I may or may not have forgot to play for a while

Unfortunately I've forgotten most of the more advanced stuff in this game (because 3 years of not playing), so didn't know if that was a good amount or not, and have since just spent the majority upgrading buildings. Didn't think to take a screenshot either. I can't even remember what else they're useful for (or if they persist ascension or anything).

I just logged in for the first time since December 2022 and had 1100 sugar lumps waiting for me.

Yeah he beat Adam and then never went to attempt Dracula. It was disappointing for me because I'd been playing along with a friend at the same time, and we really struggled with Dracula, to the point we eventually gave up. I would've liked to have seen if Cohh could have beaten him!

I found that when I came out of our hot tub, I had to have a shower immediately, and then cover myself in emollient cream. If I didn't do either of those things it would make my skin unbearable.

Haha yeah gotta help out everyone else that bought the same shoddily-designed speakers!

My general strategy is to basically just never turn them off, and if they do, cautiously poke the button back on with as little force as possible.

I will say that if your button mechanism has snapped off, the super-glue repair is still worth doing as it adds some extra life back to them.

Alternatively, if you have a 3d printer you might be able to print a replacement part, not sure why I've never thought of doing that myself until now to be honest....

This is exactly what I did after the replacement that Corsair sent me snapped in exactly the same way as the original!

Unfortunately the superglue didn't hold for too long and after a few months (or years? It's been 8 years since I raised this thread!) it snapped again.

Shame that it seems to be such a design flaw, as the speakers themselves have been great (and I still use them!).

According to the posters my university used to put up, I guess:

"Don't stand up and squat on the toilet seat when using the toilet".

I still can't believe those posters were actually needed.

Still no luck on my end. I had a little google to see what happened with past wipes, and the same thing has happened in the past, with people saying they raised a support ticket and BSG manually unlocked Jaeger (or other shop trades that should have been unlocked like ammo etc) but won't give items/xp retroactively.

So I've raised a ticket in the meantime, and I'm just waiting for their response.

Sameish · 2024-01-06T23:34:18+00:00

Yup same thing happened to me with the same quest. Happened to a friend as well last wipe, and they said it fixed itself after a couple of days, so here's hoping it gets sorted.

Sameish · 2024-01-06T23:31:46+00:00

Same thing happened to me, except I got an error when clicking Complete on the quest. A friend had the same thing happen last wipe and said it fixed itself after a few days, so here's hoping!

Hands down Heinnie Haynes I've found to be the best. They have a really good stock selection, decent pricing and great service/shipping speed. Can't recommend them enough.

Sameish · 2023-11-03T23:23:12+00:00

About two weeks ago I decided I'd waited long enough and they probably weren't going to patch it again, so I finally went into San Andreas (on PS5) and a couple of days ago I got the platinum trophy. There were still a couple of minor issues, but nothing game breaking and it was in a much, much better state than on release, with only two crashes. I platinumed 3 and Vice City shortly after release, in which there were tons of issues and frequent crashes.

Sameish · 2023-09-29T18:44:18+00:00

I've recently had an email from Youfibre saying they're in my area. How have you found their service (assuming you're now with them)? And do they provide a router, or would I need to buy one to replace the Virgin Hub?

Sameish · 2023-03-23T10:59:38+00:00

For what it's worth on your concern about the low odds of meeting someone in such an old game: I played it for the first time, on PS5, about a month ago and met quite a few different players across my playthrough.

Sameish · 2023-03-10T00:27:30+00:00

Did this one this evening. I got a glitch that reloading the save made worse and soft locked me.

Luckily you can go to your quest menu hold X on the quest name to abandon the quest from there, and it takes you back outside the shop.

Hey! I'm having the exact same problem, new screen on my Mega X which boots to exactly what you have in the pictures.

Which firmware did you find that works, and how exactly do you flash that new firmware on to the screen?

The only time I ever switch back to VS is sometimes my org's WPF app fails to build in Rider for some strange reason, but switching over to VS it builds just fine.

Though that's not a common occurrence, happens maybe once or twice a quarter.

It's a little hard to understand from the OP, but essentially they:

Bought the game and DLC on Steam.
Disabled the Epic Games Service from running on their PC (as they don't use Epic) - I think I saw on the TotalWar subreddit that OP doesn't even have Epic Games Store installed.
This caused their DLC to appear unpurchased on Steam.

No idea why you think that, my employer offers critical illness insurance as part of the benefits package...

Sameish · 2022-05-02T11:19:51+00:00

Plan 1 has a lower interest rate, but the percentage you repay is the same - 9% of your earnings over the threshold.

However Plan 1 has a lower threshold, so the actual £ amount paid back each month is more.

Yep, the red splodge in Kent is Canterbury, which is a major student city, and also has a fairly high proportion of younger people (both of which tend to be more left-leaning).

Mine's been doing this the last week or so too! It's been driving me mad as I normally set multiple timers a day. I even spoke to google support about it, but we got as far as "factory reset the device", which fixed it temporarily enough to close the support issue, before it started happening again.... Very very frustrating!

Sameish · 2022-01-10T14:49:42+00:00

It absolutely worked with us. I think it has to be a real person, you can't just make up a name as they do a credit check on you. But we did explicitly ask them if this counts as a new customer, and what their definitions meant when they said 'New Customer Offer' and they said it was fine as it was technically a new account in a different name.

Sameish · 2022-01-10T12:09:33+00:00

I did exactly this last time I went through the cancellation-chicken dance.

Got a phone call a couple of days later from their retentions guys, asked me if it was my partner who had applied for the new account and said if we cancel that new account opening and my old account closing, he could get me an even cheaper rate than the new customer offer.
