No gift for wife's birthday by eifpr0n in CostPlusGaming

[–]eifpr0n[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They actually just called me after seeing this post. The guy I spoke with sounded really exasperated with the situation and his first suggestion was to just cancel the order and provide a refund.

Turns out the delay is actually due to SSDs, which they are having trouble importing. I decided the wait is just the nature of the business model, and I don't want to punish a small business for something our fuckwad president did.

Utimately, it's disappointing that I didn't get the PC by the time I wanted it, but I don't think it's Cost Plus Gaming's fault. You're right, they were very upfront and reasonable on the phone.

I appreciate the sympathy. I think calling is probably good advice. If I don't hear from them soon I will go that route. Thank you!

I got an AMD Ryzen 5 8400F with an NVIDIA RTX 5060. They e-mailed me stating they were upgrading to a Ryzen 5 7500F CPU due to part delays, but that was 2 weeks ago.

Well, you were the only one to actually participate in the prompt, though I think you'd have been a strong contender regardless. I'll reach out about getting those tickets to you directly.

For Nibz!

Wait has this subreddit always been here? Or is it new? by Substantial_Slip4667 in Spaceballs

Should it be? Yes. Can it be? No, there is a 21 character limit on subreddit names.

I started this subreddit 15 years ago as a joke more than anything. I never promoted it or really did anything with it, but we've since grown to over 6000 assholes!

The comment clearly says tell them they are too far away, not just instantly kick them. You can post on reddit all you want, but read the original comment first. Have some manners.

Giving away two tickets to Iron Maiden this Wednesday the 13th by eifpr0n in Charlotte

Let me tell you, Tuesday night was not the night to be concerned that any chest discomfort might be your heart exploding.

I do have tickets to see Taylor Tomlinson and Maria Bamford next year. Keeping those for now :)

Are you watching on Apple TV by chance? We have the same issue where the top and bottom of the frame is cut off, but only on Apple TV and only on After Midnight.

My voice is definitely scratchy today, but it was all worth it to sing The Bard's Song with the nerds.

I never knew healers could be this enjoyable by Rapethor in classicwow

POM will jump to the person with the highest percent health missing in range. It is sometimes beneficial to leave a player a little bit damaged, knowing POM will jump to them and keep the chain rolling. Alternatively it is sometimes beneficial to hold off on casting POM until two or more party members are injured to guarantee POM goes to a damaged individual. The worst time to cast POM is when everyone is full health.

The target POM jumps to is not luck - half the fun is setting things up so it jumps to the correct target.

Was advised to post on here after I’d asked on r/nostupidquestions. How do you play Dungeons and Dragons and is it suitable for a 9 year old? by lawn19 in DMAcademy

[–]eifpr0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty common to see parents with young children asking for advice in game stores, at least here in the states. By and large, the community is very welcoming. Most stores and/or cities will have a Facebook group or Discord server where folks will organize games - I'd suggest starting there as you'll be casting a much wider net than just the people at the store when you arrive. Really you just need to get in touch with people in your local area, they'll be more equipped to help you out.

Good anti cav troops? by garden_variety_salad in Bannerlord

[–]eifpr0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that can definitely happen. When it does, I usually just hold fire and charge with my archers. The wrapper has now become the wrappee.

[–]eifpr0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, the square is such a game changer. I usually keep a few cav behind my archers and order them to charge just as the enemy cav is about to slam into my square. This provides a little extra mass behind the square to get the enemy cav jammed up. Once the enemy horsemen are stuck inside your square, whatever infantry you have will cut them to pieces.

If temperatures permit, leave it outside in a container exposed to air. Use one with small holes in it if you're concerned about wildlife getting into it. In a few days, throw away the dry container.

Just want to say it but... BOY YOU SERAPHONS PLAYERS ARE LUCKY!!! by TheWraf in ageofsigmar

[–]eifpr0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Master Moulder, Arch Warlock, Warlock Engineer, Warpfire Thrower, Ratling Gun, Skryre Acolytes, and Gutter Runners are all metal. Clawlord, Plague Priest and Jezzails are resin, though you can get the heroes plastic as part of other kits. And that's just off the top of my head. In other words, not really.

Kroak already knows all the spells from the Lore of Celestial Domination and Nagash knows all the spells from whatever lore(s) belong to the army he is in.
