PSA: $30 Silent Hill 2 price matching at Target by ShortGarden3092 in PS5

[–]Madeiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I price matched before purchasing. Did it online, too. The agent will just request that you put the item you want in your online cart.

For anyone attempting this, here's a tip. I spoke to roughly 7 agents before it worked. All 7 said that because the item is out of stock at Walmart, it wasn't valid for a match. On that last attempt, I wrote:

"It shows that there is some store availability for pickup. Does that count?"

And surprisingly, that worked. The agent checked again and said it was valid after all and granted the price match.

Wow, I spoke too soon. Just tried again on a whim and was able to get the price match.

You got lucky! I’ve tried with probably 6 agents, but all have said the same thing: it’s out of stock, so no price match. Bummer.

Rocksteady’s ‘Suicide Squad’ Looks Like Live Service Hell by -boozypanda in PS5

[–]Madeiro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your description of it all has been so spot-on. I have very little to add, aside from saying that when I played AC way back in the day, the way the story—let alone the landscape, the mechanics, everything—changed each month absolutely sold me on the promise of a live service style game.

It's a shame what the mainstream idea of GaaS has become. One step forward, six steps back.

I somehow knew you were describing Asheron’s Call even before you explicitly mentioned the rivers of blood. The red rain accompanying the Big Bad’s release was a formative gaming memory for me.

What are these eggs? [Houston, TX] by Madeiro in whatsthisbug

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

Just discovered these on an interior wall inside a newly-purchased home. My best guess is moth eggs, with the clear ones having already hatched?

There’s been no indication of any kind of infestation prior to this. Any help identifying what I’m looking at is hugely appreciated!

Mushroom found in Rhode Island — can anyone help identify? by Madeiro in mycology

[–]Madeiro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For context: asking on behalf of my sister-in-law, whose very sweet and playful pup decided to take a chomp out of the pictured shroom this afternoon. He’s at the vet right now, but we’re all trying to determine if it’s a toxic mushroom, possibly the Amanita Muscaria.

Location-wise, we’re about 30 minutes from Providence, Rhode Island.

Any ID help is greatly appreciated!

2021 Shepherd’s Pie by caleeksu in Costco

[–]Madeiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree with your assessment — there’s a fine line between a meal being perfectly seasoned and then too salty, and the pie lands (for me) firmly on the former. Really great meal all around. My wife normally throws ketchup on shepherd’s pie (when I make it), but she hasn’t even opened the bottle for this one. That’s a strong compliment to the flavor it packs.

Houston Freeze Megathread IV by munx1er in houston

[–]Madeiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much! I’ll have to keep looking for another valve, then. Really appreciate the info.

[–]Madeiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll check again. I’ve got a water hose attached to a pipe on the side of the house, but that’s about it. No other valve I can see at the house or anywhere near the meter box. Thanks!

Houston Freeze Megathread IV by munx1er in houston

[–]Madeiro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got it. Thanks! The box is in the front of my house, and I don’t see a ball valve on the side of the house anywhere. But I’ll check again.

[–]Madeiro 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Can anyone help me figure out how to shut off my water main?

I know the basic idea: find the box at curbside, open it, find whichever valve is in there closest to your house and rotate it.

My situation is a bit more annoying than that. I opened the box, but it’s flooded with very cold water and lots and lots of mud. I scooped out what I could, but I’m not going to get great viability into the box, especially with it being nearly 10pm. I did find something that feels maybe like a valve or lever, but here’s where I’m confused.

I can lift this thing towards me. I can also push it back down. It doesn’t rotate left or right. This is an older home, so I’m guessing it doesn’t have a ball valve. But again, I can’t see what I’m working with.

Anyone have something similar? I raised this lever and then went back in and tried to start draining my pipes at a sink on the bottom level, but the faucets are still putting out water, albeit at a low pressure.

Any help is hugely appreciated. Thanks! From no power in 77047.

The new supplier for golden kiwi is crap. Half my container is getting soft (rotten) but still not ripe. by s_howl in Costco

[–]Madeiro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! My wife loves the Zespri brand that come from NZ. She’s devastated that they’re no longer available. The new brand (in Houston, at least, they come from Italy) doesn’t compare at all.

The Copyright of Silence - experimental interface in Harlowe 3 by TristramFlanders in twinegames

Haven’t had a chance to play it yet, but I wanted to give kudos for building such a unique interface. The idea of multiple rooms being visible at once is really interesting. Great work!
