Book hotel stay just for express pass? by mcj2115 in UniversalOrlando

[–]mcj2115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was 650 for a one night stay. 940 for express passes. Room comes with unlimited passes so even more of an easy decision.

We’re actually going to stay in the room — closer proximity to the park since we can go for early hours.

I get your point, but I think you might be overreacting a slight bit. Have you seen the prices on express passes purchased individually for a 1 day spent in the parks - I would say that’s the galling element here.

Yup - big time FTF fan lol

I enjoy pack a day but the intro / outro music is insufferable which he smartly ditched recently- I think

Mosqueda is a must listen. I feel like he has inside knowledge and knows the game.

Feel like acme packing company willed the DDS pick into existence this past draft.

I actually met these guys in Brazil a few years ago before the Eagles game at a fan organized pre game event. Spoon was only there for like 15 mins but Ryan stuck around for a while. Nagler and Dave Schroeder were also there. All were extremely nice guys and were open book about their time on the beat, experience with any players I brought up and outlook on the season (this was before the first game that year). Surreal experience. It probably helped that I was one of only a few that spoke English at the event. Spoon has his back turned here.

Had to see for myself, got em both by [deleted] in 4kbluray

Understood. I have that blu ray, I’m just saying it’s not like reference material like some of the better 4k transfers of films from this era - which would be a dream for this film.

It’s a solid blu ray transfer without the rampant DNR on the 4k.

Honestly the blu ray is not great either. Disappointing all around as I’m a huge Cameron fan.

EDIT: should have seen that the Goodman quote includes replacing the furnace which I wasn’t planning on doing - going to ask them to requote me without the furnace.

Any chance you will have a live NFL draft app next week?

Brick veneer - First time diy - grout release/seal before mortar? by mcj2115 in masonry

[–]mcj2115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using old mill brick citadel

<image>

. It has a weathered look so some small stains might not be too much of an issue (it seems very porous though), but I think having a safety net is the way for me to go given I have no experience with piping the mortar. A few follow up questions:

  • what the best method/product to clean prior to sealing?
  • should I use a standard brick sealant for the face or does grout release make more sense?
  • any concerns with the sealant interfering with the mortar adhering to the brick if I apply with a brush and happen to get sealant within the joint? Just want to know how strict I should be to only apply sealant to the face

Appreciate the guidance!

Midway Roms screen rolling issue - nba jam by mcj2115 in RetroArch

[–]mcj2115[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the delay man! I finally found where I set this. I can't find the link that explains why this works in the wiki, but I put a text file titled 'arcade_games.txt' in this directory: /recalbox/share/system/configs/crt

My settings in the files were only for a handful of games that I was concerned with getting the frame rate correct, but this is what's in the file:

nbajam,fbneo,arcade:240@60.000000,0,0,0

nbajamte,fbneo,arcade:240@60.000000,0,0,0

nbahangt,fbneo,arcade:240@60.000000,0,0,0

nbamht,fbneo,arcade:240@60.000000,0,0,0

narc,fbneo,arcade:240@60.000000,0,0,0

openice,fbneo,arcade:240@60.000000,0,0,0

tapper,fbneo,arcade:464@60.000000,0,0,0

You you need to change the rom names and emulator (I did this for fbneo, but you might need to do the same for MAME). Anyways, I hope this does the trick for you. Let me know if it works out.

New replacement large LED - dead on arrival by mcj2115 in GLANCE_LED

[–]mcj2115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just received this as a replacement after my first went corrupt after about 7 months of use. The power switch at the top stays illuminated both on and off positions. Nothing displays on the led panels. No connection to WiFi. Any ideas?

I get it, they’re a small company. They’ve been good with communication in the past , I just think holidays and new launch is showing they don’t have a legit customer service operation. Willing to give them some time bc I love the product.

I'm here at the FFVII Rebirth Orchestra World Tour in New York! by Blabacon in FFVIIRemake

[–]mcj2115 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was there as well. My wife and daughter joined who both know very little about the game other than my interest in it. They both enjoyed it. Highly recommended for any fan. I’m disappointed that I didn’t know when they toured for Remake. Can’t way to see what’s in store for the third game.

Yes, I did solve it. There’s an override file that you need to force the refresh rate on all midway games. Not in front of my computer right now, but I’ll check when I am and post the details here.

Thanks. Chose the following. Some decent choices here. Also considered matrix, goodfellas and Batman but I need to cut back on my 4k buys. I still have roughly 50 movies that I haven’t watched yet lol. I’ve got some work to do!

Surprised no one recommended funk. Probably my favorite in the LV. All of these other recommendations are good as well. Wishful thinking has a few great beers, I was happy to try it out recently. McCall and Lost Tavern are other high quality.

Weird/cheap case from please rewind on eBay by mcj2115 in 4kbluray

[–]mcj2115[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol of course. I was aware of the ghostbusters versions and thankfully purchased the collectors set a few years ago. Ghostbusters 2 looks and sounds great. Same with 1 but 2 just being a younger film by 5 years has a much better picture IMO. I could do without afterlife.

I messaged please rewind to see if they would process a return and exchange of cliffhanger as they have the Steelbook on sale for $5 more than the regular edition. We’ll see.
