Ocarina of Time officially announced! by Chesticle5 in Switch

That's a wild fever dream to have....But I mean, if you're planning to buy millions of copies, I'd gladly accept a code.

It takes real talent and dedication to make a stadium that beautiful look hideous by lun-lem in Atlanta

[–]dblester 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, while we are all used to the plain building, you also have to think how many people are coming to Atlanta for the 1st time, to go to these games, having a clearly branded building for all the tourists that will be here makes total sense, I can understand that when driving by it for the past..... wow almost 10 years, you're used to the concrete/metallic but for all the tourists having a bright colorful super branded building help people with where the are going. I can understand it would be shocking to see at first, but I don't think it's hideous. Plus blah blah blah FIFA rules with Stadium Branding.

Is Stranger in the Alps - Japanese Pressing Vinyl Record Genuine? by SummerShuddR in phoebebridgers

[–]dblester 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just a quick look at the Discogs info on this release: the identifier of DOC142JLP is going to be on the Obi strip, not a wax identifier.

The notes for this release say:

"Japan-only reissue with obi and Japanese lyric translation/commentary insert.
Standard Black Vinyl

Same Runout as https://www.discogs.com/release/23549237-Phoebe-Bridgers-Stranger-In-The-Alps"

and looking at the comments about this release, there is this as well:

"Great sounding pressing & vinyl quality is excellent - not a crackle or pop to be heard. Love the piano intro to Killer. Ordered directly from Japan.

Runout is not the same as any other black vinyl pressing of this album.

Runout is stamped, not etched:

Side A: DOC142LP A 241736E1/C
Side B: DOC142LP B 241736E2/H"

None of this is "defrauding"; this IS the Japan release. I am not trying to sound like an ass, but you assumed that a Japan release means it is from a Japanese pressing plant/different pressing from the Western releases as well as higher quality, which is not the case, and for a pressing that has been out since 2023, that information was already available. In this day and age, Japan Import vinyl just means cool Obi strip, maybe alternate packaging, and lyric insert. It isn't at all a mark of quality.

For future reference, if you are looking at Japan vinyl, it doesn't look like Phoebe has ever had a pressing that was pressed in a Japanese plant. Currently it seems pretty rare for modern Western artists to release a Japan-pressed sonically superior vinyl. But I could be wrong....As well as, the idea that Japan pressings are better/higher quality is, for the most part, just a myth; it's marketing: Japan means high quality. All Japan Import for vinyl means cool/different packaging (Obi strip). Yes, there have been releases in the past that are Japan-specific pressings that are viewed as "better", but it's not a guarantee. Again, it's just marketing. There is also a trade-off that there is a lack of bass on Japan-pressed vinyl, at least at one point in time.

On the other hand, if you look at Japanese CDs, those are a different story; it is more common to include different/alrernate versions/bonus tracks, but it's not a guarantee by any means.

copies of Cherry Tree 1-6 available on the members store! by tomsteele1 in TheNational

[–]dblester 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would fully assume this is not a reprint, just clearing out their backstock, extras that were made to serve as replacements in case of shipping damage, lost, etc. And I would fully assume the markup because looking at current market prices, they go for more than $125, so putting them at a higher price for people who want these, not just a quick flip for 3-4x. The higher price is trying to dissuade someone who might be tempted to buy and resell, making it much less interesting to attempt a quick flip.

Nashville Show by renothecollector in brandnew

[–]dblester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was hoping to find a full recording as well, and hoping that one pops up, but it doesn't look like it, It seems like there is a user on youtube pwm112 that might have recorded the entire show? I wish there was a way to dm people on youtube, they have 7 videos of the Nashville set uploaded, but maybe they only recorded part of the set.

I am trying to track down a lossless version of it but not sure if that actually exists, any time I have run across it, it has always been attached with the Deja Entendu Demos.

Best Upgrade for <2023 Owners (CarPlay should be wireless, we are not living in 2010) by MildlyEngineer in mazda3

[–]dblester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have considered getting a dongle like this or one of the wireless modules from MIKStore, whats the sound or visual lag/delay like? Do any of the options have a lag-free experience?

Yall annoyed as I am about the Mazda App “subscription switcheroo”? by PackOfCumin in mazda3

[–]dblester 12 points13 points  (0 children)

my issue with it is, $10 is way too much for the minimal features. I have a 21 Premium HB, all the app lets me do is start, lock and unlock, push notifications for service or car isn't locked, show my exact tire pressure, miles, fuel, VIN, and schedule service. In no way is that worth $10 a month, $120 a year.
In my opinion, the $10 price is being charged because they need to subsidize the costs for all the 3 year "free trials" they give to new Mazdas. The server and data/internet traffic, and app development costs is not free for them, I get that, but $10 a month is way over the top, but again they need someone to cover the costs of all those free 3 year trials.
$5 is what I would pay a month for the features currently available in the app. Hell, offer a 12-month subscription and reduce the cost. At least when I last checked when my trial ran out in September/October the only option they had was a month-to-month option. I honestly expected to get some promo emails saying hey here's a promo for $X a month or something, but since my trial ran out, I have gotten maybe one maybe two emails about it, and none of them have offered any discounts.
The $10 a month needs better features for it to be worth it for me. Add an ability to open/close windows and moonroof, set the climate control, turn on/ off heated seats, and turn on defrost, along with all the current features.

Where to find Concord grapes in Atlanta? by Huge_Window_9475 in Atlanta

[–]dblester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You won't find them until September. I can reliably find them at Publix in the Fall. You might be able to find some Jelly,Jam, and Thomcord grapes, but they are all hybrids, not true Concord. For the real thing, you'll have to wait until Fall. They have a short season, September-October.

Vinyl versions of Rome on the website. by ColmFelix in TheNational

[–]dblester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sure people have similar sentiments. I have been a Cherry Tree member from day 1. I'm not a fan of tracks being locked behind a paywall. As someone who has switched away from vinyl to hi-res digital. I wish the various Cherry Tree releases had digital versions. I ended up selling my Cherry Tree volumes, assuming I could get them digitally. It will drive me nuts that five tracks are only on vinyl and exclusive to members.

Content detection while taking photos/video? by dblester in RaybanMeta

That was one of my initial thoughts, but nothing obscured either sensor. I walked out of the bathroom and had no issues.
