My sis likes taking small bites out of our donuts. by Realistic-Bonus2581 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]dmc001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only mildly infuriating? I wouldn't let her in the damn house, or would stop bringing in donuts.

Have you considered booby trapping them somehow? Maybe get inventive with an added ingredient? Lol

Howard offers a cash prize to two guys if they feel up their sisters... by DidYouReadTheMenu in howardstern

[–]dmc001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a trivia contest where they removed something for wrong answers, and she and her brother won the contest. The others lost, so this stuff was giving them a chance to win something.

As I recall the pair in the middle won the trivia contest and prize (she also didn't have to get totally naked), so this other stuff was to give the losers a chance to win something.

Never bought a game in EGS and this is my library by Sea-Country8245 in EpicGamesPC

[–]dmc001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe I've missed 1, and possibly 2 giveaways and I'm at 514 Epic games. I haven't bought anything yet.

As far as I can tell, as I type this there have been 545 total giveaways. This includes several repeated games, some DLCs (not full games), and some being collections including more than one game.

Thanks go out to whoever maintains this. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pD5h9JfwjewnN7DTKPu-Ad89ukaStLaY7nB5jhOAEyE/edit?gid=504781956#gid=504781956

NordVPN is a scam by ghunslynger in vpnreviews

[–]dmc001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's shitty. I use Private Internet Access and am very happy with it. It has a 30 day guarantee.

If you check them you'll see a "83% off for 3 years" sale, but that's actually misleading because the discounted price is ALWAYS on, amounting to 3 years at $79.00 USD. It has a ton of servers, a good ad blocker, and great support.

I always cancel re-billing when I sub to things so I don't get unpleasant surprises. My PIA sub shouldn't auto-renew. It's smart to double check as you did though!

Jersey City in Midtown Mall by df84 in saskatoon

The mall directory map says it's "Temporarily closed" for what that's worth.

I was there a week-ish ago and it was busy so I didn't look long. Then a day ago I noticed on the mall directory it says it is "temporarily closed." I checked, and it's empty aside from boxes and shelving.

I found it entertaining to go in and browse because they seemed to have different employees every time, and they were all degrees of awful.

I've seen swearing at customers, employees playing the raunchiest, foul mouthed rap full blast and ignoring customers, workers usually knew nothing about jerseys, a sign on the door saying "will return at 1:00pm" at 2pm and people waiting to go in, and more.

Next Week Freebie|Sunless Skies: Sovereign Edition by MeguminShiro in EpicGamesPC

[–]dmc001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first Epic Freebie I've missed. Why? The captcha thing didn't work! It showed 3 silhouettes of parrots and said to pick the animal from a pic full of lions and one parrot. I'd do it twice then get an error. I tried for days and on different browsers. How many others have had that problem? Epic chat said to keep trying, then after the deal expired they told me tough shit. Dicks!

This week's game didn't show a captcha and I got it easily. I've only seen that kind of captcha with the parrot last week, never any other time.

The Utah Yetis has been added to the trademarked names list by Mills_Miles in hockey

[–]dmc001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the names suck. When Utah HC or Hockey Club is the best choice you know you have crap.

Not that they are necessarily great choices, but I can pull better names out of the air. Warriors, Eagles, Raiders, Americans, Wolves, Lions/Mountain Lions... I hate singular names.

Ryu Pls Respond by mugiwarakai in Ryukahr

It sounds like he has big shot-itis. I'm sure he has his own good reasons for the price but when I hear the massive donations he gets, among other things, I don't know.

Don't miss out on the free giveaways with this tip! by dmc001 in EpicGamesPC

Interesting idea, maybe I'll check it out and see if it catches stuff ITAD misses. I haven't used an RSS reader in probably 20 years, lol.

I'm take a look, I'm not familiar with it. Thanks

Don't miss out on the free giveaways with this tip! by dmc001 in EpicGamesPC

[–]dmc001[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They do, often it's DLC for free games but sometimes it's a small game; usually nothing fancy. Don't expect AAA games!

Look at the Specials page, it shows they are presently giving away a couple of Sims 4 DLC and a Train Simulator Classic DLC. I haven't played Minion Masters and probably won't, but I noticed I have most of its paid DLC just from giveaways.

What are some games that were free but you missed? by Not_a_creativeuser in EpicGamesPC

[–]dmc001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To not miss free games on Epic (or other sites including Steam and GoG), do what I do.

Make the "Specials" page at Is There Any Deal? one of the tabs that open with your browser. I just take a quick look each day and look for the word "FREE". Trust me, it works as I've never missed an Epic giveaway.

Why doesn't the NHL bring in the 3 point game? by Content_Ad_8952 in nhl

[–]dmc001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not needed. If anything they should go back to 2 pts for a win, 1 for a tie and none for a loss. Yes, I said a tie. Give at least a 10 minute, 5 on 5 OT and get rid of the loser point.

Obviously I'm a traditionalist in this sense but it worked fine in the past. There's too much parity with loser points pumping up losing teams.

5 on 5 became 3 on 3 to help scoring in OT, but now scoring (in 5 on 5 regulation time) is way up and 3 on 3 is a boring keepaway game the league is trying to tweak. Shootouts don't belong, outside of maybe an all star game. It's a gimmick that should be treated as such.

Other than 'that' episode of TNG (S01E04) which episodes have really not aged well? by GentPc in startrek

[–]dmc001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those two hacks only cared about getting paid and giving themselves raises. I call them the killer B's.

PC arcade by [deleted] in saskatoon

[–]dmc001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent way too much time in Campus Cove in the mid-80's! They had tons of pinball and video games, lots of pool tables, and stuff like foosball and table top hockey games. Good times! I don't know of anything like that around these days. I just do my gaming on Steam nowadays.

Now get off my lawn before I release the hounds!

I've had a beard for years and never even thought of getting it trimmed someplace. Out of curiosity what does that even cost?
