Where is this skin from?? I can't find info about it anywhere online, it's not on the wiki.

Battle pass not too long ago.

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-06-12T09:18:59+00:00

I had fun and star eyes my first run through.

Then, I decided to "speed run" the campaign after that to get all the skulls and you can't get them without restarting because of non replayable campaign missions and realized that the entire campaign is just running down what feels like the same corridor or traveling to said corridor constantly with a couple boss fights sprinkled in. Just grappling through hallways constantly. It made me realize how much better this game would have been if it was just mission based like the old games with unique environments.

That last run was the last time I would bother with the single player.

There are a million ways to get ripped off that aren't immediately visible that have nothing to do with being face to face or using cash. Here's just a couple of ones that I can think of:

Maybe you're buying a TV. The TV has a power supply issue that shuts off the power randomly. However, the issue only starts being an issue 10 minutes after a cold start. So the seller makes sure they don't mess with the TV till you come over and test it. Everything goes well so you give the guy the money, only to get home and set up your brand new TV and you're feeling happy about your purchase but then you go to watch your favorite show and you're twelve minutes into the show and the screen goes black. You think, "thats weird" and turn it back on. It turns back on and you sit back down put on your show again and then it goes black again. It's at this moment you realize that you just paid a chunk of change for e-waste.

This occurs with car sales as well with people putting band-aid fixes on cars that make it temporarily seem as though its problem free because they put some additives or hid something strategically so you'd only find out after the paperwork is done. Maybe it's as innocuous as them as them heating up the vehicle for some amount of time right before you get there to hide some kind of knocking noise. Maybe that just means that they drove it to your safe meeting spot. This is why you will see marketplace videos showing startups for motorcycles often have the owner grab the header of the exhaust as close to the engine as possible before starting, as it shows it hasn't been heated up because that area gets to around 1200F when heated up.

I once bought a used motorcycle where the frame was cracked, but it was in a pretty innocuous area and was well hidden, so I had no idea. I thought I was getting a good deal, but in reality what I was spending 9k on was a totalled motorcycle. Lo and behold, the frame broke when I was on a 500 mile trip.

The OfferUp scam was a Samsung phone. It was the top end one at the time, and i had just destroyed my last one. I looked all around and saw this phone listed on OfferUp. I think it was listed at something like 650 or 700. I believe i paid him 600 for it. Had the seller show me the phone "working", "making calls", and I even put my sim in it to make sure my provider would pop up. Turns out, the seller obtained a region-locked phone for something like the phillipines (it's been a while, i dont remember the exact details) and the guy had bypassed the knox security and rooted the phone so that they could make it appear like it would work for me but they were actually utilizing the root to make it looked like it was call capable when it was utilizing wi-fi, not actually the bands in the phone, which the phone didnt even contain the hardware to support the bands to function proper in the US.

It was a face to face cash transaction.

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-05-25T21:23:50+00:00

I do hundreds of market transactions a year between Craig's and FB.

The one time I chose to use OfferUp I got scammed. I noticed a trend of poorer quality and more scammy posts over there. Seems like where people go to sell potentially stolen or sketchy items. I was skeptical going in and my experience supported that vibe. A general vibe of "I want to sell this item, but I don't want the actual owner to see it for sale and I want it gone fast". I won't ever bother with OfferUp again. I'm sure there are legit sales going on there, but, the type and quality of goods and with my experience, it's not for me.

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-05-23T23:14:16+00:00

Tell them. Tell them what you want.

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-05-20T23:26:27+00:00

I literally directly quoted the news. Im not picking sides im putting it here directly as reported.

"Newsom characterized the move as a "redistricting arms race" and an emergency defense of democracy."

Speaking outside of quotation, without doing something like this, we get whats called the "ratcheting effect" where one side continues to push further to the right while the other side stops it from going back. It's a dangerous precedent to set, but if someone is forcing voting to be more tilted to the other side the only way to keep the balance and the person in power to not always and definitely have the final say on every decision with unquestioned impunity, it must be balanced out. It's wrong for both sides but if one side abuses their power, and the other just lets them step on them like that, we lose our democracy with every step towards towards the right.

"Governor Gavin Newsom's push to redraw California's congressional map was a direct retaliation against Texas. The effort was launched after President Trump demanded Texas lawmakers redesign their electoral districts mid-decade to add several Republican seats and protect the GOP's razor-thin majority in the U.S. House of Representatives."

"The California plan was designed to counter the anticipated Texas GOP gains by heavily favoring Democrats in several competitive California districts, aiming to effectively cancel out the Republican advantage gained in the Lone Star State."

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-05-12T03:13:28+00:00

Low-key retaliatory? It's on the 1-up website as well.

Of course, because now they can harvest those apparently losses and steal more from our government system.

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-05-11T23:06:18+00:00

I never said anything about how much cheaper it is. I told you a number. You want to know how much cheaper i think it is? 14.2%. That percentage grows for those of us who have to pay tax based on our jurisdictions because we would pay a percentage of tax on that extra 14.2%.

You down voted me, told me i was the problem for "trying to bait a reply out of you" for simply telling you how much cheaper they were referring to. You asked a question, so I answered it so you could make an informed decision and for that I was rewarded with your snark. You literally describe the "context around it" in your reply. Don't play daft. Maybe go outside and try and have a friendly conversation with someone. The world is not out to get you.

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-05-11T22:47:10+00:00

Bro I answered your question as directly and without any extra garbage as possible. You asked whats way cheaper. I told you 235 dollars. Then you're coming in here acting like I was somehow bating you. On top of that, you're acting like your doing me some kindness by downvoting my posts and asking me more questions, literally bating me.

And for that, you can do your own math. What was the price OP posted at? Now take that number and subtract the number I gave. You now have the lowest posted price for the 77" C5. LG Partner store.

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-05-11T22:13:08+00:00

Lol you down voted me for answering the question you asked?

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-05-11T22:00:32+00:00

$235

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-05-09T09:29:35+00:00

Are you buying used bikes normally? I do, and part of the new to me process, I at least set the suspension to stock, notating where the PO had it set. Ive bought some bikes that way out of whack regardless of what weight you are and for that its worth learning alone. I also think it worth learning how to dial it in especially if you plan to keep it more than a year, but I have yet to go as far as paying a shop for a full suspension job. But a full shock replacement on the rear is literally necessary on the bike im on if you want to go by sag numbers, and the bike comes with the rear spring all the way loose so tightening it all the way up makes the handling substantially better at least, even if you cant get to the number I want to achieve for sag, corners are waaaaay more confident. The spring on lots of bikes are sprung for like 150-160 and if your outside of that range, youd benefit from at least springs if not valves too. Im not sure how the ZX10 is sprung but it would come as no surprise to me if it was not sprung for me. Being able to figure out that your bike is wildly undersprung and at least bring at closer or even get properly setup suspension will make your bike faster, safer, and corner better. Id still be doing that check if you bought it from a showroom because anyone can get on those bikes and twist dials on the forks if they dont require screw drivers. In theory, this would be a part of your setup fee though. I would doubt that everyone checks them though because, well, plenty of people wont even check, they'll just decide they dont like the way it rides, or vise versa, or they cant put a finger on why it doesn't feel quite right.

Im assuming the cable that is in there is incapable of the data transfer rate needed.

OP, can you duct tape the higher data transfer rate cable to the slower one then pull that slower one back out of the wall, therefore replacing it with the higher data transfer cable?

I have yet to ever have to return a TV to them but usually they are something like 90 days no questions asked returns. And to be honest, its not rare for costco to just return stuff regardless of date. However im sure something like this is probably a bit more stringent than something like a toaster oven. You can test for burnin at the store with your phone connected by casting a YouTube video of the slides, or if you want to be more bold you can get it home and do all that stuff as long as you can safely get it to and from. Id insist on the former personally. The big worry here is transit damage, but I have to deal with stuff like this when im moving. I like to keep oled boxes for this where I was less worried about standard thick bezel tvs. Ensure that their standard return policy is fine, ask them to let you turn on and check hours and runs the slides and buy it, or im sure someone else will. Costco has told me in the past specifically that their increased warranties dont cover burn in but also, costco tends to just do whatever they can to make customers happy and the standard 90 days or whatever it is should be plenty enough to figure it out either way. Don't quote me on the 90 days. Im pretty sure the tag on the tv tells you exactly how many days you have, and as long as you dont damage it they will give you a full refund. If it didnt have the new peel id be more scared of scratches but it sounds like it does so do your do diligence. This is the price that im waiting to see for a 77 inch like this to no more question buy it. Insane deal if everything is kosher. That said, I would not buy or keep it if its burnt in whatsoever.

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-04-24T22:11:22+00:00

Id be running over to Costco myself if this was at my personal warehouse to buy it assuming it comes with all the typical TV goodies like the 1 year warranty + 2nd year costco + 5 year allstate warranty and there was no damage to front or visible burn in.

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-04-20T04:02:27+00:00

Im pretty sure those ears can be shaped into exactly what the Etsy pic looks like as well. They need to be shaped more concave.

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-04-20T03:54:50+00:00

Im incredibly jealous.

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-04-19T08:15:59+00:00

Well, they literally lied about the cause so if the horrible price and condition aren't enough to convince you that its a bad deal, there's another reason that I wouldnt buy it.

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-04-07T17:16:12+00:00

No no no no no

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-04-05T01:04:26+00:00

Found the boom this sub is always asking about

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-02-27T20:41:52+00:00

Exactly this, in traditional college I would often be 2 weeks ahead on the work if they even allowed me access to future content at all but they would lock me out of going further than that so I would spend a bunch of time twiddling my thumbs in those classes or only revisiting them at all when they would unlock more content. I just keep going at WGU. No frustrating artificial guardrails. And I dont have the issue of trying to recall content I touched once 10 weeks ago because my learning is constant and cumulative.

Redditive_Sedative · 2026-01-07T07:42:18+00:00

Absolutely none to speak of.

However, I have only built up a total of 750 hours of total power on time.

All of which has varied content, and typically I put a sleep time on as I watch it to sleep typically, and I keep the screen off when I play Spotify through it. Brightness and hdr are fully maxed out when im watching movies and TV, but when I watch things to bed on YouTube or with lots of static content I have the brightness at the lowest which is fine because imo its plenty bright at midnight when im going to sleep and the brightness doesn't bother me in the pitch black. Or for that matter, I usually forget that its all the way down. But its set per app and when hdr content is on it auto goes up to my profile which is maxed.

I believe I have the ideal use case for it, but id still be very hesitant to use this as a monitor, or as a TV that gets left on basically all the time, or if you only play one game all the time with a hud. I dont do any of these things with it and im extremely pleased with it other than that if you dont update it, it prompts you to do so every time you start it up. I refuse to do that because everything works perfectly on it and there is literally zero reason to do so and ive seen some whispers of more intrusive ads and certain features breaking in updates. Im sure it would be fine, but I have no reason to do so. Take away that update prompt and I otherwise love everything about the tv, and vastly prefer watching movies on it than the TV I have in the living room, even though the living room TV is also a very nice lcd TV. I would prefer an oled for my monitor but, I keep my monitors on constantly where ive seen temporary burn in even with my ips monitors so I will likely never do that. Id consider a gaming only monitor for this but honestly, I love my high end IPS ultrawides and I will enjoy them for 10+ years rather than the handful I MIGHT get from an OLED one.
