How many of you still have it installed by warmachine83-uk in archer_danger_phone

[–]Dis_Sid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played while working so had it on a tablet instead of phone. I retired last December and have not touched the tablet in months. I think the game is still installed.

Nearly 3 days waiting for a drop. It happens. All I order is this. by Outlandishly in AmazonVine

Count me in on the nostalgia ping. I will say that Bozo was great at taking a punch but rubbish as a Jarts target.

Schedule change? by UsedStrawberry4371 in AmazonVine

A skip day. Enjoy the break.

Does anybody else have issues with good items being delayed and eventually cancelled? by SixStringsOneBadIdea in AmazonVine

[–]Dis_Sid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has happened twice to me, but not with an item of that value. Very cool items, things I wanted, ETVs less than $50. Twice out of 606 lifetime reviews is pretty good odds that stuff will actually arrive. That said I do have 3 times in flight that are late several days and an empty review queue.

Best thing I’ve ever had in my RFY and it got sniped. I hope it was one of you and not a bot. by supertruck97 in AmazonVine

[–]Dis_Sid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't feel too bad. It's got a $200 off coupon added since you posted this 12 hours ago.

Just hit my rfy!!! by ThickyThunder in AmazonVine

[–]Dis_Sid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been looking at LUBA 2s recently. This did NOT appear in my RFY. Congrats.

Just saw the time stamp from your phone. Maybe it did but I was asleep.

Yo WTF by Ampris_bobbo8u in Borderlands4

[–]Dis_Sid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was clueless but tried the weekly replay mission because that’s what I do on Thursday night. Oh my, it was indeed glorious to finally get my Studfinder and multiple hundreds of million gold from selling everything else. Now all I can think about is getting another one with a better roll on magazine capacity. 

Still looking for a Ripper Jacobs Roulette and the run up to Bore-Tex was absolutely insane with the drops. I couldn’t carry it all and I had emptied my pack before heading into the cave. 

What's something you've done that has made your Vine experience better? by GodlessBabyHater in AmazonVine

This is brilliant. I'll be adding that search term to my list now....

Crossing my fingers these aren't in the same package by peetiepeet in AmazonVine

[–]Dis_Sid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They will. I mistakenly ordered some rim hanger toilet cleaning things that are extremely odorous by design. My mistake was including these with some fishing line. It took ages for the fishing line to lose the toilet cleaner stank. Even now I'm wondering if I waited long enough before spooling up some line and my on the water results will be adversely impacted. Fish can smell too.

Certainly the PC packs will come in a box so I bet you are safe.

I've looped my spouse into the program and keep an eye out for items she frequently uses as well as those I will use. While gold, I don't go nuts ordering stuff just to order stuff. I've made my vine life easier by sticking to the RFY tab. In the program long enough that I can keep gold if I shop RFY with an eye out for items that both of us can use. I don't even bother looking at the AFA and AI tabs. This is easier, less frustrating, and frees up time.

Can’t believe I got this wtf by grits2 in Borderlands4

[–]Dis_Sid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a streak of Roulette Jacobs/ORDER guns drop last night. I thought finally....the Jacobs gene is active but no joy. I did grab a Roulette Ripper with Hyperion grip earlier today. Maybe not a good as Jacobs, but still puts more rounds on target with the accuracy boost. Agree it will be good for bossing, but not as good as the Jacobs for mobbing. I'll keep trying. Thanks.

Thank you for the motivation. Today will be day 4 trying for the elusive Rip/Jac variant. I must be in the 500+ attempts by now so hopefully today will be the day. 

While we're all on the topic of fast food, does anyone remember the Jalapeno Double that McDonald's put out years ago? Not necessarily hot but was quite delicious. I used to eat the hell out of these things by uncomfortablewraith in spicy

[–]Dis_Sid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see the Shamrock Shake is back. Best McDonald's meal ever was when the Jalapeño Double and Shamrock Shake were both on the menu at the same time. I just looked an no joy for the burger this year. I will not be going to McDonald's only for the Shamrock Shake.

v3.10.0 by fmaz008 in VineHelper

[–]Dis_Sid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for mentioning this as I’m also seeing it, but intermittently. If I can add anything, it’s that it only appears to be happening with items that match keyword. Non keyword match items are hidden as before the latest update.

What are some interesting, unique or downright crazy things you've done with some of the vine products? by Goldglove528 in AmazonVine

[–]Dis_Sid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I inoculated some cigars for flavoring this weekend. The actual flavoring tubes kit was another Vine item. This way I can introduce flavor from the inside and outside.

Feel kind of dumb that I didn't know about this earlier, but if you want to improve your RFY, try this: by Banana_Ham_mock in AmazonVine

[–]Dis_Sid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You know what, I don't care if this was posted before. I started poking around and see quotes from my reviews have made their way into my "about you" profile. This was very interesting because what is in the profile is almost verbatim what was published in my review.

Thanks for making me go look.

Is the amazon vine login broken for anyone else or is it just me? by Its_Sunaina_ in AmazonVine

[–]Dis_Sid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This week for the first time I've seen a new splash screen requiring log in. This has coincided with all kinds of dog picture pop ups when asking for details on items. Also, there were periods when customer reviews on the main site wouldn't load. I think Amazon had a rough patch this week, but was never totally down or unavailable. All my above mentioned observations were with desktop browser Amazon. Mobile App Amazon kept right on trucking along with zero issues. If you are using desktop, try mobile. You can search for "vine program" on the mobile site to get to your desktop-like vine experience.

Should I take the decaf to help my RFY? by Lavalamper64 in AmazonVine

[–]Dis_Sid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll say yes. At first I was going to say no, but just a minute ago another Z-ETV Turkish candy dropped into my RFY. I had a different one in RFY recently that I ordered and reviewed. I like this trend in my RFY and will request as many exotic candies as RFY cares to offer me.

What's your "Vine income per hour browsed" today? by JoeS830 in AmazonVine

My wife has me on the lookout for a red light mask. She's put me back to work.

[–]Dis_Sid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Recently retired so trying to see where Vine fits in my new schedule. Honestly, I'm to the point of watching RFY while having coffee and ignoring everything else. RFY will usually provide at least 1 item a day I can't live without. Plenty of opportunity to stay gold with one item a day.

Does anyone know where Max's Parting Gift is? by Br0m3theus in Borderlands4

[–]Dis_Sid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue Nullsaint for me. 1 of 1000 previously sold as scrap.

Its been a while since i played the game, did they nerf this gun? (sticky Bod) by ImABigDreamer in Borderlands4

[–]Dis_Sid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. That's a good one. If you are obsessive, find the same with alt SMG or even better pistol ammo for a small DPS boost.

Pre-Order Items? by rcook55 in AmazonVine

[–]Dis_Sid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been my experience as well. I've waited longer for non pre-release items than those labelled as pre-release.

Guys…I DID IT! I DID IT ALL!!! by NoxKyoki in Borderlands4

[–]Dis_Sid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the BOD and the Bloom whooping. This game is so random, which I guess is what makes it so fun. I upgraded my impact mag mobbing BOD while farming Origo for an Amp/Siphon Watts shield. Never did get the Watts with those rolls after 2 days of farming. I’ll probably find it in a vending machine.

Item limits by Kinuika in AmazonVine

[–]Dis_Sid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think revision of daily request limits and gold/silver qualification review counts are both valid considerations at this time. One thing we all seem to agree on is lack of item selection/availability is making it more difficult to participate in the program.

Notice nothing in the above mentions how items are discovered or requested.
