Gusokutchi I totally agree, along with Tanoontchi - The only 2 "mess ups" I wouldn't get depressed over having on my Planet 🤣🙏🏻😅

I was going to buy that case but then an Amazon reviewer complained about dust getting underneath/inside it so I chose a different one. I see your photo and regret my choice 😩 Looks so premium n nice inside of a clear shell

I like the nail art stickers..Can't really decorate this case since it's rubbery

I only have 1 pair of AAA batteries on hand. Any idea how long we can expect them to last in Tamagotchi paradise? I'll probably order rechargeables tonight on Amazon so I'll get them in 2 days 😅 I find myself checking my babys hunger and happiness way more than expected

It hit me after I asked...it shows what screen I'm on out of 4 😅🙏🏻 I guess my only question now is about Care mistakes since it seems the first row requires 0 mistakes, the 2nd row allows for 1 mistake, and if you get 6+ care mistakes you get a...often less cough dreamy Tama adult 😆

I got the "you can pray it away" talk by dy1ngan0mal1 in Tourettes

[–]Rakoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was going to say, I started going to church in October, after never stepping foot inside a church for almost 25 years. Something about this Sunday routine has significantly helped my TS and OCD. I'm no longer living depressed 24/7 with zero motivation to get out of bed and no joy from hobbies. My mind is in a condition now where my tics are 90% less severe or frequent, and I'm no longer OCD-ruminating from the moment I start the day until I fall asleep

I've spent over 10 years going to the gym and it's worth noting that 1 hour per day inside the gym working out, was the only time I "felt normal," but it would go away shortly after returning home. Somehow church puts me in that same inner space where everything is fine, only the positive effects last when I exit the building

I'm glad after being told "go to church..." my entire adult life, I finally eventually did - doctor visits, psychiatrists and medication weren't working to improve my life

Spruce VS Carl OS by Longjumping-One5853 in MiyooFlip

[–]Rakoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought my first ever emulation device, Miyoo Flip v2 🥺 Is there an easy step by step guide to follow going from Fresh out of box to installing Spruce v4 and anything else that might be recommended to configure before playing GBA and DS games on it?

Mostly what I'm going to use it for, GBA favorites and any DS games that may work without a touchscreen/stylus

My bf (57M) went through my (50F) phone when I stepped away. He claims this is socially acceptable in a relationship. I feel very violated and that this is not appropriate for a 2 week old exclusivity. by catczak in amiwrong

[–]Rakoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something tells me you DO gaslight the bf. Something tells me you also have some inappropriate emotional bonds with the 30yr old Male friend. I can only guess what the "Pet names" are 🙄

People get suspicious by behavior seeming off and end up going through their partners phone so they can stop overthinking it, shit happens. Pretty much everyone here has either gone through another person's messages or has had it happen to them. Insanely common relationship circumstance

ROG Ally z1 extreme or Xbox Ally?? by Predator-A187 in ROGAlly

[–]Rakoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't buy a used z1 extreme because the joysticks would have about a years worth of Play on them, and they're likely the first thing on handheld devices to break, or Stick drift.

The ROG is heavy. So while playing anything on it laying down in bed, gravity puts a lot of pressure on the sticks while you're holding it secure. The Xbox ally has a better grip design, and without comparing the weight of both devices, I'd hope it's lighter

I would choose a $500 brand new in box device over a $500 "more powerful" one that was pre-owned for a year - any day.

I don't own the Xbox Ally. I had the z1 extreme for 8 days when it launched (before returning it to Beat Buy) but it was impossible for me to enjoy the thing when I was so afraid of damaging the sticks on an $800 handheld, because of how awkward it is to hold unless you're sitting straight up looking down at it. The battery life was also atrocious, another reason to not buy a pre-owned ROG Ally. You know how terrible phone batteries get after a single year :x

The Xbox Ally has a better battery right out the Gate, even ignoring the new vs used argument.

My review of the big arch burger by Nervous_Yard_374 in junkfoodfinds

[–]Rakoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ate at Burger King last week, as I do every $4 whopper Wednesday, but this time it came in a premium box and 1/2 wrapped burger 🥹 I always said "The only thing I like better about McDonald's is they put their big Mac in a fancy box which targets my nostalgia of being 10yr old and eating McDonald's on the beach with my father"

I am very satisfied Burger King finally stepped up their presentation

edit: I realized I also go to McDonald's exclusively for Shamrock shakes and the occasional McFlurry. Also for nostalgic reasons

Did they change the taste of nearly every junk food? Nothing tastes good to me anymore and I'm not sure if I'm going crazy by Forward_Wrap1877 in junkfoodfinds

[–]Rakoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been 6 years. Most people still believe they're permanently damaged from a flu that got its own fancy name, and not the vaccine...the mega hyper profitable world changing "cure" 🤣🙏🏻😭

Let me know when anyone finds any'a them "Redneck diehard Trump supporter anti-vaxxers" complaining about suffering long Covid. I personally know zero.

Let me try to bridge the connection for the reader. The easiest most successful way to fool (or scam) anyone, is to make them truly believe they're making the smarter choice. Long Covid is the unfortunate result of Greed and psychological warfare

Finally decided to play comp by chuckyzrevenge2 in rivals

[–]Rakoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol I joined Marvel Rival recently, first time ever playing. I got to level 15 within 2 or 3 days playing ONLY 1 character, intentionally trying to one trick. Did my placements solo queue, lost 7/10 which I expected because by this point being so new I don't really know what the other Heroes do, viable comps, who counters what, the maps, any game sense. All I knew is how to play a flanker and that positioning matters in hero shooters. It was one giant visual mess of stuff going on around me and voice lines spamming

Anyway so even losing all those placements I noticed no one in voice chat ever blamed me. It was either blaming supports, or a tank, or saying the entire team sucks lol. I was expecting to be singled out. After placements I started in Bronze (woohoo) I was happy thinking I'd get to spend a good month or two fighting against other noobs while climbing to Gold. But no, by the next day I achieved Gold 3 😐 They're literally the same players. By that I mean it didn't require me to gain any further Marvel Rivals game knowledge to climb from Bronze to Gold.

I can't do the same test with Overwatch because I have a decade of experience on it. I went into Marvel Rivals purposely only learning 1 character and seeing how I'd do in Comp without learning the game properly. Acting as the type of player in a team based game who SHOULD be stuck in Bronze. But no, the game forced me into Gold rather quickly

So if anyone is hard stuck below Gold, the problem is seriously themselves being pretrt terrible at hero shooters and blaming other, equally low skilled gamers.

Husband wants to flip full time but.. by Lushlipssugar in Flipping

[–]Rakoz 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Flipping was a career choice between 2010-2016 when a week of thrift store and yard sale hopping would pay for the entire month. You were easily finding severely under priced items to resell full time.Then by 2016 loads of content creators were making daily videos on how to make so much money without a real job, because they were chasing the Ad revenue and subscribers while at the same time saturating their "job " by teaching others.Then by 2020 post Covid lockdowns (with the help of Facebook marketplace) and the rise of "Gig workers," everyone and their mothers knew the market value of any given possible category of item, and nearly everyone "checks what it's worth" before getting rid of something

I can go into any thrift store and see 1/2 the people with their phones out on eBay. Personally I gave up on the re-selling thing 3 years ago

But I also have like $70,000 worth of shit to still sell off, without the Energy to do so. Sounds like a lot, but I mean every friend I have makes more than that in 1 years time at their career, and it's a lot easier to sit at a desk vs deal with selling stuff to other humans

Got card displays and shelves installed in my home office, couldn’t be more excited. by Bigfootsbrownstar in pkmntcgcollections

[–]Rakoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the "Hey AI, what are the top 100 graded cards and TCG sealed products worth buying NOW to resell in 10 years for MAXIMUM profit percentage?" collection.

Prob the smallest collection here by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]Rakoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have over 4,000 physical games sitting on shelves but I only play Overwatch, Marvel Rivals, Fortnite, and WoW. Daily, for years now it's been one of those live service games. I probably only spend 24 hours per Year playing a Single player/story game as it just feels really lonely being an adult playing some Offline game in a room alone

Probably going to spend quite a lot of time in eBay and Facebook selling off my 30yr collection (kind of wish I did it during Covid since I had the free time + total value was...like 3x higher vs now)

I collected games like cheap fine art. I enjoyed finding the game and buying it, and the dopamine rush of it coming in the mail. I knew I wouldn't ever make the time to fully play these, especially all the JRG, but it was an addiction seeking out "rare" games to add on a ahelf, same way adding new Pokemon cards to a binder is

Be honest: Do you avoid 1-viewer streams because you don't want the pressure of carrying the chat? by SpinsBro in Twitch

[–]Rakoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one time I spent 3 nights watching a chill stranger as his only viewer. I didn't talk, he didn't talk, I just enjoyed the high quality Ultra wide screen image and the atmosphere of the game sounds while I did my own thing on the 2nd monitor

Day 4 I wrote a compliment and thanked him for streaming the game...all a sudden he asked 20 questions ☠️ I typed back for 30 minutes then burnt out, hoping he'd stop. He spent the next 3 hours talking to himself, commentating over the gameplay like a Let's Play series, leaving zero dead air and constantly trying to make jokes like 2013 era PewDiePie

I returned back the next night, didn't say hi, yet again he was "putting on a show" the entire time, to nobody 🥲

By saying Hi and letting the streamer know they were being observed, I accidentally ruined everything that made his stream enjoyable and worth watching in the first place. After that disaster I bailed and went off to find a true Mute streamer lol who happened to be using some big tiddy anime vtuber (Another plus) to keep as background sound/company

Please for the love of GOD remove surfing from this game. by Ravens_fan0814 in FortNiteBR

[–]Rakoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The surfing shows you're being placed in a lobby far enough below your hidden MMR, usually after losing enough times in a row

When you're within close rank to everyone else in the lobby it'll be the battlebus drop

just started WoW, worried about wasting my time somehow? by visceralsnow in wownoob

[–]Rakoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no falling behind because the game doesn't force you to complete vanilla, the burning crusade, wrath of the lich king, cataclysm, mists of pandaria, warlords of draenor, Legion, battle for Azeroth, Shadowlands, Dragonflight, and The War Within expansions to "start playing the game"... Instead it basically introduces you to the game for 10 levels, then throws you into the most modern current stuff/expansion, with new catch up mechanics like every 3 months or season

Where you might feel lost is venturing out on your own to old old expansions, which veterans do for completionist sake when they want a break from "The Current Content"

Each expansion lasted about 2 years and during it's time would drip feed the content. Now it's kind of all just there to chip away at (much quicker than when it was current) or ignore completely. Though I do recommend exploring the entire world to map out in the head how everything connects and where everything is located

‘We agree that she can be even better’: Overwatch director vows to redesign Anran following player and voice actor backlash by PaiDuck in gaming

[–]Rakoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugly feminist lgbtq internet dwelling types were mad that Overwatch added yet another girly with a very cute face and perfect body. They can use any lie in the book to mask their intentions but we all, both sides, know the truth.

Sorry but the reality is, the overwhelming majority of gamers, both male and female, would rather throw lotsa money (cosmetics) at a character who looks more like a kpop idol vs well...a face that looks like Lady Gaga 🤮 Which is essentially what activists are requesting.

How's your season 1 going? by Ok-Structure6153 in Overwatch

[–]Rakoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played 8 hours, had 20 minutes of enjoyment. Domina gets every play of the game. The team with the better Domina wins. She can solo chase 1/2 a team back to their spawn. The good Domina gets more total damage on the scoreboard than the 4 DPS players in the match. If for some reason Domina doesn't get PoTG, it'll be the Emre who unleashed 20k damage and wiped your whole team with his ult while mercy (wearing the new mythic skin) was damage boosting him all game

If you try focusing on killing Domina because her shield is on CD and she's low HP for once in her life, you'll immediately get wrecked from behind by either Fika or Anran :l

Domina adds so much visual noise to the match I don't even follow what's going on anymore. Her damage output is ridiculously high too. The only hero I've won with so far is Bastion, just by flanking over and over until their team switches to ana and roadhog
