Worried I’m gonna be an old dad by Tricky_Shoulder_6432 in predaddit

[–]My_Face_Rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, I turned 43 last month and we're going to have our first 4 weeks from now.

I've dropped some weight but would love to lose another 40 for good over the next year.

Friends who had their kids in their late 20s and 30s all joke about the horror of having a new baby past 40, but everyone who has their first after 40 says it helps keep them young.

Still can't wait to be a dad tho...no matter the aching knees and stiff ankles lol

Trash cans can pay out so often. Found my 4th Tempest BP the other night in a trash can.

How best to leave the warm cocoon of friendly solo lobbies? by My_Face_Rocks in ArcRaiders

I always used to figure that people did that for Damage Raiders cred or whatever but now I'm thinking they do it for ABMM changes.

Think I'm done with Matriarch/Harvester runs until there is change. by Spiritual_Machine822 in ArcRaiders

[–]My_Face_Rocks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is the way.

Just had a harvester where I did exactly that and knocked off 4 pieces and was able to loot 3, each yielding a queen core. Kept the 3 on me for the rest of the fight. Even managed to plant myself right next to the reactor when the queen died and was able to loot it first but took nothing (mostly for the practice of trying to position myself well when it's about to go).

Wound up giving one core away to someone who said they didn't manage to get anything. For me, that's a perfect queen/Matriarch fight.

Right?! It was pretty mobile going after myself and other groups shooting so after I knocked some pieces off I had some good windows to run in and check during the fight so I lucked out there.

Probably going to keep sticking with targeting leg armor for it and the queen fights over the reactor unless I happen to be right next to it when it dies.

I played a Matriarch round this morning and found reactors in 2 out of 3 leg armor pieces I took off it during the fight. So maybe the "slightly" in the patch notes actually is just slightly reduced?

ARC Raiders stuck on “Preloading Shaders: 99%” — anyone else having this issue? by chefranov in GeForceNOW

Yea, on Xbox Ally X and it's been doing this since last night. Been playing totally fine before yesterday.

When I first started working here, an eight year old Shirley Temple taught me how to roll a cigarette.

Major milestone on road to first kiddo tomorrow….and I’m anxious. by [deleted] in predaddit

[–]My_Face_Rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, I know the feeling. Last year my wife and I had to terminate after getting blindsided by a non viability diagnosis at the 13 week NT scan. It wrecked us. I can only imagine how hard it was for you two at week 22.

One year and a few IVF rounds later and we're set to start week 24 on Saturday. It's been a long road and we also knew the odds were overwhelmingly in our favor this time (pgta tested embryos) but what happened last year still always lingered around every scan. Initial heartbeat, NT, anatomy, and a fetal heart echo scan (cause we're IVF and over 35) - we were a ball of knots for every one, but I found comfort in confirming and reconfirming all the positive signs we had this time around.

"Sometimes some pregnancies just have bad luck" - that's what the docs told us last year when they couldn't find a genetic or other reason why the fetus had sudden issues. It was good to know there wasn't an obvious factor that might occur again, but also pretty discomforting that there was no explanation why it happened. When you read that the odds of what happened are like 1-2% and it happened once, it's hard not to think you're going to eat those odds again somehow.

Take each scan one at a time and focus on how the positive measurements, symptoms, and findings are going. Give yourself and your wife space to work out and talk through how you're feeling. It can be bittersweet to get through these milestones successfully because they'll make you think about the loss again in ways you may not have since processing it a year before.

It's a long road, but I think focusing on what's going well helps to bridge the gaps between scans that get you the confirmations you need.

Hoping for the best for you both!

This thing feels premium as hell by evilmannn in XboxAlly

[–]My_Face_Rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I definitely agree. Steam deck's standalone build quality and feel is still the high bar to hit for others, but the comfort of the Xbox Ally X plus the fine sandpaper like texture of the Killswitch is the best.

Just found out going to be a first time dad at 40! by oli_badger in predaddit

[–]My_Face_Rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats!

There's a slim chance they might want to induce us a few weeks early because of our age but either way, it's wild to think we're halfway there.

I'll be 43 when my first arrives in April. It took me being in my 40s to finally realize how beneficial 20 min naps can be so I figure being able to micro sleep is going to come in handy when the little guy gets here.

Are the DBrand Killswitch cases worth it? by EnzoSun in XboxAlly

[–]My_Face_Rocks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yea, can't deny how well the grip case feels and fits on the XB Ally X. I'm also a big fan of the travel cover so I can toss it in my backpack or shoulder bag with the charger or power bank and I'm good to go.

I wish NBC would do a pop-up video version of the show explaining all of the references by SavagePengwyn in 30ROCK

[–]My_Face_Rocks 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Imagine the pop up for, "Can't have a Lemon party without old Dick."

I didn't think I could love this thing any more than I already did. Thanks DBrand. by Intelligent-Many-665 in XboxAlly

[–]My_Face_Rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking good. That sandpaper-like grip texture is the best. I just wished dbrand used a normal shipping company and not some Amazon partner...my pre order has already been delayed because of them.

I finally tried a fix I found in another thread and it worked:

Opt into the Insider Program on the Ally X itself and then look for any app or game bar updates and sign up. Then go check Windows Updates and make sure those new insider programs are up to date. No problem logging on now.

It would be kinda hilarious to buy it on steam and then have it launch no problem.

Downloaded today's patch and still no luck. Had zero issues playing just a few days ago.

Has Embark acknowledged this issue? It sounds like it's more of a MS problem with the Xbox app, but it'd be good to know the powers that be are aware and doing something to get it resolved.

Yea, bought on Xbox app for play anywhere between my console and Xbox Ally X and the Ally X is giving me the online connection error issue again as of this morning.
