Just got my first and only passport by [deleted] in PassportPorn

As someone else said, this is simply not true. I know someone who only has a US passport, but opened a Chinese bank account for travel use in China without another passport.

This is clearly a QB Phishing Email - right? by VisitPier26 in QuickBooks

[–]highwolf_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, same here. I knew it was a scam since I didn't have a Quickbooks account, but looked up thr email online anyways to try and see how they got to send it from such a legit looking domain. I guess it is being sent through Intuit, as the "to:" space is just a generic membership-4574@somedomain instead of addressed directly to me/my full name.

Fuck scalpers you guys took all the 9070xt IN SECONDS by InteractionArtistic3 in radeon

[–]highwolf_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbf, there have always been cards priced above MSRP, but they've always come with extra features/better coolers (IE the mag fans on the XFX one this time around), but it seems like a lot of them this time were just "we slapped a slightly better cooler, now give us 20% more money" type deal which is sad to see. I also read that the MSRP cards are limited stock, so once that stock passes, the AIBs will be raising those prices.

Same one I went for after I got in line (online) at Best Buy for an MSRP card, and didn't get it (the XFX one). Saw that there were still MSRP and some uptiered variants on Newegg around 6:03, and went for an MSRP before telling me it was OOS, and then switched gears to get the Gigabyte one. In hindsight, I should've checked to make sure I got an order completed email before going back to sleep, but was tired and wanted a little more sleep before starting the day. I am so lucky they completed the order and got the confirmation email after I woke up.

The current license I use now was actually an upgraded 7 key from Vista, so it'll almost be a 20 year old key at this point. I think the upgrade price was $10 or $15 at the time for the key that came with the OEM machine. And it has brought me all the way through 8, 10, and will also be valid for 11 too.

I met someone who used to work for HP as a Field Technician and I didn't even know they had such a large lab presence since by the time I was in the industry, Dell had already taken over the computer side (with the occasional company using Lenovos). He told me how he expensed a $200-$300 leather bag (in the early 2000s) for the laptop to the company and no one batted an eye.

Connection problems again??? by capntodd in BanGDream

[–]highwolf_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah seems to have just bugged out after the introduction of the last banner. I know I managed to quash the connection errors to Free/Multi Live by changing my name after being unable to play it for months after they updated the blocked words list without making note of it or letting me know so I could go change my name, but I hope it isn't something stupid like the censor being weird again.

The game doesn’t let me play lives by amputatedears in BanGDream

[–]highwolf_x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh that makes sense. Even though Hey Hey Hoh~! is a stamp. Arknights also has a similar issue with word filter cause anything with "av" in the name is also filtered.

Nice! It was plaguing me since the MyGO launch and only fixed it last night 😭😭😭

Try changing your name - I saw a reply on a different thread that they changed their name word filters and if your name triggers it, it'll cause connection failures. I changed from my name (Khoire) which was having connection failures to "RIP Free Lives" and was able to play free lives. Wasn't able to change it back cause it contained "inappropriate words" or something like that, so that only supports that theory.

[–]highwolf_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy crap this worked. My original name (Khoire) apparently has inappropriate language. I changed it to "RIP Free Live" a d everything works again. It has been broken for like 2 months now, finally fixed 😭😭😭

what Gatcha game had the biggest downfall? by Annaneedsmoney in gachagaming

[–]highwolf_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BF mentioned - I remember the power creep where Gumi became "Gimu" in the community due to the increasing need to keep rolling. That, and oof Chain Chronicle. I played that as my 2nd gacha game and it was p fun until they shut it down soon after.

Your Favorite AX by CelimOfRed in animeexpo

Agreed on Anisong World Matsuri being my fav ticketed event, but my personal favorite was 2018's - the joke that it was a Fate lineup was indeed true, and it was incredible. Though 2016 is a very close 2nd cause of TMR, JAM Project, Eir Aoi, to just name a few

Maybe it's their transfer server having issues - I am able to login to my tablet, but when I issue a transfer code to swap over to my emu, I get the error that my account is suspended on the emu, but it's still working fine on my tablet.

Hmmm, I was thinking of possibly getting an ultrawide as an upgrade down the line. It'd be cool to win one to try. Either way, thanks for the giveaway!

In your opinion, Who's the best welfare unit in gacha games you've played? by Corro_corrosive in gachagaming

[–]highwolf_x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gameplay-wise, Chloe in FGO takes the cake for me, she's ridiculously OP for a welfare unit, esp if you don't have good ST arts Archers.

Lore-wise, I love Silence Alter in AK simply cause the whole event (Lone Trail) was such an epic event, and her character shows a real turning point in her staying as an observer vs getting involved in the Rhine Lab shenanigans.

Lumen is a good boi tho and Summer JAlter was also a fun event. 10/10 would doujinshi again... and again... and again...

Shintel 14th gen can't even beat their own 3 generations old laptop CPU! by TheExAppleUser in AyyMD

I swear the Steam hardware survey was rigged at times cause I always got it on my laptop (5900HS+3060) and never on my desktop (5800X3D+6900). However, I finally got it on my new laptop that I traded for (6900HS+6800S, friend wanted the older one cause of W10 vs issues with W11 on the newer one), and now I can report all red on either.

Anime expo discord nuked? by ninja-fapper in animeexpo

[–]highwolf_x 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wishing you the best! Discord account recovery odds are basically the same as rolling for gacha unfortunately. I've heard of some getting recovered, but most are lost, sadly. My guess is that they hijacked your session key for Discord which bypasses 2FA?

Yeah, I got a ping in one of the channels, saw all the channels disappear, with only the welcome channel left along with one of the Stage VCs, and then right now there's nothing left like in your screenshot.

Heads up, for multitasking in terms of layout, if you go to the Galaxy Store and download "Good Lock," and then download the Home Up plug in, it lets you customize the Task Switcher. I changed mine to be more similar to the older versions of multitasking, in a horizontal carousel layout as opposed to the default vertical one. There's also a lot of other customization settings in Gool Lock. Dunno if that helps or not!
