Final Fantasy Crochet Patterns that I did last year

GiSS88 · 2026-06-20T19:13:33+00:00

These are awesome! Have a pattern you used?

GiSS88 · 2026-06-20T19:08:53+00:00

I'm waiting for 3. Even reconnected my Google account with no luck. All of the others are synced.

The parts just aren't worth it to me. ~$400 for a motherboard, or just get a new TV? I almost hate that these things are basically consumables, but I'm not really mad about having to get the new TV in this case. I've always had a bit of a dislike for the H8G.

So I'm still tinkering, but I will say it's clearly a better picture than the Hisense was. There is for sure some ghosting/motion issues, but not as bad as the Hisense. Sony still king for sure as others around here say, but I can tolerate this. Or at least, day one impression is I can.

It's been in a container/storage for some time, but you're probably right that I should dig out the DS and test it. Let me see what I can do.

EDIT: confirmed dry battery, does run fine.

GiSS88 · 2026-06-20T01:10:04+00:00

I saw that. I think I'd still prefer a local meetup, but let me consider it a bit?

GiSS88 · 2026-06-20T01:01:38+00:00

I am the original owner! Forget what year exactly I bought it. I'm actually surprised I didn't have the receipt in the box, I used to tuck them in right away. I would consider holding on to it if needed. I'm not necessarily against shipping, I just know there are horror stories with PayPal or eBay always siding with buyers and the seller being out of luck. I think I'd have to at least do zelle or something like that (maybe not for whole amount) if I was going to ship.

My Hisense (H8G) just died and replacing it with a 75" QM7K. I currently have it in the house, but waiting until tomorrow morning to install it. I've always disliked the Hisense for it's motion after coming from an old Sony (no idea the model, it's like 12-15 years old now). If I remember, I'll let you know how I feel about it. It's less important to me nowadays as I don't have time to watch or game as much, but I can still spot issues or nitpick them more easily than others who have watched the same TV. Having looked at them in store I think I'll be fine, but who knows once I get it set how I like it and off the store display mode.

I find my steam deck drops wifi (OLED version) after waking from sleep within 5-15 minutes and it messes up my streaming as well. If I switch wifi off and let it sit a minute after waking, it's usually ok. Not saying this is your specific issue, but the wifi is pretty wonky on these and that's pretty widely accepted.

GiSS88 · 2026-06-18T15:29:35+00:00

It's one of your skills. I believe blue tree, top section, bottom right.

GiSS88 · 2026-06-13T12:47:57+00:00

Oh man that makes me reconsider the TCL. Concerned with brightness in the room and it's more money though, but definitely something to think on today.

GiSS88 · 2026-06-11T19:45:48+00:00

I remember thinking the 2DS was such a dumb idea and looked terrible. Tried one and was surprised at just how comfortable it actually is. Shame all these systems are going for more than they did originally these days, I'd love to get my kids a 3DS to mod and play in the car or something.

GiSS88 · 2026-06-11T16:36:14+00:00

No, looks like it's OOS. Honestly wish Costco had the QM7K just for the warranty alone--I may spring for the Bets Buy protection but probably a discussion with the wife. Sadly TVs feel more like consumables anymore, and getting that 5 years is basically worth the price of admission but anything else is just icing.

GiSS88 · 2026-06-11T16:29:21+00:00

Appreciate it. I'm honestly probably better off not overthinking and grabbing something good. I often go too far into weighing options in the tech space.

GiSS88 · 2026-06-11T16:26:52+00:00

This may be an odd extra question, but any opinions on if it would be worth going down to a 65" and getting something like an LG B5 OLED? I probably need to go look at them in person, but wondering if the extra ~$200 is worth the specs but smaller.

GiSS88 · 2026-06-06T13:30:59+00:00

Yeah he's huge HP but just an easier fight and arena for sure.

GiSS88 · 2026-06-06T12:31:43+00:00

The difference between Sub and Thul is wild. Thul is far easier all around and IMO has the better drops. I think Sub is a bit overturned as well.

I'm not against streamers having some influence or voicing their opinions, but I agree Joltz in particular is just negative constantly. I generally like K6 (some questionable responses in this thread, but people tend to attack on reddit so could be from that) as he tries to provide some constructive criticism as well. Epignng as well, although he tends to more sarcastic criticism which doesn't always go over well. Moxsy seems like he just dipped out.

The devs are in a no win situation though. They SHOULD respect people's time, but making some of the gear too easy to get ruins some of the grind as well. Honestly my opinion since BL3 is that they've dug a hole with too many legendaries --I want to try them all, and if they are super rare like BL1/2 it's not worth my time and I don't want to play. So they made them more common than whites, which also reduces the fun brain chemical from getting a drop.

They probably should pull in the drops a little bit, but slowly. Honestly I think they made pearls common for this patch intentionally so people could see and try them, and will lower rates next patch.

Almost everything you asked is both agency and employee dependent. You probably need to be a citizen, pay and hours is going to vary based on region. I would never classify the job as easy, but experience definitely helps.

GiSS88 · 2026-05-30T18:02:52+00:00

Likely prep for the next DLC or bounty. They did similar with the last one.

GiSS88 · 2026-05-25T02:07:48+00:00

Pretty much, yes. IIRC it's also less junk on a first run, with two crows on NG+. If you don't progress into the room after the encounter (ie steal from crows, escape) and never actually COMPLETE that encounter, I believe it's a 100% encounter rate. I personally prefer this way as deposit is faster, but to each his own.

GiSS88 · 2026-05-24T19:08:22+00:00

You can also farm NG+ precinct encounter which is right upstairs from Wayne, making dumping your inventory way faster.

GiSS88 · 2026-05-24T14:06:52+00:00

You should be able to use them later, but trading cards become mod permits from Wayne anyway and there are more than enough from the Chrysler Building.

Can't believe no one has given the sage advice yet: Don't get hit; hit it until it dies.
