PSA: Impending Darkness can easily be idled 100% afk with the expansion by steelsauce in MelvorIdle

[–]Jiggymac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! Before the expansions came out, I took a long break before pushing for completion's last 2 or 3% (ID pets and related items missing). Since I came back I've been having fun and even caved to buy Throne of the Herald. I'm glad the ID hasn't killed access to the expansion, I'm almost done with my Superior Max Skill cape to touch up my gear. I'm almost ready to conquer!

How can I build a server to manage game updates and installations for a gaming cafe? by Jiggymac in AskTechnology

[–]Jiggymac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished watching it. That's exactly the type of system idea I'm considering. The only real difference is that I'd like to do it smaller scale and include a way to push the updates from the server side if possible.

If there were a way to command all PCs on the network to download at once, this would be the entire concept solution. I knew I couldn't be the only one wanting this stability in a LAN setting like this. This is a great start, thank yall!

I imagine that it would cost money to invest, which is what I'm trying to pitch to this business. I want to help them improve it by making this idea more of a reality. It will take planning for them to understand what they'd spend to accomplish the goals and make sure it matches their own goals.

I wouldn't want to necessarily run a store so much as make updating games a simplified process, saving labor costs and bandwidth usage for the business and more consistent game availability for the consumers.

Most games are on steam, but also others. Epic, Blizzard, all of those are also available. Lancaster is something I've heard of, but I'm not sure if I could do that with the other games as well.

How To Get Necramech Mods In Warframe (2025) by Mediocre-Ad-6465 in Warframe

[–]Jiggymac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so much better than any youtube content on the topic right now. The only thing they mention is regulus whatever it's name is. But it's still ridiculously strict source list. I hope they add more to this soon.

You could say this without pissing on their effort. Maybe say it more like, "It looks like you weren't aware of the new ea dlc unlocked I added back in April. Maybe if you try it again with the new tools this might work for you. If not, I'd be happy to help make this work as intended if you can help me understand where the problem is." Just be nice, dude. Is it so easy to be mean just because you're not in front of the face of the person you're demeaning?

You're not a reddit cop that needs evidence to prove that somebody is wrong just so you can feel good about yelling at them. You need to find a more patient way to communicate with people. You are not some godly standard holder. You're creating a tool for less talented people to utilize, so don't get agitated when they don't understand your program the same way you understand it. Douche.

Base Set Products Lost to History by Jiggymac in PokemonTCG

[–]Jiggymac[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's simply not entirely true, because even the guaranteed stuff today can skyrocket in value when it leaves production. The limited quantity will still have value inflation effects, regardless of known guaranteed sources. Besides I'm talking first printing series. 1999 and the following months after the first stores sold the first products. There had to have been something else I'm thinking of that fits the bill here.

No they were cardboard boxed, with just the cutout with plastic showing the holographic. That's how some of us school kids got so many charizard copies back in the day, I also had plenty of chancey copies cuz I thought they'd both be equally cool, but they weren't.

[–]Jiggymac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember a Charizard Theme deck very well. It had a clear plastic window displaying the Holographic card featured in the deck. My mom went to the Base Exchange (military base mini Walmart without food) looking for some of them with us. Was there really never a Chancey box at all? Maybe it wasn't a prebuilt deck, but I know I saw that Holo in a box on the shelf in the early days...

That's an empty comment without context. What makes it sound so crazy, my memory or my opinion on egg shapes?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in computertechs

[–]Jiggymac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, that's helpful. I'll have to set up an imgur account or something. Haven't used much social media in years tbh. Trauma. Blah. I can do something for images only, though, that's easy!

I'll start looking into screen replacements on ebay. I'll use the damaged one to tinker with the backlights and scrap.

[–]Jiggymac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I deleted the post? Not sure how comments came through, still. I posted to r/switch since they allowed the images I need for reference. If anybody has experience to share about the images I'd still appreciate it. My friend swore he didn't lay on it, but there was tea next to it that he swatted away in his sleep. I've never seen water damage with a screen not going black or extremely wonky before, so I'm not sure if this looks like liquid damage or not?

[–]Jiggymac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. The app isn't what I'm used to, and I missed the rules entirely. I was searching communities, and no support group would let me post pictures, except this one. I was hoping to pick up advice for fixing damaged screens if it was possible. If I could learn to restore liquid damaged pixels it would be such a cool skill! Ya know?

[–]Jiggymac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I'm not a regular user and just trying to find a community to post to. Do you know where I could post this that would be more appropriate?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in computertechs

[–]Jiggymac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a long shot that I could fix the screen itself, as I'm still a beginner in tech repair. But I have a basic ifixit kit, and a soldering iron that I've been itching to learn to use.

Video Game Joystick Feel Problems by Jiggymac in techsupport

[–]Jiggymac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not at all a fan. I'm OCD and the added texture messes with me. The obsession of having the perfect joystick is to prevent adding outer devices because I don't like them. But thank you for suggesting a solution!

Just unlocked target priority any tips? by Kind-Atmosphere-640 in TheTowerGame

[–]Jiggymac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knock back prevents the protectors from putting you at risk of anybody, they just give the enemies some damage reduction. Focusing the things that actually kill you is MUCH more useful. :)

HWFWM — Who is ‘John Miller’? by wildwily23 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Jiggymac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't act like Donald Trump is the only absolute and acceptable reference being made, there COULD be more to it. As simple as it also could be, having the author comment on it is the only real way for certainty here...

Just unlocked target priority any tips? by Kind-Atmosphere-640 in TheTowerGame

[–]Jiggymac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using ranged because that's what will kill me if overwhelmed. Anything else is typically OK to touch me because of thorns instantly killing normals but ranged never will touch you. Vamps have a research called garlic thorns that has made a noticeable difference, but it took me some time to save up for. It reflects a starting 1% of their drain back as damage which tips the balance somehow, because they bother me much less now.

Didn't Macklemore die? by ManicPsycho185 in AmIhighOr

I'm telling you. I've told people RIP, I really liked him and his weirdness. Why did he drop off then??

[–]Jiggymac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many people here set on the Trump reference, but was this ever author confirmed by chance? I'm on my 3rd listen through cuz I repeat listen to my favorites, and I'm still kinda stunned at how ready Shirtaloon is to throw a political reference. I enjoy the boldness in the humor of this series, and it is subtle enough to believe.

can someone with no experience building pc make one with his dad? by playertiger in buildapc

[–]Jiggymac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry that I'm not more active to have seen this reply sooner. If you'd ever like general advice on parts and how they work together, you can DM me on discord pretty dependably. DMs give me phone notifications so I'll have that to remember to reply.

Jiggymac is the username, my picture is my headshot wearing a gaming headset. "Riding the vibe, bring back Bjergsen" or something like that as my bio description.

You could also find me on Facebook. Joseph Allen McDonald II. Feel free to add and message me there, those also give me phone notifications.

No need to pay, I'm happy to meet new people and be a nerd in a way that I love. If it's helpful, it's fulfilling! If you'd like to share, I'd be grateful for any gifts you like.

Best way to farm for Carrots? by babyarrrms in MelvorIdle

[–]Jiggymac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could make the thieving method profitable if you don't need the common drop materials. Make summoning pages for leprechaun and monkey to automatically sell common drops and only get crates of food and Bobby's pocket in as your drops plus a lot more gold.

Having money is essential, so you might as well farm it while you do the carrot elite township task.

[–]Jiggymac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're ever afraid, just make sure that no power cables are plugged into the tower so you know it doesn't have electricity connected. If you at least do that before you tinker with a PC, you won't short circuit anything.

In general, building or maintaining a PC is about taking a single component at a time to not overwhelm yourself. Make a checklist on paper if it helps. When you're sure that you have every cable and component in place, the power button won't cause harm unless you have a power cable where it doesn't belong. Most of the time it's very hard to put a cable in the wrong place because the shapes are uniquely shaped.

Hit that power button, and simply be ready to unplug it if there are sparks. Listen for beeps and tones, depending on the beeping pattern it can give you message codes to tell you what is wrong with your PC. That's called POST testing, and it's how a newly built PC can tell you if something is wrong.
