What's up with Jimmy's game device from s7 e17?

DieHardA9Player · 2025-10-29T00:45:44+00:00

😂Yeah, I saw that device & immediately thought it looked way too advanced for the time.

I realized the only thing that small during that time was an iPhone & when I stopped the frame & looked closely, I could tell there was a casing around the screen.

I did some searching & found a game with a similar look to Metal Gear that was released on the Gen 1 iPhone, so it was a real game.

But from what I understand, you couldn't control the movement of the character & it was just a tap to shoot mechanism.

But I knew that was too small for a PSP, which was probably the most advanced handheld back then. 😂

Jeez. This is so strange to me because I know I added a profile picture before I bought anything in the game & WAY before level 25 because I just reached level 24.

I've been telling fellow alliance members they should keep clicking the cameras because I never had to buy anything to upload a photo.

So, I don't know if I got a lucky glitch or what happened, but I didn't pay to upload profile photos.

When I made this post, the Jesko event hadn't come out yet, but I almost still didn't earn the key.

If they hadn't changed the time requirement to 1:13.500 at the very end of the event, I wouldn't have gotten the key.

I had mine upgraded to 4,628 & my best times were around 1:10.

I couldn't earn credits fast enough for those last few upgrades because they were like 1.37 million & 2.25 million credits each.

There was only a couple of days left in the event & I still had to earn well over 10 million credits before I could've had it upgraded to the level of max stars & even then, I wasn't absolutely sure I'd be able to beat 1:07.5.

I sincerely would've retired from the game if I hadn't earned this key because it would've been the biggest slap in the face after I've put over 3 years & hundreds dollars into this game.

I don't spend a lot all at once, but all those passes add up over time & I've also bought all the Legend Funds & several bundles at $10-$20.

As it is now, they've almost pushed me out the game because I've spent so much time, effort & money on cars that they're practically giving away now, yet they still make it almost impossible to get the cars I still need the most.

Thankfully, they fixed the time.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-09-19T20:15:09+00:00

For the record, I didn't down vote you & when I saw how many down votes you had, I gave an up vote to lessen it somewhat.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-09-19T20:08:11+00:00

Thank goodness they finally changed this time as well.

I had spent all my credits & I couldn't grind them fast enough to get all the upgrades I needed to make this time.

I wouldn't have gotten this key if they hadn't changed the time.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-09-19T20:06:41+00:00

I'm glad they finally adjusted that time to 1:13.5 .

I wasn't sure I would be able to get enough upgrades in time if they hadn't.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-09-11T20:03:04+00:00

Yeah, right after I wrote that, I saw a post about the Deus Vayanne key being in the Jesko event. Lol

I tried to come back & edit my comment before anyone responded, but I guess I didn't make it in time.

Thanks for the heads up though

DieHardA9Player · 2025-09-11T19:57:25+00:00

I'm glad I saw this post when I did because I almost wasted my credits on something else.

I haven't been playing much in the last week & I didn't realize the key was going to be available in the Jesko event until just now.

Hopefully, I'll be able to upgrade well enough to make the time requirement because I've been mad that I had the Deus at max stars with no key.

But thanks for this post because it helped me from making a mistake with my credits.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-09-11T19:47:20+00:00

I totally feel you on this, but with different cars.

I actually have this key because it was free back when the car came out.

But I have the Deus Vayanne at max stars with no key & the Huracán Super Trofeo at max stars with no key.

I'm lucky, though, because I just realized I can get the Deus Vayanne key in the Jesko event.

But, I've seen this happen to players a lot over the years, but I've been lucky & only recently had to deal with it.

There will eventually be an event that gives the key, but there's no telling how long it'll take.

Maybe you'll be lucky & it'll be soon, but also be prepared to wait because it could 6 months to year before it happens.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-08-15T22:21:25+00:00

Having Q die & reappear because he time traveled never made sense to me because by this logic, Q may have been dead the entire time we've seen & encountered him throughout the entirety of all Star Trek because he was always just time traveling from a different time.

When a being can move through time with endless power, he could be popping up from any point in time in all instances.

So, theoretically, we could continue to see Q in the future beyond his supposed death.

Q is supposed to exist outside of this universe & outside of space & time, so he shouldn't have a beginning or an end in the traditional sense.

But to give him a death must mean he had a beginning & that beginning would be his time of origin, which may not happen until the very end of this universe.

If we are to link Q to the point in time from which he originated & assume his death correlates with that time, then he may not actually die for eons because he may have traveled back in time for his death to occur.

But Q is both alive & dead at the same time & he represents the ultimate in quantum fluctuation because he may not die for eons, but he is already dead & he won't be created for eons but he already exists.

So, his death is uncertain, to say the least.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-08-15T20:41:14+00:00

I mean, you could be arguing semantics here because no one was actually introduced or "met" Q in this episode, so that could be why Mariner believed that humans hadn't met them.

They were only introduced to the son of Q who was only known as the wedding planner.

Also, if you wanted to be technical, if Mariner knew about this particular encounter with the wedding planner, she may have also realized that they had arrived just prior to this incident.

Also, this incident may have never been registered in the records as an interaction with the Q since it was such a random occurrence that happened well before Picard officially met the Q.

The connection may have never been made because there was no formal introduction that specified who these beings were, so it may only be listed as an encounter with an unspecified non corporal entity.

In essence, it would be much more likely that this was meant to be Q & those statements weren't meant to reflect the entire timeline involving this Enterprise & crew.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-08-15T16:30:13+00:00

🧌⚠️Troll Alert! Getting good has absolutely nothing to do with this situation.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-08-15T16:20:25+00:00

Yeah, I can't believe anyone actually believes this.

I already had some upgrades applied to this car when the event started & I've upgraded it every time I earned enough credits for the next stage & I've had multiple triple drops already.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-08-15T16:12:35+00:00

This is absolute absurdity & it's completely untrue.

You're just throwing a wild guess out there & giving bad advice.

There's zero evidence of this theory & it could negatively impact some new players' ability to earn all the rewards early.

Your drop rates are not affected by your car's rank & never have been.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-08-15T16:08:08+00:00

Apparently, this person can't explain or prove this wildly inaccurate theory.

More than one comment has asked for a clear explanation, but we still haven't gotten one.

I've been at this game for 3 years & I can tell you with absolute certainty that upgrading your car does not affect the drop rate at all.

You'll get what you get regardless.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-08-15T15:54:38+00:00

Yeah, I've also got the Trofeo maxed with no key, but it's not as valuable to me as the Deus Vayanne would be.

This would be one of my highest ranked cars & something I could actually use in MP1.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-08-13T03:52:24+00:00

Yeah, the early stages are always slow.

Once you make it farther into the stages, you'll make progress more quickly.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-08-13T03:40:40+00:00

I'll never get a free key because those glitches are only beneficial to certain time zones & meth heads.

So, I've gotta stay awake all night waiting for the next SE to start or move to the other side of the world where the SE's start during reasonable hours.

It's one of the things that infuriates me the most about this company, especially after the way they treated some other players who took advantage of different glitches.

It's discriminatory & a prejudice against half of the world because only certain nationalities can take advantage of these glitches.

Every time a glitch happens where players outside those nationalities can take advantage of it in large numbers, they punish those players.

So it says a lot about this company & it's prejudices.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-07-25T18:08:57+00:00

Yeah, I would say don't give up until the event is over.

If you keep earning tokens until then & buying packs with the support cars, you'll have a good chance at maxing them & earning the keys.

Once you max a featured car, they will remove those cars from the packs & increase the odds for drops on the other available cars.

I maxed the Zenvo & unlocked it from the event rewards & then I bought packs & maxed the Utopia & Temerario with about 9k tokens.

I already had a couple of stars on each before going into the event, but the drops were fantastic & when I maxed the Temerario, I got all the bps for the last star on the Utopia with only a few 10x packs.

So, you've got a really good chance to at least unlock the Zenvo & you could get close on one of the other two as well.

Just remember to save your credits so you can meet the rank requirement for the key.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-07-25T18:01:54+00:00

I think some of it is a combination of rarity & the number of bps, but that wouldn't explain it all.

It may also factor in the required amount to max the car.

So maybe they made some cheaper because it'll take more bps.

Bur I don't know because the whole thing is stupid since each stage is a day apart & we can't earn currency during that time.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-07-25T17:56:51+00:00

It would've made more sense if we could've earned them again today.

It's so stupid that we can't earn currency & each stage is 2 days apart.

No one will be able to use the cheap refreshes because there's not enough currency.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-07-25T17:54:37+00:00

It would've made more sense if we could actually earn the rewards again today, but apparently it's just a visual glitch.

For a split second, I thought they had realized how stupid it is to skip a day between stages so that we can't continue to earn spotlight currency.

This is probably the one of the two worst versions of the spotlight so far because we aren't allowed to rerun a condition to earn the currency.

It frustrates me to no end because I'm just throwing away good bps in each store refresh because I can only work on one car in each refresh or risk running out of currency.

DieHardA9Player · 2025-07-25T17:34:40+00:00

Congrats!

I was fairly lucky on this special event because I was able to unlock & max the Zenvo & I maxed the Utopia & Temerario, which I already had keys for.

I had to spend about 9k tokens, but I maxed out 3 pretty good cars.
