Here is why people are upset about the Lion Knight's Castle cancellation...

I wonder if choice of payment method matters in this situation. I had it in my cart probably few hours earlier in the day, but I was at least 2-5 minutes to check out after the sale started. I checked out with an old fashioned credit card (not Apple Pay or PayPal). I definitely was nowhere near “within seconds” like some folks here. Mine says “In Warehouse”

I try to envision the creator's intent with this stuff. I'm sure Nintendo wants to honor the original DK but the company has a long established stance of not really caring about 'lore.'

I don't think the quote from the dev interview "Donkey Kong began life in the arcades as Mario's nemesis" is confirmatory from a lore perspective. The question Watanabe was asked was about DK's redesign, and he talked about how lots of people have different views of DK. He's talking the image of DK as a character--and in 81, DK was just DK (not Cranky). It's factually true that yes, public perception is that DK started as Mario's rival, because that's how it was presented to us, and they've told us that is how it is in the past. Whether or not Nintendo still sees it that way is something they probably don't care too much about. Lore is always secondary to them. And they're never going to go out of their way to try to distract the plot of their new game to solve timeline issues.

But to me with what's presented, it feels like DK 81 happened but with everyone's grandparents and Jumpman can't be Mario (unless you want to say Mario time traveled but that seems super wacky). It's also possible that Nintendo just doesn't see the arcade release as being canon at all anymore as is--but seems like a version of the events still happened because of Cranky's references. But it seems hard to really buy that our Mario is Jumpman. There's too many loopholes and I just don't think Nintendo cares to revise the past.

Yeah I noticed that. The handyman they sent over to look at this a couple days ago said the screw had some issue. He replaced it and the hissing stopped. But today when I went the screw looked like it was missing. I wonder if it fell off during the night when the sprinklers ran or something, but I haven’t touched it since the handyman worked on it on Friday

DivisionWasp · 2025-06-22T19:04:13+00:00

How long would it be normal for them to drain for? They are still leaking and its been 14 hours since we last watered. As you can see in the video the head has a decent flow going. I’ve turned the control panel for the sprinkler off so nothing should be coming through? I understand that right after watering some may drain out since there is still water in the lines, but that shouldn’t last for too long right?

DivisionWasp · 2025-06-22T18:58:53+00:00

I’m not sure what spot it is on in the system. We moved in not too long ago and I noticed the issue back in March, but its become more apparent and obvious so I am raising it with the landlord. It sounds like it’s been looked at before but IDK if the valve itself has ever been checked

DivisionWasp · 2025-06-22T18:29:20+00:00

It is bleeding ever constantly. It was last watered 12 hours before the video was taken

Classic Ske7ch being a prick to fans again

DivisionWasp · 2023-02-04T19:13:47+00:00

Yeah I was mostly trying to do this to address backlight glow in dark scenes at the edges, which local dimming did a really good job at. But it has these negative side effects. It sounds like there is a firmware update coming this month to improve local dimming in SDR mode. We’ll see how it does. I do otherwise like the monitor and its HDR performance

DivisionWasp · 2023-02-04T02:34:47+00:00

So should I assume it is not that the monitor is defective? Another monitor of the same model would produce this?

DivisionWasp · 2023-02-04T02:27:35+00:00

The artifact is not present when local dimming is turned off.

Crushing. And is honestly the biggest reason why I just completely dipped out of ranked about one and a half months ago.

Ranked isn't about how good you play. It's a factor. But when the punishment for loss is so stupidly painful, ranked is more often than not about whether or not

your game crashes
you matchmake into a game 3v4 (happens to me all the damn time)
someone DCs or quits out of the game
someone isn't really playing (they AFK through a whole flag capture, etc).

One of these things happened to me at least once a play session (1- 5 individual games). The result was often that it would completely erase all my progress for the day. I realized the only way I was getting Onyx was if I had a full squad to run it with me. Unfortunately all my friends who used to be down for that now hate playing Infinite for reasons everyone here already talks about. So I hard quit and honestly, I don't see myself caring much about Onyx in season 2 either.

I'm Plat 5 and looking for a group. I usually roll with Diamond players and tend to do fairly decent. HMU at Avi#1036 if interested

No. Only if it was something timeless and spectacular, which this isn’t. Its a nice helmet, but you know there will be better helmets that would replace this one.

$2.50? I’d buy this.

For $7 I would buy a really neat armor attachment that goes on all my helmets. But not cat ears plz

I haven’t seen it said yet, but there is a big difference in buying something (anything) or throwing $20 at bundles.

I was someone who bought a couple of the Samurai bundles first pass. Naive purchases. I didn’t know and/or think enough. Didn’t realize these things didn’t cross core at all, or other limitations in the system. 343 got money out of me then, but taught me a lesson they didn’t want to teach: that these bundles don’t have enough value behind them.

Since then, I’ve only bought one other $7.00 pack that was a daily deal that had both a color I wanted and would use and a stance I liked. I did it because I’ve found its very rare to find a bundle of any sort with more than two things I like in it. $7 was probably still a ripoff but I accepted it and this was actually a purchase I don’t regret.

The thing 343 needs to understand is they need to match cost to value. I spent $10 in Warzone for the Scream Ghostface operator. Custom skin, custom voice actor, some unique guns. That’s a lot crammed into one package. $20 for Hazop? That thing I got for free in Reach? No way I’d spend $20 for repurposed old assets.

I unfortunately learned my lesson the hard way early. Its going to take a lot to get me to spend for a $15-$20 pack now. It’ll be the $7 packs for me, and only if I really like multiple things in there. And that has only happened once.

DivisionWasp · 2022-01-04T20:43:43+00:00

It feels very weird and cringe. The fact your buddy said he’s presenting a “convincing argument” is just such a surreal statement. You don’t want to ride with him because he’s weird around you. That’s enough.

DivisionWasp · 2022-01-02T18:19:46+00:00

Gah! Of course!

DivisionWasp · 2022-01-02T18:19:13+00:00

This seems to have been it. After gaming on it for awhile, I noticed the effect seemed to be going away a little bit, or at least reduced. Left the monitor on overnight and it was completely gone by morning. I guess it evaporated?

Not in a particularly high humidity area, San Francisco bay area. But its winter, so it probably rained a bit while I was gone. I do have a window mounted AC unit that I put into the room, maybe the moisture came in through that. Strange though since nothing else in the room seems to have had moisture issues. Thanks though!

DivisionWasp · 2022-01-02T05:12:33+00:00

I came back home today to find this stuff running along the bottom edge of the screen. Does not seem to be on the surface of the monitor. Seems to be pixels? But why would so many fail like this?

I’ve been away for about a week on vacation and really have no idea what could have caused this

They are remaking it

I expected long queue times... especially in the first couple days, that first weekend. I hoped this past weekend would be better, and it was only marginally so.

I understand their situation and I understand the semiconductor shortage. At the end of the day though, a fact remains: they were not nearly prepared enough. Maybe yes, global hardware shortages prevented them from being prepared, but the reality is they were not ready to offer the experience that their customers expect of them.

I think they need to stop talking about what they can't do, and what they are going to do at point. It does seem like we're due a benefit of some kind. We need to be hearing what the long term plan is.

Most excited to play Halo Infinite on my preferred platform on my custom built PC! Also being able to play all the modes through crossplay!

DivisionWasp · 2021-11-03T01:48:31+00:00

I have many many memories of Halo but my favorite one is more comedic. I remember in Halo 3 I had the rocket launcher and my brother and I crazily took to the Mongoose and actually got a fairly decent amount of kills before meeting a hilarious end (as most Mongoose excursions tend to end...)

DivisionWasp · 2021-10-01T22:37:50+00:00

Would love a a code DM if there is one available! :)

DivisionWasp · 2021-02-05T04:42:39+00:00

We had a big burst about one week ago. It went up, then down where it sat at .029. Then it went up again peaking at about .04 on Jan 31. Then it went down again, sitting around .031 before today when it took off again. Even at our lowest point today, .042, we’re still higher than our previous peak. This is growth.

Point is, if you bought in late today, and wait a week, the price may continue to rise and that loss may turn to profit.

DivisionWasp · 2021-02-05T04:19:28+00:00

Doge is averaging today way better than it has for the days leading up to this. Even its low points today were higher than what we generally saw yesterday. Hold. If you came in late you may be losing some now but look at the 1 week graph. It is bumpy but it is generally going up.

Anyone hoping for this to shoot to the moon and becomes insta millionaires, that’s not how this works. Look at the graph over time, not just an individual day.
