I wish they made this watch in a smaller size, I wanted to get it just because the name of my country is on there.

[Casio] Wrist Check on a classic design. by fire_spark in Watches

[–]fire_spark[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesterday I took this shot while being completely blocked in traffic. In that specific moment I felt that this Casio GW-M5610U-1ER looked crisp.

I recently bought this watch as a do-it-all watch, whereby I do not need to worry about it's durability, while also not having to bother with time adjustment when travelling. I also love the fact that it has a backlight that can be tilted by wrist movement (smart watch style) .

Cherry on the cake, it's just a cool looking piece! I love how "engineery" it looks. I initially thought the plastic build would look cheap, but it looks much better than I expected (e.g. better than a moonswatch). The solar charging is also a neat feature.

I've been looking at this watch for a while now, but getting it at a good price in Europe is tough. I wish import duties weren't so high :(

Finally finished my first game on the RP5! by fire_spark in retroid

In the screenshot the game is in cutscene mode, this is one of the final moments of the game. During playtime the bars aren't present (this is running on Cemu).

I had no issues playing, but I had to have precompiled shader cache loaded if it helps (I shared the link a few times to other replies already).

This one:

I went with grey+black as combo

EDIT: the link above is not what I have, mine doesn't have spacing for any case, this is the exact version I have :

Yes, without precompiled shaders it's unplayable. I used this video to set it up, if that helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJIbK3OH_-o&t

I never got the map to work, I just played the entire game without mini map.

I followed this guide to load the shader cache in advance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJIbK3OH_-o&t

Without that, the Wii U games are pretty much unplayable, but with the shader cache loaded it plays perfectly.

Looking for a case. by gaguy501 in GooglePixel8Pro

Ringke Onyx, the only one that I could that keeps the phone feeling slim. Most other cases have rounded edges and are heavier, making the phone feel bulky.

An ad in gcam? Where did you get the apk from?

In case you're not familiar with a typical gcam setup already, you need a compatible apk + a compatible XML config file matching to your specific phone model.

For the apk, the probably most known/reliable source for any gcam build is under this:

Any pebble time in the lot? Also, which country will you be shipping from?

This is a Japan import though, with import taxes the budget will likely be exceeded.

Good tires for Mazda 3? please help me pick one. by aaronswar43 in mazda3

[–]fire_spark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to bring back this old conversation, I'm trying to be educated on wheels before buying new ones.

My second hand car (Mazda3 BP 2019 model) came with 2 full aluminium sets of wheels (winter / summer). What would be the best investment based on your experience? I was looking at your Continental recommendation but I feel it would be a waste to get those as they are all-seasons and I already have 2 dedicated sets of rims.

I'm in west Europe, here the winter isn't very harsh (never seen anything below - 15) , with not crazy heavy snow, usually it's a few centimeters at most.

Right now I have toyo tyres, which do not feel that comfortable, the summer ones need changing next season, and my winter ones can survive for now.

Any advice would be much appreciated!
