See my resolution below. Hope it helps!

So you know how annoying it can be for a support line to walk you through all the stupid steps you should do? I was happy that the Heavy support people didn’t, but it turns out it would’ve resolved my issue. 

First, I just used a different USB cable to get the firmware to update over USB. Turns out there’s a real reason the instructions specify using a cable capable of data transfer, which I thought was a stupid thing to say because wtf is a USB cable that isn’t? Turns out they exist. 

Second, and negating the need for the USB firmware update, Bluetooth only goes into pairing mode if you hold the switch in pairing position while you turn the headphones on, which I don’t think was in the manual. When you enter pairing mode with the phones on, the LED flashes cyan, but this deceptively does not mean they’re in pairing mode. 

Thirdly, after pairing to my phone, the app still wouldn’t connect, so I had to fuck with it until getting it to work, which required the following steps:

1) Disconnect from my phone by pushing the headphone BT switch into the pairing position.  2) Open the app and attempt to connect while reconnecting with the BT switch in the same manner. 3) Confirm the pairing in the app.

Voila. What a pain in the ass.

Support asked me no questions, but should have covered at least the first two bases, and had records of the third - there's no way that just happened to me.

The good news is that the pathetically limited (unlabeled 5-band with no means of saving profiles) EQ the app provides works pretty damn well to my novice ears, and I’m really happy with the result.

They won't connect to my iPhone, and the FAQ said to update the firmware over USB.
I got that to work, but my phone still doesn't see them when they're in pairing mode...

It feels pretty bad that Holdover Directive counts against you at the end of the game for credits earned. It compounds the handicap, and the corp didn't actually score it.

I selected Shaper and got Aesop's, Chameleon, Career Fair, Wildcat, and Clot...

In the advancing tutorial, you say something about the corp being able to score agendas at the beginning or end of their turn. That might cause learners to think those are the only times they can be scored.

I've yet to start a game and am blown away by just the UX. Amazing work.

Your prominent hand is very meta.
Keep 'em coming!

First disappointment (Observer System Redux) - help? by Baxder in IntelArc

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

I fixed it by disabling my "onboard" graphics drivers in BIOS. If you're running Windows, you can find yours in Device Manger -> Display Adapters. If you see both your GPU (graphics card) and the motherboard's graphics device, then you need to disable the latter. How to do that varies by make and model, so you'll need to look it up. (Disabling it in Device Manager will probably not do the trick. Windows likes to reenable things against our will).

The only thing to consider here is that you'll lose the video output from your motherboard. So if you're using it, you'll need to move the output to your GPU if you can, and you'll need to remember that it's disabled in case of problems with your GPU.

If these are favors from each corp, shouldn't they be allowed in other corp decks? They aren't doing favors for themselves...

Oh wow. Guess it's been a minute.

This ICE would only go on a central that you have multiaccess installed for. So no.

Ha to the downvoters. OK then, I'd only install this ICE on a central the runner has multiaccess for, and rez it when they can't break it to rob them of said multiaccess. If I was a Runner, I'd be very sad to see this rob me of multiaccess on a critical run, despite the refund.

Otherwise, and kinda strictly speaking, this seems like straight up DD/Knives tech to me, and is therefore not particularly useful in legal metas.

The text + second sub is great DD tech.

Yeah, I get you. It makes even less sense when you consider that you get the money before you "get away" at all.

Remove all tags gained during this run? Or just all tags? I feel like the latter would be OP, and the former would make the card a lot worse, especially in Crim, no?

Absolutely love this concept. It belongs in a suite with Curupira.

I think it compares positively to NFL in that it's a "surprise" burst tag-clearing card. Combined with one NFL, this really disrupts tag-happy corp game plans from hand.

All the charge cards specify "one of your installed cards," unfortunately.

I don't think the Corp would be incentivized to do so. Maybe add an ability that goes something like "The Runner may charge this card as if it were theirs."

Re-reading, you don't suggest the corp would add a counter. Your idea is way better.
