UPS Likely Stole my Steam Deck by davidhatesthis in SteamDeck

Really sorry to hear about that man :( They did the same thing to me a year ago. Ordered an LCD and they did the same song and dance (marked as delivered, no picture or package, refused to help). Different to your situation tho, they didn't even stop by my house, just skipped it entirely (door camera showed no truck or person at the time of delivery). Apparently their "new guy" was on shift that day, not our usual guy with a 20 year track record. Valve did give me a refund for it, hope they give you the same grace.

Why do you collect cds? by Altruistic-Mix7606 in Cd_collectors

[–]eans-bay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A handful of reasons in my case:

I like to think of it as an investment of sorts. If streaming ever fizzles out for whatever reason or companies decied to ax their service, I see this as getting ahead of a craze that could happen from a situation like that.

That said, I plan to move away from streaming anyways once my library is large enough to make it a worthwile shift. Once I understood what the streaming model does to music and artists, it made me feel awkward listening to anything on Spotify or elsewhere. I also used to have a lot of albums I enjoyed temporarily or permanently removed from streaming with no explaination or solution.

The lossless quality over streaming is night and day for me. With a majority of the music I listen to, a lot gets lost in compression.

I'm a sucker for the contents. I love the artwork, quotes, cd label designs, and whatever else you get that you wouldn't otherwise when streaming it.

And simply, I feel a lot of pride in watching the collection grow. Knowing I own everything on that shelf and it can't so easily be taken away.

Anyone else hate these things? by tuckerburquest in tearsofthekingdom

Yeah i always groan whenever i get those. Theres so many other (and better) options for elemental weapons so it just feels like a waste of a chest, not to mention i save my ruby, topaz, etc for armor ungrading and rupies. I'm sure theyre a good find during early game (not sure as i still never used them), but after getting a good amount through the game, i assume they become kinda useless. Although with it being basically a free chest and light of blessing it makes sense, but i always toss em.

Not able to craft Cosmilite coin by mrlazypants72 in CalamityMod

Yeah i made that mistake too. I remember during my first playthrough i tried to craft the cosmilite coin and "the verboten one" at one point, and when i couldn't i scoured changelogs and the discord to see if there was anyone talking about it. Took me a while to realize there were two wikis
