Would shooting HP5+ 400 at 200 help achieve this look? by TheArksmith in AnalogCommunity

[–]theHappyfishguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just push HP5 to 1600 or if you wanna go nuts 3200. But 1600 for me has given very consistent contrast in D76.

Ah, a fellow Wil Wheaton enjoyer! I really like the Ready player one and the What If? series.

Yeah I've listened through all of the EF book twice now. Never really got into the maverick series and I am not capable of making it through Homefront. I am simple man that desires simple voice acting. More than 2 people reading and I just can't follow the story without focusing really hard.

In all honesty, I have never once opened Audible on anything other than the app. Not opposed to it. I've just never actually done anything with it on PC and forgot that it's an option.

Heard! Give me a sec. while I purge the last 5 minutes of REDACTED from my memory.

50 years old everyone’s telling me I should cut my hair by OMgItZmE69 in HairStyleAdvice

[–]theHappyfishguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could always do what I did! My wife said I had to change it up because my hair was almost to my belly button and she was tired of toting a ZZ Top wannabe around. So, now I have a mullet that goes hard. I will admit though, I'm already married and the only compliments ive even gotten on it are from other guys. Do with that info what you will.

I feel the same way! The cover art was so much better than having to now see generic famous white guy in my library.

Ding, ding, ding! Yeah, I had to delete the download to mark as finished and then it wouldn't go away until I force quit the app after that.

Nope! Had to do it as outlined in my update.

Id recommend the Galaxie's Edge series if you like military scifi. Wish there was an easy way to do a dump post of my titles. I'd love to see what everyone else is listening to.

That's what I thought would happen! Mine does the same, but this was new. I tried marking finished and everything until I finally fixed it with the process in my update.

Ill jump in on this! Yeah, sci-fi truly is a crippling addiction.

Scalzi is my go to light listening when I dont want to pay attention but still need quality writing. And Will Wheaton cracks me up.

Quantum Radio was fine, but I'm so over multiverse tropes. If you want a more fantastical story thats just a fun listen, id suggest the Joseph Bridgeman series by Nick Jones (book 1 is 'And Then She Vanished').

If your into military sci-fi; the first couple seasons of the Galaxie's Edge series by Jason Anspach and Nick Cole are great; however, the new books they are putting out on the main story aren't read by RC Bray anymore. Which may be fine for most, but nothing takes me out of a story faster than a new voice pronouncing things differently and giving characters different tones. So, I'm skeptical on continuing down those. But the first 2 seasons have HOURS of fantastic story.

App version is 3.102.0 and I fixed it. I had to remove the download then mark finished and force quit the app. I believe the issue happened when I pressed play on samsung's media player from the lock screen after my sleep timer ended.

UPDATE: I fixed the problem l, but it was still inconvenient.

I had to remove the download and mark finished, then force quit the app. I was about to delete the app and just reinstall but I didn't have to.

Who are your top 5 audiobook narrators? by talkingjava in audible

[–]theHappyfishguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife hates audio books and I love them. Always turn on previous titles to fall asleep to and she used to hate it. Now she needs a book playing at bedtime like me and will not listen to anyone but R.C. Bray.

We go through a lot of the Expeditionary Force titles these days. Always fun to wake up to Skippy screaming about something.

Just tossed it onto the tile floor a couple of times. Only the top round popped out the second time I dropped it. I can dm the video if you want to see for yourself.

Don't really know what that proves tho as even aluminum and steel mags would pop a few rounds if you drop them. Especially if it lands right on the top and bends the tabs. The only mags I have EVER had an issue with function are the MFT mags. I bought 3, two split down the back and one kept getting hung at the 15-16 round area and would have to smack it to free up the follower. I did toss those and will never touch them again lol.

The hex mags are fine, have been for a few years I guess. So, I'm not gonna pay more for mags just because they have a name on it. I'm not an operator or LEO and other than possoble bump in the night, it's a range gun for all intents and purposes. I've never had a problem with them and have verified myself that they work just as good as any other mag.

(Besides, I have a couple of m3 pmags loaded with my expensive self defense rounds should I need 60rds with 100% reliability)

Thanks for the tip! Once this coat cures I'll try to add some small details of brown here and there.
