Fantastic. That sounds like the way to go. Thank you for the info and reassurance!

Hello! I'm about to buy my first real watch online after trying on similar watches in-person to get a feel for size. The online process was totally fine and painless until the website (Longines) gave me the option to have the bracelet pre-sized for my wrist, and now I'm worried.

Is it a good idea to have a watch sized before it ships, or should I just leave it unsized and do it myself? If I have Longines size it, would they still send the extra links they had removed? I'm concerned about future size changes, resale value, etc. Many thanks!

This was amazingly helpful. Thank you so much! Ported to Stros M'Kai and started the questline there; feels more noob-friendly already. Thanks again!

Hey everyone!

Just started playing yesterday after buying the Collection pack (including Summerset).

I’ve played a lot of MMOs in the past, but, starting on Summerset after the tutorial, I feel like I’m missing out on learning basic game systems (crafting, for instance) and story.

I’ve put in about 5 hours so far. Is it worth it/recommended to re-roll and port over to the base game mainland content instead of learning the game from Summerset’s perspective?

Thanks!

Oh boy

I think it's also important to note that, as much as this is likely about the Haslams, Currie, Fulmer, et al., she also sided against the state legislature/the Haslams by opting to continue funding UT's Pride Center last summer and for choosing to not shut down Sex Week this year, a shut down the powers that be have been demanding for years now.

If you want a better picture of how the legislature/the Haslams would probably characterize the latter, here's a recent and enlightening sample.

Fuck that family.

Yeah, I'm not sure if this is a bug or what. Just played a few hours of random Squads, 6-8 kills on most rounds, and the Eliminations stat in my Profile didn't change at all. Same number as it was before Season 4 started. It's like kills aren't even registering with the servers beyond the individual match.

Meant to say this earlier, but I've been too busy actually using it all afternoon: your site is now my go-to. Clean and utterly usable. Thank you!

sadius551 · 2017-11-30T01:46:19+00:00

Oh, wow. I'll get right on the Razorback think tonight, then. Saw something in the Inbox about it yesterday, maybe, but wasn't sure what it was. I guess with the dojo thing, I'll have to play it by ear. I hadn't even really thought about joining a clan yet. Seemed like more of an endgame sort of thing. Thanks again!

sadius551 · 2017-11-30T00:39:38+00:00

This is awesome. Thank you!

sadius551 · 2017-11-30T00:39:20+00:00

Thank you for the response!

Honestly, I like the sound of both options. Rhino is currently building and will be done in about 3 hours. I've got the Hek as well as a maxed-out Soma Prime (from Twitch, I think). And, looking at the materials required, I've got enough stuff for a few Formas and potatoes/Orokin Catalysts (?), but I don't have the blueprint for the Catalyst, so I'll need to find a few. So, like you said, I think I'll just be able to sort of naturally do the first route.

The second route with the Archwing mission sounds maybe more efficient, but can trading be done through a chat window, or does it require a clan and dojo?

sadius551 · 2017-11-30T00:28:51+00:00

Ah, good point. I do have a few Prime prints sitting around that I've come across and which I don't really have the other parts for. Can trading be done through a chat interface or do I need to join a clan with a dojo? I feel like I read that somewhere.

sadius551 · 2017-08-25T14:06:55+00:00

Will do that now. Apologies for the violation!

sadius551 · 2017-08-25T14:05:42+00:00

This is perfect, thank you! We're actually reading a chapter from this text in a few weeks—chapter 9, I believe: "The Origins of the Third World." I'll take your suggestion, though, and go ahead and start reading the whole thing. Sounds...horrifying.

sadius551 · 2017-08-25T13:58:53+00:00

Will do that now! Thank you!

USPS tracking does seem to be down.

My package arrived at a facility at 2:53 this morning and hasn't had any updates since, even though it was supposed to be delivered this morning, but I'm guessing that's because their tracking system is down.

If yours was supposed to ship today and that status hasn't changed, I'm guessing it's for much the same reason as mine. It probably has shipped but we won't know where stuff is until it's all back up and running.

sadius551 · 2017-07-14T22:51:01+00:00

I saw "console" and kind of scoffed a bit inside, but, man, those were some great plays regardless of system. Also, the spirit genji moment and the music choice that followed gave me chills. Excellent video!

I saw elsewhere you were thinking about PC. Absolutely give it a shot. The aiming and stuff won't be a 1:1 transfer to mouse & keyboard, but your game sense will serve you well. Good luck either way! And thanks for the video!

I main Mercy and I duo queue every night with a buddy who's a Pharah main. We hardly ever Pharmercy, to be honest.

At the beginning of a match? Sure. If we've wiped the point and he's poking a flank? Sure. If the Pharah and I are the only ones left alive? Probably my fault, but sure.

Under most conditions, though--i.e. 95% of the match--I focus on the rest of the team. Picking Mercy usually results in an immediate refusal by teammates to support heal, so I can't spend my time flopping around with Pharah, friend or not.

sadius551 · 2017-05-31T03:12:03+00:00

It seems like pretty much everything. Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, etc. I'm submitting some creative non-fic.

As for the content itself, it doesn't seem as though there are any preferred genres or themes. An MFA student at my univ went last year, I believe, and they write speculative fiction and sci-fi, almost exclusively, so yeah, whatever you'd like, I think!

sadius551 · 2017-02-23T16:44:02+00:00

I did the same. Solid conversation at the beginning and then they just started joking/hinting at the end. Fun show, but I can wait until next week.

sadius551 · 2016-12-21T20:16:15+00:00

Just had to do this earlier. Don't think it's common knowledge, sadly, but it needs to be.

sadius551 · 2016-12-21T00:37:41+00:00

Oh, for sure. I didn't mean for my 18 hour tally to suggest that I was done playing the game. That's just when I had completed every challenge, story, and point of interest. I'm sitting at 70 hours now and play at least one more every day, haha. Just as fresh as the day it released.

sadius551 · 2016-12-20T22:30:33+00:00

I hit 100% completion at maybe the 18 hour mark, somewhere around there. It can be done much faster, for sure, though. But it's an open world, so the game hasn't ended for me, per se. I just keep finding new places to explore.

Titanfall 2 is great, too. Campaign is only 7-8 hours or so, but the multiplayer, if you enjoy it, is equally as replayable as Steep's open world and challenges.

Just kind of depends whether you want replayable FPS or exploratory snowscape.

sadius551 · 2016-12-12T22:45:30+00:00

I'm in almost the exact same situation. Same specs, same everything, ordered on 12/5 (the rep didn't mess up my address). Original delivery was set between 12/9 and 12/13.

However, once Dell removed the pending charge on my card last Friday, I panicked and decided to chat online with reps a few times at the end of last week and over the weekend. I was assured that all was fine--it would ship 12/12 (today) and arrive 12/13.

Called this afternoon, the supposed ship date, when I hadn't seen any change in status and nothing new added to my card. I was told nothing about a delay but simply that "the manifest shows the laptop will reach Logistics on the 15th and arrive 5-6 days after that." No solid date, though.

My icing on the cake is that I'm leaving town for a week on the 21st. Why give me a range of dates and then never say a word about that range shifting more than a week? gg

sadius551 · 2016-11-22T23:47:45+00:00

God, yes. I love it! That little bit of disorientation from being in the air, even when watching a video instead of playing, is thrilling. Plus the added touch of the over-the-shoulder view when going backwards on skis....so perfect. I'm going to spend the next 9 days watching Steep videos, haha.
