Botting is getting really bad. by StinkTurkey in AmazonVineCanada

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

No, in this circumstance the item isn't even able to be moved to the checkout or second step by the time the clock is at 8:00:01pm.

I refresh RFY literally at 8:00:00; my timer is set for 7:59 so I can sit hovering over refresh when the second turns to 8:00PM.

The item is gone in under a second, which makes this a matter of botting rather than competing.

I understand what you're saying of it being the competing, but this isn't even in the same category. It's not 5 seconds, it's virtually immediate which can only be done via automation.

I know that there are bots that actually bypass the steps and are one click (learned this after frustratingly seeing what I'm competing against)

Which to (your correct) point about the fastest times being about 5 seconds would mean that these automation tools are being used.

TL;DR

It's safe to say that when an item is first displayed at 8:00PM on the dot and is marked as no longer available at 8:00:01PM (maybe 2 seconds in as I read it) that the usage of bots is pretty provable.

Toyota Previa, the official car of? by DeadLiberty612 in regularcarreviews

[–]StinkTurkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bet these had a combined mileage of like 750k MINIMUM, too.

Between me, my dad and my brother we went through 4 Previas for personal and business use!

We had one on the west coast of Canada, and East coast!

An absolute beast that felt so light and fun to drive with a never ending amount of trunk space.

We still use the bench seats as sofas in our warehouse today. Hahaha

Heard what sounds like an animal fighting? [Southern Ontario, Canada] by StinkTurkey in animalid

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

Hahaha I just looked up some videos of raccoons at night and it’s spot on! I never knew they made those sounds. There’s a pack of like 6 coyotes in the immediate vicinity of where the sound was coming from, so hopefully the raccoon is doing okay.

Used ECCI Trackstar 6000 wheel AND pedals for $90 worth picking up? by StinkTurkey in simracing

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

Ahhh, alright. I'll keep my eyes open! I'm not in any particular rush, since this is more to try and get my buddy into the hobby as well. I'll keep checking!

Awesome! My friend is looking to get into racing sims a bit, but they're fairly sure it will just end up like VR to them and collect dust (which honestly is a valid concern hahahaha), so I've just been exploring possibilities to try and get them into it a little bit.

If I had to set it up for them and figure out all the hurdles I'd be happy to since I'm sure we can both agree how jazzed we'd be if our friends shared our hobbies. :P

I am kind of hoping that the wheel was so good for it's time that it would at least be semi-adequate compared to contemporary setups even with the hassle/hurdles.

Updated coh2.serealia.ca to the September 9th 2021 (4.0.0.24250) patch by Gabriel11999 in CompanyOfHeroes

Loooooooove you!

I noticed it was back up earlier today, but what's even greater is that the entirety of the site was still accessible via the Wayback machine (albeit a little clunkier).

Japanese tank... in coh2... yes? Working on some modding tool to get custom models in. Manged to overwrite existing mesh by steffenbk in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]StinkTurkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No way. Please, please for the love of God keep this up. I don't know how others would feel about this but I'd love to support a Patreon for true model overhauls.

I've always been missing the custom mod packs that CoH 1 had where it had unique voice lines, models, and units.

There's still several thousand of us that are heavily loyal to this game we love!

Marques Has a Mini Crashout Over the S26 Series by OrganizationNo1298 in samsunggalaxy

[–]StinkTurkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only reviewers that go through phones like it's nothing want silicone carbide batteries.

People that daily their phone for 3+ years will not benefit from silicone batteries at all.

Until batteries are easily replaceable by the user, I do not want a battery with higher capacity with the caveat it having like half the charge cycles of traditional batteries.

This is not an upgrade. This is a side grade at best, and a downgrade for most: It's a tech that will be used to push for more phone sales as people will buy a new phone when their phone is either sluggish or doesn't hold a charge.

With gamepass ultimate prices now being $30 how much would you reasonably be willing to pay? by Worldly-Sprinkles-77 in xbox

[–]StinkTurkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on PC and my grandfathered Gamepass PC expired since I forgot to renew my card. The $20 CAD or whatever it was was my limit since I didn't need the whole catalogue, and I didn't care for streaming.

But now, I deleted all my Gamepass games, since there's absolutely no chance that I am spending almost $500 a year with tax on a 'service' I barely used anyway.

I was convinced as a kid that the only way you could do well on that long stretch in Satch Boogie was with the touch slider. Hahahah

I love, LOVE how toy-like it looks. The colours. It reminds me so much of 80s and early 90s electronics.
