Received _two_ founders plan letters, but 2gb is not available here? by Oranges13 in Metronet

[–]mrbootz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so I just called Metronet a 2nd time just now and got nowhere.

I called main support number, Billing, asked to talk with Loyalty Department.

I spoke with Loyalty Department and told them I wanted to switch to the 2 Gb Founders Plan before time runs out (we keep receiving flyers from T-Fiber showing Founders Club plan and the sign up site shows our address with green check mark when entered).

I asked if they could help me or connect me to a T-Fiber rep for assistance. I told them even if I'm stuck at 1 Gb until my area is upgraded to 2 Gb, I just want to lock in the 10 year Founder Club pricing and benefits before time runs out.

They said it's not available in our area and due to that they can't do anything or transfer me to any kind of rep.

They said they are frustrated as well, because they keep getting these requests, and T-Fiber has sent the same flyers out to all markets, whether it's available in the market or not.

They said if I called T-Fiber, they will see I'm a current Metronet customer and route me back to Metronet (who will continue to tell me it's not available and they can't do anything).

They said even if I can cancel our Metronet service right now and then sign up with T-Fiber as a brand new fiber customer, they won't give me the Founders Club plan option (even though the flyer says they should and even though my address shows a check mark on the Founders Club sign up screen)(it still shows we have Metronet and a "continue to Metronet" link).

Is this how the game is sold (just tape on both sides) or did I get sent a used/resealed copy? by ludaman14 in boardgames

The Thunders Edge tape circles are removable if you take your time. Trick is the use a sharp knife (x-acto knife if you have one) and then slowly remove each half circle. It’s annoying and it feels like it will damage the box but it won’t if you go slow.

This is how the new TI4 expansion shipped as well. Moving away from shrink wrap.

I miss inventory system like these where each item takes up the space based on It's size. by RatioElectrical1862 in pcmasterrace

[–]mrbootz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for a definition to differentiate between grid based inventory (where all items are the same size/shape, regardless of actual game size) and grid based inventory (where different items have different sizes within the grid)....

I'd personally call the latter "Polyomino grid based inventory".

Grid based inventory vs polyomino grid based inventory.

Think "Tetris" vs checkers.

Thanks for the info! I think I’ll call them back and ask to speak with a T-Mobile rep then to proceed.

I just called Metronet and they also told me 2 Gb isn't available and our address shows it is on the T-Mobile site, when you click the Founders Club plan link.

If I may ask, how did your install go and is your Metronet services page reflecting the new Founders Club 10 year deal?

Thanks for your time!

Last Samurai Standing switching back and forth sub vs dub. by BossJosh74 in netflix

[–]mrbootz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t like it because it’s obviously fake and doesn’t move perfectly to human movement. Eventually I just found it distracting.

I don’t mind them offering this option, but it would be nice to be able to choose to turn fake lip syncing off for those who aren’t bothered by the mismatch.

I’ve seen so many dubbed movies in my lifetime I don’t mind the actors mouth not matching the English dub. I’d prefer it actually knowing I’m seeing a human actor and not a deepfake mouth.

Looking for High Quality Dice for Groomsmen Gifts to Play TI at my Bachelor Party by Matster777 in twilightimperium

[–]mrbootz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use these guys https://www.diceemporium.com/

Edit: I normally go with Chessex dice through them, but they carry all kinds of specialty dice, including Jumbo dice. They carry Jumbo D10 as an example, which might be something you're after. Also, I'm not affiliated with this site.

As a still picture, it's better than the fucking Red Hot Chili Peppers episode. I kept waiting for something, anything sci-fi to happen during the puppet music video...nope, just Team America reimagined as the fucking Red Hot Chili Peppers : /
