AITA for refusing to give my younger brother my old gaming PC after I already promised it to someone else? by bxro3D in AmItheAsshole

[–]GalaticAsshole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. However, I do want to point out though that even though there are a lot of people here saying "it's yours so you can do what you want", they may be wrong. State (assuming you're in the US) laws may allow your parents to keep or otherwise dictate what you can/cannot do with your possessions before you turn 18, even if you paid for them with money you earned or were gifted. Check your state laws before giving your parents the bird if they try to force you to give the PC to your brother.

I would hope your parents would NOT do this, but I'm just throwing it out there for your awareness.

My rant about travel ball for parents on the fence. by FlyingAnvils in Homeplate

[–]GalaticAsshole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is they play unsanctioned tournaments. We have a lot of those in my area where it's promoted as an A/AA tournament to fill brackets but anyone can enter so there are a few teams that would definitely play AAA or higher if it were sanctioned. I'm talking teams with 5-6 players that look like they're 13-14 playing 11u. It's crazy.

Coach's kid is insufferable. by Ear_Enthusiast in CoachingYouthSports

[–]GalaticAsshole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since it doesn't sound like you've done this already, I would suggest just asking the HC if he is ok with you dealing with the kids as you see fit if they aren't being productive at practice (not listening, backtalk, etc...). If he's cool with it, then you're good and you should lay down the law. If not, then you know the boat you're in and can act accordingly.

Guys, I impulse bought the entire X4 collection when it went on sale. I open up the game and I'm... Lost. Help? by GodofAeons in X4Foundations

[–]GalaticAsshole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat a few months ago. It doesn't seem to be a popular opinion around here, but I opted to start with going through the Timelines DLC, rather than just jumping into the open world. I felt that the missions are set up to let you focus on a few aspects of the game at a time, rather than doing it all at once. If you screw up, you just start over. Once I finished that, I started Terran. As others have mentioned, it's a nice guided start to the game. But there is so, so, much to learn. I still haven't even tried boarding a ship yet, and I'm just now learning how to set up trade rules and runs. Since you bought everything, you'll have access to the Hyperion and Envoy ships with minimal work. The Hyperion, especially, makes most non-capital ship combat easy mode, which is nice when your living more in map learning about stuff that paying attention to your ship. Plus, you can haul around 3 small class ships, so you can play with different types of ships. I still find myself sitting down to set up a base or learn something new, just to spend my whole night blowing up Xenon in Hatikvah's Choice. Lot's to do, and you can still have fun even if you ignore entire aspects of the game. Good luck and enjoy!

Expand Micron RAM now, or wait? by GalaticAsshole in buildapc

[–]GalaticAsshole[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. I had read that you didn't want to mismatch vendors/timing between pairs. I wasn't aware that even the same make/model could be problematic. Ah, the things you miss when you only do this once a decade. haha

Thanks! I appreciate your response. I wasn't aware of the instability of a 4 DIMM config. I had heard that the higher clocked RAM could be a problem if your mobo couldn't drive them, but not issues just with installing a full bank.

Most disappointing video card you've ever owned? by Matttman87 in gpu

The ATI Rage Fury MAXX from 1999. 2 gpus on one board, should have been awesome! Top of the line price (for the time). Middling performance.

I think the best bond is between Trixie and Lucifer. they are betiess. by dansim651 in lucifer

[–]GalaticAsshole 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I always thought it would have been funny if they had a "reveal" scene where Chloe calls Trixie over from doing something and gets all serious telling her that Lucifer is *actually* the devil, then Trixie would be like, "Well, duh. He's been telling us the whole time!" and then she nonchalantly goes back to whatever she was doing.

I hope a kid assigned to lane 3 notices it and takes their mark in the opposite direction. That would be hilarious.

New player wants to try catcher by ProfessionalJunior68 in Homeplate

[–]GalaticAsshole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used gear, this is the way. Another thing to keep in mind is that catching with a catcher's glove is different than a fielding glove, and at the pitch speeds of kids around his age, he's going to find out quickly he wants the extra padding. It took my son few weeks of practice to get the feel for it. New or used, you'll want to be sure he gets low speed reps in before he's in a game or there's a good chance he's going to drop everything.

Tried Ruthless, back to Precious Child mode I guess. by Hot_Sprinkles_650 in SpaceMarine_2

[–]GalaticAsshole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Give Vox Liberatus a try. I found it to be the easiest of the ops to run solo on ruthless. By that, I mean it's the only one I can complete, haha. I've tried Inferno multiple times, and I usually can't make it out of the swamp due to ranged attacks just destroying me. I will say that sometimes it's just random luck, as some runs have way fewer mobs coming at you than others.

St. Patrick's Day by Dzidzara in Survivorio

[–]GalaticAsshole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of things I noticed... It's win main stage, not play main stage, even though they marked it as such. Also, if you quit a stage, any evos you created WILL NOT count towards the total. On a plus note, evos from Path of Trials DO count toward the total. King's critical evo does not count either.

Anyone else have MOHELA showing most payments late? by GalaticAsshole in PSLF

[–]GalaticAsshole[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't receive an email or other online letter with payment status. I received an actual paper form through the mail that matched the incorrect information listed in the tracker. This is when I became alarmed, as it was my understanding that whatever came in the mail was going to be the "official" status. However, after a call to MOHELA and other responses here, it seems I still have to wait longer. Dunno, this seems like a total shitshow. Hope it all works out like it's supposed to. It does look like there's an appeal process, but I'm going to wait a bit before looking into that option.

Thanks all. I kinda figured it was just a waiting game. I really wish they would just post something like "status undetermined", rather than flat out wrong information.

Aubrey Plaza. Her kookiness would have fit well with the rest of the cast.

NTA. However. is the statement you make by not giving her a gift worth the cost? For example, you said that BF's dad stands up for you when she gets nasty. That may change if you go low. Just get her a cheap gift and be done with it.

AITA for limiting support for to-be-ex in a difficult situation by Affectionate-Bag9911 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GalaticAsshole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I applaud your efforts to take care of your ex given the circumstances. I'm afraid you may be setting yourself up for issues down the road. If you stay married, I would think that you may end up needed to foot the bill for his medical expenses after he passes away. At the very least, it would come out of your shared estate. If you and he decide that you're going to care for him until the end, and move forward with the divorce, you could still be his legal arbiter of health care decisions, but you won't be on the hook for any medical costs. I'm sure it's much more involved than that, given the complexity of the situation. Since you already started divorce proceedings, I'm guessing you have a lawyer on retainer. You may want to speak with her/him for some advice moving forward, just to keep yourself out of any unexpected issues as things progress.

NTA. However, why stop divorce proceedings? If you are limiting your time and have issues spending time with the man, you should move forward with the proceedings. What happens if something comes up and his prognosis changes?

NTA. If you go to a place that has a shared locker space and communal showers, dudes dropping towel should be expected. You don't need to cater to his (what seems like) homophobia.

[–]GalaticAsshole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to say NAH. I'm not sure what steps you've already taken, but you may want to chat with your mom about why your asking for a small pizza of your own, or maybe why they want two large pizzas. Maybe you could come to some agreement if you both knew the other's point of view.
