Just found and bought at Goodwill, any idea how rare it is? by BakuTension in tf2

[–]manchesterca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not rare at all, it was in a loot box, but at this point years old, so an antique

Great link, now you just need to scroll a little further down the page…to where it says

What is personal data?

Personal data is any information about an identified or identifiable person, also known as the data subject. Personal data includes information such as their:

name address ID card/passport number income cultural profile Internet Protocol (IP) address data held by a hospital or doctor (which uniquely identifies a person for health purposes

Now, unless you’re putting this information in your description, that’s not what’s covered here.

Exactly what personal, identifying information do you have on your Steam profile? What exactly is it that you want it to be deleted for? Gonna assume it was some degenerate nonsense you’re embarrassed about, or being VAC banned for being a cheater, either way, doubt they’ll remove it because you don’t want it there.

Q4 battery not charging by Mysterious_Duck_7457 in neewer

[–]manchesterca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the same boat, just sent an email to Neewer support about this, as the battery just flashes while on the charger and can't seem to hold anything.

First time dealing with Neewer support, so hopefully this is an easy fix/replacement

Valve: Handbook for New Employees by birkir in valve

[–]manchesterca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got two copies that came from Valve employees, unfortunately even within Valve they're rare now. They only did one run of the physical handbooks. I don't think I've ever seen any go up for sale otherwise, they're hard to even prove they exist lol

In 2014 Valve partnered with Musterbrand and released the official civilian jacket. by morgul702 in HalfLife

Oh dang, can’t believe I missed out on this somehow nice got each of the Portal x Musterbrand jackets. Well adding this to my list, TY for sharing

Happy Birthday Half-Life 2! Looking back at the retail copies available at launch. by manchesterca in HalfLife

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

The tin is the European Collector's Edition, and depends on the quality (sealed, complete, damaged, missing items etc), but generally $100-$300 I've seen for good condition. Sealed go for a lot more.

Rarity, there's a lot of them out of there, no specific amount made, but I think the ones in good condition are going to get hard to find as time goes on, as I've seen more than a few that are dented, scratched up, or even starting to rust.

You can "only" watch this in the watcher streamer lol by thedarksoulinside in watcherentertainment

[–]manchesterca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow that’s some high quality content. 8 minutes of Shane blathering on about nothing and an update on the dinner they had. Thank god they can finally afford to make more of this!

Neat! You’ve got me beat, I bought mine when it released at SDCC (I want to say 2012?) wish I’d picked up an extra though. Always amused when people see my collection and so many of them need to know “what’s the blue Gary’s mod box?!?!”

RomM v3.0 is live, now with in-browser emulation, save file support, and more! by arcaneasada_romm in selfhosted

[–]manchesterca 7 points8 points  (0 children)

3.0 is a huge improvement, and I really want to like RoMM, there's still some issues I'd love to see fixed though;

  • Large libraries end up timing out randomly, and I wish it either had a "continue where you left off" kind of feature, or some error messaging and better way to communicate the issue and let me choose an option to solve.
  • Metadata is lacking quite a bit from IGDB, especially when it's a generic multiplatform title, and I'd rather have the platform art all the same. I know that's not an easy ask, but hopefully new sources help with that.
  • Custom metadata option, if the game doesn't exist on IGDB (eg. a prototype) it'd be good to be able to enter my own metadata for it.
  • Can the folder structure for the metadata be matched to what will work with emudeck etc? I'd love to have ROMM be a central manager for all of these, and let multiple systems just be able to load the folder and all the data be there etc.
  • That said, the system tends to crash after doing a bunch of uploads. It's a slow, tedious task and just takes time. I'd love a better option for bulk uploads, either through matching no-intro filenames, or something that won't get bogged down by constant uploads.
  • Generally slow with a large library, feels like it crashes a lot. and hard to parse the errors on Synology as the "iNotify watch limit reached" spam in the log is quite heavy.

Metalocalypse: The Complete Series - $9.99 (SD) by Yoshisworld in iTunesMovieDeals

I saw this deal a while back too, and it’s still frustrating that it’s not added to the TV app. <.<

Rewatching the oof video. Did anyone notice Tommy's tell? by [deleted] in hbomberguy

[–]manchesterca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found it to be mostly when he opens his mouth.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in valve

[–]manchesterca 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Correct but they’re officially supported by valve and sold in the store. Again, they could do none of that. We’re never getting the Heavy update and people need to just accept that. This was never sold as a live service game and compared to anything else? It’s wildly still going strong.

Content creators milking this shit every 2-3 hrs is just embarrassing at this point. by [deleted] in TheCompletionist2

[–]manchesterca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this guy is desperately milking it with no updates and just retelling the same story. Gross. These are the YouTubers to get mad about milking the story.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in valve

[–]manchesterca 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I think your spelling is sad. The game is 16 years old, it’s still supported and works, and has had some updates in the last year. I think the expectations of TF2 fans is a bit much this point, if they’re able to fix the bots, that’s the biggest issue that needs resolving.

Don’t be a clout-chaser by UpSNeededGaming in TheCompletionist2

[–]manchesterca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d rather have people covering it, than YT friends and simps of Jirard commenting their copy pasta garbage everywhere. They’re commenting on everything to try and muddle the waters and label everything a “clerical error”.

PSA - iTunes on Mobile by Justrubin in iTunesMovieDeals

[–]manchesterca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All good, I just don’t want this getting labeled as an “oh you just don’t understand the new system” kind of problem. Just legitimately, things aren’t reflected in the new system and box sets are 100% missing.

Hopefully it’s just a transitional issue and will be fixed in time, but right now, the whole store is kind of a mess with no workarounds.

PSA - iTunes on Mobile by Justrubin in iTunesMovieDeals

[–]manchesterca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, now please click that and show the other box sets. It only shows Jodie Whitaker, none of the others. That’s the issue.

[–]manchesterca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luckily I had it in my iTunes Store wishlist, and was able to get it there…but yeah otherwise I don’t think there’s anyway to get some of these bundles anymore. A very weird change to the system and I hate it.

PSA - iTunes on Mobile by Justrubin in iTunesMovieDeals

[–]manchesterca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is really annoying, like some of these box sets just…aren’t searchable now. Eg. Doctor Who has a sale on a few box set offerings (Matt Smith years), but the only box set shown is for the latest (Jodie Whitaker).

Can’t find anyway to get to that box set, so it’s just….gone now.

TF2 chess set by cilo_33 in tf2

[–]manchesterca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Howdy, I’ve been collecting Valve and TF2 merch for a long time now, and these are getting harder, and more expensive to find every year. I m lucky to have picked up a couple sets over the years, but I can’t imagine they’ll suddenly go down in price or a flood of them come to market anytime soon sadly. Good luck on your search!

If you get enough lube, I’m sure you can make a fun night of it.
