What forks did they swap onto it? Also, I'd recommend putting a fender on asap. Don't want your brake lines getting pulled into that wheel and sending you into the asphalt.

^ Def, the guy took good care of the bike but never had a chance to finish up the front end swap. It's got parts from a gsxr 1k+750+600, real frankenbike up front. Fender + speedo sensor will get me sorted.

That one specifically? I wouldn't think there's enough resolution from just putting a Note 4 in front of your face.

The Note 4 has a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, while the Occulus Rift DK2 is 1920×1080.

Please let me know the second GTA5 for PC gets working with this.

Edit: nevermind this is the one you have to have the note 4 to use, I had thought they were simply integrating the note4's screen into the oculus interface.

Wanted to revive my old piano hobby and bought a Kawai VPC1 midi keyboard with K&M stand & bench. The quality & engineering of K&M products especially surprised me. Feels very durable and doesn't wobble at all. Should have bought their sheet music holder too, since the one with the keyboard is quite awful :v:

I bought it from a local guy. Sorry! The guy bought it new for a video project and ended up not using it. It sat in a closet until he decided to clear out some stuff. It was just a lucky find.

The Oculus already uses Note screens.

Following up on boot chat from earlier, just a heads up for everyone that Amazon has a code right now for 25% off boots that works on Red Wings, Chippewas, and wolverines (and maybe others). Just picked up a sweet pair of Chippewa Service Boots as a result.

Well, as a combo birthday present (his and mine), wedding anniversary (#15), and early Xmas pressie....we now actually have a nice TV and speakers.

and some sort of Vizio 5.1 surround sound speaker things.

He says they are good, I don't really know much about it but I can actually see the TV now :) YAY!!

Okay I guess that's what I was thinking of then. So this Gear VR (powered by Oculus) lets you stick a Note 4 in front of your eyeballs, but the website doesn't mention anything about hooking it up to a PC to use with games like the Oculus Rift can? And the Rift is aiming to lower the cost a bit when it hits a consumer model, which would put it not too far from the price of this note4-holding device? I assume in 20 years we'll be able to play Far Cry 19 at max settings from our cell phones in 3D but for now isn't the ability to use your VR headset with a powerful gaming system sort of a given? Or is this a feature that'll be integrated later?

I had a Zoom PS04, but the interface was horribly designed. Learning how to do anything beyond the most basic tasks was confusing as hell, and it used uncommon memory cards that were expensive, and ultimately the buttons started getting stuck. I was able to record much better sounding demo's with an iPhone and an iRig adapter, using NanoStudio and JamUP, which was a lot easier and cheaper as well. Hopefully they got their poo poo together.

I was also using those same headphones. Great sound, but the paper thin leather veneer over the earmuffs slowly came off and left little bits of black material all over the house.

The 7506 are studio monitors. Nice for monitoring but a bit fatiguing to listen to.

The H4n is super easy to get the hang of. The menu system feels just a little clunky (compared to my old Tascam DR-40) but easy to navigate through. The button layout and everything is simple enough. My only complaint is that there's no protection for the mics (it's guaranteed that I'll eventually drop this thing) or locking XLR inputs like on the DR-40. Still, the sound it captures is great and I'm really happy with it.

Yeah, I think I'll stick with my old AKGs for general listening. The higher-range frequencies of the 7506s are pretty rough on my ears. When I first got them, I was shuffling through some music and something from Metallica's And Justice for All album came on and nearly killed me.

Okay, here's a question related to CAH I never knew where to ask before. How the gently caress does everyone shuffle the thousands of cards they have? Do you just cut the deck and pass them around for everyone to shuffle? Shuffling machines are only good for like 200 cards at a time or so.

Either by magic, or by not giving a gently caress.

Personally, I just grab a random bunch, shuffle, and that's what we start with. From there, any new cards are grabbed from the box by whoever. If you play to win, you're playing it wrong.
