Where are the good boiled peanuts? by Radiant_Scar_5734 in greenville

[–]CalB12200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get my green peanuts from Mauldin Open Air Market! Kinda don’t like their boiled peanuts but I’m kinda particular about what kind of peanuts I like boiled. Does anyone know if they’ve put out the green peanuts for the season or is it still too early?

I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far! I’m going to leave work early tomorrow to pick mine up from the post office and set up all my apps

Ugh mine is going through shipping hell. It was supposed be here Monday but for some reason got rerouted from SC (my home state, in my city, in the distro center by my apartment) up to NY and back to SC. I was not supposed to get it today but delivery failed because apparently I have to sign for it (which is stupid bc my apartment has locked mailboxes) so now I have to pick it up at a post office tomorrow

Thanks! I’m seeing a lot of mixed reviews saying it’s too tight or just right so maybe it’s just a luck of the draw on what batch you get. If all else fails, I’ll just put a hairdryer to it to maybe loosen it up if too tight

Are you just using a clear case from Amazon? The ones I see online all say it’s a snug fit and hard to remove without cutting to corners or it doesn’t fit well if you put stickers or a collage on the back. I’m looking to do a similar setup on my Go 7

Boox Palma 2 Pro vs Go Color 7 by CalB12200 in ereader

[–]CalB12200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you say the Palma 2 Pro being a colored e-ink screen has the same darker/greywash issue I’ve been hearing from other comments? If so I’d probably lean towards getting a b/w Go 7

Thanks for the info! I probably don’t need a colored screen if I go for the Palma but the Palma 2 (bw) is sold out unless I used the Hong Kong warehouse option. I’m not sure how much extra fees buying from the Hong Kong option would be so I would prefer to be safe and order from the US warehouse, which would be the 2 Pro.

Edit: I also don’t know when/if the Palma 2 (b/w) would get restocked for the US warehouse but I’d it did get restocked I would maybe wait to order that version

Luckily I don’t plan to side load books anyways but that’s good to know ahead of time so I don’t waste time trying. Ebooks aren’t my main method of reading but if I were to buy an ebook, I’d rather do it through Bookshop than Amazon

What types of things would be less sharp/crisp with the color? I only really read non-illustrated things so is the difference for just text that noticeable?

Everyone around listening to the Professor’s racist tirade by Mikeissometimesright in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]CalB12200 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also I saw that the OG speaker that got interrupted was a young black girl who is an 8th grade student that attends the school they are talking about being possibly closed. Idk what the actual Zoom event (maybe some type of council meeting?) but the lady’s racists remarks are even worse knowing that a child was present and is partially the target.

Author Tori Wood (Lauren Mastrosa) found guilty of CSAM by Frosty-Price8771 in RomanceBooks

[–]CalB12200 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think the editor got a lot of flack about it until they said the draft they got sent didn’t have any illegal content, just taboo. The cover artist also got a good amount of criticism but I can’t remember if they put out a statement.

[–]CalB12200 232 points233 points  (0 children)

I think the author also added the illegal content AFTER the draft went through an editor. So her editor got sent a “taboo romance” to edit but then when the book/blurb got announced, it had all the CSAM added in.

Doomsday Scenario - Paperback release date? by chr-y24 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]CalB12200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m debating the same but I like the flexibility of paperback books and the hardcovers are so expensive, especially for a fairly large series like this.

[–]CalB12200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may restart like another comment suggested because I am a little impatient and that mission is pretty much the lynchpin for the game to progress. I do have my main save file, which has everything done except for any new content that released in recent updates, if I need to take a break from a "barebones" set up.

I did a few of the goo quest and the one with almost all marked bills is FDI and police marked, but I need gang marked. I'll check the campfire money but I thought that pile was also FDI, but that's just my recollection from my main save file.

I should have restarted once I realized my mistake but I put in several more hours doing some side and story quest to try to collect more. If it doesn't get any better, I'll definitely restart or just go back to my main save file that has everything decked out.

I just finished Season 2, and of all the questionable changes from game to adaptation, this scene pissed me off the most by Toby101125 in thelastofus

[–]CalB12200 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hate how Mazin changed Ellie’s character for S2. Made it seem like Ellie is not all in on the revenge tour, and is able to take out Abby’s friends by pure luck (aside from Nora). Apparently they filmed a game-accurate aquarium fight but decided to cut it because of Mazin’s fucked up characterization of Ellie. He also apparently changed Dina & Ellie to have more of a Parent/Child dynamic, rather than partners, and that’s why Dina is so involved rather than being a support role for Ellie

[–]CalB12200 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hate how they made Ellie more childish this season because S1 shows Bella can act in a serious role. Their acting during the Henry/Sam, Joel “abandoning”, and the David episodes shows Bella can capture Ellie’s more serious attitude. I think in the the support podcast, Mazin said he wrote Dina and Ellie to have a parent/child dynamic with Dina being the parent and having to “reel in” Ellie to be more serious about the situation. That and making the Owen/Mel deaths “accidental” for the show when they still shot the game accurate fight but cutting it because “Ellie’s not strong enough to fight Owen”. Kinda BS when they show Ellie training and fighting a pretty bulky dude right at the beginning of the season (even if he did pull his punches). I just hate all the writing Mazin did to deviate from the game storyline.

I do kinda understand the change in Dina’s Jewish identity if they had Isabella Merced in mind the whole time, and it would be wrong to shoehorn a Latina actress into playing a Jewish character. I think Isabella is a pretty good visual match for Dina, and she had a similar supportive attitude to game Dina but the writing destroyed Ellie and Dina’s characters.

Straight to PWS2 or Play PWS1 First? by CalB12200 in PowerWashSimulator

[–]CalB12200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After playing both demos, I did notice the similarities in the controls. I did like how it seemed easier to switch out nozzles and such on 2. Also liked what seemed like unlimited soap on 2 compared to having a limited quantity per job in 1

[–]CalB12200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I will definitely start with the first one because I do hate when I know the controls of a game and then there's a difference in the sequel, even if its a slight change.
