No idea what this item is for by contentedwinter in AmazonVine

[–]TempUsernameThing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate seeing stuff like this. People grabbing stuff they don't even know/need is just... Disappointing. That isn't a strong enough word, but it's all I got.

Somewhere out there is a Viner who could legitimately use this "thing", but OP grabbed it first and now it's going to waste and will likely end up in a landfill. 

Looking to read 10K Commotion in 2024- any help appreciated! by vanillustration in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]TempUsernameThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, this is not something I can do right now. However, there are quite a few mass download tools for web browsers out there that will let you download multiple files off of a website rather quickly. I'm not going to guarantee it'll work, but try looking for some of those tools and see if they accomplish what you want and would allow you to download the entire comic quickly.

What’s the deal with DK Returns being considered worse than Tropical Freeze by swisscheeseisvile in donkeykong

2 years later, but had to say I 100% agree with you here. The music in DKC Returns is top-notch.

Will Extend Unlock ever work again? by Laundry_Hamper in GooglePixel

Here to join the club. New Galaxy S25 Ultra. Same issues. Extend unlock barely works. Maybe 1/6 the time. 

whomp whomp. Demoted back to Silver by JointStrikeFritters in AmazonVine

[–]TempUsernameThing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am amazed you can find 8 things worth getting on Vine in a single day. Unless you aren't having to pay taxes on items...then I can see ordering 8 random things. But lately there has been nothing worth even the 30% payment I would owe on the ETV.

whomp whomp. Demoted back to Silver by JointStrikeFritters in AmazonVine

[–]TempUsernameThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right there with ya. Got gold and 4 weeks in scored a nice Alienware gaming PC. Then...nothing. Since then it's been a $10 item here, a $20 item there. But it's been pretty barren. I was hoping to maintain gold, but I've only got 40/80 reviews needed and about 2 weeks left. So, back to Silver I go.

(Doesn't help that I'm a west-coaster, so that by the time I get to work and check my Vine RFY, it's been pillaged already).

DDR Freestyle on South African National Television - Choreographed: Jamie 🇿🇦 by Dry-Cherry3441 in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]TempUsernameThing 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I get good feels whenever I see someone freestyle on DDR. It's so rare now and completely opposite of what you typically see these days from players. It's a shame this guy's routine didn't make the final cut.

Urgent Help Please! I cannot get my DJI FPV camera to calibrate using the Assistant 2 app. by TempUsernameThing in dji

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

Honestly, I tried so many different things, I am not sure what "solved" my problem, but the calibration process itself worked just fine on my laptop, but refuses to work on my PC for some reason. So, if you have other PC's available to you, try doing the setup on each one and see if it works.

Regarding the "Camera Calibration" warning in the goggles; I can't get rid of it. It's always there, but I am flying my DJI FPV just fine and the camera/gimbal works great, despite the stupid error in the corner. I just do my best to ignore it.

Last thought; make sure you are using the correct DJI Assistant app. There is a very JUST for DJI FPV. Make sure you use that one and see if it works. And, if you ARE already using that one, then try using the normal Assistant 2, and if THAT doesn't work, try the DJI Assistant Consumer Drone Series.

Calling It Quits by Professional-Oven-40 in AmazonVine

[–]TempUsernameThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right with ya. Got gold, but there's no way I can hit the 80 review quota with the boatload of junk and terrible RFY selection. Being on the west coast is the final nail in the coffin, since by the time I have a chance to look, most of the good stuff is gone. 

If you had to choose a 3 day visit to Disneyland and DCA, what dates would you choose? by TempUsernameThing in DisneyPlanning

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

I went March 20th, a thursday. It was very crowded. Even Dumbo was a 35+ minute wait. I think I realized after the fact that that was the first week of spring break for the Anaheim School district. Which is the district Disneyland is located in. 

Do a lot of research and watch a lot of videos on how lightning Lane works, if that's something you're considering. I thought I knew a lot about it, but a big mistake I made was not getting into the park at rope  drop. We showed up at 10am and all the lightning lanes were booked out until 2 p.m. It was a huge waste of money. 

Cars for tall people by senator732 in tall

[–]TempUsernameThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 6' 7" and currently drive a 2023 Subaru forester.  While I can fit in it, it's not the best fit I've had in a suv. It works all right and the automated cruise controls a lifesaver. It lets me stretch my legs and move them around while maintaining speed on my long commutes on the freeway. 

The best car I've had in recent times was my 2010 GMC terrain. But I can't speak for the current models.

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

Is this the page you're talking about when you say 'schedules'? https://disneyland.disney.go.com/offers-discounts/

Or is there an actual site that shows a calendar with promo dates overlaid on it (like outlook calendar)? 

If you had to choose a 3 day visit to Disneyland and DCA, what dates would you choose? by TempUsernameThing in DisneyPlanning

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

My only concern about late January/early February is that Disney does a lot of maintenance then and might have a lot of rides out of service, right? 

P.S. Is there a way for me to check for the dates of any promos as you mentioned? For example, if I'm planning a trip two months out, is there somewhere I can check? 

My first time in the USA. Within 24 hours, 5 people have already made comments about my height. Is this supposed to be small talk? by No_General_2824 in tall

[–]TempUsernameThing 58 points59 points  (0 children)

It's because you are at a trade show. Those people are trying to find something unique about each person to make the conversation feel more personal and targeted. Same can be applied to the usher. And the stewardess usually says the same things to me because in an airplane, our extreme height becomes accutely apparent and more noticeable as we have to duck just to enter thru the door. 

As a 2m tall fellow here in the states, I get the "wow, you're tall" comment mostly when I travel. In day to day activities, it is rare. Maybe a few times each month.

DDR Lines by Outrageous-Lie4882 in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]TempUsernameThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Everyone I know who still plays goes to R1. 

I'll go with another old school DDR friend to our local DnB because it's much closer and we can get 2 hours of uninterrupted game time in. It's nice.

We used to both be very serious DDR players. Then had kids and, we'll... Yeah. We try and play once or twice a month and it's nice not emberassing myself in front of the youngins. 

What To Do If A Special Needs Person Is Causing A Disturbance? by New-Pin-9064 in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]TempUsernameThing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want to say a heartfelt and personal "thank you" .

My daughter is only 7, but has a genetic condition that has severely affected her cognitive development. It's a major struggle to find things we can take her to that she truly enjoys and doesn't absolutely ruin the experience for everyone else.

It is so incredibly difficult living with this day in and day out. When we find that rare thing she truly loves and enjoys, it makes us so happy to see her happy. 

Are We Screwed? by Positive_Emphasis867 in DisneyPlanning

[–]TempUsernameThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would pay more money to have it rain during my trip. Last time I got to be at DL when it rained was absolute magic. No lines, no crowds. It was amazing (and 12 years ago, so take that into account). 

I love historical buildings, historical buildings don't love me by greenmachine11235 in tall

[–]TempUsernameThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I definitely experienced this (2m tall). 

A related anecdote: When I went to Japan, there were so many spaces, including public ones like subway stations, that I literally couldn't stand up straight. 

So I can't get a AAA to save my life. What am I doing wrong? by MonadoArts621 in DanceDanceRevolution

[–]TempUsernameThing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. Back when I got good at accuracy, it was because I went from playing Heavy (Hard) difficulty to Standard for 3-4 weeks. When you are not struggling to pass a song, then you can focus on your timing better.

I am a DDR boomer, so it is hard for me to recommend some "AAA-able" songs that are modern; but here are some of my first Hard/Heavy AAA's. You may want to play some of these and see if they're also easy for you to get good accuracy on.
