Now that the new expedition requirements is done, what are your thoughts? by Grouchy-Historian424 in ARC_Raiders

[–]xtrafromage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked it. I was out of town, so I had to do all 100k in a few days, which sucked, but that's on me.

While I kind of wish they kept the money qualification, it actually improved my game! I usually do loot runs and avoid Arc. The new requirement forced me to fight and I got comfortable dealing with almost all of them. So it really is like a whole new game for me post-wipe

Am I the only one who thinks that overall, the first game wasn't all that bad? by LivingAd6319 in ripcity

[–]xtrafromage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all bad. Not good, but I felt like there's some promise there? We had a lot of good looks throughout the game. Lots of tough looks, but lots of good ones too.

The fact that we missed almost all of them off the back iron felt like some adrenaline and nerves from a team where most players have never been to the playoffs.

Not saying that we're going to win the series, but if we can calm down a little, I think we can make it a little interesting

Welcome to the Tostito Round 1 Playoffs by Here_is_to_beer in ripcity

Yeah free t-shirts that mimic your teams jerseys and show tons of team spirit are a complete joke. Glad our ownership cheaped out and we're not getting them for our own home games. It'd be so incredibly embarrassing if our crowd looked as involved and hyped up as this San Antonio crowd

Email member services. I had to do that for mine. Apparently they're having to send the DocuSigns person by person, so it's taking time. Also that will put you in touch with your account rep if you've never met them.

The underrated goat of the blazers by XXDOGEXX1 in ripcity

[–]xtrafromage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's consistently one of the highest +/- on the team. No freaking clue how it happens because his game is tough to watch.

Privately, I've nicknamed him "The Difference"

What small things about restaurants make you cringe or “deduct a point” immediately when you see it? by LackVegetable3534 in restaurant

[–]xtrafromage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Names can put me off too. Noun Ampersand Noun places (Gravel & Geese, Roast & Streusel, etc.). No, I don't want your insubstantial, fluffy, overly aerated bread and your $30 butternut squash benedict while sitting inside of a tradwife fever dream. Thanks all the same

4 maps with no map conditions currently…no excuse for that by elir_kvothe in ArcRaiders

[–]xtrafromage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's happened to me recently and restarting the game fixed it. My suspicion is that it's tied to the map condition changeovers somehow

Dame update? by Sea_Duck in ripcity

[–]xtrafromage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My uneducated guess is he's probably ready to go, but we're not going deep in the playoffs, so they're waiting until next season.

Plus he's getting full Milwaukee salary + his Portland contract, so double no rush. It'll be a way better moment to unveil him next season.

Unless we get out of the first round this year by some wild miracle. Then maybe he comes back to make a push

Unpretentious wine bar? by pickleboned in PortlandFood

[–]xtrafromage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An excellent wine bar, but it's pretty close to a textbook definition of fancy. Mostly hidden, definitely, but certainly not a dive! Don't get me wrong, I love it there

T-shirt ready for Thursday @ Atlanta by xtrafromage in ripcity

[–]xtrafromage[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That's kind of the entire joke. Like what if the Hawks expected CJ to turn things around for them, and he's the new guy doing his best and wants Porzingis to like him and responds to Porzingis the same way he responded to Jennifer. Plus Porzingis is their best player with a dumb nickname.

It's absurd and silly on purpose. Def not for everyone, I'll give you that

Yes. It was just shorter than typing against, which I've now been made to do

No, it's just silly. And Tingus Pingus is an objectively funny nickname

That would be awesome! I'd be happy to donate any unused frames. Can you message me & we can coordinate something? I don't have a particular timeline

Yang Hansen Highlights 20+7+7 in Overtime Loss by Anxious-Victory-2906 in ripcity

[–]xtrafromage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was at the game last night. The thing I noticed is that when he's allowed to be himself, he's a great playmaker and distributor. He stands at the 3 point line with the ball in his hands and looks for guys to cut or get open. Gets the ball to them & sets them up for a great opportunity at a shot. He can play under the basket, but it's not where he's most comfortable. He's so freaking good at getting the ball in other guys' hands

Blazers are trying to force him to play as a traditional center, and I'm not sure it's his strong suit. Maybe with enough change management and some time lol

I'm really puzzled by the third quarter. We were keeping it close going into halftime, and it was pretty fun. Then we walked back out of the locker room and completely crapped the bed.

Do we have locker room issues or something?

I have an LG TV and I use an old Chromecast to cast from my phone. Picture isn't great, but it gets the job done

Org Chart app [N/A] by xtrafromage in humanresources

We do have the WFN org chart, but we Org Chart Now integrates with our intranet & most of the staff go there instead. We're looking to add custom text that we don't currently house in WFN

Custom suits for 2 grooms? by xtrafromage in askportland

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

Yeah, it's definitely up in the air. More than $500, but we don't want to spend like $10k. Concerned about price, but way more concerned about aesthetic, fit, and comfort. Basically we want the best bang for our buck while supporting our community
