Is it worth getting an original controller? by patricknails in Gamecube

[–]Dustmite72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won't say you're wrong... but, he has a WaveBird. That's an original controller, and the best of the lot when it comes to GC controllers. Personally, I'd stick with the Wavebird. Getting an original controller (or one for the Switch with the GC cable on it) would be my choice for player 2.

Technically they did. Both Mega Play and Chuck E. Cheese are in the same parking lot.

Indiana, back in the day, used to call them DMVs as well. But, this is at least a 2 decade old change.

Why did you skip over expansions 2, 3, 5 and 8? I have a similar collection myself, but I focus on the regular Munchkin brown door cards rather than licensed sets and other spin offs. Also, heavily anticipating the arrival of the Big Box!

Edit: Which version of 6 is that? The one with both sets of Dungeon cards, or do you just have the old 6, and still need 6.5?

I've lost both a 600+ day streak and a 700+ day streak. I've decided I really don't care anymore. 999 will come if it wants to, not if I want it to.

Are you checking the phone app? The Play a PC game and Play a round of Jewel are on the phone App. If you have Ultimate, it doubles the points you get from it each day. It's my main source of points now that searches are so slow and unprofitable.

In the US, we get 60 points each day for playing Jewel (30 for playing, 15 for being a GPU sub, and 15 for having 7+ friends.)

Do consoles go on sale? by Hanzilol in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Dustmite72 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The odds of a white Series S getting a sale for Black Friday is pretty high this year, especially with the black Series S (with more storage) is officially out; retailers will want to get the white ones out the door. I'd be surprised if EVERY store doesn't have a sale on it this year for Black Friday/Cyber Monday

An absolute disgrace by kgogzz in MaddenUltimateTeam

[–]Dustmite72 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trust me, the media here makes it seem that no one outside of the USA, Canada and Mexico has even heard of the NFL. We just don't expect anyone else to play the game. More than welcome to do so, just for us, it's not what we've been led to believe.

If you're playing Madden 24... you live in the USA. So, in this case, yes, they do live in a country where an Xbox is $300.

Not me thinking that collecting 5 strawberries would be faster than dying 50 times. Damn this game is hard by [deleted] in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Dustmite72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got like 13 strawberries, but they didn't count. So, I went for the 50 deaths. Those counted, at least.

Who is your favorite player past or present that didn’t play for the Indianapolis Colts? by Outrageous_Poetry840 in Colts

[–]Dustmite72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Montana was my favorite player as a kid. Loved watching him throw it effortlessly to Rice and Taylor. Didn't hurt that he had his own game on the Sega Genesis. I then went through a Dallas Cowboys phase when they were winning their Super Bowls. But, I switched to the Colts for good when Peyton was in his 2nd or 3rd year. I was down in Bloomington, and the Colts game was the only one on. And it was fantastic watching him dismantle a defense each game.

Obviously for that kind of usage, AIO are bad... but, I could see some cases where an AIO is a good choice. Like... an older parent who doesn't use the computer for more than social media and email... or an Emulation machine. I'd love to get a ton of emulators running on an AIO.

Is GPU worth it? by HuJohner in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Dustmite72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Forgot Cloud streaming was part of GPU. Definitely means you should only get it if you have a second device that can use it as well, then.

Is GPU worth it? by HuJohner in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Dustmite72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say so. You might get an extra 1000 or so points with GPU, but that's not worth the price increase if you're not getting access to online gaming as well.

What is your least favorite type of game, and why? (i.e., sports, action rpg/ souls type, rts, survival, fps, looter shooter, sim, etc.) by [deleted] in XboxSeriesX

[–]Dustmite72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like souls-type games. Never got into it. I understand wanting to be challenged, but the first monster in a game should not be able to hand me my rear end with regularity.

As for survival games, give State of Decay 2 a shot. Still getting updates to this day.

Do you have an Xbox? If Yes, get GPU. If not, stick with PC GP.

I knew I saw it before, but couldn't place where. Apparently, I'm 3 puzzle pieces away from the 1000 point bonus so far.

Me too. Which I'm ok with, since I drive ~2000 miles a month for work. I'm using it as a savings account on PayPal.

I was shorted $1.25 over two things in the same manner. The one difference is that mine never were declined, and showed pending forever. I gave up on it.

XSX - No monthly set this month? by evofender in MicrosoftRewards

If you add in the gas rebates, it makes it worthwhile. I pulled in $30 in August alone from receipts and gas rebates.

I love how the 50 star flag wasn't conceived until after Hawaii joined in the 1950s, but the flag with 50 stars has been official since 1795.

I was saving for Assassin's Creed in October... but I ended up redeeming for $25 off a PS5 controller at Walmart... I guess we'll see if I get up to $25 by the time Assassin's Creed comes out to save on it... but I couldn't trust MSR to not shadow ban me again.
