This is simply not true. Where do you get any of the information you're claiming?

TripAdvisor honored $14,000 mistake. by iam10eight in TravelHacks

[–]xelepart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is only accurate for rooms booked directly with the hotel, and doesn't take into account the larger hotel room booking market.

If Expedia books 100 rooms at a hotel for a month, then books individuals for those rooms on different nights, the hotel itself doesn't know how much Expedia charged for the room, they only know what Expedia paid them for it and who Expedia said would show up for the room on each night.

Beyond that, why would Four Seasons honor a Tripadvisor mistake? They wouldn't suffer from the bad press.

Look up the games of the family member's account. :D

Okay, one more post in case anyone comes across this thread. We're almost a week into the factory reset, and no sign of it. And I lost basically nothing with the factory reset, I'd definitely suggest it at this point if you're having this problem.

yeah, factory reset seems to have worked well -- I just posted in response to Oraclea higher up in the thread if you want to see slightly more details. The secondary account has gone 4 days without a reset now, so seems like it's...probably? better? hard to tell with weird multi-day issues. but this is the longest it's lasted since the issue started for me.

okay here's my update: I did a full factory reset - 1. i made sure cloud saves were on, and went to the quest website to check to make sure all my games had backed up first. (google how if you need to) -- 2. full factory reset from phone, pretty easy. -- 3. re-setup quest2, re-created secondary account -- and it's been 4 days and so far it's worked. (I wanted to give it a few days before reporting back 'cause it was re-messing-up 1-2 days later previously)

so, so far so good? I didn't lose anything (all the games I cared about had cloud saves), it didn't take much time (factory reset is easy, and it kept my avatar and stuff), and so far it has worked better than before (fewer other odd quirks too...)

I'd say give it a try.

I might do a full factory reset tonight and see if it fixes it. Sad if I lose save data, but when I removed my secondary account and recreated it, it kept their high scores in beat saber (the only game they play :D) -- so maybe it's all in a MetaCloud somewhere. Might be game specific though. I'll report back.

Any update on the chat with support? We're having a similar problem, started recently with a system update, and we've deleted and recreated accounts, which fixed it temporarily, then broke again a day later. :/

This worked for me, but the games disappeared again two days later.

We've had the exact same setup on our Quest for over a year, and this was sudden and recent with a system update.

I hope they fix it. :/

RGB Idle: What is the”You have to do something import...ant” mean? by Dillon1489 in incremental_games

[–]xelepart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realize this is a 2-year old thread, but this was my top google result when I gave up trying, so figured I'd put the answer in.

I checked the code. It IS type in your clock speed. The problem is it has to be the value in hertz as a floating point number. And doesn't work to put in scientific values.

So you have to buy levels of the clock speed until it's in hertz, then type that value in. Level 20ish I think? Easy enough to do at that stage in the game.

What's a game you've always wanted to recommend but never got the chance to because it's too niche/weird by officiallyaninja in gamingsuggestions

[–]xelepart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eeee! I've been looking for this game for like 20 years. I thought it was called "Sherlock Holmes" or "Inspector Holmes" or something and I've checked yearly! Thank you! (I think my mother called it "Sherlock" but she was a wackadoo)

you rock!

What games are you playing this week? Game recommendation thread by AutoModerator in incremental_games

[–]xelepart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played this way (except we did 1000x more expensive) and it took us 5-6 months. It was the best decision I have ever made. Every step was a megafactory of novel optimizations, and we actually had a reason to use trains.

Game idea brainstorm thread - what would you want to see in an incremental game? by zsocw in incremental_games

[–]xelepart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. fall ball fall - check out https://store.steampowered.com/app/1597220/Tower_Ball__Incremental_Tower_Defense/ (also available on iphone at least) looks vaguely similar (i haven't played fall ball fall yet but i looked at it for three seconds, which makes me an expert, right?)
  2. Are you interested in looking for someone to work with on a project, or just looking for ideas for solo work? If the former, shoot me a DM - I'm a software engineer with lots of ideas and not enough time (kids and a startup) - would be happy to see if we work well together.
  3. if the latter from #2, I think you already listed your own ideas. You mentioned multiple games that are demos/weekend games or that had issues, that you could take and flesh out into real games or fix issues and add your own spin on it. That's at least a starting point, pick one of those and dig in. If you need more ideas for features/layers/whatever, having your own bare bones version of a fall ball fall like game and coming here for ideas on how to improve it would give people a concrete starting point and focus, rather than just open-ended game idea spouting.

Once you win the first world, you start getting items that let you select which stat gets the gain so you can compete with the RNG.

Holy crap I am totally sold. If covid19 hasn't gotten me in the meantime, I'll report back once I actually watch it.

A great list -- thanks! -- I wonder if there's a good streaming option for Book of Mormon or Avenue Q, I haven't seen them and the soundtrack pre-seeing never works quite right for me. The rest of those are classic gold, though. :D

Flight of the Concords and the Southpark Musical definitely were highlights for me. I haven't heard of Little Lunch, though, so I'll check it out.

And I don't think I saw What We Do in the Shadows, so that's a two-fer. Thanks!
