The obligation to stay on Facebook for things like this is so frustrating at times. It feels like LinkedIn, where I have it because it's the only place to get some information.

I've recently gotten into model building, in the sense of buying those sheets of pieces that need cut out and snapped or glued together. like this

The issue I have is that I'm not really into most of the things they make models of. Most model kits in this style tend to be classic cars, military vehicles, or anime/Gundams. Not that there's anything wrong with those things, they're just not particularly interesting to me.

But I can spend hours just browsing the model kits on websites like big bad toys

There's the whole "it's so bad it's good" mentality, but The Room is so insufferably bad that it goes way passed the "it's good" part and just goes to being one of the most irritating movies I've ever seen.

Add on the weird cult following and it just gets worse, to me.

I'll be honest I completely forgot about the Chinese instructions because I set mine up quite a few years ago! That's a good warning to add on there, thank you!

I'm an idiot and i didn't even catch that, thank you! I'll edit it

So I'll preface this with - here's an example of how it turned out for me. Chuck E Cheese I'm 1994?

A big part of saving VHS tapes is that you can only save what the tape still has, so if the tape was poor quality already then you can only pull so much out of it. But if this kind of quality is reasonable for you, then this was done very easily.

I used an I-O Data GV-USB2 Video, they run about $50 USD. I recorded the video through OBS, which is a free program. Just plugged VCR into the I-O GV-USB2, hit recorded on OBS, and hit play on the vcr.

All of the upscaling is great but I think the cost-quality difference wasn't worth it considering the low quality of many of our home movies anyway. You can do better than what I have, and if it's worth the cost then absolutely go for it. But for 50 bucks I saved all of my family's old home videos on a hard drive and burned them to dvds and that's more than good enough for me.

That does make sense. It is no less infuriating 😂 but it makes sense.

I seriously do not understand how removing numbers was a good idea. That, more than anything, was when I practically stopped watching altogether.
