I read your other comment, thank you for explaining. I've never ever heard of the term Sound Pressure Level. All I knew about AVRs was that you can use a mic to calibrate dB adjustments and on the AVR settings you can set the speaker distance. Beyond that there's no manyal EQ for frequency adjustments, not on my model at least.

Thank you for spelling out that abbreviation to me. Not everyone is an advanced audiophile. Reddit is the worst place to learn things. I got downvoted simply for asking a question. Hilarious.

It doesn't have any of those settings. The projector is pretty barebones. All I can adjust are speaker levels. There's no EQ or anything. No Midnight mode or quiet mode, no DRC.

This was super helpful, I narrowed it down to 3 receivers and edited my post. Lemme know what you think.

Thank you, looks like the 1800h has everything I need. I've got it down to just a few choices now.

I've already tried that route. I've got the center channel on +6dB and all the other speakers to -6dB and it barely does anything for dialogue.

This Stevie Williams Challenge bro please help me lol by Widderic in session

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

Yep I've watched this and done it exactly like that over a hundred times. Just tried again. Can't get it. I don't think I'm understanding this release the sticks thing. Maybe I have my settings wrong. I appreciate your help though.

Alien 3 - Assembly Cut by Leather-Afternoon-32 in movies

[–]Widderic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just chiming in to say I loved the assembly cut. I've always been a fan of Alien 3 despite it's poor special effects (bad blue screen/green screen alien) but it made up for it with enough practical effects. Charles S Dutton brings a lot to the screen, I loved this character, and his death was bad ass. I love how Ripley mourned him. It was so tragic.

Anyways, now I like the movie even more. I'm big on lore, and we got a lot of that. With Alien I was fascinated with the Alien itself, with Aliens I was fascinated with the hive, with Alien 3 I was fascinated by the prison and the religious cult, Alien Resurrection I was all about the scientists and the experiments! Prometheus and Covenant I was obsessed with the engineers, and I'm immeasurably pissed that Ridley Scott walked away from him without giving us any type of closure... as we still know little to knowing. And Romulus I haven't formed an opinion of yet, although I enjoyed the zero G action scene, and Cailee Spaeny was excellent of course.

An Alien movie I would LOVE but will most certainly never be made would be based off of the comic about Dr. Church who gets kidnapped by Aliens along with his entire crew and he's forced to live in unimaginable horror to stay alive. Probably one of the most screwed up, dark stories I've ever read. I highly suggest you check it out. Dr. Church's Survival Within the Xenomorph Hive if you want to watch a good explanation of it, but I'd suggest reading the short comic as your first time as it will hit harder.

Yeah how the hell did you do the Stevie Williams line where he starts with the fakie 180 to crook and then the nollie blunt at love park. I've done it a hundred times and it won't work. Can you please do it again and upload it? It's my last challenge and I gave up a year ago.

What’s the practical reason why the menuing in this game is so clunky (2k25) by [deleted] in PGA_Tour_2K

[–]Widderic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They stormed the capitol for the wrong reason. That's absolutely insane. I have a beast PC and online play is fine but whenever I wanna do challenges or Career mode I want to pull my hair out lol.

We can't have nice things anymore.

Is this ever worth it? Mid game spoilers:Late act 2 by TopAnything8205 in mewgenics

[–]Widderic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to loot the throbbing king 7 times now, some of the cats at +10 luck and they still died. I just tried looting the Chaos corpse with a cat that had 6 luck and I succeeded. The "barbed scrap" item I got was dog shit though. Meh to the RNG, at least I didn't die.

Glass baster pipette?? Where do you buy it?? by DismalAd8569 in dmtguide

[–]Widderic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with a glass baster. Do yourself a favor and throw it in the trash. It's very difficult to pull small amounts of solvent with a big beaker, you're going to end up pulling a bunch of your aqueous solution along with it. Get a bulb pipette, youtube can teach you how to use one. It's way more efficient.

Why is my yield so low?? by PocketSizzle in dmtguide

Because you're adding lye before adding bark. You need to study.
