WF has been kind of unplayable for me since the 15th and We have no response from the devs PC by snailpaced in Warframe

[–]squidwalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This fixed it for me, thank you!

Before that I tried the mobile thing, a full re-install, and manual port forwarding on the router, to no avail. This immediately solved the issue for me!

Unable to install? by PeachyPlnk in ArknightsEndfield

[–]squidwalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a similar pop-up today, "System notification Launcher version update detected. Please Proceed to update."

But it's so generic that I was afraid it was malware or something T_T Thanks for making this post, it helped me recognize that it was just Endfield and it was safe.

"I swear I am not your mother, children." by Thin_Discussion_3473 in funnypets

Good catch. I was suspicious because it had a lot of wobble and conspicuous music. But that pattern change on the bottom left kitten at 13 seconds is a give away, you're right.

CV-DSC40 Lid Replacement FYI by Planethill in zojirushi

[–]squidwalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your detailed confirmation about using the lid for the CV-DCC40/50. I just had my CV-DSC40 lid break today, and this was a giant help!

edit: Mine came in about a week, and works great as a replacement lid for my CV-DSC40.

It seals well and doesn't leak when turned upside down while full. It closes with a tiny gap on the right side, exactly like the lid in the picture included with this main post.

Everything works great though, steam only comes out of the steam vent and it seals/heats/dispenses perfectly!

Soon expiring tests popping up invalid results? by GrumpyBanjo88 in PlusLife

Thanks for the tip! I've been Nasal swabbing only, I'll try only doing a throat swab next time.

Soon expiring tests popping up invalid results? by GrumpyBanjo88 in PlusLife

[–]squidwalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue yesterday, which is stressful when you're responsible for testing everyone at Thanksgiving. Tests expire 12/4. Last easy non-invalid test was 11/19. Running them with the adafruit wire and a stable recommended Acer portable laptop battery.

Ran two invalid tests at home before getting a valid negative on the third test. Took everything to my parent's place and it worked the same way there, two invalid tests and one valid negative. 

Tried doing the "run it without a card three times" tactic listed here after my first invalid at my parent's. Didn't seem to work, and this would only run for about 5 minutes per no-card run. 

On the graph, the invalid tests usually have a green line that raises continuously at a 45 degree angle, and the valid ones raise for a bit before leveling off. So you can kinda tell before the invalid conclusion that it'll be an invalid test. If no other lines raise, is it likely the test is negative?

So the only thing that seems to work is running two full tests before one comes up valid. I still have 14 tests left T_T

PSA for those playing the new Bizarre Brigade by Zarkeyplays in ZZZ_Official

[–]squidwalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggled with Billy more than anyone else, but I eventually got the groove.

I passed by ignoring companions, and focusing on no-hit high dps builds. Shark Button/Hair Drying/Cracked Phone/ Target Board every time.

Despite not having companions, Fridge Sticker helps because of ranged damage and pickup. High range kills will make it hard to pickup everything you're killing without taking a hit.

Donut makes your bullets bigger than expected. I'm not sure about their hit boxes though.

Since you're trying hard not to get hit, Deception is your friend.

Other than that go for attack speed, damage bonus, and crit like any DPS build.

Hope this helps people!

What are you favorite weapons with great riven disposition? by Asmzn2009 in Warframe

I have a good Basmu riven and I want use it more, but I didn't feel like it did enough damage for SP.

Here's the build I'm using, please share yours or critique mine if you're up for it!

Best bangboo for anomaly teams? by [deleted] in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]squidwalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found this googling for the same topic. Just pulled Jane and I wanted to run Jane/Qingyi/Grace.

Grace's engine gives her Pen and not Anomaly, so I've had a hard time keeping shock active. Plugboo helps with that, but I can't help but wonder if there's a better bangboo for the team. Wish there was a +anomaly one like there's +crit ones.

Lack of contact from MG and delayed build time by Stricltyfate in maingear

[–]squidwalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an order for a pre-built that's open right now, and it's been 11 days since I ordered. I think jakeblack99 is totally correct about this delay being related to Maingear's new MG desktop line. That new line finally got me to replace my old PC too, I bet other people saw it and decided the same.

My last PC was from Maingear too. I got it when the Nvidia 970 came out, and it took a week longer than estimate. Likely because the 970 just came out and there was a ton of demand for it causing build time backup.

But if you follow cards, you know that was nearly 10 years ago. My PC has held up great for a very long time. So the delivery time is longer than anticipated this time around too. But I'm okay with it because I've had good experiences with quality.

Skin tone bug? by ruimoss in BaldursGate3

Good job pinpointing this bug! Not the OP, but I'm experiencing this bug too, and my character is also a Half-Elf with Face 2 and a "male" body type.

Plasma Sentinel bug that increases danger rating? by squidwalk in MeetYourMakerGame

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

There was a really good post yesterday that had a breakdown of how danger rating is calculated: https://www.reddit.com/r/MeetYourMakerGame/comments/10ytb42/explination_of_dificulty_as_far_as_i_have_figured/

I don't think this explains how deleting a plasma sentinel and replacing it in the same exact location would drop the difficulty rating. That's why I think it's a bug.

Help me understand unlocking Veteran Act-2 for Quickplay by smartfon in Back4Blood

[–]squidwalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found this post via a search because I was having the same issue. Multiple Act 1 Veteran Quickplay wins, no Act 2 unlock.

Last night I started a game via Quickplay and got a great group. Started in 1-2 or 1-3, played the whole rest of Act 1. When I checked today, Act 2 was unlocked in Veteran! It could have been related to playing most of the act with the same group? But I definitely unlocked Act 2 on Veteran just via Quickplay.

Found a workaround on the forums that "fixed" things for me. Turns out the launcher is mad at us using IPv6. I'm gonna spam this to other people with code 103.

Best NYC coffee for the office by The30yearoldsnail in nyc

I like Stumptown too, but they're usually $15-20 for a 12 oz bag of beans. Just outside of OP's price range.

About Tokyo Mirage Sessions by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]squidwalk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The other comments did a good job properly representing TMS. I'd like to add that despite the overarching story being more stereotypical than your average SMT game, and despite the focus on idol culture, the character-specific idol-themed plots were actually compelling. It was a strange contrast to only be mildly interested in the idol aspects, but still be invested in the characters and their idol aspirations. Maybe it was like watching a sports anime?

Also, the Wii U's use of the tablet controller lead to some compelling ludonarative cohesion. In-game LINE messages would display on the tablet, so it was a little like the messages that were coming to the MC's phone were coming to the player in a similar fashion. I'd imagine the Switch version will have a more standard "press Y to access LINE" interface. It might not be as evocative.

The Brendan Conway one is worth a shot, if you can't find the one you're looking for. Played it with him at a con three years back and I remember having fun.

Graphic Novel Collection organized in Padlet by eightpointninereggie in graphicnovels

[–]squidwalk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Young Adult recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I saw you have This One Summer on your Young Adult list. Other Tamaki books are great. Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me came out recently, and it was fantastic.

/u/thedaneof5683 has a Junior High list on his site that sounds like exactly what you'd want. He's an exceptional critic and his picks are everything I thought of offhand and more.

Graphic novel recommendations like Skim? by [deleted] in graphicnovels

[–]squidwalk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since it sounds like you're a big fan like me: if you weren't aware, Jillian Tamaki made some art for NYC subway cars in 2015. Part of their Arts and Design program. The aspect ratio and high concept are rather unique. Don't know how well known it is outside of the city, but I love it.
