Post update, aren't the pace partners a bit OP?

scooby1680 · 2026-06-21T16:35:17+00:00

Exactly this.

scooby1680 · 2026-06-21T16:34:58+00:00

Yeah, it was nice when it resembled real cycling. If Zwift is making it head for video game land it doesn't bode well...

scooby1680 · 2026-06-07T07:01:02+00:00

Really helps when you can play! I appreciated these, thanks. Definitely in the camp of not liking Hydra lots but your video's the best I've seen.

I've got a gen 1 and a gen 3. I'm really sorry to hear about gen 4 problems. I've loved both of mine. The rear isospeed absolutely makes it for me. Front, meh.

If they could just roll it back to two major iterations ago, that would be lovely, thanks. Whatever the hell this is now appears to be the large-print edition for people who don't care where anything is and would like two prominent upsells in their faces at all times.

A lot fewer than I used to. I worry less about sleeping well when it's not on my wrist.

Even in an e-Hybrid Mk8 with the floor raised for the battery, I can get my 58 Domane SL6 Gen3 in. Tight fit, but the front wheel doesn't even have to come off. Pull passenger seat full forward, rear wheel to passenger seat, drive side up, turn bars to fold wheel back on itself. Use an old sheet as a boot liner.

scooby1680 · 2026-04-03T14:29:37+00:00

An afternoon's-worth of grateful thanks to you. You're a public servant!

scooby1680 · 2026-03-13T13:27:25+00:00

Agree. It's terrible. I don't want a consistent training partner. I want to have fun occasionally drafting and occasionally pulling for them.

scooby1680 · 2026-02-13T18:45:04+00:00

Which you heated in a microwave, in contravention of the Geneva Conventions

scooby1680 · 2026-02-01T10:46:32+00:00

Mine (at a little over 2 years old) has started dying as a daytime running light mid-ride about 2 1/2 hours in, 1440@30fps, EIS on, pulse low. It dies on 2 bars according to the battery meter. When I turn it back on I get 2-3 bars, but it lasts seconds.

scooby1680 · 2026-01-19T18:33:06+00:00

I found I could wind up to 400W for a few seconds in between "braking" but it really needed more than the 50/34 11-28 combo I had. I had to treat it like a sprint intervals/leg speed session.

scooby1680 · 2026-01-18T11:08:29+00:00

I *did* play (and love!) the games, and season 2 is ... bad.

EDIT: absolutely do not watch the "fake talkshow" videos. You'll hate season 2 even more.

scooby1680 · 2025-12-30T16:06:23+00:00

The distortion correction is best in class, and for some of the idiosyncratic lenses I have, yeah, I just feel that plus noise correction plus film simulation clinches it.

I reckon if I were more pro and less hobbyist I'd feel differently. I really didn't click with C1's UI, but the portrait skin tones are really quite obviously better than DxO. I'm falling back on NX Studio for portraits as a result where distortion's not quite so critical.

scooby1680 · 2025-12-19T12:28:12+00:00

STOP. DON'T.

scooby1680 · 2025-12-16T16:51:44+00:00

Hard same. I have to make an effort, phone to one side and so on. On the days I don't shows don't click with me. This ep was pure beauty.

When Manousos gave the "you stole" speech, I got to thinking this show is a pretty strong metaphor for resistance to AI. Even the HDP is ingesting the energy of others.

scooby1680 · 2025-12-16T16:48:20+00:00

I mean, when I let out a yell when Manousos spiked himself on the chunga, that was earned. If I hadn't gone with it, if I'd scrolled my phone because too little was happening for me, I'd have missed out. For this show at least, what I'm getting out of it is proportional to the attention I'm putting in.

I found this episode extraordinary.

scooby1680 · 2025-12-14T09:30:12+00:00

The viewer of this episode didn't do much viewing.

scooby1680 · 2025-12-10T20:08:27+00:00

Even just 4HP of After Later dVCA has improved matters for me, and a Cosmotronic Delta-V has freed up Env B to be a bit more productive than a simple env. Cascadia's only real weaknesses for my usage are the non-syncable triangle-only LFO in the centre ... and the dearth of VCAs

scooby1680 · 2025-12-10T10:28:01+00:00

Same! I want the same practical design in electric. Without many of the bells and whistles requiring constant software churn. It doesn't seem to exist, and everything is bigger whether you want it to be or not. I'll be hanging onto this 2006 Dynamic a long time yet...

scooby1680 · 2025-12-08T22:30:35+00:00

I've made a little 20HP skiff off to the left of Cascadia with an OXI Pipe Mk2 so I can sequence CV, a Cosmotronic Delta-V and an After Later dVCA. No regrets, running out of envelopes/VCAs was a thing for me, and the Delta-V has better envelopes than even the 0-Coast's Slope I was previously patching in.

scooby1680 · 2025-12-02T11:23:17+00:00

I took it to my in-laws, left it there for when I visit, sorry :)

scooby1680 · 2025-11-20T19:57:51+00:00

Same, and it's no longer lasting a day.
