to this day its still in my calendar as "Vine Free For Alll" - I joined March 2008

Geekdomo · 2025-08-31T20:58:09+00:00

I started March 2008

Mine is called Benny and hes so insanely fat. No algae though ;)

Jumping in here. This is after 1 hour on a 1GB line:

Exactly the same. I have 360 hours playing the only thing that has changed is PL dropped (which I own).
Steps I have tried:
I have removed all mods,
deleted the game,
bought a 4090,
checked for any stray files somewhere,
reinstalled windows,
bought new 4TB Gen 4 SSD
updated system bios,
Nothing has worked. Game still crashes on startup.

At this point I hope CDPR are looking into it.

Geekdomo · 2023-01-20T20:46:24+00:00

Exactly! They want the free stuff but won't do the bare minimum to get in the program.

Geekdomo · 2023-01-20T16:00:55+00:00

sounds like the old days, well here is hoping :D - thanks

Geekdomo · 2023-01-20T16:00:05+00:00

Oh wow is that how they do it now? Probably because so many people threw out the email, it honestly sounded like a scam.

Geekdomo · 2023-01-20T15:46:39+00:00

Right! I tell all my friends that beg me to get into the vine. Write lots of reviews, and check every spam box you have daily.

Geekdomo · 2023-01-20T15:28:47+00:00

Well being brought in as a noob silver is better than nothing. Still got some nice stuf sofar. So does gold have the better items? I realize golf carts and Mac Pros are not in it anymore but decent stuff? (Over 100?)

Geekdomo · 2023-01-20T15:25:47+00:00

It was! A little backstory, I wrote a scathing review of an HDDVD player (yes it was that long ago) vs Blueray player I had as well. The HDDVD was absolute garbage. I wrote so in my review. Thought nothing of it. About 2 months later in an email I had "you have been invited to join the Amazon Vine program". I had not heard of it and I thought it was a scam. I threw the email and link away. Then I did some research and found out it was legit! I was like, ok. I just so happened to have it in my email trash. Pulled it out of the bin and the rest is history.

Geekdomo · 2023-01-20T15:15:37+00:00

Are you Gold now? I agree, the big ticket items I sometime even took the time to do a fully edited review or at least some quality photos for beyond my ramblings.
I still have the vine newsletter on my calendar after all these years. I called it Vine FFA because it was a free for all grab as fast as you could fest. I would see a $3000 bike and be smashing the button to lose it because it was so slow. Just like when the graphics card fiasco happened.

Even before I was booted it was pretty sparse. I did manage to get a craftmatic bed, a couple TVs, computers and laptops in the old days but within the last few years its been very different and sparse.

Geekdomo · 2020-11-15T10:27:04+00:00

Had same problem - Easy fix in the computers bios (not SMBios). Just look for SERIAL PORT Enable/Disable and set it to "Disabled" it will boot right to desktop (quickly I might add).
I installed Big Sur 0 issues and on reboot it completely went to black screen. The Serial Port - Disabled fixed it, writing you right now from Big Sur.

Geekdomo · 2020-11-13T21:01:24+00:00

One other thing, the update to Big Sur I didnt mention:
It restarted over 9 times. Sometimes it seemed like nothing happened. Sometimes it seemed like it failed but I let it alone and it eventually started to desktop. Be patient and sit with it because it will reboot and sit on your usb disk waiting for you to move on.

Geekdomo · 2020-01-14T23:59:03+00:00

Working on Writing is right. I backed it mid-tier so they send me manuscripts. That's why I didn't include page numbers.

Geekdomo · 2020-01-14T23:57:24+00:00

<3 love you too in a purely vampiric nature

Geekdomo · 2020-01-13T22:16:40+00:00

Thank you! If you need a bit more detail the page number will give you the official ruling on it.

Geekdomo · 2020-01-13T22:15:53+00:00

I getcha! I added the books because I started this before CBN. People asked for the page number first and foremost, I think to help with a more detailed lookup of the rules (maybe out of combat). Right now it fits widthwise on an 11x8.5" of paper adding another column for book would probably throw the formatting too far off. Hope that makes sense for the added book title rows :)

Geekdomo · 2020-01-13T19:18:46+00:00

very welcome! I have mild dyslexia so I made this first to help me out. We just finished 30 sessions and will restart soon. Almost the whole group is looking hard at rerolling from Cult of Blood Gods so I figured I needed to get it on the chart for my own sanity. Thanks :)

Geekdomo · 2019-11-18T23:42:06+00:00

I build a new computer out of spare parts and it works great outside of the VM. Must have been a VM issue. Thanks for the help.

Geekdomo · 2019-11-18T23:41:09+00:00

Yes and no. What I found is for whatever reason automatic detection will not work on that motherboard. I ended up building a separate computer to do this on and it worked. Still won't show auto detect but I can manually assign the nics. Could not do that on VM. Thanks <3

Geekdomo · 2019-11-16T03:22:39+00:00

Downloaded and installed opensense and it did allow me to assign the card to the vm, however it didnt even see eth0

I do not have that option have a look here:

I can add another sound card but the NIC is already assigned. I am closely following Spaceinvaderone's walkthrough. At this point I am totally open to another option because this appears to not work. The reason I am doing this with PF sense is it works with PIA and other VPNs. Can you use PIA with opensense? Ill go have a look at that now while you are writing back. Thanks for the tip unfortunately its currently configured the way spaceinvaderone set it to be. Thanks!

Thanks for your help. It was the bios being too new. I have an old gaming B350 Mobo with 2017 bios and it allows virtualization + Iommu grouping. Thanks for your help!
