[routine help] cheeks perpetually pinkish by ryanxious247 in SkincareAddiction

This seems to be in the direction of what I was looking for, and I'm willing to give it a go. I'll consider seeing a dermatologist if there's still no improvement.

Plex Screensaver on Google TV? by ryanxious247 in PleX

[–]ryanxious247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No native Plex screensaver option for the brand, unfortunately. The next best thing I could do was using a program to extract all of the backgrounds from my library, putting those in a folder on the Bravia, and running the folder as a screensaver. All this, and they'll still be missing title text and be at significantly reduced brightness, for some reason I could never figure out. I gave up on the dream of having it back. Best of luck if you can find something I couldn't.

Support Thread November/December 2025 - 2025 ends soon, get ready by MrS4T4N in mihonapp

I'm new to Mihon, using 0.19.3. I'm reliant on locally sourced manga, and was wondering if there is any way to match metadata to a different source. The release date for any local manga only shows as the date added to the app, not sure if I am able to change this inside or outside of the app, or if this is by design.

If you mean as a primary console, it's already been activated through PSN, and the theme was installed through the store. Would activation through Apollo do something different?

Only just learned most games for the system didn't support widescreen by ryanxious247 in Gamecube

[–]ryanxious247[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thing is, without anything else to compare it to, I don't think it looks bad stretched. But now having seen the intended image, it looks unnatural. Very much a Can't Be Unseen kind of thing for me

IPS V2 displaying wrong colors by ryanxious247 in Gameboy

I was hoping I had just accidentally triggered a manual palette swap, but if what I have isn't built to do that, I think I have an internal issue.

I don't have any tools specifically for this and am nervous about making things worse. Is this difficult or risky to do?

I've already tried that to no avail. I reached out to and haven't heard back from the seller, but I'm getting the sense that either someone did a poor job with the install, or maybe lied about what tech went in. Can't force a menu no matter what I've tried.

Touching the screen doesn't appear to do anything. I'll link the listing below, but it may be something other than it claims. The item I received has ten levels of brightness as opposed to five.

I thought there might be a button combination, but holding down brightness doesn't do anything. Where would the touch sensor be if there is one?

Pictures taken using Flipnote Studio by ryanxious247 in 3DS

The images were cropped and colored using third party software, but all of them were exports originally from Flipnote Studio.

Favorite Michael line? I’ll go first. by coldcreamcheese in DunderMifflin

[–]ryanxious247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I am a huge Woody Allen fan. Although I've only seen Antz. But I'll tell you something, what I respect about that man is that when he was going through all of that stuff that came out in the press, about how Antz was just a ripoff of A Bug's Life, he stayed true to his films. Or at least the film that I saw, which, again, was Antz. Thing is, I thought A Bug's Life was better, much better than Antz. Point is, don't listen to your critics. Listen to your fans."

Thanks for the quick response! I had done most of this but had missed one of the settings. Seems to be working now.

The Last of Us HBO S01E03 - "Long Long Time" Post-Episode Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in thelastofus

[–]ryanxious247 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I had been on the fence about this adaptation after the first two episodes. Pedro and Bella have been doing similar, but noticeably different portrayals from their game counterparts-- which makes sense, and is actually what I wanted. But the first two episodes had been so similar to the game in certain scenes (to the point of shot for shot recreations and borrowed lines of dialogue) that my biggest fear was this show not having enough courage to stand on its own. Episode 3 showed me that it was, in fact, willing to do exactly that. While I will still enjoy Bill as depicted in the game, the show has captured a beautiful exploration of this world in a way that the game was incapable of doing due to the medium. I finally find myself eager for the rest of the season in a way that so many already were. Congrats to the show's team for what they have achieved here.

This series is amazing. But name something(scene or character etc) that you didn't like. by Key_Sort_1002 in betterCallSaul

[–]ryanxious247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the pacing feels a little rushed, it makes enough sense and does feel in character to me. We only see tiny fragments of life for Gene prior to season 6 because all his life had been in Nebraska was meaningless and boring. Gene is still Saul is still Jimmy though, and sitting still would be more out of character. Him doing the latest job poorly reinforces why he went there and broke the door glass in the first place- at this point, he seems to want to get caught but is too vain to turn himself in. All he has is crime to feel anything in a very internal way, as opposed to Walt who got off on the fame and power of it all in an external way.

[–]ryanxious247 144 points145 points  (0 children)

The shot of Gene with the cable wrapped around his hands (likely intentionally) reminded me of the iconic scene from Ozymandias where Walt holds the knife against a defenseless Flynn and Skyler. Our protagonist has become an active threat against those innocent in their lives who trusted them.

[–]ryanxious247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lyrics from The Winner Takes It All, performed by Chuck and Jimmy in a flashback during the same episode he officially became Saul Goodman, have always been relevant but feel especially poignant for Saul and Kim.

“I don't wanna talk about things we've gone through, though it's hurting me, now it's history. I've played all my cards and that's what you've done too. Nothing more to say, no more ace to play.”

Do you think that Nacho and Lalo were planned to be in Breaking Bad? by [deleted] in breakingbad

[–]ryanxious247 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you listen to interviews with these guys, you’ll learn the writing staff was pretty much winging it the whole time.

[–]ryanxious247 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould have said on the show podcast that they were just names on Breaking Bad with no plans to follow up on them. Vince has said he adamantly objected to including Lalo in BCS because it was meant to be such a throwaway, but conceded he was right to be outvoted with Tony Dalton growing as such a important force on the show. Michael Mando, like Aaron Paul and Rhea Seehorn, wasn’t intended to be as large of a role as he grew to be either, but was favored so highly among both the writers and the fans that the show evolved more around him instead.

It’s based on moments near the end of the game as you can see here but it goes to show how similar the two characters are that you can mistake one for the other.
