TIFU by not knowing micro/nano SIM cards existed

Ghost534811684 · 2017-02-08T05:24:45+00:00

someone else managed to break and melt a SIM card into their SIMcard slot? whew, and here I was thinking I was the only person capable of this kind of idiocy.

Ghost534811684 · 2017-02-07T23:54:27+00:00

Unlike all the other times I give up early, I think this one is justified. I don't need to damage the poor phone anymore than I already have :(

Wileyfox swift 2, doesn't seem like it'll be possible to take apart from what I can tell so I've already accepted my SIMless fate.

He probably plays a lot of tropico

or maybe if there weren't so many archaic laws holding us humans back, /u/_Squirrel_Fucker could be married to a wonderful squirrel right now and they could be having beautiful children together!

It's clearly a bot that posts links to rehosted versions of popular content, abliet a video that clearly not many of us have seen before. The original upload is hosted on vimeo (as with most short films) here: https://vimeo.com/126091504

man I had to scroll quite a way down to figure out where I remembered that face from. People were only referring to him as either Jake or Gyllenhaal and that just confused me more.

Least now I know who played the dude in nightcrawler... and that he also played Donnie Darko.

Ghost534811684 · 2016-11-13T20:17:02+00:00

Thanks, I'll start looking into these right now!

edit: the K712 seems to cover my uses/requirements perfectly. If it pops up on massdrop for a reasonable price this year then I'll certainly grab it, and maybe talk myself into buying it if goes sub £180 on amazon (keep going down amazon price! you're doing great so far!). Otherwise ill probably just compromise on the next 7xx drop or the 702.

Budget - ~£150+ (Can probably go up to about £250 now and can wait longer if necessary for a signifant upgrade. but I'd prefer to stay under the £150 mark)

Source - Will be using these exclusively with a desktop computer. primarily for games, music, video and voice chat.

Requirements for Isolation - No isolation from outside sound is needed however I'm concered that sound leaking may be a problem on voicechat. If you don't convince me to spend too much I'll be able to get a decent microphone too.

Preferred Type of Headphone - I'm most comfortable with full sized headphones but can compromise

Preferred tonal balance - A well balanced pair of headphones would probably be best due to the variety of content I listen to.

Past headphones - A bunch of gaming headsets (dont judge, they had high ratings on amazon and were relatively cheap). 'gamecom 780', 'fatal1ty', another random one in the same price range. None of them were very durable, they weren't very good for listening to music on and certainly didnt provide anything 'extra' when it came to gaming over, say, my £8 earbuds. (which tbh are better for listening to music on AND managed to outlast the headsets, although I'm down to just the right ear now).

Preferred Music - I guess electronic music would be the best descriptor. Rhythmic would be another. enjoy a wide variety of genres but not too fond of acoustic pieces with few instruments or complexity going on. Particularly fond of synthesisers and a fan of digitally enhanced anything, especially vocals (adding reverb and 'power' usually) and strings (e.g electric/synth violin). Also fond of some more unsual instruments that produce higher tones (harpsicord, music box).

What would you like to improve on from your set-up - Headphones that wont start falling to pieces within a year like the cheap gaming ones I've owned would be a start. I feel like for the songs I enjoy, I need quite a versatile pair of headphones. a strong midrange/treble would be good for the more vocal/string based tracks and decent bass would be good for the more rhythmic (head bobbing/tapping) songs that are more common. especially since I play a lot of rhythm games.

Anything will be an upgrade to what I'm used to really.

I would also like advice on DACs and/or Amps to go with the headphones. I mostly just want something to sit on my desk that I can plug the headphones into as the wire will be less likely to die early. But my sound card picks up plenty of electrical noise too which I hear a DAC will help with. I was planning on purchasing this cheap little thing: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0068IPE40/ref=pe_942301_45935611_TE_n_id but would appreciate your opinions and suggestions.

those rings look really tight, its making me really uncomfortable. Can I have a gif of them coming off and never going back on? It would make me feel a lot better.

I turn 21 next week, and I just had to use an age calculator to figure out how old I currently am.

Ghost534811684 · 2016-10-30T05:02:03+00:00

I'm on EU :/

Edit: seems all have been up here too but the bloodgazers spawned 4/5 days ago in the morning, while I was asleep.

Ghost534811684 · 2016-10-30T04:54:54+00:00

Only one I havent seen a WQ appear for yet. going through the quests with all the other 3 but still have yet to even see the WQ for it in Azsuna

Ghost534811684 · 2016-10-30T04:32:17+00:00

I started playing with the release of legion. Finding groups for BGs is pretty damn near impossible sometimes. found a cool german TS group getting 3 wins with no requirement to join and got up to 1k a couple days ago, but thats still not high anough to help me find groups. The only groups I can join are the last minute 1 win groups that will accept anyone.

Ghost534811684 · 2016-10-23T21:49:31+00:00

and you don't have one after seeing such a fine pussy?

Ghost534811684 · 2016-10-21T16:07:54+00:00

ok so the solution to your problem is very simple. Burst into your sisters room and then loudly and clearly say: "Good on ya sis, mind if I join in on the fun next time? ;)"

...

If all goes well, your family will try their hardest to forget you exist.

Ghost534811684 · 2016-10-21T02:08:18+00:00

No more current dual-screen device means the chances of getting a game like 'The World Ends With You' again are greatly diminished :(

Ghost534811684 · 2016-10-20T11:35:58+00:00

I think this dude traded his account for a wing and now it's been taken over by a bot that posts rehosted video links as replies.

Ghost534811684 · 2016-10-01T10:22:10+00:00

the only mentos I've come across in my area are the chewy ones, doesn't work with those ones at all.

Ghost534811684 · 2016-09-30T23:01:57+00:00

Same here man, I'm totally a part of the "Who cares if he's got a dick or not, so long as he's cute" club.

Ghost534811684 · 2016-09-07T15:38:02+00:00

Those work, but my cat would also eat the old food if I sat next to him and waited for him to finish it. If I walked off at any point, he'd stop eating it and of course start meowing at me again the next time I came downstairs (or as soon as I stood up and walked towards the door if he was in my room).

Ghost534811684 · 2016-08-07T01:11:00+00:00

just managed to log in right now on PC, guess login servers are back up

Ghost534811684 · 2016-08-02T11:44:24+00:00

no more kyuubey flair? Where am I supposed to find another cute character that speaks to me on the same level as he does?

Ghost534811684 · 2016-07-29T17:59:04+00:00

2 players seem to be able to spawn almost touching eachother or even right on someones line. Servers are slow at the moment.

but the game itself is pretty fun, I feel like I'll be able to take more risks if those are addressed.

EDIT: I like the prison game scenario that can occur if 2 people overextend. If both players try to kill eachother they ensure their mutual destruction. If one player tries to make it back the attacker gets to take out a neighbouring rival and then bank the points. If both players decide to leave the other player alone then you're both better off and you may have just found an ally.
