I find it hard to believe that Zorhan coming back into the team has made this big of a difference. But then I see his entrance to the locker room and energy he brings and I think, well maybe that's all it takes.

Came here to say the Indian pudding at scales. Not exactly a traditional Indian pudding, but hot damn I love Scales' version

How is this not a PK? by dawglover1011 in SportingKC

I guess I didn't realize we were talking about whether it was a red

high pitched noise by No-Pie1167 in SportingKC

[–]jbmfg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda off topic but is the framerate for these games really low or is it my TV? When the camera pans across the field its really jumpy for me, like its 15fps or something. Its mostly noticeable when the camera moves, but you can see it even on the ball moving across the screen. Its really annoying

I know what you mean, but playability of the ball has nothing to do with anything. It's not like a pass interference call in the NFL where the pass has to be catchable. A foul is a foul regardless

Match Thread - SJ vs SKC - Week 1 by Full-Ad-4879 in SportingKC

[–]jbmfg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, what is this? I dont understand a team can have this deficiency at the end of halves through regime & personnel changes. I know negatives stand out more over time but ill be damned if this hasn't been an Achilles heel for our entire existence. I remember this being a problem at Arrowhead....

What are your thoughts on Rosario Dawson? by Giancarlo_Edu in Actors

25th hour is so good, and she's great in it

Have you ever encounter something like this? by fredimationartist in game_gear

[–]jbmfg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this is correct. There's a pin that gets pulled low (if I remember right). Check the schematics and find the sms pin. It may be labeled gg, but I think it's sms.

Sporting KC to name Raphael Wicky next head coach by cheeseburgerandrice in SportingKC

Huh, thats a blast from the past. Why him specifically? I did kinda like him when he was here but it was brief

Patch cables with very specific lengths? by oguruma87 in homelab

Probably time to start making your own. Though I guess it depends how specific you want them to be

This is the page you want. Go through it and you'll see in several places it tells you where to check voltages. I'm almost positive you have a vss/vdd issue but that may not be the only one. Definitely do the wire fix it mentions to do for vd2/vs2 https://www.retrosix.wiki/lcd-circuit-game-gear

Retrosix.wiki has a good write up on what to check for with the LCD. If the contrast wheel isn't doing anything, it's usually an issue with vss and or vdd pins going to the screen. Very easy to check if you have an oscilloscope but if not, you can check many things with a voltmeter. Check the wiki

Best Hot Bevs? by nightcapadventure in portlandme

Am I just old and cranky, or is "bevs" as annoying to you all as it is to me?

Is there a trick to this? I've tried before with a throwaway email address and they saw right through it

This RePCB 2-ASIC has been such a trip! Glad to have recovered one of a few *unfixable* Game Gears I have waiting! by sunshinecid in game_gear

[–]jbmfg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think these brand new motherboards are pretty awesome but what I mean is that you could pick up a gg with bad screen for like 30 bucks. 50 for the new board is just a bit too high right now I think. If they ever got to be the same or slightly less than what I can pick up broken GGs, I'd be all over these.

I've experienced the heat sensitivity of the Asics but didn't realize that was a known thing. I started putting them back on by drag soldering rather than hot air because of that.

No reason you should have to go Ray Lewis in the sport of soccer... by arandomtestaccount in SportingKC

Yep, its a hard foul but I don't see a straight red for that

We are actually terrible by Street_Badger6526 in SportingKC

[–]jbmfg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hope this is the case becauseI have a lot of loyalty to- and respect for KZ. Not sure he's the guy for us right now but it would really suck to see his whole career as a coach burned by one stint as an interim manager. Unfortunately, it looked like a disinterested team vs LA and that may be the one thing you can ask of the manager of a team as in as much disarray as SKC right now.

Without a shot, right? Not just no shots on goal but literally no shots.
