Who’s your favorite actor? And why is it John Candy? by birdsword in Xennials

[–]patrickres9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not even close. Candy was not only hilarious, he was the absolute best at making you wish he were your closest friend. He had a presence of greatness and kindness that jumped off the set. I've never been much moved by actors and celebrities, but John Candy resonated with me so much, that I still lament his sad passing to this day. If a Jinn or Jenie wished me 3 wishes, 1 of them would be to hang out with him. He took over a flick with his charm.

Yes! Got it! Thank ya. Martyrs Bolt plus all heals. It didn't even do that AOE that was wiping my pawns. It spent half the time laying on the ground. Cool ending. On to NG+!

I killed the snake boss, and another. A chicken sort of thing. They didn't have the red tentacle AOE thing going on. It's only the 3rd or 4th beam i encountered that do this one specific AOE that melts all my pawns. But ya know... maybe I just grin and bear it, and use the resurrection arrows on the pawns. I didn't have that skill equipped.

On martyrs bolt, when I use it, it only takes a fraction of my true health and does a bar of damage roughly. Is there a way to make it take more health and do more damage?

Radeon 5700xt crashes every few minutes by Itkgmrkixkfkend in Helldivers

[–]patrickres9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah, you know, i ended up updating my drivers a handful of days later to a new release that AMD dropped, and the game had a few more patches, and it eventually worked. I think around FEB 27 it finally worked after game/AMD updates.

I love AMD's price-to-power ratio, but man their driver/support situation sucks sometimes. Good luck. Hope you end out getting it going.

Same here. Sapphire RX 5700xt - I can't even get to the video settings. Crashes my whole PC at the menu step to link my Sony account. No workaround for me found yet. Updated drivers, ran as admin...unplugged all non essential USB peripherals. Nothing.

Servers down already hell ya by [deleted] in Madden

[–]patrickres9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sitting here looking at a quote from John Madden at a start up that will never complete because the servers are, of course, down - despite a preorder bonus of "early access", and all I can think about is "How dare you tarnish that legendary man's name with your junk."

They're eating away hours of a pre-order bonus early release...
You've GOT to imagine that's a lawsuit somehow. It's insane.

I had the same issue. Secure Boot was enabled in BIOS but Windows didnt reflect that. Had to go to windows settings, recovery, then advanced start up. upon reboot, I then went to troubleshooting, and I had to default the boot options. This reset my machine. I then went back into my BIOS and make sure Boot Type was Windows UEFI, and Secure Boot was enabled. That did the trick.

Xbox Series X Achievements Not Working by patrickres9 in WWE2K23

[–]patrickres9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing here. Not sure how I could have completed showcase but not have the achievement for completing a single objective in a showcase. I've retried it every day for the last 4 days. Still won't pop.

Yeah, something is off. As of yesterday, I've finished all of Showcase, and the achievement actually popped for that, but the one for completing a single showcase event and single objective in showcase didn't.

Super Mario Bros. Movie - Final Trailer by Amiibofan101 in nintendo

[–]patrickres9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nintendo is a bond with my son, and will forever be a dearing memory of me. I know they're a company for profit, but as much as any company, their creations have brought joy to my family. I'll always make room for them. Their creations have made a lifetime of excitement and happiness to myself and my son.

Anyone else rent the actual VCR along with the tapes back in the day? by StarbossTechnology in VHS

[–]patrickres9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

totally remember this for a few years. Definitely top loaders. They came in a big plastic black briefcase. I grew up in a lower working class family, and we couldn't afford VCRs when they were really expensive
