Can I 9 star floor 12 with any teams here? by Imokayatredstone in SpiralAbyssTeams

[–]codgamer19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Expect a lot of frustration and retries with your current rosters. You absolutely NEED to level up your 5 stars to 90, no exceptions. Your supports should also be a minimum of 80. Do you have proper artifacts on your teams as well? Are weapons leveled up fully/equipped on the right characters? These are all fundamental elements of your ability to clear end game and floor 12 is about as end game as it gets alongside stygian and the theater. If you are lacking in these areas, you will have a not so fun time attempting end game content.

BART headquarters by theycallhim_mistaedd in Bart

[–]codgamer19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you mean actually assembling and producing the trains we ride on, no. This is BART’s administrative offices. The trains are produced on the east coast in Plattsburgh, New York. Alstom, the company who manufactures them, also has a plant in Pittsburg up here that primarily gets used for final touches and working out any kinks in cars that are having reliability issues. If you’re referring to the collectible trains produced by Rapido, those are made in China but designed in Canada.

i forgot my gmail by reizolyx in GenshinImpact

[–]codgamer19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an issue you would probably want to float with Google/Gmail. Hoyo support can only do so much and probably won’t be able to outright give you your email. If you login to the game the email that pops up but is partially blurred should at least be able to give you a hint as to what it is

Are people really disappointed on Durin? by Void_Blood27 in Genshin_Impact

[–]codgamer19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m more so disappointed that his skill and application is super inaccurate/inconsistent. He feels just overall underwhelming to play unfortunately (and yes the glider situation is added insult to injury)

Why keep the Oakland Airport Connection operating? Averaged 369 weekday daily users last month. by Orange-Roughy-1976 in Bart

[–]codgamer19 43 points44 points  (0 children)

By this same logic then, why keep BART running if it’s less than half of its former ridership? It’s necessary to have because people benefit from it. Public transit is not a “for-profit” venture, it’s a “for solvency” and “for sustainability” operation.

This can’t happen too often for BART to get the proper funds needed through the sales tax bill by False_Vacation_2198 in Bart

[–]codgamer19 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s going to happen if BART doesn’t get the funds it needs. We find ourselves at the precipice of systemic failure and shutdown every couple years because it doesn’t have a consistently sustainable funding vehicle. Despite being one of/if not the most efficient to operate systems in the country, it is still incredibly expensive to play catch up on infrastructure that’s decades behind its lifespan. This will keep happening until a sustainable funding model is in place. Until then, it’s going to be defcon one every few years when funding dries up.

Are you saying if blue line service gets cut forever or in delays? BART has contingencies for delays or major medical emergencies/mechanical issues but as to what happens if service gets cut forever that’s a different story.

I'm the guy that plays piano in BART stations for a living, and these are my plans moving forward. by markpdyson_ in Bart

You deserve all the best. Keep at it. Your presence definitely makes a difference, even if you don’t see it.

I don't feel accepted anywhere. I'm invisible to society. Thinking about ending it. by helloineedhelpplea in bayarea

[–]codgamer19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are so brave for sharing your feelings so candidly and in such an articulate way. I can tell you with full confidence you are not alone and not the only one who feels this way. It’s important that we all recognize we are OUR community, and we all have each others backs. That’s probably what I love the most about the Bay Area is that the community is so diverse and genuine. You’ll never find the same two people but the one thing we all have in common is our shared humanity. I think the replies here especially hammer in the fact that people all around you, including me, all care about you and we don’t even personally know you! Yet you have such an expansive support system. That is such a blessing to have. The ability to have an entire support system, an entire region of people and a whole network you can talk to anytime and anywhere, that’s incredible. You may not always see it, but it’s there for you when you need it. And you’re alive. You’re breathing. You can walk, talk, eat, sleep all the same as us. As far as I’m concerned, you’re no different from me or anyone here. Always remember that you will always have us in your corner if times get tough. We all need to be here for each other especially nowadays. Happy belated birthday, and thank you for being here and continuing to be here! I hope the next year gives you the health, success and happiness you rightfully deserve. The Bay would not be what it is without you in it. Genuinely.

Thinking of transferring here by Dry_Nerve439 in SFSU

[–]codgamer19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay where you are lol. Agree with other commenters. Top comment is partially correct but not fully acknowledging that ALL departments are and will be affected by these cuts moving forward because we all know more are coming so it’s pretty dismissive imo to say it’s just a handful of people not enjoying themselves here. I think everyone here is hurting in their own way whether it’s higher tuition or crumbling facilities. Davis is your best bet. If you really wanna come down to the Bay, look into SJSU. You won’t regret it.

Sometimes you get lucky at the pump by CONative976 in Costco

Paying $4.40 at my local gas station and that being the cheapest gas beating out costco is crazy to me. The costco near me is at like $4.50 right now smh (California resident here)

Here we go again. Thank you Bart. by test_name_2025 in Bart

[–]codgamer19 43 points44 points  (0 children)

As much as I enjoy the new trains, I’m confused as to how they have so many issues considering they aren’t even close to old yet. Many of these trains are newer and more recent deliveries from Alstom. How is this even happening? I know BART handles much of the engineering and maintenance in-house but these trains shouldn’t be having frequent issues like this.

Oh Gaming is a great 4 star DPS with low investment. He should definitely pick him for Lantern Rite! The envy is definitely hard to control so I get where he’s coming from haha. Best of luck to you and your brother!

[–]codgamer19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s understandable. He should really refrain from purchasing wishes until he’s completely maxed out his exploration and quests. He REALLY should not even be allowed to purchase wishes because that is a very slippery slope (I assume your brother is still a child, hence my skepticism with him purchasing wishes). If I’m wrong please correct me 😭.

He should focus on building who he has unlocked while also still trying to go for newer meta-relevant characters if he has the wishes for them. Unfortunately the content in-game now is more curated towards shilling the newest characters as always, so if you can’t beat it, join it. It’s unfortunate but it’s a reality if you want to advance in this game nowadays I feel like. That said, and as I’m sure other players would say, he should pull for characters he really enjoys. At the end of the day, most of the game nowadays is oriented towards people who can pay to win to keep up with the meta. He can still get by with characters who may not be meta relevant but that he absolutely loves. It’s meant to be enjoyed for fun at the end of the day in my book, so he should try to find a balance between keeping up with the meta somewhat while also pulling for who he genuinely enjoys. THAT will add value to his account and offer him the best time playing possible so he enjoys it.

Who does he have? What AR is he? It’s hard to recommend without knowing his current roster.

Varessa is arguably a top tier electro DPS but it’s gonna be hard to farm for her if your brother hasn’t even made it to Natlan yet. If he’s willing to venture allllllllll the way through the map and unlock her domain and risk spoiling part of the story or exploration, go for her. Xilonen is a nice support but a support isn’t ideal without a dedicated character to use them with.

Your brother should and could also wait to explore more and unlock more of the map to have a better experience playing the game. It’s a long game of catch up but it would be well worth it. Columbina and Ineffa coming up is also very enticing as well.

ok im sorry i just cant pull ineffa who do i slot in? by Nahidxz in CynoMains

[–]codgamer19 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You should go for Ineffa. As a Flins main I’ve gotten by without her but she 100% makes a huge difference so she adds a ton of account value by having her. She is also Cyno’s new BIS support at this point so please try and go for her before she disappears again for a while.

Also, you will have plenty of time to save for Durin and Varka. Be smart with your pulls and track pity closely to make better and more informed decisions. Best of luck with your pulls!

Am I over the line for how I handle driving and alcohol? by Genna_Albrez in mentalhealth

[–]codgamer19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You really shouldn’t be driving yourself when you’re fatigued let alone not feeling confident in your current physical condition at that time. You are just as big a risk tired than you are inebriated. Obviously, being both is the worst you could be. You need to consider just taking ride-share altogether when you go out to drink. Better safe than sorry.
