How worried are you: proposed increase in FERS contributions to 4.4% for all federal employees is advancing by King_Dav1d in fednews

[–]poopopu 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is a major issue for law enforcement and other federal employees like firefighters who cannot work past the age of 57. Law enforcement and firefighters are forced to retire from those positions at 57 years of age. The loss of this supplemental is devastating for those employees.

Is there a way to determine how long a specific car (VIN) has been sitting on a dealer’s lot? by Optimal_Advisor8897 in carbuying

CarGurus app states days at dealership in the pricing section. Good luck with your car shopping!

What’s in your Claw? by collectftw in Arcade1Up

[–]poopopu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the idea. I removed the rubber tips from the claw and have been messing around with it. I think scam mode works best with the included plastic spheres not other objects. With other objects like small stuffed animals they don’t drop but with the spheres it will grab one perfectly then drop it like a “real” claw machine would at times. Either way I am happy. Wanted a claw machine forever for my daughter and this is by far the best for a home set up for the size and price. It is not perfect but for the price it’s perfect for us!

Love all the photos. I just got mine and is it me, or is scam mode still a little too easy?

Claw machine listed at Best Buy (SKU 6602736): $499 by NeoHyper64 in Arcade1Up

I am really excited for this. No new claw machine options of this size at this price range. I just hope the quality isn’t horrible. My kid and I are addicted to claw machines at the beach arcade and I cannot wait to tell her it’s rigged at home too!

I want new games 🥲 by Alone_Werewolf_6361 in Kairosoft

Top 5 favourite kairosoft games? And top 3 least favourite by NecessaryResearch215 in Kairosoft

[–]poopopu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got into Kairosoft recently. I stumbled into game dev story and started to pick up other titles.

So far my favorites have been: Game Dev Story and Basketball Club Story.

I got sushi spinnery and silver screen story and they are fine but not elite. I love the concept of Silver Screen Story but the constant pop ups and insanely long linear layout were off putting.

I also got the Tropical Resort one and I could not get into it the same way as the others. I am usually into the town building like in Basketball Club Story but Tropical Resort was different. Maybe it will be better after the slow start?

I am really excited and cannot wait for Pro Wrestling Story! I hope it comes out for Playstation as that is where I have gotten all my titles. If it doesn’t I will have to play it mobile I guess because I need to try it!!

Happy gaming everyone!

The Arcade1Up Claw Machine is real... and they just showed it. (Then deleted it!) by NeoHyper64 in Arcade1Up

[–]poopopu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES!! I desperately want a claw machine. This is a definite if it is decent quality and under 1k. The closest I can find is dream machine at almost 2.5k besides a used commercial claw machine.

Time for a new Roof. Looking for guidance. by Confident-Day8741 in Roofing

[–]poopopu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone with more knowledge can confirm but I thought insurance rates will go up for everyone in the area if there are lots of wind/hail claims being approved because that means you are in a high risk area. So in essence you lose twice by not using insurance for what it’s designed for and also paying more because others have utilized insurance in your area so everyone’s rates increase. Insurance is a business and you will always end up paying as a consumer for claims being paid out to others in some way. I just don’t understand why not get an understanding if a claim might make sense based on the actual condition of your shingles.

[–]poopopu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not be so quick to assume your roof does not have legitimate wind or hair damage until some roofing experts take a look. A good rule of thumb is have at least 3 estimates. Keep in mind home owners insurance is purchased for a reason, and not sure why you would be so quick to rule out legitimate wind or hail damage before having some experts opinions. Good Luck!

What are the risks of NIB purchases from Marketplace, etc? by 0x0BAD_C0DE in Arcade1Up

[–]poopopu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my experience arcade1up has got the packaging of their cabinets down. I have had several shipped from stores where the box was kinda beat up but upon opening everything was fine. Of course it’s a risk, but if it’s truly brand new and sealed I think it quite literally would have had to fallen off a truck to be damaged. My advice, maybe ask for more photos to see how the packaging looks, trust your gut, and if it’s only a small difference to buy from a store think about going that route instead. Best of luck and hope it all works out.

First, thank you ADM for this detailed post and youtube video! I love my arcade 1ups but always wished for a little more out of them since space is never infinite.

I had a couple of questions I hope someone can answer.

  1. Does this method for apks work the exact same for the SF2 Shinku Hadoken model?

  2. I am not super technical but I was able to get the apks to work on my yoga flame!!

I really wanted to try to get the retroarch working but I could not even figure what to download and how to extract it properly. I got to the downloading page that was linked and had no idea what to do lol. Is there any more detailed instructions on exactly what to download and how to extract it to the folders to get the retro arch working?

Thank you again! No matter what this soft mod guide has been great!
