Yes, Damage over Time was supposed to have its own VFX but it never triggered until now. All kinds of missing FX have been restored.

I'll prob just get the RCA converter and continue pondering.

Then welcome home!

Hah I'm not exactly new. It's just been a while since I was around. I randomly bumped into r00ster on Path of Exile and thought I'd go play some Sacred 2 while I wait for the new league, but thank you

The only question would be what quality sound you'll get. Your setup would be video device => TV => receiver and the last step I think (would need to double check this) needs to be over optical audio cable which is limited in the audio formats it can transmit - it can do multichannel audio formats, just not lossless formats or Dolby Atmos / DTS X if they're a must have for you although if your receiver cant do 4k it likely can't do the latter?

Oh yes, yes they do...you can either go with a cable or with an adapter box. Amazon has many to choose from. I don't mind Black Fridays as much as I used to. My daughter's birthday is on Nov 30th and I always had some last minute shopping to do. The aggravation is mostly from lack of parking, because I refuse to camp out for several hours before the stores open to find a spot. But now that my local mall has reserved parking spots for veterans, I went and got a 'Veterans license plate'. And I think only one time all the spots were filled when I went there. I was told I could qualify for a handicapped plate with my back issues I have, but if I can climb up to the top of water tanks, I think I can handle walking into the mall from any parking spot so I have never got one.

Not to try and talk you into spending money or anything, but pretty much all TV's have built in tuners these days (admittedly this is my experience in Australia so I will be the first to admit this may not be true in the US). Also, while your receiver may not do 4k passthrough, a new TV may have apps built in for 4k streaming (e.g. Netflix) which will output audio to your receiver and some of the first 4k bluray players come with two HDMI out connections - one for video to the TV and a second for audio to older receivers like yours which are not capable of 4k passthough. Not sure about the VCR though - if it doesn't connect to your receiver then a new TV may come with RCA connections, but it's definitely a legacy connector at this point so maybe (probably?) not. Although if you kept the old TV you could leave the VCR with it? Haha don't let me talk you into anything, I'm a fan of my big TV's so I'm probably a little bias on this topic!

gogo In my mind, Black Friday shopping means: Loonies sleeping on the sidewalk in front of Best Buy in near freezing temperatures hoping to get one of the while supplies last, limited quantity, no raincheck, first-come first-served deals. Idiots getting in fist fights over the last Tickle-Me Elmo, or whatever fad it is this year. I was thinking about trying to get a bigger TV this holiday season, but it seems like too big a hassle. My current receiver doesn't do 4k. A new TV would prob need an external tuner. My VCR only supports RCA. I did order a classic computer science book online on Friday.

Not because of Black Friday (not really a thing here): Bought today a set of 4 WINBAG pump wedges. A plastic bag which can be filled with air to lift 300 pounds of weight. I needed it to repair some old roof doors (stopping cold air below the doors) where there is no room for a second person to help. You can put them in a gap of 2 millimetres and pump them up. Needed 4: two to lift in a straight way and two to the sides to make a 90 degree mount My wife watched it and asked for them for glueing some self made decorations for the winter time. @Flix Yesterday: a Waldzither (forest cither) for our third. Not many people were interested in it at a garage sale. Bet most weren't knewing what it is. Some said a strange banjo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldzither if you want to know how it sounds: https://www.youtube.ru/watch?v=rWhRtBrU0hc
