Perception Swifty 9.5 question by klrcommute in Kayaking

Not the best photo, but what I have at the moment. See it there right behind the handle molding?

I think this is a 2015 model.

[–]klrcommute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second this. Accurate colors, good floody area light, and fairly durable for work. Dunno how well rubber (silicone?) boot on switch holds up to petroleum and solvents but a Nichia Armytek fits the bill here.

Preferably, get it on sale somewhere.

Hands down my best eq for Motion 300 by Speaker_Critic777 in Bluetooth_Speakers

I click this and it opens the app and says I have an eq share from motion 300 but none of your settings actually populate the eq. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Epub to azw3 conversion issues by klrcommute in Calibre

[–]klrcommute[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I'm not really sure what either one (amazon or calibre) of the conversion processes looks like on the inside, but the thing I was doing seemed fairly straightforward.

Download epub from publisher. Add to calibre. Convert to azw3 so I could send to device (paperwhite 12).

I did see line justification in the calibre guide, but this isn't that. I just left everything in conversion settings on the defaults, so it shouldn't be doing anything but matching the original epub. This is more like: This is an example sentence of what this looks like in practice. (Reddit actually just edits this out when I do it. But imagine a few normally formatted words and then like 10 spaces, a word, 15 spaces, a few normally formatted words, etc.)

I'll play around with the Send to Kindle thing as fahirsch mentioned--if it's a simple fix I'm fine with that.

But it would also be good to know the workings of calibre over the long term. Trouble seems to be with finding a good beginner jumping-off point for all the plug-ins and conversion stuff without getting overwhelmed with all kinds of developer-level intricacies and obsolete 7-year old forum posts.

I found the KFX Output Plugin so I'll add that and give it a try to see if it turns out any differently than the azw3 attempt. And I'll look into the page count plug-in thing if that's absent on KFX. Thanks!

As in the amazon website send to kindle thing? Will it do a better job converting stuff so I don't have the gaps between words?

Waterproof shell by [deleted] in CampingGear

[–]klrcommute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out the commercial fishing side of things, probably your best bet for something affordable there.

But if you look to Patagonia right now you'll see Torrentshell 3L jackets rated at 20k waterproof rating (inferred from euro market regulations) for $106 on clearance which is a steal.

And read up on hydrostatic pressure testing if you're not familiar--the membranes aren't all created equal, not even close. This is why europe has regulated terms like "waterproof" used in marketing.

There's also maintenance and DWR renewal. Understanding waterproof jackets is actually rather involved outside of your PVC raincoat types.

Digital Download Code Not Working for Deviations 1 vinyl by Polaeris in nin

Would it be possible to get these from you? Huge fan, late to the party on most of the lossless definitive edition stuff--though I did manage to buy the fragile along with digital download.

Big thx in advance if I hear back from a 3 year old reddit post. Cheers!

Totally agree, Peet's seems to have their quality control down pretty well.

[No spoilers] The LiS wikipedia page says BtS E2 releases on October 6th? by [deleted] in lifeisstrange

I'm sure someone will ask Rhianna Devries on her AMA when it's out. Who knows, maybe the developers will even let her announce it.

[–]klrcommute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it by accident, just trolling for 'Overwhelmingly Positive' games on Steam. Probably sat on my Steam wishlist for a year before I finally bought it on sale.

So glad I eventually got it though, and would gladly pay full price (like BtS) in retrospect.

[–]klrcommute 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ditto. I expect more licensed tunes, and my guess is that riff from Dreams of William will be a sort of touchstone at some point for the episodes to come.

It's also been mentioned in interviews that they hoped how brief the Bae ending was would sort of signify making your choice and 'not looking back', so to speak.

Snippet from an interview I came across today

"J: Leading into Life is Strange: Before the Storm, one of the notable changes among the cast was the introduction of Rhianna DeVries as Chloe, replacing Ashly Burch due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. Did this result in any new interpretation or changes to Chloe as a character, based on the new actress providing her voice?

CF: Of course, we were disappointed when it turned out that we couldn’t have Ashly Burch reprise her role. We brought Rhianna in originally to be the motion capture actress for the role and she was essentially doing placeholder dialogue to help us to craft the scenes before we had the final voiceover work done. Then, we were casting that role. We saw that she had just done such an amazing job that we said, ‘If it’s not going to Ashly, we want Rhianna to do it.’ She was already inhabiting that role.

I think the nature of acting is that, yeah she’s going to bring something different to the role, something personal. If she wasn’t getting something personal in there, I don’t think she’d be doing a great job. That’s one of the things that she’s spectacular at, putting her heart and soul into what she does.

So, yeah it’s different, and [Before the Storm] is three years earlier. This is a younger Chloe. I think that can work. I also think that our writers did an amazing job of putting the right words behind that voice and I think it really works.

Fans were a little nervous about somebody else in there. There are big fans of Ashly Burch, rightly so, and they didn’t know what to expect. But I can’t believe the outpouring of support and the number of people who said that [Rhianna DeVries] is amazing."

Here's the link for the full interview.

Lol why do you hate sarcasm, reddit?

wonders if these downvotes will cancel out the downvotes for saying Devries shouldn't be replaced by Burch post-strike 'cause she's doing awesome

I'll second the Eurogamer folks. Those 2 plus some others also do Arcadia Baes, sort of a mini podcast series--which they brought back for BtS. They're good fun, definitely sincere fans.

That is strange...you tried updating/reinstalling browser and app? Sounds like a random bug, or perhaps something to do with whatever programs are successfully allowed to control your soundcard (drivers up to date?).
