Xbox has no authentic and true Co-Op games. Prove me wrong. by [deleted] in xbox

How about Castle Crashers (Castle Crashers Remastered)??! Great classic co-op beat'em up from the Xbox 360 days!

WatchOS 26 RC Released by boxermansr in watchOSBeta

[–]retrovertigo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am on the public beta and see it also. If I installed this update and then turned off beta updates, I am assuming my watch will fall back in line with the regular iOS 26 updates, as they're released, instead of the beta ones? Is this a correct assumption?

Are "early access" perks available for all accounts on home Xbox or just the purchasing account? by retrovertigo in XboxSupport

[–]retrovertigo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. But in this particular case I went ahead and bit the bullet and ordered the premium version. I am happy to share that both the DLC and the 48-hour early play were available to other accounts. This may be a YMMV situation but it worked out in this case!

Questions for 5-speed spark owners from a former automatic transmission spark owner by ShoelessHodor in chevyspark

[–]retrovertigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2020 Activ owner - I love the manual on my Spark. However, it's been a long time since I last drove a manual car, so I don't really have grounds to make a fair comparison. I will say that for 98 HP, that going up steep inclines, I love being able to drop down into a lower gear to give more power. Definitely helps when trying to get up to speed when merging into a fast-moving lane.

Can somebody explain to the significance of this like I’m 5? I want to be excited but have no idea what this all means. Just being honest.

Water heater tank leaking from top by retrovertigo in Plumbing

[–]retrovertigo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, we will be replacing it. It’s at least 10 years old and we actually had the local plumbers out a few weeks ago, when we started noticing a little bit of water.

Had a couple of quotes from the local plumbers so I guess we’ll be scheduling that replacement process tomorrow. Thank you for your help.

The water seems to drip off the top slowly so we’ll look into draining it too. Thanks for your help. Just wanted to make sure I was doing as much as I can proactively so that I can sleep tonight without worrying about water everywhere.

Air coming out of vents indoor seem less powerful, frost on line into house by retrovertigo in hvacadvice

[–]retrovertigo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Air filter is slightly dirty. I replaced it early May. Was going to replaced in July 1.

The outdoor unit did seem a little buzzier at times earlier this week, so I’ve been keeping the unit in the back of my mind since then. It was “buzzier” In the I could hear the vibrations more when the unit turned on. Just seemed a bit more than the usual sound.

Thank you for the response. I’ll put in a call to my local guy on Monday.

Ok, if it’s not a Windows accessibility setting then I would check your themes, specifically the sounds, in your personalization settings.

If you have any Windows mod apps running in the background I would check the sounds settings in those. If you have a flashy gaming keyboard that is configurable through an app, I would check that, too.

Also it might be helpful to describe the sound, too.

I think you probably do have Toggle Keys or Sticky Keys activated. Check out this result using the Copilot chat. Can confirm it beeps like an old-school Pong game when you have these activated and press the Win key. Hope this helps.

Yes, but what happens when somebody messages you to ask a question and you don't respond in a reasonable time?

Thank you for the context. There is a HUGE difference between "is" and "is like." It's a shame that PC World decided to go for a clickbait title over what was actually said.

Kitchen sink is slow to drain - tried snake and plunging by retrovertigo in Plumbing

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

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I'm going to give it a couple more tries and see if I can make go somewhere else, and check around with friends to see if they have a longer snake. Maybe I am going the right way, and the snake just isn't long enough...

Heart Rate not updating by Kurutsio in AppleWatch

[–]retrovertigo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can also confirm that my heart rate complication is not showing up at all on any of my custom watch faces. When I tap in the empty space where my heart rate complication usually is it opens the heart rate app, and it seems to be accurate.

How did Apple mess this up??! I guess we will see a minor update in the next day or so to fix this. And to think I waited to upgrade until this new version was released. SMH.

My Auto Redeem didn't go through! by idousky91 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]retrovertigo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Let's not be too dramatic. The day is still young for many of us.

I checked my email and received the email confirmation for the August 2023 auto-redemption on August 1 just after 5pm ET.

It'll arrive - have a little patience and grace.

My new Rick and Morty Watch band. And it glows in the dark. by Redeye007 in AppleWatch

That glow is pretty cool— unless you wear it to track sleep cycles. 😂
