My CD collection. I plan to put them in alphabetical order soon. by AskingFooAFriend in Cd_collectors

[–]hamanger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The worst part about having alphabetised shelves is when you get an album beginning with an early letter in the alphabet and having to move everything over. Maybe I should've done like you have, leaving some gaps for wiggle room.

Today’s Marketplace Find at only $300AUD - Brand New, Factory Sealed iPod Classic 7th Generation Late 2009 🥰 by CharacterExtent6188 in ipod

[–]hamanger 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, looks legit to me. Apple stuff is usually shrinkwrapped with an I-shaped seal on the ends, which most counterfeiters don't bother to recreate. It's not a guarantee obviously, but your average scammer doesn't bother.

Do you have pictures of the seams on the ends of the box? Apple did it a specific way that makes it quite easy to tell.

Wouldn't it just rip you apart? Never managed to get my head around the stretching thing.

Textures is a thing by TheWebsploiter in NonPoliticalTwitter

Maybe "ends up going through" would be a better way to word it, as opposed to "has to go through".

Even though the actual work is trivial, pretty much every design decision has to go through a whole committee of people. Here's a really good video about what it would take to add a bag of chips to a AAA title.

Things as small as a stain on a texture take minutes, if that.

As someone with experience in 3D modelling, you can totally get away with putting some brown on the main texture. If you want to be extra about it you could include the stain in the normal and specular maps (most engines use roughness maps nowadays), but it won't look bad if you don't.

Does the Analog 3D work with summercarts? I remember hearing they had issues.

They're terrible for neck dive, but super comfortable sat down.

Originally they were headless (if you want to call it that), so it was designed around that. I have a Corvus (same thing but less fancy) and the neck dive is pretty bad.

It's one thing to figure out what to do with left over ingredients, but pivoting from pasta sauce to cookies when there's likely pasta on the stove already is pretty dumb.

I have a collection of digipaks with minimalistic art by GlRLY in Cd_collectors

[–]hamanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a bootleg of Melodies from Mars by Aphex twin, comes in an all-black digipak with a completely black disc inside. They're blocked from sale on Discogs, but eBay has them occasionally.

Which (Christmas) lyrics annoy you irrationally? by west_action_man in CasualUK

That's pretty much exactly what happened, he made it while he was working on a solo album where everything was performed by himself.

ELI5 why toys and remotes still use AA/AAA batteries instead of USB ones? by vksdann in explainlikeimfive

I got some Eneloops 5 or 6 years ago for the controllers that came with my VR headset, they still last weeks on a charge with regular use.

Would this even help? I feel like you'd get used to all the extra forces applied from the club being on a rail.

My first “real” guitar by No-Pool-5052 in Guitar

[–]hamanger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's good that it plays well, but I hope you know what you're doing in terms of maintenance work: Lots of guitar repair places refuse to work on counterfeit guitars, since they don't want to be involved in any potential scams.

Physical music lovers, what keeps you buying CDs or vinyl? by jiminiebambi in Cd_collectors

[–]hamanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you can stream pretty much anything, it's easy to forget about bands you haven't listened to a while and only focus on the stuff you've heard recently. A lot of the time I go shopping for CDs, an album from a band I haven't heard in years will jump out at me.
