Has anyone digitized the Embassy/Warner 1.33:1 Blade Runner American Theatrical Cut?

I'm not out here trying to pirate, I own like 6 copies of this movie but my trusty Embassy VHS just died the good fight. I'd love to obtain a digitized version of the 1:33:1 release to playback on my crt. I have various copies on DVD and Blu-Ray but they are all 2.35:1 so completely not appropriate for a 4:3 display.

How would I go about finding this or maybe even buying a LD to get digitized?

Toon in with Me makes me happy

I can’t express how much I love that this “show” is allowed to exist. It can’t be that expensive to produce. It brings so much joy to just a run of the mill loony toons programming block.

I don’t understand why we can’t have more nice things in today’s world of television. Is it really that much of a money drag? How hard could it be to add a human touch into a Pluto TV channel. They run blocks of stuff like nicktoons. How about spend a tiny budget to bring back Stick Stickly to bring soul to the zombie wasteland of TV and Streaming?

Thank you for attending my TedTalk.

Is the SS1 an evergreen project?

As colors are selling out, has Taki mentioned if more will be made after this round of sales dry up? Seems like it’s been a massive undertaking and I wouldn’t blame him from wanting to call it after all his orders go through to focus on other things or even building a bigger infrastructure for future projects.

This project seems like a lot for essentially a one man show with some hired helping hands.

Table for H2S

I got an H2S during the holidays and it’s been on the floor almost exclusively since.

I had tried a heavy duty folding table and even a mdf table thingie but the wobble was real. Back on the floor it went.

Is there a good solution for like $200 or less to get this thing off the ground and save my back?

How can I improve quiet/lower listening levels

I have a pair of bookshelves that I like. Infinity R162. They sound good when you push volume but they feel very thin and lacking of body and warmth at my normal “quiet” listening levels.

Where/how do I go about improving this? For the levels I want, it feels silly to add a subwoofer but maybe that’s just what needs to be done. The 6.5 drivers seem to have the ability to push air at those higher volumes, but just don’t at quite listening levels.

I’m running them through a newer Harmon Kardon AVR as a source. Personal FLAC rips using jellyfin to the receiver with HDMI.

Geeksquad doesn’t do full PC builds under total but can parts be done?

Total doesn’t cover full builds anymore. How much do I need done before they will “finish” a build? I know it’s easy, but I would like to have the CPU heatsink installed with the brackets and proper amount of thermal paste.

Information on Artwork/Poster in The Matrix Resurrections?

Did anyone ever get information on what this poster or artwork is? I got an LLM hallucinating that it’s a “photograph” by Darin Pappas and was sold on allposters.com in the 90s. Called it out as such and it was like “yeah, totally right in calling me out cuz that’s bullshit”. Then it’s telling me it’s a stylistic recreation of a promotional photo of an Hp ProLiant server rack. I hate LLMs. I had it “upscale” the image and it failed pretty spectacularly. I’m sure this art must be specific to the movie?

This network blows my mind. How does it exist? How does it make money? Why has it taken so long for something like this to exist?

I see tiny original content based around bumpers and advertisements. Who’s making these? I want more.

I can’t be the only one who genuinely feels like this channel is what Cartoon Network started out as.

I’ve owned a mister stack in an acrylic case for awhile and it’s just a pain to use. It’s small, light (slides around), hard to get to all the ports under my TV. It’s ugly.

The user experience is amazing. I need a good solution to rehouse this thing. I’ve seen the ironclad which makes it fit in itx cases but I’m not sure if that’s the way to go.

I’d love for a console style case for the stack, not just a “shell” like my current setup. Any suggestions for 3D prints or solutions that are better than the little acrylic shells? I want to enjoy the outside as much as the inside :)

I see these things have gotten cheap lately. Sub-$100 for 44 licensed Neo Geo games is pretty solid. I’m out here trying not to spend on an AES+.

But it doesn’t have any shooters! Other than Batocera beta is there any way to get a shooter or two like Pulsar or Blazing Star on here?

I’m seeing HyloX for the MVSX which has a similar board to this thing but I’m not sure that method would ever work.

The metal chassis is sturdy and honestly a quick rewire into a Pi would probably do trick but I mean, less work, less (no) money is always ideal.

The alternative in the price range is a Pandora Box is always such a gamble, usually super jank, and this just seems better.

I have an older Pandora panel with an aging board inside but the sticks and buttons were upgraded to Sanwa. It’s a very well built chassis but the board is just trash tier.

Is there a cost effective (sub-$200) way to get reasonable performance from Naomi/Atomiswave games?

Any chance of retrofitting a mini pc (n100?) or finding a newer rk3566 based Pandora mainboard? Seems like only mrmattsarcade was selling those boards and AliExpress is a fail.

This is one of those “I know starting from scratch results in a better end result but I want to use what I have” type deals.

Maybe even stuff a $100 google tv streamer in there with a good front end?

Is there any solid new controllers that would be a good fit?

Also, would a playstation 2 DualShock work on it? Gently used matching transparent blue controller seems peak.
