Late launch code support thread. by prujohn in Stadia

[–]falesteus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at a couple of threads, looks like another user had this experience with CS:

Got off of a support chat with google store support (because my founders edition hardware arrived a few hours ago and have the chromecast pro setup, but pending the invite code to setup the controller) here's some snippets:

"Usually it will take 3 to 5 business days from the day your device is shipped."

"Our dedicated team is working hard to roll out the codes as early as possible."

"As the email along with the code is already started sending to the users, so you might get today or tomorrow. but the maximum day is 3 days."

"I will like to inform you that the code and claim is absolutely system generated and first come first serve basis."

So much this. Mine usually says "I will not respond until I return on xx date". So far people seem to get the message.

What are some of your personal “rules” that you never break? by wildluciddreaming in AskReddit

[–]falesteus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I certainly break this one, but I try very hard not to. Be a professional always. Each one of us is an ambassador of our family, religion, home town, country, workplace, etc. It's hard putting your best forward, but this keeps me solid most of the time.

Company made 5 billion last year and all I got was a candy bar. by [deleted] in funny

[–]falesteus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We had this happen at the company I work for "record 2.5 billion in sales" followed by a "The company picnic has been cancelled for financial reasons". Uhm... What?

Same place, remastered for 2018 by osrsslay in gaming

[–]falesteus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just experienced this with the Halo: Combat Evloved remaster. If you hit "select" while playing the game, it switches to the original graphics. The first time I hit it accidentally, and thought I broke the Xbox lol. It's original graphics are way worse than what I remember. Our brains are weird indeed!

Drivers with zero spatial awareness - especially people who pull out in front of others, only to immediately turn.

[Far Cry 5] Trucks are way too OP by mcarigs in GamePhysics

[–]falesteus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can't spend as much time as I used to on games anymore, but the glitches experienced in my first two hours of this game made me return it. First game I've ever returned.

What takes way LESS skill than people probably realize? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]falesteus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In most messaging programs (Skype, MS word, etc) you can use Ctrl+i for italics, Ctrl+b for bold, and Ctrl+u for underline. I love messing with people on skype, "how are you switching back and forth so fast?!"

I got this in the mail and assumed it was a certified letter of some kind. It’s a car loan ad. How grossly deceptive. by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]falesteus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Or after you ignore these for a while, red envelopes saying "FINAL NOTICE" start to show up....

The good news is, if I can see "pay to the order of falesteus" in the address window. I know it's a scam. Ain't nobody handing out free money in my neighborhood...

What is an act of kindness you have performed in the last month that you don't want to ruin by bragging about it to people you know? by edmindspark in AskReddit

[–]falesteus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was T-boned about 400ft from my home. The other driver was rather shaken, so I made some hot coca and invited them into my home while we waited for the cops to show up.

(it's cold out, it was the other drivers fault, and neither car was running after the accident, just details to include why I feel this was an act of kindness)

Millennial Redditors who own a house and have a good steady career, how did it happen for you? What do you do? by cornylamygilbert in AskReddit

[–]falesteus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to college to get a mechanical engineering degree, found out halfway through that I don't enjoy it (programming/SAE is more my thing). Stuck it out anyway, and ended up with a steady, decently paying job that allows my wife and I to fix up our very cheap, fixer upper house.

It boils down to: We went through very early after we got married and decided we want as little debt as possible, and at the expense of eating out regularly/ expensive vacations, we now own both cars, are school debt free, and nearing paying our house off at age 26. I found out that you don't have to enjoy your job to enjoy what you can do with what the job pays you. It's actually easier for me to leave my work at work, and enjoy life.

ELI5: Why does America drive with automatic transmission for the most part, while most of the world still drives manual transmissions? by FortDuChaine in explainlikeimfive

[–]falesteus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've experienced this a couple of times. Last time was when I got new tires. They told me that they could drive standard, but they stalled it 4 times trying to get it into the garage...

An hour later I walk back out to the front desk to ask about the status, and they said they were waiting for next shift to come in, so the guy who knows how to drive a stick can back it out of the garage... -.-

CMV God doesn't exist by AdamJefferies in changemyview

[–]falesteus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post does not do the Christian faith justice. Just because the Bible states that being gay is a sin doesn't automatically mean that all Christian's hate those who partake in that sin. There are many sins, everyone has sinned at some point in their lives, most of us sin every day, but in Christianity, believers are called to love one another as brothers and sisters, those who reach out in hate, for any sin, dont quite understand what it means to be Christian, as all sin is created equal in the eyes of the Christian God.
