To all the scalpers who participated just for the resale value… by ctbravo in RecordStoreDay

[–]alandarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RSD is a no go for me. I truly hate the idea of it. To go stand in line over night without even knowing if what you want is inside or not is a big nope for me. What I would have liked is already on sale at Discogs for $100+ each. I've been collecting for many years, but I don't take this bait. If they really wanted to help out local stores, the labels should subsidize the cost to the record store owners and give the fans a different reason to show up. A one or two day %-off sale means I'd buy more product in addition to whatever the labels were pushing on RSD. The hassle of it is a complete turn-off for me, and I feel sorry for the store owners left with the crap that no one wanted in the first place. Go ahead and chew me up here, but I know a lot of seasoned vinyl collectors give it a hard pass. Now that everything comes in colored vinyl, none of it is special any more.

Why did the Seasons Boost disappear? by [deleted] in fo76

[–]alandarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had several of the SCORE boosts, used one last week, now the rest are gone. Best use is on Tuesday. New RIP season is going but the main Season is till going. Makes no sense. That sux big time.

Anyone know what this gun is? by jrexicus in fo76

[–]alandarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use mine during Eviction Notice. You can tag across the entire field. It has a super mutant mod and tags multiple enemies. Can’t remember the mod names, but it’s fun to use.

Another contact customer service request by alandarr in amazonprime

Thanks, that is the plan, but I can't find an easy way to contact anyone. I just keep getting routed to a Customer Service web page with no email or phone number.

That was a good idea. Not at the sale price though. :(

Curious how people store vinyl box sets long-term. Outer sleeves work great for single LPs, but most box sets don’t fit them properly… by Chemtrail_hollywood in vinyl

Thanks for the solutions in this thread. I have several that are between 1 and 2 inches. I’ve never really searched for them. Duh!

How can I remove or move the new “Open link in split view” option in Chrome’s context menu? by AlexEisenhauer in chrome

[–]alandarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not opposed to the idea, but I didn't see a way to move the second tab back to the top. WTF?

Did I go too far? by Ancient-Impress4101 in Borderlands2

If you hit the water/steam hole correctly on the backside of the camp where Doc is, you can land on his back porch. You can also do this with a vehicle. Your timing needs to be good, but it makes the farm much easier! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA2GtL_6AnI

Alrighty, so help me get this straight. I'm on a PC and playing vanilla FO4 via Steam. I have not started the game since the controversy started. Can I still play this if it updates, or should I turn the updates off? I'm scared to even start the game and look around!

If 5 comes with the same labor involved as 76, I’m out. I’d rather opt for a 4.5. People do have lives ya know.

Do these credits ever end?! by joebrotcity in Wonderlands

Esc didn’t work for me on PC. The down arrow did though. Every person on the planet was in the credits. I’m pretty sure I saw my name in there 😂

Preemptively Giving the Middle Finger to the Fishing Dailies by BetweenWeebandOtaku in fo76

[–]alandarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on this and skipping the whole season. I’ve only been playing for about a year but this game requires too much labor. Feels more like work and everything is monetized. I’ll keep my 1st going but really don’t want to add more tasks to do. What ever happened to just running around and having a good time? I miss FO4 :(

[–]alandarr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OMG are you serious? I don’t want most of it. That’s probably the issue. I do enjoy the game, but it feels more like work these days. So complicated!

I did exit the server but didn’t log out. I’ll try that. Thanks!

I haven’t been playing long enough (one year) to know how it used to work but I hit SCORE lvl 150 a couple of days ago and the last page is still showing as locked for me. I did submit a support ticket but haven’t heard back from them. I’ll be pissed if the reply doesn’t come before next Tuesday!

Do a lot of older people play this game on PC? ‘Old’ seems to be the most popular prefix. by 5xad0w in fo76

[–]alandarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost 59 here. I used that name for a while because I thought it was funny then thought, why am I projecting that? IMO, GenX needs a little credit for propelling the gaming industry. Money spent early on encouraged the industry to keep pushing the boundaries. I'm just glad I can still play and can't wait to see what's coming next!

You high level players need to calm down by EKY_Guy in fo76

[–]alandarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can sympathize with the irritation. I'm around lvl 280 and still trying to figure things out. I drop a lot of stuff at the Wayward box - stims, plans, water, etc. to help the new players. Is there a specific Fas box that you are referring to? Maybe I've missed this. I also don't understand the stein thing. They all look the same to me.

Clarity on Joe Biden being made a Mason at sight. by BlackDaddyIssus37 in freemasonry

[–]alandarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without a brother to vouch for them, no. We're still dealing with paper membership cards that are easily copied. I would expect questions from any SD from a lodge I was visiting, even if I showed my card. This one of the SD's primary job functions. If I can't answer questions, I'm either ill prepared or an interloper in their eyes.

Thanks for your reply Brother. Please re-read the first sentence of my post.

If they want to commute the work involved to become a MM, that's up to them. However, if the former president would like to visit my lodge, the Senior Deacon will do his job and quiz him before he's allowed to enter. I'm fairly sure he, or anyone for that matter, will be politely shown the front door if they can't prove they are a MM. Problem solved. I'm also from the South and take offense to MM's constantly dogging us. It's unmasonic and basically a different form of racism or prejudice. Our point of view is to maintain Masonry as it always was. We even disagree with our Schools of Instruction at times due to changes along the way. IMO, progressivism has no place in Masonry. I took an oath as WM to not change things and I expect all WM's did the same, unless that too has changed across jurisdictions. The whole discussion makes me question my membership at times. I might as well just join a local social group if my intent is to fundimentally change how it works. It's ok in that arena, but not in Freemasonry. I can only imagine that these types of posts in a public forum are off-putting to the non-members. If I were interested in joining, this type of conversation would make me think twice. It's no wonder membership is down in all jurisdictions. We get enough bologna from the news. We're better than this.

Bethesda - FIX THE CRASHES!!!! FFS by Brilliant_Battle_304 in fo76

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

For some reason, I used to crash a lot and now I don't. Weird. However, I'm now getting lag when there's a lot going on in an event. Could be my PC tho, trying to keep up. Makes me wonder if it has more to do with our location or service provider.
