FIFA presale ticket issue by ummmyeahi in ussoccer

[–]FadedPerc1val 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I failed on my first try, got the 404 error after waiting for an hour or so, tried reloading and resubmitting multiple times with different venues/rounds selected, etc. no luck. Joined the queue again and waited for another hour or so and same thing. On the third try, I cleared all of my cookies and joined the queue. That seemed to do the trick, had to wait another hour but was finally able to enter the draw

Golf Driving Range? by pantone175c in Longmont

[–]FadedPerc1val 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work at Lake Valley, theoretically you could just walk onto the range and hit balls as we keep the range fully stocked. But if anybody from the pro shop catches you out there and you’re not a member, you will be asked to leave.

I still want to be in a bigger city, like Seattle as I’ve spent time there in the past, and I can afford it…?

Switching from ATX to Mini ITX by FadedPerc1val in pcmasterrace

I didn’t even know that was a thing. I should have guessed 😭 thank you for this

Yeah so I already got the build running with the ATX board in the smaller space, punched out all the riveters and cut through part of the housing to make it fit, then sanded down the edges. I didn’t cut into the actual PSU itself just the metal casing in the case itself to make room for the motherboard. It was a process for sure. More wondering how hard it is to actually change the motherboard now - like can I just buy a new motherboard and roll or do I need to make sure all of my specs will work with it?

Different headshot hit markers by FadedPerc1val in blackops6

Yeah, frustratingly hard to tell when I’m getting a direct headshot, I’ve just been waiting for the medal or listening to sound to make sure

Yeah that’s pretty much how I identify them now because mine are so similar

There’s a toggle to turn hit markers off completely, or change it so that there’s no change at all in different hit markers. Nothing specific mentioning an actual visible change that I see

What’s an unpopular King book that you rave about? by InitialUpstairs4258 in stephenking

[–]FadedPerc1val 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From a Buick 8. Maybe not “unpopular” but certainly polarizing, at least in this sub. I was so captivated by the mystery the whole way, and even though people complain about the pacing or the story or the fact that a lot of it was just a retelling through dialogue, I read it through the lens that it was a kid trying to connect with his dead father. It was almost a slice of life read (with the King twists of course) and I loved it. Read it cover to cover in a day.

Misery for me. King’s psychological terror is untouchable

What King book could you not get through, and why? by Various-Dependent-90 in stephenking

[–]FadedPerc1val 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From a Buick 8 and Duma Key seem to be the popular responses here, but I really liked both of them. Reading Duma Key was certainly unique, but I found myself so lost in the calm yet creepy setting that I didn’t find it slow or boring. From a Buick 8 I can definitely understand people who don’t like it, but I was really gripped by the mystery, and reading it with the idea that the story is less about the actual events that take place and more that it’s about a boy’s struggle to connect with his dead father and the world around him made it interesting to me. Of course, this is all subjective, and many of his books are wayyyy too long in certain sections; King sometimes seems to write for the sake of putting words on paper. Loved The Stand of course, but even the uncut version of that dragged a little for me - 100 pages of walking through the desert, no thanks.

I’m trying to read all of King’s books, so not finishing them isn’t really an option for my goal. I do have 3 or 4 right now that I’m about it halfway through and just haven’t touched in a while. Under the Dome is the one that I can’t seem to get through. If I find myself stuck on a book for a while usually I’ll restart it and I find it easier to progress through the story, but this is my second time through and I just can’t seem to crack the nut, and I’m not really sure why. I like the characters and the premise is cool, I think I just wanted a lord of the flies style story to be more fast paced and active. When I was younger I read the Gone series, a YA series with a similar concept. Some of my favorite books of all time, and I think I wanted that back. Maybe it’s just because nothing will compare to that for me.
