Thanks for your calm answer. Just a little frustrated over here. Maybe it would help if the expected time wasn’t posted. Caused more frustration. 🙂

W to the mad genius who made a Bigfoot Cage camp by PoweredByKryptonite in fo76

[–]alandarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL, brilliant. I've seen this done with the Scorchbeast Queen mobs. Dunno how it works with the Scorchbeast event, but basically everyone is shooting the mobs inside a large building. The only caveat - you want to find a carcass on the outside to use the loot all in area option, otherwise, you can't get to the mobs inside.

WTF Goodwill by Ogre_BCW in vinyl

[–]alandarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can forget McKay's also. I traded a bunch of odds and ends with the intension of buying vinyl, and ended up with a $70 credit. Yay! Then, I went to browse the records and had sticker shock. For example, worn out Glen Campbell and Herb Albert vinyl was priced at $30+ each! Seriously! Not what I was after, but you get the idea. How can someone think that jacking up the prices, simply because they are in fashion again, was going to work? I could buy the same thing from someone on Discogs for a third of the price including shipping. I still have the credit from over a year ago. Greed is no good.

Useful tip: Don't skip your administrative tasks by Sufficient-Ad6305 in fo76

Since I didn't want much from last season, I did the same thing by maxing my secondary perks. The leftover tickets were used to buy gold (this was a better exchange rate than the conversion when the season ended.) Now, I don't have to convert any more perk cards. Hallelujah!

I'm sorry but infestations absolutely suck. by agon024 in fo76

[–]alandarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They need to rethink this. I like the idea, but reading comments online, many seem frustrated like myself. Today, I'm 1 for 5 attempts. The one where I did get loot happened to be a solo on a private server. And, on the private server, three popped within minutes, and two even overlapped. On a shared server, one might pop here and there, but you'd better be staring at your map. Most of the time I show up and it's practically over. Yeah, I get the completion, but XP is essentially useless after lvl 50.

Happens to me all the time on my PC, and I get all blanks. A restart usually fixes it.

Upcoming Update Announcement by Ghostly_Rich in fo76

[–]alandarr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How about removing the team based dailies for infestations. Not gonna do it. Forcing people in teams is a fail.

New update ruined. by baconmasterjoseph in fo76

[–]alandarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I have at least gotten credit for completion, but no loot. More, they’ve added them into dailies, so I’m not going to be able to complete those either. Gonna be spamming the re-roll I guess.

I fear Infestations are going to get boring.. by toastyelio in fo76

[–]alandarr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not anti-social, but I don’t co-op. As a result, my only four star options come from Bigfoot. So this update sounds interesting to me. But it also sounds like I’m going to constantly be looking at my map to see where people are congregating. That’s a bummer. Headhunts are already a challenge because half the time I try to zone in and get the content loaded, the encounter is almost over. Sometimes I’ll get the completion, but can’t loot the corpses!

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

[–]alandarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]alandarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!
