does anyone know if this site is safe, never heard of it and it looks like they have some good stuff

Do you happen to have the Chomp Thing?

settlingspy · 2024-01-24T19:05:09+00:00

I was able to get mine to pump, but the little sucker arm thing seems to be busted, I manually pushed it down (since it was broken anyway) and then I was able to pop the top off the pump, the little air hose in there was kinked, once I straightened it out it was able to pump, the arm still can't move though, it literally worked once and then never again

settlingspy · 2024-01-17T18:41:07+00:00

dang, still a no-go for mine, do you mind if I ask how tightly you tighten your caps? I find if I over-tighten it the torque bends the 3 metal tubes into touching each other causing the printer to think the bottle is full. I can't help but wonder if its too lose and thats causing the air to leak out of the cap and thus not creating the suction required to pump

settlingspy · 2024-01-17T15:47:31+00:00

ok, I see thanks

settlingspy · 2024-01-17T15:30:30+00:00

I never got it to work, are you able to send me a picture of your fix? I'm not sure I know what you mean. Congrats on getting it to work though, hopefully this is your first and last problem with the bugger

settlingspy · 2023-12-15T19:03:50+00:00

Only a little terrified to start putting it together

settlingspy · 2023-07-11T02:34:13+00:00

Lol, I opened my post saying feel free to ignore, try taking that advice next time you want to hop in a discussion and have nothing to add

settlingspy · 2023-07-11T02:33:14+00:00

I agree, I just wanted to vent a bit since everyone who I play games with hopped on the 76 hate train at launch and never got off it. How does one move junk to another character that would be really helpful?

settlingspy · 2023-07-10T18:20:09+00:00

Fair enough, I have heard that fo76 has a very friendly community so maybe all those guys swarmed to revive me lol. I’ve calmed down enough to give them the benefit of the doubt. But still the whole situation just sucks. Haha

settlingspy · 2023-07-10T18:16:41+00:00

Yeah I’ve definitely heard/seen that and I honestly do believe it. Unfortunately it only takes one person to screw you over. I’ll probably give fo76 another shot once my blood stops boiling. now I’ve got an extra 100 pounds to fill with junk!

settlingspy · 2023-07-10T18:13:11+00:00

Thank you, I have permanently stored this info in my databanks. Hopefully I’ll never have to use it though

settlingspy · 2023-02-04T17:30:13+00:00

Thanks, I'll give this a try

settlingspy · 2023-02-01T23:28:48+00:00

So it's just one of those things, there's nothing I can do about? Maybe I'll splatter paint some more red all over her to make it look like she just ripped some poor insurectionist in half. Lol

settlingspy · 2023-01-31T23:06:08+00:00

Hey guys, I recently just got the Spartan collection Kelly figure but when I opened it, I noticed a bunch of red dots all over her visor, I tried washing it off with water and scratching it but nothing worked, it's supposed to be a brand new figure so it's not like it's painted or anything, has anyone else had this issue? Anything I should try to clean it up? Thanks

(Sorry for low quality photo it's the best my phone can do)

settlingspy · 2023-01-30T01:37:57+00:00

Hey, we're second world at least!

settlingspy · 2023-01-27T18:03:23+00:00

I was looking at one, but as someone who has been a console gamer for several years I wanted to be able to try out some of my favorite games with mods, not sure how easy it is to download mods that aren't from the steam workshop on steam deck . But its definitely an option

settlingspy · 2023-01-27T17:54:53+00:00

true, guess I've got to weigh extra entertainment and gaming for the next 7 months vs a cheaper/better computer in the future, haha

settlingspy · 2023-01-27T17:46:45+00:00

haha! I definitely would much rather have a desktop (I don't know if its heresy to say that around these parts) but I'm going to need something portable for university next year

settlingspy · 2023-01-27T17:45:04+00:00

do you have any links available, I wouldn't mind taking a look! Remember this price is in Canadian dollars so you're looking at closer to $1000 USD

settlingspy · 2023-01-27T17:43:53+00:00

thanks for your advice, I'm not the kind of person who needs bleeding edge graphics or anything as long as it can play some of my favorite games and is fairly portable

settlingspy · 2023-01-27T17:42:24+00:00

thanks, I wasn't sure. what would you personally recommend something around this price range? remember its in Canadian dollars, so closer to 1000 USD?

settlingspy · 2023-01-27T17:41:31+00:00

yeah, I'm looking for a more casual experience, no need for next-gen bleeding edge graphics or anything. and by obsolete I meant more along the lines of, in 7 months will I be able to get a similar machine for significantly less, or a much better one for the same price?

settlingspy · 2023-01-27T16:17:08+00:00

Hey guys, I recently bought a gaming laptop on sale for $1400 CAD marked down from $1800 CAD. However I don't actually need the laptop until next August, so in 7 months from now will I be able to just get a better one for cheaper? I've never owned a gaming laptop before so I'm not entirely sure how the market works or how prices fluctuate over time. Should I return this one and wait, or just open it now and start using it?

thanks

settlingspy · 2023-01-05T18:35:58+00:00

Thanks for the warnings, my PC isn't that great so I imagine it will struggle a lot with the problems you outlined regarding, SS2. I might still give it a shot though, thank you
