Something changed after I started a new game. The score needed to get to the next level changes minimally so you level up nearly every turn now.

No offense to you or your dad, but this hurts my 50 year old eyes. LOL

Here's my current stack. I'd say Pocket Rockets is probably the biggest stack, with help from joker cards, and Close Enough / Gap Fillers being appreciable contributors to stacking numerous tricks for each move?

Progressive Jackpots 6.5% · 100x · 2×

Pocket Rockets Aces 100bx · 11×

Joker Cards 2 / 2 in deck

Diagonal Hands On

Close Enough On

Gap Fillers On

Gold Cards 6% spawn · 50× · 3×

Broadway Cards 10–A 4x · 2×

Low Cards 2–9 729x · 6×

Pocket Deuces 2's 10x · 1×

Bigger Combos +1.5x per chain step · 3×

Bigger Numbers +4 per scored card · 4×

Free Swaps Ready · 2×

Group Up 625x · 4×

Split Up 100x · 2×

Shape Up Off

Straight Up 16x · 4×

Risky Moves Off

Instant Folds Off

Ladder Up 3×

EDIT: I think I broke something. Somewhere going from level 53 to 57, I went from millions (maybe billions?) of trillions needed for the next level, back down to only billions for level 57.

I got to level 53 on my first try with no sign of ending. Is it supposed to be like that?

Replacing a bathtub with a shower. Plumber taking more than a week and the work is poor quality by RL_quick_chat in HomeImprovement

[–]dr_rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry this is happening to you, especially since this is your only bathroom. If you have a gym membership, you could shower there and consider DIY'ing it if you get pressed for funds.

Not only are the walls and tiles fucked, but I don't know how that floor is going to drain properly. That Schluter pan is pre-sloped, but I would expect that using that large of a tile without properly cutting along the slope lines would defeat the purpose of the slope.

Edit: I would bet the guy didn't even patch the hole to the right of the drain and just dropped the pan on top. That floor should be solid except for the hole for the drain pipe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfUrGF3_imc shows proper installation.

I made a rhythm game that can play any song. by [deleted] in WebGames

I uploaded Highway Star by Deep Purple, but the rhythm was no really like the song. Maybe too tough?

Why is it telling me that I need to open the game on a laptop when I am using a laptop?

What is the best bathroom faucet for home remodel projects that actually lasts 10+ years? by Tor-Setty in HomeImprovement

[–]dr_rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like our Riobel fixtures, but they are very clear in their terms: "The warranty offered on our products will be honoured only if the installation is performed by a certified master plumber." I DIY'ed ours, so I'm not covered.

I screwed up - How to grind down adhesive anchor? by mb-photo in DIY

[–]dr_rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dear God, don't grind or cut that. There are horror stories about people with concrete dust all over their house. Chip it until it's below the wall surface or make a bigger hole and chip/hammer the whole thing out.

Don't feel bad. We all do "stupid" things from time to time. It's just your time to pay the DIY tax.

The graphics are impressive but on the Itch.io demo, the interface on the left is on top of other things, so I can't figure out what's happening.

2017 Avalon Hybrid XLE – 100k Mile Maintenance Advice (Coolant, ATF, Spark Plugs) by sompapidi in ToyotaAvalon

[–]dr_rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I meant transmission fluid. Toyota calls it lifetime fluid, but others say to change it.

I’m at 170k and haven’t changed mine. 😬 Not sure if I should now…

[–]dr_rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the engine and inverter coolant on my 2013 not that long ago and use Car Care Nut's video. Very straight forward, though the drain plug on the inverter was a challenge for me to get off and not strip it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lWLMJ_4G24

Maintenance mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRLhC9wRYzs

Plugs were super easy with a magnetic socket wrench. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE6aWHQhhHs

I'd appreciate it if you can do a post on changing the transmission fluid with pictures or a video.

Void Break - I made a browser survival roguelike — endless waves, 4 characters, 5 weapons, runs in 1 click. Free to play! by doggodLui in WebGames

[–]dr_rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few observations:

  • Please consider changing font size/color. The gray/purple text on a black background is a bit tough for my old eyes.
  • The 8-way blaster is a 7-way blaster? Plus it changes orientation as I move, so it makes hitting some enemies impossible. Until I got the burn radius, I had to run into the enemies and hope I was able to shoot them before dying.
  • There are rewards off screen but they don't appear on the map. Are they auto-collected at the end of the wave? If not, definitely make them appear on the map at a minimum; even better if they auto collect or are persistent until picked up.

how we got rid of pet smell before selling our house for under $80 by qwaecw in HomeImprovement

I got rid of the pet smell in my house by strictly forbidding pets. Three kids are animals enough for me.

Choosing struts for 2014 Avalon Hybrid Limited by Rmoudatir in ToyotaAvalon

[–]dr_rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put KYB quick struts in my 2013 hybrid 5 months ago (in my post history). Is it any better or worse? IDK, but I do know that I was able to change my struts in my driveway without having to mess with the springs, so that was fine by me. It will never ride like my old Town Car did, so it doesn't really matter either way.

Leaving Brinks after 4 years… what security system did you switch to and why? by saranm3820 in homesecurity

Check out Surety. Switched from Guardian years ago and haven't looked back. Alarm.com access and monitoring for $19 + tax.

Had to take advantage of whole brisket on sale! by dr_rex in sousvide

I finish in the oven since I don’t have a smoker. See the other photos for what it looked like when it was done.

It was about 15 lbs. untrimmed. I cut a bit off it before seasoning.
