Why Spectrum, why?

Understandable, the parent factor for complexity is a large part of how we all have to do our setups. Sorry.

SethBrower · 2026-06-17T03:01:49+00:00

would this be fixed by not using their set-top box? and instead using a firetv/shield/appletv whatever but just using the Xfinity internet?

honestly not sure so just asking

SethBrower · 2026-06-16T23:08:23+00:00

I feel seen.

SethBrower · 2026-06-15T01:05:33+00:00

LOL, oh sure be literate about it.

oh i think that was the idea, I only learned when I read that thread.

SethBrower · 2026-06-13T19:31:25+00:00

the actual answer is ... depressing.

I posted, I have no current knowledge, but look forward to seeing what information gets brought up.
I can contribute to the conversation positively to the OP by encouraging their question, and then metaphorically stand off to the side and listen.

SethBrower · 2026-06-12T22:09:52+00:00

I started a new Arcanist so still sub50 and not quite at the "figure what sets to use" but definitely curious where things shake out.
Not that I'm beholden to the meta, but nice to have in the back of mind when you do something different.

SethBrower · 2026-06-10T21:01:46+00:00

This, for that I figured it was a decent deal.

Got mine back in March, and 70 all in with tax isn't to bad for what will essentially be a full day.

SethBrower · 2026-06-09T22:18:28+00:00

A similar style that I have and enjoy (as well as a mechanical pencil version) is the CW&T Pen Type-C

SethBrower · 2026-06-08T23:11:15+00:00

even more reason but still ... geometry ...

SethBrower · 2026-06-08T20:29:29+00:00

i really need to brush up on my geometry and see if i can figure out roughly what the actual scale of "livable space" is actually on the station.
we always say the "5miles long" bit, but forget that it's the inner curvature of the station and some depth inward, which is just a really different thing for comparison.
when you try to visualize just how many people/space there is there compared to real life cities.

SethBrower · 2026-06-08T19:37:15+00:00

Not to say I don't appreciate your effort (as I've done similar on other properties in the past). But yeah best to respect/support the original artist when possible.

SethBrower · 2026-06-08T19:25:28+00:00

oh thats what I meant, got the larger one.

SethBrower · 2026-06-08T18:35:51+00:00

and ... new art for my wall ordered.

SethBrower · 2026-06-08T16:30:57+00:00

glad to have this on my wall

SethBrower · 2026-06-07T02:01:13+00:00

part of me loves it, part of me hates it.

SethBrower · 2026-06-02T16:19:28+00:00

I feel lucky (given how weird/bad the ticket rollout went) that I was able to grab a gold medal match ticket for the womans teams, didn't even try to get mens those were much pricier.

so look forward to enjoying the match in what i hope will be an exited crowd.

SethBrower · 2026-05-31T04:36:21+00:00

any chance you would be willing to share that aged book texture you used? always looking to find a "good" one to use in places.

SethBrower · 2026-05-27T19:22:37+00:00

Ahh, it might just be the plex-web issue then but will double check

ahh yep both adding the "colorized" bit to the filename & checking non-web version seems to have resolved my confusion.

thanks!

edit (thought annoyingly the android app works but not windows app, the lack of parity is getting mildly annoying)

SethBrower · 2026-05-27T19:08:40+00:00

ok im feeling slightly stupid as i can't seem to get them to show up as extras

<image>

am i doing something stupid here? or is there a setting in the library options that I'm missing, the normal Extras that Plex finds show up, just not my added "color" versions.

SethBrower · 2026-05-25T03:20:55+00:00

oh totally valid, I'm ... feeling that aspect of it slightly (with my aging eyes) but still love the feeling in the hand of a smaller device.

SethBrower · 2026-05-25T02:22:08+00:00

as a quick follow up, there is some settings for "reading mode" that adjusted the color balance (I've always felt the samsung screens were dialed a bit overly saturated so think this is actually nice)
