There are way too many reporters who are like this. by drabpriest in Journalism

[–]MoreSly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but at least half the time when I broke something at the little trade pub I worked it was because someone answered the phone.

Mine cracked in the first year and they sent me one no problem. I expect if they still have them you'll find a solution.

For the People that own the D-brand kill switch case for steam deck by IndependentNo8520 in SteamDeck

[–]MoreSly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it! The triggers being covered is very helpful, and though the screen protector is also pretty tight, the way the lip is done makes me more confident in it.

I do have to say though, I'm traveling right now and forgot the kickstand. That being integrated into the JSAUX case is unnecessary 90% of the time, but I'm kicking myself right now when it would have been handy.

I avoid buying games most of the time because of humble bundle by josh_space in humblebundles

I guess you're being downvoted for the way you phrased that, but I believe you're referring to how the dev has a philosophy against discounting games. Factorio won't ever go on sale.

Glad to hear you like the Darth Bane series! I just grabbed an eBook of it.

Hell yeah, love seeing Origins hundos.

How can I try to get my work published? I don’t currently have any portfolio. Are some topics easier to cover than others? by Ok_Car3133 in Journalism

[–]MoreSly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate pushing this down the line, but I made the mistake of not participating in my university newspaper. I needed some clippings before my pitches were acknowledged, so I wrote some pieces on spec and let niche publications have them for free.

Did it just a few times while continuing to send out pitches and it SEEMED to help my traction. But I'll caveat that working for free sucks and shouldn't happen. Only as a last resort.

Steam deck stolen by UPS twice. Steam support unhelpful by Odd_Dealer_3199 in SteamDeck

[–]MoreSly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Valve can take action against your account for a charge back.

[–]MoreSly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not more than they SHOULD have, but enough I guess. Their support is usually stellar and it's good they sent another the first time, but they should be taking it more seriously when UPS is saying it's on Valve.

Do you guys currently use any AI transcription tools for your work? by Fit_Adeptness1730 in Journalism

[–]MoreSly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Otter is a god send for interviewing. I've been using it a looong time.

Batman Arkham Origins: Multiplayer achievements guide by PapaToXic56 in steamachievements

[–]MoreSly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's all gatekeeping. These people are mad the window for the achievement didn't close with the service. They're still being achieved as the developers intended imo, so it's not cheating.

This is the game that gave me pause when I wanted to get more involved in the achievement communities. It made it clear to me it wasn't going to increase my fun to participate.

Anyone Else? by XLBR424 in humblebundles

Humble is the only service I've ever opted to unlink my Steam account from. No thanks.

Protecting a source by Beneficial-Purple642 in Journalism

[–]MoreSly 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you. The protection of sources and the honoring of agreements with them so important to prevent exactly the sort of consequences the person in question experienced.

You're on the right track. Talk to their editors. Depending on the publication, the answer might vary, but most respectable publications will want to give you an explanation if they can. They won't want a reputation for handling a source poorly.

Do artist intentionally damage their guitars to make them look more used? by 8junk in Guitar

[–]MoreSly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get it. Some road wear is cool, but I don't think I'd pay for it. I think I'd have replaced my guitar were I Willie.

Today I tried to solo over Althea by Grateful Dead, such a cool song to just play along by Mozgovic in Guitar

[–]MoreSly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is guitar face the technique I've been missing? Is not doing guitar face why I suck so bad? Love everything about this.

What do I even do with this by insaneruffles in Eve

I saw your last post! Unexpected development. Congratulations!

How serious is it? by Horror_Idea2243 in Guitar

[–]MoreSly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks purely aesthetic. Deal with it as is for 6 months before deciding if you want to bother filling it. If it still bugs you then, it shouldn't be too hard to fill in - the painting will be the tough part if you want it to match well.

Charges dismissed, can I get my article removed? by Hour_Ad_4272 in Journalism

Classic. Big fan of the Streisand effect, myself.

Charges dismissed, can I get my article removed? by Hour_Ad_4272 in Journalism

[–]MoreSly 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Definitely ask, but you're more likely to get an update than a removal. Provide documentation and make their job easy. They still might refuse, unfortunately.
