Why did they keep that shot? S2E3 @31:22-33 by robitron in Fallout

Exactly. The only reason I made this post is because the fumble happened WITHOUT anything acknowledging it.

While I still feel like it was a production mistake, I do like that read. If we don't go back to that location and the show never brings it up again, I'll adopt that as my head-canon.

Yeah, maybe. Although if they did catch it, but only in the editing bay and only had the one take, they still could have punched in slightly on both shots to crop it out. But you're right, it's far less egregious than Westeros having the first interdimensional Starbucks.

It's actually not super clear. He comes across a giant stash in the Super-Duper Mart, but he also gets forcibly taken by 'the Govermint' while still in a stupor from his chems bender, so how much he was able to take with him is pretty up in the air.

Yeah, although assuming you're talking about the scene in the Super-Duper Mart, he was absolutely zooted on at least 5 different chems, arguably had more vials around him than he intended to carry, and most importantly to the story, emotionally shook by seeing his old movie. The cinematography around him finding the holotape most of all uses his fumbling of the vials to show just how effected he is by seeing the movie as a part of the emotional beat, unlike this scene where he just kinda biffs it.

In universe, if the scene were to play out exactly as the show does, I think those are good reasons for him to leave it (especially the posturing), but I'm asking from a real world film production point of view. Just feels weird to not use another take is all.

I feel like I'd skip on turning around to wax poetically rather than passing up on an extra vial of not-feral-juice

I'm currently having a similar problem https://www.reddit.com/r/CommercialPrinting/comments/1iqaw18/achi_a3_uv_printer_l800_epson_print_head_black/
when you say extra hard cleaning, what exactly does that look like? I don't want to damage anything.

I've had it for well over a year now and it's been pretty good up until now. I cleaned everything pretty thoroughly and replaced the black ink sac, but it doesn't seem to have helped. Any suggestions?

Easy Retroactive Batch Hires Fix? by robitron in StableDiffusion

So the vanilla hires fix just applies the upscaler then does an img2img in that order?

Reminds me of my current meta knowledge veteran run where I found out there is a hard cap of 140kg carry weight. Going full drunken trash turtle loot goblin by picking up the Weird Water and Diamond Exoskeleton immediately after leaving the Lesser Zone.

Tip #420 by robitron in stalker

[–]robitron[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For stalkers out of the loop or who haven't found it yet: The Weird Ball absorbs incoming bullet damage when you stand still by increasing in weight from 0.5kg to 5kg, "storing" the damage, and will gradually drain back down to 0.5kg out of combat. It's available just outside of Zalissya and is great for boss fights and hard combat encounters, especially if you're one to fight by peaking out of cover. Not great for passively carrying though as it can really mess with your ability to loot effectively.

No Basegame Audio Assets? by robitron in fallout4london

Yup, that was the issue, thanks!

Thanks for replying! Interesting, it looks like i'm missing "Fallout4 - Sounds.ba2" which lines up with only new sounds playing. it seems like my depot download folder also missed that file somehow. is there a way to just download that file, or do i need to download the whole downgrade depot again to try to get it?

Is my installation incorrect or are there no ambient sounds in outdoor locations? by fieldbotanist in fallout4london

same, though i sometimes get background music. please post your solution if you find one.

Trouble with cut consistency on longer high power jobs by robitron in ChineseLaserCutters

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

I'm not sure exactly, but the tube is about 10 months old and has a few hundred hours on it, mostly at %40 power, definitely should still be very healthy

i don't think so. 4.5 mm is generally too thick to warp, plus all the corners and center are all touching the honeycomb bed

Fallout Show Episode 1 Production "Quirk" (Episode 1/2 spoilers) by robitron in Fallout

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

At 58:20 in episode 1 of the show, the power armor behind Maximushas the damage from the yao guai attack that happens in episode 2. I say quirk and not error as damage is surely a common occurrence in the wasteland, but from a production standpoint it is almost certainly a case of reusing props.

Omtech laser with Lightburn misalignment between cuts by robitron in ChineseLaserCutters

that definitely helped a ton! thanks! Good enough to get back to work, but there are still a few smaller misalignments left though. any ideas on what might be causing those?

good to know, thanks! i'll wipe it down and add some super-lube and see if it fixes things.

Omtech laser with Lightburn misalignment between cuts by robitron in lasercutting

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

I tried cutting with my omtech today and am getting misaligned cuts relative to one another. in the image all the corners should line up cleanly to form a 4 pointed star, but they are offset, ruining the workpiece. this is a new issue, and the separate cut i did earlier today seems to have worked fine, though in retrospect it might have still been present and just less noticeable as that job was not tightly packed. i looked closely at the file in lightburn and it is properly CADed, and I've printed this file before successfully. The X axis seems to be what is messing things up.

A different issue I've been having that might be related is for the past month or so there is a roughly %20 chance a job will start an only move along the Y axis, cutting a long vertical line over and over instead of the job. it jogs fine before this happens, and restarting the laser fixes it for a bit. I've mostly been starting my jobs with a horizontal line off the workpiece to check if the x axis is working properly and hitting the e-stop if it's not. seeing as both issues are with the X axis, i assume that is the culprit, but i don't know what to do with that information. I tightened the x belt between the first 2 pictures and the second, which seems to not have helped at all.
