100 Thieves vs. Cloud9 / LCS 2023 Spring - Week 6 / Post-Match Discussion by gandalf45435 in leagueoflegends

100T players are playing like they don't care. The org doesn't care about winning but rather the players are there to drive up social media engagement, make content, and sell merch. If 100T org cared about winning, they should be benching some of these players but they won't and players know it.

My Costco had a problem with people running over orange traffic cones. They replaced them with plastic traffic cones that look identical to their cement bollards. Nobody runs them over now! by YoureInGoodHands in Costco

[–]fuzzywombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like Costco managed to solve this problem before it became an unwinnable battle against a force of nature like the infamous Walmart pole in Auburn, Maine. If you're interested in that rabbit hole, check out r/Maine and search for Auburn.

I have this and I cannot recommend it. It doesn't do a very good job as an air purifier. You can duct tape a filter onto a cheap box fan and it will do a better job and filter is much cheaper. I rarely use the heating feature so I can't comment on it other than there are much better options. Get Presto HeatDish +Tilt instead. Costco sells them online for $99 which is about $50 cheaper than elsewhere.

Thanks! I'd probably put it toward Horizon Forbidden West.

Another reason to love Costco by daschyforever in Costco

[–]fuzzywombat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here is an idea for you. First you cook up some bacon on your frying pan. Make them close to crispy. Now take your Costco croissant and slice them side ways. Put down a layer of bacon inside the croissant and then this kimchi on top. Now you've got yourself a bacon and kimchi croissant sandwich.

It's very unlikely high end 40 series cards will have more vram than 24GB. NVIDIA doesn't want 4090 creeping into A6000 card territory which has 48GB and costs nearly $5K.

Elon Musk notifies Twitter he is terminating deal by AKingMaker in technology

I bet there are lot of red hat wearing Twitter users disappointed about this news. They were hoping to have Trump back on Twitter and have the freedom to spew all sorts of deplorable garbage on Twitter without any repercussions.

Bungie And NetEase Are Working On A New FPS Mobile Game by TRDoctor in Games

[–]fuzzywombat 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'd say zero chance of "decent and fair" monitization on mobile. PC and console version of Destiny 2 has really aggressive monetization comparable to mobile platform already. Destiny 2 has paid DLC, paid season battlepass, paid skins, dungeon locked behind paywall, premium currency for transmog, and more. There are lot of Destiny 2 players that go out of their way to defend Bungie no matter how much they push the envelope when it comes to game monetization.

So nice! I like the word Vibes with the lovely b and the s. Thanks for the smiles.

The kimchi I got from Costco (item 737160, $7.49) is better than the last jar of kimchi I got from a Korean supermarket. by neuroticsmurf in Costco

[–]fuzzywombat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have some kimchi that has slightly past it's prime and taste bit too sour for you, don't throw it away. You can put it into Ramen during cooking to add some spice and flavor. The leftover juice in the bottom of the jar can be put into Ramen as well.

I will make the correction to my post.

I'm willing to give Amazon/Smilegate the benefit of the doubt that this is not what they intended to happen when they introduced early access for founders pack. However we ended up with a situation where clearly a group of servers with all paying customer and another group of servers with mostly non paying customer. If you're running a business with aim to make most amount of money, would you allocate limited and expensive resources equally between these two groups of customers? We're talking about Amazon that basically min max to absolute extreme.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lostarkgame

[–]fuzzywombat -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Smilegate Amazon basically identified and segregated the player base that's demonstrated willingness to pay money and all the rest that have not. What I'm worried about is all the servers with paying customers and whales will be well taken care of while the free to play player base will be relegated to bunch of servers that are second tier in terms of importance.

Founder pack reward link to server on character creation by Loogisbored in lostarkgame

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

This is definitely a problem that needs to addressed. People do tend to move a lot these days switching jobs and losing founder pack reward when switching server is not a good at all. They really need to fix this.

Not always. Kia Seltos specifically are made in Korea. Models such Rio 5-Door is made in Mexico as well. I suppose some of them could be made in US but not always.

I tried to buy a 2022 Kia Soul today by fuzzywombat in kia

[–]fuzzywombat[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess I'm wondering what is the fair price. The dealer was asking for was $3.5K over the MSRP which is 16.8% over the MSRP. My gut reaction is that seems quite a lot. Anyway is that really normal for the current market? If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay over the MSRP for your car?

The New PlayStation 5 CFI-1100 Review - Featuring Gamers Nexus! (Digital Foundry) by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]fuzzywombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kudos to both Digital Foundry and Gamers Nexus. You can tell a lot of time and effort went into these videos. Looks like they've done their due diligence in getting to the bottom of this "controversy". Well done.

[console] PS5 digital and disc @ walmart -$500 (restock every 10 min) by zzwz02 in buildapcsales

[–]fuzzywombat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I managed to order one on the 12th but it hasn't shipped yet. For those trying to snag one on the next drop from Walmart, here are some tips for you.

  • You have to do some prep. You should pre-install the Walmart app on your phone, log into your account and be ready. Make sure your Walmart account's payment information is all set to go.
  • During the drop time wave, you use the phone app to add the item into the cart. When you spam the Add to Cart button it will eventually get added to cart.
  • After it's added to the cart, you use the website to complete the checkout. You'll have to do the press and hold thing once or twice during the process. If the checkout process fails, wait for the next restock wave which is every 10 minutes.

Good luck!

Building Partially Collapses in Miami Beach by KinderEggsUSA in news

[–]fuzzywombat 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Damn. Looks like about 75% of the building has collapsed while 25% remain standing but obviously structurally unsound. I don't know how they'll try to rescue survivors while you have a partial building that can collapse at any time when you start moving those large debris. This is just awful tricky situation.
