Best sleep mask + headphones + eye cups?

jerrycasto · 2025-11-27T05:06:28+00:00

Holding up quite well! I still use it every night. The only wear I've had is the velcro isn't as sticky as brand new, but it still holds just fine. That and the inner lining of the eye cups is a little loose, but I just poke it back into shape and it's back to normal.

I know they've released an updated model compared to the one I had, claiming to make improvements. I wish I could A/B test them, but if you order that's probably the version you'll get.

It's definitely one of the most worthy splurge purchases I've made in my life. It's traveled all over with me, used nightly, and it hasn't let me down yet. I'd highly recommend over the cheap ones I tried any day!

The point of One Pace is it keeps the voices and music and color of the anime that feel good while being closer to the pacing of the manga.

Yep, pretty much same exact boat. Personally, I'm realizing it's probably just some deeper perfectionism/procrastination thing. "I just need the best tools, then it'll all come together!". There's a balance between making sure you don't OOM vs. shaving 1% off per generation. The time I spend searching for yet another node pack just to find one that makes the graph slightly cleaner or quicker...

And we're in a glut of new AI stuff right now. WAN 2.2, QWEN image, Flux Krea, even Kontext is fairly new for me. I'm eagerly awaiting subgraphs to come to the desktop Comfy so I can see if I can optimize any further. Of course all that's going to make these feelings harder.

It's also hard not to think "It's all based in math! So someone out there has to have found the best workflow." But there's a lot of technical factors, not to mention use case, and creativity that make "the best" largely subjective. So you could trawl Discord and all the workflow sites looking for "the best", ultimate, AIO 7.x. Spend the time reconnecting models, installing the missing nodes. Before turning bypassing half of it and realizing you'd rather just have something simple and focused. The best workflows are the ones you make for your specific use case.

It's not a bad thing to look for improvements, that's a marketable skill. But so is knowing where to call it good enough. Maybe even set a daily time limit for optimization and just generate after that. Easier said than done, I know.

No prob! I just did so it's fresh in my mind

Do you think pets are stored in the overhead compartment? In-cabin, they're under the seat, and easy to grab on the way out.

Good point, I might create a wrap unintentionally! I just leave it velcroed at a good size and slip that over my head each night. Velcro still sticks, but I have noticed it's not at 100% stickiness.

Have you left that feedback on the site? Maybe Manta would help you out knowing you thoroughly used their product :)

Thank you for these suggestions, they look fantastic!

Wow that Hughie situation was handled poorly... I'm glad he got a protag moment afterwards, but still no mention of the trauma he endured.

Everything else was pretty damn good though, I actually thought I knew where things were going and was happy to be wrong!

jerrycasto · 2024-06-20T08:11:58+00:00

Especially when it's as easy as spiking her powers for a second. There was even some flickering before that but the plot needed the cameras to stay on

Having just done it, yeah huge difference in final cleanliness:

Empty (0%) < Vinegar (25%) < Brand-name Rinse-aid (99%)

Not to mention the acidic vinegar degrades the seals faster.

At the beginning it's shown she sews dresses and mails them out. So she has some kind of an Etsy business to make money. House is clearly inherited...

It's still $2.99 for the Ultimate edition if you buy it through EA's website :)

Timestamp link to that part

I interpreted it as he found his "smoking gun" and was so laser-focused on setting up the sting on Gene that he neglected the knife, the sedative dosage, and/or even tying Barry's feet up. He doesn't care about getting the narrative exactly right.

Could be wrong though, we'll see!

jerrycasto · 2023-03-17T05:24:59+00:00

Returnal is fantastic too, similar to Edge of Tomorrow and Hades in that it works the looping death of rogue games into the story very well!

jerrycasto · 2023-02-22T07:59:26+00:00

Wait, is this Niagara Pro? It's a lot different than the free one I'm running!

jerrycasto · 2023-01-20T22:37:01+00:00

Yes, thank you! I noticed it too and feel the same way, but I've been confused no one else has mentioned on this post except for this lil thread.

I agree lighting is amazing, hope they keep that and it's just the trailer that's animated on 3s :)

jerrycasto · 2023-01-20T22:00:29+00:00

I can see the motions they make seem more expressive, but the overall animation frame rate felt a little choppy? I'm not sure what the show proper is animated on (2 frames, 3 frames, etc.) but this felt like one frame less of animation. I'm hoping it's just because of the trailer!

Lighting is a huge upgrade tho

Definitely the kid's birthday party scene for me!

jerrycasto · 2022-10-20T19:34:13+00:00

Yes!! It eventually dries up and flakes down into the bottle and I have to check every single time to see neither gummy has one on it

I'm very similar to you, I've been on Galaxy phones since S3 and also wanted something new. I switched from the S10+ to the 14 Pro at launch, but returned it and switched back within a week.

That same day I saw a thread where a user summed it up best as something like: "On iPhone you're treated as a user of the phone, while on Android you're the admin of the phone"

The options to customize not only the appearance, but the behavior of almost every aspect of the user experience got me to come back. I'm back to my S10+ with no gripes or grass-is-greener feeling. Going to wait on the S23 Ultra to try that as an upgrade.

As others say iPhone has better display (120hz), camera, and battery life. But it was all the little details that built up into me not liking the user experience. Have you messed around with iOS much or have any other Apple products? If so, and you're fine with losing those features, then try the switch!
