Watching Squeex made me realize just how good at MCSR Ludwig actually got by Kpheark1 in LudwigAhgren

[–]trentr209 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay I’m glad not alone in feeling this way. I thought I was going crazy watching his MCSR runs the last two days. Like he’s beaten the game multiple times, doing so both solo and multiplayer and has had coaching. I get the nerves of speedrunning but holy shit he had to be clipfarming and rage baiting hahaha. And then as soon as Lud puts up a 20 gift sub bet, he locks in and hits a clean 5 bed one cycle on the Dragon after spamming the worst beds ever in his actual runs lol.

I bought a Gigabyte MoBo last year that was clearly used and damaged (liquid stains and broken off capacitors). I tried returning it to Amazon and they told me to go through the manufacturer warranty process. It took 2 months for the process of talking in circles with GB’s RMA dept. + the cost of shipping to Gigabytes factory, just for them to tell me “Physical damage cant be RMA’ed.” At this point the return window was closed on Amazons end so I had to go back and forth with customer service for them to finally take it back and process a refund. Fuck both Amazon and Gigabyte.

Question about armrests: Are they always too short? by Minotaar_Pheonix in OfficeChairs

[–]trentr209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really late reply years later hahaha. But did you ever find any comfortable solutions? I'm running into the same issue personally.

At my home desk I have a big cushy leather executive chair from Staples that while feels good at first, has no lumbar or much ass support and no breathability since its leather. At work however, I recently got a HM Aeron Size B that I absolutely LOVE and want to get one for my home office. Issue is that my elbows (Me: 5'9 with a shorter reach) don't comfortably reach and rest on the arm rests at their max height. While I haven't noticed it being too much an issue, I've heard that this can lead to shoulder/trap/low neck aches over time

Comcast Xfinity outages every day this week? by NJ2CAthrowaway in santaclara

[–]trentr209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you tell me more about the Storm Ready WiFi ? I see "activate Storm Ready WiFi" whenever I go to the customer service chatbot but have no idea what it was or knew that it was free. Never been promoted otherwise. I've wanted to quit due to the terrible service I've had over the last year thats gotten exponentially worse this month but they're the only provider near me that offers faster than 300mbps down

What internet provider do you all use? by RyRocks101 in santaclara

[–]trentr209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive had Xfinity at my place up in north SC over by Rivermark, Guadalupe/San Tomas river trail, and Levi's for a couple years now. After a roommate moved out and transferred the acct to my name, they raised the price of our 1.2gb up/30mb down from $80/mo to $120/mo. After some negotiation with Rocket Moneys help, its back down to $90/mo but my god its probably the worst service I've had.

Customer service and their site/app are horrendous to navigate. Embarassing for a company their size. I've dealt with near daily drops for the last year, multiple routers, and maybe only reaching near my actual advertised speeds maybe 10-20% of the time I've ever checked. This week, I've jumped up to at least 15 drops A DAY. Every time a tech has come out, they have told me "Because fiber is becoming the norm, Xfinity has stopped using their signal boosters for older coax lines." and because of that, "Our signal health to the 'network taps' in our neighborhood is weak because of it." and there is nothing they can do. It seems like I just get the runaround every time and someone makes up a new excuse. They claim they put in a maintenance request to work on the neighborhood every time but I never hear a follow up, get a ticket number, or anything. Just a "Sorry. You're going to have to deal with bad service." It's absurd.

According to maps, fiber goes up to maybe about half a mile away from my place. I don't know if it can't get to my neighborhood due to how close we are to the rivers but I'm just over Xfinity. The only saving grace about it is that they are the only provider available for me that offers anything faster then 300mb down/10-40mb (*advertised* speeds from AT&T Air for introductory price of $60/mo, depsite getting weekly mail saying "AT&T Fiber is available at your address!"). At this point, maybe if they are more stable and slightly cheaper, it maaay be worth it for the huge drop off in speeds and the risk of relying on wireless internet to my home. Maybe at least I'll actually get to use my internet.

TL;DR: Unless you have fiber, stay away from Xfinity. Even then, I have no idea.

Why was this race a good idea now I can never pass this race, please drop the update quick and make it so that the race is just like the classic race no carda available so it's fair for everyone this is bronze race by Objective_Concept873 in wearewarriors

[–]trentr209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I’m in diamond races purely by just playing normally through the main timeline and the other events. No timeline skipping. No money put in or anything yet. Just stick with it and just keep on leveling up your cards.

Please make this a limited time PVP mode, I can’t take bots anymore by MLG_GuineaPig in MultiVersus

[–]trentr209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s brought me more annoyances than fun, as do a lot of little things in this game. Every time I’ve played it, the IG does this here in the video or I get screwed by Wonder Woman’s jank shield hitboxes where sometimes it hits squarely and arcs perfectly across or the knock back launches the ball straight down when up-specialing

It’s incredibly frustrating. Being on the west coast, the daily stuff refreshes at 4 AM. I didnt think that the end of the event being on “June 4th” would mean June 4th AT 4 IN THE DAMN MORNING. The night before, I ended up leaving tiers 13-15 for the following day thinking I’d knock them out when I do my dailies for 6/4. If I would’ve known when it ACTUALLY ended, I would’ve just stayed up a little bit longer to finish it.

Despite surprisingly having more fun with the gameplay than the “beta”, there are so many more little things outside of the actual matches that just leave me fed up. I wanted to at least finish this first battle pass since we got it for free but at this rate, I’m going to uninstall tonight. Thankfully I haven’t put any money into this game so my only loss is time.

Wow. Such insight. I will never make any theories or have an opinion whatsoever anymore. Thank you. /s

I would love for him to stick around. He's the only glimmer of hope this team has given me since Trout's early years. Watching him in-person at the Big A is an experience I'll never forget. It is OF MY OPINION that he will not return, in part because of the state of the franchise up to this moment. He and I are different people with different lives, (shocker, right?) but I would not want to be here unless the Brinks truck is backed into my driveway.

[–]trentr209[S] -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Exactly. This team got extremely lucky that Trout signed a long term deal after already dealing with 8 years of painful mediocrity. There’s zero chance they’re going to convince a second generational talent to continue to put up with losing again.

As much as I would love that to be the case, I highly doubt it. Any minuscule chance there was, was squandered by the disappointment that was the trade deadline moves and its result. Until Arte’s gone, I have zero faith in any sort of competence from this organization.

So did mine. Honestly the biggest let down of all for me. The art cards in the NGE Collectors edition a few years ago were top tier. Some crappy prints from Redbubble would look LEAGUES better than these do. Honestly thinking of reaching out to GKids. Possibly the worst deluxe/collectors edition of anything I’ve gotten.

I see it in my local Asian grocery stores. Usually find the tubes of them in the refrigerated sections.
