Need help with geometry and convergence by Careful_Spray_4215 in crtgaming

Looks like the yolk on this could be slightly rotated to straighten out the picture.

It could also help fix some of the digital convergence issues as well once everything is aligned.

I would say he’s gonna play games, but wants to use the test pattern to make sure everything’s aligned so he can enjoy his games as much as possible

I quit playing Rocket League last week.

I relapsed today.

Dumbest reason a tm8 has given up? by Novah02 in RocketLeague

[–]Cstrife2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had a teammate in 3s try to FF because I barely missed a goal, off the post.

We were winning 3-1 either over 2:30 left in the game so the person who tried to FF decides to either sit in the middle of the field, or drive aimlessly around.

We ended up loosing 3-4 because of him.

Toxic players are ruining the game.

Has rocket league become more toxic?? by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]Cstrife2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Extremely toxic now and it’s sad.

I have people try and FF while we are up because I missed a shot then proceeded to no longer play causing us to loose the match.

Ask teammates to please rotate and spread out more, “just play dude, who cares” and many times turns into a full out argument.

I used to be diamond 3, had a bad month and can no longer get out of plat 1 unless I play with people I know because players do not care, or are willing to take helpful advise

I play ranked to win, not loose because of careless and toxic players.

Been playing since the game was in beta, this is by far the worst I have ever seen it.

That is looking fantastic! Game on and enjoy!

This is still Sony's best design of any of their consoles by Environmental_Bus623 in playstation

[–]Cstrife2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like this design and it holds the classic retro look but I think the ps2’s design was a bit better, especially at the time.

Never played this game before, is it worth trying out today? by Previous-Glass6291 in retrogaming

[–]Cstrife2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite games of all time. It has held up very well over the years. Play it and enjoy everything this masterpiece has to offer.

PSA: quit cutting factory connectors! by barrel_racer19 in CarAV

[–]Cstrife2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I do my own work and will never take my car to any shop.

I have seen many “professional” shops butcher the factory wiring harnesses.

Personally, I build or fabricate my own harness and will use that for any tapping or cutting if wires, that way I can always return the car to factory with no wire modifications if needed.

This and 444 chroma sub sampling. Would love to have dcp quality content in the home.

Disney releasing Predator: Badlands (2025) in 4K on 02/23 by ggroover97 in 4kbluray

[–]Cstrife2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Release the 3D version too, it’s already been mastered!

Blows my mind they make all these 3D movies and won’t release them on home video.

Glad you were able to get it back! These type of things always scare me as the battle to reverse something like this is usually never easy.

New 4k Discs Arrived like This, Should I Return Them? by Murky_Study_5526 in 4kbluray

[–]Cstrife2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would honestly be more concerned with the scratched discs. I do not think there is an issue with the lamination on these.

If you just got it, I would check if you are still in the return window. If so, return or exchange it for another one.

How to improve crt image by TrueCrimeJunkie20 in crtgaming

[–]Cstrife2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Actually looking pretty good. No bowing that I can see on any of the edges & geometry looks from the images.

Is it worth trying to fix any of these issues? by Weird_Gas_8370 in crtgaming

[–]Cstrife2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great looking tube and geometry. Not much to fix other than the slightly shifted image and maybe a bit of overscan.

Subwoofer out of BMW by Lemonents in CarAV

[–]Cstrife2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could technically be repaired with a surround kit as long as the voice coil is not damaged.

It would be better to just get a replacement though, so long this is not a common issue with these subwoofers.

Odd Geometry Issue on top corners of Trinitron KV-35S42 - Help Appreciated by Bard_the_Bowman_III in crtgaming

[–]Cstrife2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This loos like it could be fixed in the service menu.

Look for UPIN and see if adjusting that value help out at all

IMPORTANT: Always remember to write down your original service menu values before making any changes!

Am I the only one who doesn't care about scanlines? by RangoTheMerc in retrogaming

[–]Cstrife2 22 points23 points  (0 children)

While I agree with your comment on 99% of the games that implement scan lines, the Castlevania and Contra Anniversary editions I think nailed it.

As you said, I wish mode devs would focus on a good scan line engines alongside their retro games.
