  • Had the same issue with two vacuums in a row. Both broke within a couple months and couldn’t be reasonably serviced. Ended up with a 10-year-old used Kirby that feels like it should have a pull cord starter. Absolute beast of a unit and almost every (if not every) piece can be replaced.

  • This is a really unique approach to the challenge. I hope they find a way to make it durable. Right now, it looks like someone could easily hook onto and yank on the strings, ruining what I’d imagine is a really delicate mechanism.

    I foresee it being a hands-off display in any public/consumer setting until they figure that out.

  • You’re specifically asking about B-Movies here. They’ll grab whoever the heck fills the chair.

    If it sounds good enough for the story to be told and trick someone into watching it, the goal was achieved. Time for the next movie!

    Most of the time, if the dialog is delivered and actors are on set, that’s really all that matters for tax purposes.

  • I think the truth of it is, good sound engineering costs money, time, or both. I both ran sound and did sound design for local stage theater and I was shocked at how little the designers knew how to make their transitions seamless and avoid clipping, resonant frequencies, static, and a whole mess of other issues, many of which need fixes during recording rather than post.

    It took me about 5 years working with audio software before I was making stuff for other people but a lot of other people have the confidence to learn their skill working with live projects, project result be damned. I go back and listen to my early stuff and I hear all sorts of mistakes I didn’t even know I was making.

    Access to good hardware/software can also be a major detriment. I’ve had to sacrifice many design ideas due to available tools. When at the end of the day, it comes down to bad audio vs no audio at all, there’s an obvious winner.

  • Neon RGB with lots of tricks feels very San Francisco RUSH 2049/Nitronic Rush/Distance. Take a look at those. If it’s not them, let me know how they differ. Racing games are my jam, so I should be able to help you track this down.

  • I actually paid for this and use it on windows all the time. I generally don’t rip my Blu-Rays just because I have so many and not enough HDD space for it. The only reliable way I’ve found to play them in real-time has been MakeMKV + MPC-HC.

  • Oh, I have like 4 other computers with Linux. This one is just there until support for 10 ends. Then I’ll let go of those last few things and deal with it when that bridge comes. I’ve been on track to ditching it entirely for a couple years now in preparation for this exact case.

  • I’m down to one Windows machine and the death of Windows 10 will be the death of Windows for me. I’m holding out just for the games that just won’t work under Linux and some other proprietary software like Blu-Ray playback. What a run. I’ll be glad to see it go.
