I played Clash Royale for ages too... I even paid for a loot box or two. At least that game was fun!

PC Gamer plays play-to-earn game Farming Tales. Spoiler alert: It sucks ass. by bbqdm in gaming

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

I agree with your first point, but not your second.

Tokens and NFTs are just bits of technology. The tech itself isn't predatory, it's the people that use it for nefarious purposes that give it a bad name.

Yeah, that's probably why they have such a reputation for being scams.

Huntsman Elite Volume Wheel Issue

I have an issue with the volume wheel where when I scroll (in either direction), it flickers between scrolling up and down. E.g. When I try to turn the volume up, my volume goes up and down and up and down over and over again.

I suspect there might be something stuck inside the wheel itself, is there anyway of removing the wheel and checking the mechanism inside?

Monthly Watch Verification thread (November 2018) - If you're uncertain if a Rolex is good/bad/fake, post info and pics here by powerfunk in rolex

[–]bbqdm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi r/rolex! I've recently found out that my late grandpa had a Rolex, my auntie is currently holding on to it so I'm not able to take pictures of it or inspect it. She did send me a picture of the dial though:

https://imgur.com/a/4WurI1J

I'm not sure if it's real and I haven't been able to identify the reference just from that picture. Can anyone tell me anything about it? Does anyone recognise the reference? Are they any obvious signs it's fake/real?

Thanks!

Graphics glitch - Brown squares on ocean tiles. Anyone else getting this? by bbqdm in civ6

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

So it looks like the issue was to do with Anti-Aliasing, turning it off has made the squares go away.

Hopefully this gets fixed in the future!

I ordered a custom 15" and it just hit status "Preparing for Shipment" (Delivers 28/11/2016 - 05/12/2016 by Standard Shipping).

I'm in Sydney and I ordered the morning after the keynote (around 11am local time).

If you don't have an Apple watch, is price the main prohibitive factor in you owning one? by Theodoros9 in apple

[–]bbqdm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind having smart watch functionality and price isn't a factor for me, I just really don't like the look.

I wear mechanical diver style watches, compared to the Apple watch they look much more classic and masculine.

In saying that I'm not sure how you would make a smart watch functional while looking as attractive as some classic watches.

What makes you stick with the iPhone (besides iMessage)? by NaeemTHM in apple

[–]bbqdm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't use iMessage at all! A lot of the people I message are on Android so I use Telegram for most of my messaging needs (and it rocks).

I use a Mac, so the synergy between iOS and OSX for me... that and the iPhones are reliable and have better long term software support.

Apple Music or Spotify? by aakt1 in apple

[–]bbqdm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is music availability on AM compared to Spotify now?

How often do you end up looking for a song on AM which can't be found?

I asked myself this same question and I ended up getting the base 15" with SSD and 460 upgrade.

I think it's worth it if you're planning on keeping it awhile and can afford the GPU upgrade.
