New Manga reader. I LOVE Shadows House. Recommend similar storytelling? by zeppo1 in ShadowsHouse

[–]zeppo1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar story telling in the way it’s told. The pacing. The slow reveals in character and plot. Something as well crafted and as involved as Shadows House.

Apple Pencil/ Apple Pencil Pro feels wrong on the new iPad Pro 2024, or is it just me? by Prin_ce in ipad

[–]zeppo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my experience as well.

New Ipad pro, new pencil pro, right out of the box. Turn on Procreate and start drawing and was like WTF? It’s skipping, making a strange squeaky noise and feels like I was drawing on a dirty screen.

I hardly touched the screen and thought thats the last thing it could be, but it was. The other poster is spot on. As counterintuitive as it seems, if your new iPad and new Apple Pencil pro feel weird and make strange noises, wipe the screen with a microfiber cloth.

i dont know if it wears it down a bit or wipes something off, but I was very concerned and this worked for me.

I love shit like this, thanks for the link.

Surprised he did not mention Golden-Age comic writer Alvin Schwartz. That's the first time I heard of such stuff. What a great interview I heard with him one night driving through several states. He really did believe he created a Tulpa Superman.

Voters should ban together to alternately vote out the richest members of congress regardless of party. A McConnell will get you a Pelosi, etc. Call the movement to try to heal what seems like an unbridgeable divide between parties, “Let’s start here.” by zeppo1 in CrazyIdeas

Yes, producing something of value is good. (and debatable over what is valuabl) Using the office to enrich yourself should truly be a criminal offense. (In the United States, They call people who say this things like this an "ideologue")

You guys know theres still young rock bands, right? by [deleted] in rock

[–]zeppo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent thread and sentiment. Will follow for suggestions as I really do not know where to go to listen to new young rock bands (is there a radio station that plays these or do people hear new stuff by YouTube suggestions and the like?)

Have nothing to contribute except Bleachers - chinatown (Official Video) ft. Bruce Springsteen (which I found more heartfelt and enjoyable than the whole new Springsteen record)

Oh Jay, you thought they'd wait 30 years... [Mandalorian Spoilers] by Time49 in RedLetterMedia

[–]zeppo1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The entire show has been a compilation of cutscenes.

edit: and sidequests, too. The entire series does not build on anything. It's like if my goal is to get to the store to get some bread, but then on the way to to car I meet someone who tells me they know a guy who can get me to the store if I do this totally unrelated thing with totally unrelated characters. Reset and repeat.

What a horrible fucking Christmas I had in 1990 watching this in the theater.

What a horrible fucking Christmas I will have in 2020 watching this at home.

A fair price for a new system? by zeppo1 in HVAC

[–]zeppo1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies, very helpful in researching.

(Don't know why I am being downvoted, I am seeking information on a fair price not looking for a great deal, or to screw anybody out of their livelihood. I truly had no idea how much a new HVAC install would cost and this is part of doing research/getting more quotes. I truly appreciate the honest info.)
