The middle number 555 is used in fake adverts in the US. It’s not used anywhere.
- Comment on Currently downloading The Witcher 3 for the first time. Got any advice for me? 2 months ago:
The combat is just generally unintuitive. Which early in the game is frustrating. And if you’re like me and spend weeks between sessions you can forget all the timing and buttons you need to press.

If the combat is frustrating, turn the difficulty down. There will still be a learning curve, but it’ll be the difference between surviving and having to do an hour of work again because you forgot to quick save and get slapped by a foglet.
- Comment on How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years? 2 months ago:
Generally I don’t buy anything else other than Phillips. They’re usually bulletproof if you don’t get the smart bulbs. I’ve not had a Phillips fail in ~10 years. But that’s a sample size of like 30 or so bulbs.

Yep. When I moved into my house the previous owner had used all garbage Walmart LED’s. I think I had one fail each month and just bought a bunch on sale from Phillips eventually.
Most common failure was the driver. So they turned into strobe lights lol. Most annoying failure ever.
And more importantly, not every LED is dimmer compatible. Sometimes they’re super picky or just plain don’t work.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 level editor is cracked open by modders, bringing homebrew campaigns one step closer 3 months ago:
Sometimes the afflictions didn’t trigger properly like accidentally healing an enemy because decay was applied same turn etc. also turn order and initiative is impossible to predict. In a 4 person co-op game there must always be an alternating turn order regardless of number of players. So basically we’ve had players skipped for two whole rounds because the AI gets to go again. It’s fairly consistent in that regard. It’s frustrating because it’s usually a different person each session that just gets entirely skipped over for almost the entire fight.
And to be honest, I liked the action/bonus action mechanic as it makes the turns go faster. We just did a 4 player bg3 campaign earlier this year and the fights went way faster.
And the crafting mechanic has a high learning curve.
I did find the physical/magic armor mechanic different. I don’t have any real opinion either way with it.

Having played both, there are some really nice quality of life changes in BG3 that will make this way better. Also Div 2 rules were weird.
- Comment on Is Elder Scrolls 6 doomed to fail? I can't see how it will work 3 months ago:
I feel like in comparison to Starfield, ES6 should be smaller and more compact which should alleviate a lot of the other complaints I’ve seen.
At this point the hype alone will sell it. There may be some apprehensive players since starfield, but I don’t think it’ll impact them too much.
Also elder scrolls being their big IP, they kind of don’t have the wiggle room to screw this up.
- Comment on How does Ohio have stock for the new cannabis stores that just opened? 4 months ago:
Is that why I can find some brands in Colorado and not in Michigan? Or are there just really that many brands?
- Comment on Where does plaque come from? 5 months ago:
Soft plaque forms like the other comment said from bacteria excrement.
It then hardens and becomes impossible for a regular brush to get rid of within 24ish hours. It’s why you should get regular cleanings and brush twice a day. And floss.
- Comment on Elden Ring – Patch Notes Version 1.12 5 months ago:
It’s going to make heavy based melee builds much less annoying.
- Comment on I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot. 8 months ago:
I used to routinely use 100gb of data on my jailbroken sprint iPhone. Did that for almost 3 years. Never heard a peep from them. But this was forever ago.

Yea so by then I’ll have a substantial backlog haha.

Jokes on you I’ll be the 0.1% that wait till before the switch 3 to buy.
