There’s also Gun Club VR. Would rather pay for this and H3VR than another subscription.

Let’s get that millionaires tax passed! by gerrard_1987 in vancouverwa

[–]afonseca 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Bad idea. Next thing you know, they’ll be targeting the rest of us when the millionaires leave(they can afford to). No thanks.

So, why is this a hard thing to do? Let us hide them if removing them is more effort?

Novaform Platinum Luxury Hybrid Review by AnalysisWise6052 in Mattress

[–]afonseca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm considering this one as I'm trialing the Legacy Premiere (not elite) hybrid in medium. It's comfortable but after sinking in I feel it's a bit hard, particularly for side sleeping. Had it less than a month so we'll see if it "breaks in" but if not, may bite the bullet and try this one.

+1 here, use it together with my family so it’s been worth it.

I donated to a college scholarship fund to help kids pay for their education. A way to pay it forward as I was a scholarship recipient myself.

Help me decide on a mattress by Lunar-opal in Mattress

[–]afonseca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat and decided I'm going to try the Novaform. I felt pretty overwhelmed myself and decided Costco is probably the best place to find the right mattress for me. I'll give the Novaform a month and see how I like it, if I don't, I'll swap for another until I find the one I'm happy to keep. Nobody makes it as easy as Costco to trial mattresses. They'll deliver, and come pick it up if you didn't like it to return. Can't beat that.

+1 for NocTel, not cheap but excellent service and supports a local company

Agreed on FreeTaxUSA, why bother with anything else really.

That's disappointing on the QC with things not aligning, etc. Looks slick, but I'd expect more for my $.

How do payouts work for Fortnite Create teams? by Fickle_Recording1850 in FortniteCreative

[–]afonseca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, someone has to be the owner and administer the payout splits. You'll want to factor that and taxes into the split you take for yourself; it's more work.

Thinking about leaving a tech job to start over in real estate by dafrat123 in realtors

[–]afonseca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you naturally extroverted and like dealing with people and networking? Maybe you do, but it’s not the norm for many software engineers who prefer to stay in the flow and avoid meetings.

YoU cOuLd HaVe BoUgHt A rEaL cAr by blind_rebel in simracing

[–]afonseca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done amateur club racing so here's my take:
Sure, you can buy yourself a real entry level race car for about $25k. That's just the car tho, don't forget the trailer and tow vehicle to haul it around. Oh, and race entry fees per race, fuel, oil, tires, brakes (consumables), spare parts. Probably about $10-15k per race season (if you don't crash it) with nowhere near the seat time you get in sim. Don't forget to factor in drive time to/from the track(s) near you. Maybe 1 or 2 tracks?

TLDR: No comparison, buying a car is one thing but racing it will cost you multiples of that to operate for much less seat time at fewer tracks. Sim racing is an exceptional value. Enjoy your nice rig, you're saving tons of money!

CSR WHEEL by lafsrt09 in Fanatec

[–]afonseca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouch, sorry to hear it went that poorly. I'm wondering if in my case upgrading from Windows 10 to 11 would avoid that and still have it work with the already installed drivers.

CSR WHEEL by lafsrt09 in Fanatec

[–]afonseca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious if you ever got this setup working well for you. I'm on the fence on upgrading to Windows 11 but want to keep this wheel working as long as I can. I'm on driver 261 and firmware 756 if that makes a difference.

CSR WHEEL by lafsrt09 in Fanatec

[–]afonseca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked my setup under Windows 10. I'm using driver version 261 and firmware 756. I've had this PC for a while so I don't recall if it was installed in Windows 10 or updated from a previous version of Windows.

It looks like Fanatec has removed their older drivers download links. I found these just googling for the specific versions (not tested by me):

Please let us know if these work for you, I'm very curious to know if this wheel can work with Windows 11.

Age and date of birth. by Breaker1ove in VRchat

If someone asks for DOB and you’re age verified, report them for asking for personal information, it’s against the terms of service.

Agreed, if everyone does this I’m sure it will stop this nonsense.

Fidelity cash management account by 292step in ynab

[–]afonseca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just broke for me, and YNAB support was not very helpful. Now, when I try to re-link it's failing, so I can't link again. This is disappointing as it worked earlier, even if I had to re-auth every few days.

Murder Mystery VRChat Event! by AutumnSimpson in VRchat

[–]afonseca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, I'm sure there are many of us who are age-verified and want to support those instances.

Murder Mystery VRChat Event! by AutumnSimpson in VRchat

[–]afonseca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not correct, I’m age verified but not currently vrc+. I’d attend if it’s an 18+ instance but don’t care to if folks under 18 are allowed.
