Oh snap! You back in?

Speaking of Vinyl Dye: Can it be applied to the knobs on joysticks? (balltops, battops etc.) Never did figure that one out. And if so do I need to sand the thing off and all that jazz?

I’m sure you can… I just painted it normal and dipped the shit outta it in polyacrylic when I was done. Turned out really good and I havent had problems with it.

Fuck USPS.
I’m sitting 20 feet from my front door, and the fucker quick slips the pink “durr could not deliver because of signature” slip in my mailbox and fucking bolts. He was seriously back in his mail truck by the time I got up when I heard my mailbox open, like a kid playing ding dong ditch…

Haha it’s going on a stick coming straight out of the box so I doubt there will be many scratches.
Hmmm, though you don’t need to primer with vinyl dye because if you use a spray paint the dye won’t stick to it after. I spray painted two of my previous cases though and they came out fine. I just want to experiment this time and see how well it comes out. Worse comes to worse, I just spray it back to the black that it was originally XD

Oh alright makes sense. =). Go to town on that shizz.

SECOND.
Im fortunate enough to be across the street from USPS. My girlfriend’s courier does that, then flirts with the divorcees on the block.
Also when my courier is sick, my mail comes at 5pm when I can literally see the post office from my font porch.

Tech Talk is so stupid without me.

Are you back again? Pick one!

How do i know that i spend too much time on the internets? My imagination added something too the “durr could not deliver because of signature” slip. The image of boxxy w/ her eyes all borked. “Hurr Durr Package Undelivered. You no sign’d!”

We need to start a petition for memes to appear in real life.

Just so that, when my Double Rainbow Jury Summons* is received, i can stab myself in the temple with a baseball bat.

*If “Double Rainbow Jury Summons” doesn’t cover it for ya, replace with “Keyboard Cat 401k,” “Chocolate Rain Prepaid Visa Offer,” or “LOLcat Sex Offender Has Moved Into Your Neighborhood Warning.” Your choice.)

hey guys i know this is the “think out loud thread” so im gna throw some thoughts out there and maybe someone could help me out.

Dual modding a ps3 TE stick. im missing something along the connection line and ive written all my connections out to dry and see what im missing but to not prevail. Im missing the bridge between the actual buttons and the chimp.

Ive been experimenting with the home button cause once i know it works ill do the rest. Ive screwed a ground wire from the 360 pad into the chimp and from there ive twisted a regular gauged wire with the home button wire and screwed those into the home spot on the chimp. The regular gauged wire runs into the original terminal that came with the stick. it then gets slipped in with one of the qds. from the the two wires running from the terminal to the buttons get plugged onto the button but when i press the button i get nothing.

i’ve tried trouble shooting ive touched the home wire on the pad with the ground wire from the pad while plugged into my xbox, so i know the pad itself is working. so it has to be either the buttons (which are new) to the terminal or the terminal to the chimp.

Any feedback as always is appreciated : )

this should be in the http://shoryuken.com/f177/official-cthulhu-chimp-thread-try-our-new-dreamcast-flavor-162026/ or the very least http://shoryuken.com/f177/absolute-noobie-thread-now-more-faq-220429/
but since you already posted it no worries…
your dual modding a ps3 with a chimp sounds like you didnt run your out wires from the chimp to the terminal strip… or pcb (whichever you feel like). you do know that if your doing that with a chimp on a ps3 you dont use the exsisting pcb. depending on how you set it up you need to run a little more wire. post this in the threads I have in this reply with a Pic of what you did. It should be easy to trouble shoot from there.

This is why I like my on campus PO box. But I don’t like because it isn’t always open :sad:. But they even will take UPS or FedEx or DHL or what have you shipping packages, too.

PaperTigre · 2010-12-21T02:37:03.000Z

I just got back from the post office with them, actually… first things first is to mod my EX2… I thought we could fit it in here, looks like we’re gonna need to dremel a bit though
<edit> looks like it shows up as a genuine 360 controller, interesting… don’t know if the Paewong ones did that.

Majinhurricane · 2010-12-21T03:40:02.000Z

gummybear you get that thing i sent you?

Yup it arrived today.Thank you! My bro should enjoy going through all those cards

I wonder if it’s possible to convert a te top panel into a hitbox-style layout.

Well, I mean I know it’s possible… eh, fuck it. I’ll give it a try. I just need to find my 24mm diamond grit drill bit.

a full replacement plexi seems like a easier solution.

Nerrage · 2010-12-21T04:45:05.000Z

Buying a lamp also seems like an easier solution to lighting needs, too.

Gummo · 2010-12-21T04:47:58.000Z

but then what would i do with the xbox?

Agreed, but I’ve already got a spare panel.

Majinhurricane · 2010-12-21T05:40:14.000Z

I was going to put food in it, but you saw how jam packed the box is.

Kuya_Joe · 2010-12-21T06:14:24.000Z

raining like crazy in southern cali… cant complain too much tho guess this would be a blizzard in most parts of the country… we just deal with rain… every three months or so…

The shape does look like it’s comfortable to sit on.
