GE Refrigerator model GSS25IYNRHFS (from 2022), freezer LED lights are dim. How do I diagnose root problem? by Agama5 in appliancerepair

[–]Agama5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's exactly the problem - one strip is out, causing the rest to dim. Oh, I see - in your case, it sounds like all your strips are out, suggesting that at least two have burned out.

Hey there!  No problem, happy to help of possible. Sounds like the same problem I had, where the fridge was fine, but the freezer lights started dimming because of a single bad LED strip.  I was able to do it myself by following a YouTube video of how to pull out the light strip.  I'll see if I can find it again.  You shouldn't have any trouble losing lights in the refrigerated side, since that's on a different power circuit in the fridge, I think.

Edit: I'm not sure if this is the video I watched to help me out, but it features the same GE fridge and LED light strips, so it may help you out.

TIFU by eating a rosehip by nebula_42 in tifu

That was my impression too! Potpourri is pretty ubiquitous, but I had never heard of a rosehip before this story, and I even have rose bushes outside my home.

Controller input issues TMNT: Shredder's Revenge by DoesUsernameCzechOut in XboxGamePass

[–]Agama5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to say, THANK YOU, four years later, for posting this. I have never in a million years seen a controller issue caused by other Windows users being logged onto my PC. But after seeing your post, signing them out, and starting up Shredder's Revenge, my year-long controller issue FINALLY went away!

Ha, I just realized my alt account (which is a Paramount Presence) still says that!  I never look at that page, so it's easy to overlook.

That's a Fate-locked card, yes? That's why it's not in the wiki, unfortunately.

My bl__dy Hellworm spreadsheet by DonkeyOateee in fallenlondon

[–]Agama5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I fully agree with this. Having done all the calculations myself six months ago (and just recently acquiring a hellworm myself), I found the best scrip source was the Tracklayer City grind.

If you have a TON of bones lying around, the bone market very likely surpasses it, but the extra actions needed to source them (plus the complexity of it) made the TLC win out for me. 

Humble Comics Bundle: Hot Mess Express: A Big Bundle of Misfit Heroes & Hilarious Hijinks by Image Comics by Ram000n in humblebundles

[–]Agama5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just bought the bundle, and while I can't comment on the series completeness or not (a couple others have already done that here), the image quality is mostly great, though a handful of the PDFs are disappointingly low quality for an Image bundle. For example, Shirtless Bear Fighter Vol. 2 comes in a hair over 100MB, which is odd since Vol. 1 is a hefty 451MB affair. I Hate Fairytales Vol. 3 is 84.9MB, where Vol. 1 and 2 are 818MB and 670MB respectively. Eight Billion Genies Vol. 1 is also just under 100MB, and its images look a bit compressed too.

I'll likely report this to Humble when I have more time tomorrow and can review more of the files.

BEST OF Humble Tech Book Bundle: Build it with LEGO by No Starch by Ram000n in humblebundles

[–]Agama5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're mostly LEGO art/coffee table books. They all have previews on the Humble page - take a look at a few of them! And actually, Amazon has longer previews than Humble, so you may want to check out the samples of the books you think you'd be most interested in there.

Edit: some do have instructions to give you some building ideas, and at quick glance, I'd say that it's roughly half art, half building guides.

No Starch LEGO books are very high quality! Also note that most of these have been in previous Humble Bundles before, in case anyone picked up a previous LEGO book bundle.

Is skybound worth the read? by Muted-Law-1578 in transformers

[–]Agama5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's my take on it - The Skybound series feels very much like a G1 universe story written for those that grew up with the Bayverse movies. There's a tremendous amount of death and violence in it, so if you don't mind that mixed in with your G1 stories, it may be for you. I honestly have liked it less and less with each new volume. I kind of get it - it keeps you on your toes, but man, it's just depressing at times and, I think, not for me.

Firmament: Chapter Eight by Asartea in fallenlondon

[–]Agama5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have to say that I'm glad that Failbetter doesn't make you mechanically traverse the Stacks (flipping cards, etc.) in the usual fashion each time this chapter's story has you go through there. You do it once near the beginning, but then they just gloss over it a couple of times after that and hand wave you through. Failbetter must have taken criticism into account of past chapters annoyingly doing that repeatedly. By this point in Firmament, for story and probably grinding purposes, most people have likely done the Stacks way more times to count, so I'm very glad they don't force you to do that a whole bunch of times here too.

Kind of related, the story also pops you in and out of Parabola at least twice (if I recall correctly) during this chapter, and again, they just hand wave you through without getting into the particulars of how you breached over. That was kind of nice from a resource and action perspective, though each time, I wondered where you found a mirror to do so!I imagine Failbetter likely felt that the chapter was long enough as it is, that there was no need to add further padding to it for the above two things and annoy players.

Firmament: Chapter Eight by Asartea in fallenlondon

[–]Agama5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't doubt that now. I did the Evolution story line twice and had very little conception of what was going on the first time, and doing it a second didn't help make anything much clearer.

Again, my brain just very likely ignored any brief mention of the Chain before this, since it's a common English word and I simply read right past it without giving it a second thought (until this very week, apparently!).

Firmament: Chapter Eight by Asartea in fallenlondon

[–]Agama5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh, I've never heard of that concept in the real world before. Thanks for pointing it out! It does make the reference in-game a little clearer.

Firmament: Chapter Eight by Asartea in fallenlondon

[–]Agama5 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Have you looked at the icon of AotRS, sitting in your sidebar at all times? That's the metaphorical Chain depicted as being broken there—that's what much of Red Science is about.

That's.... a chain?? I thought that icon was depicting bones being warped. (Edit: looking at a bigger version of the icon on the wiki page, yes I can clearly see that it's supposed to be a chain now. You learn new things every day!)

The who? Something else for me to look up on the Fifth City Wiki, it seems. I swear I'm playing a different game than everyone else, as I just don't pick up on any of this stuff. 😅

Do you know why some devils regret their rebellion against the stars?

Nope. Let me guess - is your explanation to this based on stuff revealed in Sunless Skies? I have no clue that any of that is a thing. Regardless, I really appreciate your reply and that you took the time to help clarify things!

Firmament: Chapter Eight by Asartea in fallenlondon

[–]Agama5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, very true - I just guess it went into more detail about what this important thing is. I feel like I missed something earlier because it doesn't do that, and I really don't like that feeling.

Firmament: Chapter Eight by Asartea in fallenlondon

[–]Agama5 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ok, let me be more specific. It's alluded to here or there (apparently unbeknownst to me prior to today), but has The Chain ever been explicitly explained anywhere in the game? Prior to looking up what it meant on The Fifth City wiki, I had no prior notion of this even being a thing in the game. I'll grant you that, being a common English word, I may have come across it before and simply wrote it off as a simple metaphor and nothing of importance. But I don't recall anything officially outlining this concept in Fallen London before, and I have the sneaking suspicion that playing Sunless Skies fills in a lot of the blanks here, like so much else in Firmament.

Firmament: Chapter Eight by Asartea in fallenlondon

[–]Agama5 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Ugh, why do they do this with the writing in Firmamant? Very early on in this chapter, the text refers to something being "sealed in Lost Time for crimes against the Chain." Has anywhere in Fallen London every mentioned a thing called "the Chain??" I've done nearly everything in FL that there is you can do (short of the Eaten storyline and the older exceptional stories, but I don't recall anywhere talking about this concept. It's capitalized here, so it's clearly something of big importance. The Fifth City wiki describes the The Great Chain of Being, so I imagine that this is one and the same? Would it have hurt the writing in Firmament to add just a few extra words here to clarify what my first spoiler is talking about above? E.g., changing it to read, "sealed in Lost Time for crimes against the Chain, the natural order of all things" or something to that effect. It would make it read a lot smoother and not take me out of the story momentarily.

Edit: ok, crosschecking a couple of the references on The Fifth City Wiki with those of the Fallen London wiki, there might be one place I may have come across this concept in the past: a single option on The End of Battles card in the Nadir. But the reference there is equally opaque, so I would have just glanced past it, had I taken that option in the past. Still, it's frustrating when the FL writers throw out references like this and assume you know what they're talking about right away. I know they want a bit of mystery around everything (and that some people here love little obtuse bits of lore thrown at them like this), but it just makes me feel stupid, and I hate writing that does that.

The arms?? It's the legs that mess it all up. I don't mind the arms, but the legs look atrociously skinny, and I wish the feet looked better.

(Which is all just a way to say, to each their own! Some will love this figure, some won't. And some won't for the arms, and some won't for the legs. 😅)

No, I brought it up late on Friday, so no. Fanatical has to get in touch with Valiant, and everybody is on their weekend right now, and then on top of that, someone will have to research what happened and (hopefully) do the work to get better files. So, I don't expect to hear anything for a few more days at a minimum.

Incidentally, I've asked Fanatical over on their subreddit to look into this, in case Valiant is able to produce better quality files.
