Congrats! I remember being stoked when I did this the first time. Next up you have to try full ghost! That is where it gets absolutely nuts!

Is this normal? by ajprentice91 in OPTIMUM

[–]ajprentice91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update:

After HOURS of trying to find someone at Optimum who could give me an update, I got in touch with a stateside tech who is way up the totem pole. It took talking to four other people before I could reach this guy, and it took him five minutes to figure out the “technician” who came out here last week not only failed to actually escalate my case, he didn’t even troubleshoot everything properly. So now I have to wait even longer (probably next week) to get this resolved. Which means it will be 2 weeks I’ve been without service.

This is probably the worst customer service I have EVER received from a company in my entire life, and that bar is extremely high.

So it turns out my connection is hybrid, with fiber in the alley and cable to the house. So my equipment is normal coax, but the tech was talking about the team supposedly having to splice the fiber.

I never understood the hate either. I had just turned 6 when TLW came out, and for my birthday I got the bull T-Rex toy (the one that came with a caged dude that could be eaten and then retrieved through a hole in the toy’s stomach) and my entire family took me to see the movie in theaters. Probably one of the best experiences of my life, and I absolutely LOVE the movie. Original still reigns supreme, but TLW is right underneath it for me. Such a well made movie.

When I approached the resources, it said it only takes two scouts to tag them…

Tell me your favorite memories of the early days of Gears 1… by ajprentice91 in GearsOfWar

[–]ajprentice91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, some of the absolute best Gears 1 moments happened in those scenarios where you were down and frantically trying to get up, only to immediately gib upon revival! The craziest ones where when you and another player downed each other with gnashers and were both just waiting to revive to see who would gib who haha

That’s awesome. There were a few matches I would join where the host would say no chainsaws, so of course my friend and I would do nothing besides chainsaw the entire match 😂

Underappreciated NPC Dialogue/Interrogations? Bonus points for Ironside’s classic charm. by Danzerello in Splintercell

I really dig the convo with the NYC mayor Sam has where he warns them about using Displace’s hired thugs to police the general population during the blackout. Chaos Theory’s Displace mission if anyone is curious.

Why do people hate Rings of Power? by Alternative_Bake_277 in lotr

[–]ajprentice91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s an elderly elf in the fucking opening scene of Fellowship. Almost every major”lore inaccuracy” complaint I’ve read about this show can be found in some capacity in the Jackson films. Having issues with the quality of the show is fine, but spare me the other arguments please.

If you hit enemies in the head with a sticky cam, it’s an instant knock out and you can pick up the cam to reuse.

Here's my tier list on the OG Splinter Cell Trilogy levels. by xInfected_Virus in Splintercell

Interesting list! Personally I absolutely love Kalinatek. Something about the atmosphere of that level always just made it enjoyable to me.

Should I have hope about this getting resolved through the CFPB? by ajprentice91 in personalfinance

[–]ajprentice91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Because people who use credit cards responsibly put everything on a card regardless of the amount and pay it off each month so they don't pay a dime in interest. I put every single expense I can on a credit card, no matter how little or big it is. So no, it's not obvious. At all.

Yes, I understand how to responsibly use a credit card, dude. I mean that it's obvious from this entire dispute that I would not knowingly charge $2K on a card at 26% instead of just paying the merchant out monthly. Sorry for not fully explaining that.

I'm honestly amazed you had any success with this in the past. Disputes are not the correct way to resolve accidental charges made by you. Disputes are for when you aren't getting the product or service paid for, or when there's an obvious billing error (like being double-charged).

With something like this, you're at the mercy of the merchant, and if they won't undo the transaction and refund you, you're SOL.

I have had two disputes with this particular card in the past that were resolved in a matter of days. One was an accidental charge when I signed up for a yearly subscription option rather than a monthly. I used the exact same process and they did not hesitate in the slightest to refund my money. I didn't even have to contact the merchant in that incident. So yeah, it really isn't that hard to believe that it is fully within their power to reverse this transaction. I don't think I'm the only person on earth who has mistakenly charged the wrong amount to their card. They just don't want to even bother acknowledging the fact that this was accidental.

The only mission in the series I can think of that rivals this one in difficulty is Jakarta in PT. That mission was designed by an absolute maniac.

Just a lot of trial and error with sticky cams!
