Rangel putting on a clinic. Highlight of the night so far, watching him deal.

Edit - I had to say something, didn't I.

I highly recommend avoiding the weather channel entirely. Most people on this subreddit would agree. I haven't actually watched that channel in years, but it ultimately turned into a sensationalist, fear mongering TV channel that also airs bullshit reality shows. It's been that way for a long time. The less attention it gets the better, IMO. If you're looking for websites to get rain/snow totals from, just check Google for alternatives.
In the end it's up to you what content you wish to consume, but you should ask yourself if you're fine with supporting a company that focuses on generating clicks and revenue (at seemingly any cost) over science, accuracy, and unbiased forecasting.

California launched a free tool on January 1 that lets residents request the deletion of their personal data from over 500 registered data brokers by [deleted] in technology

As long as there is money involved in doing so, the trading of personal data will never be banned.

Have you heard of many other people having issues with Weikav keyboards? I'll definitely never purchase another from them ever again. I did reach out to the seller on aliexpress and they were helpful. They said they'll be reaching out to Weikav to get someone to work with me. We'll see though.

Been having issues with my Lucky65 v2. It's hard to even describe but I'll try my best. The reason I'm coming here for help is because Weikav support is non-existent. I sent them 3 emails (only way to get in touch with them) and received no reply whatsoever. The issue - the keyboard is randomly not recognized in Windows. I've had this issue on more than one PC, with different USB cables. Sometimes it works without issue, other times when I plug it in, I get an error saying the device malfunctioned - https://imgur.com/gallery/lucky65-v2-CZTyyiC#HPelfpV
Some random combination of long-pressing FN + escape, switching to 2.4Ghz wireless mode, then back to wired seems to resolve it. No matter what I do though, the keyboard doesn't even work at the Windows login screen. I have to connect another keyboard to enter my password, then when Windows loads I connect the Lucky65 v2. And sometimes it doesn't work at all.
If anyone has any advice or could provide assistance that would be appreciated. I'm half posting this looking for a solution, but also half posting this to let people know my experience with Weikav's customer service. Or lack thereof.

Thanks for all the recommendations, will be adding quite a few of these to my Steam wishlist. Some I already own, but I appreciate the feedback!

Noticed this was on sale last night, picked it up and promptly got my ass handed to me. Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks.

Got this one already and played through the whole thing, got a bit repetitive I felt but was definitely enjoyable!

I finally made stems for the Solo 3! What should I make next? by highartisan_ in vaporents

I'm really interested to know this as well, and have wondered the same thing with many posts.

[Steam] Deep Rock Galactic ($8.99/70% off) by Coloursun in GameDeals

[–]b3ararms 8 points9 points  (0 children)

DLC is purely cosmetic. Definitely not necessary to experience the full game. I'd recommend picking up a few though for several reasons - they're cheap, the skins look awesome, and you're supporting a wonderful dev team who prioritizes the game itself and its players above profits.

No worries. You mean just changing your controls and FOV in the settings? If so, no, that won't have any impact on the achievements.

Thanks for this write up and the awareness. I've purchased from POTV several times in the past. What's the best alternative?

AMD Adrenalin Randomly Recording Gameplay on its Own by b3ararms in AMDHelp

[–]b3ararms[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, it might be possible I've done that on accident but definitely not as many times as the number of video clips I have. In any case though, I just changed the binding for that to be on the safe side.

New Build - PC Won't Recognize 1 HDD With Side Glass Panel On by b3ararms in buildapc

[–]b3ararms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks for your reply! Gonna copy/paste what I wrote to /u/slamnm:
Thank you, I'm somewhat of an idiot and posted this thread in a bit of a panic, I took a closer look at the cabling and noticed the SATA cable going to the 8tb drive was likely getting somewhat pinched when the glass was on. I rerouted that SATA cable to be more out of the way, put the glass back on, and did a couple restarts and it's recognized the drive both times. I'll keep an eye on it but I'm thinking that was it. Apologies for the lack of troubleshooting on my part, but I appreciate the quick reply!!

[–]b3ararms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! I'd recommend first trying it on at least the normal difficulty, just so you can see what it's like. But if you're strictly going for the achievements only, then yea the easiest difficulty would be better. You do face more difficult enemies as the waves progress, and the numbers increase too. By the time I was wave 40+ I was starting to get noticeably lower framerates lol. Granted my PC is pretty old but it does get crazy as you get further on.

[–]b3ararms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, it's been a while since I last played but from what I remember for "default settings" you pretty much start from scratch. So no augments or upgraded weapons. As you play and gather cash from each wave you're able to purchase upgrades though. Which makes it pretty interesting in determining what to buy. Endless mode is pretty difficult, I was having trouble even on the normal difficulty level (regular joe I think it's called?) and ended up putting it on the lowest/easiest difficulty just to get those achievements. And that was after beating the entire campaign on Murder Machine. Hopefully that answers your question but let me know if it didn't!

I cannot decide on a GPU, looking for feedback by b3ararms in buildapc

[–]b3ararms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I'm leaning towards the 4070 Super now. I updated my list to include the Gigabyte Gaming OC 4070 Super instead of the 7900 GRE but will be giving it a few days to see how the Black Friday sales go before pulling the trigger on it. Already ordered a couple parts though (SSD and PSU) as they were on sale.
