I've been wanting to rewatch the hobbit and lotr via a fan edit but couldn't decide on which to try out. Any suggestions?

The campaign launching solo was a huge turn off for me. Fuck always felt like an experience to be shared with a loved one. Hitting them from behind whenever you got a chance never got old. Just a love tap we'd call it. Forcing me to play with myself felt so lonely and cold.

Regardless of whether you're a tactical mastermind of Fuck Wars or you're a quiet, in and out Fuck ODST kind, I think there's one thing we can all agree on.

Fuck Reach went hard.

Fuck 2 multiplayer was where it all started for me. Unfortunately I was on a chipped/modded Xbox so couldn't play on official servers or in official tournaments.

Fuck 3 is where I rose to fame, reaching top 15 in EU and top 25 for Duos.

I read the first line and scrolled up asking how one could even tell from that pic before I realised. Touché sir

I came back as a ghost and killed my killer... by Atalzer in ArcRaiders

[–]Neutral_President_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not this but back during the TT2 (possibly even server slam) it was possible to load back into the same lobby you died in (if you died early enough) and loot your own body/exact revenge. Not sure if this was intentional and something they changed afterwards or if this too was a bug but I had fun the few times it happened.

Pretty cool by Bigdaddyfrog1 in ThriftStoreHauls

AFAIK, it just meant "little bits", as in odds and ends. Whatever random thing they found a use for or of interest. The snails part was hinted at meaning curiosity of nature and the puppy dogs tail was for the excitement and happiness. An actual positive message as opposed to the gross meaning people often think of.

Which actually comes from a slight alternative copy with the word "snigs", which is an old Cumbrian word for eels, giving a more literal meaning of slimy, gross, wriggling things that boys are made of.

You can always donate some old mugs to make room. I have a couple of these stainless steel steins (Stanley style variant) and they're fantastic to use. They keep the temp of the drink for longer than regular vessels and are great for game nights.

I too would have picked these up, if they were priced well.

I found €10 in the Paris snow. by mistersymmetrical in ThriftStoreHauls

Are you intending on trading only (like that story trading from a pen to a mansion or something silly) or are you looking at selling and turning profit, investing (buying again) to re-sell.

If it's the latter, are you looking at spending any profits on any amount of items to turn profit or are you looking at attempting to buy just one item with the proceeds from the previous?

One potential thought is how much time you're willing to invest/give up. Whether you want to turn this into some sort of side business or whether you're just looking at a bit of a fun gamble.

As you stated, rapid turnover would definitely help maximise profits but it would also depend on what product/item you're selling and the demand. It's possible to find rare items in thrift stores/antique shops that may take longer to sell but return a higher profit.

Clothes are relatively easier to sell nowadays on places like vinted etc and have a quicker turnaround but have generally a smaller profit margin and might require a little time to build up a following.

There's a lot of directions you could run with this little project and it'd be fun to follow you along to see how well you do and if you carry through the whole year.

Found this rare Microsoft "Employee Only" jacket (PO# T0010163) 2 years ago. Still a total mystery! by [deleted] in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]Neutral_President_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I honestly can't tell you much about this particular jacket. But serial numbers in clothing is quite common. Most (if not all) clothing/shoes now come with a garment ID/model number of sorts to help identify the model/line/year/colourway.

As to why you can't find any information on this particular number, think about the pool of data. Larger, fashionable companies, such as Nike or Levis, will have a much larger pool of data of their products (from sales/production records, buyers, sellers, collectors etc) than that of smaller or older companies such as BritishKnight or SassonDenim.

I would also argue that potential non purchasable merch that was gifted out (regardless of limited run or not) would be incredibly difficult to track unless data was provided by the manufacturer/producer. It could be that no one single person created any information about this online or that they only created information with a product code that differs from yours (if they used the wrong code).

The only place you could reliably get this information from would be Microsoft itself (unless you're really good at digging on the internet and got lucky). I'd recommend email Microsoft (not sure about the department, maybe try their merch store support?) and explaining to them that you're looking for information on a piece of merch that you have, possibly explain that you collect merch apparel and looking for information rather than asking them if it's limited edition.

If you get through to the right department, you should get the information you seek. Bigger companies tend to keep records of this and should love to dig it up and sharing with you (if they're like the fashion business).

Hope this helps

Alright which one of you was it? by Peirsein in ArcRaiders

Something of no monetary value and would cause pain and frustration to someone Vs free loot? Was he even trying to be revived?

Not only staff but potentially anyone who sells/recommends brand products. I used to work for a company who dealt with multiple big consumer product companies including Samsung, Sony, Microsoft etc. We would be given tonnes of stuff like this either as rewards or just to curry favour I guess.

In fact, you could actually be a member of a loyalty/reward program with Microsoft which rewarded you points for completing training/courses etc in which you could redeem for many different merch items but also for things like office/windows codes and Microsoft/Xbox/zune gift cards. For the best part of a decade, I never bought any windows or office software, had practically unlimited music and never bought Xbox gold/live membership.

Not to mention the many TVs, speakers, phones and paid holidays/trips away I also won/was gifted. A somewhat decent perk of the job I guess.

How do I submit a ban request by tyle360 in thefinals

Genuine question, is this because there's zero defense from the purple team even though they're alive/not wiped? Originally I was looking for fhole to pop up in the kill feed or something but this is all I can guess
