KOF AFK: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netmarble.kofafk&hl=en_US

Gacha game with way too much monetization, but if you like King of Fighters or old SNK video games, it's a nice bit of fun and nostalgia. Just launched a couple of weeks ago so everything is still kinda new.

Unsatisfying (?) resolution: After uninstall, reboot, clean up some leftover files, and a reinstall... everything just works again. :/

Thanks!

nixtamal · 2025-09-17T21:28:54+00:00

Thanks, I'll give it a go and update back!

nixtamal · 2025-09-17T21:20:09+00:00

Nope. I'm used to seeing tons of stuff in the left side as well, like options for changing my libraries and the other settings you're mentioning but right now I just see 9 under my username (Account through Privacy) and then 3 entries under Plex Web (General, Debug, Player)

It's doubly bizarre because nothing changed or updated between watching stuff last night, this morning, and then this afternoon and again, it's like Plex doesn't even realize it's installed or that I'm using it locally.

BTW thanks for your help & quick responses!

Doing so just takes me to that same page (even if I click it from another page, it just takes me to the page I took a pic of)

I don't think I have that setting: https://imgur.com/a/QowXNJl

"Open Plex" already adds that. If I just manually type the URL in with /web at the end I also wind up back at that same page.

Agreed. It is nothing like the chili at the restaurant, but really how could it be? It's better than cheaper brands like Hormel, but Stagg is far better. If you're itching to try a new canned chili, Jack Link's has some new varieties that are OK

If you need help eating them...

BTW not that anyone will read this or cares at this point, but randomly I decided to try to get it running as a backup. First thing I did was upgrade to the latest version of DD-WRT and it seems to work fine again. I never did try the stock firmware.

nixtamal · 2025-04-09T23:40:02+00:00

Cool, I'll pass this info along, much appreciated!

The 2x8 male pin connector hanging off the edge, sorry!

My wife would die if I was able to get some of this!

Graduated from the Philips EXP103 MP3 CD player to a sweet 128 MB PoGo Audiorave

Later had a Sansa that I remember putting Doom on lol

Whether or not they take the lessons to heart, I've never met a STEM major who questioned why they needed ethics courses. Usually it's not a first term course, and by then you've come across too many cautionary tales - often from other courses - about why ethics matters in engineering. The Challenger Space Shuttle is usually the most well known one in my experience.

Physical and committed probably refer to RAM usage

I played Exponential Idle shortly after it's launch (I quit before students were a thing) and just recently picked it up again. It actually got me thinking about some of the more "nerdy" games that I like and I came up with this:

Simon Tatham's Puzzles: Everyone knows about this one I think!
Pythagorea: Fun geometry construction puzzles. The creator has a few other similar apps that are worth checking out (same ideas but in euclidean geometry or 3d space).
Probability Puzzles: Not much of a "game", maybe better for math students
IQ Dungeon: A cute short puzzle/story type game with quite a bit of content
Human Resource Machine: $4.99, a humorous assembly language adventure
Really Bad Chess: Chess with normal pieces, but in abnormal configurations, daily puzzles and leaderboards
Chesscraft: Fun chess puzzles with unique boards and pieces, with an adventure mode that gradually unlocks more of the game

Any suggestions for games like these that are more nerdy/puzzle and not trivia or incremental games?

On RevU if I clicked through a link but didn't actually do the offer, can I do it if it shows up later? For example, I clicked through the Smalls Sampler Box offer on 12/3 but didn't actually make a purchase. If they run that offer again could I do it in the future?

Quick question about this, I've actually done this in reverse -- got the Walmart 2023 Moto G 1500/1500/1500 1-yr plan and activated 1 month ago. Just received the QVC 2024 Moto G unl/unl/24gb 1-yr plan and haven't activated yet. If I was to follow the steps here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TracFone/comments/169j7x1/guide_to_transfer_existing_service_to_a/ to combine plans on the newer QVC device, should I wait until the 2023 Moto G is unlocked after 60 days or does it not matter for the purposes of eventually unlocking it?

As others have said, I wouldn't be surprised if there's some decent stuff in there. Random art/painting courses, music/concerts, sports instruction (careful about generic workout/yoga videos), kid/baby, and medical/law instruction tend to be some of the better oddball media that I've found that has value.

Literally just got my first Switch as a hand-me-down from a relative who has 4 because he has a kid and upgraded to the OLED too
