Pickups are a HUGE deal to me. There's a sound in my head I strive for, and pickups will get you there more than $1000+ mahogany.

I gave the push-pull thing a shot a long time ago, but I wasn't into it. I blame the pickup, though, as that had more to do with it than anything. I might try it out again, someday.

Btw, if I'm going to recommend pickups, it's all about Bare Knuckle! I've got Riff Raffs, Mississippi Queens, and Black Dogs (that looks weird when I read it) and all are fantastic! What pickups do you like?

I hear ya, getting out the soldering iron is part of the fun of improving sound. But... No, I don't enjoy that more than playing, lol, but it's cool to do.

There's a multitude of nice, cheaper off-brands. I used to go with Agile, for awhile. Epiphone can be nice, if you set them up properly and upgrade the hell out of them.
I think if I were to go name-brand to spend a little more, it'd probably be Fender. I don't have a Fender, anymore, though, (G&L Tribute) but I miss the one I had.

Eh... everything ok? Haven't heard from ya in a couple days. I hope that I didn't bother you with my not "liking" your cyborg related stuff; just not something I'm into, that's all.
Again, hope all is well! There's a new pic I posted, too. I've already got my first comic series in awhile planned out! It'll feature all your most notable girls, plus many of my own.

The theme?
Isn't it obvious?
Onsen.
:D
Oh, I hope it can be fixed soon then, I was just worried cause I didn't see you for a long time and usually you're here almost everyday so it felt lonely
T
I'm not a car junkie, so I'll take your word for it. As for the vintage PIO caps, nah, you just gotta no which off-brands to buy around the $10-15 range! :D

I can't argue with your reasoning, that's what the extra cash is for!

We are very different in that regard, than. As long as it functions good, I'm cool with it. I mix shit with guitars to see the results. I will say that only suckers buy Gibson brand parts, outside of maybe the pickups (which are even more overpriced than they used to be!). When it comes to other things, like the boob one you mentioned, yeah, that's the sort of shit that'll irritate me. Like, right now, I'm battling an aliasing issue that has presented itself since NEO was installed, and it is a pain! -_-

lol, no worries, I appreciate thought out, longer responses!
Remember that request you made in regard of tentacles vs focus?
I just figured that part out so I'll be configuring the new and old stuff to suit your request.
T
OK, now I can confirm from doing a quick clean install (old is backed up) that Studio NEO has terrible aliasing for me. Period.
No mods were added, just everything up to NEO. I guess I'll just have to suck it up and deal with it, and hope that the next graphics patch fixes some of this.
I tried out using ReShade to force some SMAA or FXAA, but they left unwanted artifacts on edges and blurred in others.
T
I can't begin to tell you how many times I've opened the config files with Notepad++... so yes, it includes that.
The trick is changing the presets, themselves, which is how I added more saturation to the color. Those presets are pretty bland, in terms of color. I don't know why plasticmind feels the need for that.
If you want the original look of HS back, use the "Default" preset with your Config. But yeah, getting the main game and the Studio to look the same or similar is a different story.
My sweetie, I'm worried about you, are you okay? I miss you :(
T
Honestly, man, lol, all those prices sound like overspending/overkill! What else do you need that kind of power, for? A lot of Intel guys overclock their $200-300 CPUs and get great results. All I can say is that I'll never spend $500+ for a CPU; that's outrageous.

And why Intel/Nvidia? I'm fairly certain that the whole AMD+Radeon Vs. Intel+Nvidia combos was bullshit. I don't think it makes any difference if you mix the CPU/GPU combos, and like I said, that whole theory was debunked, years ago.
...Of course, I could just be reading too deeply into what you said, lol!
T
Other settings? Like what, the Shadows, SSR, etc.? I've tried many of those and nothing changed, if that's what you mean. And it's not ReShade, either, as I removed that to see if it'd fix it.
Your After Work Monday sounds like a solid plan, though on my part, I'm at a loss as to what to do.
I would be curious to see what Config settings you ended up with, as I wondered about doing that, too.
T
I just don't remember it ever being so bad in the old studio; even in the main game it seems lesser. It's just frustrating to see everyone else rejoicing about NEO and I'm over here struggling with a pathetic aliasing issue.
Just tried MSAA 16, and I didn't see any difference. Ugh.
Welp, sorry I gotta cut this short, but I need to jump off, now.
Talk lata, and thanks for the suggestion!
T
Oh, is that all it was?
Hmm... I'll give that a shot, though I do find it strange that I seem to be the only one noticing or complaining about such an issue.
T
Thanks for the rep! Yup, that's Simona on the left and Sylvia in the middle. Usually can't have one without the other!
T
Ooh, Kyla! :P And thanks for the new girl Zoey's card, as well!
Hmm... looking at your cards, I guess I'm not alone with the aliasing/quality issue going on with NEO, as I can see some major jaggies along the skin.
Happy to see you got that running, again, though I am curious how you got it workin'.

Ahh, a new cards project, eh? Looks like fun, I'll definitely be keeping my eyes on this!
Ugh, I hate to be such a negative nelly, but this whole NEO/quality issue has been driving me bonkers. I can't not notice the issues, and I end up ultimately doing nothing. : /
I solved the 4k, but it took me about 8-9 attempts doing so. Something went bad in my 32x and 64x folders over and over. If it wasn't the 4k refusing to work, it were a loopy-loop on start-up of NEO.
I can't really say if it is BA's fault or not, but things went sour after I installed it. I'm guessing on that it's relatively safe to install.
So yeah, 4k should work for HS and NEO, but not yet for BA.

No new H animations from what I could see, but quite a few new battle animations for various kind of weapons and without (punches and kicks), along with "dying" animations.
New animations you say? Are they H animations or normal ones? Were you able to figure out the 4K situation as well? I'm still hesitant on updating.
T
Oh, duh, wasn't expecting Battle Arena to already garner its own abbreviation. Yup, it's gotta be BA, then. I'm so tempted to install it, but again, your experience has left me weary of it.
Hmm, well, that's to be expected, since that still probably needs to be updated for this latest DLC. Not seeing what the contents are, yet, I can't make any judgment calls.

Rest your sleepy mush brain! Catch ya lata!
T
Wait, what's BA? The AdjustMod? Anyway, that is pretty strange.

Indeed... I should be ashamed of myself for that! I guess I got too caught up in the hilarity of her headsize to pan down and check out her giant rack! XD
T
No worries, I know how the sleep deprived brain turns to mush all too well.

NEO is in a loading loop? I remember other people saying that happened to them, but I can't remember why and what fixed it.

And, about that pic, jeez, did you Adjust Ki's boobs, too!? They're HUGE, lol!
T
You don't want cyberbeing's old version, unless you want to mess up your game.

It's SBX 2.5d, now, and you should use it! >_< And yes, you MUST use the test version of plasticmind's graphics patch, otherwise, again, you'll have issues.

Silly guy, why don't you just save all the outfits? That's what the feature is for! The nail polish I understand, though. Oh, and did you know that since the DLC update from a couple weeks ago that we could now save our Face and Body settings in the Maker? Very handy!
That's another way to save yourself the trouble of making so many cards for one character.

(Now replying to your latest post)

Oh, really? Didn't you get the latest version, too?
Oh wait, lol! Remember when you made that "ME SOOO ANGRY!!!" pic for me with Ki awhile back? I'll bet that's what it's from! XD

Well, glad to hear you got that fixed!

Anyway, here's that pack for you!

HS Stuff 4 Syncroz

Plus, I'm using these new face skin textures for some of my girls, now, so I'd grab this, too!

[0323] U43_Face_Skin_Mod

Oops, forgot the actual 4k skins! (That other link was for the Graphics Patch) It's from April, since he hasn't made any updates to them since, nor do I think he will, considering he's calling it "Final".
Just download the SBX2.5 version you see.
