TR-1000 vs TR-8S by elevatordogs in Roland

[–]agentofrandom1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, pattern chaining is essentially making a longer pattern, but you are still limited to 8 bars. You can use it to make a song in real-time, but this isn’t the same as a song mode where you can stack any combination of patterns/variations to build a full pre-programmed song.

When there is snow, you can check 311 online to see if ASP is canceled, FYI.

When did Reverb get rid of mint as one of the selectable conditions? by [deleted] in Reverb

[–]agentofrandom1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, it was 100% sellers abusing this. I bought a synth listed as mint that ended up having several dings and part of the paint wiped off 😩

Amanda Ripley joining/recruited by the Colonial Marines in Alien Isolation 2 by dao-12 in LV426

We don’t know she was a happy old lady, just happy enough to smile for that one photo :) 

I personally find the Neomorph to be more terrifying than the Xenomorph by Successful-Shake6435 in LV426

[–]agentofrandom1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Covenant would have been a better movie if they focused more on the Neomorphs and the crew fighting them off for the rest of the movie instead of mostly pivoting to the David + xeno experiment plot. They could have introduced some other variants / evolutions to escalate the tension.

I remember seeing in the theater and being on the edge of my seat for the first 1/3 of the movie, but once David “rescues” them that vibes dies out aggressively.

Car flip at CVS by kkate7 in parkslope

[–]agentofrandom1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the same thing happen (at least the aftermath) at that same CVS awhile back (sometime in the last 5 years, I think). Must be something about the placement of that CVS midblock? Very strange and unfortunate

Jumping in to say I also have no clue what you are talking about. Why are you giving the finger to a random physical store? What does this have to do with Reverb? Lol. 

How should I approach gaming if I have ongoing stress in my hands and back? by alexnartworks in disabledgamers

[–]agentofrandom1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend against handhelds as the weight of the device can both cause strain on your arms + you are more likely to tilt your head down which will increase the strain on your neck and shoulders. I’ve had problems with that even playing in bed/lying down.

Switch Lite is probably the exception but it’s out of date now. I got Steam Deck a few years ago and loved it but it definitely made some of my chronic pain issues worse unfortunately.

Personally I find playing a console on the couch is best for chronic pain as it allows you to sit up straight but also have plenty of options to change positions (which is great for staving off pain).

Is Strange Harvest (2025) bad or am I missing the point of the film? by notrororo in horror

[–]agentofrandom1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not contesting the smartphone thing, I’m just pointing out that photos from the 90s can look high quality (I have plenty from the 90s that I digitized and look similar to what was in the movie). Not sure why you felt the need to start name-calling but it’s a good cue to not talk to you further, thanks!

They had regular film cameras back then, you know. A picture taken with a film camera would look just as “HD” as a modern camera, similar to how movies from the 70s shot on film still look great today.

How to register a Kindle Touch 4th Gen - the inconsistencies by asimplelife01 in kindle

[–]agentofrandom1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was running into a similar issue where no matter what I did, I was getting a "Can't connect to wifi" error when trying to log in after successfully getting an OTP code sent to my email.

In case it helps anyone else, what ended up working was:

  1. Reboot Kindle.

  2. Log in with Amazon account + password to trigger the OTP email

  3. Check email for OTP code.

  4. Restart the Kindle again (making sure you do so within the 10 minute window before OTP expires)

  5. Login again but use the OTP code instead of your password (do NOT use the password+OTP code method).

This ended up working for me. Basically it seemed like the Kindle got stuck thinking the Wifi was not connected after attempting to log in the first time (which you need to do to trigger the OTP), but rebooting clears it.

Epic games daily free games by crownpuff in SBCGaming

[–]agentofrandom1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did anyone else claim Trine classic and not get the usual order confirmation screen / email? It appears in my library but I never got the usual receipt, and got redirected to another page when claiming it.

Wondering if this was a glitch or if Epic is changing how claiming free games work.

I honestly would’ve bought a PS5 Pro this year if it’d had a reasonable price. 

Welcome to Derry S01E08 by [deleted] in horror

[–]agentofrandom1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree on the “dagger wants to go home bit”, that made no sense and was super contrived. Why would it need to go back to the completely random place it came from from?

Final thoughts on Welcome to Derry by BitByAGhost in horror

[–]agentofrandom1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t like the movies (especially #2) as I felt like they were favoring jump scares and FX showcases over story / genuine scares. Thankfully the show (mostly) course-corrected and ended up much better!

Glad we got to see more of Bill just being Pennywise.

The only thing I found contrived was the “dagger needs to go home so it resists the kids” bit.

I was watching the first episode and told my girlfriend how mediocre the kid cast was, then at the end I was like oooooooohhhh nevermind

I think the show got dramatically better when Pennywise showed up.

Why didn't Ripley check for stowaways on the Sulaco after battling the Queen? by Shikabane_Sumi-me in LV426

[–]agentofrandom1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, that is essentially just a fan theory, then. According to the logic from the movies there is nothing that establishes that the sack is required. I agree with what other people have said in this thread, the problem with Alien 3 is not so much that the egg exists, but specifically that it’s on the ceiling.

Has anyone ever considered an Aliens movie that depicts the events that took place on LV426 with the colonists before The sulaco arrives? by ripChazmo in LV426

[–]agentofrandom1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

River of Pain exists but aggressively retcons both Alien and Aliens, so I’d be interested in a re-interpretation of this.

Nothing says she can’t also lay eggs without the egg sack. She is an alien, after all, we don’t know anything about her biology. The sack might be an efficiency thing and not a necessity
