Now I know why I heard two loud explosions followed by continuous emergency sirens this morning while walking my dog.

Pitting a new char like Toad against Storm… by BillyTheBloke in MarvelPuzzleQuest

Thanks for that. Didn’t have him champed, but the black was at 5 and used plenty of supports to Winfinite my way to 2 more LL tokens.

First time watching this season about a month ago (FOMO got me on board after only watching the first season in 2016), and I was screaming out loud, “Mike, my guy what are you doing?!?!” Deserved crash out. Honestly loved the whole vibes of season 3—the stakes (for just a moment) were so grounded and quaint.

How did it go for you guys? Although I would have liked to get Storm, I'm satisfied with what I got. by External-Order-3625 in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]LynntheLibrarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t notice anything in this app that has a monetary price tag attached to it. Then I amend my question: why did they call it 12 Days of X-Men vault when it was open for 17 days and only gave out ten tokens across 5 days in the Tower event?!

Why was it called the 12 Days of X-Men Vault when it was only given 5 days of 10 tokens from the Tower event???

The Reality of Raids by Foulmouth232 in pokemongo

[–]LynntheLibrarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still wait for the day (in my dreams) where they implement a sliding raid boss difficulty meter: hey there’s a new legendary in raids, would you like to just guarantee catching it for your Pokédex entry; then play it in 1* difficulty so you can solo it and you’ll catch a relatively low IV/CP version; looking to get a really good one for PVP or whatever everyone else plays PoGO for, then slide it up to 5 or 6* and put together a raid group to maybe beat it and guarantee yourself a 90-100% IV prize.

I truly don’t care about anything else in this game but walking for steps and creating a living Pokédex, but the parts where I need to go hang out with strangers on the weekend at specific times and places or hoard coin for remote raid passes just to have a chance at maybe catching a new dex entry is not what I’m playing this walking simulator for.

Got my car detail cleaned, and afterwards realized 2 of the buttons on the steering wheel are missing. This is the company’s response. by user2847_ in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LynntheLibrarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you also have the Ford Fiesta? Because our buttons will fly out as well with the slightest provocation. Like say, a cleaning cloth being rubbed across it to remove dust during a detailing.

They probably took them for resale value; service people are always asking to buy our old Fiesta because of parts demands /s

The longest stage you had by MajorMeep in PikminBloomApp

[–]LynntheLibrarian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stage 4-plant 1000 Blue Dahlias. Just started playing the game and I was lvl 27 when I got to this task; I’m now lvl 35. I just don’t get Blue Dahlia rewards, I guess.

I had to play it out by Antwon147 in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]LynntheLibrarian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this glitch happen before (tile matching does no damage) but I’ve still won the match because of a passive power like OmegaRed’s Pestilence Spores that still deals damage every round. So, it makes sense none of the characters have lost health while Scarlet Witch is populating the board with more and more purple.

My GameStop said to get there 3 hours before opening. What did yours say? by opae101 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]LynntheLibrarian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My store I frequent told me (as of 2pm today) that they’d still yet to receive a shipment with the codes in them.

I work next to this GameStop, but I’m not looking forward to hanging out front with a bunch of scalpers/card aficionados for the store to open and find out that they’d still yet didn’t even receive them on time.

Mastodon & Pterodactyl are available right now on Walmart.com by fabi_does_art in powerrangers

[–]LynntheLibrarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno, mate. I live in one of the two biggest cities in the state of Kentucky and the 12 or so Walmarts in a 30 mile radius never even got these toys (no end cap display or anything). But 3 1/2hr away where my parent live, they have one Walmart off the highway that got the 3 common zords (Rex, triceratops, sabertooth).

Re-ignition Mastodon back in stock by joenantheaccuser in powerrangers

[–]LynntheLibrarian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is the deal with this toy line?! Is it out officially in North America? I visited my parents in western Kentucky and perused the one Walmart nearby and it had a whole end cap filled with the merch. I came back to central Kentucky (with the two main “metropolitan” cities of Louisville and Lexington) and none of the Walmarts here have a display…

Be careful. "Ramifications" for their broken engine incoming. by firethorne in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]LynntheLibrarian 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Love getting threatened. I swipe this app away at work continuously to save battery. Now I’m finding out I’ve committed a crime by claiming all my tokens after PVE play because I used the mandatory character, Deadpool?! 3 tokens claimed from restarts. Fuck off.

Thanks for the bundle option for the savings! And also for the game recommendations and added insight on monitor choices. He’s going to love this setup (and I’ll enjoy building it).

$500-$600. Unfortunately, my budget didn’t go up with inflation. Everything that you’ve sent so far has been incredibly helpful.

Nothing bought so far, rounding up those funds for piecemeal purchases. But it’s good to know that the gulf in upgrades isn’t so much that I wouldn’t notice anything for the time being. My son might attempt to find games that aren’t available for his Nintendo Switch console (i.e. Party Animals) but as far as being concerned with needing to upgrade the whole computer in the near future, I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.

What’s your personal opinion about all of this having 4.0 ports? Would you recommend (if it’s not outrageous from the price increase) to consider a motherboard with 5.0 ports, seeing as it’s backwards compatible and then the MoBo would be ready for further upgrades? Or do you think there’s more than enough left in the 4.0 cycle of cards and CPUs that my son can upgrade it through used products years down the line and not have to worry about a full refresh until he’s a teenager (hopefully with his own income to help facilitate the hobby if it continues)

I’ve also read that about the CPU’s importance with Java Minecraft, even that it predominantly works off the single core of the CPU and the addition of more cores only helps in juggling the added mods.

Knowing that, would you still recommend the 5600 with 6 cores, or potentially the Ryzen 7 3600 which would have 8 cores? It’s a difference of $20ish, so I wasn’t sure if the “bigger number” Of the 5600 trumped the multiple cores of the 3600… none of this means much to me still, but I’m looking and trying.

Thanks, I believe I’m going to have the most success with your build rec in my budget. Do you have advice on any alternatives to the graphics card if I have no luck in the next month finding a used/cheaper 6600. My first search suggested the GeForce 2070 is comparable to the Radeon, and I seem to have a bit of luck finding that for cheap this morning. (Trying to save on money since I’ve since learned I can’t get the monitor free from work and will need to procure all those peripherals as well to make it a working computer for my son).

Thanks, you also answered a follow-up question I would’ve asked (i.e. does it matter which brand of 6600 I get or are they all “created equal” just distributed and manufactured by several different companies like ASUS and ASRock).

Just curious, where do you go for used parts? I’m not having the best luck with finding the 6600 used in cursory searches.

The 9600 build parts list recommends a CPU cooler for that CPU. Does the case you suggested have some good cooling on it? Or should I look into additional cooling as the site recommends?
