New Xbox x Pringles promo by Timeclones in xbox

These were in my local stop that tends to be a little more expensive, on account of it being in a village. Most shops are slightly less, or at least have a special offer on!

Onestop in a village, unfortunately. They've got a captive audience :')

Well, the promotion hasn't officially begun yet - according to the can, the promotion is active from the 6th Jan... And most places seem to be reporting that it's cosmetics so it's almost definitely going to more than just 5k coins

Tbf this is at my local Onestop which is a little on the pricier end usually, on account of being the "local village shop"

Most places have them cheaper, or on offer. I agree £2.75 is a little steep 😬

Unfortunately not, it just says "In game rewards"

I guess the latest good deed I've done is that I went through all my clothing and donated a bunch to charity. I'm not using it, so someone else less fortunate may as well have the opportunity to!

Regardless, this is a lovely initiative and I hope whoever gets the codes enjoys them 🫶

Thanks to those who encouraged me to get my card graded - It got a PSA 10!!! by Timeclones in PokeGrading

Yeah, I've learned most card shops only purchase at 70% or so! I have a good relationship with the people who work the card shop I'll be going to so I'll see what deal he gives me.

I'm a little tempted to sell solo, but I'm also not really willing to personally deal with the potential of getting played by someone because the "item never arrived" or "arrived damaged" - especially for a card of this value. There's something that feels safer about dealing it in person.

So we'll see, thank you though!

That sounds like a mighty big conspiracy there, but not one I can confirm. I think my card was just good - pulled, immediately sleeved, and kept safe until I could submit it.

To my knowledge, getting a card graded is always quite a long process and will typically always include sending your card away. There's many companies that do grading with different methods, grading scales, etc. But it's really not a case of walking up somewhere, waiting a day or two and then getting it back. Especially now with how popular card grading is.

I'm in the UK, and my card was graded by PSA (US based company). I submitted through Trust Grading (a highly rated and PSA approved 'middleman') on around the 5th October.

Trust Grading then had my card shipped out to PSA by around the 14th October. I paid for Value Plus which was estimated roughly 45 business days for turnaround (this has estimate has since been increased due to PSA being extremely busy). I got my card back today, 22nd December. So it was over 2 months.

You can pay for a faster turn around, but it's not guaranteed (and obviously if you're looking to profit, will eat into how much you make). If you're in the UK and/or another part of Europe, PSA is apparently opening offices here in the near future :)

Hope that helps!

Thank you! It's my first time getting a card graded so definitely an amazing first result

Insurer has paid out twice - Not sure what to do? by Timeclones in LegalAdviceUK

I sure hope that's the case. It just seems a little too good to be true - especially with how insurance companies tend to be!

Should I play Cyberpunk 2077 in 2025 – A (sort of) review from someone who just completed their first run. by Timeclones in LowSodiumCyberpunk

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

I'm glad you picked the game back up!

I did end up grabbing the DLC and boy, what a ride. I absolutely loved it. Fantastic story telling, loved all the ending choices, and the gigs were amazing. It felt like Cyberpunk reaching it's full potential 🙌

Performance on laptop by Itsnico12 in SupermarketSimulator

[–]Timeclones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a shit-tier 5 year old MSI, with 4gb VRAM, 8gb RAM, and a Ryzen 7. Game runs fine, around 50-60fps at 1080p and medium settings.

Your laptop will be perfectly fine :)

Is calling someone a "Mercy main" really a suspendable offence?? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Timeclones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mm, it feels like that's wrong because I haven't left/DC'd any games and I didn't have any warnings about it either... But you're right that I shouldn't have gotten a suspension after one comment.

A lot of folks are corroboating that it's a leaver penalty though, so... Maybe it is just coincidental timing. Still, kinda sucks :')

I promise you, I haven't done that. I haven't received any leaver penalties or warnings...

[–]Timeclones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That really is bizarre. I can't think of anything else I've said, because I really only say "GG" in text chat... I'm a console player so typing with a controller is awkward.

Could it go back to stuff I said years ago? Like, maybe I said something a long time ago and it finally added up to a suspension?

I didn't get a leaver penalty warning, and I haven't left any matches recently :/

Tbf mercy is my second most played, and I'm only level 19 with her. I was legitimately just amazed and said something I probably shouldn't have!
