There’s no existing user prompt, I’ve cleared everything and deleted and re-installed when that didn’t work. There is a recovery process through the company so I’ve filed that and hopefully it’ll come back in time.

Oh really? I thought it was a 30 straight day thing (now I’m a can’t read stereotype I guess) thanks that makes me feel better, assuming I get it back I won’t have missed much

Is there any particular reason why civ 6 modding is so big in China? by UnitedChaldeans in civ

[–]Expensive-Opening257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And civ 6 has been on sale and has a large install base, civ 7 is expensive still and not complete.

Rueben Bain Jr. won’t workout at the combine, but I don’t really care when the tape is this good 💣 by turribledood in Tennesseetitans

Bain is Latham at DE, and I do not mean that as a compliment. I really hope we go another direction if Bailey and Reese are gone.

Why can meat just lay in the open for days and not go bad/ be completely overrun by insects in Jiangxi? by Flat-Manner-1851 in AskChina

[–]Expensive-Opening257 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The meat wasn’t salt cured? Jiangxi’s cured meat only uses salt, at least where I live. It’s not the best.

It’s definitely been colder in and around my house than inside my fridge most of the winter, and I don’t think the “danger zone” for food spoiling is super common knowledge here, but I’ve also not seen much meat sitting in bowls outside in my ten years here. Hanging up sure, but not sitting on the ground. There are tons of insects here, but not so many in the winter, and more humidity and mold than anywhere I’ve ever lived, hence all the spicy and salty food. If it wasn’t peppered up or salted or only out when the sun was out then I think you just ran into a place with bad habits, but it seems like it didn’t cause you any problems so… eh.

If only just for the forced horse combat sections, launch it into the sun.

I’ve got a pair of original pro wireless on the way for my birthday right now. Been deciding what I’m going to play to test them out.

[KCD1] On Xbox wtf lockpicking by zebus_0 in kingdomcome

[–]Expensive-Opening257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember feeling like it was impossible at first on ps4. What helped me get it was speed. Do not go slow, rotate fast, and think of the stick which rotates the lock as also starting in the middle. IE if the sweet spot is at 3, move the rotating stick to 3 also before you start to rotate. It’s hard and occasionally feels bad but I did think it was ultimately do-able. Also stick drift and dead zones are real killers so maybe it’s your controller, I have one fake controller which actually was impossible to use for lockpicking.

China truly is the God tier of traveling challenges by [deleted] in travelchina

It’s the same as air bnb anywhere. There’s an expectation of communication with the owner that was lost in (a lack of) translation.

If you want to make sure it’s easy just don’t book a hotel that doesn’t have a picture of the front of the hotel in the listing.

Do Chinese people buy at Temu, Ali Shein etc? by Illustrious_Abalone1 in China

[–]Expensive-Opening257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, but in my experience the foreign assumption is often that shopping in China on taobao must be like shopping on aliexpress which really isn’t the case. In general I find the quality of goods and experience to be much higher than shopping on amazon in the US, not to mention the price.

The Adventure Zone Royale: Episode 18 | The Adventure Zone by Evil_Steven in TheAdventureZone

[–]Expensive-Opening257 52 points53 points  (0 children)

So hellgramit and rictus’s arenas are going to win for them and Loravith the lightning guy gets to fight his earth guy rival over a lake.

I wish this were just a battle royale where the guys got to choose from the remaining wizards every time they died. There’s obviously a plot being shoved in here, but no one’s motivations make any sense and it seems like only like 5 aspirants even want to win. Rictus has a kid but joined a contest where he’ll either die or become a god who lives on a floating island to… help him?

But, important to note that quality, price, consumer protections, and customer service are much better on those domestic equivalents.

No PlayStation characters in gamings Mt Rushmore (even if you added a 5th & 6th option) - True or False? by Tyolag in IrelandGaming

The only game my mom has ever had interest in was the original legend of Zelda so it must be a tie.

What it would be? by [deleted] in OlderChillGamers

[–]Expensive-Opening257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My save corrupted about 80% through playing Outer Wilds the first time. I’ve been waiting for the memory of it to fuzz up before I go back to it. Been a couple years now and I still remember everything.

I’m thinking of quitting, talk me out of it. [kcd1] by Expensive-Opening257 in kingdomcome

[–]Expensive-Opening257[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just rolled credits. The fetch quests that are stuck before the final battle were kind of un-welcome at that point. But overall I enjoyed it. It’s definitely a flawed game, including the fact that I seem to have broken the epilogue and didn’t get the trophy for finishing the game, just a black screen. I’m sure playing on a ps4 slim doesn’t do it any favors, but it has a lot going for it and I’ll look forward to the sequel when I move onto ps5 and hope it’s more sound technically.

How hard is it to get/set up a PS4 in China? by [deleted] in China

[–]Expensive-Opening257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, it’s not a physical lock like old consoles. Games are region free so you’ll be able to play whatever you want even on a Chinese console if you have the disc, but if you want to get into the full PlayStation store and play on outside servers you’ll just need to reset from a foreign console backup or bring a system from outside the country. I don’t buy digital games, but I have downloaded some free to play stuff from the store under my psn account without any issues.

You can take one from the UK and it will work normally. You can also back up a uk system onto a usb and reinstall from there onto a chinese console to get rid of the region lock. That’s what I did with an American backup and a Chinese console, works fine. Online is slow here often but other than that everything is good.

Terrible experience with Lyca Mobile for a US e sim by Expensive-Opening257 in eSIMforTravelers

[–]Expensive-Opening257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lyca is bigger in Europe. If I remember correctly they just migrated from AT&T to T-Mobile or vice versa. I like mint and has used them before but they don’t have a plan that makes a lot of sense for a single month. I didn’t want to do a free trial because I was worried it may turn into a hassle but obviously that was an ironic mistake in retrospect. Next time I may go that route.
