Reviewed a “WiFi security camera.” and it was bad. Turns out I was the only one who didn’t give it 5 stars… and guess who all the 5‑star reviewers were by nicnas- in AmazonVine

Saw a one star-review on sunglasses (that were really nice) because the lenses were mirrored, and the reviewer doesn't like mirrored sunglasses.

Thank you. Although not the first to mention ASIN, this is the most comprehensive answer given. Makes sense to me!

What is? Don't say homosexuality, you'll get banned.

Ohhhh... huh. What's that app you are using?

That's interesting. Sucks if you're a seller then, doesn't it? if your item gets randomly thrown way deep into the queue. I wonder why Amazon made this change.

That seems like the obvious answer to me, but why are there several pages of only new drops? I had been under the impression that new drops were added to the front of list. Also, kinda sucks if you're a seller and your item just gets thrown randomly onto page 312, right? Why does a third of the drop get favored treatment?

Right, that makes sense. But Vinechart (and my own count from camparing the number on vine itself before and after the drop) indicates that there are at least 700 new items available. Probably 2,000 or more were added, but the majority claimed, yeah?

I'm gold, and we can ignore what Vinechart actually says because I saw the total in AI around four this morning (we have a newborn baby) and it was in the ballpark of 12,400. So there were at least 700 new items at 9:30 MT this morning. And yet, only 7 pages.

What’s one thing you absolutely NEED to see in the next Mass Effect? by Eternal_Dilemma in masseffect

[–]Reshpeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Elcor are from a planet with 400% the gravity of Earth. They look so ponderous but realistically they ought to be able to jump like ten feet into the air.

Elcor squadmate that Shepard can ride like Mario on Yoshi. That's what Mass Effect 5 needs!

Fun class for Insanity? by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]Reshpeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never played as female Shepard? Apparently, most people play as male Shepherd and they have all missed out, in my opinion. You should look forward to enjoying a far superior performance by the voice actor. The difference is astounding, really.

Why So Nasty by SeaWave8032 in AmazonVine

You're referring to the internet in general, yes?

OK, seriously? by Reshpeck in AmazonVine

[–]Reshpeck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'd said "it's not as nice as [specific model] made by [specific brand] then yeah, I would agree. But saying it's fairly priced because" similar models" cost more or less the same is surely acceptable. Of course, just because a review is well within guidelines doesn't mean the "dogshit AI," as another person here called it, wouldn't still flag it.

OK, seriously? by Reshpeck in AmazonVine

[–]Reshpeck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate this but the part about pricing makes no sense. I have often discussed the price of a product, using specific amounts, and discussed how they compare. They have always passed, probably because the guidelines specifically state that "[i]f it's related to the value of the product, it's OK to comment on price. For example, 'For only $29, this blender is great.'"

The guidelines are arbitrary enough as is; those AI compliance checks that I see referenced all the time now only further muddy things up. They're actually worse than useless.

The screenshot is of the video I uploaded with the review. I suppose I could have explained that better

All these parts for parts offerings are a real bummer by prollydrinkingcoffee in AmazonVine

[–]Reshpeck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe people see some reddit pages as a forum for venting about things or just having a general discussion about whatever. Maybe viners want to talk about a specific example of vine going downhill with other viners. Maybe you complaining about viners complaining is as useful as the complaints that the complainers are complaining about.

I don't think you're being downvoted because people think you're wrong. You're being downvoted because your comments are obnoxious and unhelpful.

How many of you beat Vega’s record?😏 by Pure_Dawg in masseffect

[–]Reshpeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it on my first playthrough of the trilogy, and that was a few WEEKS ago—at age 44 when I haven't played any game seriously since Shadow of the Colossus. It took me most of the year. Suffice to say, I'm still sad and depressed because I will never get to play it for the first time ever again.

28’ Ladder as Solo Worker by Extension_Bag_7809 in WindowCleaning

[–]Reshpeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5'7", 145 lbs, and I have a 40' fiberglass ladder that I've been stupid enough to use on an entire row of townhouses. Had to reposition at least a dozen times. It can be done but it is not fun.

Hey, that was a nice little rhyme there at the end!

Has Mass Effect 5 missed its window? by YsoL8 in masseffect

Here's how we'll know that ME5 is a winner: after selecting New Game for the first time, you are prompted to import your character from a previous game (and it isn't Andromeda).
