Is Mafia The Old Country Likely To Go Down Any More In Price At Black Friday?

I've been wanting to try it and it seems to keep going to $29.99 multiple times. Do you think it'll drop any lower at Black Friday? And is there any reason to get the Definitive Edition over the Standard?

How is the performance on ipad attached to an external monitor?

Going on vacation and used to playing on Xbox. I want to play on my ipad while I'm gone and looked at getting a 15" portable monitor. Is there noticeable lag on ipad on wifi? And would connecting to an external monitor cause more lag?

I think I'm well past paranoia

I've got an IPhone 16 Pro and am about to upgrade soon. I always keep my last phone as a backup and trade the previous so I'm likely going to get the 18 Pro and trade in Galaxy S23 Plus and keep the 16 Pro as a backup in case anything ever happens. Was considering the Air but with the hell I put my Pro through I don't think that's a good idea. With the battery being like this, I don't have AppleCare or under warranty so it's $120. Is it worth it to go ahead and pay that to get the battery replaced and then still have it as a backup? Will there be any other issues once that's replaced or is it basically as good as new again? Cosmetically it looks great.

Upgrading From 16 Pro To Air Or Pro 18

I've got a 16 Pro and coming up on time to look at upgrading. I've been happy with the 16 Pro but one thing that bugs me is the outdoor brightness. It never feels bright enough. I have to shield my eyes to see it. My son just got an Air a few days ago and I'd pretty much ignored it thinking it was just srripped down and wouldn't be worth bothering. I was shocked at the weight. It felt so light and thin. I do use the.5x and the 5x cameras but I don't know that it would be a huge deal to me if I went that way. The one speaker is a concern too but 99% of the time I use my Airpods anyway.

I'm also curious about the 18 Pro because I'm sure it would be a nice upgrade but with a price increase I don't know that I want to do that. I essentially want something that will be fully paid or about $10 or so a month after promotion. I'm so torn on what to do. Anybody switched from the 16 Pro to the Air and loved or hated it? Did it feel like a downgrade? I don't know what to do.

What happened to the pre game presentation?

Just got a copy of 19 and jumped into a Play Now game. I cut the clip too short but what the hell happened to presentation like this?? It's like a completely different game. Why are we 8 years later and gone backwards?

Best quality captures?

Are Amalgam the best quality captures? I'm looking to buy multiple captures and trying to find the highest quality. I know Amalgam has a 10 for 5 deal too. I think that'll cover everything I want.

Why are these $400? What corners were cut?

I've been debating buying an Epiphone 50s or 60s Les Paul for a little while now and just came across these? How are they so cheap?? Are they junk?

JHS Packrat or Proco Rat?

I am looking to buy a Rat pedal. I found a good deal on a Ratsbane but then I read it wasn't quite the same. I thought about the Packrat since it covers multiple different Rats. Also considering just getting the Proco Rat. I found the Packrat for $170 used which is what got me considering it. I wouldn't pay full price but at a used deal I wasn't sure if it might be better since it offers multiple options.

What's the best way to attach pedals to the board that won't mess up the backs?

Bought a pedalboard. Comes with Velcro on the board and a roll to put on the pedals. I want to keep mine clean and not tear the paint off of them. I don't gig. Everything stays at home. What's the best way to put them on the board but avoid the adhesive messing them up if I take them off?

Building A Pedalboard Again

State of the cardboard currently. Haven't played guitar in a long ass time and decided I want to put a pedalboard together again. I play a wide range of things. Hendrix, Frusciante, Mayer, Southern Rock, 90s rock, country, the list goes on. I'm gonna use my Tonex for amp captures.

Got some new pedals this week: Morning Glory, Centavo, TS808 and 69 Vibe. I'm waiting on an Ego Mini Compressor and a Boss RV-6 reverb. I laid it out to fit on a Pedaltrain Novo 32. I don't gig so it'll really be just messing around at home. I'm excited to get everything set up and play. On the other hand until it's done and all wired up it gives me anxiety and makes me just to say screw it and get a Helix instead. Looking forward to getting back into playing again.

How does my top line not get the AP boost here?

Is that not 99X, Icon and any card?

Does this look like the power supply for the big Tonex pedal?

We moved and I haven't used the Tonex pedal in a while so I can't remember what it looks like. Does this look like it? If not, would anyone mind taking a picture of it for me while I'm on the hunt?

Been avoiding buying pedals for months and now coming back to all the Warm Audio Mystery Box posts on the day I'm debating buying a Centavo

Over the past 6 months I've seen several Smokybrown nymphs in this bathroom. Is this a Smokybrown or German?

About To Build My First 99X - Trying To Decide

This is the best of my team so far. I'm going to make a 99X and will likely be the only one I make. Trying to decide who. There are 3 I'm debating. Lemieux, McDavid or Sakic. As an old school hockey fan I really want Lemieux. I was looking at McDavid too because I've never played with a McDavid card. The last possibility is Sakic. If anyone has used any or all of them, who have you liked or not liked?

Does the Key 37 G2 have sufficient RAM to run a lot of plugins?

I had the original Key 37 and loved the layout. Literally my only complaints were the delay in scrolling through sounds and hitting the RAM limit very easily. I really want to run as much as possible in the Key 37 especially with more and more plugins coming out. I've got a Roland Fantom 06 but would much rather keep it all in one if possible. Bass, strings, horns, Rhodes, piano, etc. Does anyone use the new Key 37 with a ton of plugins at a time? Do you hit the RAM wall? I really would like to get one but don't want to have the same problem again.

Building 97 Captains

I'm trying to get rid of my fodder and build a 97 Captain. I know the 92 Captain takes 89-90s. I'm drained on those but have a bunch of 88s. What's the best thing to do with them? Put them in the 88+ exchange and hope for 90s? Any way I can utilize 91s as well?

97 Rookie Bobrovsky Or XP Adin Hill?

I've been playing for a few weeks now. I pulled Crowned Bussi from a pack and he was great but I sold him to keep the coins instead. I went to the XP Hill and he has been rough for me. Just lets in the weirdest goals easily. I've tried to stick with him since he's free but getting frustrated. I can build Rookie Bobrovsky for next to nothing. Is he worth it? Any better? I got Rookie Montembault from the XP path and have the fodder to make the other 2 95s. I also have a 92 Crowned goalie which would give me +3 AP if I do it. Anybody used him? Like him? Is it worth it over Hill?
