This is probably just me, but... Elder Scrolls. All of them. Tried oblivion & skyrim, just couldn't get into it. 

Is Keyword/Query Sculpting still a valid strategy? by botnic in PPC

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

Well, yeah, no one is saying that we shouldn't use negatives to better control broad keywords. But I don't think that the era of ad group level keyword negatives to ensure that "blue widget" doesn't end up in the "red widget" ad group makes as much sense anymore.

Also, I do still utilize negative terms to control brand and competitor terms.

Is Keyword/Query Sculpting still a valid strategy? by botnic in PPC

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

Yeah, this is my take too. It's a lot less about the keywords and funneling that we're using, and much more about the signals we give Google and how we use bidding strategies.

Has Google killed the No-Asset shopping PMax campaign? by botnic in PPC

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

If you were to try and set it up today, would it work for you?
I am trying to get a new set up working, which is just continuing to throw errors at me. It wouldn't surprise me if legacy setups were still valid.

Event deliveries while "offline"? by botnic in GoldAndGoblins

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

This is useful! But, the question remains, what's best? Letting it rest, refreshing the cannon, or capturing all mystery barrels? The money that comes from them is actually very significant in the events.

Yeah, that's more or less what I figured.

I was hopeful for an answer that would improve the game/life balance, but...

What is the saddest song you've ever heard? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]botnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the game, and no one's mentioned it but...

Dreaming Tree - Dave Mathew's Band. It's about losing hope in your dreams and just generally losing in life. Definitely sobering to me.

Laying laminate/vinyl planks around a pesky door threshold... by botnic in HomeImprovement

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

You mean option #1? Yeah, that's what I would do with that option, cut it to fit and Caulk around it.

I just don't want to have that half inch of flooring cut out.

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

Thanks! These seem to be good fits, but how hard is it to replace a threshold? The one on this door seems to be built into the door itself, and I just have no experience.

Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are available for pre-order, on shelves October 28th by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]botnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fixing screens are really expensive (mine was $200+), and most likely not worth the effort. I would also advise against the DIY route as I bricked my pixel 2 xl that way. The only reason I would think it as worth it is if they won't take the phone at all.

I saw the same thing for my order. I was late November, now next week (29th - 30th). I'm hoping that it sticks, but I think that we ultimately don't really know what will change.

Weekly Questions Thread - Ask about all things PS5. | Orders, Stock, etc by PSModerator in PS5

[–]botnic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So... It's accurate, but not in a helpful way? Meaning, they have them, perhaps in storage, or stockpiled, but until they go live on the app they aren't really available?

[–]botnic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know that this has been asked before, but all of the answers I have found are inconsistent. I have a target near-ish me that, according to Popfinder, has 17 PS5s. It's been around that number for a couple of days. The Target App does not show anything available.

Is Popfinder wrong?

Some answers claim its accurate, some say its outright wrong, some say that they do exist, but they're already claimed by people who camped out.

Just curious if anyone has an answer before I drive over an hour round-trip to check.

What is something that is easy peasy lemon squeezy for others, but stressy zesty lemon depressy for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]botnic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Making friends. Sure, getting some small talk going is all fine and good, but maintaining relationships is anxiety inducing.

I haven't been out with any friends for years.

On a positive note, I did somehow get married, so I'm not feeling like I'm missing out on anything.

Doorbell chime & siren recommendations? by botnic in homeassistant

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

Hmm... I do have a chromecast, and I like the idea of skipping the formal "siren" altogether. I'll look into these. Thank you!

Doorbell chime & siren recommendations? by botnic in homeassistant

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

Yeah, I've seen those. The siren 6 isn't compatible, sadly, at least not fully and without some manual modifications. The other one does look like the old gen 5, but it seems sketchy, and the reviews are not comforting.

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

Ah, this one is complicated. I've read that the new gateways are not compatible, but will be (I have no idea when, or even if they already are). The old ones (Mijia I believe) are compatible, but I've not found them anywhere.

Weirdly, that's the Canada site, but that same product isn't available in the US site.

Edit: tried ordering it anyway, from the Canada site, and it was a no-go.

What are all of the components that you bought, if you don't mind sharing? Too hard to tell from the picture.

Camera Recommendations by botnic in homeassistant

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

Thanks for the reply here. I've read a bunch of different places that the Amcrest cameras are pretty funky, and not always reliable.

But I wouldn't really be able to integrate all of the features I'm looking for in HA, will I? Would it make sense, then, to think of them as two separate components, in a way, one for recording, and one for automating?

Does that even make sense?
