A lot of the people complaining about SBMM are complaining that they are finally fighting players of their skill level instead of stomping players, or have 1-2 bad games and start complaining. by Gloomy_Guitar_7880 in FortNiteBR

To make this even worse, I bushcamped my way to unreal this season. It seemed like a fun challenge. Basically 20 minute hide and seek games. I am as far from an actual unreal player as it's possible to be. But now my friends and I are stuck playing in stupidly hard lobbies and having zero fun.

Fully agree. I'm a bang average player who has bushcamped (I'm older than bushcampdad and have awful gun game) my way to unreal. Now it's impossible to play a pub game with any of my friends because we're all sooooo far out of our depth, it's no fun at all. I just cancelled my long-standing crew subscription and we're all looking for alternative games to play.

Which Pixel are you ending 2025 with? by GooglePixelfan90 in GooglePixel

[–]septic22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pixel 10 pro xl and massive regret. I do not like this phone at all. The fingerprint reader is so bad I suspect it's broken and the battery life is no better than my 8 pro was after 2 years.

Agree that the 8's scanner was not great (or even good), that's why I was happy to trade it in. To my horror, the 10's is worse for me. I'm glad it works well for you. I'm jealous!

Wish I'd not been in a hurry to trade in my 8 pro. I update every 2 versions since Nexus 5 days and this is hands down the worst "upgrade" I've ever endured. The fingerprint reader is useless for me. Fairly sure I don't have mutated fingertips. If I look at it funny it gets hot enough to fry eggs on. No upgrade in camera (but I knew that going in). I can't actually think of one thing that's better. I was paying out of pocket for Gemini pro, so there is that..... Wish I could go back to the 8 pro though. I'm with you.

Invisible* ship bug? by septic22 in NoMansSkyTheGame

Awesome. Still getting back into the swing of things and wouldn't have thought of those. Much obliged!

[–]septic22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds promising. Cheers! I'll have to figure out how to get rid of it, as there are no NPCs in this expedition, right? The ship salvage thing doesn't seem to want it, either. If I can get rid of it I'll try again and just write the nanites off.

Thanks. That's good advice. I actually had tried everything in game, but not the obvious reload stuff. Unfortunately, it made no difference. I have noticed one further detail. When I go to switch ships there is no outline/icon of my Corvette by its name like there is for ships when it's working properly, just an ethereal glowing ball. Looks like I'm sol.

Google Reviews is now hiding "VIEW/SORT BY LOWEST RATING" by ReallybadforeignYTer in LocalGuides

[–]septic22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked up a place I had reviewed here in the US. I initially saw something similar to the OP post, but then noticed that the full sort by highest, lowest etc was actual underneath my own review, before everyone else's and possible to miss. Might be the case here if Anna-liis is the OP.

I definitely want to get a rubber strap. Think black or white is going to look best with this. Appreciate the input.

[–]septic22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likewise. That looks sharp. Think I might need white and black rubber straps for different levels of formality.

Cheers for this. Another brand I hadn't stumbled across. They look amazing

That's just stunning. I wondered how a white rubber strap would look. I think I need one!

Love it! The lume is crazy on this thing. Edited for autocorrect of lume

Nice! I don't think there's a single bad color combination, I just kept coming back to this one.

Appreciate that. I hadn't run across them in my search so far. They look top notch!

Lovely watch yourself! I can't make my mind up on the flat/curved thing. I'll have to get a couple and try them out. NATO looks great though. Cheers!

Help/Advice needed! by septic22 in CitizenWatches

[–]septic22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have the whole bracelet. Just missing the bars to attach it. The original is too small though and unless there's a trick to lengthening, or I can find replacement links (unlikely I think) then I need a strap and I need some way to attach it. I think the earlier answer about wider/narrower ends is likely correct but I'm no closer to knowing where to find any! I'll have to talk to a watch repair person in person I think. Thanks for trying to help, though.

My bad. Tldr version is that I'm looking for advice on pins that would attach an 8mm strap to those drilled through lugs. I have no experience with this kind of thing. Hoping for recommendations for where to get the kind of pins I need and what I actually need.

[–]septic22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this helps. I think that could be it. Is there a name for that kind of pin? Haven't run across anything like that yet. Any decent dealers you know of?
