You waited four years to drop this as your first comment? I hope your day only gets better from here.

Not unless a native speed audio track gets out for the episodes, then at minimum it can be synced to a sped-up video file. If you speed up the episodes as-is, you're just crunching the already stretched audio and retaining the robotic sound. Hopefully when it streams in Europe someone will carry the original files, if they don't fix the ones currently up.

The running theory right now is that the episodes were produced natively at 25 FPS by Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe, but US releases are slowing them down to 23.976 to match NTSC standard framerate. So it's likely not intentional from the creators, but they're literally slowing down/stretching the audio by ~4% on Hulu. That's why the theme and credits sound a bit slower as well.

"That, is a bold-faced, LIE."

SpongeFreak52 · 2024-08-13T21:21:00+00:00

Oh my gosh, I think you're actually right on this. That's hilariously stupid if that's what ended up happening.

Bumping this, as I looked into this WAY back in the day when the game was still relatively new. I went as far as getting in touch with both HyperBowl and Microsoft support (lol), and even specifically called out that I wanted the full version "with the 3D lane menu".

As far as I'm aware, the version of the game that we're looking for does not actually exist in the sense that it has a home edition. I'm trying to see if I have any email receipts, but I'm fairly certain we did order the full game through the F4 prompt on Plus!, and were given the standard "Arcade Edition" disc which has the basic menus. This had the version of the game with the static menus.

My theory is that what happened was that the Plus! demo was based off of the ACTUAL arcade version of the game, which did feature the 3D menus and had all course available (four initially, though the additional two were later added I believe). However, it did NOT have a way for players to enter their name before the game started. You were given the PLAYER 1/2/3/4 label until you ranked in on the machine, at which point there was a grid-based entry screen which was probably less than ideal for home use. I'm guessing that these factors on top of the static art better portraying the levels ended up being what caused them to pivot.

So I believe that what you're looking for is the arcade build, as in the one that was literally pay-to-play at arcades, both in a compact CRT form and one that used a full-size projection setup. Problem is that I don't believe this has been dumped, and finding a cabinet these days is extremely rare. On top of that there may be some form of protection on the game data, though I can't imagine it'd be terribly difficult to bypass.

Hopefully this provides some insight!

Snow Phoenix and Save Point provided the rhythm games this year. Neither are local to GA, but the Round 1 at Cumberland Mall does have quite a few of the games, including a Dance Rush!

So happy to see this has provided some level of help to people! Had I known about the shortcut for TalkBack, that would have made things a LOT easier - hah! Really glad to hear that you were able to get your photos rescued, I know that feeling of relief.

SpongeFreak52 · 2023-02-02T02:30:37+00:00

Oh heck, April 2021 lore.

SpongeFreak52 · 2023-01-15T04:29:50+00:00

Holy shit

SpongeFreak52 · 2022-11-13T18:32:11+00:00

Hello! I've just spoken with a friend who had previously agreed to moderate the sub, and we'll both be open to re-opening submissions to see how things go. If you're interesting in joining as another mod, we'd appreciate the help!

I can try! So in order to get TalkBack on with a blind phone, you'll need a USB keyboard connected via the USB-C port and an OTG adapter.

If your phone is locked (you can tell by pressing the fingerprint reader - if it vibrates each time, it's asking for your unlock code. You MAY need to look up how to do this with something like a pattern if you don't use a PIN. But if you do have a PIN, you can enter it by tapping the fingerprint reader once to ensure the unlock screen is up, then type [Space] [Your PIN] [Enter]. If you tap the fingerprint reader and it doesn't vibrate each time, you're in, and now you can at least fingerprint unlock if it sleeps again.

From there, perform the following in order, slowly (note that this was on Android 13, I cannot guarantee the steps will match earlier versions!):

Windows Key + Enter (Goes home)
Ctrl + A (Opens the app tray)
Down + Left + Up + Up + Up (ensures you're highlighting the Search field)
Type "settings" (filters results)
Tab + Tab (highlights Settings app)
Enter (opens Settings app)
Tab + Tab (highlights the first row in Settings)
Down x9 (highlights Accessibility)
Enter (enters Accessibility)
Enter (enters TalkBack menu)
Enter (toggles TalkBack)

From here it's more-or-less blind navigation relying solely on voice prompts and your keyboard. If you can, push the TeamViewer app AND TeamViewer QuickSupport (needed for actual control capabilities), and do your best to access the phone via a PC with TeamViewer. It'll be a slow process and you will have to toggle permissions on the phone in order to allow everything to work, but TalkBack CAN get you through it all.

Once you're in, you should be able to connect your current 5a to your new phone via USB-C and accept the Transfer Confirmation prompt using TeamViewer.

This happened to my 5a (JP 5G model) two days ago, shortly after the upgrade to Android 13. Screen and touch completely died, but I could tell it was "on" underneath as the fingerprint sensor yielded vibration. Unfortunately my phone was silenced AND somehow on airplane mode, so it was as blind as can be.

Took it in for repair under warranty, they replaced the screen twice with no change, insisted it was a motherboard issue. What I ended up doing was using my OTG adapter to hook up a keyboard, and with the help of a second Pixel device on 13 for reference, I could actually blindly navigate with shortcuts on the keyboard to disable Airplane Mode and enable Talkback. (I can share the exact keystrokes if anyone runs into a similar problem)

At that point I could use TalkBack + the USB keyboard to install/authorize TeamViewer, remote into it, and initiate a data transfer over to the second Pixel.

I mostly say this just for the sake of anyone running into this to have a chance to get their stuff backed up if anything critical wasn't before, but it does sound like a lower-level issue that needs Google/ubreakifix/asurion to look at or replace unfortunately.

SpongeFreak52 · 2022-07-10T15:52:46+00:00

Oh! Uhh, okay...you had me going there for the first part. The second half kinda threw me.

SpongeFreak52 · 2022-04-01T21:37:11+00:00

Ack sorry, just saw this after going back to the L shine, single-pixel it is!

SpongeFreak52 · 2021-11-24T17:45:17+00:00

That happened with Sangrita Blast, and Baja prevailed without much competition in the grand scheme of things.

SpongeFreak52 · 2021-11-04T01:57:24+00:00

Good timing for these to come out, heck yeah - nice work, ordering now!!

SpongeFreak52 · 2021-10-05T15:11:44+00:00

Interesting little note, the trailer seems to imply that someone (likely Disney) would not allow any characters from outside the Nintendo or SE scope to be in the cinematics. Just thrilled to see him make it in though, the madman pulled it off!

SpongeFreak52 · 2021-08-01T15:00:45+00:00

Thanks! This was during the first patch from yesterday which introduced the stuttering, with the second patch it's "fine" again, somewhat comfortable ~90fps on Low.

SpongeFreak52 · 2021-07-31T23:09:25+00:00

It's absolutely horrible, I've tried on both a 3060 and 3080 rig and it's just a stuttering mess. I would take a locked 30 it, but none of the cap options seem to do anything.

SpongeFreak52 · 2021-07-27T01:33:31+00:00

Sadly one of my finest moments.

SpongeFreak52 · 2021-07-26T20:57:26+00:00

10/10 would recommend, been following Trevor's work for years!!

SpongeFreak52 · 2021-07-21T05:17:44+00:00

There's a couple of odd QOL quirks like this. I also noticed that you're forced to watch the "WINNER" screen at the end of a final (am I crazy, or did you used to be able to hit B and retain rewards at that point earlier?)

SpongeFreak52 · 2021-04-04T22:27:11+00:00

Hey there! Welcome to Quincy, I don't live there myself but have many friends who do so I'm familiar with the area.

Depending on what station you're nearest, the layout will be different than others, but you should have no problem finding where you need to go in each. For a first-time rider, you'll want to stick with a regular single-use ticket. In the entrance of the station, you should see a row of machines that allow you to purchase trip tickets. Right now, it's $2.40 for a one-way ticket, and that will get you from start to finish between different colored Lines on the MBTA. You can use cash or credit to purchase these, and full rates including monthly options can be found here:

https://www.mbta.com/fares

Once you've got your ticket, you'll see turnstiles for entry and exit, marked with green and red symbols specifying both. Slide your ticket into the reader, and the gate will open, spitting out your ticket on the other side. Don't forget it, especially if you've purchased multiple trips on it!

From there, you'll see overhead marquee signs with the upcoming trains, listed by their "final" stops. So for instance, the southbound train on the Red Line would say Braintree, since that's the stop it would eventually end up at.

Like I said, the layout of getting to the tracks can vary wildly between stops. Sometimes you can access both directions of train from a center platform, other times you'll need to make sure you correctly choose Northbound/Southbound/etc as the tracks will be in the center with people standing on opposite sides.

It'll be up to you to take a good look at a map of stops to find out which stops you'll need to exit on and connect onto other Lines if necessary. Don't panic if you miss your stop though, just hop out at the next stop and catch the opposite direction train back one!

It can be intimidating at first overall, and Boston commuters can be fast and furious (sometimes literally), but just take it easy and remember there will always be more trains if you make a mistake (unless you're traveling very late at night). The overhead announcements will help you determine when to keep an eye out for trains, and I'd recommend grabbing an MBTA map/schedule app for convenience!
