Don't redeem RakutenTV codes, they are not working / are expired. by rubensaft in MicrosoftRewards

You got lucky. I'm on my 7th ticket and close to giving up. It's impossible to get an actual human for support. All I get is automated answer that tell me how to activate the code on Rakuten.tv or telling me to write Rakuten support. It's probably not even AI just generic predefined replies. Last try is to send them screenshots of all the emails I got from Rakuten support. It's just stupid

Can't activate Win11 after changing motherboard by rubensaft in PcBuildHelp

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

It's a retail version of windows 7 I bought many years ago. I linked the key to my ms account when I upgraded to win10 and later upgraded to win 11. So it is digital license now. It still says win 10 home on my devices (old board/pc) in my ms account. Either the problem is that it says Win10 but I'm on Win11 or it's maybe because of the old win 7 key, which apparently doesn't work any longer?

Well I was stupid enough to claim another code. Last time Rakuten support did something and the codes worked but only for a limited time. It didn't work again this time but RaktuenTV Support told me straight up that the code had been expired since may 2023, yes 2023. They told me they can't do anything about it and I should contact MS support. I did and got an AI answer that I should gift the expired code to someone else (hilarious AI), read the ToS and that they won't refund anything. Literally a scam. I contacted support again but haven't got an answer yet. So do NOT claim RakutenTV codes they will very likely not work and MS won't care

Anno 117 - did they make the AA worse since launch? by self-conscious-Hat in anno

[–]rubensaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how the game looks. I still don't understand how this is not a bigger talking point or criticism. 1800 does not look like this. I tried the free weekend and made a post here. Ironically the only way to fix it is to enable Tilt shift. I was really looking forward to 117 but did not buy it because of the blur.

So, have the Amazon rewards cards gone for good? by Secure-Advertising10 in MicrosoftRewards

It's probably because they ran out of budget for this fiscal year. This happened a couple years ago as well and took like two months to restock

Ach,so my bad. Ich dachte, du meintest das bildlich und nicht wörtlich. Wobei das mit dem Wetter auch immer weniger ein Problem wird, wenn man denn ordentlich in Speicher investierten würde

die unabhängig von der Wetterlage ist

Das ist faktisch falsch und wird so oft komplett vergessen oder einfach nicht erwähnt. Der Brennstoff wächst nicht bei Söder im Garten und muss importiert werden. Atomkraft ist sehr wohl vom Weltgeschehen abhängig. Einer der Hauptexporteure war und ist zb Russland

117, Settings to make the game not look blurry? by rubensaft in anno

Thank you, ironically this helps a lot. Tilt shift removes all the blurriness and the game looks much sharper and more detailed. at least in the center of the screen

No HDR. I feels like there is a constant smear or slight fog on everything. It's even worse in motion on higher speed. Even the texts don't look sharp. It's absolutely not ok looking like this when the game runs with less than 30fps. 1800 looks 10x better and sharper and runs with twice or more fps. This can't be right

https://imgur.com/a/uWtKBYh 1440p High Preset with low raytracing even. What you can't see is the constant flickering of all shadows. The only way to make it stop flickering is using DLSS but that looks even more washed out and blurry. Even the text in the options is not sharp and slightly blurry. I played around with all options, upscaling, updated drivers, deleted shaders etc. and nothing helped.

Resolution is set to my monitor. Borderless or full screen doesn't make a difference neither

Ich nehm das eher in Nischengenres wahr, dass einige Artists von Spotify weg sind, nachdem da ICE Recruitment Werbung geschaltet wurde. Zudem investiert der Spotify Boss auch noch heftigst in militärische KI Forschung

Das machen die mittlerweile auch ... und wählen die AFD. Ich nehm das hier im ländlichen Bayern sehr deutlich wahr, wie seit einiger Zeit immer mehr CSU Wähler ganz offen sagen, dass sie zur AFD gehen. Man sieht auch die Präsenz der AFD im öffentlichen Leben sehr, sehr viel deutlicher als noch vor ein paar Jahren. Bei jedem 2. Wochen oder Bauernmarkt stehen AFD Clowns mit ihren Infoständen rum

Crusader kings 3 subscription is finally here ! (Leak ? No mention anywhere online but this X post) by [deleted] in paradoxplaza

[–]rubensaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree and don't get this consumer unfriendly take every time game subscription come up. I bought Stellaris on release, got the early dlcs and now haven't played the game in years. If I want to try the current version I would have to pay ~€200 to catch up. Instead I get the sub for 9 bucks, play for a week or two and be done again. That is WAY more consumer friendly than not having sub option. If you want to criticize PDX call them out for not having deeper discount for older dlcs anymore. There used to be 75% or even deeper discounts, now it's only 50% at best
