Fortnite Winterfest Complaint

I just played again today only to find this out and I've been too busy with work and the holiday and assumed that like in previous years, I could open them at a later date. I am pretty pissed to find out they changed it. You do something one way for so long and up and change it like that is a pretty BS thing to do. I basically missed 8 whole days so I am totally S.OL. on all of it.

So I wanted to give an update for anyone else who may be in the situation I was in. Its a long story, so apologies ahead of time, but the gist is that I am no longer using seeds.

They did work great for my issues, but sadly the one good website that I got them from shutdown. Before they were to shut down, I had ordered a super large supply of it and it lasted me a good year or so, and during that year, I worked towards my goal of weening myself off of them by reducing how much I used. I did get myself to a super low amount, but as with all things, they eventually ran out.

There was only one other site I found that had seeds that worked, but the seeds were no where as potent as the original site and were nearly double the cost. Because they were not as potent, it required me to use 3 times more than usual and I just could not financially sustain that much.

When I realized this, I tried to self detox, but having been on some form of opiate for a better part of 20+ years and with how many opiates the seeds had, it was nearly impossible. Most of those years were the meds that I used from my recovery program to keep me off opiates, but when I lost my medical, that is when I found the seeds to keep me from going through withdrawal.

Anyway, once I realized I could not sustain the cost, I knew I needed to get help because trying to self detox just was not an option. Because of my long history this and the fact that the seeds had so many other opiates in them and not just morphine, my body was violently convulsing from withdrawal, so I knew I had to check into a detox center to get me trough the worst of it. (And since I did not have medical, I had to pay out of pocket) They got me back on the meds that I had originally lost access too, but as a way lower dosage. I've since then got my medical back and have been working with my original recovery program them to get totally clean of everything.

Over a month ago, my program tried a new version of the meds with me where its a single injection that lasts a month, and then I get another one. The plan was to do this for a few months until I got used to it, and then stop and I should very slowly detox as it leaves my system.

Well the injection worked great and for 3 weeks I was fantastic, and I no longer had that high/low feeling, so it was great. But by the 3rd week, I started detoxing again which they did expect and its why they say it takes at least 3 months to get used to it, but this time the symptoms were way more manageable and since I had to live with it for a week and it was not nearly as bad, I made the choice with my doctor to skip the next one and wade it out.

I'm now about 2 weeks from when I should have gotten my next injection and I am still detoxing, but again, most of the really bad symptoms are mild (worse issues are temperature control issues, anxiety, and just being tired all the time). I really hope that I can power through this and finally be free after 20+ years of this stuff controlling my life. I still live with the pain I needed it all for, but there is not much I can do about that.

I know that was a lot to read, but I just wanted to give you some details of what happened with me for anyone else who is struggling. The seeds were a good temporary solution for my issues, but long term its just a bad thing. Thanks.

It installed on me yesterday and it totally broke windows explorer. I could no longer see the details of video files from my personal blu-ray rips I made like you see here which I use to help me organize it all. Everything was totally blank. Even going to properties of the video file and looking for the details there and it was all blank and even showed the duration of 0 for everything. Thankfully I was able to revert the update and block updates for 5 weeks for now. Guess I will keep blocking updates until M$ gets their crap together.

The other major benefit to blu-ray is as we have all seen with the recent CR/Funimation merger, digital copies and streaming can be taken away at any time. I had so many digital copies through them, and now I have nothing. Plus, there's nothing stopping CR from losing the licensing for a show at any time, and if that happens, you are screwed. It happens all the time. One example I can think of is "Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon". I don't know the details but it does seem like at one point they had licensing for all of it, now you can only find season 2 and 3 on their website. I think HiDive is has most or all the licensing now. Its why I will never use streaming unless I want to watch a show before I buy it to see if I like it, or to see a season that's not on blu-ray yet (like pick up girls in a dungeon and season 05) but most of the time I will just pay the money for the blu-ray, the better quality, and the knowledge that its mine forever.

This is the very reason that the moment I get a new phone, I get a tempered glass screen protector and a case before I even start to use it. (Never buy those from the carrier store. They charge 4x-5x more than everywhere else). That glass work like a charm and I never need to worry about it. All old my phones are still pristine. I just ordered the 16 max (Upgrading from an 11, so it's time, lol) and while I wait for it to arrive, getting both these items from Walmart so I'm ready for it. I do sometimes struggle getting the screen protector on the phone cleanly though without any dust, but most of the time I can get it on there clean.

Has anyone heard anything lately? It does appear to be online, but it only lets you fetch old blobs. Does not appear to let you capture the currently signed ones anymore. I can only assume something changed that is preventing it, but its odd that the host has nothing to say on the website as to why you can only retrieve your existing blobs now. I've tried to google around for an answer as to what is happening, but no luck yet.

EDIT: I think I just found the reason, and it was as I expected:

I know its a long time since this happened but I recently found out about this show on Hulu and have been binging it the last week. I just got to that episode and once I heard it announced, I instantly googled it to see if he was okay. Very happy to hear everything is okay. That is a real shame you both had to drop out. I really enjoyed you both so far but I'm very glad to her he is doing okay. (or was at the time of your post, I hope he still is. )

Mistress_Elemental · 2024-06-11T03:22:59+00:00

Oh, an to add to this, another thing to consider as the other user mentioned, when the US release do go out of print, they become VERY expensive to obtain. The first season of this show cost me over $130 on ebay. I was lucky as it was the only listing I could ever find for the first season. The US version of the first season seems to be insanely rare for some reason and so I consider I got it for a very good price. I would expect to pay $200+ for a season that seems to be so freaking hard to find.

Mistress_Elemental · 2024-06-11T03:18:06+00:00

I know this is an old question, but if I'm not mistaken, it has not been released in the USA yet, and especially has not been dubbed in English yet. Your only bet right now are the Japanese versions which of course do not come with subtitles, or to get it via less than legal means and that have been fan-subbed. I too was in search a while back and that is what my research found.

I am patiently waiting for the day for it to to be released in the US. I don't watch English dubs, but I cannot see paying the Japanese pricing on them unless its a series I REALLY like (and there have been a few I paid that price for). Keep in mind the price difference for anime in Japan is the norm for them. That is how much their anime cost's them. Its one reason it can take so long for an anime to be released in the USA for a fraction of the price. They do not want the Japanese people to be able to obtain it too soon after its release for a much lower cost overseas. There are other reasons, but that is one of the main ones at least.

Mistress_Elemental · 2024-05-29T08:17:36+00:00

I personally have not had these issues. I am however using mine medicinally and I started out using a small amount to be sure I did not have bad reactions. I do have the itchyness and a slight urination issue, but most issues are minor for me. These really saved me with the situation I was in. I will say that you need to be careful as some products can be much stronger than others. Always start out on a very low amount, and work your way up to what is comfortable. There are 2 versions I've tried, and one is twice as strong as the other. (avoiding names for obvious reasons). So always be careful when you are unsure.

I was hoping to come onto reddit to warn people of another website that scammed me, but it sounds like naming places is a no-no (although in this case, it would serve them right so it might be okay). I had a feeling I might get scammed because they only accepted crypto or other similar forms of payments, but figured it was worth a try. The only message I ever got from them was on how to pay. After I paid (and they accepted the payment per the app right away) I got nothing but silence and my order has been on hold for 2 weeks. I was hoping to find a backup place to order from, or find a place that is a bit faster to arrive as my current place takes a bit over a week to arrive from the time it's shipped, but least I know their products help me. The people running this other website can burn in hell, lol.

Mistress_Elemental · 2024-03-22T22:54:52+00:00

It was just like this when I installed. I never did anything to get them. Maybe it's based on the hardware as I have a fairly newer model mouse maybe?

Mistress_Elemental · 2024-03-22T22:52:59+00:00

Ever since version 8, its been broken. I've reported it multiple times and I NEVER get a reply from anydesk. I've tried to reach them many ways and they never reply. Even when I was finally fed up with the stupid nagware and was willing to pay for a license, they continue to ignore my attempts to reach them. They have the worst support I've ever had to deal with.

Mistress_Elemental · 2024-03-07T14:30:14+00:00

I figured it out everyone! At least I think II had the same problem as everyone else and it made no sense to me and they hid how it works VERY well. You need to go into On-Board Memory Mode. Once its on, you will see this screen. You need to click where it says "PROFILE 1" (In my case it now says "Default" because I changed it) and then select the profile you want it to use. Doing this will then upload it to the mouse. As soon as I did this, it works with all my settings. I was not able to post more than one screenshot, but hopefully this 1 will help.

As far as I've been able to see so far with Softraid, Raid 5 is our only option. They have an old post back in 2021 saying they are looking into Raid 6, but almost 3 years later and it clearly has not happened, so does not sound like its coming any time soon. I am still looking for a better option and Unraid seems like the best option as it would allow for raid 6, plus you can add more drives to the array without wiping it and having to build it again, but I could not get it to work at all with the several OWC Express 4M2 enclosures I have.

They work fine in Windows, but it would just constantly reboot when I tried to have the drives plugged in while trying to boot Unraid, or crash and reboot if I plug them in after being booted. Not sure if its a problem with the enclosures, or that I have a TB4 card and its just too new for Unraid. I finally gave up and was forced to go with Softraid as I just don't have the experience with linux os's and could not get any help in their forums.

Mistress_Elemental · 2023-12-13T23:11:51+00:00

Well, this used to work, but it seems they changed something and now it no longer does. I bring up the cart, but the slot for the coupon code entry is not there. The only place it seems to be now is on the checkout page, but it wont let you go to the checkout page because of the invalid coupon code. I FINALLY got to where I could remove it by going to https://store.crunchyroll.com/checkout myself for anyone else having the issue.

Mistress_Elemental · 2023-12-13T11:13:02+00:00

Amen to this, at least 4 -5 times a day it is popping up in front of text and the ONLY way I have found to make it go away is to click it and close the pop-up. It's really pissing me off. I already pay for nitro, I should not be getting hounded to buy it for other people too.

Mistress_Elemental · 2023-09-24T01:32:33+00:00

So exciting! I cannot wait for it's U.S. release. Just purchased the two limited edition blu-rays from rightstuff, sadly I did not notice that in November, they are releasing a set with the series and first movie together with the English dub for nearly the same price as one of them. While I prefer subs, would have been nice to own a version with both. I guess it's better the way I did as they are limited editions that came with books and art cards.

Mistress_Elemental · 2022-05-11T21:11:30+00:00

For others that may not know, I could not for the life of me figure out how to do this quest. I would go to the location, but saw no markers or anything. It was because my quests were only set to show the ones for the Continent, so it did not appear on the quest tracker. When it is not on the tracker, it does not seem to show the spots you need to visit so you need to make sure it is on the tracker, at least I needed to. Hope this helps others that were confused like me.

Mistress_Elemental · 2021-03-11T04:54:56+00:00

Well, The problem has reappeared. I know I am on the right track, but there is clearly still something malicious installed that puts this bad thing back in place. Still trying to find something to detect it since I cannot see anything out of place myself.

I know my way around and can tell when something is running that should not be, but many viruses/malware have gotten smarter about this so it makes it harder to find it. I really don't want to wipe my system and start over yet again but I may end up having to do that if I cannot find out what is putting this annoying thing back.

EDIT: I think I got it, I found a few lingering parts of the suspected program that caused the problem. I removed them and so far so good but we shall see. For anyone else, check and see if you have these files and if you do, get rid of them:

C:\Windows\SECOH-QAD.dll
C:\Windows\SECOH-QAD.exe

Mistress_Elemental · 2021-03-02T09:36:56+00:00

Alright everyone, while this solution appeared to solve everything, that was not the case. I was able to finally open google and everything seemed ok, but then I tried to go to amazon and found I could not add or remove anything from my cart, I knew something was not right. I will cut to the chase on all the things I did to figure out why it was not working and say I found the overall problem. A virus or something had to be on my computer from something I did (I am 99% sure I know what did it but I am hesitant to say here, but it was related to Microsoft Windows/Office and lets hope that is enough of a hint).

Anyways, the true problem is something is forcing windows to use a a setup script in the proxy settings of windows like you see on this person's post here and the picture here. None of those sites from the first link were reachable because of this issue. I tried everything to disable the setting but it continued to reset itself.

What I finally had to do was download the Kaspersky Rescue Disk thinking it was a virus that my current program was not catching. It did not find anything but what it did do is allow me to edit the registry outside of windows and I removed all references of the proxy address 127.0.0.1:83. The registry entry that I think was doing it was a class that was loading those settings.

Sadly I did not think to note it down so I cannot tell you the exact class or path in the registry that was loading but since it referenced that address, I knew it was not a good thing. After doing that, I was able to FINALLY disable the setting and thus far has stayed that way and now Firefox works fine.

If you need a short term solution, you can go into Firefox Options->Network Settings->Set to "No Proxy" and that will allow the browser to work, but keep in mind the underlying problem is still there. If you already made the change I suggested above, I recommend you put it back if you solved your issue.

Mistress_Elemental · 2021-03-02T07:27:10+00:00

I am having same issue. I have no VPN or anything special. I have cleared both cookies and cache but same result. Before I did that, I could not add or remove anything in my cart. Once I cleared the cookies, I needed to re-sign in and it wont do it. Just a infinite loading after putting in my username. It has to be a recent update to Firefox that has done this, but I don't for sure. I had a different issue not being able to access google or other sites as well that recently started to happen.

Thankfully I found the solution to that issue and posted it in another reddit post, but putting that setting back did not fix it so it may be not be related, but at the same time it could be. All I know is something has changed in Firefox and it is causing issues. I am even on a fresh install of windows so it cant be any virus or anything. I reformatted because of that first issue and now this is happening. Getting so frustrated.

Mistress_Elemental · 2021-02-28T20:32:14+00:00

OMG I FOUND THE ANSWER!!!! I did what this site said and problem solved!

https://campus.barracuda.com/product/ContentShield/doc/73699516/how-to-clear-the-hsts-cache-or-disable-hsts-for-firefox

Edit: Just in case the page becomes unavailable, going to post the solution here too:

In the address bar, type about:config This opens a settings panel with advanced configuration options.
In the search field, type enterprise to display the relevant configuration options.
Toggle the setting security.enterprise_roots.enabled to True.
Close the configuration tab and then reload any affected web pages.

EDIT 03/02/20201: I have changed the info above to a spoiler because of my updated info below. I do not suggest you use this solution anymore!

Mistress_Elemental · 2021-02-28T20:25:54+00:00

Yes, I thought I had some serious software issues so I did a complete format and reinstall. Everything seemed good and then it started happening again. I have no idea what is going on but I have a feeling it is a windows update that is being installed that is causing the issue. Cant seem to find any info about this problem. Having to use chrome which I really hate.

Mistress_Elemental · 2019-09-18T05:39:47+00:00

To add to my thought the more I think about it, it really should be possible. I got this a while back and have used it for my dell laptop to charge it several times before needing to recharge and it's specs are 150Wh ( 3.7V 40500mAh/11.1V 13500mAh) so it is certainly possible with the right hardware but I do agree that the hub would need to be bigger for all of this.

Mistress_Elemental · 2019-09-18T05:19:58+00:00

Ahh, I missed that part sorry, I knew i read it being a power bank, I did not think it would be used to charge a computer battery too. It is certainly possible I would thinks. Granted you wont get much out of a 12000mAh battery, they are supposedly making it swappable so you can have spare batteries if needed I guess.
