If you use the 'quick reply' section at the bottom of the thread's page, there isn't any option, but if you click the 'Reply' button near the bottom of the most recent reply, there will be a section beneath the reply message box to upload

Then it should appear at the bottom with a readout of how much space you have per message.

Oh man, it's reeeeeeally uncanny valley

They leaned into the stylized toony look in the original, and this is like putting an HD texture pack into minecraft

Anybody see the Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion remake that went from rumor/leak to drop in a matter of days?

I'm definitely not buying day-one anymore, and based on steams (from the only streamer I like, because he's not a bait streamer), the performance isn't great. Since it was steamdeck verified, he was playing linux desktop via Proton. He's going to try Windows in a little bit, so we'll see.

From what I saw in the stream, it's:
  • Unreal 5 rendering atop the Creation engine
  • a strange mix of Oblivion body animations out of conversation, and Starfield gesture, posture, and facial animations in dialogue. (haven't seen any non-conversation/bark facial animations, however.)
  • Some either new quests and dialogue, and/or restored cut content
  • and it's preserved the horrifically wonderful and lovable character creator jank (see attached)

I think after some patching (and probably a steam sale) I'll give it a go.



Currently making my slow way through Half-Life 2. with some heavily-modded Skyrim in the mix.

I'll admit it's impressive. It's just lacking in ...humanity.

Maybe because djent's not really my thing, but I need some imperfection in there. I mean, the generative programming coming up with that whole thing is definitely an impressive feat. But the sound/tone is like DOOM_E1M1.MID with some hi-fi MIDI instrumentation.

Full disclosure, I really despise what music production has become over the last 20 years—I hate saying that because it makes me feel old. Gridded drums, or really everything, micro-tuned vocals, crispy highs. I'm not saying we let slide crap like Morrisey's vocals (I only listened a whole album about a year ago and I had to shut it off because he was so out of tune). But there's got to be a happy medium.

I know, I sound like a luddite. Maybe I need to get with the program. I'm sure there's some irony in your post that gets lost in textlation, so I might be missing the point. I'm good at that, at least.

Quote from: Govmnt_Lacky on April 08, 2025, 12:39:36 PMThis build is stunning!
Only recommendation I would have is to use black anodized screws and washers.

BRAVO!!!
Thank you! And that's a dang good idea... I bet I could scrounge up some somewheres.

Quote from: Aleph Null on April 07, 2025, 10:46:11 PMDid you mill your own slots? Looks super clean!
I did not. I modified a Tayda drill template for the PPCB 6-band. Basically I just moved the LED and foot switch points to match where my other pedals' points are (or getting to).

The inside was pretty burr-y but thankfully no one sees that side ;D

Thanks for the lead. Looked into Same Sky's catalog and no luck :-\

I was DMing another member on the PPCB forum, and he's mostly convinced it's actual a unique design. Interesting. I do like the idea of putting the stress of insertion mostly on the chassis rather than the PCB.

I promised myself I'd never use AliExpress, but figured a search wouldn't hurt to look. Found another PN, but it's not consistent across different sellers, with some of them showing a plastic-shafted version. "PJ-601B" seems to be the best.

ugly link to an ebay listing, but it just has to be cloned from something else of plausibly better quality...

6.35mm Stereo Female Jack Socket Microphone Dual Channel Connector Cable Adapter - Picture 10 of 22

I'd consider the Neutrik jack that Peter uses for his VFE builds... It's a matter of judging strength vs footprint. I wonder how long those PJ jacks would actually last, given the track record of thin metal in other MiC clones. The footprint of that PJ jack is so convenient for IO board designs.

Thanks. I'm looking for a metal threaded version, though :)

And yikes, is that price because it's "Marshall?" :o I think i saw switchcraft had something similar to that plastic one.

With the troubles in southeast Asia, I don't think Tayda will be unaffected :( I hope Hugo is okay.

What I'm wondering is if anyone knows where I can find this particular jack.
6.35mm 1/4

I've looked at Small Bear, LMS, and StompboxParts with no luck. The Tayda page is a PN and manufacturer that just leads back to that page. I'm certain it's a clone of some existing jack, but I have no clue which one it is. Lumberg?

Anyhow, if you have a clue, please let me know. Thanks.
