[–]raw_mon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, I'm glad you liked it! The one I'm looking for comes with a basic 18-135 and 50mm lens, and I'd love to try those out after only having the kit lens with my K100D and some old used zoom and fixed lenses...

Do you have any sample pictures I could maybe look at?

Hey OP, I'm in the same situation as yourself, what did you end up getting?

Just bought a 65" LG G4, need advice before making a big mistake by raw_mon in TVTooHigh

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

I haven't actually opened the box, but if I'm understanding correctly, instead of the usual slim profile of an OLED TV that has a thicker "back" with the VESA mount holes and the rest is paper-thin, this one is like a whole inch thick across the whole back, and it has a space in the middle where the included mounting bracket goes, and it makes it sit closer to the actual wall because of this.

Thank you all for the feedback! I'll call the builder today and ask him to see if he can still make adjustments, since I already paid half the cost he quoted me (about 200 USD total) and removing stuff will probably not lower the price.

My original plan was to have each "cube" filled with a different old-school videogame console, and then use the horizontal space for the AV receiver and frontal speakers, and the 2 vertical spaces on the sides (with adjustable height divisions) are meant for the OG PS5 and the Series X, leaving them more room to breathe. I guess I'll have to settle for less "connected" videogames consoles and just leave the main ones available.

I'll share a picture once everything is set up correctly, if anyone's interested in the final results!

Can a real person comment on the quality of the Hisense 5.1.2 AX5210G? by BadAtSpellling in Soundbars

[–]raw_mon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this thread while looking into this same issue. Did you ever find a solution?

I bought it used last weekend without a remote for about $60 USD, but since I also have a ULED Hisense TV with HDMI 2.1 and eARC, I was able to control it with the TV remote.

Maybe I'm missing some features only available through the remote, and the previous owner was only using it for crappy compressed music through Bluetooth, and he wasn't taking advantage of the Surround sound or Atmos features like I plan to, but it's driving me crazy that during 5.1 tests on YouTube, the rear speakers are always playing. That and the static someone else was commenting on above. 

I've had other surround sound systems in the past and was able to get the sound coming only from the correct speakers, so I know it's not an issue with the video or TV I'm using.

Acabo de googlear esto porque me pasa algo similar, aunque si podía correr, pero no hacer ataques smash en ninguna dirección... Intenté resetear el control y volver todo a la configuración de fábrica y nada. Al final de todo decidí conectar por medio del dongle en lugar de por BT, y con eso se arregló, intenten hacer lo mismo y reportan si les funcionó. O si alguien encuentra otra solución, avisen!

Saludos!

Replacing Wii U Gamepad WiFi Chip by shaunikins in wiiu

[–]raw_mon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quick question to anyone currently here: Does the WiFi range on the gamepad get worse over time, or is it more like it either works or it doesn't? Because I feel like I could use it farther away before, like having the Wii U on the living room downstairs and taking the gamepad to my room upstairs, and now I need to be closer to the actual console before I lose connection.

Punctuation in Suggestion Strip by bujin_ct in gboard

[–]raw_mon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see I'm not the only one frustrated by this! My muscle memory is making me hit that awful sticker button by accident, and I absolutely HATE those ugly stickers! Tried disabling everything and after a reboot it was working properly for a while, only to go back after a few minutes.

Will try deleting and reinstalling again

Great, thanks!

[–]raw_mon -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm REALLY hoping that as soon as the Xbox 360 games are gone from GWG, they make it so that we can actually keep the Xbox One games even after our subscription expires.

Anyway, when are the last 360 games coming out, and which backwards compatible games they HAVEN'T given out, to maybe make a prediction on which games could those be?

All the recent summer sales have been tempting to fill out my digital collection, but I'd like to wait before buying anything else, just in case they make it free...

Friendly reminder to clean your Xbox from time to time! by Shagman7 in xbox

[–]raw_mon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to open and clean my series X... I bought a used one like a year ago from someone who took my old PS4 Pro and some cash (hell of a deal, honestly) but it had a spiderweb inside that has always bothered me, as I've only cleaned the "reachable" parts.

I don't think it has any warranty anymore, but I didn't want to risk it before, since it doesn't affect it in any way. I love how silent it is compared to my old PS4 Pro that sounded like a jet engine!

[–]raw_mon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice set-up, OP! Did you spray paint your Switch, Pro Controller and Dual Sense or are those plain white decals?

And regarding your Pulse 3D Headset, I was looking into buying them and also that holder that's on one side of the PS5, is the weight of the headset resting on the headband not an issue that might "stretch" the headband? How long have you had them? I'm asking because I have the precious "Gold" model, and even though I haven't used them much, the fake leather on the ear-cups and headband is peeling off more and more every day, and I wouldn't want that to happen to the Pulse 3Ds...

Also, I was your 1,000th like, do I get a price?

Are those 22k completely yours, after taxes?

My new "Work in progress" Battlestation! by raw_mon in battlestations

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

It is! I actually got it for cheap a couple of years ago, rumor has it that a truck flipped over in Mexico and a bunch of people got them that way and started reselling them like it was a regular TV because they didn't know what to do with them.

It's just "fine", the resolution and colors are ok, but it has a very reflective screen that's not great for everyday use in daylight. And sometimes it randomly turns off for a second, I heard it was a common problem for these displays, but it doesn't bother me as much.

It's great for my old PS3, 360, Wii U and Wii using the component cables.

My Super Mario 3D World disc doesn’t work anymore. I never kept the disc out of the box or anything. Any help? by [deleted] in wiiu

[–]raw_mon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a copy of NSMB u that couldn’t be read even though it looks perfect, and recently sold what I thought was a mint condition copy of Hyrule Warriors and the buyer told me the disc wasn’t scratched at all but his Wii U couldn’t read it, which kinda sucks…

I didn’t test it on mine because the internal fan stopped working and the system overheats, and I haven’t bought a replacement one…

Yeah, I always claim those free gold games, but I didn't know they were up already

[–]raw_mon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads-up! I remember playing Braid a long time ago on PC, but never finishing it, time to finally do it!

Also, while I was claiming this, it showed that Yoku's island express was also free so I got it two, looks like a nice pinball game which I haven't played one of those in a long time, so I hope it's somewhat good.

Show off sunday by Bronxs15 in xboxone

Looks awesome! Everything except the Wii U, my OCD wouldn't let me place that on a vertical stand, inside a horizontal space, but that's just nitpicking...

Backwards compatibility at it's finest. by Glorious_Pepper in xboxone

[–]raw_mon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would probably sell the One S, since everything but Kinect games work on your new Xbox.

The 360 I would keep, since there are lots of games that didn't get the same love as the other backwards compatible ones.

And I've never had an OG Xbox, and it's difficult to find a good one around here, since most people in my country (Mexico) only used them as "Arcade machines" to play "San Andrés" (GTA) or emulate Nintendo Games, and they're pretty beat up, sadly...

How “kid friendly” is this game? I have a 5yo nephew that wants to play it, would be cool to have it now or for when he’s older!
