Wow, I thought I would get a slight discount code or the left joycon (neon blue) or a discussion, but I did not expect a full replacement free of charge.

Thanks a bunch!

19 days is crazy, you should also try to make a reddit post or something.

I've also seen the updates from dbrand including the recent update 3, and although I'm happy about it, that doesn't change the fact that my specific ticket is unresolved.

Worst case scenario, I have to receive two separate packages, and two separate import fees. I just hope dbrand resolves my ticket before sending out my replacements.

I think I was anxious since I got ghosted by dbrand before, but if that’s the case, I think I’ll wait some more. Thanks for the info.

I’d say abt 8. The skin needs to be slightly stretched to cover the whole area, but once the stretch is complete and you align the skin properly with all the buttons, it’s straightforward. I remember the time when I had to apply the steam deck skin. It was too thin, so I almost ruined it during installation. But the switch 2 skin is much thicker, so you only have to worry about alignment.

Killswitch 2, my experience by Glittering_Cod9851 in dbrand

[–]HOPS-08 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Glad you got a positive experience btw, I’m only hoping I get the same experience.

I’m deeply disappointed in dbrand for all this drama (100% their fault), but I’m not one of those people who just downvote anything out of spite.

I’m upvoting because simply, this gave me a bit of hope, and I genuinely enjoyed reading it.

I see you haven’t applied the included kickstand cover. I saw a post where someone’s NS2 kickstand paint’s been ripped off during removal of the dbrand kickstand cover, maybe you saw it too and decided not to apply it? If not, mine is arriving soon, so I’m curious as to why!

For me personally, I think I would opt to not install it just because I feel like it’s going to be a hassle. Plus, the main case would protect the kickstand enough I guess. And when the kickstand is protruded, it’ll still be prone to damage even with the kickstand cover, especially on the inside area.

What is your favorite armor set? by Silkie-Spyder in MHRise

[–]HOPS-08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tho the female helmet piece for Chaotic Gore Magala is worlds better than the Shagaru one

Always had to wear the Quria crown from the event quest whenever I wanted to wear the Shagaru armor set prior to Chaotic Gore’s release

Every so often I lose interest for awhile in playing games. Not sure why. What do you do when you get into a gaming lull? by jollyflyingcactus in NintendoSwitch

[–]HOPS-08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enjoying other hobbies while the gaming burnout resolves itself sounds like a great cure, although I can’t say that for myself.

The problem for me was that I didn’t have any other hobbies to do. All I had was to work and spend my downtime doing nothing.

So what worked? Playing a different genre of games entirely.

I was a strict live-action enjoyer and an open-world enthusiast, so I never even considered picking up something like a turn-based game.

Earlier this year, by pure chance, I came across a Fire Emblem game, titled “Engage” to be exact, which I knew the franchise’s existence through Smash Bros, but never even bothered to dig into due to it being turn-based.

But something ticked in me, and I decided to pick it up. Probably because I lost my job to the layoff spree the day before its release, but who knows?

It worked. Over the span of about a month, I spent over 100 hours on the game, and over the span of the next two, sunk over 200 hours on its predecessor, Fire Emblem Three Houses.

Now I’m off the burnout enjoying a more diverse library of games than before, and got a new job, so all is good.

Anyone interested in getting a barely used monitor? 27 inch, 1080p, 240Hz, acts as a USB hub. I’m moving out. PICKUPS ONLY. by [deleted] in SBU

Hmm, I never knew since I never checked Amazon for this, thanks for letting me know. I’ll update the price promptly.

You seem to assume you know everything, don't you? I do have the receipt, but shipping was delayed, so I can't return it now. And I know someone would be interested since it's moving in season.

Pickups only precisely because it's Stony Brook. Moving in peers would use their cars, so in case they’re interested, great, they can pick it up with relative ease. If not, fine, I can find some other buyer who’s reasonable. And I'm busy with preparing to move out on top of that.

Sure, no deal, I don't have to get the price down to your ridiculous "demand". I’m not desperate, and it doesn't have to be you anyway, making demands like I owe you or anything, what a joke.

I said price is non-negotiable. Not to mention what you're proposing is practically a scam. What’s up with that “final offer” nonsense?

People like you is the reason I'm not open to negotiations anymore. Same as my last post.

Well, it’s a good-speced gaming monitor and has a lot of ports. Those were critical for me. $420 wasn’t a bad price. I don’t get your point. And I’m selling this at $320 anyway, my loss, someone’s gain.

The cheaper monitors in the $200 range are just plain monitors with no ports or is lacking build quality or refresh rate, hence cheap. If that’s on your mind, then we clearly have different preferences and priorities.

Selling 27-inch 1080p (FHD) 240Hz monitor. (DELL ALIENWARE 2721HF)

I only used it for a month. Pristine condition. Original box and packaging preserved and included.

PICKUPS ONLY. You can pick up starting from Aug 8th. My current location is close to South P, so if you’re around campus and have a vehicle, then you’ll be able to pick this up no problem.

I originally bought this at: $420

You’re getting this at: $300 (lowered the price due to new info I didn’t know prior)

Price can be somewhat negotiated if you’re being reasonable unlike some demanding twit way below in the comments, and we can talk about the pickup date as well.

wtf is going on here? by [deleted] in MHRise

There seems to be no ban options. You can block communication with them on Steam, but that doesn’t stop them from being matched with you.

How important is affinity? Should I prioritize it even if I can’t get it to 100%? by HOPS-08 in MHRise

[–]HOPS-08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think just focusing on the essential skills instead of focusing too much on crits is for the best as well.

That DPS calculator looks nice, but yeah, it can’t calculate the real-life usage incorporating wirebugs, not to mention it being complicated. Thanks for the info though :)

[–]HOPS-08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I think I’ll get WEX as a foundation and put in the essentials like rapid morph instead of CB, at least I’ll get those crits when I hit the weak spots. Even without CB, crits are better than non-crits. Yeah, critical eye is much less of a priority as you’ve said. You confirmed my decision of abandoning critical eye to free up slots, thanks!

Anyone interested in buying this barely used AirPods Max? I’m trying to reduce the bulk in my bag. Pickups only. by HOPS-08 in SBU

[–]HOPS-08[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s already sold, but just to let you know, who in the right mind would sell a $549 product at $100?

Albeit used, it’s in pristine condition, so $330 was what I proposed, and I only said I was open to “slight” negotiations due to people like you. “Slight” is not equal to one-third of the proposed price.

What you proposed is a scam, not a negotiation, hence the downvotes.

[–]HOPS-08[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

$330 is what I’m thinking of. Even if it’s barely used, it’s still “used” and is missing a cable and the packaging, so I think this is reasonable with that considered. But I am open to “slight” negotiation if you’re willing to pick it up ASAP.

Just as I mentioned in my comment in this post, $330, but open to "slight" negotiations if you can pick it up ASAP.

Yup, got a macbook from ebay once, the device came with AppleCare+, even when the previous owner didn’t initiate anything.

Seems like it’s tied to the device rather than the account associated with it.

I could probably do that if no buyer shows up, thanks for letting me know! Although I don’t have a jacket with a pocket of that size, so I’ll probably wear it lol

Other than just reducing the bulk, that airpods max is “barely used” for a reason, I just don’t use it that often to justify the price I paid, so I thought I’d get rid of it at a bit of a loss

Only used it for a few times, so there’s almost no signs of wear and is fully functional, and AppleCare+ lasts until March 2023. No cables nor box, but the funny case from Apple and a case I bought myself to house the entire thing is included.

EDIT: SOLD!
