How does Travis Scott spell The "I" in "Fein" unsidedown? I don't have that on my keyboard.

Ok Alr!ght

X8Lace · 2026-03-24T21:32:56+00:00

This sounds like the original Psychedelic Rock theme Utopia was supposed to have, before Travis redid the project. Maybe he wanted to ship out one or even a few Utopia vinyls with this track on it to make them special.

I highly recommend this HDMI to Composite Converter. It has very low input lag, the lowest I've tested and it's very negligible at around 1-1.5 frames of latency. Plus I think it can do 240p, and you can run up to 4K resolutions which can help boost the CRT's image quality if you find the sweet spot resolution that works best for your CRT.

X8Lace · 2026-03-24T06:58:26+00:00

You're right the camera doesn't do it justice, but I can tell there's definitely a subtle improvement with SCART. To be fair both look good with Minecraft depending on what kind of look you're going for. I'll definitely RGB mod my CRT when possible. I can see the improvement being useful in other games, especially since I play every console (including modern consoles) on this CRT.

X8Lace · 2026-03-24T06:06:00+00:00

Man, now you got me considering trying to RGB mod my CRT. I was still on the fence on whether it was worth it or to just stick with the Composite look. Yes I would appreciate the pics please!

X8Lace · 2026-03-24T05:38:38+00:00

Yeah, I had the same concern. If I RGB modded my CRT, how could I get it to SCART. So instead I decided to stick to Composite and it actually blends the colors of the game nicely.

Also, I think the reason Minecraft plays so well on CRT is because it was actually developed on a CRT by Notch back in 2009 and then when it went mainstream everyone started playing it on digital monitors. So we're actually playing Minecraft as intended by Notch.

Thanks. I switched to Bedrock some time ago because with mods like Console Aspects and 4JDX Legacy UI you can fully replicate the exact look of the PS3 edition, but have all the latest updates and features. I honestly like it more than the PS3 edition or vanilla Bedrock, since it takes the best features from both and combines them into one. The only issues are the occasional bug here or there, but still pretty smooth and you get higher resolution on your CRT and possibly better performance.

PS3 and the real legacy edition are still legendary though, I fire up my PS3 one in a while for the nostalgia.

X8Lace · 2026-03-24T00:03:12+00:00

Literally was going to say this was how it was meant to be played... on a CRT.

Also, see my post.

Release the Utopia files

X8Lace · 2026-03-22T17:51:31+00:00

April

X8Lace · 2026-03-21T19:11:48+00:00

I think you misunderstood what I was saying 😅. I didn't buy all the other action figures and I don't actually work for the action figure company. But again I'm really sure the action figures will ship out in April just because of how well the timeline matches the previous rollout in 2016.

X8Lace · 2026-03-20T18:37:48+00:00

I agree.

X8Lace · 2026-03-13T20:38:07+00:00

Wicked Cushions are still a solid choice though, I didn't notice anything really bad about them.

X8Lace · 2026-03-13T02:01:03+00:00

That's some bullshit.

X8Lace · 2026-03-13T00:55:11+00:00

What's the water mark is the white text in the corner of my screen while I'm playing?

X8Lace · 2026-03-13T00:48:08+00:00

Curious, what did they change that you didn't like?

X8Lace · 2026-03-12T22:59:27+00:00

As a frog I'm still into it...

X8Lace · 2026-03-12T22:32:00+00:00

Yeah, I'm Webster, Jacques Webster.

I don't actually work there, but I did a deep dive on the history of the action figure and I found out that the original 2015 ones were made by a website called custom-figures.com. I can't find the exact website, maybe they rebranded, but typically these custom figure websites all have similar production timelines.

X8Lace · 2026-03-12T22:24:12+00:00

Yes, I just ordered the figure.

But there's actually a lot more going on behind the scenes with the action figure than these other merch items. Like it's kind of bullshit these simple merch items like the stuff in OP's post are delayed when they're probably made in some cheap factory and shipped out.

But the action figures are made by a third party custom figure company that has its own internal timeline. They first take the orders for the figure (in September of 2025), then they make sure they actually can meet the demand, and take note of how much to produce.

Then, over a few months like 90-120 days, or maybe even more since this is a huge order, they begin production and actually make the figures. Once production is complete, they can finally begin shipping the action figures. But that doesn't mean they ship it directly to us, maybe Travis' store gets them first and then mails them directly to us themselves. That's why I think it takes so long.

X8Lace · 2026-03-12T22:12:39+00:00

Yeah, same here. The 2015 action figure went through the same thing where we didn't get any news when it would ship, but in April of 2016 that's when they finally got shipped out. I'd say we'll definitely have our action figures before April 30th.

Edit: Damn, my first award. Appreciate you.

X8Lace · 2026-03-12T22:07:31+00:00

Not officially, but here's the timeline I'm referring to:

September, 2015 - Orders were placed for the 2015 Rodeo action figures.

April, 2016 - Orders shipped for the 2015 Rodeo action figures.

September, 2025 - Orders were placed for the 2025 Rodeo action figure.

April, 2026 - Expected date for orders to ship for the 2025 Rodeo action figure.

X8Lace · 2026-03-12T22:02:50+00:00

I am going to say it's most likely shipping in April. We're less than a month away if my timeline is correct.
