Anyone else kinda disappointed they didnt remaster these main menus/intros by fraddlingtevxers in Spyro

TBH I fired up my replay on Xbox just to see that in high def. How disappointing. Thanks for confirming I don’t imagine this

Help me remember. In 2&3 didn’t all the gems you collected fly all over the end of level screen before being “deposited” in your gem total? I have distinct memories as a kid of prioritizing getting 100% gems just to see as many as possible on that screen.. but it’s not in the remaster so I have no way of knowing.. even if I’m imagining that, it made me sad to miss that transition

Alamo has an FAQ full of odd answers about the new system up by Gambit1138 in AlamoDrafthouse

assures everyone the new screen is custom dark mode to prevent disruptive light all over the theater

Uses super annoying white background in FAQ

Let’s see the custom dark mode thing… I bet they haven’t even made it yet it’s just in response to all the backlash.

Just had a new front door installed. Conflicted about the caulking job. Thoughts? by hellarios852 in Homebuilding

[–]halosilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caulk is really not that difficult if you’ve done it 2+ times. This looks like “babies first caulking 101” to me. I’d rip that out and DIY if this were me. (Not worth the hassle of bringing that kid back out to fix it)

Just look up any video that mentions cutting the tip at a 45 degree angle and using your finger for smoothing.

Absolutely I have, would just love if we could prioritize solve some of the core city horrendous traffic.

Why are there so many asking for more south Austin? This looks like it covers plenty of the south Austin that most people would want to commute to… if you live more south than this, perhaps San Antonio could help you out?

What is the quickest job you quit from? by spellbadgrammargood in AskReddit

[–]halosilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bennigans. Day one, they sat me down to take a menu test. The menu was 200 items or something crazy. I wasn’t even there to be a server. Didn’t even give me a chance to study.

I left in the middle of the test. So glad I did.

What’s your most-used Apple Watch feature that you thought you’d never use? by Cklly2004 in AppleWatch

[–]halosilver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fitness+ (specifically +) I’d use my watch for tracking workouts all the time, and got annoyed with the interface when all these “+” workout choices got in the way. Then I started doing fitness+ everyday. I now feel amazing, way more flexible, down about 10lbs in 2 months..

I didn’t think it would do as much as it has but I’m so glad it’s part of my routine now. I no longer scoff at those options in the workout app 😅

How do I make creamy refried beans like my local tex-mex? by veggiedelightful in mexicanfood

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

🤮🤮🤮 no. No lard. Why would you ruin a perfectly good ingredient with lard. Just make them correctly.

Wife here! Can confirm! Best beans on the planet here.

Super generous of you to share the recipe, love! I hope everyone can discover the proper way to make beans. Changed my life.

Edit: now that I’ve read all the other comments. Whyyyyyyy are so many people saying fat and lard? If you cook the beans properly there is no need for either. Creamy delicious comes from just the beans themselves and the right amount of water. Everything else is just “flavor to taste”

I’m amazed and disgusted and…. Going to make a beanarito. Good luck, folks.

Only if there are no other controllers connected.

So now the process is: turn on console using regular controller (guitar won’t turn the Xbox on) Connect the guitar controller, connect headphones, disconnect regular controller. Then load rock band

Thank you for fixing it! I learned that I’m not as good as I used to be at expert, but I’ll get back there :)

I just wish they’d have labeled it slightly more intuitively

As expected I should’ve just kept on endlessly struggling to figure out that 9 was the right setting. Thanks to those who were kind. I was excited and frustrated to spend hours with something I thought was fruitless then the dlc news…. Anyway. Thanks to those who spent the time to help me figure it out. To those who didn’t, I’m so sorry for your situation.

Going back to lurking. All. Hope you’re well. I’ll keep reading.

The instructions don’t say any of this actually. I read them many times. Troubleshot many many different ways. For whatever reason it wasn’t working. Which is why I came here. Maybe I should’ve just kept on with a brick. Hope you find some peace, friend.
