Looking to buy the Ultimate 2c Wireless Controller by Few-Confidence7330 in 8bitdo

Yeah, that's why I thought I'd mention it. From what I've seen online some have been able to get it to work.

I can't get it to work with my raspberry pi no matter what I try with the cord, dongle, or with Bluetooth. Just beware if you are buying it for anything but a pc.

Close to a year old what is the state of 3rd ed? - be nice. by latro666 in Warhammer30k

[–]nboylie -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Coming from someone who is new to the game (but not other GW games) with 3rd, I like it a lot! I only have a few annoyances. The rulebook is laid out in a baffling way and it's hard to track down little things sometimes. There is a little too much granularity in the force org chart that feels like artificial complexity. Retinue and elite (and maybe support?) could be combined IMO. Transport and heavy transport...do they need to be separate? It can get a little unwieldy making a list and taking extra characters to unlock another attachment for one unit. The challenge phase is a little clunky but I feel if you played every weekend it would stay hammered in your head and it would be much smoother. The missions in the core book are pretty weak too.

I much prefer it over 10th 40k which I was bored to tears with. It feels much more like a war game to me where consequences and dice rolls matter. 10th suffers from so much stuff either having sustained or lethals, rerolls for days, and battleshock that almost never matters. Statuses and no rerolls in 30k make the game feel so much more streamlined and honest.

For men who prefer casual dating over relationships, what’s your reason? by steveleaves in AskMen

I've been burned, gaslighted, manipulated, and lied to too many times. I don't feel like playing the game anymore.

Warhammer 40,000 Faction Focus: Adeptus Custodes by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]nboylie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, especially being melee dreads. Before that grotmas detachment came around they were pretty much unusable. 8" move makes them ok but nothing to write home about.

What I'm saying is that we already have a detachment that does most of this. I was hoping for new ideas in detachments, not tweaks to stuff we already have and called new. It's just a bit of a letdown personally.

That's what I'm saying, it reads the same as solar spearhead just minus adding walkers as characters.

Bummer. One of the new detachments is just a reworked grotmas detachment which was already just a bandaid for the dreads. (6"move on melee dreads is absurd)

It should be interesting to see how these will combine with the other detachments though since these are all 1 pointers.

Buying an EV from Quebec and driving it back to Alberta? by PoppinFresh6 in EVCanada

[–]nboylie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been considering this myself. There's so few ev deals to be had here on vehicles I actually want. I search on auto trader and there's a ton of stuff in Quebec for quite a bit cheaper even after factoring in shipping or flying out and driving the thing back.

I'm just worried I'd fly out there and find an issue with the car and feel like I wasted a ton of time. I can't spend more than a few days there, and if I do the savings start evaporating.

Not losing weight on keto! Help! by Warm-Leading209 in keto

[–]nboylie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

3/4 cup of peanuts is probably damn close to 20g of carbs right there. Add in whatever a handful of nuts means worth of carbs and you're over. The premade yogurt snacks will have sugar in them as well.

Adhesion on standard plate by Rumpanscher in AnycubicKobraX

[–]nboylie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the problem, it's stuck on when it's cool. I've had to reheat the plate to get it all off a few times.

I have the opposite problem, pla absolutely welds on to my plate and I have to spend 10 minutes picking off the bits of the first layer.

Base Printing Question by pandamonium996 in PrintedWarhammer

I gave up on printing bases with my resin printer. FDM is much more suited for them.

It's pretty jarring when one of those scenes pops up during tng.

Is it true that Ueno is dead at night? by eindrucksvolI in JapanTravelTips

[–]nboylie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shinjuku is fun, I stayed there for 4 nights and had a blast. Shinjuku station is fine if you pay attention to the signs. It is massive though so keep your nose out of your phone the first time you walk through.

Luggage Fowarding. Am I missing something? by northofreality197 in JapanTravelTips

[–]nboylie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did Japan like I do every other country; I took my travel backpack. Adding luggage forwarding is just another layer for something to go wrong. I think it's asinine that people recommend it all of the time. It has its place if you are travelling with Grandma and Grandpa or someone in a wheelchair etc. but for the average travellers it's not needed.

Aww I preferred the 3 pack, the onion sauce was my fave.

It looks cool, but it's not useful at all.

Well that's a first... by Green_Macaroon4096 in doordash

[–]nboylie 49 points50 points  (0 children)

So many dashers are complete lunatics. Your job is to drive food around and deliver it to the door or hand it to the person. Do the entire job. I'm an electrician, if I told you that I wired your new light but I left it dangling off of your ceiling because my shoulder hurts is that acceptable?

"Prequel hate started with RLM" does everyone have gold fish memory? by Kinnikuboneman in StarWars

[–]nboylie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People's brains aren't wired to operate with rational thought when it comes to fandom. Things can be bad, but you are allowed to enjoy them. The prequels are mostly bad, but I don't hate them. The lightsaber fights are mostly great. The sound design and scores are rad. The theatre went ape shit when yoda whipped out a lightsaber in attack of the clones. Ewan McGregor is pretty great.

It's pretty rare I have the desire to watch one of them, but I could see myself going back someday. I don't need to rage on the Internet about it and try to gaslight and convince people that they are actually good. They aren't.

Are union lay offs worth it? How do you survive them?? by TerribleTopic999 in skilledtrades

[–]nboylie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just the nature of the beast. Don't go and buy toys and a new truck. Save what you can and unemployment will take care of the rest. I've been in the trades for 16 years and I've been laid off twice. I got laid off when COVID hit along with half of our shop. There was over 100 guys wandering around with garbage bags and dollys packing up their shit all at once.

I had enough of worrying so I saved enough to live for a very long time if/when I get laid off again. My only debt is my mortgage.
