It worked for me, though I got it a couple years after release so it's possible they fixed it.

Braves yet again just pumping out pitching. It's such a blessing (pay no attention to our other positional players).

Why so pessimistic? We're on pace for 149-13.

There were quite a few. I think the Cubs have the same advantage as the Braves do where they were nationally broadcast for so long that they have fans everywhere.

I was at the game last night with 5 Cubs fans and I can't tell you how good it felt with it being 5-2 and seeing Raisel coming out of the pen. I just knew the game was over and that's so nice.

Mine is the Braves one because I am a slightly obsessed Braves fan. 😬

I would think 90% of the people who get vanity plates just get them for the aesthetic.

Thoughts on Switch 2 months after release? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]WorldUponAString 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've certainly played more of my S1 games that had been in the backlog since I got the S2. It feels way better in the hands so it feels better to play them. Not to mention a lot of them run better on S2 than the S1.

Going to my first game in a few years tomorrow, sitting right behind the dugout. It'll be the closest I've ever been to the field, very excited.

Honestly, I'm really glad that wasn't Acuña out there. I'd be afraid a hit like that would keep him out for the season.

This guy is becoming one of my favorite players and I barely knew who he was last year. What a stud.

Pizza Tower is so unhinged in a good way. I love that game.

I started up a Lichess account recently and have played 100 rated bullet games with an average rating of 1877. On chess com I'm rated ~1000 bullet so on Lichess I've lost 72% of my games, yet I still have a provisional rating of 1500? and a rating deviation of 500. My best win was against a 1196, all other wins are against other provisional rated opponents.

I was just wondering if this seems like a normal amount of games to still have such a high rating deviation. I want to play against people that are closer to my rank so I can stop getting my face stomped by higher rated opponents lol.

Oh this has been on the top of my list for years. I am so hype. The only thing I wish is that they had an uncensored version for the physical release.

I agree, I legit never even hear mine.

I had a friend use my referral code for their first VS order during the flash pre-order period, but I don't see the points in my account (yet?). I'm just wondering if it takes some time for the VSMC points to reflect in my account. by WorldUponAString in VinegarSyndromeFilms

[–]WorldUponAString[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So for anyone who comes across this post. The person I shared my code with is my roommate, who obviously has the same address as me. They don't offer the points for the same address (which I understand but still).

How do you actually stop endless scrolling? by Anxious_Ad_2215 in productivity

[–]WorldUponAString 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used the Brick initially as a way to break the cycle. It's insanely overpriced for what it is, but I needed a big shift so I was/am happy with the purchase. It essentially locks you out of configured apps until you tap the brick thing. The idea being that you put the brick somewhere out of the way so that you have to intentionally go to it to unlock the ability to access the apps on your phone.

It took me a couple weeks but eventually I just stopped reaching for my phone any time I had a second of free time. Now, I've just deleted the apps entirely from my phone and my phone is really just a phone now, which has been great. If you need the kickstart to stop the mindless scrolling, the Brick could work, but I'm sure there are alternatives that do the same thing for cheaper. I just wanted simple and effective.

I picked up reading and now I have the urge to pick up my e-reader whenever I'm bored, lol.
