Modder, programmer, and all around tinkerer. Yes, I’m that New Vegas and Deus Ex guy.

You can also find me over at lemmy.sdf.org under the same username.

  • Another satisfied customer. Huzzah!

    I do want to say that Shifter was one of my earliest major mods and some of the decisions I made were not exactly the most well thought out. It's used as the basis for a lot of other mods but they almost all make some adjustments to what I did, and rightfully so. Other than that little disclaimer, I hope you have fun! :D

  • Mostly Deus Ex and the Bethesda Fallout titles. (3, New Vegas, and 4)

  • I made some mods for a few games. People still use 'em.

  • No no, we mean it, at least at that price. I'd be willing to kick YouTube a few bucks a month. I'm not going to pay them more per month than most MMOs. They're trying to charge streaming service prices for content they don't produce.

  • You actually have to switch modes? Mine just has a lever that goes either forwards or backwards depending on which nozzle you want to use.

  • Also, please no smart features, they age poorly. I can provide my own…

    I do like it when a TV has fully implemented CEC and I can use its controls to control any devices hooked up to it. If there needs to be some rudimentary "Smart OS" there to make that work I can live with it. But yeah, chances are I'm plugging a hacked AndroidTV box into it and using it as a glorified monitor.

  • Depending on the device it's a safety issue, too. It should literally be illegal for cars to have touchscreen controls that the driver is meant to interact with while driving.

  • Tom Paris is that you?

  • Nothing like having to unlock your phone and wait for it to reload the app just so you can turn down the volume. And good luck doing that if you're having network issues.

  • TV companies can hide them in the back, so that is a design problem.

    Yep. Both of my TVs have controls on the back. One has the traditional row of up/down/channel/volume/etc buttons like you'd expect, another has four buttons with a little joystick in the middle that lets you navigate the menu system. Both work fine, well enough that I can change the inputs and the volume without fumbling through menus.

  • OP if your problem with buttons is looking at them, they figured out the solution to this back in the 70s: don't put them on the front of the TV. TVs have been made with buttons on the top, bottom, and sides for literally decades, and with flat screens the back is perfectly fine, too.

    A TV without buttons is a dealbreaker for me. If I can't control it without the remote I'm not gonna be happy.

  • This guy gets it.

  • Nothing that private, or they'd have already been pitched in the shredder. It's just old family movies mostly, already digitized and saved away.

  • Once I get rid of the camcorder I won't have anything that can use the tapes. I won't have any use for the tapes. They may as well go with it.

  • That is not the end goal. I want the tapes to still be usable.

  • Got any recommendations?

  • "SECURE YOUR NETWORK DIPASS"

    This was back in the days when routers defaulted to no encryption with a stock password for the UI. Also I was the one who changed random people's SSID to that when I found an unsecured network.

  • Masayoshi Takanaka - The Rainbow Goblins. Well, that's an album, but the whole album is fire.
