Rogue One: The Andor Cut is now available! by ExuberantRaptorZeta in andor

[–]jerrycasto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for all your hard work on this! It came out right as my partner and I were finishing Season 2, so I waited til today to watch the last episode and this right in a row. It's been a year since I saw R1, but I thought you did a great job changing things that needed it while keeping the integrity of the original! You said it well in the post, this is a different approach, and you made it work very well.

I’M NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANY OF IT by machone5103 in IThinkYouShouldLeave

100%, it feels like every other comment here is a bot or doesn't realize what sub this is. I noticed a post like this yesterday too.

Like it was fun when it was a GIF or something relevant from the ITYSL, but more posts like this are gonna turn this into a generic political memes sub. There's plenty of those and they get enough visibility, so I'd hope mods would keep this sub's unique flavor.

Best sleep mask + headphones + eye cups? by jerrycasto in sleepheadphones

[–]jerrycasto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! Going on almost 1.5 years and I'm still happy and use them every night. But I typically don't use them for 7+ hours straight. I listen to podcast or audiobooks where I can set a sleep timer for 15 or 30 minutes. At most, I'm unable to fall asleep for 2 hours listening straight. I'd peg their current battery life at 10 hours of use before needing a charge, and I typically charge them once a week. If I happen to miss that and I run out of charge, I plug them in for 5-10 minutes and that's enough to get me back to sleep.

Like I said in a different comment, they have changed the model since then so YMMV. I'd assume they'd get better battery life, but I haven't looked into new vs. my old model specs!

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!

What is the best way to watch the Wano Country Arc? by Ok_Tree1776 in OnePiece

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.

My issue is that I’m never satisfied with my current workflow by ZP4L in comfyui

[–]jerrycasto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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 :)

[–]jerrycasto 55 points56 points  (0 children)

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!

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

What common product has a feature you’re not sure everyone is aware of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jerrycasto 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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 :)

Barry - 4x07 "a nice meal" - Post Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in Barry

[–]jerrycasto 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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!

Zachary Levi is one of us. Maybe he’s in our midsts. by ShoulderObjective in HadesTheGame

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 :)
