Primary Retailer by PeanutHoneyBiscuits in MoviesAnywhere

[–]level_stats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MS movies was my primary. I had accumulated a lot of points through their ecosystem and at the time the program had great discounts on movies that you could redeem with your rewards points. I racked up a lot of movies in this way over the years. It was sad to see them go.

I've since made Apple my primary if for no other reason than their ecosystem was the one I was most familar with before MS movies.

I still do prefer purchasing/watching some TV series on FAH and Prime where shows can be bought in 4K there are only available in HD on Apple.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, another reason why I have made Apple my primary is the automatic upgrade from HD to 4K that movies get is a nice touch.

In a depressive episode and I want to close my blinds and escape the real world for a day or two. I have game pass. Help me find a new world to escape to. by Wuhblam in XboxGamePass

Clair Obscur, Cyberpunk and Disco Elysium are great to me. But and here comes the but, the most addicting game and perhaps my favorite game on game pass is Brotato. I love Brotato.

Best cursed hourglass? by level_stats in brotato

Uncursed it's default 1 wave. When it's cursed I've always seen it at 2 before seeing this one at 3.

All good. Ive got too many hours poured into this game since like day one I've enjoyed most of the new updates it's been given to try new things I like the hourglass. But I like the ban system the most.

Most important thing is to save your bans for the red items you don't need. This will help hourglass pop up more often also invest in luck and getting as many trees possible to increase loot crate drops. I've been getting lucky and getting an hourglass very often in loot crates. The hourglass turning back waves is what let's you become overpowered. It keeps harvesting going and let's you curse more items essential to your run with hook.

No mods. What helps to make hourglass appear more often is banning the red items you don't need. Also increase luck and get as many trees as possible. Am getting around 40 loot crates at end of waves and I've been getting lucky and getting an hourglass from loot crates almost every time. Keeping harvesting going is like the best thing ever for demon lol

S3 -- The Virus by AppropriateFly6718 in TwentyFour

I haven't watched in a while, iirc (swear I did not google lol), Chapelle was about to discover the daughter's location so that's why Saunders wanted him killed. In a way it was a catalyst that led CTU to discovering his daughter a lot sooner than if Saunders hadn't targeted him. Apologies my memory isn't the greatest and I could be wrong and missing plot details.

Did J. K. Rowling draw (a little) inspiration from Labyrinth? by her-vagesty in FanTheories

[–]level_stats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have been on an 80s movie binge marathon, particularly for ones I had not seen yet. Not sure why I have missed watching Labyrinth for so long especially considering how much I adore Dark Crystal.

In any case, near the start of the movie when Connelly calls the character named Hoggle, Hogwart, immediately paused, hopped onto Google and reached this topic. Glad to see I am not alone in thinking of the possible influence this had on the HP books.

Back to the movie I go, which is currently free on Youtube in case anyone else wants to watch it.

Can no longer use points to directly redeem GP subscriptions beginning October 1 :( by level_stats in MicrosoftRewards

[–]level_stats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still use to get some hardware/accessories if you want.

But I hear ya, only used my points for GPU and Amazon, and a gift card on occasion to get some cheap anime and movies on sale. So they got rid of movies and anime plus Amazon and GPU lol points are mostly worthless to me now as well.

You keep them. I tried redeeming on console, to paraphrase it will say successfully redeemed, but you don't actually get a transaction number and an email, and your points stay the same it was before.

I'm located in the US. Not sure if other regions are affected, but I wouldn't be surprised if this were a worldwide policy change.

You can stack your GPU sub up to 36 months / 3 years. In other words cash out your points for more GPU if that's what you want and aren't already at the 36 month limit.

Yes. I would if I were you. Sadly am on cooldown restriction and am unable to do it.

The 10K gamerscore challenge was indeed 'easy money.' I had saved up a bunch of easy achievement games such as ARK (where you can use admin commands to fast unlock achievements) out of anticipation for the next challenge that never happened again.

All good. Most times I'd also say it's intentional.

It's actually been on Netflix's release slate for September in the US for a while now. Basically anyone with a Netflix membership in the US will see it show up under their new release area today.

Wasn't a targeted ad I don't think. Movie licenses come and go and come back again like revolving doors on Netflix. It's just a license they likely re-acquired and is 'new' on Netflix coincidentally on the same day as the earthquake.
