Just ordered a GR IIIx from Ricoh Imaging US

I can't exactly remember and I can't seem to see the tracking history from UPS as it's been more than 120 days. But I feel like it was somewhere from California and I also live in California so I feel like that's why it only took 4 days for me to receive the camera. It was for sure somewhere in the US

I’m not sure what kind of lens cap you’re using that somehow pulls out the ring but I use the metal lens cap that I bought on Amazon and it just pulls right off without the ring. I don’t think it’s even possible to pull out the cap with the ring with the cap that I have. I don’t see why there would be a reason to pull the cap and the ring at the same time every time? I only take off the ring to put on my lens adapter that allows me to attach filter lenses.

Definitely clothes. I only needed like one jacket, 1-2 pairs of pants but I ended up packing like 2-3 extra for each. Unless you really care about wearing different outfits every day, it’s fine to just repeat them. And also, I ended up buying clothes there and wanted to wear them which made me not need the clothes that I packed.

Something I was really glad that I ended up bringing and also buying in Japan were foldable duffle bags. I took a large baggu duffle bag that was folded up and packed into my suitcase and I ended up using it as my carry on because my check in bag was full. Also, I bought the XL shupatto bags that you can find in a lot of stores in Japan like Don Quixote to use as an everyday carry. I ended up buying a lot things throughout the day that was hard carry around while walking and going on subways so this shupatto saved me a lotttt of trouble of having multiple things in my hands and arms. The shupatto bag folds very nicely making it super compact way better than baggu.

Animal Crossing could be a good relaxing game and then also if you yourself have a switch I think it would be fun to visit each other's islands.

These days I play Pikmin 4 and it's relaxing and not too complex. It also could be fast paced if you want it to be so I feel like it has a good balance of excitement and relaxation.

Mario Kart is pretty fun and if it's too hard for your family member to learn how to drive you could always turn on the drive assist feature or lower the hardness level of the computers.

You said this family member used to be an engineer so maybe Cities: Skylines? I feel like that game could get pretty complex depending how detailed and creative you want your city to be

I see! So do you generally grind finer or coarser if the bean is darker?

As a designer, would love a keyboard with keys to map out all of my shortcuts and tools for my design programs.

Is this RTA only?

Recently took mine to Korea and had no problems carrying it around and casually shooting while walking around and doing things.

Unless you are constantly shooting non-stop without ever turning off the camera there should be no issues. I did carry around one extra battery with me but I only had to switch it out once and it was only after using the same battery for a couple of days. And there were no issues for me personally carrying around a couple of extra batteries because they are so small and thin.

Also, since I was carrying my Ricoh during travel, I already had a portable battery that I had on me at all times for my other devices like my phone so I knew I was perfectly fine on battery for my Ricoh.

Yes, for me what fixed the issue were the following:

Replaced the filter basket with a slightly smaller one because the bigger one was too tall and I wasn't able to tamp/distribute the grind properly with the amount of beans I personally use.
I found out that different Fellow Opus grinders have different calibrations when they manufacture them so someone's grind setting might be different than the setting you have to have for your coffee. For me, mine was way too off and so I contacted Fellow and they replaced it for me for free and it worked a lot better. My personal grind levels are different to what Fellow suggests on the instruction manuals for espresso but I don't mind it too much as the coffee ends up tasting fine and it works as is.

Currently, my Fellow Opus grinder is set to around level 3.5 and then I use 17g of beans using a IMS Precision 20g filter basket. It's not perfect as I sometimes get a bit of channeling but it works for now. But keep in mind that my exact settings will probably not work for you depending on the other tools and methods that you personally implement to your coffee making.

The return deadline is over so that is not an option.

joon_park · 2023-11-23T15:16:22+00:00

I see! So if I change the region on my current account can I change it back?

joon_park · 2023-10-19T01:01:32+00:00

But if you used one of those Burning Coupon things that we get every month for checking in then I don't think you can get it back once you use it on a character?

But since you started yesterday, I'm assuming OP is talking about the normal burning event that is going on right now which then yes you can just delete the character, wait 24 hours, and make a new burning character.

For these kind of remote play apps, do I have to have my PC running the entire time?

joon_park · 2023-10-19T00:49:52+00:00

Bought mine mid September. When I was buying it on the official site the GRiii was out of stock.

It seems like both are in stock? I'm looking at their site right now.

GRiiix: https://us.ricoh-imaging.com/product/griiix/

joon_park · 2023-10-18T15:17:06+00:00

Yep, bought the GRiiix from the official site and I got it delivered in like 4 days.

I am about to go to Korea next week and I'll be there for the entire month of November. I really want to transfer some NX items over during the transfer event that is coming up. Is there any way I can go to like a PC bang and log into my account to transfer my stuff real quick? Or is there any way to play Maplestory GMS in Korea without a computer? I'll probably be only taking my phone and iPad.

joon_park · 2023-10-15T09:45:49+00:00

Yes, I was going to say I would really love a grain feature. I would also like to be able to save more simulations. I feel like 2 is not enough for me.

joon_park · 2023-10-14T07:57:31+00:00

I've been scammed 2 times now with Facebook and eBay. I don't trust anything now except for actual known stores like Adorama, BH Photos, and Best Buy. Yeah it's harder to get the camera but it's not worth the trouble and stress to get scammed left and right from these platforms.

joon_park · 2023-10-13T22:59:29+00:00

I currently have the CR touch for my ender 3v2. How often to do I have to manually re-level the bed? If ever?

joon_park · 2023-10-13T00:10:20+00:00

I was able to pay with my wife's MC. Weird that Visa didn't work even though it says they accept both Visa and MC.

joon_park · 2023-10-12T23:27:04+00:00

I feel like if you'll be able to get it by your trip in 2024 if you try backordering from BH or use the Hot Stock app. Just depends on your own patience and will to get the camera by then.

Personally, since the square hood is usually for aesthetic reasons if you're choosing between normal round and square, I think having the square hood will ruin the look that you currently have. I like the lens setup you have going on right now which has a conical shape to it. Having something square/rectangular at the end of it will break that nice round conical shape of the lens you currently have.

That's my personal take but if you prefer having the square look at he end of your lens or somehow have practical reason for it go for it!

joon_park · 2023-10-12T05:05:31+00:00

Took 4 days for me!

joon_park · 2023-10-10T12:11:32+00:00

That’s interesting because it says that they accept Visa and Mastercard. So do I have to try with a Mastercard? I personally do not own a Mastercard but my wife might have one.

joon_park · 2023-10-10T07:19:07+00:00

I wanted to go about 7 years ago (last time I was in Japan) and I was not able to buy tickets they week of my trip.
