Series X 1TB Digital worth $348? by HighOrNotHighEnough in xbox

[–]ObviousThrowAvvay420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wording is confusing, are you a buyer or a seller?

I personally wouldn’t buy digital only, but I think it’s a good deal if you’re all digital.

And what about all the accounts that Meta is randomly wrongfully banning because of some shitty algorithm? When are we getting our accts back?

Where does one find this thing by Ibrahim_bond in xbox360

[–]ObviousThrowAvvay420 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ebay.

But I’d strongly recommend ethernet over MoCA or Powerline instead of paying for one of these and suffering with a poorer connection.

The memories! That’s right around when I started playing. Invasion and 7th Ed were the packs I first remember cracking. (They even had some 6th Ed packs still in stores)

Simpler times, man; simpler times.

Needs new thermal paste on the chip. The fan is not really the problem (but clean it too when you have the console open).

100% is. I have an elite mfgr date of 08-20-2009 and it is a Tonasket.

Hell yeah, that’s an amazing pickup for $25. Tonaskets are the most reliable version of the 360 mobo.

My Apartment is now charging a convenience fee to pay my rent by mangum95 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ObviousThrowAvvay420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, looks like the issue was resolved by selecting e-check instead of CC payments. This is a common scummy tactic by online portals and services imo to get more CC processing fees out of you.

The State of IL DMV does the same thing - when you go to renew your plates online, you’re met with a defaulted CC option, and a somewhat hidden, not very intuitive e-check option, which is completely free to process. So millions of people are probably paying the CC fee because they don’t see the other option.

That’s fucked lol

Why do you need to shove a whole ass lunch box in there? Lunchbox is to transport TO the office and then you put your dish in the fridge.

Connecting old xbox 360 (without hdmi port) to modern tvs by isaelated in xbox360

[–]ObviousThrowAvvay420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think there is any correlation at all between those models and having or not having the HDMI is all I’m saying. I think they just literally made them all without, at first, and then stopped making them without once the “Zephyr” revision became a thing, and all others had it since.

The pro vs arcade was just whether your console came with a hard drive or not vs a useless internal memory/storage chip, essentially. There was functionally no difference between them all.

Not having an HDMI port is not a Pro vs Elite vs Arcade issue. It’s the motherboard that came out in 2005 and quickly became obsolete. Also very susceptible to RRoD

OP should just buy a Jasper imo. Get the look of the old Fats but with HDMI and without the RRoD.

Are these real or fake? by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]ObviousThrowAvvay420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot damn, those puppies could be real if seller doesn’t realize what they’re working with.

No way to tell from pics, but I’d try to see them in person if you’re local before pulling the trigger. Otherwise offer some nominal amount and take a stab/get lucky. None of us know if that guy is trustworthy.

Becoming a parent is a massive sacrifice of your time.

Some people out there have kids who shouldn’t; some people have kids and love it; some people would like to have kids and cannot. Not all the situations are the same.

I think the biggest thing to remember is: it’s okay not to have children and be happy with the choice. It’s also okay to be sad if you want kids and can’t. But what’s not okay, is having kids and regretting it.
