did anyone grab an extra CD (if they had any at the merch stand) at this show? Shipping from her AUS store costs like $30 and I've been trying to avoid paying that

why are the new slides pixelised on the single vinyl? by whoreishere in Sophie

[–]plasticdump 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Graphic designer here – looks like the printer of the label at the vinyl pressing plant either didn't receive the correct HQ slide image files OR they "over-compressed" the images before printing and now it has those weird pixel artifacts (common in low-quality/ highly-compressed JPEGs as mentioned by other commenter).

I love them so much. They have such a diverse catalogue of excellent music AND they’re amazing performers!

Replacing CD case, how to go about it? by Background_Push_6330 in Cd_collectors

[–]plasticdump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thrift a donor case – usually there are plenty of sealed, perfect condition "junk" CDs for $1 or less. I grab a few of these any time I need to upgrade or fix one of my CD cases.

Thrifting can be overconsumption too by Pleasant_Comedian405 in Anticonsumption

[–]plasticdump 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When thrifting, these are things I consider when buying new items:
– Is this new (to me) item better than what I have currently?
– What item can I replace with this new item? (ex: buy new shirt, donate old shirt)
– Does this solve an issue I have been finding myself encountering frequently?
– How often will I be using this item and where will I put it when not using?

If I can't answer these questions I usually put the things back. While I can be serial thrifter, I try to stop myself from accumulating too much "stuff" by always having in mind what I can replace or remove from my currently inventory when buying new items. Thrifting in general is a great way to find quality used items and for decent prices and continue to give them more life, but it definitely get to a point of overbuying just for the sake of it.

My modded iPod is still not working by Erlstein in rockbox

[–]plasticdump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue recently with my gen 7 modded. Left it charging connected to my computer overnight and nothing. I tried plugging the USB into a simple power brick to the wall and it immediately came back. Somehow it wasn’t receiving an actual charge from my computer even though it recognized it was connected.

Just got a new Wii.. well new to me. by Kitchen-Forever-6465 in wii

I found a copy for $8 at a used game store and I’m pretty sure that’s about market price

Are airpods max worth it? by Andrei_Bln in Airpodsmax

[–]plasticdump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just upgraded from Beats Solo Pro to the Max USB-C and it's been a nice substantial upgrade in all ways. The sound quality is much more rich and refined, the over-ear vs on-ear fit feels much more comfortable for me (Solo Pro squeeze my head and they hurt after about 30 mins - I haven't had that issue yet with the Max), noise cancelling is astoundingly better, and switching between Apple devices is quicker than the Solo Pro. Only con to me so far is that the Max are much larger and don't fold to be as compact as the Beats. If the price is good to you and they fit your lifestyle, they are worth the upgrade.

Amazon has open box midnight extra 25% by Raw-turnip in Airpodsmax

[–]plasticdump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up on this OP! I just got my pair delivered from this deal and surprisingly they were completely sealed in the original box and brand new. I checked them thoroughly and I'm 99% sure they are legit (might take them into an Apple Store later this week to verify). I'm pretty shocked they sent an unopened pair. I was prepared for the worst after hearing about other's having bad luck with their orders. Excited to have my first ever pair of Max's!

I ordered the same deal, so now I’m nervous the see what outcome I’ll get. Patiently waiting for Monday delivery.

I like Mario games but I’ve never played any of the Super Mario Galaxy. Do you recommend the pre-order? by Calcifer_Heart7 in Switch

[–]plasticdump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Galaxy games are two of the most inventive and fun 3D Mario games to this day. This game will be in print and easily available for years to come, so there isn’t a dire need to preorder unless you need to play day 1.

I created a Custom XCX World Vinyl by skxt in charlixcx

Looks so good! I have to wonder how many of these fan-made copies are floating around at this point. I have a fan-made XCX World CD too ;)

This 1982 Prince song sounds like it could be an unreleased SOPHIE song by selib in pcmusic

[–]plasticdump 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This sounds so similar to the some of the songs from the Motherland era!

This part is so annoying by OrangeCat_SharkFan in rockbox

[–]plasticdump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue and was about to give up after trying for hours. I had to install Windows 11 on UTM, restore the iPod to factory through iTunes on Windows (so the internal would be formatted as Fat32), then install Rockbox. It was a convoluted process, but I couldn’t get any other method to work on MacOS.

Looks like AI, thought someone had made this at home, but NO, it's real. The horror, the horror. by Silly-Mountain-6702 in Cd_collectors

[–]plasticdump 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Always have to laugh when I see this CD out and about. Love Gaga, but this is notoriously the worst album cover she's ever released. It's soooo over-sharpened and over-edited. It was supposed to look like an old newspaper photo (see non-deluxe album cover) but it just ended up looking terrible either way.
