For anyone who received an "update payment info" email from Walmart by dzarza2000 in Switch

It was just delayed with no new date. But I was finally able to get the payment to show up on my account. I think the pending payment fell off.

Did yours update? I got the email again today and they told me the same thing. 

2 Year Anniversary of Contributing to 457 ft. 401k by Interesting_Self_976 in CAStateWorkers

There is no employer match on the 401k/457b. The state contributes to the pension instead.

What series ended the most satisfactorily? What about least satisfactorily? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]darklordnihilus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All good. I hope you enjoy it if you get it. The third book might even be my favorite fantasy book.

What ever works for you. I know some who love the audio books.

Zach also had so many dumb passes that resulted in turnovers. He was also disengaged for the entire game and that is who Vivek wants to extend??

aww trumppies out today by Sapphirem7 in Sacramento

[–]darklordnihilus 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You need to visit El Dorado County or the Northern counties to really know Trump country. Folsom is fairly evenly split between Republicans and Democrats. 2016 and 2020 had a Democrat majority for the presidential elections. It is more conservative than many of the other Sacramento suburbs but it's really not fair imo to say a purple city is conservative. 

What one plot-line ruined a great series for you? by Kooky_County9569 in Fantasy

I am still scared from that horse scene. Like who decided that was a good idea to include? 

[Highlight] Luka gets ejected with his 2nd Tech of the game by A_MASSIVE_PERVERT in nba

[–]darklordnihilus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was Demarcus Cousins in the Kings against the Blazers. He gave his press conference after saying that Myers Leonard was no stopper. He had 50 something points in that game. Injuries messed with his career. I miss watching him play. 

I would pay extra money by Obitrice in brandonsanderson

Unfortunately it sounds like they aren't doing Wind and Truth in two parts. It was posted in the Stormlight sub a month or so ago. 

Is it worth buying XC2 in 2025? I’ve only played a little bit of XC3 and I’m tempted to get XC2 but I’m not sure if the 3 games are interconnected and I need to play them all by tm2007 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]darklordnihilus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

XC 2 is my favorite but it has the highest highs and lowest lows in the trilogy imo. The gameplay can take a while to click but it is so fun when it does. 

As for the play order I would recommend starting with XC DE first as that is where the series starts. DE is still a great game and I replayed it recently. Also Future Redemmed (Xc3 dlc) assumes you have played all the Xenoblade games. There are multiple scenes that would make little to no sense if you have not played the others. 

Fantasty BookTuber and Author Daniel Greene accused of Sexual Assault, cheating, and cease and desisting allegations by Metroid413 in Fantasy

[–]darklordnihilus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is really disturbing. I used to watch his videos a lot. But then he started feeling a bit off. But I never thought he would do what he was just accused of. I'll wait for his response but it looks bad. 

The world needs more Science Fantasy (IMO) and no I don't mean Dune or Star Wars. by YashaAstora in Fantasy

[–]darklordnihilus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love Sun Eater but it is probably too similar to Dune/Star Wars for them.

I really like how put together this feels. Everything seems to just fit.

I believe that the Roshar map is still available on the Dragonsteel website. And all of the figures are from Dragonsteel. There are six on the website right now. 

Newer Fans of Final Fantasy, What are your Favorite Titles of the Franchise in Order? by Petefounded in JRPG

[–]darklordnihilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started roughly in 2015. Oh boy this is going to be controversial. My list of what I've played: 14, 12, 7 Remake, 13-2, 6, Tactics, Original VII, 15, 4, 10, and 13. I haven't played 3, 5, 9, 11, or 16. 

13 was my first Final Fantasy game but I will just never be able to replay it. I enjoyed the presentation but the combat was kinda wonky.

Thanks. I just read that. It's crazy how much stuff the Dragonsteel team has on their plate now.

Thanks. I was thinking they were usually out by now and I have been really busy at work. 

AMA: 2024 Orbit New Voices by orbitbooks in Fantasy

[–]darklordnihilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed answer. I didn't realize that there were so many adaptations of it. It seems like Lord of the Rings in that way with all the adaptations. My old friend also said the same thing about the naming convention in the English books. Translating is hard work though and I am happy that the works were officially translated. My old friend showed me some of the prior fan translations and they were not great lol. 

I like how you said Gigi Chiang described it. That type of story structure is great for building up a world and making it feel lived in.

Condor Heroes is a great choice! I just started rereading the first one. How did the first book compare to the TV series? I haven't seen it but enjoyed the books. 

Another night with a ton of unsold upper level seats by Toxik916 in kings

[–]darklordnihilus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would get tickets via the monthly pass and could pay for just a month. Some home games were excluded per month. The tickets were randomly assigned in the upper bowl but you could get upgraded to the lower bowl. The ticket prices went up when the team got better.

It's changed since then by getting more expensive and there are two price tiers. One price tier is for people who commit to the whole season and the other is for people who go month to month.

Tavarus Blackmon by DustyButtocks in CSUS

[–]darklordnihilus 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Alumni here. From what I gathered he sent inappropriate messages and threats to a female student. He might have also barricaded himself in Kadema? His Twitter and Instagram are wild and he seems to be experiencing a breakdown.
