know any non-MS company that rebuilds Elite 2's? My bumper buttons are fucked, and the sticks need replacing. Damn if I'm paying MS $99 to fix it. Not so much the cost as the fact the bumpers would be fine if they didn't cheap out on the switches. I became an expert on fixing Xbox 360's (I...

Well beat the helicopter finally, did a few missions , and realized I cannot play this game. Too many meds/age/lack of twitch all I'm doing is getting my ass kicked as I cannot keep up with what is going on. Not a put down on the game, more on me. I knew I sucked at these type games, that's why...

I won't stop reading IE's books, I like anything in this universe. I didn't like Kharakanas books either, think I gave up mid 2 (or maybe 1) as it seemed like he was rambling. I'll give it another try when he finishes. I'm in book 3-4 now of the main 10. Funny , 3rd reread and it's still...

Cannot remember why I swapped. Did NZBGet have an option to shutdown the PC when finished? That may be why. I never had an issue with it , just changed.

My mother in law once got a Cobb salad that had a ball bearing in it. GIS: salad with ball bearing

What I don't understand is , WHY? What was wrong with that. I'm sure it wasn't as good are our memberrrys think it was but it was way better than the inconsistent overpriced garbage they sell now. Also I guess, get off my lawn!

That's the strat I used to 'get close'. New controllers build quality was trash so I returned it. Didn't even try last night. Maybe tonight.

OK so it's just standard get gud fgt. I'll take another run at it tonight. Thanks guys

Ok I just started this game. The armored helicopter in the fucking training mission is taking ALL my lunch money. I only got close once. Is it supposed to be this hard? I know I got to get gud but damn

I had to have my annual done during high-COVID. Treated like lepers , had to wait in the car till called. Rush in get poked, rush out. I did the 12 / 12 capsules with water. Had to pay for them extra but it was $40 well spent not to have to drink all that shit. Glad it worked out well for you...

Getting quotes to repaint the exterior of my house. First time I've lived anywhere long enough for the paint to go , and it's in the desert of NV. Anyhow I got a quote from a painting contractor that did a house for a work friend of my wife's. He's 3k to pressure wash, caulk , and paint complete...

Well said! I was trying to explain to my wife and MIL what he does and failed at it. Since brain surgery , thinking of words has become impossible. All I could come up with was Carl Sagan and neither of them had heard of him. They are British so maybe he was never popular there? Also , where...

So this happened today I took my wife and mother in law, they are not as big of space buffs as I am. If you've listened to NGT's videos/shows and/or read a few of his books you have heard everything he went over in this 2 hour lecture. The only relatively new item to me was 'White Holes'...

Same planes, could be the same location. That sure looks like Eastern NC in @lurkingdirk 's Pic. I was 20' past a ' do not pass' line and had my brother take a pic of me standing in the parking lot of the flight line for SJAFB's F15E's.

yeah but that's different. I never felt like I was forcing myself to play ER, even when I was getting my shit pushed in by , well everything. FF7 Rebirth is really really really good in places. And really really really fucking annoying in others. Last June taught me that Life is Short (tm) and...

yeah well, fuck that Chocobo

I was around 90 hours and that's about when I start losing interest in a game. I'd made it to the final land area (Nibel) and for whatever reason was having a hard time finding the damn Chocobo. Look at a spoiler and of course it's obvious now. Not really feeling the land masses on this game...

That right there is some fucked up shit. For what it's worth, sorry it happened to you dude.

Like @Burns says it's more JA than Xcom. I remember being bummed when it came out as it had a barely there story to justify the missions and not much else. I bought it new when it came out then on GOG later in life. Fallout 1 was the 1st game I bought on GOG (I also seem to remember it was one...

Air rifle with a scope.

Does anyone on here have any experiences , good or bad , with Beelink Mini PC's? I need to replace my living room HTPC front end and I'm looking on the lower end of things since it's really just something to push 4k movie rips off of a network connected HDD. Needs to do 4k but that should not...

Glad I dodged that bullet. I didn't even consider intel this build cycle. They are basically backing themselves into a corner like the did with the pesshot P4's.

Just finished it , love it. Solid 8/10. Story was ok , not sure how close it was to the games. Loved the game references and the ending where Just loaded Fallouts 1 & 2 on my GOG account. Time for replay #23424 Hell I may even do Tactics.

I'm running these on my brand new build w/o any issue. https://www.gskill.com/products/1/165/390/Trident-Z5-Neo-RGB-DDR5-AMD-EXPO

NZBgeek + sabNZB here, zero issues. I did NZBGet initially ,after I dumped the hot garbage that was newsleecher, but AFAIK it's no longer getting updates. Using Tweaknews.eu for server. Does cost some $$$ , not a ton and you can get the cost back in value in one month.

Miles Teg is my 2nd favorite Herbert char after

There is NO option 5!

Where do you find something like that? I may be interested for myself.

she wants free or as near as. I warned her off and went on my marry way.

Thanks Guys ! I read their whole website last night and did not get the warm / fuzzies. In fact it felt like a giant honey trap. I advised her not to mess with it. Partially because I'm the one that will get all the headaches when the damn thing inevitably doesn't work.

if you watched the movie It's really worth watching.

I'm guessing this would be a good place to ask this question. I also did a general search for 'Digibox' that turned up nadda. What do you all know/think about this product? https://digiboxtv.co/products/digibox-d3-plus My mother-in-law asked me about it today. I've never heard of it but it...

Living packed in light rats and the cold & snow. I do not understand living like that at all. I've said it before and I'll say it again: FUCK A BUNCH'A SNOW! GIS - fuck snow

I had my Canon 7D ready to go, I used it for the last 2 eclipses. Homemade solar filter but it did ok. Go to put it all together last night and the camera will not turn on. Batteries are topped out no power. Pull the dual battery pack out , put in one battery . Nothing. Put it back together and...

Harmony elite 4 life. Have parts of old ones to keep the main one alive forever. Sucks they went out of business.

M1 (Crab Nebula) , M81 (Dane's galaxy) & M82 (cigar galaxy) Also on a very related topic, can anyone recommend a cheap or free photo editing program that's somewhere between W11's built in junk and GIMP? I can output to .tiff files but the learning curve on GIMP is massive.

wow didn't realize they were so cheap , I might get another one myself

I'm doing #5 on @Edaw 's chart with a 65" 4k tv above for football / whatever. Dual 32's and an ultrawide on the right. Works for me.

I'm also really enjoying Strange New Worlds (except the musical episode). I'll just keep peeking in and see if the season goes anywhere and watch all 10 at once.
