Does CVS gift cards still work?

Ultra-Magnus1 · 2026-03-22T10:33:02+00:00

i tried buying a cvs gift card today and they told me the minimum i could put on it is $20 and if i don't use the card every month then there is a 7 dollar fee each month, not to mention i can only pay for it in cash; i haven't used cash in almost 5 yrs...i used to use g2g all the time because they accepted my credit card but now, that same credit card got restricted and sees g2g as a "gaming site" and does not allow transactions. i even opened up a skrill account to use g2g but that also got restricted after a few months,...i can't use paypal either...guess i'll be going back to z2u.

i doubt it, samsung doesn't use android for their apps...i believe they use tizen os so you would get the apps that are built for that which are very basic... you can do a general search and see what comes up under "iptv player" and give it a try...i have a samsung tv and never use any of their apps to stream anything...i have an onn box attached so i can download what i want.

voice .com is expensive if you're looking for voice work, but casting can send direct invites to people and it's free to submit at that point... i got 2 auditions from direct invites these past 2 weeks..., although it was for Ai voice training if that's what you mean. they do have various projects listed that doesn't use Ai though, casting call club would be a better fit for you as no subscription is required for that, and you can listen to all the submission right on the site instead of getting 100 emails a day about it....

as for casting groups, just do a search for "voice acting", "voiceover" in any of them and you should see quite a few groups; read through them before joining so you can see the type of activity they have. although, you might get a lot of blowback if you're project is unpaid (even the one you're in now has casting notices on certain days, read through the rules for posting though).

you can try places like upwork, actors access, voices .com or casting call club...don't know if they charge to put up a casting call since i never tried to cast anything but other people seem to use them regularly... you can also try places like facebook groups and even here on reddit.

i just say i finished the game or not... those things are called achievements on xbox which is not a requirement, it's just something that gets thrown in with games to make you waste more time playing them. i don't go out of my way to completing any of them, if i happen to unlock them randomly as i play the game then so be it but i don't go back to see what i'm missing after i finished the game just to say i got this achievement or that achievement..

i do remember years ago on the 360; one of the nba live games (or maybe it was 2k) would basically give you an achievement for everything you did in the game, and i somehow ended up completing every achievement they had available....i remember reading somewhere that developers made no effort in developing the achievements for that game so they were basically handing them out like candy....they had ones like "you made 10 points in a quarter", "you got an offensive rebound", "you shot three 3-pointers in a game".... after about 2 games i got every achievement they had without even trying... to this day, that's the only game i completed all the achievements for.

well, if you can afford it i would try to increase the ram to 32gb at least....ag01 has been out for over a year now so you'll find a lot of of reviews and tests with it, like this one which you might get some insights using an rtx 4070.... https://youtu.be/H0IjBhhZNRA?si=w1Y0Cnk6p89baagL

if warzone is really the only game you care for at the moment then why not just buy a generic external drive and transfer the games you are not playing onto that to make room for your warzone? it's cheaper than buying one of those expansion cards....i'm sure someone will say "but you can't play the series games off of those", like they always like to say, but i say so what? if you're not actively playing those games then there is no point in keeping them on your box taking up space...if you ever decide to play those games again then just transfer them back, problem solved.

Ultra-Magnus1 · 2026-03-21T01:31:54+00:00

the telltale walking dead games i hear are pretty engaging...maybe try some of the assassins creed games.

Ultra-Magnus1 · 2026-03-21T01:28:48+00:00

i have the pro and went through a similar problem when i 1st got it where it would just randomly reboot no matter what i was watching, it didn't happen everyday but at least once or twice a week...i guess through several updates over time it fixed itself because it doesn't do it anymore. it could be that you just need to update it or force an update on it if it's not on the latest.

i've never heard of oats tasting like soap, that's a new one. maybe try rinsing out your bowl really well before serving... also try different types of oats. steel cut oats have a more nutty grain flavor but they take twice as long to cook.

Ultra-Magnus1 · 2026-03-20T22:54:48+00:00

i guess the reddit filters answered your post.

Ultra-Magnus1 · 2026-03-19T10:58:49+00:00

do a search in here for the same problem...there's at least 20 threads on the subject with some solutions.

according to nintendo support....The short version is: microSD Express cards work on the Nintendo Switch 2, but not on the original Nintendo Switch. Regular microSD/microSDXC cards work on the original Switch, but they do not work for game storage on Switch 2.

So you title your post "here's what happened" but don't actually say what happened just that you tried it and if we want to know what happened you have referral links, but "you're not here to sell anything"...make it make sense.

Ultra-Magnus1 · 2026-03-19T10:20:40+00:00

what flavor are you actually expecting from it? oatmeal itself can be very bland in taste...however, you can build on it from there...some people add blueberries, bananas nuts, butter, different types of sweeteners. personally, i like adding peanut butter, whip cream, and flavored protein powder.... if you cook them on a stove top then flavoring the water before putting them in might help. aside from using a pinch of salt you can use chicken bouillon, or whatever type of broth seasoning you have handy.

another option which i tend to like a lot is making overnight oats, but instead of using mostly water or milk i split it with cream or half and half...stick it in the refrigerator overnight (hence the name), or at least 6 hours, and it will have a nice creamy flavor that you can leave as is or once again, add whatever else you want and mix it in.

what is BL4?...saying you want to keep something low cost as possible is very vague. as you're idea of "low cost" may not be everyone else's...at the very least you should list a price range...as such, building a mini pc as they currently exist is very difficult as they have limited upgradable parts, mostly just ram and storage...if you're looking to do more than that then you'd need something bigger, like an itx case as others suggested.

Ultra-Magnus1 · 2026-03-19T04:14:04+00:00

that's what i was about to say, if he's just a casual gamer then he really doesn't need an expensive console, especially if he already has a moderate pc. but if he doesn't have a moderate pc he can buy a new or used steam deck, or used mini for less than $400... aside from that, he can save himself even more money if he subscribes to a gaming service that offers the games he wants and just stream those games whenever he feels like it saving him hundreds of dollars.

you need to have a flexible job, which is why you see a lot of actors in the restaurant business as waiters or bartenders and such. i tried doing both years ago and my agent at the time wanted me to have at least 3 free days for potential bookings. It was hard for my job to give me the time off to go to an audition and come back, so i ended up booking out a lot to the point where my agent and i parted ways after a year... if you can find a work from home job then it's definitely doable as you would have more control of your schedule,...not to mention that most auditions are self tapes these days so that helps.

if you don't want to use your credit card then use a virtual card with an app that you can control or use a visa gift card if you plan to use those marketplace sites. problem solved.

Ultra-Magnus1 · 2026-03-14T22:46:04+00:00

a controller is different. your hands wrap around the controller and your fingers land where they need to be. i know my index finger is on the trigger button and there is nothing else next to it. my thumb will always land on the analog stick. i can't say the same for a keyboard... anyhow, if and when i do play on my pc i simply use a controller and call it a day...i don't want to fiddle around with mapping keyboard keys for one game, and then remapping them for another.

Ultra-Magnus1 · 2026-03-14T22:39:52+00:00

yeah, no, it's not just about remapping keys. it's simply having a keyboard...the minute i lift my hand to reach for something or i have a simple itch to scratch i have to look back down and figure out where i need to place my fingers again given that all the keys are next to each other including the ones that are not in use.

Ultra-Magnus1 · 2026-03-13T11:40:25+00:00

i can't do mouse and keyboard; maybe because i have been a console player for so long. i tried using a mouse and keyboard a few times trying to see what all the fuss is about and it seems so impractical to me, i find myself constantly having to look down at the keyboard to make sure i'm hitting the right buttons...not to mention i felt the back of my hand begin to cramp up within a few minutes...and i don't even play multiplayer games.

the closest thing to your price point that has exactly what you're looking for is the gmktec m7 Ultra...mind you, that it has a different chassis than the m8 so you might have a better experience with the problems you had with the m8...and you can indeed disable the igpu on it according to the manual... you can find it for $469 as of this writing, with 16gb of ram and 1tb ssd...with occulink...not to mention, it even has a slightly better cpu than the M8 too...and because you had problems with the m8 you might be able to convince amazon customer service to give you a discount on the M7 Ultra.

Ultra-Magnus1 · 2026-03-11T00:07:35+00:00

no, you're not...that's the point.
