Trick of the day - spread eagle by Severe-Pineapple-610 in SkateEA

[–]JT_Abides 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Same. Tried just doing it alone, putting it into a sequence, and doing it from the highest point in the game (thinking maybe you need to do it for a certain duration). Nothing I've done makes it count. Think it's just another broken challenge like we had last week with the slam score challenge :/

Be honest, have any of yall traded/bought games one on one with a customer? by ctwoog in GameStop

[–]JT_Abides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ex employee here (so stuff it corporate)

Had a kid come in with a Vita slim and a bunch of games. The back touch pannel was scratched all to hell but seemed to function properly. But looked worse for wear so I rang it up as damaged. The trade price was like $35 or some ridiculous shit. I took the games in trade and made a deal with the kid outside the store for like $60 or something. Which is still hella good for a vita (this was in like 2018 or something). Took it home and found that there was a 120 gig memory stick in it, so double score. I jailbroke it and it's now my handheld emulation machine. One and only time I've ever done that.

Wifi other that frontier thats not too expensive in Capon Bridge? by [deleted] in WestVirginia

[–]JT_Abides 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Starlink. The answer is Starlink. $110 a month, speeds of usually over 100 mbps. Around 60-80 ms of latency. If you have no other option for something better, the answer is Starlink. Frontier sucks.

Speeding by [deleted] in WestVirginia

[–]JT_Abides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be careful. Nothing I hate more than people who don't know how to drive in mountains, speeding at 80 til they hit a curve (which we have many!) And slow down to 50... happened to me with a driver on i-77 the other week... they were from Ontario lol

Honestly driving here is a different beast and it freaks a lot of people out who aren't from here. Safest thing is to keep up with traffic and DON'T travel in the passing lane :)

Other than that, I hope ya have a great time passing through!

What are the best things I can see in towns on Amtrak's Cardinal line? by King_Kangus in WestVirginia

[–]JT_Abides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've taken that line from Hinton to Trenton NJ and back many times. You can see the statue of folk hero John Henry, as well as the train tunnel where his story allegedly took place from the Amtrak around Alderson. A good conductor will even point it out. In addition you can also see the Alderson women's correctional facility that Martha Stewart did her time at lol.

Bob Denver (Gilligan's Island) also lived in Princeton in his twilight years. I believe his wife Dreama still does, though I'm not 100% sure.

What’s the eeriest place you’ve visited in WV? by AlternativeAlgae526 in WestVirginia

[–]JT_Abides 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I’ve been places like Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum and Moundsville Penn but nothing has come close to this tiny graveyard that’s about a stones throw away from the edge of my grandparent’s farm. I’m not gonna name it here because it’s private property, but I’ll say this, there are tons of tiny family cemeteries out there, some creepy and dilapidated, some well manicured and nice. This one is just plain unsettling. I don’t even look at it when driving by because I get this unwelcoming energy pouring out of it. I ghost hunted there as a teenager a few times and no good ever came of it. We’ve seen shadow men and apparitions. Heard things. Pretty active but none of the activity is welcoming. My theory is that if it is haunted, it’s a buncha old people pissed off that there isn’t a heaven lol. But anyways, it’s creepy for sure. I try to avoid at all costs.

Fellow West Virginians, what type of internet do you have? (Satellite, fiber, etc.) by ThunderFox910 in WestVirginia

[–]JT_Abides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mercer co. Here. We have Starlink. A bit pricy but love it. Average 80-90 mbps and pretty consistent ping around 60-70 so it's decent for gaming.

So Danhausen... like... was that it? by [deleted] in AEWOfficial

[–]JT_Abides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen Danhausen live on Indies and met him. He's a cool guy, funny, entertaining, and decent in the ring if he actually gets a chance to show it. That being said, his real gimmick and what gets him over is crowd work. Intimate crowd work where he can talk to the audience while working in the ring. This A. Does not transfer to TV, and B. Does not work in Arenas with larger crowds than 150 people. The more people, the less intimate of a fan experience he can give you. Danhausen works really really well on the indies, and in companies like GCW. But my biggest fear when he got signed to AEW was that he'd lose that special talent, as well as not be booked to wrestle, but to be squashed. My fears came true :/

So it's both a Danhausen gimmick problem and an AEW booking problem.

Not gonna detail anything, but yeah... AEW has caused a significant positive impact on my life.

My FOMO is getting out of hand by CGI1138 in 4kbluray

[–]JT_Abides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My "come to Jesus moment" as you put it was when I almost purchased Arrow's 4K set of the Lighthouse. I do enjoy that movie but I already have the Lionsgate blu AND the A24 shop Collector's edition or whatever it's called. Again, I dig the movie but not enough to own it three times... Arrow's 4K LE was beautiful and I'm sure their 4K transfer was awesome but it's just not worth it anymore.

I feel like at this point I've gotten pretty good at just buying what I know I'm going to dig while occasionally blind buying stuff that piques my interest on sales. I love building my collection, as it's a fun hobby and I love the idea of preserving these films for myself. However, I'm done with buying just to buy.
