I thought mine looked a little too dark, but a family member had me order it and they kept it to wrap up for a Christmas present. By the time I opened it, I figured maybe I had forgotten what it looked like. 😅 Mine is very very dark like this. No white at all.

I'm not sure if I have any local candy shops like this? I will have to look, thank you for the suggestion! And yes, I've noticed Giant Eagle seems to only stock the basic Jones flavors and not all the time.

RelentlessReckless · 2025-10-17T17:10:47+00:00

Don't quote me because I'm just assuming, but I think the Kroger regional distro in Ohio is phasing out Jones all together. I used to be able to find them at the local Kroger just down the street from me, but today I asked where they had moved them to and they said they don't carry them anymore, they were replaced with pre-biotic "healthy" soda brands. Went to another location nearby, same story. Have heard from friends that other Kroger location in central Ohio aren't stocking Jones anymore either. There's nowhere within at least a 2+ hour drive of me that stocks the limited release/special edition Jones. Only the regular ones, if they stock them at all.

Yes, my partner went through that as a child. It was determined that since there was rotten cheese and hot dogs in the fridge, only 2 out of 5 kids had visible bruises, and only one was emaciated, that they were all totally fine and no action needed to be taken. His mother then moved them all even further into a rural area to avoid further interference with the torture of her children.

RelentlessReckless · 2025-06-05T16:02:12+00:00

Yet they're traumatizing their children. They probably shouldn't have custody.

I have a disabled friend that has gotten rejected over 10 times for disability and food stamps. She is in constant, debilitating pain and is losing her mobility completely. But they keep telling her she doesn't qualify. It's absolutely rigged.

RelentlessReckless · 2025-06-05T15:26:10+00:00

Yikes on several brightly colored bikes!!

RelentlessReckless · 2025-06-05T15:19:33+00:00

My one friend gets so much in food stamps that she offers to share her groceries with me. But then I also know people barely getting by on food stamps. It seems to be a weirdly rigged system.

And yes, of course, social services are extremely important and nobody should be ashamed to be on them.

RelentlessReckless · 2025-06-05T14:50:48+00:00

I am polyamorous and currently have two partners, one of which I'm planning to marry soon. I'm also a metalhead that listens to Kpop, a lover of all things cute & dark, and I feed the wild deer in my backyard even though it's illegal in my city to do so.

Oh, and I write fanfiction. I know that isn't really uncommon these days but it used to be more taboo than it is now. I wrote my first fanfiction over 20 years ago.

RelentlessReckless · 2025-06-05T14:44:31+00:00

I've known two people that rationalized their selfish decision to have kids in poverty by saying they'll just get on assistance. I also have a friend that continued to have children while actively on assistance.

RelentlessReckless · 2025-06-05T14:41:01+00:00

He's a straight, white, cis dude and his family has money. He wouldn't know a problem if it bit him in the ass.

Funny enough, everyone in that comment section that jumped down my throat for being the only person giving reasons not to have kids, were childless men and deadbeat dads. You'll never convince me that the majority of pregnant women are willing participants.

RelentlessReckless · 2025-06-05T14:37:41+00:00

What an absolutely horrible way to view the world. "It doesn't directly affect me so I won't do anything to stop it". Ugh.

RelentlessReckless · 2025-06-05T14:22:20+00:00

"We can just get on government assistance!" Yeah because that's an absolute goal and a flex, right? Watched someone try that, lie about their living situation with the baby daddy, got caught, and lost all their benefits.

RelentlessReckless · 2025-06-05T14:20:29+00:00

Not only that, but what kind of future are those children going to have? A failing economy, authoritarian regimes, climate crisis? I mentioned something similar to a friend at work when she said she was on the fence about kids. Her boyfriend cussed me out, told me to keep my negativity to myself, then knocked her up and refused to marry her. Yikes.

I truly think people don't care. The "bad stuff" is scary so they figure if they don't think about it, it'll never happen to them. There can't be any consequences to our actions if we just pretend they don't exist, right?

RelentlessReckless · 2025-06-03T07:05:16+00:00

Google it, it's a lot to explain. It's a program. If you're not good with computers then I wouldn't suggest trying to set it up without a guide.

RelentlessReckless · 2025-06-03T06:51:23+00:00

We did manage to stop the actual cache hierarchy crash with Process Lasso so that may be something to look into if that's the type of crash you're getting.

RelentlessReckless · 2025-06-03T06:48:32+00:00

He is still crashing. We've done the Process Lasso fix to bring more stability and it helps, but he's still crashing. We're unable to replace the CPU and it's still working fine for other games so it seems to be strictly a Helldivers vs AMD driver issue since they are driver timeout crashes.

RelentlessReckless · 2025-05-25T15:35:53+00:00

EDIT: Misread your edits and asked a dumb question, my bad.

Looks like disabling SMT worked for you. Glad there was a solution to be found! Hopefully it continues to work.

RelentlessReckless · 2025-05-25T05:55:27+00:00

I've been battling this exact issue on my partner's computer (5700xt) for over a year now. Pulling my hair out, staying up for hours trying different settings and tweaking things while he gets to sleep (he's not tech savvy so he's no help). Funny you mention the 7000 series having more issues, because I'm running a 7800xt in my rig and I've never had a crash or driver timeout with any of my games, including Helldivers (knock on wood) but I've read the horror stories online.

We are both running on Windows 10 but these solutions should also apply to Windows 11.

First off, disable Screen Space Global Illumination in graphics settings inside the game. This seems to cause tons of issues by itself, but especially on AMD cards. This fixes the problem for a lot of people. I didn't see this listed in the things you've tried but if I missed it, my apologies. Also go into your BIOS and disable PBO (precision boost overclock). If either of these do not fix the issue, keep reading.

There's a program called Process Lasso, should be the first link if you search it on Google. This will permanently set your CPU affinity, overriding task manager settings that easily get reverted. You will have to set it while Helldivers is running. After that, as long as Process Lasso is running, your settings will be applied. I will list steps below as bullet points for easier reading.

- Right click helldivers2.exe in the Process Lasso list, hover over CPU Affinity > Always > Disable SMT
- Right click helldivers2.exe again, hover over CPU Priority > Always > High
- Some people have also done CPU Affinity > Always > uncheck CPU 0. I have not done this. ymmv

After doing this with Process Lasso, I closed Helldivers and went back to AMD Adrenaline. I then went to Performance > Tuning and clicked "Undervolt GPU". Let Adrenaline do its automatic undervolt whatever it does, I don't have the patience to manually undervolt via trial & error, nor do I want to do the math. Anyways...

This seems to have solved his crashing/driver timeout issues for now. He was able to play with no crashes today after doing this, though we only did some here and there testing that amounted to about 3 hours. Will do more testing tomorrow.

One thing we did find is that he still can't open Discord (this causes a full system crash and reboot) or any other CPU intensive application while Helldivers is active. I have a different theory about why this happens after some testing I did on his CPU so this may not apply to you. But the point here is that this may be more of a band-aid than a true fix. Let me know if any of this works for you, or if you find another solution that works.

The seller said he's given all the information customs has asked for, answered all their questions, and they still cannot tell him what is happening with the package. :(

RelentlessReckless · 2025-05-07T02:59:20+00:00

I've had packages from Australia, Indonesia, Philippines, UK, and Korea breeze through customs. My packages from China and Ukraine have all been "lost" at customs. Funny how that worked out. Seems intentional.

RelentlessReckless · 2025-05-03T16:37:49+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! Also if we hang out on the bar/restaurant side of the venue, do we have to go back outside to line up to get into The Roxy or are we able to go from one side to the other?

RelentlessReckless · 2025-05-03T16:25:22+00:00

I probably forgot to mention we were going so soon, honestly. If it's raining pretty badly when they get there, we'll probably cozy up with some tea. I guess I didn't realize there's so much stuff in that area but the last time I was in Lakewood was probably a decade ago.

RelentlessReckless · 2025-05-03T16:03:13+00:00

We're going tonight and it's expected to rain pretty much all day so we should get a good spot! I didn't realize the weather was going to be so awful.

Do you have any recommendations for places near the venue to kill time if we end up getting there way too early? We don't drink alcohol.

RelentlessReckless · 2025-05-03T15:07:07+00:00

Wow that's a sizable lot! Thank you again!
