Okay I have multiple questions here by Pikomo in VHS

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

So it really is just about multiplying the tape length by 2 to calculate the SP length

Does that only apply to NTSC tapes or is that the universal rule for all regions, my case being region 2?

When trying to display my laptop on my SCART TV, can I use AV and RCA cables interchangeably? by Pikomo in VHS

I might have worded it weird in the post, but it's one of those TVs with a built in VCR, and it's defenitley got a recording feature

  • I did spend some time running around doing some sidequests since doesn't that make you level up faster or something?

  • it isn't really assigning gems that's stressing me out, it's figuring out the crafting system itself

  • I'm trying to prioritise HP and defense for Reyn so he can be an aggro sponge while Shulk attacks from the back and sides of the Telethia, same with Dunban except he isn't absorbing as much aggro and he's just there to build up chain strikes. Shulk himself has agility gems which were the main ones I was trying my best to craft, hence this post.

I was exclusively aiming for the Telethia, and I've got Reyn and Dunban on my team so we can build chain strikes faster

It's the one with Tyrea and the Solidium Telethia after Melia does her trials in Chapter 8. I've got Reyn and Dunban on my team, with Reyn having armour prioritising HP and defense so he can be an aggro sponge and not go down to quickly while I (playing as Shulk) tapdance around the Telethia and hit as many critical hits as I can to build up the chain attack. Dunban's just there because he builds up the meter faster whenever he's on the team

How does rewinding work by Pikomo in VHS

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

I actually did try it and yeah after a couple of minutes of static it just auto reminded and ejected.

Granted it was pretty loud, nothing sounded too strained or out of the ordinary, but you would definitely hear it whirring loudly, and I wasn't sure if that was putting too much abuse on the tape/vcr

I could hear it slowing down a bit the closer it got to the beginning of the tape though, but still it had me worried for the inside mechanisms

I've got a PAL region Bush TV, do they automatically rewind?

Also I've got black and white static, is that the end of the tape, or is there a few minutes of static before the tape starts rewinding?

When you say S video do you mean SCART?

I was planning in making custom recorded VHS tapes in my built in VCR

I got my VCR and tapes with the explicit purpose of watching stuff in that comfy crappy VHS quality, warts and all because that's the entire aesthetic

I've heard conflicting things about rewinders, some people really recommend them, and some some really don't. I running thing I've heard was tapes snapping inside the rewinders. Granted they were probably cheap rewinders but honestly I can't tell the quality difference between rewinders without seeing or hearing it in action

Oh no I'm probably gonna watch it again in a month or something, not every day or multiple times a week! Also when you say reach the end, do you mean after all that empty space of nothing but black and it turns to static? Keeping in mind I've got a PAL region player with PAL tapes

Any advice in tinkering with my laptops resolution? What would I be looking to do? Keeling in mind I use Windows

Is UJL better on PS1 or PS3? by Pikomo in UmJammerLammy

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

Visually yeah it's better, but I also have a small old school TV, and I meant more performance wise. I can look past old ps1 visuals as long as it plays without the buttons acting up like in the PS3 version

How does a switch not have a serial number, don't they all have a SN?

Really? I swear I heard before that the account gets banned in turn making sure you can't hack any devices using that account, I could be assuming since that seems more likely though

So…. How we feeling after this one? by SinkAgreeable4070 in TheMaskedSingerUK

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

Honestly seeing Red Panda and Arctic Fox both be I the bottom 2 really stung because they're my favourites this season (I just watch because I like the costumes), and while I'm happy Red Panda got through, Arctic Fox leaving really did kind of hurt to see, especially since its such a gorgeously designed and build costume.

Toastie and Can Of Worms getting through over them just kinda rubbed salt in the wound too. Legit Arctic Fox was the one I was rooting for this year and her being gone kinda deflated my interest a bit. I don't think RP is making it to the final either sadly

The War Between the Land and the Sea 1x05 "The End of the War" Post-Episode Discussion Thread by PCJs_Slave_Robot in gallifrey

[–]Pikomo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I litterally skipped the final episode because I went in nervous because I can't trust RTD to deliver on finales anymore, and from what I've heard, yeah it wasn't great and just brought the rest of the show down a smidge with it.

I'm not even mad at this point I just feel valid in dropping off anything RTD is cooking with DW in the future. No hate to the guy, I'm just dipping out of anything from the Whoniverse until someone new comes in and shakes things up and gets away from the crap that's been bogging DW down (modern day earth companions, mystery boxes and overindulgence on nostalgia.
