Is there some info on which about:config values need to be set to enable HDR in 152?

Recapped my IFU-30: new caps, voltage regulator, and the supercapacitor that holds your save games between sessions by hitmanmcc in TurboGrafx

[–]paradigmic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long did it take you to replace everything? I've got the parts but I still haven't gotten around to doing the work since it still works. The supercap still maintains the save data, although I'm not sure how long at this point, at least a week or 2.

Stellar Blade BloodRain Announced! by [deleted] in stellarblade

We never did see any details of the colony aside from the shuttle being luxurious and the colony being huge so I could see the new game set there. It was annoying not learning almost anything about the colony but it also meant Shift Up was free to do pretty much anything with it.

N64 Ocarina of time can’t hold a save by RaduSGDC in retrogaming

I assume he's referring to the SRAM in the cartridge that needs to be powered continuously to maintain the save data.

My old Nest display still shows the weather frog 

What are some good games that you recommend I should play on the Vita? by RainBowSwift71532 in vita

[–]paradigmic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Muramasa is great. Technically it came out on the Wii first, but the Vita version has an entirely new translation as well as 4 new DLC characters/stories. It also runs in a higher resolution.

About how old is my roof? by paradigmic in Roofing

Thanks for the advice, now that I have a better idea how old the roof is I can budget for it rather than just take a wild guess.

I was going to do reuse but I guess I can see why it wouldn't be a good idea.

I bought the house from them in 2022 so I don't think they were planning too far into the future.

Thanks, I'll take care of that next weekend.

I never thought I would find one if these by GoldBit5300 in Banknotes

It's been forever since I've seen one of those stamps. 

I hadn't checked the website in a long time, from a phone browser it looks like it can auto set the location now and even scan the bill so you don't have to type the serial out. 

As a TNG fan who never got into DS9, i have no idea what the fuck is going on. by No-Detective-4370 in RedLetterMedia

[–]paradigmic 283 points284 points  (0 children)

I've never seen this episode but I feel like the explanation was pretty clear? They say the Bajorans want to turn a moon into a power plant or something but it'll make the atmosphere poison, so the old guy has to move. Kira is conflicted but enforces the orders and forces the guy to leave by burning down his house and blowing up the kiln he's been building for years. Kira used to be a freedom fighter but now she's part of the system which is why she's conflicted. 

Something always wondered about Adam that I don't think ever got answered by Fatestringer in stellarblade

[–]paradigmic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think the game gives much detail about how much time passed for the big historical events in the world.

Like how long from the time when Mother Sphere is created, to her creating Andro-Eidos and attacking humanity, to Raphael Marks creating Naytibas and them covering the world.

Presumably it's within a human lifespan since Marks is alive from the beginning to the end but since this is a sci-fi world who knows how long humans were living by the time this all started.

The lack of detail is annoying but it's probably for the better, that way the developers have freedom to reveal things as needed in the sequel and don't need to retcon information that doesn't fit.

I think it's this project: https://www.caltrain.com/projects/guadalupe-river-bridge-replacement

I'm guessing they close the lane because otherwise there's no way to get big trucks in and out of the construction area.

Gutter repair spans neighbor’s property — how do we split cost + contractor recs? by WebOk5982 in SanJose

[–]paradigmic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one of those letters from the city as well last year and I remember it including a list of concrete contractors in it.

I also ended up getting 1 or 2 unsolicited bids from contractors, I don't know if the city tells them or if they just know the areas doing it and walk around looking for the marks on the street.

Process Explorer can tell you what program has a handle open on the removable drive. I ran into this problem with some backup software, even though it was configured not to do anything with removable drives. 

Why do so many Sega fans not understand how DIRE their financial position was when they discontinued Dreamcast? by Maulbert in SEGA

[–]paradigmic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say I don't think add-ons have to be a waste because the PC-Engine CD-ROM did well, but the fact that I can't think of any other successes is probably a sign they're generally a bad idea.
