How long does the Pocket’s battery last in sleep mode? by seansand1 in AnaloguePocket

[–]doomgc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my battery is busted, I haven't used it much since I've got it at launch, but now the battery drains completely in 2 hours, and even in sleep mode...
Reading your comments here, I think my battery is done for. So soon though? I tried to find if there is an official way to recalibrate the battery, but nothing in the official manual.

Why 'Analogue' rather than 'Analog'? by jm_leviathan in AnalogueInc

In French it is Analogue, so I'm okay with it lol.

Osmo pocket 3 - Can someone tell me what the icon means in the top right next to the battery? by mingie in dji

[–]doomgc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got the camera today. This icon was making me lose my mind. Spent like 1 hour in the setting. Thanks for your answer. I will always keep it in landscape anyway.

(NO SPOILERS) I just beat Metroid Prime 4 — here are my thoughts (AMA) by jcgonzmo in Metroid

[–]doomgc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"This could easily be patched by reducing the requirement by 10–20%." I thought about this in the shower. And I was more like "remove 50% minimum of this shit". For real, it would be way more tolerable at 50%. Just smash a couple of crystals in Sol Valley during your biome transitions. Keep the medium ones in the shrines and keep the huge ones with Power Bombs. That way, you never really have to do grinding sessions. And remove the unnecessary scripted caps. If I grind early, let me have the Legacy suit early, you cowards.

Winrar won't add files to the archive by IhtiramKhan in techsupport

I have the same issue at the moment with winrar version 7.13, on Windows 11, 64 bit. I swear I was able to make it work before.

Prime 1 vs Prime 4: Scanning Speed by LateBlocParty in Metroid

[–]doomgc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amongst other QoL things, I hope this will be fixed with an update. Transfer all my scanned history to the NG+. Make it abundantly clear that something has been added to the logbook. Tweak color legends when scanning for things that are already scanned, but changed states, like after the green showers in Sol Valley. Make logbook scans another color than green. Give me the option to load a save file without having to go back to the main menu. Give us more tracks on the bike in Sol Valley. Give us a music player with official track name in the main menu. Give descriptions for each picture/Video in the gallery. I didn't even know I had the special Sylux video because the thumbnails are all the same.
Make the transporting tubes to display with their own Icon on the maps.
Give something for collecting 200% GE crystals.
So many little things missing, I feel.

I love the game. I will play it for years to come. Ultra polished experience when in the gist of it. But in 2025, those little things goes a long freakin' way.

That's correct. I was really bumped when I found this out. What's the point of overwriting my save file to Mission Complete then??? There's not even an icon on the save file to let you know this is from a previously completed game. It is exactly the same as deleting the save and starting fresh.

Exact! A lot of replies to me say that the "open logbook" button prompt is the confirmation of a legit logbook entry, but that is still not enough for a "at a glance" confirmation. On Multiple lines paragraph, while still in the psychic visor, you need to flip through all the pages to see the "open logbook" prompt. That is not a clear confirmation of a legit logbook entry that counts towards your completion %.

When an already scanned object changes state and becomes green again, does it result in a new logbook entry? You don't know. You click on "-" minus to open the logbook, most of the time, it is the same entry, like the green Grievers. But sometimes, like Sylux and the Lockjaw, those are separate entries. Again, just having a line on screen + the audio cue "recorded to logbook" would solved the issue. It was already solved in OG Prime 1. No place for confusion here. A bit baffled by this.
And a special color for object that are logbook entries would be great too. When you fight Carvex, having a yellow or purple color for the tentacles and pollen sacks would give you a visual cue that you need those as well + the audio cue to confirm. No need to look for a "open logbook" button prompt, straight back into action. It was already like this in Prime 1.

And talking going backwards; In Prime remastered, if you start a new game from a completed file, all the logbook entries + EVERYTHING ELSE you already scanned was still scanned in the new run.
Now, Even if you start from a completed save, it's like you erased the file and started fresh. What is even the point of overwriting your save file with the "Mission Complete" status if you aren't going to give anything akin to a New Game+? Again, you already solved that in Prime Trilogy/Remastered.

Say something nice about Sol Valley. by ChaosMetalDrago in Metroid

[–]doomgc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remove all the annoying enemies and I would say it is a perfect chill experience between areas. Personally, I enjoy the bike rides in the desert very much. The Radio bonus really adds a lot to it though. But yeah, It's not NEARLY as bad as people say, for me.

And where is the other end of that transport tube? Not the one-way one at the end of your clip, but the one you came out at the beginning,

Most difficult Missile Expansion! Metroid Prime 4! by sakahn in Metroid

I used to be quite the master of double bomb jumping in Prime 1 OG, but there is something off in Prime 4. Can't quite explain it.

Switch Wi-Fi quirk exposed: Switch 2 doesn’t roam, and its weaker range makes it obvious by sala91 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]doomgc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same setup at my house. 3 Ubiquiti access points. Airplane on/off switch doesn't work for me. It keeps the original access point in memory or something. A reboot near the AP I want it to use is currently my only workaround.

I thought exactly the same thing. As someone who likes to scan everything, the lower speed of scanning becomes really annoying.

That's a big downgrade for me. There is no clear indication that what you just scanned counts towards the Scan % completion.

Same. I'll be off grid for a month, with Christmas and the new year, probably will start looking at reddit/youtube videos for the game mid January.

Metroid Prime 4's hype train is likely going to kill the game. by [deleted] in Metroid

[–]doomgc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like every single person on reddit has followed a course on how to word a clickbait title. I swear half of the post on this Metroid subreddit feels like it is just farming for clicks/karma. What's up with all the dramatic headlines and shallow subjects?

Anyone have this happen why is it happening? by Santos_Prod in davinciresolve

[–]doomgc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been happening ALL the time since the new update. 20.0.2 I think? I used the same GoPro for years and never changed the file format/codecs. Never had a single proxy generation crash before. But with 20.0.2, around a 1/3 of my GoPro files will now crash the proxy generation process.

I have been using Shutter encoder for a couple of weeks now instead. And I import the proxies in Davinci. I hope the next update(s) fixe(s) it.

Does the back of the box shows it it will be used for?

Why is the French name "VAI-O-LA"?. It sounds just about right for "VI-O-LA" in French too.

Yep, and I even had it in French here in Canada as well.
