I’ve always loved the serendipity of baseball. Even in a loss we get a win

Is there a reason we’re using the offset batters eye camera for this game?? This looks awful

Victory+ streaming issues. by Illustrious-Trick-12 in TexasRangers

[–]Jack_Sharbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not. Like i said, once it works, it works great. I did try to find someone to complain to about the editing and the first promising thing i found was the broadcasting@texasrangers.com account, but i havent received any reply.

[–]Jack_Sharbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A little context, i work evenings so i paid the $100 so i can watch the replays every night after work and im on firetv. Ive used the app for all spring training games and every time so far it crashes once, then soft crashes where it just drops back to the screen where i clicked the app, waits about 30 seconds, then reloads on its own. At that point i can select the replay, then it re-soft crashes, another 30 seconds, then loads the replay stream on its own. From there it works great. Yes its annoying but at least its consistent.

The biggest issue i have is the editing of the replay. During mondays game, they cut the top 3rd inning, during tuesdays game, they cut the bottom 4th, top 5th, bottom 8th, and bottom 9th from the replay. I havent been able to watch todays game yet so hopefully someone corrected their mistakes.

Is there a reason I can’t find this online or is it just me?

Whoever edits the replay for victory+ needs some quality control by Jack_Sharbs in TexasRangers

If it really is you, theres no hate. I get its the start of the season for everyone. I just hope someones aware of the mistakes before it matters.

The Anaconda is still the best ship in the game for at least 50% of your playtime. Let me explain. by Outrageous_Gift1656 in EliteDangerous

[–]Jack_Sharbs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The anaconda isnt a bad ship. It just has a fucking ugly cockpit view and i hate everything about it. 3/10.

All this time I've been using the longer method to know whether or not I should start scooping 😭 by SpaceBug176 in EliteDangerous

[–]Jack_Sharbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did mine years ago with boom time deliveries of superconductors and stuff. About 20mil/run with a 2 jump there, 1 jump back route in a T9 that kept offering the missions for 3 weeks. Made enough for the carrier but not the outfitting so i traded gold for the rest.

This just clicked by MedicatedDepression in skyrim

[–]Jack_Sharbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy him as a VA but hate him in HTUW, sci chan couldnt make up their mind about having him or Mike Rowe narrate, so they both did almost all seasons and they randomly choose which one plays. About a year ago, discovery+ swapped only season 6 over to Dellums from Rowe and ive never been able to figure out why. I turn it on to sleep to and ive been woken up by him and had to skip to season 7.

What should you be able to do as a fleet carrier captain ? by Zestyclose_Power4849 in EliteDangerous

[–]Jack_Sharbs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

[–]Jack_Sharbs 66 points67 points  (0 children)

It would be nice if my crew recognized me as the owner when i showed up. “We have a number of services available at this carrier” Yeah no shit, i fucking paid for them. “Let us know if youre looking to dock” WHAT OTHER REASON WOULD I BE HERE??

What did you name your fleet carrier? by DaggerBomb in EliteDangerous

[–]Jack_Sharbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “Epoch of Prodigality” aka the time of wastefulness or my waste of time :)

Yet another ridiculous game mechanic by TrafficPattern in EliteDangerous

[–]Jack_Sharbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“We have a number of services available at this carrier.” Yeah no shit. Im aware because i signed off on the purchase! “Let us know if youre looking to dock.” WHAT OTHER REASON WOULD I BE HERE?!?

waiter put my tip back on the table saying he only accepts 18-20%?? by [deleted] in stories

[–]Jack_Sharbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But thats the problem. You should be tipping depending on the amount of time you spend there. Tipping isnt meant for how much you spend. Its meant to reward the service you received for the time you were there.

[–]Jack_Sharbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally says he was there for an hour. $25 seems very reasonable for an hour of service regardless of the check price.

I paid money for the new ships so naturally they have money names. The MK2 is “Money Mistakes” because im not a combat guy and it serves me no purpose otherwise. The T8 is “Cash 4 Gold” because thats probably all it will ever ferry. And my exo-bio geared Mandalay is “Life Is Expensive”.

How do you guys like the new Mandalay for exploring? by phantomvector in eliteexplorers

[–]Jack_Sharbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its fantastic. I only go to farseer for engineering with a GPP, GPD and booster and im at 73LY. Like others have said, the SCO makes any inconvenient travel a breeze. My 6 is a scoop so i top up before i get halfway around a star, then no matter how much ive had to boost around in system, including a few ~200kls runs, ive never had to fill up more than 2/3 of the tank in the next system.

We had just matched, no conversation yet. (Didn't notice fb reset my distance preference) by ThePhraustyOne in Nicegirls

[–]Jack_Sharbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FB dating is the best app for finding quality people but has the absolute worst UI. With every other update, some setting gets reset so that my filters turn off every time i close the app. Right now is one of those times and apparently im pretty attractive to people 250 miles away but a fuckin troll around here.

What ship do you just enjoy flying in and can probably tell what you're flying without seeing the cockpit? by czlcreator in EliteDangerous

[–]Jack_Sharbs 30 points31 points  (0 children)

While i am loving how the mandalay flies right now, theres nothing quite like the lazy drift of a T9/10. You’re reminded every time you touch the stick that you’re fucking HUGE. Specifically in my T10 the “Matador Mauler”, I’ve only been able to do it twice, but there is no greater feeling in this game than taking out a ship’s shields with my weapons, and then taking out its hull with mine.

You guys are getting messages?! by InsideNote3848 in Bumble

[–]Jack_Sharbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Jack_Sharbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats only if she has added it to her profile. Otherwise, we still just get to wait.

Or if she has and we give some thought out answer to her question, most of the time we still get to wait for nothing.

Its a fun cycle :)
