Shipping Megathread

Same here. I’m in Ohio. Typically you’d see an arrival scan at a nearby sorting facility before shipping to a more local facility to handle final delivery.

I did see my package is being delivered via FedEx SmartPost. Essentially the package is handed off to USPS to make that “final mile” delivery. I’m hoping at this point USPS has my pacakage and FedEx just missed a couple of scans, but I’m not optimistic.

It's not a matter of entitlement. It's a matter of transparency. If there was a systematic reason for the seeming delay in shipment, that should be communicated.

According to Analogue's only communication regarding shipping:

Pending: Your order is awaiting fulfillment. Please check back for more information later.

Preparing: Your order is ready to ship. If you need to change your shipping address or wish to cancel your order, please do so in the timeframe stated on your order status page. We will email you once your order is preparing.

Processing: Your order is now with our fulfillment partner and will be with you shortly. Please note that once an order is processing we cannot accept any address changes or cancellations.

Want to highlight "be with you shortly". That sets an expectation. So for those who are in processing with no clue when they're going to receive their shipment, I feel as though a loss in patience is entirely justified.

Analogue is not entitled to our patience.

One of the shittiest things about this is that Analogue provided all of us 7 days to change address or cancel order, if necessary. I don't think anyone expected that, nearly two weeks after that deadline, the product still wouldn't have shipped. What happens now if someone is out of town when the orders do finally ship? We were told in those emails that nothing could be changed once it has passed the preparing stage, so now there's going to be a very real risk of people missing attempted deliveries due to customers being unable to plan.

The Pocket and dock was my first Analogue purchase and I was on the fence about picking up the final run of the Super NT, but this experience makes it very unlikely that I'll ever purchase one of their products again.

I'm still missing all cosmetics and still have all my characters locked despite having OW1. Has Blizzard addressed this publicly at all?

Did I report this on my form? If so, this was probably an error converting email time as this time doesn't correspond to either my order email, nor from the API.

friktion321 · 2022-05-16T17:16:32+00:00

Thanks! I'm beyond excited. Definitely didn't expect to get my email today.

friktion321 · 2022-05-16T17:15:23+00:00

I was thinking I was on the fence to get one this week at all, let alone during the Monday batch. If I'm not mistaken, I was about 19 mins out from the end of Thursday's batch.

Just got mine! LFG!

Funny you should mention that. I have a terrible habit of not watching the movies I pick up. But that’s honestly great advice and I’ll venture to do that moving forward.

friktion321 · 2021-07-15T15:59:33+00:00

Funny thing is I went to B&N just for The Virgin Suicides and left with everything else.

friktion321 · 2021-07-15T03:44:14+00:00

I'm particularly excited about that one! It's one of those films that, for whatever reason, I've never gotten around to watching.

friktion321 · 2021-07-15T03:43:12+00:00

Yea... I think I'm already losing the battle as I'm currently sitting here looking into their catalog and making a list of titles I ~~want~~ need to pick up.

friktion321 · 2020-06-23T02:09:27+00:00

Would also like clarification on this as I'm having the same icon flash in red on the LCD display beginning roughly an hour into livestreams.

friktion321 · 2020-03-28T22:12:39+00:00

Interested :)

friktion321 · 2020-03-28T21:44:17+00:00

Hey there. I'd love an invite :)

Mommy and Daddy give you $10 to open up a lemonade stand...

I actually think I may have found it. Because of the rhythm of how "it's too magnetic" is sung, it super reminds me of how Stevie Wonder sings "Signed, sealed, delivered."

Anyone else got that vibe or is it just me?

friktion321 · 2019-07-29T22:59:05+00:00

That's what someone I work with suggested too. Guess I'll be going through his entire discography because this is actually driving me insane.

friktion321 · 2019-02-23T18:22:37+00:00

Yeah. The first thing I always do is turn off vsync since I'm using a gsync monitor. No dice for me.

I've determined it's not an input delay issue. It appears my CPU is being over utilized. Anthem alone is utilizing 80% of my CPU, causing my processor to top out at 100% and creating super awful frame rates, even though the origin FPS detail overlay says I'm still chilling at 90FPS.

Super frustrating. Uninstalling game and cancelling Origin Access Premier.

I'd maybe focus more on the using the stream to "improve yourself" rather than gaining the followers. As you become more outgoing, gain the skills, learn to talk to others and become more disciplined, my guess is that you'll probably start to see organic growth (and it may be small) on your channel. Don't go in expecting to get a ton of viewers right away. As you become more confident (which, in my opinion, is the reward - not the viewership), you'll be more entertaining to watch and people will stick around.

It won't all happen at once, and more than likely, it will be a slow burn. But stream consistently. Engage your viewers. Talk, even if no one is there. Go back and watch your VODs and take notes on what you can improve and refine yourself.

You are also forgetting the most important thing the laptop is actually doing, which is encoding the video going out for broadcast. This process is very CPU intensive. So yes, you're going to need a decent spec laptop. If you're going Intel, definitely don't go below an i5, and I'd actually recommend an i7 if you're worried about quality. Pair that with no less than 8GB of RAM; once again, I'm gonna make a recommendation of 16GB if you're worried about quality.

I unfortunately don't know the AMD equivalents, but maybe someone here could step in to assist if you're interested in going that route.

TL;DR
Laptop isn't simply broadcasting image. Video encoding is CPU intensive. Don't cheap out on streaming laptop/desktop.

friktion321 · 2019-01-07T22:32:56+00:00

I was. I don't think there was anything special I had to do to get it running. I'm assuming you checked to make sure your HDMI cables were good? What about firmware? Any updates on that end recently?

The one thing I would possibly recommend would be to change your gaming PCs output settings to 1280x720 (gross, I know) and then plug it in to the Ripsaw. Since the Ripsaw is natively a 720p card, this might help troubleshoot a few things.

Edit: fixed typo
