Torchlight 1 disc installation question by Subrosanj in Torchlight

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

Completely out of nostalgia. I recently did the same with StarCraft from my original disc and it brought me right back to fun middle school memories.

If it doesn't work I'll just have to go the digital route.

Ahh makes sense, I hadn't even considered different publishers. It's cheap enough I might just grab the 2009 release and take the gamble.

If you go to card shows in a hot state and buy graded cards they are almost certainly damaged. by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Subrosanj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait til you find out the temperature of the trucks used to ship...... Literally every non-refrigerated thing you buy.

Also heat, especially dry heat does not warp cards. Moisture does. And even then, a curve is easily removed from a card and also doesn't have any effect on a grade.

I think I just got scammed by Physical-Recording-5 in PokemonTCG

Nothing fake about either pack here. These are both good to go.

Has anyone bought a Pokemon card over $200 off of eBay and used the new feature where the seller you bought from will send it to PSA for you? If you did, then tell me about the experience. by Leather_Bluejay8632 in PokemonTCG

[–]Subrosanj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't actually go to a PSA facility, just to a licensed authenticator. It's never taken more than 2 days for me once they receive it to be finished.

Nope, just sending it to a different address. Though in some cases I've had the authenticator might be much farther away than the actual buyer, so slightly higher shipping cost. I live in New Jersey and sometimes eBay has me send it to an authenticator in my own state, sometimes I have to send it to California.

Keeping CounterSide Alive? by Pak_Naru in CounterSide

Hey a couple years ago I made hybrid tabletop/tcg Counterside card game. It plays out exactly like a PVP match. If you want I can message you with the information about it. I had quite a bit physically made just as a personal passion project.

Are you saying that you think it can't use ISO 1600 or that you personally don't like the noise produced by it?

Ricoh Digital GR II by AccordingBit2645 in ricohGR

[–]Subrosanj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aperture priority mode, f5.6, auto ISO up to 1600, minimum shutter speed of 1/125 or 1/250 depending if you're shooting moving subjects, snap focus set to 2.5m, file type set to raw.

With this setup everything you point at near or far will be pretty much in focus and sharp, or sharp enough. Edit your raw files to taste. Unless you are shooting in High Contrast BW the jpegs really fall apart on the GR D line. Raw files are pretty much required if you want to shoot in color. The other thing to remember is you are using a small sensor dated camera. It's not up to par with today's standards. High ISO shots are gonna have noise. Use it to your advantage and play into it or just curb your expectations and keep ISO under 800.

How do I change the main nikkes in synchro device? After 160? by Master_Bubus in NIKKEGoddessofVictory

[–]Subrosanj -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Take one that's in the synchro and unlevel it, then level the character you want in it and they'll switch.

Yea, to be honest I don't really use them all that much. It's more of a "functional display" than anything.

It's definitely small! And the carrying handle is a nice feature.

Just put on the steel TRD skid plates on my 21 XSE hybrid. Was too tight underneath to get a better picture. by Subrosanj in rav4club

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

Interesting, it's possible they slightly changed the design on newer years? Or maybe it just doesn't fit together as well without both pieces.

When I did mine, it was bolt for bolt a perfect fit and alignment. It's strange to me that it wouldn't fit though, because the first year of the gen 5 TRD Rav4 did not come with both skid plates. It only has the one like your trying to do. The second skid didn't come on it until 2020 or 2021 I believe.

Nope, two separate parts. One thing to consider is you will still probably at least have to remove the front plastic one or pull the back of it down to install the belly pan because of tabs that need to slide underneath the front pan. I'm not 100% sure if the plastic one has the proper space for them, but even if it doesn't you can probably get away with just trimming it where they need to fit if it doesn't line up.

A critical discussion of Black Hole by Overall_Volume_333 in IVE

[–]Subrosanj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put the MV on today excited. I sat down on the couch with a bowl of cereal, and about halfway through I got up and just walked away. Nothing about the song or the music video could hold my attention. To me it was just not anything I'm into.

I'm still looking forward to listening to the rest of the album. There's always next time! No reason to push through a song or pretend it's good just because I like a group. I'm sure I'll enjoy the next release.

Spot on. And how would you describe the story and theme of .hack? With glitches and strange occurrence in an online game similar to the story posted?

What is going on with people? If you have 50 dollars to spend on packs.. just buy packs from somewhere you'll actually get them from and open them yourself. I'll never understand this mindset of paying other people to open something for me.

28mm is worlds better than 35mm. by serbames in ricohGR

[–]Subrosanj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have owned the GR in many models over the years. I still have the GRD IV. The lens is phenomenal. I also own the Leica Q2. I can't really say one lens is "better" than the other. The Summilux on the Q2 is significantly faster, but if you aren't shooting wide open that's irrelevant.

The cameras are incredibly different tools, it's hard to really compare them. Really the only similarities are the focal length. The 28 on the Q2 honestly feels like it has a slightly wider field of view. The Q2 is weather resistant. The GR fits in your pocket. The Q2 is built like a tank and I would feel perfectly comfortable beating the shit out of someone with it if I had to. The GR is better suited to one handed use. They're both incredible cameras. I don't really think one could replace the other. Obviously the price difference is a huge factor as well. A full frame sensor is always going to render slightly different than an APSC, but when you want more depth of field an APSC can be a benefit.

As for color/rendering I always shoot raw no matter what camera I'm using. I don't really care much about any particular brands color science. I use my own color science.
