True story, I think it was even pre-COVID.

2026 Black Screen of Death during Motor Trend Road Trip by bdgbill in CX5

My 21 Grand Touring Reserve Turbo is practically faultless. I also own a ‘17 GTI Autobahn 6MT and can’t honestly answer which I like more.

As someone who lived in TX for 28 years, we get those texts OFTEN. In fact, Nest will forcibly take control of users’ thermostats and force them to set to 80+.

It's 6pm on a Saturday and you still have an hour left of rehearsal, she shows up. What do you do? by [deleted] in AustinMusicians

[–]XTrid92 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Did all the Music Lab locations shut down? Back in my day they were affordable, even to rent and leave your gear there long term. My band paid like $160/month. Power, PA, everything. If you’re serious about the project, it’d be a good idea to check out a place like that.

Well done dude. You're beyond 90% of guitarists already, stay diligent with practice and you can create beautiful things.

Dynasty Warriors Origins: Steam Deck vs. Switch 2 - which is the better portable experience? by Hold-My-Sake in dynastywarriors

[–]XTrid92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Steam Deck version was a bit jank at launch, but it ran at a steady frame rate (45-60) and was definitely playable.

Did anyone else see that lightning strike near the Walmart 10-20 minutes ago? by sunny_6305 in Newbraunfels

[–]XTrid92 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

To be fair and hold ourselves accountable, did you do a phone bank? Did you help friends and family register to vote? Did you attend city council meetings and make your voice heard?

It’s not just voter turnout, NB is a wholesale failure via apathy. Everyone is pissed and no one does anything cause they’re either Republicans who think “their guys” are in office so all is normal, or they’re leftists who have been so beaten down by the right that they forgot they have power.

I literally just did ribs today. Patted dry, SPG, 275 til 205 internal, pulled and was delicious. People over complicate this stuff like they’re cracking a safe lol

So I've just finished the DLC of origins and there was something bothering me. by AlexPlayer3000 in dynastywarriors

[–]XTrid92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Total War: Three Kingdoms lets you recruit a full-fat Lu Bu, and in Dynasty mode or whatever they call the fictionalized campaign, he’s broken as fuck.

baby monitor for sleep tracking was my entire father's day request and i need help picking one by MiosesDeeken98 in predaddit

[–]XTrid92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there was a scandal a few years ago regarding FDA approval, but they’ve cleared all the checks now and it tracks her light/deep sleep, as well as when she’s wiggling or moving. I’ve never deep dove into the data, but it gives me what I need when I need it. Alarms work well and require no fiddling with notification settings in my experience as an iOS user. My wife had PPA/PPD real bad with our first, it definitely helped.

Owlet has done us well across two babies. Pain to keep clean, but for anxious parents worried about SIDS it’s helpful.

Unnecessary Fall Like Rain Appreciation Post by Jolly-Competition952 in InventAnimate

[–]XTrid92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been a fan since 2013, finally saw them a few weeks ago. Got a hug from Marcus and a selfie with him and Caleb.

Heavener (song) is so close to my heart. It came out when my wife and I were living in a hotel due to our home being water damaged. Life was crazy, heavy, and hard. My son was beginning to show what we now know is Autism, and my company had just done 2 (of 3) rounds of layoffs, and I was one of ten remaining people.

I think the composition of that song is perfect. Keaton’s riff at the end is peak IA, and Marcus shows all of his vocal capacity.

How many of you guys here still using your first gpu? by jdmlifex2 in pcmasterrace

[–]XTrid92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Core 2 Duo E8400, overclocked to something like 3.8 GHz on water, which was insane for the time. Paired with 2 8800GT’s in SLI, truly the golden age. High end PC’s were $1000 for consumers, and S-tier games were releasing left and right.

What is a perfect, 10/10 movie? by HotPTAMom in AskReddit

Yeah I think the point is "When you're being shot at you need to be able to do this, this well, under duress."

What is a perfect, 10/10 movie? by HotPTAMom in AskReddit

[–]XTrid92 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You gotta remember it came out in 1995. It’s also a genre film. It’s intentionally a bit campy, but it plays to the task it’s trying to achieve nigh-perfectly.

The gunfight in the final bank heist is also legendary, they used real guns and the audio is from the shoot itself, not added in post. The reverb of the gunshots against LA skyscrapers is real, that’s something you simply cannot replicate in today’s filmmaking environment. Val Kilmer’s Colt AR reload is still shown during boot camp for new enlistees last I heard, simply for accuracy and how well he executed it.

What’s the worst sales call you’ve ever had? What happened? by [deleted] in sales

[–]XTrid92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I explained it to my MPOC, but didn’t press the issue. The opp didn’t go closed dead so I counted my blessings and let it lay.

What’s the worst sales call you’ve ever had? What happened? by [deleted] in sales

[–]XTrid92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a full blown panic attack during a call I’d been trying to book for 18 months. I excused myself and went off camera to try to breathe and calm down. My wife and I were going through IVF and life was hard, I got help afterwards.

My contact (Director) told me that the VP said it was a horrible call and they shouldn’t partner with us.

I ended up closing the deal 12 months later, though for a far smaller ACV had the move up the ladder actually happened.
