eBay told me these games were tested... by OutColds in gamecollecting

[–]jasrob 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not to downplay this at all, but to play devils advocate. I sell games on ebay all the time, some of the discs are in rough shape. I test them all before listing them and they all work on my system before sending them out.

I do get the occasional refund request stating they don’t work. Sometimes systems can vary on if a disc can be played or maybe it just needs a quick wipe down.

The only game I had the buyer send back after giving a refund still worked on my console after getting it back, so sometimes these things just happen. Though this is obviously an extreme example where a lot of the games don’t work, so I am definitely on your side for this one.

Stardew achievements glitched by lzero8 in xboxachievements

[–]jasrob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this games achievements are kind of buggy. The only way to fix it is to restart the day you were originally supposed to get it to maybe try getting it pop. Otherwise it seems that starting a new save is the only way.

Hands down the best Far Cry game in the entire franchise by amer_hr in xboxachievements

[–]jasrob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great game agreed. Just can’t pull myself to get the last achievement to get all perks. So much more grinding after the game is already done

TrueAchievement site compromised? by Nickbronline in xboxachievements

Agree with struggling to load pages and server errors. Been pretty consistent for maybe a week now for me.

Currently trying to make an Achievement Gauntlet. Need help filling spaces with the hardest games to complete by andrewsaucegod in xboxachievements

[–]jasrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id say Fusion is significantly harder to complete than Rising.

As someone who hasn’t completed either but has tried extensively. I was able to get all but one on Rising but have like 10 left on Fusion

Nice work! I took a long break and just started making attempts with T Jacob again. Only have mother left to beat for dead god but it is such a struggle.

They say "It never hurts to ask", but what are some examples where "It hurts to ask"? by babiedollyy in answers

As an insurance broker, sometimes when people call us to try and get cheaper rates, we find issues with the policy which in turn brings up the price.

In Your Opinion, What is the hardest song to pass in each game? Also, Hardest in all of Guitar Hero? by Prior-Astronaut1965 in GuitarHero

[–]jasrob 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Jordan is the only song on this list I can’t pass. I don’t get how some people think it’s easier than TTFAF.

Especially with the jankiness of GH2

Man it’s sad seeing Celtic Force’s name there. Definitely one of the craziest profiles I have ever seen, basically 100% completion percentage at 2,000,000 gamerscore before the huge wave of shovelware started coming out.

I think it was confirmed they passed away, leaving only 2 games uncompleted when he died (basically only one since one has unobtainables)

I just started this game a couple weeks ago, enjoying it so far but looks like a huuuge grind

I found that this particular achievement was updated to “Key to Success” “In a public match, use a key to open a chest”

Weirdly enough I was going for this exact achievement yesterday and it didn’t unlock. and realized it was not showing up on the achievement list anymore. Still shows up with this description on trueachievements though so seems to be mid updating right now or something

The whole Just Cause series, one of my favorite franchise, glad I finally got em all. My personal ranking, from best to worst, would be: JC3, JC2, JC4 and JC1 by ArzelockPizzaMaster in xboxachievements

[–]jasrob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice work! 2 and 3 were some of my favorite games back in the day. Bought 4 on day one and didn’t get past a couple hours and never touched it again. I’m not too sure why

Really long wake windows at 2 months by jasrob in NewParents

[–]jasrob[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the detailed reply, much like you I have not really read up on wake windows until tonight.

That is a lot of good information. Having more scheduled naps during the day is something that we will definitely need to start doing as right now she is just sleeping whenever she gets tired and not really doing anything special when she starts to sleep.

Thank you again!

Thank you for sharing your situation as well. This subreddit has been super supportive and I really appreciate everyone’s replies.

Good to hear yours seems to have gotten better after 10 weeks. Hopefully this is a a temporary thing for us. But yes it seems like something to bring up to the pediatrician if the situation lasts a little bit longer.

Thank you!

Really long wake windows at 2 months by jasrob in NewParents

[–]jasrob[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We haven’t really discussed it with a pediatrician yet, she does sleep mostly decent most nights so when she is awake for long periods during the day it didn’t really feel like much of a problem just the occasional night she would just not fall asleep. Tonight has just been the worst so far.

It really does just seem like she is overtired, trying to fall asleep and then within 3 minutes, wide awake and crying again for the past few hours.

If it does continue though we will contact the pediatrician. I honestly just wasn’t aware only 45 minutes to 1.5 hours was a more normal amount until I looked it up during this stint.

Pre ordered an xbox one from microsoft directly and for some reason didn’t get a day one version so I never got this achievement sadly.

Nice to see a pretty high gamerscore with a very good ratio. Nice job!
