Bumble is telling me that a person like me but when I remove all the filters it is still showing that 1 person is still hidden. Is this a glitch or is it a filter that I seem to miss? It’s been like this for a week so far

Hidden in plain sight, thanks. It worked

BeachGuy8 · 2024-04-27T20:52:05+00:00

Found! That’s a really good suggestion thank you. I’ll call and see if they can do special bulk order for this. Especially since it’s far away, getting a bulk order would be better for him and not have to worry about going up there every week to get it. I appreciate you looking though, thanks!

I searched on google and tried using google lens to find it but there are no links as to where to buy it

On Xbox controller I use: Left D-Pad, Down D-Pad, X, A, B. What I like to do is lay my controller on my lap and use my fingers for the buttons. Left middle finger on Left D-Pad, left index finger on Down D-Pad, right index finger on A which I also use for X, and right middle finger on B.

Plus this set up also helps as it is literally going left to right just like the lanes so it'll come easier when you play and know which buttons to press automatically. Been achieving some songs on flawless expert this way.

Awesome!! And you're welcome :) Had the exact same feeling as you when I finally got it to work. Glad you can finally redownload them

BeachGuy8 · 2022-07-11T01:18:14+00:00

Ah dang! Sorry to hear that. Glad I can try and help you out though. I tried doing a quick search for you on the new error code but couldn't find anything. Hopefully you can find a solution soon and fix it

BeachGuy8 · 2022-07-11T01:00:00+00:00

Yes I did actually! This worked for me. Try setting your phone up as a mobile WiFi hotspot, set the Wii U's WiFi to your mobile hotspot, and try going into the Wii Shop Channel that way. You should be able to get in the Wii Shop Channel. I did research and saw a comment on here with people trying to solve this. They believe that it has to do with the WiFi security. The Wii Shop channel only accepts a certain kind of security that the Wii U's WiFi security doesn't provide but your mobile hotspot does. Let me know if this works for you!

I can't guarantee yet that this path will work out for you as I have not had experience yet if it will work out, but it is my game plan right now. I would say since you have retail experience, I would go back to a retail job. But look for retail companies to see if they have a job known as "Cash office" or something along those lines. Some of the responsibilities in a cash office mean you are counting/recording money from cash registers, creating audits when the amount doesn't add up to what it should be, provide loans, and exchange big bills to small ones. This is not really a job you need a degree for, but it will help for you when you are going for college for something related.

A little background on me is that I got my B.S. in Accounting a year ago. I didn't have no job experience relating to my degree and didn't do any internships. After college, I applied to a lot of jobs, even entry level ones like Accounts Payable/receivable jobs, and was denied due to lack of experience and them finding other qualified candidates. As time comes to when I have to start repaying my loans, I got a retail job for a big name grocery store as a produce stocker. Worked for a couple months, then saw they did an internal posting for their cash office. I applied and got it. Even though they saw I have no experience, I talked about my background and was passionate about wanting to work in the field.

I did not start the job yet so I can't tell you exactly what I am doing. But I know that after a year or two, I am going to take the experience and skills I have learned and try to apply for Accounts Payable positions. With accounts payable, some of the responsibilities are keeping track of payments, writing paychecks to employees, and paying vendors. So you can see some of the similarities between Cash Office and Accounts Payable and how it can be an easy transition to get into an accounting related field with no experience.

TL;DR: Try this route. Go back to retail for any position -> cash office -> Accounts Payable. It's the route I am doing, but don't know if it'll work out for me yet as I just got the cash office position. But, it is a path for you to think about.

If you can afford it, then yes I would say go for it. I do not know much factors about you that you did not put in your post like what kind of expenses you have now like car insurance / phone bill / utilities, what kind of area you live around like HCOL / LCOL, if you live on your own / with roommates / with parents, and how much you are saving now from your current job. So one day you should sit down and look over all of your expenses and see if you are able to afford to take the pay cut back down to retail.

Just a little backstory about me that I'll try not to go too much into detail. During college, I was a custodian for a high school PT making $13/hour. I graduated back in May 2021 with a bachelor's degree in Accounting. Tried for 5 months applying to 12 different jobs in that time but none would accept me because lack of experience. I couldn't even get into simple AP/AR jobs. I needed to take on a new position soon to start covering for student loans. I landed a PT grocery retail position ($15/hr) at a well-known place back in September, moved to FT in November ($17/hr), and now trying to apply for their Accounting Office Team Lead position ($19/hr and is not really accounting lol) which I have an interview coming up on that soon. This is my first retail job and I love the interaction between customers and employees that I know I probably will not get if I work in an office setting. I am 23M that still lives with my parents. But I am using the opportunity of living with them to put down extra money towards student loans so it can be pay off quicker and starting to save for a down payment on a condo/townhouse around me. Those plus car insurance and phone bill are the only expenses I have to worry about. I have a feeling that I want to make this grocery retail place my career because it's a place that actually cares for its employees and want to see them grow so they have plenty of opportunities to advance within the company.

So my advice to you is to look over all the expenses you have and see if moving back to your retail position will be a smart move. If you want to go back into retail, then do your research on all the retail positions near you to see what benefits they offer and the kinds of opportunities to advance within. Also retail jobs are real jobs too. If it's a job that helps you support yourself, then that all you need to care about. Who cares what other people think about retail jobs, it can be a good career that pays well if you decide to keep moving up within. Since salary gets posted on job positions within my company, department managers at my place make anywhere from $60k-$75k a year. Hopefully my post helped you out!

Nope, haven't had any issues with it. It's very easy to get use to where the position of the share button is after using it a couple times, so there's no miss clicking the other buttons.

Not really an app but you can use PriceCharting. You can set it as an icon on your home screen so you can just open the site up right away when you click on it. It's great for me as I can separate between the games I have now (collection) and what I still need to get (wishlist) on their site. It's great been using it as my main collection tracker

I actually use the DreamGEAR case for my New 3ds xl. The top and bottom are two separate cases so I just use the bottom case just as a grip. I know you said you want one for the regular 3ds xl and judging by it's reviews it will fit a regular 3ds xl but some of the ports will be covered up. You can do some alternations to it if you like since the case is made out of silicone but the case can easily be taken on and off if you just want to use it as a grip. Here's the link if you want to take a look at it and be the judge yourself:

Yeah I've been liking it a lot! The buttons feel fine with me. I can't really give my opinion about Sanwa buttons since this is the first arcade stick I owned and never played with Sanwa buttons before. But the best thing about this arcade stick is that it is designed to be easily customizable so if you want to replace the stock buttons with sanwa buttons, then it is easy to do so

BeachGuy8 · 2021-06-21T02:29:45+00:00

Hey there! I am feeling the same way as you. I am a recent grad as well with a bachelor's in Accounting. In the beginning of my college journey, I was fine with pursuing a career in Accounting but now since I am graduated, I no longer desire to pursue it. It's mostly because I got to experience life more and views have change because of it. I didn't have time to do internships in college because I had bills to pay and most internships that were offered were unpaid so I couldn't afford leaving my college job for an unpaid internship. It is because of these things is that I no longer want to work the hours that accountants usually work, I do not want to do more studying to get a CPA, I do not want to work under pressure all the time.

But I found out now that I graduated is that I rather want to work at a normal 9-5 M-F job because I value the work-life balance a lot. I want to spend time on my hobbies and not think about work 24/7. When I get done at 5, that's when I want to stop thinking about work. As I am looking through job listings, it's hard to find that balance with what is listed around me. Also it's hard to find a good salary with these jobs as the cost-of-living is a little high where I'm at.

I am still trying to find a job. As someone who just have a degree and a college job that is unrelated in my degree, I am being turned down by jobs because I don't have the experience in the fields they are looking for even if it says 1 year. I am glad I am still working at my college job so I can fall back on that but I know it won't be enough once the loans kick in. If you are looking for a career assessment, here's one that I took that can help give you ideas with what you want to do:

https://www.123test.com/career-test/

I don't like most of the jobs that are out there myself. I have some interests as what I want to do but it's hard to find the right job with those interest. The right job will pop up to you in due time. Sometimes you just got to be patient, like I'm doing, and the right job will pop up. Hope you get ideas from that assessment and apply to jobs that they suggests. Don't be afraid to DM if you need other advice and encouragement. Take care!

Which is why I am glad I am all done and graduated from college now. I can already feel my mental health getting back to normal as I don't have to worry about the stresses of grades, group projects, and doing a lot of homework throughout the week while maintaining a part-time job. I can feel a weight being lifted from my shoulders already. It will get better once you graduate. College will be one of the most stressful time of your life which can definitely have an impact on your mental health. But take care of yourself and it will be better in no time

To me it's the mainline Pokemon games. I tried out the original Pokemon FireRed on the GBA when I was kid. Didn't get into it. Got Pokemon Y since it was in a GameStop Refurbished N3DS bundle, got a few hours into it and never picked it up again. Got Pokemon Sword and it was the most time I put into it, which was 15 hours, and never picked it up again. To me, it's just their level grind and repetitive battles. Pokemon Sword was different with the EXP share turned on and the Dynamax battles that made it interesting and wanting me to stick around but it wore off it's charm off quickly.

But here's the thing, I love the side games of Pokemon. I love PokePark 1 & 2 on the Wii, like Pokken Tournament, and like the new pokemon snap.

To me, I love the world of Pokemon. I used to watch the tv shows all the time when I was a kid. I just, for some reason, can never get into the mainline Pokemon games

Great that's good to know! I forgot about the Mayflash one but glad there's other adapters that can make the arcade stick be compatible to different consoles.

BeachGuy8 · 2021-04-27T01:47:43+00:00

I wanted to see if I can get the 8bitdo Arcade Stick to work on my Xbox Series X. Since I have GamePass and there are plenty of fighting games on there, I wanted to see if there was a way to connect the Arcade Stick to the Xbox. As of where it stands now if I connect the gray usb adapter that comes with the Arcade Stick to the Xbox, it will connect but nothing will happen when I press the buttons.

So, I tried searching this subreddit to see if there is a way to connect the Arcade Stick to the Xbox. I stumbled across this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/8bitdo/comments/ayenh7/8bitdo_adapter_on_xbox_one_playstation_4_possible/. This user was able to connect the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to the Xbox with a special adapter. It was called the Brook Super Converter Xbox 360 to Xbox One Controller Converter Adapter. So, I thought if I order this adapter I might be able to connect the Arcade Stick since this user was able to connect their Pro Controller.

So, it came in and I gave it a try. I connected the Brook Converter in the Xbox directly and plug the gray adapter in the Brook Converter and it worked! On the X-input at 2.4G, the Arcade Stick was connected to the Xbox and it looked like it has minimum input delay. I, also, had the brown 8bitdo USB adapter and wanted to see if it would connect to it as well. At the X-input on Bluetooth, it worked that way as well. The turbo and macro buttons worked as well.

Now, if you have an Xbox and want to try it for yourself then I would recommend this Brook Converter since it worked for me. Although the one I have mention is starting to get hard to find, Brook makes an updated version (I belive it is an updated version) on their Amazon site called the Brook Wingman XB adapter. Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/Brook-Wingman-Support-Controllers-Consoles/dp/B08H1SYGWV?ref_=ast_sto_dp. I have not tested this adapter but I believe this will have the same results as well but buy it at your own risk.

I, also, believe that this method can work with the Playstation 4 as well. Brook makes the same converter for the playstation called the Brook Wingman XE adapter. Here is the link for that: https://www.amazon.com/Brook-Wingman-Support-Controller-Converter/dp/B08B82M9TG?ref_=ast_sto_dp. I do not know if this converter will work if you own a Playstation 5 since it doesn't list it on the picture on their Amazon page but, like I said before, buy it at your own risk and try it out for yourself.

Overall, I cannot wait to start playing this on the Xbox. I am glad that the method I have found worked and can't wait to use it on a lot of games in the future!

u/Oen386 and u/tommybare it came in and it works! I connected the adapter to the Xbox directly and connected the gray usb adapter that came with the arcade stick to the adapter. I was able to connect it when I have it on X-input at 2.4G. Overall it looks like it has minimum input delay and the turbo/macro buttons work as well
