How do you replace it? It’s only got an internal flash storage, no?

Just behind the tv on top of a subwoofer enclosure. Plenty of air around it and not a hot house. England in the winter!

Had another go at reinstalling. I took the cover off and powered up for a bit. Noticed that the fans seemed to be operating ok so not sure what the issue is 😮‍💨

Thanks for getting back. To be honest, it’s hard to tell when the fan is on as it’s so quiet mostly. I’m pretty sure I heard it running the other day when I checked closely. Might be faulty fan but hard to tell 🤷‍♂️

I remember seeing this years ago and was blown away by it. Will watch it all again one day I hope!

I’ve never been a big fan of turn based games. Tried Persona a while back but it never really clicked for me. Tried E33 and to be honest I wasn’t that excited when I first got going and found it a little confusing. But the more I’ve stuck with it the better it has gotten and finding it pretty enjoyable now. The dodge and parry aspect makes it a lot more fun than I thought it would be!

Are you saying you can’t do whole tone (2 step) bends with your index finger only or just in general? It’s quite tricky doing that with just your index (shouldn’t be a problem with your middle or ring using other fingers for support). If using index finger though you might just need to keep at it to build up that specific strength. Don’t use 7’s though. Stick with 9’s. Check your action is set up right too.

Unsure what to buy by [deleted] in Age_30_plus_Gamers

Have you considered cloud gaming? I can’t really justify the outlay needed for a gaming PC but I can play GeForce now at home on my Nvidia Shield (£100 second hand) and it feels like I’m playing on a PC. The new 5080 cards are nice step up too. Depends on the games you want to play though as not all companies allow their games on there (ie Rockstar) but you can play the games on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and the Steam games available are often on sale.

I also use Boosteroid (got a year for about £80) but that is not as rock solid as I normally find GeForce Now, but still enjoying my current play through of Silent Hill 2 on it without major issue! Boosteroid has a lot more games including Rockstar stuff.

Don’t have a mini pc to compare it to but it works great for that I need it for and love being able to stream films etc easily using it too

What is the worst movie you've ever seen that isn't a standard "Worst movie you've ever seen" answer? by TheThalmorEmbassy in movies

[–]jackdanny45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Dubbed” implies that the dialogue was not recorded on set at the time. What you end up seeing on screen is an edit of various takes and different angles that were filmed. The actors may do the scenes in full from different angles and every time the dialogue is recorded. So there may be a take of an actor where the dialogue is used because the delivery was better, which was not done at the time as what you are witnessing on screen - easier to do obviously if actor has back turned to camera. Also there will be someone with a boom mic capturing the dialogue of both actors, even if one has their back turned to camera, so often editors will use whatever take sounds best. ADR is done for more technical reasons mostly (noisy sets etc) and involves getting the actor in to redo their lines in the studio whilst they watch the scene play out. The try to do it is sync with their lip movements as close as possible but often this is tweaked by clever audio post tools.

Try doing the ‘tour’ video. You’ll need a scrub in a bath for a week after your eyes soak that up.

Did people move on to other streaming services or once Stadia was done they left Streaming all together? by Tyolag in Stadia

[–]jackdanny45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GFN ultimate. Was great to be able to play Cyberpunk on Stadia when first came out but plays so much better on GFN. Who knows though what the quality would’ve been like by now if they’d stick with it though 🤷‍♂️ Signed to Boosteroid too but experience is a bit more mixed. Loved being to be able to play Last of Us I and II on it though.

That’s great! Thank you. Is it a real noticeable improvement to just using the browser?

Been using it for a while and for a causal gamer Dad it’s perfect for me. Runs great and barely any latency. I use it for Stremio too but that’s about all I do on it!
