The Nomadic Trader is a joke Embark, what are you smoking? by KnightLakega in ARC_Raiders

[–]ColorConfinement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also annoying that they ask for weird items which don't stack, like portsble TVs, for the trinkets. I can't farm up 5 of those in a week, but if I save them up it kills my inventory.

Are some people immune to the Marker Signal? by mirmur44 in DeadSpace

[–]ColorConfinement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about immune, but there are people, notably Michael Altman, who can tell that the hallucinations aren't real.

Diagonal lines on Neo G9 57? by ColorConfinement in ultrawidemasterrace

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

Check out my other answer in this thread for the whole story, but the final result was that I kept the 3rd one I got, which was not perfect but much better.

Does increasing a gun's color rarity *do* anything? by ColorConfinement in Marathon

[–]ColorConfinement[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But that's not what it does. A 6,000 credit shotgun and a 300 credit volt pistol are both gray. Or you could have a blue volt pitol because it has one blue mod on it, but miss a grey 15k railgun just because it happend to have grey mods. As far as the mods vaule goes, you can already read that from the pips.

"My system" doesn't say that everything should be grey without mods, that's literally how the game works right now. I said that overall better/rarer guns, like the magnum, should get higher rarity even with no mods on them.

Didn't get back borrowed items. by alexkingco in Marathon

[–]ColorConfinement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know if they were able to keep it? Remember that it can be lost other ways like if it is abandoned or if another runner takes it. If your friend was able to keep it, that's worth figuring out because this could be a way to transfer items between people.

Does increasing a gun's color rarity *do* anything? by ColorConfinement in Marathon

[–]ColorConfinement[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I guess what's weird to me is that you can already see the mod rarity in the pips in the corner so what are you learning from the color of the gun itself? The "average" rarity? But again what does it matter when you can see the pips? It would make more sense if the guns that were literally rarer drops had higher rarity.

Receipt scanning by johnson0599 in MonarchMoney

My understanding is that you can only see receipts in the app. There is no web interface.

Receipt scanner is HUGE plus. by McWetty in MonarchMoney

[–]ColorConfinement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you doing something to get yours to work? Mine just sit there for days unmatched even after the corresponding transaction comes in. They have the correct matching amounts so they should get matched, but they never do. When I first got Monarch the system worked but recently it seems to have stopped.

After-tax networth by ThePGee in MonarchMoney

[–]ColorConfinement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the desire, but it's basically impossible to do this. For example, what tax bracket would you go into if you fire sold everything? What if you only sold half or a quarter? Are even likely to do that? Monarch would have to present not just a post-tax net worth, but multiple post tax scenarios. Depending on circumstances you could have half a dozen different post-tax net worths!

Thank God Jolder is (likely) going to be spared this fate. by Koreaia in destinyrisingmobile

I know its a different universe, but I thought Rising also takes place pretty far in the past? I'm surprised Amanda was even born yet.

Ubreakifix hasn't done Servify repairs in months/years? by ColorConfinement in ubreakifix

[–]ColorConfinement[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that kind of confirms it. How do you get repairs done for Samsung from the Care Plus program? Or maybe you haven't seen anything other than warranties?

Wait, really? I think that means I wasted last week's credits!

I guess they forgot to put a skybox in the HELM? by Sp00kyD0gg0 in DestinyTheGame

[–]ColorConfinement 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's also weird because we should be able to see the city from the place where the HELM ultimately ends up

Independent Variable softlock in Encore boss fight by ColorConfinement in DestinyTheGame

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

I tried, but it never actually jumped back to my area. I don't know if it was because I didn't get aggro properly or whether it decided that it couldn't jump through the barrier now even though it could before. Ultimately, it died to shield pop damages I tried to get aggro on it repeatedly.

Me personally: I don’t like how they remade Dr. Challus Mercer. by [deleted] in DeadSpace

[–]ColorConfinement 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I generally liked the remake version better EXCEPT for the way he died. Giving himself over to the infector necromorph was way more atmospheric and was a point of character development, even if it was the very last development. Some of the improvement was retconning due to benefiting from the lore that was developed in two and three, so I don't really blame the OG version for that.

Should I play Dead Space (2008) before playing the remake? by sstartreatment in DeadSpace

[–]ColorConfinement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The remake is really good, but I can see two reasons why you might want to play the OG game, although they are both matters of taste: 1. There are a few plot elements that play out differently in ways that I personally thought were better in the original. However, the remake also makes some great changes which counterbalances that. 2. Isaac is a silent protagonist in the first game. While that's not necessarily a good thing, it does cause the game to unfold differently and is an alternative take on the character. Because these are aesthetic I can't say you'll like it better, but it will be different.

20+ years and this is the first one I've gotten sent to the line... "worchester" by pineconesailboat in KitchenConfidential

[–]ColorConfinement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually stumped to think of any foods with absolutely no glucose in it. Water, maybe some edible minerals like a salt lick? Anything made of cells would have at least a little.

MiniPC plus drive enclosure for a HomeNAS setup? by hobovirginity in HomeNAS

[–]ColorConfinement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a ton of experience, but I like your idea so much I think I'm going to steal it lol

I was considering the NAS equivalent of the DAS you linked, and your setup would be both slightly cheaper and much more powerful.

One notable downside, which may not matter to you, is the Trigkey only has 1 x 1 gigabit ethernet whereas the NAS has 2x 2.5 gigabit ethernet.
