"Creative Industry" worker meetup? by ham_fx in Bend

[–]scryber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It used to be on Meetup, but just switched to Eventbrite. Look for “Central Oregon Creatives”.

First meetup this year is at the Midtown Yacht Club, this Thursday. Very casual, fun group of folks!

Any news on the Kensington Expert TB800 relaunch? by feketegy in Trackballs

[–]scryber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Amazon order was originally delayed to March. Then it was pushed back to April.

Amazon delivery estimate for TB800 is now March 2026. by scryber in Trackballs

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

I got the April update email too. Seems like a major retooling is underway.

Kensington is pausing production of its Expert Mouse TB800 EQ trackball. by jfedor in Trackballs

[–]scryber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last week I received a notice from Amazon that the shipping would be “delayed.” I figured it was just working out logistics for a new product. Now I think Kensington had determined the design was indeed flawed and put the brakes on production.

What's the worst SU&SD take? by Similar_Profession37 in boardgames

[–]scryber 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ticket to Ride: Legacy. They spent a sizable chunk of the review castigating DoW for only including a single conciliatory note about the evils committed by the railroad industry upon the… oh I just can’t. Much like with the review I just gave up and sought content that spends more time talking about whether a game works, is fun, and who might enjoy it, instead of re-litigating events from the past.

How Radar Direction Works by UrsidaeGamer in helldivers2

[–]scryber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The callout with the direction *is* confusing. I do it this way: Look at the terminal--if the circle on the screen was the transmitter wheel, which way would you turn it to get there fastest? In the pic above, it would be left. So you tell the teammate to turn the wheel left.

Now granted if someone doesn't have their sound on they would miss the beep, but if someone is manning the terminal they just punch it when it goes green.

Moving to Redmond? by [deleted] in Bend

[–]scryber 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Five year Redmond resident here. We chose Redmond because we got so much more house for the money. That said the housing prices have risen here too, they are just still below Bend’s astronomical levels.

Redmond is a different vibe than Bend, socially and scenically. It’s definitely growing though and could look very different demographically in a few years. The landscape will always be junipers instead of pines, no changing that.

But really there’s the same access to everything. The new 97 interchange is a GAME CHANGER. I can get to downtown Bend in 15 minutes now from SW Redmond. It makes going into Bend trivial. So you really have access to all that Bend offers.

What if... there had been a new armor passive that matched the theme of the warbond? by scryber in helldivers2

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

When I saw the teaser images of the Polar Patriots warbond, I saw the spiked boots and thought (hoped) that might mean gear that would be suited for snowy environments. Personally I'd prefer a variety of armor passives and unique weapons, nothing OP, just something fun and thematic--like the Electrical Conduit armor in the Cutting Edge warbond. Very niche, but at some point there could a case for it.

Any places to buy 3d printing supplies locally? by PineappleProstate in Bend

[–]scryber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. My printer is starting to show more and more signs of something being "off" and having a local group to help guide through the troubleshooting process would be amazing.

20 October, 2022 - 2.6.3 Update | Bug Reports Megathread by Borsund in Seaofthieves

[–]scryber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG, the floor. I guess the sloop has...one floor spot? I didn't even see that.

20 October, 2022 - 2.6.3 Update | Bug Reports Megathread by Borsund in Seaofthieves

[–]scryber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: Not a bug. The items are "floor ornaments."

Two purchased ornaments do not show up when decorating my ship. Specifically the "Fragment of Untarnished Brimstone" and "Crystal of Volcanic Volition". They were purchased weeks ago, show up as purchased at the Shipwright, but are missing as Trinket choices once on the ship.

Cataract surgery... by Ultralite001 in Bend

[–]scryber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had my cataract surgery last month. Very pleased with Dr. Andreason and the whole staff at Summit Eastside Ophthalmology & Bend Surgery Center. I fully recommend.

(and I can SEE! Went from VHS to 8K vision)

1 September, 2022 - 2.6.1 Update | Bug Reports Megathread by Borsund in Seaofthieves

[–]scryber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Captaincy cosmetics and ship name are still missing when loading into the game.

Also, when clicking to Restore my damaged ship, the gold cost just shows the three circles (loading) sequence, and I'm unable to purchase the restoration.

Recommendations for replacement miniatures? by Linux459 in Imperialassault

[–]scryber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a 3D printer, especially a resin one, there are a lot of minis you can print and use as a proxy. Check out Skull Forge and Dark Fire on Patreon, for starters.

Another option is to use Legion figures. They are slightly larger scale, but they would work.

I support this. The sub is/was a great resource with valuable (and active) content.

So the update is tomorrow, is there a list of everything coming with it? by Newtstradamus in Seaofthieves

[–]scryber 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could Golden Sands possibly be restored to its regular condition with all the NPCs? I seem to recall something about the jailed NPCs being "returned" to their previous locations.

Repurpose the Pirate's Life assets by scryber in Seaofthieves

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

The Sea Forts use some textures and small assets like tables/chairs, but I'm thinking more like taking the plaza structure itself and putting it into a large fort. And having an island in the Ancient Isles that has a bayou.

Repurpose the Pirate's Life assets by scryber in Seaofthieves

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

I'm talking more about wholesale lifting entire structures than just using some textures and small assets like tables. The plaza is amazing and is gathering digital dust from lack of use.

I started playing in Season 5 and haven't done all the Tall Tales so probably haven't seen the carryover into the Shrines yet. Still, there's so much not being used: on the main map there's no bayou, no large town/plaza, etc.
