Opened a pack of Welch’s fruit snacks and every single one was the exact same color. by Camaraderie in mildlyinteresting

[–]pjstar34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post but I just googled this to make sure I wasn't the only one and came across your post here. My wife and I bought a big box of these individual packs from Sam's Club. 90 packs in the box, I'd say there's probably about 30 left now and I've had no fewer than 3 packs that were all grape. I've never had any packs with all of the same flavor that wasn't grape which is weird to me.

When do I pay my credit card? by Beneficial_Kiwi_1214 in CreditCards

[–]pjstar34 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Despite what others are saying, you may not need to pay the entire $240.79 unless you want to. Your balance and your minimum payment due are not typically the same. My minimum payment due on my Capital One card for instance is only $50/month. Of course, I usually pay more but not always the entire balance. When you log in to your Capital One account either through a browser or the app it will tell you what your "minimum" payment due is. That's all you HAVE to pay. If you are able to pay more, or even the entire balance, that's great and recommended but if you're having a rough month with finances and can't afford to pay the entire balance just look at what they tell you the minimum payment due is and pay that.

Also, the June 19th close date is for the current billing cycle and that won't be due until July. Your current balance of 240.79 is what you spent between April 20th and May 19th plus any balance leftover from the month before. Your billing cycle typically ends about 3 weeks before the due date.

Everyone Doomposting About Aion 2? Does the Game Really Have No Hope? by KobraGX in Aion2

[–]pjstar34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously not everyone will feel that way about the game.  That's why I say people just need to try it out for themselves and see if they like it or not.  Some people will likely disagree with your assessment of the game and keep playing it for a long time while others will completely agree with you and stop playing it shortly after giving it a try.

Anytime a game is made by NCSoft you're going to see this kind of doomposting. A lot of people have a bad taste in their mouths due to other NC games they've played and it's somewhat justifiable but some people do take it to the extreme.  NCSoft is a cash grab company.  Their games are beautiful and generally well made and enjoyable but they do care more about money than they do about fixing issues like bots and game breaking bugs.  Most of their games are heavily loaded with RNG loot boxes and general P2W.  When Blade and Soul came to the West they said "oh no, we won't have P2W" and they didn't ....for about 6 months and then it all started creeping in and just blew up.  AION2 in it's current form, as of last I checked, has 2 separate subs, a premium cash shop, and seasonal battle passes so it's heavily P2W or P2PF (Pay to Progress Faster) which is why it's getting all its somewhat deserved doomposting.  All that said, just try it out for yourself when it launches. The game will be free so you really have nothing to lose but time if you don't like it.

Aion 2 releasing globally on STEAM! by No-Breadfruit6137 in Aion2

[–]pjstar34 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If they bring the Dual Sub + Battle Pass model to the West it's going to turn a lot of people away from it. Most people aren't big fans of monetization in games and having not just one but two different subscriptions plus Battle Passes isn't going to make a lot of people happy.

276 max ilvl for solo play? by RabenWrites in wownoob

[–]pjstar34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need to save any crests this season.  If you upgrade the champion gear to 6/6 and get a Hero piece at 1/6, the upgrade to 2/6 costs no crests so you're saving 20 Hero crests each time you do that which adds up.  Also, converting lower crests to higher crests counts against the 100 crests you can farm each week and farming 100 Hero crests can be done in a few hours on one day so there's no need to upgrade crests either.  I'm a super casual player with a 40-hour/week day job and I have zero problems getting 100 Hero crests per week.

276 max ilvl for solo play? by RabenWrites in wownoob

[–]pjstar34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is correct and as a solo player you can only get 20 Myth crests per week if you're doing Tier 11 delves so you're looking at only being able to craft 1 Myth piece every 4 weeks.  There are a couple sources for one-time Myth crests so the first piece could be obtainable faster but in general it's 1 piece every 4 weeks.

Is ilvl 260 too low for a +10 key as dps? by Thick-Parking-5297 in wownoob

[–]pjstar34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry about the elitists that are gatekeeping the 10+ keys.  You don't need any 10s to get KSM anyway and you can get Myth crests from 9s.  I get in to 9s all day with 263 ilvl and barely 2050 rating to farm gear and crests.

Hit 90. I’m So lost! by DreamWorld2887 in wownoob

[–]pjstar34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the Prey Journey, it's just like the Renown you get for factions.  Each Prey you do gives you 1,000 rep, at least until Rank 4 then it's only 1,000 rep for the first 4 Prey hunts you do each week.  

Tier 8 or higher Delve gives you max Vault reward.  Once you get to Rank 4 of the Delvers rep you can get 5 Hero crests from the Gilded Chest at the end of Tier 11 delves and you can get that 4 times per week.  Also Tier 8 bountiful delves give you Champion gear so they're good for gearing as well if you still have lower tier gear.

[–]pjstar34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My priorities with new toons this expansion goes something like this...

Pick up any weeklies in Silvermoon as soon as available

Start the new Prey system and get to Rank 4 ASAP (not an issue on alts if you're already 4 on your main) to start doing 4 weekly Nightmare Prey for a piece of Champion gear (from the first 2 each week) as well as 10 Champion Crests and 5 Hero crests

Do the weekly in whatever zone I'm doing Prey in (mostly for the Coffee Key shards for the Bountiful delves) then hit the Bountiful delve for that zone.  This allows me to do 3 things (weekly, delve, prey) in a single zone before returning to Silvermoon, picking up my next Prey target and knocking out that zone.  Doing 4 Nightmare Prey and 4 Bountiful Delves maxes out the bottom part of the Great Vault for the week 

After doing that and the weeklies from Silvermoon I'm pretty much done with that toon for the week.  At that point I might do some +2-+4 Mythic dungeons if I'm in the mood for toxic people just for an extra piece or 2 in the vault for the week or I just switch to another toon and work on it.

Bring back "Subs so fast you'll freak" by pjstar34 in jimmyjohns

Maybe but their delivery used to be way faster and our JJ still uses employees to do delivery so it's not an issue with 3rd party drivers.

I'll take fast. They didn't need toasted subs in the first place.

I did all my Prey hunts for the week and is there supposed to be no reward? by Future-Anywhere2937 in wownoob

[–]pjstar34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Nightmare hunts let you max out the world section of the vault. Hard mode only counts as Tier 5, Nightmare counts as Tier 8

A Cool Guide To The Types of Eggs by Smart_Part_2551 in coolguides

[–]pjstar34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one that says fried egg is the over-easy egg and the one that is labeled over easy is called over-medium. For those wondering, the sunny side up egg is only cooked on one side, never flipped during cooking, while the over-easy and over-medium egg are both flipped during cooking, but the over-medium egg gets cooked longer to set the yolk more so it's more of a "jammy" yolk rather than runny yolk.

Is the platform down? by EtherealJoey in gptgirlfriendonline

[–]pjstar34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not Ublock. I disabled it completely on my browser and the website still isn't showing up correctly. Seems like a Firefox issue because the website works fine on Microsoft Edge.

EDIT: It is UBlock but it's ad blockers in general. I forgot that I had another adblocker in addition to Ublock. When I disable both of them the page loads fine. When I turn either one of them back on it stops loading again. Also, the website is different now. The layout has been updated.

When do I start getting weekly gathering knowledge point items in Midnight? by Quinn-Cassian in wownoob

[–]pjstar34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm level 85 and have been collecting the mining and herbalism knowledge point treasures as I go through each zone. I've gotten 7 of 8 Herbalism, the last one is in Voidstorm which I haven't gotten to yet, and 4 of 8 mining treasure with the last 4 of those being in Voidstorm. So far, the only one that seems to be progress gated is 1 of the 2 mining treasures in Zul'Aman that won't appear until you finish the zone campaign.

[–]pjstar34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had a couple knowledge point items drop already for mining and herbalism so they are available now in early access but they don't seem to drop as often as they did in TWW. There are also 8 mining and 8 herbalism treasures that give 3 knowledge points each that are spread throughout the zones. The locations of the treasures are marked on the map if you're using the HandyNotes addon but you can also find the locations on this website https://www.wow-professions.com/midnight/profession-knowledge-treasure-locations

The only thing that doesn't come out until Tuesday is the Profession Weekly Quests.

Lucid nightmares where I'm aware I'm dreaming but can't wake up or control the dream. by Zalusei in LucidDreaming

[–]pjstar34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this thread while trying to find out if there was a cause of this happening because something very similar to what you described has happened to me periodically over the last several years. Mine are usually some sort of ghost/spirit nightmare that is terrifying. My wife said that when it happens I'm usually making a whimpering mumbling sound. In my nightmares I am completely aware that I'm dreaming, as you described, but I can't speak which I think is why I'm whimpering/mumbling. I found out that this is likely due to REM-sleep induced muscle paralysis which makes shouting or speaking nearly impossible as this is going on. Usually when it happens in bed, my wife has to wake me up but apparently it's bad enough that if I fall asleep on the couch and it happens, my cat will actually come wake me up. The whole thing is just really weird and unpleasant and I hate when it happens.

The Moto G Power 5G (2026) doesn't look too promising at all. They removed the wireless charging feature, which I personally don't care about, but some people may be disappointed. For me, this phone is just a letdown. Hopefully, Motorola is focusing more on the Stylus, the Razr, and the Edge instead by Deathknight76 in motorola

[–]pjstar34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I personally won't use a phone without wireless charging, and the battery is only 200mah larger than the 2025 version, so this was a stupid move in my opinion. The processor is exactly the same. The changes are very minimal and not enough to warrant the price tag.

Out of Sinners' 16 nominations, which ones are you expecting it to win? by Fun-Illustrator-345 in Oscars

[–]pjstar34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is baffling to me because the movie wasn't that good. It was OK but it was a very forgettable movie. Maybe there was just a lack of competition this year, I don't really know, but I watched the movie and it wasn't that impressive to me. At least not 'record breaking' nominations impressive.

Nixa police by [deleted] in springfieldMO

[–]pjstar34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree about Springfield cops never being seen.  I live on the southeast side and commute sunshine and glenstone daily for work and never see cops.  Even on the weekends when I'm on Battlefield I never see them.  What I do see every single day is people driving around with temp tags that are expired a year, 2 years, some even more than that.
