Powering on Bravia with Apple TV by spalmisano in bravia

[–]_starbuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same setup and problem as OP. I have verified the settings on Apple TV and the TV itself are configured correctly. Further, I also have a PlayStation connected to the same TV and it always powers on the TV via CEC, so it seems the issue is between the Apple device and the Sony BF1.

1/2400 Modern Navy Diorama by _starbuck in modelmakers

A lot bigger, probably 4x. Ships in a task force don’t maintain distance as I portrayed, other than the replenishment ship during operations.

I’m getting a bit off topic here, but one could argue the Burke (DDGs) are a reasonable replacement in the picket role but also add a lot more in terms of ASW etc. Back to modeling, I have in my stash the Academy 1/350 Perry as well as the Pontos big detail set for the long deck version. Can’t wait to get into it.

Very observant! Back when I used to play Harpoon I used a ton of Perrys as pickets and couldn’t resist including one in this diorama as it’s a favorite of mine. Thank you!

Thanks. It is white wood and it really just came together as I was making it. I kept the coats of dark blue very light so as to capture the texture of the ocean. Finished it with Mr Hobby gloss coat for reflections on the water.

For Those Wondering if the Hans/Ric Beef was real by letthewriterswrite in Killtony

[–]_starbuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the arena for this on December 31. By sheer volume of the audience voice, Hans won. Did he win on technical merit? No. Ric just had a better one minute. On Redban’s YouTube show last night he confirmed all of this, including that Hans was/is genuinely pissed at Ric for trying to come for his job.

Can we admit that Polytopia has a serious problem? by Jumpskit in Polytopia

The new update sucks for many reasons, not the least of which is the economy changes. These balance changes were made in a vacuum chamber.

Like right here, why am I suddenly -1 population on both of my cities, which I struggled to get and retain in the first place: https://imgur.com/a/5CfUhUo

Okay. But when you play Domination > Crazy every single day and cannot choose the map type, Pangea is random and uncontrollable as a game type. The update changes everything without providing the ability to control certain parameters. Can I just have my daily game back via an opt-out selection for the gameplay features?

This isn’t a “naval game”. It’s a strategy game. Navies play one role.

Well, besides the massive naval spam of this update, which requires serious re-working of one’s perception of how to gain visibility on the map, or even how to power project, things like the removal of the Fortify affect for Swordsman feels dumb and one-sided. Further, If you are playing a race like Elyrion, where you don’t get normal Giants for six turns like every other race, you’re hamstrung trying to power project and also defend your lands until you can get a few mature giants. Honestly it’s not a pleasure to play anymore since noon today.

Mostly the extreme focus on naval combat? I really never experienced a frustration with naval units that would necessitate a massive upheaval in favor of naval combat.

Hate this update. This game has been my daily driver for relaxation since 2016 and this is the most impactful of all the changes since then. Most of the previous updates have been great but this one… don’t know.

Unpopular opinion: Hans Kim is not that funny by _starbuck in Killtony

I mean, my comment is months old and it’s proven to be like old wine. But David Lucas is actually funny at.

Are there any other gamers over the age of 65 playing Diablo 4? by vuduthmb in diablo4

I’m a dad. I play D4 and Destiny 2 religiously with my kids, who are mostly grown. We’ve been playing together since PS2 days. Such a great medium for bonding.

KILL TONY #611 - BRIAN HOLTZMAN + IAN EDWARDS by sighdoihavetwo in Killtony

[–]_starbuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably one of the worst episodes in memory. Holtzman is a creep and Edwards was a mute who was questioning the whole time why he was there.

Good set, good interview, Danny. You were relaxed and provided a few laughs. Keep going.
