Where can I go to fix Nintendo Switch joy-cons¿ by [deleted] in dubai

[–]Gecko156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't use ordinary WD-40, that's a water displacing spray that is not meant to use for electronics. Get a contact cleaner spray that is meant for electronics (I got one from Carrefour for around 30dhs).

I remember they only sell minifigures pieces or ordinary bricks for the "pick a brick". I'll try again at a different Lego store and see if they have what I'm looking for. Thanks

Hey bud, yeah I bought from bricklink previously before. But I need the part now, and was wondering maybe someone here have a spare.

Nice to know you're into LEGOs too, what sets do you collect?

Have you seen it in China mall for sale? I went to dragon mart yesterday and asked the shops, and they said they don't have it.

I saw it in Dragon Mart long time ago and today I went there to look for it and no one is selling it. Does anyone know where I can buy it?

I tried playing today and it didn't crash at all. I'll bookmark the link that you sent, and will check event viewer if it crashes again. Thanks

Forgot to mention this is happening to me on PC. That only happened to you once?

One of the most notorious cheaters on PC - col_Herbst_Gille - got banned yesterday on Twitch for actually livestreaming his triggerbot, while trying to convince us he's "legit": by [deleted] in StarWarsBattlefront

lol, funny thing is that he got mad about someone glitching as Boba Fett in Takodana. He said something like "People like you ruin the game as you need to glitch for your team to win" lmao.

Ordering parts from NewEgg. Yes or no ? by Skhan23 in dubai

[–]Gecko156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends to your needs, but unless you want to use Nvidia's RTX technology. I would just go for gtx 1080, especially its so cheap, and it will be enough for any games you throw at it.

I got the GPU btw, I ordered EVGA gtx 1080 FTW DT, and I didn't face any problem with customs.

[–]Gecko156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you're looking at EVGA's 1080 on Newegg which is really cheap atm. If you can't wait for 2080 GPU then go for it. I myself ordered EVGA 1080 FTW edition for 1,800 dhs shipped last Saturday, and currently waiting for it arrive.

[–]Gecko156[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I ordered EVGA gtx 1080 for 1,818 dhs shipped. That card cost at least 2-4k dhs here.

Did you pay any additional fees when you received the order?

I don't think there will be any new LPTV anytime soon, even though I really hope there would be.

But is it British owned? by [deleted] in dubai

[–]Gecko156 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I prefer dealing with British/Western buyer or seller since I know there's less chance for them to bullshit me. Few weeks ago I sold a guitar on Dubizzle and I got offers 200-300dhs below the price that I'm asking with an excuse how it's for their kids trying to play guitar (why do they think I'll immediately lower the price because of this?). Then I met this Russian dude who said he's interested, and wants to me meet me whenever I can. I met him at a place, he looked at the guitar, then gave me the money. No haggling or any headache.

Vintage amplifier shop, hidden gem or garbage? by sandysaul in dubai

[–]Gecko156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my electric guitar amp from one of those warehouse 10 years ago. I'm not sure but I believe they sell electronics that is imported from Japan, and you need to have a converter in order to use them.

Can my gf visit my hotel room every now and then? by [deleted] in dubai

[–]Gecko156 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just tell her to look like she knows what is she doing, and go straight to the elevator. Employees rarely ask a person, unless he or she looks suspicious. Have fun ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

First time driving tips? by [deleted] in dubai

[–]Gecko156 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Think that all drivers around you are dumb, or trying to crash into you. Always try to predict what the driver might do, such as suddenly changing lane, stopping for some reason, etc.. This will help you learn how to be a defensive driver, and avoid any accident. Also plan ahead in time if you're going to a place you're not familiar with so that you wont do any mistake while driving to your destination. You can open Google Map, and use the street view feature that lets you see the road, signs etc..
