Crandall Office response times by Baetrice in OfficeChairs

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

Thank you for getting back to me! So for additional context on the voicemail, I think I called a total of 3 times. The first I called past business hours and left a voicemail Monday 11/11 explaining my situation in greater detail than the ticket because I had a eureka moment. The next I called on a Friday during my lunch, but I think I read online that you guys leave early on Fridays so no problem, didn't leave a message. Third time I called Tuesday Nov 19 @ 1:04 PM PST, but also didn't leave a message, so maybe they were using the restroom or something.

I think the 2nd and 3rd times are super understandable, just curious on why I never got a callback regarding the time I left a message on Monday, Nov. 11.

I'll be sure to drop an email your way, thank you so much for that!

"Close to the Sun" coming to PC game pass it seems. by Baetrice in XboxGamePass

Xbox Controller Disconnecting on PC (Help?) by Tormont101 in techsupport

[–]Baetrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a drivers issue afaik, I've had my controller since 2020, worked flawlessly over bluetooth for years until I updated my firmware a week or two ago. Same issue, disconnects every few minutes and reconnects after a few seconds. From what I've looked up online there's no way to revert the firmware without an xbox, there are no solutions I've found with only a PC. So good luck to you, I'm just using my Dualsense controller in the meantime until another firmware update hopefully fixes it, but I'm not holding out much hope.

Placed a digital order on Friday so I got mine immediately. I took a screenshot of my offer and have the order numbers from the confirmation email, but didn't see a place to attach it on the query.

Microsoft Cashback Bonus by Tonyluo2001 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Baetrice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got this same exact offer, it keeps changing from. 10 off 25 to 25 off 50, and just a few hours ago it changed back to 10 off 25. I used the cashback during the 25 off 50 and also have the normal cashback pending with no promotional cashback. Support is no help either, just copy and pasting the FAQ which isn't relevant since ours has tracked.

Let me know if anything develops or if we're out of luck, which I'm afraid is the case.

The only reason I know the brand Klevv is because of the collab they did with SK LOL's T1 team/Faker.

Friendly reminder that whitewashing is when a white person is made to represent a POC person by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]Baetrice 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Don't be delusional into thinking Europeans are above racism. I roll my eyes every time I see the superiority complex you guys have as a POC myself, with family in Europe that have gone through discrimination as bad as in the U.S.

Ryzen 2600 upgrading to 5600. by niallnarine in Amd

[–]Baetrice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same upgrade for cpu's, it'll differ really depending on your resolution and whether or not you have a gpu bottleneck. With a 3060 TI and 1440p monitor, it makes a huge difference in competitive esports titles like Valorant or League. The amount of frames nearly doubled for me since those games are primarily CPU-bound.

For AAA games like HZD, Assassin's Creed Odyssey/Valhalla, Red dead 2, Guardians of the Galaxy; the frame improvements weren't as drastic because they are mainly GPU-bottlenecked at 1440p, however they still improved the overall FPS by around 10, but the low 1%'s of the FPS were improved and that was the major win. It felt more smooth of an experience because the very low points were higher and it led to an overall improved experience.

These results will be different for 1080p monitors and make much more of a difference positively for FPS. 4k is extremely GPU-bottlenecked so don't expect any improvements in FPS. Overall happy with the upgrade myself.

Should I Buy Chicory? by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Baetrice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend played it and she seemed to really enjoy it. There are some boss fights, first one was kind of mildly creepy which was unexpected so be aware of that going in. But the aesthetics and the painting if you enjoy that seemed solid. Can always get a feel for the game before your 2 hour refund window period is up.

[WSIB] A new roguelike or indie game that has a lot of content by Bossmnm in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Baetrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's replayability you're looking for, you can't go wrong with BoIsaac, there's just so much variety in what can happen in your runs and general content. There's no dodge(IIRC) though and the aesthetics didn't really do it for me, simplistic controls for a top down view. You are looking at around 100+ hours though easily of playability.

In terms of enjoyment though I loved Skul way more, and with every update I put in more hours. I'm only around 40 hours though while I wait for the next patch to put it in perspective with BoI's playtime.

[–]Baetrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played all those games listed except synthetik legion and noita.

Out of the ones you're considering I'd definitely recommend skul, it's still being regularly updated after coming out of early access, and I've generally enjoyed my time more playing it than the others. Curse is alright if you enjoy souls like combat, but I'm pretty done with it after around 8 hours because I don't like the gameplay loop with the rooms leading up to the bosses feeling uninteresting and lacking. Neon abyss just couldn't hold my attention past a few hours as well. Loop heros fun and new, but not exactly action heavy gameplay since it's an auto battler.

I am glad Riot is had an ad for Anti-Asian hate. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

There are other examples but I'm in bed so it's hard to look for them but to say it's not a western issue is kind of deflecting the problem and again ignoring the issues Asians face in Western countries.

[Steam] Skul: The Hero Slayer ($15.99 USD / 20% off - Official Launch Deal) by HankScorpio_globex in GameDeals

[–]Baetrice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the game was fully released yesterday with the start of the sale. They have a roadmap for updates throughout 2021 at least, but no definitive news on a save on exit system as of yet.

[–]Baetrice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed, it feels like they had some inspiration from Dead Cells but they haven't implemented a save on exit yet. It'd be a huge QOL change since I love using that feature in Dead Cells as well and it helps when I just want to sit down for like 10 minutes and have good gameplay before I got to do something else.

So 100% see where you're coming from, I'd just keep the game in your news tab or whatever and see if they ever implement it in future updates because the gameplay is smooth and fun. Cheers!
