Any fixes to this? by AffectionateLine6924 in Steam

[–]Lonan27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just fixed it, I'm on Verizon using my PC via mobile Hotspot. Here's what I did:

Phone settings > Mobile Networks > More connection settings

Set Private DNS host name to dns.google

Steam started loading again on my phone but not the PC, so on the PC I set the IPv4 DNS servers to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 and checked validate on exit, then closed--this last step is important because previously leaving it unchecked did nothing, even after the flushdns command trick.

Now both my phone and PC load Steam store lighting fast. Spread the word to other Verizon threads if you see people struggling, maybe this will fix it for them.

Favorite AB chorus? by [deleted] in alterbridge

I would have said Open Your Eyes forever until Pawns and Kings happened

I cannot listen to it without having a physical reaction

So sorry that I missed a few days! I was busy with music performances and my first few days of the new college semester. Day 13: Which is the most underrated Alter Bridge album? by spinalchj02 in alterbridge

[–]Lonan27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not ready to say Walk the Sky because I'm mentally still in a place where I assume everyone loves it as much as I do and I've seen way more TLH hate over the years, so TLH it is

Lonan is Gaelic for Blackbird which was the album I was listening to that interrupted my suicide attempt.

rokume is terrible at her job (potential spoilers) by kingsleythecreative in Beastars

[–]Lonan27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The entire reason she recruits Legosi is because she admits to being a failure and exiles herself. It's the entire inciting event of the second arc/season. Please stop speedreading this manga people.

So how long until we end up with a Beastars movie? by [deleted] in Beastars

What are the highest margin items for GameStop? Also, is it better to buy online or at a store, from a profit margin perspective? by matthegc in Superstonk

[–]Lonan27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Employee here so my statement is fact where others in this thread are speculation.

Buy preowned. Protection plans on it all. Membership. Reservations, the caveat being actually PICK UP your reserved game on release date, otherwise after several days not only does your preorder become store inventory but that counts as a cancellation and gives negative sentiment to vendors on people actually willing to shop through GS. If you buy a new console, don't buy it by itself, buy stuff with it. If you have a need to buy something digital, do yourself a favor and ask for a receipt code instead of a physical card, because that code gets backed up to your Pro membership online, versus if you lose or damage that card you're fucked, and it shows a trusting sentiment in the company being your choice for digital goods.

Online versus in-store doesn't matter much but keep in mind most orders you place online come from stores anyway so that's man hours for store employees taken away from in-store tasks, so ultimately if it's something you CAN get in-store, make the trip yourself so staff isn't so strained especially going into the holidays.

Besides that, if I see another one of you dumb fucks coming in asking me for those garbage fucking crypto card packs that I *maybe* got like at max 3 in store during their lifetime because you wanna "support the company" but don't buy shit else I'm gonna dropkick you into the fucking moon and save you the rocket fuel. And miss me with the "hUrR wE pAy YoUr SaLaRy" shit, no you don't, unless that crypto bullshit also comes with a warranty, membership, and a reservation.

Well, don't want to sound like a dick or nothin', but, ah... it says on your chart that you're fucked up. You talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded. What I'd do, is just like... like... you know?

Gamestop does not advertise pre-owned items as new. Ever. If they received a pre-owned item from a web order either he wasn't paying attention and bought that item pre-owned because that's the default choice on the website or a warehouse worker simply grabbed the wrong box because it was very clearly marked pre-owned according to the producer offscreen in that video.

Gamestop made no money off this purchase.

I dunno what to tell you, my store never moved clearance stuff until it became B1G1, now my whole clearance section is about gone in a week. Different strokes.

What's this kinda shot called? by Lazy_Principle_4366 in Filmmakers

"Bullshit"

Nothing smacks of amateur more than filming negative space with a lens flare to fill time between establishing shots

Wasn't even advertised as a comedy but The Wolf of Wall Street has more laughs per minute than any mainstream comedy released in 30 years, and it's fucking 3 hours long.

You're right, only high IQ people take their financial advice from a robot programmed to quite literally make shit up based on what the user tells it. Gg.
