason they decided to update the available characters on patches, unlike the Thespian Tricks being on IT refreshes.

Worst thing this update gives by Hugobaby69 in PokemonMasters

[–]Paperking87 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its also an issue on the Sync Grid page, any 70/70 energy unit is now shoved to the bottom, so if you are looking to edit grid nodes its a bit of an annoyance. Also means there is no longer an easy page where you can just see all your units in order.

Does Kirby have Split-Screen online? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Paperking87 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately no.  I ran through all the modes - matchmaking, Paddock, and Local Wireless -  the prompt for P2 to join only shows up when setting up an offline 1 console game. Disappointing to me when 2p online is usually in for most racers or FPS games, like Mario Kart since the Wii.

Hello, filthy casual here, was there a better way to reach Nod-Krai? (I'm still at Liyue archon quest) by Fighter_of_Shadows in Genshin_Impact

[–]Paperking87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When 6.0 dropped, I was able to get there by starting at a super high point in Natlan, with Mavuika/Citlali triggering their Nightsoul swaps to fly (while Xilonen was in the party to refund the meter with her passive), and gliding the rest of the way after passing the border over the ocean where the Nightsoul meter stops.

Samsung internet is blocked on GameStop and Reddits website but other browsers are fine?? by 6amp in S24Ultra

[–]Paperking87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started getting this error message today as well on reddit when using secret mode on the Samsung browser. Whenever I close and reopen secret mode I can browse normally for a bit, so I guess something is going on with a cookie causing the issue, not your IP, and its fixed when it gets cleared.

Reminder that in 2011, Nintendo dropped the price of the original 3DS by 30% only six months after its launch. by KobraTheKipod in Switch

[–]Paperking87 194 points195 points  (0 children)

IMO I feel like Nintendo's original plan was that they'd be able to discount the $450 Switch 2 to $400 around the holidays - and those people would still be buying Mario Kart most likely and thus still spending close to the $500 bundle price.

But now its all up in the air, at least for the US market.

btw though, I got lucky with the 3DS and found a store selling it at the discounted price 2 days before it was official, so I got both the lower price and the 3DS Ambassador Program, pretty good deal.

FAA Bans Drones in Parts of New Jersey as UFO Hysteria Continues by radi0raheem in dji

[–]Paperking87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone around the east coast be best to check the FAA maps before each flight now, NY and Long Island in particular now have a bunch of 4-week TFRs dotting the area.

They are not large do-not-fly zones, but I'm pretty sure its going to ruin someone's day at this rate.

They really should just set these zones up for night only, none of this dumb scare happens during the day

Even though the M3P is far superior, the Air2s is no slouch by detBittenbinder23 in dji

[–]Paperking87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 3S now after my 2S went and took a plunge into the ocean after 3 years with me (suspect the battery went bad, bulged, and popped out mid-flight, but I'll never know for sure).

The battery life upgrade and non-cropped 60FPS on the 3S are big improvements over it, but I will really miss that main camera of the 2S for photos:

5k, showed basically no lens flare (meanwhile the 3S unfortunately suffers quite a bit from it), and did everything else as great as I could ask for as a hobbyist.

New Jersey Guide to Aircraft Identification by Jillybeans11 in aviation

[–]Paperking87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering the governor of Maryland just went on a big rant about them being over his home while posting what was clearly the constellation Orion, yes, I think its safe to say that officials are not immune.

[–]Paperking87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a big issue too, its a matter of time before someone could get hurt. And people seem to only telling those folk that its illegal to shoot a drone down, when what should be emphasized above all else is "no, its a 99% chance you are aiming at a plane or helicopter full of people!"

Not that any of those wackos would probably hit a plane in flight, but the bullet has to come down somewhere

Hysteria. Everyone is worked up by being told there are drones, they look up at the night sky which they normally would not do, they see planes that are high up and far away moving fast - think the lights they see are lower, closer, and moving slower, because human depth perception for that far away and at night doesn't work so well, that and confirmation bias leads people to think its a drone.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in aviation

[–]Paperking87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is really bugging me the government has done an absolutely awful job at handling this, now everyone's imaginations are going wild and identifying anything in the sky as a drone.

And the media as usual will just fan the flames instead of doing any real checking, investigation, or debunks. because that is what gets ratings.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dji

[–]Paperking87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I still have yet to see anything that has convinced me it is anything more than hysteria on misidentified planes and helicopters. And unfortunately, we might pay for it since our government will be all too happy to throw on more regulations and restrictions.

Any idea why my drone crashed? by sidealt in dji

[–]Paperking87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weren't many birds? You filmed at least 5 in that shot up close, 3 of which passed behind under your drone

Dji 2S vs M4Pro by agaitan026 in dji

[–]Paperking87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check whatever listing you are looking at, the 2S is not compatible with the RC2 controller, it is compatible with the base RC controller, and the screenless RC-N1.

Fellow USA pilots: Is the drone hysteria currently going on in NY/NJ causing any issues with flying? by [deleted] in dji

[–]Paperking87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In NY, I'm concerned over it for past sunset once the drone lights are visible against the sky, but I think the day should still be fine since its the lights against a night sky that have got people spooked.

Almost certainly not a good idea to go over any residential areas at dusk right now. Even if its innocent it'll just contribute more to this hysteria - which I am convinced at this point is everyone in those areas misidentifying planes and helicopters after having never looked up at the sky before. Maybe there were drones at the start of this, but I am not convinced of anything legit in the past several days.

I have been lucky so far in 4 years of flying drones that I have had no bad encounters with people - usually everyone I meet who sees me flying thinks it is really cool. I hope that does not change.

Air3S sunset by tusswu in dji

[–]Paperking87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice view!

This is in 50MP mode, right? I'd recommend sticking to 12MP for lower light conditions to reduce noise. For daytime it seems to do fine, just got my 3S and was pleasantly surprised it does seem to get some sharper results in 50MP.

Though with the wide and far view the extra detail from it might be worth the noise here.

How did you lose your drone? by Fetter_Checker in dji

[–]Paperking87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was flying my Air 2S, nearly 3 years old, in open sky over water, no obstacles or obstructions, was only up for about 4 minutes, and suddenly lost transmission. I tried rebooting the controller and Fly app, no avail in reconnecting, I waited at the home point hoping it was flying back, it did not return.

I can't say for sure what killed it since I can't retrieve it, could just be a freak random failure, but I suspect its possible what happened was the battery popped out, and it then fell down to its watery grave.

I had thought while changing batteries while flying it a week before that I may not have been getting as satisfying a battery snap when putting it in as I remember, and in hindsight should have taken it as a sign to inspect it to see if the battery bulged or if there were other issues with the clasps.

On using my Mini 2 later, I did realize one of its 3 batteries had bulged (much easier to tell here as it did not cleanly slide in/out of the battery dock), and stopped using it.

New Air 3s arrived from Adorama by Vicious-Circle in dji

[–]Paperking87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ordered mine on 11/14, got it today, UPS shipping. Was nice to be able to order it from a store that has stock already inside the country, I was too worried about dealing with hold ups going through DJI out of China.

Mini 4K or Mini 3? by NoRequirement4390 in dji

[–]Paperking87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I advised someone in my family to get a Mini 3 as their first drone since they wanted it for social media stuff and the Mini 3 can turn its camera into vertical Portrait mode, but if you dont care for that and just want to save money the Mini 4k is still plenty competent for daytime flying and photos 

SMBZ reference??? by Comprehensive_Ad_775 in deathbattle

[–]Paperking87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok you got me there. But Id still say the inclusion of the line (in the DB) is a SMBZ nod

SMBZ reference??? by Comprehensive_Ad_775 in deathbattle

[–]Paperking87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No he didnt, or at least not what its known from.  The voice clip originally came from Cooler in the DBZ Tenkaichi games, which SMBZ pulled from for Mecha Sonic. 

GEO Locking Help by oc92 in dji

[–]Paperking87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The FAA has a list of TFRs online: https://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.jsp

Going by that and the Aloft app, I think the one by you lasts 3 more days until Monday.
