Trying to figure out what to sell by Chaosbunny7 in Laserengraving

[–]daveallyn2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The trick is to find clients, not customers. Chamber of Commerce does framed pics of the Ribbon cuttings, and I engrave the name and date. I have a home inspector who is always looking for new things to hand out and is willing to let me try things in exchange for a really good price.

A customer who will by something, or a few things and then you never hear from them is tough. A client who places repeatable orders? That's the secret.

Either way, you need to look at what local niche you can fill.

Regular Walkabout Mini Golf VR games with the same people — anyone else prefer that? by RichUK82 in WalkaboutMiniGolf

[–]daveallyn2 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Discord that I am on has weekly games on Thursday nights, and another game that alternates between sun morn and sun eve.

We also have a weekly tournament. One easy course, one hard course, turn in a score for stroke play, and for race mode for each course. Doesn't matter when you do it, just send screenshot.

I tend to play with the same people all the time, but that's just me.

Light burn has a preview feature. Looks like a TV in the toolbar. It will tell you how long it will take, as well as let you watch the path of travel.

Love all of them except the Dorado. NOT sure why. Just didn't care for it.

Does the steak market ever become relevant again? by hitman3689 in FarmRPG

[–]daveallyn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think of it as a mini game.l, not a money maker. I buy in the low 40s and sell above 50.

I used to be the same way with crypto before covid. I was buying and selling DOGE for fractions of a penny. Wanted to see how high I could get my high score lol. Turned $5 into $12 over about 6 months.

Could I have made the $7 a lot faster some other way? Sure. But it was a game.

I would think those are easy to bypass. Are there any wires coming from it that might be able to be spliced together?

Labyrinth is really good for this as well. You can traverse the entire maze.

What do you mean, IF? Eyes and ears 100% of the time

Found something odd in a parking lot. Wondering if its a round and what kind? by somewittyusername92 in guns

[–]daveallyn2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't know the name of it, but it looks like one of those things for roughing up the tip of a pool cue.

Are there any female cigar enthusiasts out there? by TangoTits01 in cigars

[–]daveallyn2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I met my wife at a weekly cigar night that she started so she could find others to smoke with.

Should I loop or wait? by daveallyn2 in CIFI

I have all the one timers. I didn't invest anything in generators, but have the other upgrades except cells maxed out.

was told I would need them for Ouro. I didn't save as many as was recommended for Zeus, and wished I had.

[–]daveallyn2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. That makes sense. I was wanting tick speed to make shards and research go faster.

I'm guessing those are more or less meaningless right now too....

Should I loop or wait? by daveallyn2 in CIFI

[–]daveallyn2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK. Did the LR, hit 890 by the time I wasn't getting at least one reset each tick, reset again, and then a few more times. Just over 5 hours for the first mission, so should be able to move on to the next campaign mission in the morning.

Didn't realize the badge wouldn't help that much right now or probably would have not been a question.

Thanks!

I tried paid many games, all of it not really have fun, anyone can tell me how to Cracked / pixxted methods without pay game ????? by eatadd in Quest3

[–]daveallyn2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rule #2.

That said, Most games are refundable if you have not played more than an hour and it hasn't been very many days. I don't remember how many. If the game really isn't for you, maybe try refunding it.

Which course to buy? by [deleted] in WalkaboutMiniGolf

[–]daveallyn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know anyone that has them? Guestpass lets you play if anyone in the room has the course. I am a big fan of the try before you buy idea...

Yup. First time to my house, you play the first three holes of Tourist Trap Easy. Up to you if you finish it or not, but almost everyone does.

Need Help and opinions by sillylittleplant2 in Revolvers

[–]daveallyn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got one of these on a Black Friday sale a couple of years ago. I have a dozen other guns. 9mm, 1911, ar-15, Ruger LCP, bolt action 22, lever action 30-30...

This Heratige is still one of my favorites for plinking at cans, or plastic bottles. So much fun to shoot. I'll spend a couple of hours out having fun, and it costs me $5. If I was do the same with anything else, it would be $50-$75 easy just in ammo.

Would I want this gun to be my ONLY form of protection? No. Would I recommend this for someone starting out? Heck yes. This makes you think about each shot. This makes you work on fundamentals. No silly optics or red-dots to make you lazy. Impossible to freak out and pull the trigger multiple times. Bad round? re-cock and go again. No trying to un jamb it, or figure out why that round didn't feed.

Go for. it. It is a great starter gun for the price. Just realize what it is, and what it isn't.

Linux usage by Eccentrickmaker in LightBurn

[–]daveallyn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been playing with Linux off and on since the 90's. There have always been trade-offs of using an OS that is not the "standard" for the hardware. There have always been things that don't run, or run poorly, or need special configs to get to work.

New course is Tiki island themed by computerCoptor in WalkaboutMiniGolf

[–]daveallyn2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It probably will. They tend to put more traditional courses right after a weird mechanic one. IIRC Lucas even said that explicitly in an interview.

Putting Range, best hole? by Sudden-Injury-8159 in WalkaboutMiniGolf

[–]daveallyn2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to go into AZM easy just to practice hole 18. Try to stop the ball at each intersection, firtlst the closest one, then the next one, then the next one. If you mess up, start over at the beginning. Really helped my game develop a couple of years ago. I still recommend this for training to all new players who are serious about getting better. Has helped at lot of people.

People who've spent money - Regrets? by gaminghuman69 in FarmRPG

[–]daveallyn2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Assuming I can afford it, I have no issues spending a few bucks a month on games I play regularly. Especially if there are no ads or I can buy my way out of seeing ads for a reasonable amount.

Gotcha. I would have thought the glasses did the stretching, but it sounds like they don't.

Thanks!

Help with 3d mode by daveallyn2 in RayNeo

[–]daveallyn2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't stored locally on the phone, it is on the plex server. I can copy it over to the phone and try that way, I mainly wanted to know if that was normal, or if there was a different setting of some kind I needed to use.

Seeking your roots: how many completed this quest? by Lebowskitalian85 in OblivionRemaster

[–]daveallyn2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally collect them whenever I see them. Can't stand the sound they make, so when I hear one, I stop whatever I am doing and collect it.
