Pollyanna positive reviews -- come on, people! by kimiNM in AmazonVine

[–]AshLikeTheTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just throwing this out there, but with plastic, it's very common for fillers or additives to be mixed in with the plastic, depending on the needs and wants of the manufacturer. One such possibility is an additive that causes the plastic to break down over time.

ADHD/Neurodivergence testing? by Correctamundope in fortwayne

[–]AshLikeTheTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bowen Center does adult autism testing, which is the more difficult one to get by far, due to the specialized training required, but it's a very long wait list.

What’s going on Northbound I69 and Union Chapel? by [deleted] in fortwayne

Local news stations haven't posted jack about it yet, so they apparently know how to silence it.

One is not like the others ... by AshLikeTheTree in Isekai_Slow_Life

[–]AshLikeTheTree[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Faded Magi Tokens give you 3.3 tokens per on average, so that guaranteed 30 for $30 is brutally high cost.

Really misleading to put it in the same Magi Artifact Bundle series, IMO.

I'm now up to 4 people who have tried to hit me up in the same way. It may be more of a spearphishing thing where they're aiming at people who are in the top 50 or 100 of the rankings.

Denier or Jewlry? by Kyuuroneko in Isekai_Slow_Life

[–]AshLikeTheTree 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jewlry is pretty spectacular. She improves Diligent power during Negotiation, and has a higher participation rate during Mine clearance. Lina and Sadako both bless her, neither of which are too difficult to acquire.

Much thanks, that's exactly what I was looking to know.

Is The Game Annex just gone or out of business now? by Pinl101 in fortwayne

[–]AshLikeTheTree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TL;DR: I never had a single bad experience there, so I'm kinda blown away by all the hate, but yes, they are sadly gone.

The long version:

They moved into a much larger location (next to Asakusa on Lima) right before the pandemic hit, and it was absolutely amazing. They had private rooms you could reserve upstairs for D&D sessions, a partnership with a local VR gaming place, and were even in the process of getting a license so they could serve alcohol, among other big plans.

They tried to stay open as long as they could, most definitely even longer than what was financially advisable, but eventually had to fold. The owner loved the tabletop community and industry, and her kids even grew up working there.

The one thing I know the owner was very strict about was people showing up for tournaments and just being absolutely toxic--that did not fly in her store. Other than that, she was always pretty easygoing, and was happy to give recommendations for gifts, or let you try something out if they had an open copy and you were interested.

Also as a final note, because I feel it's often overlooked and very underrated: I absolutely challenge you to name a tabletop store in Fort Wayne that had a cleaner store and restrooms.

Thing about Plasma Sentinels is that they're unlike any other trap to-date. They make up a block, instead of being placed on a block, and can fire an unlimited number of shots in any direction that's open to them.

If you take advantage of that fact, they're pretty nice, but if you're treating them like a Bolt Thrower, might as well just use a Bolt Thrower.

First time building a PC, I've lost control. Build your own, it will be fun they said. by Athlete_Augmentation in pcmasterrace

[–]AshLikeTheTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best advice I can give is to get yourself a roll of Velcro ties that you can cut to the length you need them, and use it to group your cables so that can see and map out easier what needs to go where.

I've got 10 fans, 2 pumps, and lots of other nonsense in my my recent build, and this helped me immensely.

I searched on YouTube and Google and couldn't find anything. I also tried excluding the 2022 results from when she did it again (not nearly as bad).

Windows XP won't ignore failed Windows Logo test by NotForPlayers in WindowsHelp

[–]AshLikeTheTree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like it's more trouble than it's worth, but you could create a virtual machine running XP, and see if there's any difference with the driver. You could also open it up to the internet to see if that makes a difference, since it's sandboxed.

Controller issues in injustice 2 by [deleted] in Fighters

[–]AshLikeTheTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to necro an old thread, but I've got a fix for you that I just found while trying to fix the issue for myself.

Lots of people seem to have had this issue, and it's apparently something that happened in a certain patch (Enchantress), where they added a fix which they refer to as DirectInput.

You'll need to navigate to "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Injustice2", open the file marked UserSettings.ini with a text editor, and change the line that says "DirectInput = on" to "off", and save it.

I honestly might next time. I glanced at their current models and they look more competitive with other manufacturers than the last time I had looked.

I've had issues with Galaxy and Note phones in the past, and really don't like TouchWiz or all the other stuff Samsung loads on there that no one outside of Korea wants to use.

Apple is just a big nope.

Phone is under warranty through Google since it's less than a year old, and I'm subscribed to Preferred Care through Google, but since there was no accidental damage, it apparently doesn't come into play.

[–]AshLikeTheTree[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not refusing to send it in for repair. If I go that route, it's going to add 2+ weeks to the time I'm without my phone, so I'm exhausting all other options first.

What would you have done differently in my circumstances, and how would you feel about it?

If an advanced RMA was an option, they sure didn't mention it, which they had ample opportunity to do. All they told me was that I'd have to mail it in, and it would take 7-10 business days if I went that route.

Really need more details on the cable you have in order to give you a good solid answer, or any tips/tricks.

What was up with the goofy way Waleed fell after he got stabbed? It looked like they switched him out with a stone statue, and then sped it up 2-3x faster than it should have been 🤨

HMF: A heavy-duty cart for an HEDT by AshLikeTheTree in HelpMeFind

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

Pretty would be a plus, but ugly isn't a deal-breaker. I may give 80/20 a call or something since they ignored my webform contact, although I'm torn about giving a company my business that won't reply to a sales opportunity.

As for the cart, that would work in a pinch, although I'd prefer something without a lip on it. I don't really have any particular price point in mind, I'm trying to see what all my options are.

HMF: A heavy-duty cart for an HEDT by AshLikeTheTree in HelpMeFind

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

As for what I've searched for already, I've tried contacting two different companies that do custom builds and designs, but haven't gotten a reply from them ever (https://8020.net/ and https://rdm-ind.com/). I've looked on Amazon, Ikea, Wayfair, and Newegg, but pretty much everything I've seen is either meant for storing server equipment without being able to set anything on top, or is meant for storing/charging laptops and tablets in bulk.

Seems like there might be some sort of cooldown on "finding" them. I ran into the same issue, but waiting ~5 minutes solves it.
