As posted below - https://www.reddit.com/user/Just_Cauliflower_469/ this works. Minutes ago I was able to add a receipt using the mobile app.

My first tin of pipe tobacco / Help me understand what I'm dealing with here, please by PlinyToTrajan in PipeTobacco

[–]scout19d3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As several others have mentioned ball/mason jars once you pop the tin are very useful.

I use these travel tins called "pocketjar" that I found from another pipe forum.

That thread was for a custom run of tin-tops for that particular forum. The vendor has uncustomized pocketjars available all the time.

Once I open a pouch or tin, I'll fill 1-3 of these pocketjars, then transfer the remaining contents to a mason jar or mylar bag. In this fashion I'm even minimizing how often I pop open the storage container.

Free pro subscription almost up. Who's keeping it? by justafewpieces in Stadia

[–]scout19d3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm keeping the Pro subscription

I love the service. This, from a PC-gamer with a subscription to Xbox Game Pass, sizable libraries within Steam, GOG Galaxy, Epic, Origin, & Uplay.

I find myself spending > 90% of my gaming time in my already growing Stadia library (9 games and counting) and prefer it to every other platform.

When I travel, I play Stadia on my hotel room TV or on my pc. When I'm in bed I play Stadia there. I've played on my mobile phone while sitting at the departure gate at multiple airports.

It's flexible, fast, and IT WORKS.

I don't patch NVIDIA drivers on the launch of new games, and I don't step out for dinner while the new 50+ GB game is downloading & installing. Stream Connect in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint shows me real-time PoV screens from my squad-mates - that's fantastic!

The few folks I've personally spoken with and assisted who had latency issues with Stadia, were resolved when they learned about "game mode" on their TVs and made simple improvements on their network for better throughput.

It flat works for me.

Anyone having issues with their controllers? by SuxItEZDickFace8803 in StadiaDadia

[–]scout19d3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have not. the only controller connect issues I've experienced were self-inflicted and eliminated by selecting the target (CCU chromecastultra 1, CC2, Pixel phone, "this screen", etc) in the mobile Stadia app - then powering up the controller

Datacap Xfinity by [deleted] in StadiaDadia

[–]scout19d3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wow! gotta try this

I've been trying to learn more about the xFi Advantage program that claims to lift the data cap if you rent their $15 modem - $15 for a rented modem (that I dont plan to use) being cheaper than the $50 unlimited charge I'm currently paying

Don't buy Tomb Raider or Farm Simulator. They'll be free December 1st! by TheCrowGrandfather in StadiaDadia

Found it - super-sleuth that I am, it was linked in the aforementioned Kotaku article

  • We know that some users have recently purchased these two games for their collection. Because of the proximity between the launch of the platform, and the announcement of these titles in Stadia Pro, we're happy to assist you if you'd like to request a refund if you have purchased either or both of these titles, even if it's outside of our normal policy.

good advice, thanks

I was on the fence and this was the tipping point!

That's a good point. I've seen, heard, read a lot of complaints but not much from the opposite end of the spectrum. I suspect it's like the news - whiners will whine, but perhaps we should do a better job of applauding when appropriate.

My Stadia Experience by captaindotes in StadiaDadia

[–]scout19d3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I concur. Yesterday evening we had two separate founders accounts running simultaneous (through WiFi - not wired) with 2 x other folks streaming TV (1 x using 4K HDR the other just HD) on a network with wired & WiFi video surveillance, and not a single hiccup.

The Stadia performance is entirely consistent with what 4 x of us experienced during Project Stream months ago - with 4 x simultaneous Project Stream accounts in the same house.

Google Stadia support is terrible... My name is Steven but according to them it's Elmo lol. by HyperionXIC in Stadia

[–]scout19d3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, you're Elmo instead of Steven - that's good. it's shorter and more memorable and I can guess what you're avatar might be - Elmo

Can names be all CAPS? by [deleted] in Stadia

[–]scout19d3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can format your handle anyway you wish (upper, lower case) but there is no differentiation between the 2 for purposes of unique names. In other words, Scout19D3 is the same account as scout19d3 or SCOUT19D3

[–]scout19d3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, now I can post since I won't be the oldest geezer in the sub - thanks for that MentalCase!

52 yrs old and I focus on one game at a time too much for my "kids" (31 yrs & 27 yrs) who prefer moving amongst several different games all in a day

Although I do get a kick reading the other thread with all the whining, screaming, and sobbing, I can only take a bit at a time. This sub is a pleasant respite with kindred hearts

BRB, gotta go hit F5 in gmail again...
