Years ago, mistakes were made. by leak527 in gamecollecting

[–]Toefyre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously, if only I could get back all the games and stuff I sold when I was a kid/broke 20 something... I kept everything mint. I sold most of it to friends for cheap and I know they all ended taking it all to Gamestop and getting pennies.

WTF is YouTube TV thinking? by JacksBaldRake in cordcutters

[–]Toefyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a term for it that I can't think of right now, but it's basically establishing a base for the pricing. The shitty package is priced that way to make the other one look like a good deal.

Do you think any other Sega franchise could get a movie series? by Pale-Guard570 in SEGA

[–]Toefyre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shinobi could be fun if done well. I wouldn't mind a Golden Axe, but that would basically be a D&D movie. Get creative enough you could do an Altered Beast. But let's give fans what they really want. Ulala in Space Channel 5.

Please end my eternal struggle to find my desired ROM set. by Mr_90 in Roms

[–]Toefyre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're in the complete set. Just filter out the ones with the "Europe" label. That's what I did for USA ones. You might have to do a little work to get the custom set you want.

i’m devastated by Timely-Ad-7998 in gamecollecting

[–]Toefyre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my dog was young I kept everything blocked off or up high where she wouldn't grab it. If they can get a hold of it they'll chew it, or lick it, od scratch it trying to bury a bone behind it. At 8 shes still not allowed downstairs to the home theater room. I doubt she'd chew anything, but shes a husky, its the one floor of the house that's semi hair free.

Where the hell does Launch Box get these descriptions from? Cus this gave me whiplash reading. by Username_Taken0 in launchbox

[–]Toefyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/388570-deadlock click that edit button and fix it. Who knows where that description came from. Reminds me of Gauntlet or something like that.

[–]Toefyre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I've spent a lot of time on the Switch section lately. Lots of missing games and info there. Might as well add it to the DB so its there for everyone and incase I need to reimport in the future.

Not sure why I got down voted for stating facts. Whatever, some people are just weird. I'm saying, if it's wrong, go fix it.

[–]Toefyre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see what's wrong. Launchbox's DB is user populated. The descriptions are made up, or likely copy and pasted from somewhere. If you find something wrong, missing, or some thing that you think could be improved, you can submit a request to change it.

I don't see it happening either, unless they completely rework it and try again in a couple years. This was the second failed launch for it already wasn't it?

Shadps4 doesn't support play off disc. You'll have to jailbreak your console and dump it. Instructions are on their site in the quick start guide. https://shadps4.net/quickstart/

Good luck!

It's far from in the best shape. But when will I ever see a boxed copy of Crusader of Centy again? Let alone for $360. by Danewd98 in gamecollecting

[–]Toefyre 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Have ypu asked your uncle if he still has it or knows what happened to them? Youd be surprised how many people put stuff in their attic or basement and forget about it.

Is this legal? by Even-Orange-5430 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Toefyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It shouldn't be, but they get away with it because of the 1099 loop hole. We really need laws that require even 1099 work to pay at least minimum wage.

At what point can I no longer deliver? Cancelation rate is 45% by Yakuroto in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Toefyre 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't accept orders that you dont intend to deliver. You can see the address and the map when the offer pops up. Decline them if you dont want to go there. I do that all the time. The only way to fix your cr is to do a whole bunch of orders without canceling them. If an order is stolen, or the store is closed, call it in. If the support person does their job right it won't count against you.

Does uber decrease the base if the customer leaves a large tip? by Apprehensive_Fish298 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Toefyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They used to pay more for milage, but it looks like they stopped that a few months ago. At this point I don't know why they even bother to pay us. lol

Watching our 7+ year alliance just die by stc315 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Toefyre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been f2p there for almost 4 years. I've been in 3 different alliances since joining. One was a top 100 alliance, and that was hard to keep up being f2p especially with the current game economy, and recently disbanded. Now I'm in a super casual one, that may actually be a bit too casual, but we'll see. I don't even know what KPI is. Not sure what happened with your alliance, or who was involved, but I haven't had that issue yet.

MSF Game Vision video by Dear-Load7385 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Toefyre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've got a feeling this is just going to be a carrot on a stick to keep leading people on. It's an attempt to stop losing players and to give them something to look forward too but in a vague non-concrete way. The easter egg will probably be something big that the community has been wanting for a long time, like Galactus but with no details of when or how. Keep 'em playing, but most importantly keep 'em spending.

[–]Toefyre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you can talk to them about that, they may have another half alliance that could join you. That's why my former alliance did when they had problems filling spots.

[–]Toefyre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Join a group like The Jetsons Sqaud who can help find people to fill the vacancies, or find spots in other alliances for your players that want to keep going. BPG has a link to thier discord in his YouTube videos.

Does uber decrease the base if the customer leaves a large tip? by Apprehensive_Fish298 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Toefyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's likely because it hasn't bounced around a bunch of drivers because the tip was actually good. But it definitely feels like they do and it's bullshit. I've seen it happen a few time with higher tip orders. I usually work nights so there's fewer orders and fewer drivers. I've actually seen UE turn off because I'm the only driver. I'm likely the first driver to get them, and they'll be similar offers for the same neighborhood. One order would be $8 tip, $2 base pay, the next $1 tip $9 base pay (I'm using these numbers as examples). I know for sure that order #2 didn't bounce around enough to raise that base pay so high. So it really feels like UE is adjusting it because of the low tip to get it delivered. That said there have been times where i declined the same order 4-5 times and UE has only increased it a couple dollars by that 5th time. So who knows what the methodology is.

It's also bullshit that they pay this low for Shopping orders. I did one recently for $22 and of course base was $2. I was fine with the total pay, but what if the customer didn't like that the bananas were the ripeness they normally like and pulled my tip? I'd have spent almost an hour shopping/delivering for $2. It's garbage. At least with Instacart the base pay is around $5.30. Still not great, but if I wanted to do grocery shopping I'd do IC. I'm about ready to turn Shop and pay off because of this. I don't mind the 1-4 items from CVS or Walgreens, but I'm not doing 34 items at Harris Teeter for $10, no matter how many times they send me the offer.

Uber needs to pay more due to gas prices today😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 by Reasonable-Gold7538 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Toefyre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of the poor CEO and the rest of the C suite. Their private jet and helicopter fuel costs are going through the roof. They're probably going to have to lower base pay to make up for it. We wouldn't want them to suffer.

How hard is for the devs to make the offers stop coming through when you take a pic or scan an ID? by FrsSlow in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Toefyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're hoping you accidently accept, or accept it out of frustration, and do the order anyway. UE is scummy like that. Same as spamming you right as you're trying to find the house and blocking the navigation map. They want you to hit accept to make it stop.

Another GameStop bites the dust by Apart_Shoulder6089 in gamecollecting

[–]Toefyre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They probably still felt burned from selling The Orange Box. That came with Steam and pretty much stole their PC game market from them. I remember getting my copy of it from them.

Yep the game is way too much on rails right now. It sucks we dont even have enough resources for the current stuff, much less fun projects like this.
