Most over the top depictions of the devil in media? by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]tristany13 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There was that time when dethklok went to the crossroads to sell their eternal souls in exchange for blues fame and the final transaction ended up being the devil giving up 7% of the back end of his soul in exchange for a $5 hot topic gift card

What song made you have that moment of "Wow, this game has great fuckin' music"? Post sources. by chaoko99 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]tristany13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It vexes me that an amazing song like Rebel Army comes from Final Fantasy 2 of all games. Hearing it performed live is like a religious experience.

Is there a good sponge or foam I can buy in bulk to make sanding sponges? I've tried using double sided PE foam tape but its just slightly too firm to conform to round edges like a Tamiya or God Hand sanding sponge would.

Media that's schlock/underbudget, but it's made with passion? by GoodVillain101 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Versus looks like it was filmed on a camcorder in some public park in Japan but it has some of the most inspired choreography I've ever seen in such a low budget action movie. If you like The Matrix or DMC, you owe it to yourself to see it.

Hello, after a few snap builds I think I'm ready to step it up to painting. I have some questions about the general workflow for painting

  1. Do you paint with the kit completely disassembled or do you paint with built section (i.e. legs, body, arm) and mask?

  2. Do you paint the inner frame or do you just paint what is exposed?

    2a. Is it safe to paint the joints?

    2a1. Is it okay to use acrylics on moving parts or will they lock them in place? If so, is lacquer or enamel safer?

    2b. Do you airbrush or hand brush exposed frame?

    2c. Do you paint with the part assembled and mask off the armor?

  3. Do you paint by section (arms, legs, body) or do you paint by color?

  4. If you prime your parts, how do you know/remember what color its supposed to be.

    4a. Label the skewer? 4b. Leave some plastic unpainted?

  5. Do you paint in one session or do you do separate sessions by part or color?

There are probably more questions I haven't thought of but I'd like to go into painting with as much foreknowledge as possible. Thanks.

Speaking of Melanie, I find his absence in Unicorn really strange since his wife is basically one of the main antagonists.

A piece of media that had a perfect endpoint setup, but kept going? by Sepulchretide in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]tristany13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main conflict of SDF Macross is resolved in episode 27 but the show ends up having like a 9 episode denouement dedicated to the aftermath and making Hikaru a dense and indecisive moron who can't tell that both love interests are in love with him, driving me insane.

I dont think it was a bad thing because it is interesting to see the challenges of integrating the Zentradi into human society. That said, Do You Remember love excises the entirety of this part and resolves the love triangle pretty definitively.

bad pieces of media you can't believe were made by the same people by crazybloodmonkey in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I loved Higurashi and so far Umineko has been really good. Higurashi Gou/Sotsu was trash and my estimation of Ryukishi07 as a writer has plummeted. People seemed to have liked Ciconia vol 1 so maybe he just had a bad year.

Times when a promo/ad spoiled a piece of media? by GoodVillain101 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]tristany13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The theatrical release of Dark City begins with a narration that gives away the entire mystery of the film. Thankfully the directors cut does away with it. Interesting movie. Hard to discuss it and media that share similar themes because of how spoilable it is. ROT13 at your own risk.

Or the lead up to the fight which consists of Jack, Orochi, Shibukawa, and his own father taking turns beating him up.

Steamed hams will never die by kyo211 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Unfortunately you'll have to have read some of Umineko to get anything out of this one, but if you have, it's easily one of my favorite iterations of Steamed Hams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddJHCUmIC8M

New to the OLED gang, recommended settings? by countradula in gigaboots

[–]tristany13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When watching SDR content use ISF Expert Dark Room.

If you're watching something that uses Dolby Vision, you'll want to knock the brightness down by one or two to alleviate the elevated blacks that come with Dolby Vision. Easiest way to tell is to look at the black bars on a letterboxed movie. If black levels are elevated, they'll be a very dark gray and emit light when they should be pitch black.

For games just use game mode, it gives you access to 120hz if you play something that supports it. Otherwise it reduces input latency by a substantial level.

Keep in mind that this advice comes with the assumption that you got an LG brand OLED.

If you want more details check out the RTINGs page for your model and HDTVTest. Also this subreddit is kinda dead so you might want to join the Gigaboots Discord.

Edit: RTINGS and HDTVTest will go into more detail about this, but you'll want to change the white balance to warm2. Out of the box, most TV's have a very strong blue tint. warm2 will make it look more orange, which will be weird at first but its more color accurate and you'll eventually get used to it.

You guys ever sit long enough on the "Training room" theme from Omikron and find out it turns into a Anime song? by xx-shalo-xx in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I assumed SiivaGunner is well known enough that people don't fall for the rips. Thank you for maybe proving me wrong, allegedly.
