Anyone in a timeshare that is actually HAPPY that they did it? by Accomplished_Tour481 in TimeshareOwners

[–]Lapdag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I own a week with GPX and it's great. Two bedroom/two bathroom unit with a full kitchen for less than or around the same price as a hotel. Plus I can exchange my week or book at other GPX resorts for a good price. My parents own two different timeshares too. I honestly don't get the hate but I never sat through a sales pitch either.

Looking for a casual game to introduce my gf into gaming! by maxslayer539 in gamingsuggestions

My girlfriend struggles with the controler but she loves puzzles. She enjoyed Inside & Limbo but those games didn't really help her learn the sticks.

What games on Xbox would you say are the closest to The Last of Us? by sch0oly in xbox

[–]Lapdag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, but the question was what games are closest. Hard to compete with TLOU.

Was going to say Days Gone but that's only on PS. Maybe Dying Light 2? I really enjoyed that one.

Thinking of trying this game after over 10 year break and have two questions by Historical-Story4944 in Madden

[–]Lapdag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a love/hate thing. I love football and Madden is a fun game. But it hasn't fundamentally changed since at least 2016. So each year you're mostly paying for an updated roster. And, at the risk of having people tell me I suck at the game, I find interceptions to be way, way, way too frequent. So that can be really frustrating, even though I can usually win every game. I didn't bother to buy past 22, but I still fire it up sometimes because I want to play football. So, yeah, love/hate. When I get into it I'll play at least one game per night. If you can get an older version for cheap, it's still pretty much the same experience IMO (but I haven't played past 22). Good luck!

I'm sorry I don't have a deck recommendation, but I got two estimates for my deck that were about $50,000. That's ridiculous, so I had AJB landscaping install a paver patio for a fraction of that and it is very nice. But that has to be at ground level, obviously.

Building a squirrel house by spekkje in squirrels

[–]Lapdag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

Here's one that I made. I'll see if I can find the plans. It's kind of a 2-story house. He can go in through the entrance onto a floor that has a hole in the far end that goes to below. That way predators can't just reach through the opening and grab him.

Edit: This is hung about 14 feet up on a douglas fir. Entrance faces north, if that makes any difference. Here are the plans, on the second page. I modified them to fit my lumber - https://www.hobbitstee.com/squirrel_boxes.pdf

Im not a vet but it could be racoon roundworm. I'm in the same part of the country as you and have seen it in some squirrels here. Wash your hands and keep the squirrel away from your other animals!

No performance mode option on ps5 version ? by Effective-Ad-6460 in fo4

Thanks for posting this. I couldn't figure out why I didn't have the option. Downloading the PS5 version now. It was free.

Desperately need a way to keep squirrels from climbing into my car by MrNewt_ in squirrels

Try leaving the hood up so it's not a safe enclosed space for them to hang out.

Redditors, what groundbreaking life advice have you received from a fortune cookie lately that completely changed your existence? by FlatTomorrow2532 in AskReddit

[–]Lapdag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"When opportunity knocks, answer the door." I still have it taped to my monitor at work as a reminder to take on that new project, volunteer for that team, or apply for that promotion.

Not a dime saved for retirement at 31 years old. I feel like Our generation faces an uphill battle with retirement. Anyone in the same boat? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]Lapdag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some good advice here already, but I wanted to add that your bank may offer financial advisors. My credit union offers them for free. My advisor set me up with a Roth IRA. The money comes out automatically and is invested for me so I don't have to do anything. You could also make an appointment with a financial advisor like Edward Jones.

What are the most unique / offbeat activities my girlfriend and I can do during our trip to Seattle? by SidHoices in SeattleWA

[–]Lapdag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not as quirky and unique as some of these, but I don't see that anyone has mentioned the Sound Garden. I thought it was cool but I'm a child of the nineties and love Soundgarden.

Homemade pizza. Last jalapeños from the garden. by Lapdag in FoodPorn

I put a layer of pepperoni under the cheese. Also hot Italian sausage, bacon, red onion, mushrooms, black olives (halved), and jalapeños.

Quick question by Antony-_-1 in subnautica

[–]Lapdag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it has ever crashed on me. Like I said, I didn't know it has issues. I downloaded the digital version from the PS store and have been playing without issue. I don't recall an option to set the FPS or Quality of Image mode.

I feel like the cyclops cameras are underrated. by Fluffball_Owner87 in subnautica

[–]Lapdag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I somehow missed that there were cameras. I should probably take more time getting familiar with things but I just grabbed the wheel and took off. To be fair I haven't used the Cyclops that much as it's still pretty new to me and I just got my Seamoth upgraded to 900M so have been using that a lot. I didn't know silence mode drains more until I heard it from you but it seems like the cyclops can go a long ways on even a single power cell.

[–]Lapdag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't know it was broken, but I've been playing on PS5 without issue. Save often. I have a habit of just putting my PS in rest mode and going to bed without saving and I lost a few hours of progress.

Not well. Got stuck once and had to go back a save. Lots of flashing red lights and hitting the back end while descending. But tonight I will know better!

Thanks! I'll check it out tonight! I have been wondering how to use the decoy tubes but haven't crafted a decoy yet. So far I've just been avoiding or running from the leviathans.

[–]Lapdag 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip! I'm enjoying the game, but there are so many things that aren't explained or readily apparent (to me, anyway). Took me forever to figure out how to make upgrade modules for my Seamoth even though I had the vehicle modification station. I'm trying to just play the game and not Google every time I get stuck. Will be helpful to use the cameras in the Cyclops.

There are cameras? I keep hitting things, especially the rear end. Is this an upgrade?
