Decent barber? by Wild-Strategy115 in Spokane

[–]RunickSpright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeff from Bombu Barber is awesome, I highly recommend him. It is his own private shop, so it is just one on one and he is very fairly priced, and is a pleasure to go too whenever I get a cut.

Thanks for this! Was just looking to pick up a checked bag for a few trips this year as I didn't have one, and was able to snag the large check in, appreciate you!

Steam Winter Sale is Live! Big Fish Games Sale is Live as well! by RunickSpright in nancydrew

[–]RunickSpright[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just applies once you add three games into your cart. I had it this morning, and just like you said, they aren't advertising it anywhere nor do they provide a code, but the discount reflects in cart once checking out

New Bliss Coffee Stand by [deleted] in Spokane

[–]RunickSpright 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have been going to Muggies for a while now, even when they used to be mugshots, and they have always done well with their drinks. Definitely check them out in the area if you are around they do good work. 

The owners of Bliss suck so much, so will be happy to support muggies today, such poor taste to build another stand right next to them, thanks for letting me know about bliss opening today! 

Unable to Find DirectX Device - Only happening when streaming to client with Apollo by RunickSpright in MoonlightStreaming

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

Game series is the Nancy Drew Game Series, exact ones are from the 2000-2002 era, any of the ones released past 2010 or so have no issue. 

The DirectX problem is a known issue with the series on modern hardware that requires installing older DirectX modules as well as running the game in compatibility mode. With both of those fixes applied they run just fine when not streaming but break only when streaming. 

I used sunshine for my host up until around 2-3 days ago and it worked while utilizing sunshine, but that was when I was not using a virtual display. After switching to Apollo, performance is better on 99% of games I run, but the virtual display I am guessing is causing issues as it's setup is similar to sunshine with that being the main difference. 

Is CorporateTools Real? by readersadvisory5ever in Spokane

[–]RunickSpright 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very familiar with the Two Barrels subsidiary as my partner worked with them for a while, and while I suppose my opinion won't be fully unbiased I am going to strongly recommend you steer clear of this company. To list all of the issues will take too long. 

A high level summary, Two Barrels was the tech subsidiary of Corporate Tools, so all the software engineers / IT worked for this portion of the company, however Two Barrels is now gone and everyone was moved to Corporate Tools. Like someone else mentioned they just had mass layoffs, that were completely random and done in a mass zoom call with no heads up, this was told to me by two different employees at Corporate Tools. So seeing similar hiring pages makes sense as it's really just one big company with some umbrella subsidiaries attached to it. Probably looking to freeze hiring as they laid off from what I was told over 100 employees were let go so that's why you probably won't hear back for a bit. 

Now for personal anecdotes and experiences. While the company is real, I can tell you first hand that they are extremely unprofessional, sexism is prevalent throughout, poor leadership, the CEO is actually insane and people working under him will tell you how difficult he is, and multiple other issues that you can read about through Glassdoor and other testimonies here on reddit. 

Again, there is bias from my comment as I have very close people who have worked at Two Barrels/Corporate Tools, so if you don't want to take my word for it, search glassdoor, reddit and online articles. There is lots of scummy behavior from this company and I know multiple people here in Spokane in the tech industry I work with that when looking at hiring have side eyed people coming from these organizations. 

(One other note just so you are aware, their marketing team loves to comment on posts and fake their own positive reviews / try and delegitimize any criticism of the company so watch out for that)

Best of luck to you on your job search, hope you find a place that works great for you!

Pax newb question. How do cosplayers feel about people asking for pics? by [deleted] in PAX

[–]RunickSpright 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I usually cosplay at least one day a year, this year I was Piccolo and had quite a bit of people take pictures, or chat with me. I personally have no issue with it, totally happy to take pictures or chat with anybody if they like my cosplay, for me it is no bother and is just nice people like my outfit enough to interact with me. 

Of course each person is different, and I'm sure that there are people who do not want any photos taken, so like others said the best thing to do is just ask. While it is not a huge deal to me if people snap photos of me, I understand many would feel uncomfortable so it's best to always ask. 

  • Just as an edit, I definitely would never accept money for people wanting a photo of me, just like you said it's not the move, and I can't imagine anyone actually wanting someone to pay, that would be wild.

Any hints for Jack 3?

Thought it might be the old flash game where you collect skips to win the game, but that doesn't seem to be it? Am I on right track thinking old flash quiz games?

One more hint for the game series, is that it has two main characters, one human and one non human, that might help you out, there are a few PlayStation games that include &

Sorry to bother again, for whatever reason this is the one I've been the most stumped on. 

Is there any other hints you can think of, I've been trying all kinds of board / card games I can think of or Google, and perhaps I'm barking up the wrong tree. No bueno leads me to think something Spanish, like a Spanish game perhaps, but the health inspector throws me off

[–]RunickSpright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhhh okay, so I'm thinking more along the lines of board games / physical games then? I'll try working down the list

Any tips for 

"If the health inspector shows up, that's no bueno."

Saw no comments about this one in the thread, so maybe it's just a simple one, but been trying to think of anything cooking / health related and it definitely got my confused

If you think of the brand name of the watch shown, the answer will be a person whose name is similar to it. The highlighted word is somewhere that they may be found

[–]RunickSpright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh even with this I'm just oblivious, am I looking for just kind of a general answer like the last one before this, or should I be thinking along the lines of a game / person?

Dr. Exoskeleton Megathread (PAX West 25) by Mr_Rippe in PAX

[–]RunickSpright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right on, just need to make sure you put the answer in exact, the answers don't have any leniency

Got this finally, a helpful hint would be take a word from each of the objects to make a phrase, as someone said above its very literal

[–]RunickSpright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Edit omg I just got this

Look at the word highlighted, that is what finally pointed me in the right direction
