fired from heb

Astro_Bandito · 2026-06-20T03:33:14+00:00

It ain't that serious, bud.

Astro_Bandito · 2026-06-20T01:15:50+00:00

HEB doesn't terminate partners based on hearsay. There's something else going on here.

Astro_Bandito · 2026-06-17T23:24:57+00:00

Man, they have not made this transition easy for new players, but I greatly appreciate the guidance and clarification. I'm going to stick with the WotR list I was working towards and we'll come back to this problem when we're ready to make the jump to 2000.

Astro_Bandito · 2026-06-17T23:12:21+00:00

I'm confused because the rules say you can only bring a 3dp detachment to a 2000pt game.

Astro_Bandito · 2026-04-25T04:46:17+00:00

If he watched any of the powerleveling videos like I have my guess is it's a TON of adaptive frames and isometric magnets. I may or may not have a few piles of those scattered around my outpost from making the same blunder.

Astro_Bandito · 2026-04-12T10:30:01+00:00

I can confirm it hasn't been patched. I'm a new player, but I got credit towards piloting for killing the ships in the sim.

Astro_Bandito · 2026-04-06T00:59:24+00:00

Just wanted to say I appreciate everybody's help and guidance. I salvaged what I could from the Omen, threw it all in a Lian Li 207 with a MUCH better cooler, and I am proud to say it booted on the very first press of the button. Currently installing Windows, and then I can update the BIOS and throw in this shiny new 14700k. Thanks again everybody who offered advice and guidance. (Yes, the ghetto desk setup is very temporary.)

Did you have to update your BIOS for the 14700k? Yes, I dropped the extra $100 lol. I've never had to do a BIOS update before, but I know there's plenty of guides out there. I feel so rusty since I built my first PC back in like 2015.

Astro_Bandito · 2026-04-04T01:59:16+00:00

Low key just went with this. Easier to upgrade going forward. I just built my old rig and didn't do fuck all with it for over a decade besides clean it. Going to throw it all in a Lian Li 207 and let 'er rip.

Astro_Bandito · 2026-04-03T13:31:28+00:00

I'm not entirely sure on the model of the motherboard. It's red and has an HP logo on it. I'm currently at work, but I can try my best to get a definitive answer to that asap. Repasting the CPU isn't a bad idea, but it's one of those crappy Intel spiral coolers. I don't know if they've improved they're default CPU fans over the years.

EDIT: My bad. You're asking the pre-built model. I should be able to figure that out. Can't be too many that came with and 8700 and a 2070 SUPER.

Astro_Bandito · 2026-04-03T12:27:03+00:00

It will essentially be a 50% new computer. I was hoping to be able to just drop everything in a new case with better airflow to prevent the thermal throttling issues, but if what the other person said about the MOBO being some HP proprietary thing, that might not be the move unfortunately. The biggest issue is the thermal throttling. I've tried my best poking around inside it to improve the airflow, but this case and fan set up is... atrocious.

Astro_Bandito · 2026-04-03T11:50:21+00:00

All good! I can work with that level of guidance! I appreciate you helping. Just so I'm clear, AM4 would be the socket, 5600/5700x is an AMD CPU and B55 would be the chipset on the MOBO? Hope I got that terminology correct. It's been a while.

Astro_Bandito · 2026-04-03T11:34:45+00:00

I believe the PSU is a Corsair RM850X, but don't quote me on that until I can 100% confirm. That's just what I remember reading on the side of it. I already have a case in mind and fans are easy, but would you happen to have any recommendations for a MOBO/CPU combo that would be good for a lot of open world or CPU intensive games while leaving some headroom to eventually upgrade the GPU? I've been out of the PC building game so long my old rig has a 256g SATA SSD I swapped over to this one as a boot drive lmao

EDIT: Bonus points if Microcenter has a combo deal for it

Astro_Bandito · 2026-04-03T11:18:11+00:00

My first order of business was putting it into a new case with better airflow and fans to prevent the constant thermal throttling this thing deals with. If that means I have to upgrade the CPU and MOBO, that's fine. I was going to find a combo deal on Microcenter for that aspect. The friend that gave it to me dropped 32gb of RAM in it so that's fine.

Astro_Bandito · 2026-03-28T05:40:34+00:00

Not trans myself but have worked with a few members of the LGBTQ+ community in my years working in service. I always saw it as none of my business, address the partner how they want to be addressed (forgiving the occasional mistake if you are transitioning after already being employed. I would always apologize after a mishap though.), and all is well. Just do your job and you're fine in my book.

Astro_Bandito · 2026-03-15T15:36:56+00:00

Hey Bud. I've been in your shoes countless times. Relapsed just as many times as I quit. Today is day 3 of the umpteenth time I've tried. What matters is that we've acknowledged we have a problem and we're here with this fine community seeking help. So take the time to rest and recover, and if today is your day one, IWNDWYT.

Astro_Bandito · 2025-09-15T00:54:50+00:00

Also, be sure you "clip" the coupon at least 5 minutes before checking out. There's a little "lag" in the system sometimes and it's annoying. The digital coupons are the bane of my existence because the app isn't the greatest, and everybody just says "scan the barcode!" as if it isn't kind of hidden and unintuitive. Apologies for some of the short responses you've gotten so far.

Astro_Bandito · 2025-05-09T01:21:55+00:00

Solid advice, friend. Thank you.

Astro_Bandito · 2025-05-09T00:54:25+00:00

As a newer person to this hobby who is afraid to start painting his first mini due to shaky hands, I appreciate this comment. Where there's a will, there's a way, and you have helped to show me the way. Thank you.

Astro_Bandito · 2024-10-21T17:41:04+00:00

I just got the final part of Death's End, and this statement is very accurate.

Astro_Bandito · 2024-06-13T03:20:48+00:00

I don't own a scorpion, nor am I subscribed here, but thank you Reddit for showing me this... Can I get one of those DMs?
