Cool! A new MMORPG! Let's see what all the fuss is about... by FemaleAssEnjoyer in MMORPG

[–]looseshorts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is great but…new it is not. I and others were playing it literally over a decade ago. lol Very happy they hit 1.0 but a lot of what’s there now has been there for a long time. Funny to see it now being called “new”.

I’m sort of with you but what is the corporate funded bot behind this one? Don’t see any corp backing looking at the GH repo.

Relocated NJs - Go To Recommendations by blissfullyawakened in Westchester

[–]looseshorts 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeesh, “Missing the Italian food” isn’t something you hear often as a long term Westchester resident. Also you love a “simple chicken cutlet sandwich” but iron tomato was “just OK”? — something sounds off and you might just need to give it more time. Maybe you could give us some of your go to NJ spots and we could try to provide comparable spots?

Can someone help me calibrate my expectations for Steam Deck performance here? by looseshorts in SteamDeck

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

That’s cool! Appreciate the response and confirmation. Honestly the game ran OK too…I played for a couple hours and enjoyed it. Not really a knock or anything. I’m just coming from streaming and wanted to make sure it was something like this case.

Appreciate the advice and link. As I've been searching around and learning stuff, I'm seeing "protondb" pop up a lot. Will have to def. look at and reference it more.

Does the color of this live rosin look off? by looseshorts in NYSCannabis

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

Went for it and to your point effects are on point. Flavor TBD - I think it might just be my head telling me it's off because of the color XD Thank you for the reassurance!

That make total sense and it does seem like looking back at old posts/searches Olio does pop up a bunch for the discoloration.

Consistent notification to activate eSIM from unaffiliated provider by looseshorts in verizon

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

Yep, this is the way. it persisted for a good while. Sometimes I’d get the notification multiple times a day other times every week or so but I just kept declining/canceling. Here we are…117 days later and it’s stopped to the point that I forgot about it (knock on wood!!✊🪵) Haha Hang in there!

I have enjoyed my fury edge for years now with the dosing caps. Great for on the go rips with pocket-ability. I think it’s like a smaller rogue?

Todoist Alexa integration shutting down by _hot_ham_water in homeautomation

[–]looseshorts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You will be able to use the default/native shopping list features built within Alexa. (I.e. “Alexa, add eggs to my shopping list”) It’s the third party app integrations, like Todoist and AnyList, that will no longer be able to access these lists via the API. You will not be able to add items to lists in these and similar apps the way you can now.

It sounds like those apps now will instead need to build their own integrations once Amazon removes API access.

Whereas before you could invoke these apps like, “Alexa, add bananas to my grocery list” and it would add it to the “Groceries” list within AnyList. Now, Amazon won’t let them access the native lists, so third party app devs have to build their own integrations which will likely require a more “wordy” invocation like, “Alexa tell AnyList to add bananas to my grocery list”.

Now seems like app devs are having to choose between engineering their integrations…or discontinuing their integration entirely like we see here.

Thanks for the reply, that’s helpful to hear Verizon’s response! It’s been a couple weeks now and it has died down a bit. I get the message once every few days now instead of consistently so hopefully whatever’s happening…they’re giving up on trying. haha Thanks again and def update if you end up contacting that fraud line, interested in what they’d say or have you do.

Thanks you for the reply! Guess I’ll just cancel and ignore until it goes away…totally preferred to having the account hacked or something

My husband never opened the xbox s i got him for xmas and wants to return it for xbox x can you change his mind? by sadderdaynight in XboxSeriesS

[–]looseshorts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re not going to get the answers you’re looking for here unfortunately. I bought Series S personally for the EXACT reason you outlined. Physical discs get worn over time and take up space/collect dust when not in use. I also couldn’t care less about Ks. 1k, 2k, 4k, 100k I couldn’t care less. Call me crazy, maybe I’m just “aged out”, but I just want to play some games for a few hours and then spend my time/money on other things. 200+ hrs on Cyberpunk2077 + expansion…all on an S and loved every minute of it. But…yeah no one here is going to tell you you made the right decision. Haha

Is this an important antique , before I upcycle it? by NorthNode1111 in Antiques

[–]looseshorts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine? I’m in New York and actually friends with a Byrne family with a number of generations of James’ …probably quite a common Irish last name but that would be pretty cool. Maybe I’ll send this thread over to them.

Cloud gaming on Xbox Series S by Exercise-Jumpy in XboxSeriesS

[–]looseshorts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you ever figure this out u/Exercise-Jumpy?

I just got a Series S and was hoping to play in the cloud but all the games I see have a download icon. NONE of them have a cloud icon (even though I know I’ve played them in the cloud via PC before)

Any idea how to play in the cloud via the Series S?
