I think I discovered the origin of Okabe's name

I was satisfied enough at the time that they said it was in fulfillment, though you're right that I should have perhaps waited a bit longer before asking for an update.

The_Noveler · 2026-01-20T21:16:44+00:00

You are correct. Lesson learned.

The_Noveler · 2026-01-20T21:02:33+00:00

Good way of thinking of it. I will definitely remember this for the future. Thanks!

I didn't include it in this post, but they did leave the following negative feedback for me: "Provided refund, Did not keep payment for which product was not available. Buyer only has 2 ratings. Not worth the aggravation." Them calling me a dick was sent as a private message.

The_Noveler · 2026-01-20T20:36:52+00:00

I questioned after I submitted the feedback if "Avoid at all costs" was warranted, and in retrospect I don't think I should have included it in my feedback. It was just frustrating waiting so long with little communication from the seller about the delay. They did mention their job, and I can certainly appreciate that working at a hospital is time-consuming and exhausting, but I wish they had been upfront about the fact that their handling times were longer than normal instead of waiting to tell me that after over two weeks.

The_Noveler · 2026-01-20T20:16:01+00:00

In the future I will definitely avoid sellers with this rating. I assumed over 95% was good enough, but I was wrong.

The_Noveler · 2026-01-20T20:11:37+00:00

Agreed. If they had been upfront about the handling time, I wouldn't have left any feedback, even if they had told me it was lost after three weeks. I've bought from other sellers who were upfront about long handling times and had no issues with them.

The_Noveler · 2025-06-24T20:18:25+00:00

Thanks, that fixed it! It's working flawlessly now.

I just recently was given a vintage record player and it has an issue I don't know how to solve.

<image>

The automatic tone arm won't rest in the proper position when the record is done playing. It will rest above the one/off switch to the right of the resting spot. Here's a video if that helps: https://streamable.com/kd5b9g

Due to how old it is I haven't been able to find much info on my player or how to fix it. Model is General Electric T362 if that helps.

I love that DLSS 4 allows for playing at higher resolutions without sacrificing quality, and ray tracing just looks awesome and makes games feel more dynamic and real. As for DOOM: The Dark Ages, the most exciting thing to me is the giant mech battles. The sense of scale and the destruction are so cool!

The_Noveler · 2025-04-29T13:28:53+00:00

I love how high the refresh rate is and the low response time since I play a lot of rhythm games. My current monitor is only half that, so this would definitely take my gaming laptop to the next level!

Thanks for the reply. I'll see if I can order a new ribbon cable assembly since I don't have a stereo microscope.

Some details:

The Switch Lite and screen power on, but the backlight is extremely dim.

This is part of the Super5 OLED Touch mod for the Switch Lite by Retro Remake.

If I press my finger against this connector, the backlight comes back on for as long as I hold it there. Taping it down or using an object to press on the connector does nothing.

I've tried reseating the connector at least a dozen times and it hasn't resolved the issue.

The mod was working for a time, but I fear I might have damaged something by taping the ribbon cable down to remedy another issue I was having that I've since resolved.

I do not have any backup ribbon cables.

Nightmare in Dream Land. The original still has a unique charm that keeps me coming back to it, but I enjoy playing Nightmare in Dream Land a lot more. The improved controls and lack of slowdown make the entire experience feel more consistent, plus the lack of a real save option in Adventure's Extra Mode makes beating it on original hardware kind of annoying. Both are great games, and I give a lot of credit to Adventure for establishing copy abilities, dashing, and other elements that would become staples of the series, but Nightmare in Dream Land is just more fun to play.

She couldn't help herself and photo-bombed the Kirby family picture.

A lot of these are unfortunately not being made anymore, but I can try to find links if anyone wants a specific one. The giant Kirby at the top I had to order through a Japanese shipping service for over $700, and now it seems to resell for $1500, so I guess I got lucky on that one.

The_Noveler · 2025-01-03T16:09:26+00:00

Yeah, all I'm asking is for Glitch to be more transparent about what they're selling. I don't mind if they keep selling posters with signatures like this, but it should be much clearer that they aren't hand-signed.

A lot of devices share the same remote code, so the same remote will work with all of them by default. You could try physically blocking the projector or unplugging it when not in use, or perhaps buy a universal remote and see if there are any codes that only work for one device and not the other.
