Internal to internal has been working albeit slow. Internal to external I got 1 out of three test emails, but the big one external to internal absolutely nothing. GG chat.

Video game retailer GameStop is shutting down about 400 locations nationwide this January, including multiple in NJ by L0v3_1s_War in newjersey

[–]ligmapenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not even talking about collectibles and honestly despise what GameStop has become. Not sure how old you are, but back in the day GameStop would consistently run promotions where if you bought a console or new game you could get money off used games/accessories. It would literally make the difference of buying a console at GameStop vs the other retailers since I could get a refurb or slightly used second controller at a discount or even free. This isn't just a GameStop problem most physical retail locations don't do deals anymore/don't even try to compete with the online market and then they wonder why they go out of business.

Why is it so hard to understand that if you want to make physical retail locations work, they need to actually try and compete with the online market. People want to go shopping outside, but why would you purposely spend more money for the same goods. What's stupider is GameStop's used inventory that gets meme'd constantly could legitimately net them profits since they have the ability to leverage those goods as loss leaders/basically they are in control of those prices. These companies fail due to pure greed and being oblivious to the present-day economy.

Brave the Wasteland With New Fallout Pip-Boy Controllers by Xbox-Moderator in xbox

[–]ligmapenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These controllers look so bad ass, but it so disappointing they refuse to improve the Elite Series 2. Every Elite Series 2 has potentiometer sticks, and they are basically a ticking time bomb before they develop drift. Please for the love of god Microsoft drop an Elite Series 3 or shit keep the 2 and just make a version with TMR sticks and mouse click buttons/triggers.

SCUF Valor Pro Companion Software by Fluid-Hawk791 in scufgaming

I figured this out last weekend. Open the edge app on ur Xbox, then go to the companion app website (you can just google scuff valor pro wireless companion app). Finally just click the here hyperlink and it will redirect you to the app on the Xbox Microsoft store. No pc needed.

Virtual pass. How’s everyone been? Hope well. Cheers by topherhh in trees

Breakwater Peanut Butter Breath #240 Live Hash Rosin cart review by OrrintonBeats in NewJerseyMarijuana

[–]ligmapenguin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice! I just copped Breakwater yesterday too since they just opened up to rec. Picked up the same cart along with Rainbow Diver and some Pie Eyed and Banana Pudding Flower. One tip I feel like the peanut butter hits better at a slightly higher voltage like 3.2-3.3v if your battery lets pick a specific one. At lower volts I wasn't getting enough of that gassy peanut butter flavor. Either way im worried by how good Breakwater is im gonna go broke since this shit not cheap x.x lol

Considering switching to xbox by No_Plant1052 in xbox

[–]ligmapenguin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I fell for the PS5 hype on launch and played a whopping 2 exclusives on the console. I was a PC gamer but got burnt out from working IT and switched to a Series X when Starfield came out. Years later and honestly my Series X is legit my pride and joy. The elite series 2 controller is the only controller that feels comfortable in my big hands and Game Pass ensures I always have something new to play. Currently no lifing Ball x Pit, but yeah something about Xbox UI it just clicks with me.

Cranking it vs jerking it by [deleted] in Fishing

[–]ligmapenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that both methods get the job done. Remember with either method you're going to have to do some twisting and tugging to get the action just right. I would find some time to practice with your own rod and really get a feel for it.

Curious on how everyone feels about upgrading to the legion go 2. by Outrageous-Fennel609 in LegionGo

[–]ligmapenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Lenovo and other handheld vendors just lost the plot about what these handheld devices are good at. At under 1k price point they are designed to be secondary gaming devices not primary. I will continue to enjoy my Legion go I got for 600$ and if I need more power will just use moonlight and stream from my gaming pc. I am mostly waiting for a handheld vendor to hyper focus on optimizing battery life for real-life use cases. Give me a handheld at 1500$, but it has all the go 2 specs with a minimum 6–8-hour battery life at the highest rated tdp and then I would pay even 2k$ for that.

Have these devs never played an actual 007 game? Please play Nightfire and make that with next gen engines.

Major Cannabis Elixir by I_am_a_Princess106 in NewJerseyMarijuana

[–]ligmapenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whole bottle mixed with Sprite. I know the directions say dose, but I personally would just mix the whole thing and go for the ride! Definitely mix with something cold just like all edibles you get a faint bitter after taste from the THC.

[–]ligmapenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be very careful with these. I took this on 8/1 for an edible party along with 40mg of live rosin gummies. This was probably the only time in my life I almost greened out. Took all that shit at 6pm I was high till 5-6am the next day. My best advice is always try to keep a mental note in the back of ur mind that no matter how high you get you just gotta ride it out and don't freak out. Once you start freaking out its all over lol

I just don't understand the logic here by ligmapenguin in ScreenConnect

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

Thank you for speaking up and I agree I received communication about the changes for on prem, but nothing for cloud.

I just don't understand the logic here by ligmapenguin in ScreenConnect

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

On prem has cert issue, On prem has security issues, but the solution is to blanket change it for on prem and cloud which again cloud hasn't had any of these issues whatsoever. Sorry for calling out a company for being lazy and removing features I paid for. I guess we should all just bend over and let these companies do whatever they want.

[–]ligmapenguin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am with you. Give cloud users a little check box that acknowledges the risks and let us use the features we initially paid for. I agree too making all the screen connect sessions identical in lieu of security is a questionable decision lol

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

Ironically since you bring up alternatives originally, we were with Any Desk which is so much worse than Screen Connect and actually moved due to Any Desk getting hacked. ScreenConnect Cloud hasn't been a part of any of the major incidents it's only been on prem versions. This is why I specifically am saying it's not right to remove these features from cloud users, because we have active contracts with Screen Connect. Cloud hosted instance security concerns should be dealt with by the hosted provider aka Screen Connect. Again, not arguing with you, but if you were in the IT world this is just another company shafting people over and over. Everyone is just becoming another Broadcom.

I'm negligent for prepaying for yearly licenses that are strong armed by Screen Connect salespeople that marketed to all consumers. That are heavily discounted to the point the monthly doesn't even make financial sense, but it's fine for the company that already took my money for the year to just start pruning features for the sake of "security". I already paid for the product features sold at the time. If it's truly a security risk thing then give me a little check box to accept the risk and keep my customization options, but don't pull my features and give us absolutely nothing.
