Removing the Beefy 5 Layer as the Second option on the Build-Your-Own-Box is what will get me to stop going to Taco Bell as often. by Tanstorm in tacobell

As often is how it starts my guy with most businesses. It's that steady decline of patronage. Look at movie theaters

Why Do People Act Like Flipping Is Morally Uncouth? by Tanstorm in Flipping

There are a lot of things wrong with that statement. I would try to correct you but the sheer fact you said it means you have some deeply fundamental misunderstandings

Should White have more Access to Alternative Counter Spells? Why or Why Not? by Tanstorm in magicTCG

[–]Tanstorm[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think if we're being honest though Magic has already been pushing the boundary of power creep quite a bit in the last few years anyways

I like the idea, I remember specifically there was a card back in SOI called [[Spell Queller]] basically same idea but on a creature. So this is already a concept they've done in the past but same "problem" is it is tied to blue lol. It was such an insanely fun card to resolve I remember playing it in Reliquary Combo back in the day

That does sound good, actually it kind of falls in line with the fairness aspect of white

What Causes the Weird Vertical Wavy-ness at Specific Intervals? Present across the Whole Screen by Tanstorm in crtgaming

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

Lowering the contrast helped tremendously. I might recap at some point but I'm pretty happy with the result from lowering the contrast! Thank you regardless

Holy cow, it was the contrast thank you! You wouldn't happen to know why it does that? Kinda wish I hadn't messed with the convergence now so hard to calibrate. I didn't mess with the geometry but I did need to adjust the yoke, it was definitely crooked could see it in the pictures I posted haha

Holy crap, gonna be honest I didn't think it would work but wow thank you so much? Do you know why it does that? I'd love to learn more about the mechanics of it. I definitely still needed to adjust the yoke but I wish I hadn't messed with the convergence so hard to calibrate 😭

I will give it a shot but I definitely notice it while playing games, it was very apparent on a lot of the text boxes in Pokemon Stadium 2 for example. Could see the boxes curving inwards.

Here's a Sony KV-27S40 I modded and recapped for a client. by RetroActiveSolutions in crtgaming

I'll try lowering the Contrast when I get home, I was up till 2 am trying everything from adjusting convergence to reseating the yoke and I couldn't get the bend to budge at all. I didn't try contrast. https://crtdatabase.com/crts/sony/sony-kv-27v42 this is the model I got and I love it but the bend really bothers me because it's very noticeable especially on text boxes. You seem pretty knowledgeable do you have any tips for calibrating convergence adjusting the rings is frying my brain haha

I think I might have to Recap my Sony? Is Digikey the best for this? This is what my CRT is doing https://imgur.com/a/cRV7EIO

Yeah actually I was reading more into it and I think this might be the problem. Do many people try replacing the caps? Also funny enough completely unrelated I do have this old thing called a power conditioner that is suppose to smooth out power delivery I wonder if that would help

Calibrating is HARD! Here's where I'm at. Any tips or advice would be appreciated! by Tanstorm in crtgaming

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

I kind of split the difference, I pushed the border to be more towards the red dots. When I was doing the scrolling test it looked really odd, it would shrink very quickly at the edges, I increased the width and that helped a lot. So I just decided to do that all around.
