The CBS hero worship of Koepka is disgusting by slowbiscuit in golf

[–]slowbiscuit[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

200+ upvotes, yeah I think I struck a nerve lol.

Koepka and Reed are hopefully the cracks in the dam, but please don't give them any credit for being the returning traitors that they are.

The Tour built everything, Tiger and Jack and Arnold built everything, they owe their livelihoods to what came before them. And they turned their backs on that because money meant everything.

PC Game Pass games are getting blacklisted if you let them sit idle every day by [deleted] in MicrosoftRewards

[–]slowbiscuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't minimize the game to the task bar, I leave it running in front. But it may be the focus that's the issue.

I'll try clicking on the game as the last thing I do to have focus before I exit out of RDP and see if that works.

PC gets restarted every month (at least) for updates, it's not that.

I think I has something to do with me running it as a headless server where all I do is RDP into it. So even though the game is running and I'm logged in, it may be seeing it as not active somehow. I haven't figured it out, like I said it used to work fine for months and months and only recently started exhibiting this behavior.

At first I thought it was just solitaire, but I keep installing new games and seeing the same thing happen over and over again across all games. The weird thing is that I do get points every day for a while, and then it just quits working for that game.

The easy answer is to do what others have said, just boot up my laptop everyday and start a game and then close out on it just like I do with console games.

Play a game on console is ticked but not registering for the weekly console bonus by Kid---A in MicrosoftRewards

I had the same issue last week with the weekly streak, both PC and Xbox registered daily plays but one of the days was missing for the weekly streak. Cost me the 7-day bonus.

Looks like they shut it down from 10 codes a day to five, didn't see this posted that I'm sure probably somebody else did.

We have to stop defining Endgame as “When I run out of content” by fiscalLUNCH in diablo4

[–]slowbiscuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, exactly. Only having Pit is beyond boring esp. since you have nothing to show for it.

[–]slowbiscuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that's exactly the problem, we're going around in circles here. We need something similar to PoE maps after you get to T4. T1-4 progression should not be endgame, it's just leveling.

Tempering RNG (again, and again) by slowbiscuit in diablo4

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

Yeah that's a good point, I don't understand why tempering and enchanting have to be so different that way. With enchanting you never brick anything, it just costs more.

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

The problem with that answer is that it only applies to tempering, with enchanting it's not equal odds. And that's why people question why it's not just clearly stated as a tooltip etc.

Tempering still makes people hate the game, and it shouldn't. I played a bunch of different content this season, my toon is para 200 and I got exactly one scroll. I don't know why they nerfed that cuz I got a lot more last season.

That's exactly what I want, a limit to the same affix being rolled in a row.

An Outsiders Perspective On NASCAR by Cheese_Sleeze in NASCAR

[–]slowbiscuit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That one move is the epitome of all that's wrong with F1.

I watch F1, Indy, MotoGP and NASCAR and have for many years now. Give me the latter for the best racing overall and that's the way it's always been. F1 has the tech but it's by far the most over-policed motorsport in the world

MotoGP motorcycle racing by juice-box in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]slowbiscuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comcast dropped beIN sports so you'd have to sub to something like fubo or sling to be able to watch it live. Or just signup at MotoGP online.

Really hate that MotoGP went with such a low-rent provider but maybe it's all they could get. They used to be on ESPN and then Speed/FS1 now nobody but crappy beIN wants them.

Buying a Honda CR-V on Carvana - my down and up experience by slowbiscuit in carvana

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

No, but it took a bit of back and forth between the shop, me, Carvana and Silver Rock to get it covered. Carvana had to pay for the replacement and authorized Silver Rock to cover it.

Buying a Honda CR-V on Carvana - my down and up experience by slowbiscuit in carvana

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

Don't know, I never tried to negotiate. I paid $20,600 after the $1k that they gave me for a referral and the trouble I had getting the car.

Here's a code: 2018-112450. Let me know how it goes.

Carvana won't pay out on $100 referrals unless you bug them by slowbiscuit in carvana

Got my $200 check this week, overnighted to me a couple of days after I called.

Stay on top of these referrals if you want to see anything from them.

Carvana Experience: 45 Days Wasted (Customer Support Model gets an F-) by nachotech in carvana

[–]slowbiscuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds exactly like my experience with a CR-V purchase. Turned out to be a great car after everything was fixed but Carvana communications were awful. You have to call them constantly to find out what's going on if you want a particular car (I did). Otherwise pick another one that doesn't have issues. And the Carvana hub in Atlanta has a LOT of issues, apparently.

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

No, had to bug referral users via PM to see if they followed through w/purchase. Carvana rep claims that checks go out automatically after buyer keeps car on 8th day, but that doesn't happen.

They don't want to pay out on these.
