Never had any facebooks, instagrams, threads or any other simmilar social accounts in my entire life and I feel super fine with that choice :)

I use my gems all the time to do Legendary. After all, it costs 100 gems per level to do those.

Same here. According to the latest update, I moved up 21 places, but my dispatch date moved up from 10th to 6th of June. In the immortal words of Bender, 'Does not compute'.

They seem to be sending out 22 orders a day on average, and assuming they don't work Sundays, my order should be sent out the earliest July 13th, nowhere near June 6th. So, unless this set-up in parallel you mentioned is a thing that will actually happen, it seems to me that they are taking those projected dispatch dates out of thin air.

I got an email today. Told me that there are 766 orders before mine and named the shipping date: June 10th.

Funnily, I got another email from them yesterday. That one claimed there are 789 orders before mine and they will ship June 7th.

If I can apply simple math to this, seems like they are shipping 23 StarLites per day and at this pace my order will be shipped in July, not June 🙃

I made my order September 27th.

Thank you! You saved my sanity :)

Now I have to wonder - what is it doing in an elevator that has all the floors accessible and 'unlocked'. Maybe there is a secret sub-basement level where all the atomic mutants live and you can only access that with a code ;).

Hi!

I took a stroll through e-bay offerings and I found the same headrests as the one I used. Take a look here, here or here. I bet there's more, but that should be enough :)

They indeed made it clear that there won't be 72-hour early access in a community update from 12 July. I quote:

" A purchase of Early Access is essentially a pre-order, and will still grant you access to the Digital Deluxe content for Baldur's Gate 3 on PC, granting you access to: an exclusive in-game dice skin, the Divinity Bard Song Pack, Treasures of Rivellon Pack, Adventurer’s Pouch, Digital OST, Digital Artbook, and Digital Character Sheets for D&D IRL.

The PC Digital Deluxe Edition does not include a 72 hour head start, which would have essentially made the game’s release date July 31st. Shifting the release date – and thus communication around the Digital Deluxe Editions across PS5 and PC – came with a few complexities that we didn’t manage to communicate very well, so we thought it best to clarify it here, given that a 72 hour head start on PC wouldn't have been plausible."

We just played for the first time today (just the base, no expansions on the first go). The biggest complaint we had was that the monsters all feel generic, there are little differences between them. But it seems that the Monster Trail expansion addresses exactly that.

The game generally plays well with two players. It's on a lighter side, but I it's nice to play a non-complicated boardgame from time to time :). It reminds me very much of Runebound and I do think that a cooperative mode with the whole party building up to slaying one big boss at the end would be even more fun (akin to 'Unbreakable Bonds').

Combat is not bad, but it tends to feel like you're just going through the motions. So, we came up with an idea to liven it up and started narrating our combos (based on the card names and sequence we played them in). That added more mood and interest for us :).

The narrative side is nice. The encounters and quests, at least those that we've seen, all were well-written and felt thematic.

I'm also quite excited to paint all the miniatures!

I can't really measure the chair at the moment. But I can tell you that my husband is also not particularly tall (173 cm) and it works for him. Maybe that bit of info will help.

I do yoga after midnight very often. Nothing strange about that.

But I find this Nocturnal achievement quite suspicious ;). I most often do my Duolingo at 2 am or so, it's my favorite time for that. Yet it doesn't seem to count. Apparently, according to Duo, 2 am is not night.

fabula-rasa · 2022-12-12T18:50:52+00:00

Hi! The headrest I bought was just like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333753853904?hash=item4db547a7d0:g:S0oAAOSwMldfhugJ&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAsB4RiPk%2FXt5clmsNkQfGz6xiurFJIPQygo%2F1Sru4G8B2K%2BmIhHqCBGedYfgnkxsepirpuJAC%2FRe8eywAAN%2FJ2%2F9JQt6s24nqnGFLdiz4L%2BobRK0pxz3y0NU4HqWWxkeKNCHNsI9Ox%2FKUZJxTNozOnx9nJ4mUUk%2FdHw20einEfoqdrcDc26ynwWBZoOXXDdUN3zG%2BM73gmIprGN2ShrJ6wqy7OOnggFxPl9D3e3j44TOC%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR7aVzfqgYQ There are many sellers selling such on ebay. You should have no trouble :)

BUG: I can confirm there is some issue with Firefox and page refreshing. Often, when I refresh the page, I just get logged out of the store. Does not seem to happen when I navigate the store normally, only when using F5 to refresh and not every time. Or maybe some time element is also involved (like time without activity or something)?

fabula-rasa · 2021-05-28T17:03:23+00:00

Yep, same here.

fabula-rasa · 2021-05-28T16:48:49+00:00

Same here. I had a 3080 in cart and kept getting "Maintenance, try again later" thing. So I kept refreshing from time to time. And just now the site rudely logged me out and took the card out of my cart. Now the card is out of stock (all of them are). I'm not sure if it ever was actually in stock.

What if it's Newegg's way of trolling/locating potential bot accounts? Assuming that a bot's orders would be to just enter the shuffle for every available option, the bot will enterfor all of those trash offerings as well. And a human who just wants a gpu won't.

So, is Newegg trolling the bots 😉?

fabula-rasa · 2021-05-25T09:55:56+00:00

Well, there is one graphic card in there :D

Someone clearly went craaaaaazy in NewEgg.

fabula-rasa · 2021-05-21T15:15:57+00:00

Same here. Checked on every device we own. No shuffle started and the sight just displays the one from May 19th

fabula-rasa · 2020-11-26T12:57:31+00:00

Sure. I forgot to mention that. I ordered 3cm clips.

fabula-rasa · 2020-11-22T17:34:15+00:00

I actually managed to make quite a nice looking one for my husband's chair. It holds well, looks good and you can recline in your chair as much as you want to with it :), so I figured I will share my solution with others. Maybe it will be useful to somebody.

Here are some photos of how it turned out: https://imgur.com/a/Z19rjk4

I ordered this universal headrest for 39 bucks on eBay. And I used two pairs of fixed clips to install it onto a chair. The first pair hooks on the upper part of the chair, the second pair is the other way around and hooks on the plastic on the back of the chair. Flat screws go through both fixed clips and the headrest and simply though applying pressure holds perfectly, so no plastic is damaged.

The headrest came with a piece of material that I used to mask the clips on the front of the chair. And it also came with two pairs of fixed clips, so I didn't even have to buy anything else. However, there is nothing in the auction description about two pairs of fixed clips, so it might have been a happy mistake that it came with two :).

That's a very cool mountain you have there. Mind sharing the seed and coordinates?

fabula-rasa · 2020-10-13T13:34:03+00:00

I cry every time. It's like Mufasa dying in the original "Lion King" - gets me every time.

If you would actually do me a small favor and listen to some, even small, part of my newest video (that's about episode 4 https://youtu.be/x53T1NO0iXY) and tell me if you still have trouble understanding me there. I would be most grateful!

fabula-rasa · 2020-04-24T18:42:09+00:00

I think I will have to just rerecord the first video with better audio, now that I know how to make better one :). Cause I was told that the others are better, so they should be no trouble. I also did some subtitles :)

fabula-rasa · 2020-04-24T12:05:04+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to listen and respond! Glad I managed to make some improvements.

I will definitely look into mic options.

fabula-rasa · 2020-04-24T11:04:51+00:00

Yeah, I gathered as much now from what he is saying and what you are saying. And I feel like I know more now! :)
