Boardgame fans are often very smart and aware.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What the most memorable moment from any video game?
3·6 days agoBeing upside down for the first time in an arcade game, in 1989!
Thrilling for the time and very memorable.
It was Afterburner installed into a bespoke cabinet at Fremantle Timezone.
The servos were directly connected to the flight-control stick, without any inputs of what was occuring in the gameplay. This meant you could be upside down, even when flying level in-game, and you would have to bank and dive to level-out the game during quiet parts or at the end of stages. No chance of redout, but the harness was torso only and uncomfortable for longer times upside down.
This was created as a ‘hack’, probably by LAI engineers, and unauthorised by SEGA. I’ve met a couple of these Perth game-engineers since, and they are true pioneers. So much so, that SEGA took interest and flew out it’s own engineer, Masaki Matsuno, to take a look, which inspired the creation of the R360.
Novel, but the lack of interconnect with gameplay made the experience clunky. Only played it twice.

Look for ‘Highly Supported’ and the unlocked-padlock-icon.

There are at least 100 Plus different types to try.
You just unlocked a buried memory of the VCR with the barcode-reader-in-the-remote method of setting record-times.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is known or said about darkrooms?
2·14 days agoThere is a ‘Do not enter’ light above the door to the dark room, that you flick on when developing, so that no one comes in and lets light in. Or there may be a 2-door airlock/lightlock.
There are big tongs with rubber ends, to move the photo-paper from one chemical bath to the next while developing.
I forget how to make white-borders around photos, maybe tape each of the 4 sides.


























I went for a 2nd-hand, budget, setup and it is decent enough for my usage. Medium clarity and throw. I agree that a pair of studio monitors is probably your best choice.
Behringer K6 NEKKST STUDIO MONITOR (pair) 100
Behringer Firepower FCA610 125
Cables balanced TS 6.35mm 34
Are these all excellent? Definitely not, but can be picked up fairly cheap, as they are legacy gear.
