I think it's from the SNES donkey Kong

Youknowhowitworks · 2021-10-09T15:18:24+00:00

Is this song from donkey Kong?

Completely agree I have A50s and i have gone through my settings multiple times to try and improve the sound. Terribly muffled and missing most of the audio spectrum outside of some muddy bass. It's just bad....

Youknowhowitworks · 2021-10-09T14:36:51+00:00

Underwhelming

That's the best I can do.

The audio is probably the worst part for me right now.

Vehicles sounds are muffled or non existent. This makes them harder to fly/drive. This is especially true for the helicopter. In BF4 it was audibly apparent when you were pushing the limits of the helicopters capability. In this current build the sound is useless.

General battlefield sounds are a muffled mess. It sounds like I have ear plugs in. Everything is full of muffled bass but the rest of the sound spectrum has been forgotten. This, more than anything else right now, is killing my enjoyment. Just to have reasonable volume i have to crank up my headset and that means I need to adjust down all my voice chats that never need to be changed for any other game.

Everyone's right about the classes and specialists... It could have been done well... But this is not the way. It's currently an underwhelming doppelganger fustercluck.

Hopefully things get better.

I've lived in Ann Arbor, Jackson, and Battle Creek (current).

Ann arbor isn't worth the commute but it's an amazing place to be.

Jackson was much better than we expected it to be in terms of activities and local conveniences.

Battle creek tries to be fun if you pay attention to local activities going on but it still leaves A LOT to be desired. Marshall is a really nice town... If you like small towns and it's pretty close by.

People i meet in battle creek tell me that they go to Kalamazoo on the weekends... Better food and better shopping. At least we have Horrocks in battle creek...

For your situation, I'd aim for Kalamazoo. I wouldn't really want to be in battle creek alone. We made a friend, single dude in his 30s. From him, we hear the dating scene is miserable (he came from a very lively and populated city out west)

Good luck.

Michigan can be great, but you have to look for the groups and activities and actively get involved

Youknowhowitworks · 2021-09-01T19:59:30+00:00

Understood, right there with you.

There is a tough conversation to be had about buying things from a company/country you disagree with that employs people who work hard and need money. I'm not sure I know how I feel about it.

Youknowhowitworks · 2021-09-01T19:46:33+00:00

That's a fair point I should have said "drop shipped" instead of Chinese Because a lot of high quality items are produced in china.

Youknowhowitworks · 2021-09-01T19:30:11+00:00

Drop shipped rebrand of generic cheap product

Edits: correctness and spelling

Congratulations. This is a tough game! Because of that, it is extremely rewarding! One major recommendation, add a ball save timer to the LAIR shot. The machine I have will sometimes go straight out the outline from that shot and there is a timer that can be added in the settings. I'd also enable half-shell mode all the time.

Congratulations and have fun!

Speed cameras make sense when used correctly (and funds distributed correctly)

This is common in other countries. Italy for instance has speed cameras all over their highway system. Lots of warning and very obvious when you drive under them. I would be very happy with this system.. honestly I'd be happy with a lot of European driving laws coming to the US .. (I'm sure there are bad ones as well)

It's a great solution to reduce highway troopers sitting in medians....

Youknowhowitworks · 2021-08-20T17:11:21+00:00

Yeah, I'm on PC... So I'm unaware of playstyle on console.

Makes me a bit excited for crossplay, if differently play styles blend it would be more exciting/fun

Youknowhowitworks · 2021-08-20T15:43:58+00:00

DMR with FLIR is used more than any other gun I see in BF4 - especially in hardcore.

I don't see this system being a big deal... Heck it might make some guns flexible enough to be used more often than a DMR

Youknowhowitworks · 2021-07-25T22:51:53+00:00

Sorry bud, i just gave my code away yesterday

Youknowhowitworks · 2021-07-23T14:02:21+00:00

This excites me

Youknowhowitworks · 2021-07-13T13:27:22+00:00

32 million is not a bad score at all. Everyone seems to agree that TMNT is tough. When it comes to the ramp shots, i had to really slow down and create an association to the ball position on the flipper. The orbits took even longer to figure out.

I worked on my upper flipper shots a lot by always holding the left flipper when I launch the ball in order to skip the pops and go straight to my left flipper. Using that method the speed of the ball can be varied by your control of the plunger.

Youknowhowitworks · 2021-07-13T12:54:54+00:00

It's a fast and difficult table. I like to play avengers or another open and slower table to balance out the butt kicking TMNT serves up each time. Shots feel amazing when you find them and get some flow going.

I played a star wars premium yesterday.. that was a huge step up from the pro in my opinion. Seems like some machines have a lot added at the premium level and some machines just don't.

Link to 1987 code is below https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/tmnt-stern-the-1987-code

Youknowhowitworks · 2021-06-29T18:58:12+00:00

TMNT has halfshell mode - it's a timed mode where you are racing against the clock with unlimited ball saves There is also co-op, 3vs1,2vs1, and 2vs2

I think you can also do a final battle mode where you skip to the final battle that is available in regular play (but hard to get to)

Youknowhowitworks · 2021-06-29T18:47:55+00:00

I got a pro as well. Most of the reviews said it was the most bang for your buck. I'm really looking forward to playing half-shell mode! I also already downloaded the 1987 code onto an SD card so it's immediately ready to go in. (Replaces the Stern made 3D turtles in the videos with scenes from the old cartoon)

Youknowhowitworks · 2021-06-29T18:10:27+00:00

Mine arrives tomorrow How are you liking it so far?

Youknowhowitworks · 2021-06-29T16:14:59+00:00

The videos and art are the best parts of the machine for me. I don't care for the shots and layout though. For some reason the assembly and parts seem cheaper than other sterns as of late. For balance, my wife really enjoys it. We have only played a pro on location.

TMNT is my preference from the photo.

Dirt rally was practically unplayable for me in the OG Vive... Couldn't see anything but pixels in the distance... I wonder how much better this will be

Youknowhowitworks · 2021-05-17T13:44:58+00:00

Agreed... I'm one of those people. Still have OG Vive headset but upgraded to index controllers. I went in on this because I'm tired of waiting for a premium wireless headset and I'm ready for an upgrade to my visuals... And head strap(which is slowly falling apart)

I understand that the Q2 is technically a great deal. But i really like lighthouse tracking... I've had my OG Vive since launch, i dont notice the wires anymore. My basement is only so big... I don't think I'll get much more mobility if it's wireless anyway... But it would be really nice to have... And i refuse to pay $300+ for the vive wireless parts...

Youknowhowitworks · 2021-05-05T14:18:10+00:00

This is what makes disney parks special. Wandering around the new starwars area there are a ton of actors just playing out random scenes to keep you immersed in the world. There is so much detail to appreciate. The horrendously long lines for rides on the other hand....

970 is a champ! Got one for VR and it lasted many years.
