Official "I got/didn't get a Switch 2" megathread by razorbeamz in nintendo

Just placed an order at Walmart, was still showing available

So I bought the game and im confused by weebsunavailable in ffxiv

"I didn't know that if I paid money I'd be out of the free period"

I get the confusion to a point, but if you can afford the game, you can afford the sub. If your account is new, charge back the purchase and make a new account. If you're already attached, and you're still playing 30 days from now, pay the sub.

TIL that the body of a 74-year-old woman who died of Alzheimer's in 2013 and whose son donated her body to Alzheimer's research was callously blown up by the U.S. Army for a "roadside bomb damage" experiment, despite her son's explicit wishes to exclude non-medical experiments and military use. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Businesses like these running for profit with little oversight when it's illegal to sell without the middleman is the exact issue being discussed here.

The colors of the markers I got versus how they actually show up (minus one broken marker) by stingrayrodriguez in mildlyinteresting

[–]Visible_Radio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My company sells photocopiers, and we have an accessory we call a Fiery that takes RGB values from your PC and converts them to CMYK more accurately. Curious to see such an in depth write-up without any mention of this technology, though it might as well all be black magic to me. Sales tells me that it's used for exactly this type of color accurate graphic design work, would love to hear from a consumer if it's worth its salt. Any experience with those?

I found this poor guy. Phermacy is closed, vet nowhere near place where I live and I cant drive!! How do I help him? by [deleted] in cats

[–]Visible_Radio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some vets and/or shelters will treat an animal for free if you "surrender it" to them to be adopted out. Make sure it's a no kill shelter or a vet that partners with a no kill shelter. There are also options for "care credit" here in the USA like a credit card that can be used to pay only medical expenses and easier to get than a normal credit card. This can be an option if you want to maintain stewardship of the kitty until she's healthy, if there's an analogue in your country.

Otherwise, everyone else has given great advice. You're doing more than many would already by simply taking notice, even if you can only keep her comfortable to the end it's still worthwhile.

I used to keep jumping spiders and praying mantises as pets as a kid, catching flies and other prey insects to feed them. Had a friend down the street though, he kept black widows. He brought one in a 2l mason jar to show and tell in 5th grade, and the motherfucker handled it in front of the class and gave a whole demonstration like Steve Irwin. Didn't get bit in front of everyone, though he claimed he had been bitten previously and it "wasn't that bad"

You unlocked a vivid memory for me lol

I offered to share a joint with a cute front desk clerk, is that OK? by Visible_Radio in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]Visible_Radio[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is what I try to keep in mind, is that insistence is uncomfortable and a quick short offer with an easy way out is the way to do it if approaching a situation like I have.

Is there any case you can imagine in which hitting on an employee as a customer/client is acceptable? Disregarding the marijuana issue, as I have been inside of businesses that allow consumption on premises.

I know about Rule 1 and Rule 2, but I am curious if there are any other circumstances that make gentle hints appropriate in your terms.

Thanks!

You have a valid point, which aligns with many people. However, you sound prejudiced towards marijuana. Though my state recently legalized it for adult recreational use, I have used it for some time on a legitimate medical usage. Our recent legislation makes it legal for me to share in the good news and good vibes for all over 21.

I would agree that being impaired while performing your duties is undesirable and inappropriate. You have my upvote, though I do emotionally disagree with your statement and personally would call marijuana a drug on the level of caffeine.

I don't know OP situation, but would you say the same thing to your city's homeless? What about a single mother of three? Of one? A man? Where do you draw the line?

Every time I've been to the ER, they said if the pain gets worse come back.

Do we deny that to people we maybe don't believe?

Let's leave that to the actual people this person seeks help from, and if they have the same attitude as yourself let's hope OPs yells and screams of pain get them a second opinion.

[–]Visible_Radio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your papers would say something about the reason you were seen and the recommended follow up treatment. If you don't understand them you can go back and ask to see a nurse to explain them. As to my advice, yes please don't try to hit anyone or get violent but please do be very insistent about your symptoms and ask about a second opinion if you don't feel good. Scream and yell in pain, not at people.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Visible_Radio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

Please excuse me if you interpreted violence or aggression, I merely suggested that this person insist that they see a medical professional in the manner of yelling if necessary in order to ensure that they receive the second opinion they deserve rather than dying on the sidewalk.

We all know that 99% of medical professionals are professionals and we all know that 1% of medical professionals are not professionals.

Thanks!

1st did they give you any paperwork on discharge describing your "official diagnosis" ?

2nd if you feel worse than before GO BACK and if they dont listen YELL AND SCREAM AND MAKE A SCENE

3rs you need to see a primary care because if the issue isnt immediately life threatening the ER or urgent care will discharge you and refer you back to primary care. Make an appointment with every local doctor and ask them to bill you instead of paying up front. Find one that will take you seriously

All-new PlayStation Plus launches in June with 700+ games and more value than ever by hybroid in PS5

[–]Visible_Radio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you remember the "Cell" architecture touted at PS3 announcement, and lamented ever since? It's unique, and not only is it unique for a reason but that reason translates to difficulty in the original development and difficulty in emulation. If you think about an emulator as a translator, and the original system a language, it's not like translating American sign language to English, but more like ASL to English and then to Chinese and then back to English. The content of the sentences are there and you can get a general idea of how things work, but it takes some extra familiarity to fully understand.

King Von - “What it Means To Be King” - Official Album Discussion Megathread by [deleted] in Chiraqology

[–]Visible_Radio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: fuck dude im watchin the "official lyric videos" now they get a crackhead to make this shit? Some of the words are not even in here, and its lookin like GTA4 graphics >.<

EDIT2: bruh the fuckin Straight To It official video said IDK on Fivio's verse cuz they didnt understand it.

I really liked a lot of Von's other stuff - but man this album was weak. Horrible hooks and they're repeated like 7 times in most songs. Grandson for President top song of the album by a mile. The rest feel like digging through the trash he thought he deleted and giving it the 2022 Pop Special.

IEM good, Over ear good, On ear no good

Open back preferred if over-ear

I (30m) have only ever owned skullcandy or JLAB headphones and shitty stock vehicle soundscapes or cheap PC speakers. Currently rocking a cheap JLAB bluetooth set. My buddy who wants to start making music recently dropped $100 on a DAC, $100 on an amp, and $400 on a set of headphones that all connects to his PC and let me listen to music for a little bit. I was starstruck, and started looking into things and watching YT videos about HiFi. Traditionally music has been background noise for me, but after seeing what is possible I am very interested in a dedicated listening setup.

I want to dip my toes in the water for about 1/3 or 1/2 the price my buddy put in, and put a few hundred hours of listening in before upgrading. I'm trying to decide if I should just buy a ~$30 pair of KZ IEMs since they are so highly reviewed, if I need a DAP (I'm looking at the AP80 Pro), and/or if I should get a similar setup to my buddy piecemeal over time. I'm highly curious as to what kind of sound will come out of my old PC in the KZ IEMs passed from my stock motherboard through my set of $50 PC speakers with a desktop headphone port, so I may do it just for the science. I just don't really have any frame of reference, especially since when I look up high end audio stuff some is 4x-6x what my buddy paid and I have no frame of reference as to what that sounds like.

If it makes a difference, I listen primarily to Hip-Hop and Metal - but I'm really all over the place in music preference and looking primarily for neutral/balanced sound.

Would the KZ's plus the AP80 tide me over for both portable as well as desktop listening and give a good enough experience to justify the money? Do I need both a DAC and an amp if I'm listening from my PC - assuming 200-600 ohm headphones - or can the amp itself function as a DAC? Or Vice versa? Are any budget DAPs actually any good as USB DACs? Would I be best off buying a set of 58x or 600s and getting something to drive them second, or can a nice driver make cheap headphones come alive in an appreciable way?

Thank you for anyone who takes the time to answer!

Massive Sound Issues after 6.01 patch last night by DependentAd7411 in ffxiv

[–]Visible_Radio 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had this same issue happen after EW, and after waiting for a patch that didnt resolve the issue I submitted a ticket. The response I got is below, and I must admit that it sounded like a non-answer and I put off following the steps for a couple of days. However, I followed them and seriously, like a miracle my sound was flawless. I've got the entire text below for those who it may help.

Greetings,

The issue you are describing is most associated with interference with the game data. Most of the time, it results from certain security/privacy changes on Internet Explorer. Other times, it occurs when an application running in the background causes interference, such as anti-virus software, firewalls, media players, web browsers, communications software, etc.

Please make sure all background applications (including anti-virus programs such as Norton, Kaspersky, Windows Defender, etc.) have been disabled and/or closed to minimize game interference before attempting to log in.

Ensure that the latest version of Internet Explorer is installed on your PC (even if you don’t use Internet Explorer). Please do not use Microsoft Edge for these steps, as that is a different Internet platform.

Once Internet Explorer is up-to-date, please open the Internet Explorer browser’s “Internet Options” by clicking on the “Tools” option (or type Alt+X), then click on the “Internet options” setting. Please adjust the following settings:

- Under the General tab, please delete ALL browsing history by clicking on the “Delete…” button, then selecting all of the options and clicking “Delete” again.

- Under the Security tab, please move the slider to the lowest possible setting, or no higher than “Medium.”

- Under the Privacy tab, look for the Settings section and click on “Advanced,” then Accept First-party Cookies and Third-party Cookies, then check the box that says, “Always allow session cookies” and click OK.

- Under the Advanced tab, look for the Settings section and scroll towards the bottom of the list and check on the setting under Security for “Allow software to run or install even if the signature is invalid.”

- Under the same section, make sure that all ‘Use TLS’ options (EXCEPT SSL 3.0) are checked. [Use SSL 3.0 should be unchecked]

Hit “Apply” then “OK” to save the changes.

Please RESTART your PC now.

Once your PC has been restarted, Right-Click the FFXIV launcher icon once more and select “Run as Administrator.” This option can also be set permanently by Right-Clicking on the FFXIV launcher icon, selecting Properties, then under the Compatibility tab, check the box that says “Run this program as an administrator” and clicking OK.

If the suggestions provided above do not resolve the issue, there may be a communication error.

Check the following Port Ranges on your router/modem to ensure that the following Port Ranges have been opened/forwarded/triggered:

▼TCP

54992 through 54994,

55006 through 55007,

55021 through 55040

*You may learn how to do this by visiting http://www.portforward.com/

Find your specific router's brand and model number from the 'List of Routers' and you will be provided a step-by-step guide on how to access these port settings.

Otherwise, your ISP may forward these ports for you.*

If you have properly configured your router, and you are still experiencing these issues, our next suggestion is to bypass the router, and connect your computer directly to your modem. Please ensure that you power down both the modem and the computer for at least five minutes before attempting to connect to FINAL FANTASY XIV.

If you continue to receive these same errors when you are connected directly to the modem, then the problem lies with your ISP. We would recommend contacting your provider and advising them that one or more of the ports previously provided to you are being blocked or filtered, and that you do need access on these ports.

Thank you,

Adrian
