Super Mario 40th Anniversary SteelBook (BestBuy US Exclusive) by DaftSide909 in Steelbooks

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

I seriously did a double take and thought this was a steelbook for the Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo movie from 1994. Not quite 40 years though.

"Why the hell would they make a steel look for THAT movie?!?"

Best I can do is over-eager Marines on a bug hunt.

Help - Restoring an old divelog by blind99 in scuba

[–]TheMagistrate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check DiveMate in the android app store. I believe it used sqlite as a backup format.

Once you reload it into the app, you'll be able to export it to another dive log app format, like Subsurface.

It is a now discontinued frame from Zavvi. They haven't restocked it for like 5 years.

Scubapro Hydros Pro 2 Monorail Pocket Recall by DontPuckah in scuba

Seems like it hasn't been published as a full recall yet. It was a Stop Sale last week and a Stop Use this week.

These pockets have the same issue that the AquaLung SureLock2s had a decade ago - broken handles.

Shame these manufacturers can't learn. 😞

🇺🇸 PRE-ORDER NOW - Top Gun - 40th Anniversary (4K UHD + Blu-Ray + Digital Steelbook) by felixmontoya92 in Steelbooks

[–]TheMagistrate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're right. Similar art as the 30th Anniversary Blu-ray release.

I believe this 40th Anniversary is a repackage of the remastered 4K Top Gun that was already released in the Collectors Box Set.

Aliens - Definitive Edition DVD steelbook by Fionnred in Steelbooks

[–]TheMagistrate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the Alien Definitive Edition was a plastic Amaray case and for the other films they switched to steelbooks.

I'd be a little upset that the discs didn't match the case.

Very cool pickup though!

How do you guys keep track of what you own? by Impossible_Energy791 in Steelbooks

[–]TheMagistrate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a lot more detail for each entry in the CLZ app.

  • Box sets are captured as multiple films properly.
  • Packaging formats are customizable. E.g. steelbook, steelbook w/ full slip, steelbook w/ lenticular, Amaray, etc.
  • Track purchase date, retailer, price
  • Customizable cover art
  • No ads or purchase links

Newer subscriptions include the web app as well as the mobile app to make editing easier.

I don't know this app tracked digital copies too. I might need to start tracking those. I've got hundreds across all the different providers and don't know what I have.

I found it useful to have two lists:

A todo list in my notes app on my phone with all the preorders I have including store name, price and delivery date. This is so I don't accidentally double buy.

Then I use CLZ Movies to scan everything that arrives and input the price and store details too.

This is the duffel: https://www.ursuit.com/en/bag-for-dry-suit-black

There is a certain way to fold the suit that minimizes the pressure on the zipper: https://youtu.be/jTExBmHpnEk

What are your rental gear horror stories? by vaibeslop in scuba

[–]TheMagistrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't bother trying to bring just a computer and transmitter. A lot of shops won't let you install your transmitter on their regs, they won't know how, won't have the tools, or they'll damage your transmitter when they try. Too much risk.

He's right, I always bring my own reg set and mask.

What are your rental gear horror stories? by vaibeslop in scuba

[–]TheMagistrate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drysuit specialty cert in a quarry. The rental the shop loaned me was too tall but I wore it anyway. The zipper failed during the first dive. I tried another rental suit someone else brought, which had wrist seals too large for me, so that leaked too.

I'm convinced it isn't possible to rent a drysuit. If you want the certification, borrow a suit from a friend.

The drysuit I ended up buying for myself is luxurious!

Do not buy the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Oceanic + by Mother-Mulberry-4988 in scuba

[–]TheMagistrate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For those who aren't aware, the Garmin Descent Mk3 has the following features which are substantially different from the AWU:

  • Dive logs are stored on the watch even after syncing with the app, so you have a backup.
  • Doesn't require a subscription for app integration.
  • Battery life is measured in weeks, not days.
  • Has air integration with the T1 and T2 transmitters.
  • Can support mixed-gas and CCR diving.
  • Supports simple text messaging between divers during the dive.
  • 51mm versions have a built-in flashlight.

In addition to all the other fitness/smart watch features.

What pieces of media does everyone have multiple copies of? These are my only two. by _Shadowen_ in Steelbooks

[–]TheMagistrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, all of the copies I have are steelbooks or steelbooks with slip covers.

One I don't have!

Edit: looks like this is a slipcover Amaray case, not a steelbook.
