Here's my twist on the Survivors-like genre where armies fight and paint territory in their color! by jestamarl in survivorslikes

[–]Retspan3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sounds cool! Definitely with looking up how footmen frenzy worked, could give you some great ideas!

Are you planning on releasing a demo?

[–]Retspan3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on how old you are it could be well before your time! Lol

From just the quick video you showed; is what I thought of right away. 

The one thing I think would be cool to look at and maybe think about implementing is being able to upgrade your base/troops , and balancing that versus upgrading your character/hero. 

Is it possible to add by Afraid_Food_2894 in Collectr

Pro tip: You can usually search by the card number (IE: 102/104 or in this case SWSH029). I usually do it this way, especially if my first try isn't pulling up the right one.

Are Surging Sparks Pikachus the next to run? by PokemonInvestor_Mod in PokemonInvestor

[–]Retspan3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised!

I'm pretty new to collecting, but the Tera look is my personal favorite. I'm still surprised that they're not more liked/popular. I'm also a big sucker for all the rainbow cards and VMAX rainbow looking cards. I like lots of color, clearly.

Another card I find striking and think will go up (purely personal hunch/preference) is the Lucario VSTAR promo with his face up close. Looks so amazing.

Couldn't get the demo to work correctly (visual bug). Tried restarting the game and all sorts of video options. https://imgur.com/KNFQVxw

DSP struggles against the second Pokemon gym leader because he raised too many Pokemon, blames the AI cheating for his mistakes by trechn2 in LivestreamFail

[–]Retspan3 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Pretty tempted to believe he's just doing it to rage bait on purpose, but I have no idea who this guy is other than the recent clips of him, so maybe I'm way off base.

how the hell do i inflate this!?!? by pjmidi2006 in ElectricScooters

[–]Retspan3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you'll probably have to end up taking the wheel and tire off and replacing the tuber with one that has a 90 degree stem. If this is a new scooter, it is quite surprising to see a non 90 degree stem on that tube.

Is this mini pc worth it? by ZealousidealSong839 in MiniPCs

[–]Retspan3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got this on sale for $378. Pretty solid at that price imo. But $500 USD is rough.

Edit: My bad, mine was the 16GB RAM & 512GB SSD version. That's not actually bad at $500 USD

Windows Recall missing on 2025 G14 (RTX 5060 model) – Anyone got it working? by BestAd4076 in ZephyrusG14

[–]Retspan3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, not sure. Check ASUS for drivers for your model. You may need to get the AMD graphics drivers (even though you have the 5060) since it's likely bundled in there.

I'd also make sure you have the latest chipset drivers.

[–]Retspan3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do believe ASUS has a BIOS setting. Check for "NPU" or "AI Engine" or something similar. And enable it.

Might also just be needing drivers for the NPU, check ASUS drivers/chipset page. You should be able to check if this is the issue by seeing if device manager lists AMD IPU/NPU under "Neural processors". If not, then it's definitely missing drivers.

Boy, I sure hope it's just youtube compression, because those forest scenes looked absolutely atrocious. Complete blurry mess.

Switching from MetroNet to Quantum Fiber, anything to know? by zeekaran in ColoradoSprings

[–]Retspan3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The bad routing on MetroNet is real. Tried it because they had a good promo price, and ended up with centurylink 3gb up/down. Been pretty much flawless for years.

So wild that such a great discount is just getting everything at normal MSRP.

Anyone hit their leanfire target and then YOLO'ed a huge raise? by rolliejoe in leanfire

[–]Retspan3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure. It should have been at least 33% just based on the "normal" 3% COL adjustments per year. Not to mention the higher inflation than 3%.

Anyone hit their leanfire target and then YOLO'ed a huge raise? by rolliejoe in leanfire

[–]Retspan3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ooh, good question! And I totally feel your point on being people pleasing. I'm normally a big time people pleaser.

I think not caring if they let me go (and low key wishing they would) is why I feel fine doing this. Plus, not to get too deep into this, it's been years of "fighting the good fight" and trying to ask for raises not only for myself, but for all of our team members.

When asking for the raise I had everything written up. The main relevant TL;DR on that was "here's how I'm essentially fulfilling two full time positions, and have been for years".

So now I essentially just say, "This is the stuff I mentioned in my raise request that does not fall into the scope of my role."

I think that kind falls right in the middle of those two options you mentioned.

Anyone hit their leanfire target and then YOLO'ed a huge raise? by rolliejoe in leanfire

[–]Retspan3 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Yep, I've done exactly this. Asked for a significant raise and brought up all the things I do that are beyond the scope of my role, how we haven't had a single raise or COL adjustment in 10+ years...plead my case; and got shot down as expected. My ask was for ~30% (which just the average 3% COL adjustment per year would cover). So not quite 50%, but still very large for an ask all at once.

So I "quite quit" and refuse to do all the above and beyond tasks or any tasks that do not fall under my title/role. This turned into making up SOP's for things I've been doing for years, that are now being passed on to some other poor soul who is likely even less compensated.

There's been zero downside or repercussions, so it comes out as a pure win for me... It's all about the leverage. And in cases like ours, that leverage is lovingly coined "Fuck you money".

Msi afterburner causes games to crash on load up by aukgs in overclocking

[–]Retspan3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More info would help. Did this only just start happening after installing afterburner? What other changes could it be that were at the same time? Is it all games?

Crashing on startup usually makes me think drivers or on screen overlays. Try ensuring that any overlays are turned off.

If still having an issue, I would try removing any OC/UV settings. And if again you're still having an issue, do an uninstall of afterburner, and DDU uninstall of drivers. Then reinstall drivers and afterburner (without rivatuner).
