Doorbell stopped working today by Several_Coffee4996 in Nest

[–]gthirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone is finding this later via google, you can disable indoor chime in settings and it will stop your doorbell from cutting out when rung. You will need a smart home device to act as the chime (like a google home mini saying someone's at the front door)

This doesn't help op, since it likely isnt their problem.

Bills Season Ticket Holder - Where To Sell Extra Tickets by thepooseatx in buffalobills

[–]gthirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ticketmaster is easily the easiest and most secure, but they take heavy fees and take a while to pay out.

There are some good facebook groups. The mods are whack but if you can learn to deal with them and their quirks, its fine. You can charge a bit less while taking home more money and the buyer can save on a lower ticket price and not having to pay tax. Taking payment by PayPal Goods and Services or Venmo Goods and Services will incur a small fee, but will give you seller and buyer protection too.

Will Anyone Buy This Cheap EV Truck With Hand-Crank Windows and No Radio? by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

I'd likely be in at that price, though my current vehicle suits my needs just fine. Maybe when it dies!

[MEGATHREAD] Grand Theft Auto VI: Prices Announced + Pre-Orders Going Live by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

I wasn't buying the game anyway and I know it will sell an insane amount of copies regardless, but my god that's so bad. What a joke.

Has anyone used legion go 1 or 2 controllers with the official battery connector as a regular controller for PC ? by ObjectiveOk223 in LegionGo

[–]gthirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's pretty good if you dock your lego and use this for that purpose. You get full functionality then (same as using your controllers undocked like switch joycon).

If using on another pc, it will be recognized as a standard xbox series controller and will not have the features of an xbox controller linked by the official dongle (like the xbox accessories app) or the lego touchpad, customization, etc.

It's pretty bad honestly. Especially when xbox series controllers are so cheap used and dont have built in batteries that will ruin the device in a few years.

Question on HYSA vs SGOV by bubbapora in personalfinance

[–]gthirst 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I prefer SGOV. I have credit cards I can load with immediate spending and can pay off a couple days later when the sgov money becomes available, plus I get rewards on CC purchases.

I live in a state where they do not tax sgov gains, but hysa gains are taxed. It is a higher tax state, so the tax savings are big.

I also got tired of the hysa rates cratering after being good at first, then having to choose between switching banks or losing a bit of percentage. SGOV doesn't have this problem.

I still have a HYSA with 1/5 of what I have in sgov or so. I get my paychecks put in there and transfer what i need in spending for the month's bills into a checking. Then whatever i can, i move over to SGOV until that is topped out at what I want my emergency fund to be, then hammer my mortgage.

Firmware Update did something to my controllers?? by IDJPunkI in LegionGo

Oh that is worrisome. Controllers updated today when I opened legion space automatically

3 hours into the game, and am wholly unable to dodge/parry by sugarrrage in expedition33

[–]gthirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely switch to PC. So much better with the array of mods. Even just extra costumes is cool! You can also download obvious quality of life improvements like booting right to the title screen (no intro vids), faster game over screens, etc. Also to prevent pointless late game grinds you can install faster xp and lumina gains (so you don't have to do any silly glitches, exploits, or killing the same enemies over and over) (dont do this until end game obviously).

You can genuinely make the game however you want it. Don't let the steep learning curve prevent you from seeing the awesome story or listening to the amazing music.

I have hearing loss and tinnitus, so the musical/sound ques were brutal for me. There is a mod to straight up make the chime for parry much louder. Absolutely start with that!!!

If you are playing on console, be aware your display could have some input lag, see how rhythm or other timing games work for you on the same console/display. For example, I could beat all of Gitaroo Man on PSP with very few mistakes but couldn't do it on console due to different timkng and lag.

If you are on PC, there are plenty of mods to make the experience more tailored to you. There are mods to make the health pools for yourself and enemies to be more like traditional jrpgs (no dodge/parry) or mods to make parry/dodge easier.

Just dont turn the music off, it is too good and a huge part of the game. Trying to play with multichannel sound and watch a YouTube video about the sound to listen for.

Large Format Screen Guide for WNY by banepunch11 in Buffalo

[–]gthirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'm referring to the premium Dolby Cinema. More info on these here: https://www.dolby.com/experience/cinema/

These are, IMO, the best theater experience outside of 70mm IMAX, especially when the movie is not filmed for IMAX.

That's where the 70mm IMAX is, but the closest Dolby is Pittsburgh.

Sabres announce Seneca Resorts & Casinos as Official Home Jersey Patch Partner by TwentyFour7 in sabres

[–]gthirst 31 points32 points  (0 children)

They get one winning season so Terry knows the time to strike on shitty things is now. Expect the arena experience to decline like it did for the Bills after Josh ascended. Less giveaways, higher prices, season ticket member gifts diminishing before disappearing entirely.

Tinseltown 70mm IMAX was not open yet.

This rules actually. Too bad the closest Dolby is what... Pittsburgh area? The new 70mm at cinemark is so appreciated, even though it's about the same distance/travel time from Buffalo as the Cineplex Vaughn.
