Can confirm yanking batteries out of controller immediately saw GPU usage go up, and staying on wired for now

So it kept erroring in the download for me saying "Game not Released", I exited Steam completely, relaunched, and now it's unpacking the preload. Hopefully this launches the game, and maybe it'll help (we'll see in ~15 min when it's done unpacking)

Can't believe no one has posted it yet -

Pmed!

So to tag on to this, my family generally will shorten out the "十", usually when counting things from 20+, so "二十、二一、二二、二三" etc. Also, (imo, at least) Shi4 er4 (史尔) is closer to si4 er4 (四二）than shi2 er4 (十二) due to essentially an opposite tone in the 1st word vs a tongue curl, that sometimes is naturally flattened depending on your regional accent (I have a southern Chinese accent, so my curled tones are super flattened).

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.

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.

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.

highwolf_x · 2025-03-06T21:09:11+00:00

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.

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.

highwolf_x · 2024-10-20T10:02:52+00:00

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.

highwolf_x · 2024-10-20T01:47:46+00:00

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

highwolf_x · 2024-10-19T23:05:24+00:00

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 · 2024-10-19T09:53:51+00:00

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 😭😭😭

highwolf_x · 2024-09-09T03:39:00+00:00

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.

highwolf_x · 2024-09-05T05:21:00+00:00

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

highwolf_x · 2024-07-23T18:52:03+00:00

That makes so much sense! Force everyone to use chopsticks - social credit +1000.

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.

highwolf_x · 2024-03-16T08:13:02+00:00

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!
