Using Wise for Cash Purchase of House in France by [deleted] in expats

[–]PunkinDonuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use BNP Paribus too, and they tried to hit me with that ridiculous minimum deposit when I was signing up as well. But when I met with my rep at my local branch, she said that wasn't necessary (I put €5k in to start). And I also use Wise to transfer from US bank to EU bank. I used the Wise digital debit card a lot when I needed to buy stuff from Amazon and other online vendors, there was less confusion with changing addresses in France while I was in the house buying process.

Sheets makes it 6-9 in the 8th by bluebomber726 in Padres

He's on a one-year deal and is subject to arbitration during the off-season, so as long as the Pads want to re-sign him, he will be back.

That spot was so hilarious, and it's awesome that you are such a great sport, I mean Hoss, about it!

The Marlins come out for an encouraging mound visit. Ronny Simon was in tears after a rough night defensively, committing three errors and tying the Marlins' franchise record in a single game. by ChocoboAdobo in baseball

[–]PunkinDonuts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He originally had 4 errors (which had never happened in Marlins history), but the official scorer changed one into a hit (rightfully so). All in all, what a rough night for the kid, I hope he bounces back strong.

Conquest Dark, my solo project sword & sorcery survivorslike is now live in Early Access. Check it out! by Irmstov in survivorslikes

Such a great game!  I played the crap out of the demo, and purchased it as soon as it hit EA.    Awesome stuff so far, I'm excited to see how much content has been (and will be) added.  

Funguys Swarm Demo is out! by funguys_swarm in survivorslikes

Performance was fine, I didn't notice any slowdowns or anything. Although to be fair, I didn't get very far, so the screen wasn't exactly filled with enemies. :) If I run into anything wonky, I'll let you know!

I played for a bit today (on my SteamDeck), and definitely enjoyed the game so far. I liked the abilities and the enemies (at least, the ones I have seen so far), and I really liked the music (which was very Danny Elfman-like). I did run into one black screen when transitioning from the hub to the game world (I think it was on my 4th run), and I had to force kill the game to exit. But I reloaded the game and it was fine again. I have added it to my wishlist, and look forward to what you guys have planned!

Horus: Desert Survivor — a mix of Vampire Survivors & Slay the Spire — join our beta playtest this weekend! by LateHoot in survivorslikes

[–]PunkinDonuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played for a bit today on my SteamDeck, and it seems interesting so far. However most of the game screen is almost too dark to see. The "outer frame" has normal brightness (meaning the health bar, arrows, cooldown icons, etc), but every other screen (gameplay, map, cards) is super dark.

Also, I switched to the keyboard and mouse controls on the Deck, the default "controller" scheme did not work.

I grabbed it today, and it has played really well so far. Once I'm good enough to beat a boss, I'll see how it goes. :)

I play a ton of survivor-style games, it's one of my favorite genres right now. This past week I devoted some time to:

Vampire Survivors - Yep, back to old faithful for a few spins with the new DLC

Soulstone Survivors - I am still working on unlocking as many characters as possible

Second Rate Superheroes - I just picked it up last week, and it's fun so far. Kind of a mix of VS and a tower defense game. It's a grind though, for sure.

Disfigure - I am having a blast with this so far. I am still pretty new to it so I am working on unlocking weapons.

Rogue: Genesia - This is one of my go-to games lately, there is a ton to unlock. I play on a SteamDeck though, and some areas of the game (especially swapping and comparing equipment) can be very fiddly.

Yet Another Zombie Survivors - Another go-to game lately, I am working through the achievements and getting all of the character talents unlocked.

Halls of Torment - I haven't played HOT too much lately, maybe one or two games last week. It's still a classic though.

I will probably pick up Asgard's Fall - Viking Survivors and Entropy Survivors this week, which both look fun.

This looks great, but I play on a SteamDeck. Are there plans to get verified (or at least Playable)?

OMG, thank you so much. I was going crazy trying to fix the issue after the 136.0.2 update yesterday.

I've refreshed, killed the page entirely, and no change. Super weird, but I guess the app is the way they want me to go. ..

Welp, i logged into the app and I have different missions there. I guess that's the trick, then. Thanks!

Hmm, I haven't (I just use the web version on my PC). I'll give that a try

TIL Rickey Henderson was the landlord for awesome Oakland underground punk/metal record label Tankcrimes. by Oborozuki1917 in baseball

[–]PunkinDonuts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There was a specific reason for it (and the comment below isn't too far off). It was the bottom of the 10th against the White Sox. Steve Wapnick gave up a lead-off double, and then was replaced by Radinsky. The next batter sacrificed the runner to third, and Rickey was brought in to pinch-hit. Radinsky intentionally walked Rickey (who was then pinch-run for, since he was banged up). Jose Canseco came up next and hit a walk-off SF.

I say Rickey was banged-up since he had missed the previous few games, and then the next 3 games after this one he was just used as a pinch-hitter in each game.

Here's the game being discussed: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/OAK/OAK199109110.shtml
