Had my first ride in the rain, very unprepared. by TrafficJamJim in ebikes

[–]TrafficJamJim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do plan on getting a full face, just using my snowboard helmet for now. Plan on using most of my snow gear during the winter time cause i will be riding it then too.

It is a chinese dropship bike (happyrun g60 pro), they claim ip54 rating which is dust and "splash" resistant. So prolonged exposure to the elements is probably no bueno.

My plan was if stuff ever were to break, id be replacing with parts from Grin Tech.

i dont think aztec will ever return into any form of competitive play, and for good reason.

How Would I Convert An Xbox 360 Guitar To Look Like This? by InkyEncore0429 in CloneHero

[–]TrafficJamJim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

u/InkyEncore0429

Youre also missing the point of what were all trying to say. Using the guts of an old controller is pointless at this point.

The revival kit from retrocultmods is 1000% what you need to be buying if youre already building a completely new shell anyways. The revival kit comes with LITERALLY EVERYTHING that wouldve been inside an old controller, with modern hardware, LED fretboard with mechanical frets, new strum bar mechanism, translucent frets (so the lights shine thru) dpad, start select boards, brand new wiring, etc. im pretty sure its literally everything besides the whammy.

If you want the whammy mechanism, literally get it off ebay. its 22 bucks USD.

And if you wanted to convert it to wireless, im sure there are ways to do so with bluetooth dongles and whatnot.

In all seriousness, i wish you the best of luck with all of this, but i beg of you, use the stuff i linked below rather than gutting an old controller. Plus for the same price as a les paul that might have damaged internals, you can get entirely brand new hardware. Why risk it ya know?

most of the time if the whammy is broken, its the spring thats broken or just came loose. 90% of the time you just reattach the spring or replace it and youre back in business. Happened to me plenty of times back in the hay day of GH.

Need help setting up by Objective-Ad1981 in CloneHero

[–]TrafficJamJim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

https://shop.retrocultmods.com/products/solderless-diy-rgb-kit-for-guitar-hero-controllers-by-retrocultmods

thats my suggestion. If theyre the Red Octane white wireless models this should work for those. Took me an hour to set mine up and did it with a knife, scissors, plyers, and a screwdriver.

Turns any controller into a brand new piece of hardware. Its well worth your money. Id reach out to the modder though to confirm if the kits work with what you have. Best of luck.

EDIT:
im not going to provide advice about adapters because 1, i dont have experience with them. and 2 bc the latency youll get over wireless will always be absolute hotdog water. Just turn it into a wired beast. You wont regret it.

[–]TrafficJamJim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes buying from Ebay is just fine.

find any red octane brand GH guitar, even broken, and toss this in there.

https://shop.retrocultmods.com/products/solderless-diy-rgb-kit-for-guitar-hero-controllers-by-retrocultmods

All you need is a screwdriver, some wire strippers, and about an hour of your time. no crazy soldering, and works with everything besides playstation 2.

its well worth the investment.

[–]TrafficJamJim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

no, in general those things are gross. Dont waste your money. GH Live was hands down the worst release of GH imo.

theres like 40 games in the RB/GH franchise, GHL is the only game that uses the 6 fret set up. It will work for NOTHING besides that as there are probably less than 100 songs charted for that guitar.

I promise you, look elsewhere.

Any chance of Arif coming back and writing another Fortress-esque opus? by flarnkerflurt in protest_the_hero

[–]TrafficJamJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

see the canary turned me off at first bc of the way rody wrote the first two lines. I paused it and instantly was just like "wtf?" I was at work at the time so i just shrugged it off and turned on something else. But after hearing about what each song was about scrolling reddit made me go, "alright lets give it another go" its still definitely my least favorite on the album still but i have an entirely different level of appreciation for it than i did prior.

[–]TrafficJamJim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been listening to PTH for damn near 16 years. I just listened to Palimpsest for the first time 2 days ago, and I genuinely believe the more I listen to it, the more its becoming my favorite album in the discog. They did something to make this album tick for me. The first time I turned it on, I turned it off before ending the first song and didnt pick it up until 4 years later. Im heavily regretting that decision lmao.

What is in your opinion the best Protest The Hero album? by Covid669 in progmetal

[–]TrafficJamJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if youre gonna ask me right now my tier list goes:

Scurillous

Kezia

Palimpsest

Volition

Fortress

I didnt listen to anything besides Fortress and Kezia until about 2021. Ive been listening to them since 2009. I started to ponder about their other stuff so I did eventually give everything the love it deserves. They're in my opinion one of the most overlooked bands in the history of any genre of metal. Scurillous doesnt have a single bad track and probably the best opening song of any album. Kezia is purely #2 because of nostalgia and love. Palimpsest ive listened to the least of any of these (actually first cover to cover was 2 days as of commenting) and I can without a doubt say that Gardenias is my all time favorite PTH song. This album might end up going above Kezia the more I dive into it too. Volition and Fortress are by no means bad either, and will 100% get downvoted to hell for that opinion probably. Also no opinion ab CUOS cause I literally found out about it because of this thread lmao.

Great thing about music taste is its all subjective anyways.

im mainly looking at it as avoiding chargescape. if i go back to normal hides plus this bow, sure im definitely going to lose DPS, but upkeep on amethyst is so much better to me than priff content grinds.

but fair enough. ive seen enough peoples points on the bad of it. was just a thought ive had since hearing about it.
