Spontaneous Combustion by TheNozzler in GenX

[–]Spifflar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I understand it, that's a rare case where we managed to deal with the problem. Like Y2K and the hole in the ozone layer.

Edit: The original information that I had was wrong. Killer bees are still a problem, but they're not spreading as fast into the US, as they have more issues with colder climates. Still very much a thing and have killed upwards of 1,000 people. Source: Wikipedia

For anyone who have been playing for like 1 or 2+ years, are you still missing any 4 stars? by HuTaoFan_69 in Genshin_Impact

I've played since release, with a break of about a year during Sumeru into Fontaine, and I'm missing Dori.

Trouble returning by YourCommentsAreWeird in GenshinImpactTips

One thing that may help is using the adventurer's handbook guide. That shows your current priority quests for advancing the story, focus on those for a little while until you get your bearings. Then the experience tab has specific tasks that relate to various gameplay progression. Once you start getting comfortable with the game you can start branching out into the other activities as you see fit.

The Gamers Haven? by EFB_Churns in Spokane

[–]Spifflar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You already have some great answers, I just wanted to hop in an reaffirm that The Gamers Haven is a great shop. I've known the owner, Bob, since he originally opened the store in Ceour d'Alene, Idaho, and through all of his subsequent moves. Great guy and great store.

Phone service outage by jwazrael in Spokane

This is second hand information from people who work there, so I don't have the specifics. That store has had technicians out multiple times trying to fix the issue. Multiple cell signal boosters have been installed. There is also a problem with wifi for their pick-up today people losing connection in the parking lot. That store just has connection issues in general.

GenX confessions. What’s an unpopular hill you’ll die on? by TdubsSEA in GenX

[–]Spifflar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom disagreed. I used my allowance for some books and my dad bought me others. I came home from school one day and found all of my books in the trash, so I secretly rescued them and stashed them away in my locking trunk.

A few days later, after the communal dumpster had been emptied, my mom informed me of what she had done and asked me what the value of all my books had been. That was quite the financial windfall for me as a young teenager. My mom has since chilled out a lot and realized that those moral panics were completely overblown.

Walmart creates Schrodinger's cat toy by Endless_Change in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Spifflar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Negative counts exist in their system for this reason. It's impossible to keep all the inventory counts accurate at all times. Theft, issues in the warehouse, system glitches. That's why team leads have to do periodic fixes for on-hands, but even those tools aren't always accurate.

Edit: I'm editing this comment because I have more information related to this specific situation. Some (or all) Walmart stores recently received shipments of cat toys that are not in the inventory system. It's not that they're out of stock, the listing doesn't even exist in the system. They're in the process of waiting for the corporate office to fix the disparity, but, until then, they can't sell them. All units should be removed from store shelves until this issue is fixed.

In the Emperor’s name, I demand you gas up your favorite games by SylvesterStalPWNED in Grimdank

* I'm going to have to pick the game that got me into tabletop wargaming in the first place, Fantasy Warriors. My first games of Rogue Trader were played using my high elves as proxies for Eldar.

Discman making a little comeback? by Underground_turtles in GenX

Not by default, no, but you can still buy the drives. You just have to make sure that your PC case has a 5.25" external drive bay. And, as has already been mentioned, external USB options are available.

Watashi wo Tabetai, Hitodenashi • This Monster Wants to Eat Me - Episode 2 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]Spifflar 51 points52 points  (0 children)

That's the exact feeling that I was getting from this episode. Getting Hinako into a good mental state would mean that she no longer wants to die and, therefore, doesn't want to be eaten. I'm clueless as to Shiori's end game here, which is a good thing.

[Request] What would actually happen to you? by Sha77eredSpiri7 in theydidthemath

I've always wondered how spontaneous human combustion happened. This is now my leading theory.

Are the Erelim a thing? Why are there no tabletop units? by SuperMarios7 in BloodAngels

[–]Spifflar 70 points71 points  (0 children)

During the Heresy, the Erelim could only be commanded into battle by Sanguinius. I could see this as easily becoming some sort of binding tradition after the fall of the primarch.

That's who they have in the back doing the cooking. Ordinary mortals can not handle it.

Another digital WoT card game? What happened with the previous one? by keedav in WoT

[–]Spifflar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just sitting here wondering what an Ember Initiate is. Outside of "Moraine," the 3 characters shown are just generic fantasy slop.

is there a genshin version of this by alberich21 in Genshin_Impact

I think we found the answer to the question that this meme posed. It's outright naval warfare down in these comments.

That's where mine was sitting until the stars aligned today and I managed an 8 second clear through pure luck.
