    Home Improvement

    Had the company that did my home inspection when I bought the place a few weeks ago come back. It was a courtesy call since they missed the damage initially. Said there was no attic access in that part of the house, and they weren't sure what was causing that leak since it was so uniform and...

    Home Improvement

    Makes sense thanks. I live in a very dry climate. Low humidity all the time. We run humidifiers in the bedrooms at night year round to keep humidity levels in the house in the 25%-40% range. Ac is on a lot in this new house since it's been 100+ every day since we moved in so I could see the warm...

    Home Improvement

    Just bought a new house and moved in a week ago. Built in 2015. Passed inspection with flying colors. Was upstairs tonight taking the kids stuff out of boxes and noticed this water damage around one of the recessed lighting cans. Appears to be old water damage (we haven't had rain here in 2...

    Apparently it's north of 50k rupees per hour doing this.

    If your numbers are accurate, that is not the fastest, by a longshot. The climbing mini game has at least double that rate, if not 4x if it takes the full 20 min to get 1k in the bowling game. You can get about 800 every 3-4 minutes climbing.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Ign first video today about patrol. Looks like there will be a lot to do/explore and most of it looks casual enough to not need a premade fire team. I like the sound of that since most of my playtime right now is limited (i.e. No time to raid).

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    I finished the game with tons of gems because I was afraid to sell them. Such a waste in hindsight. Best rupee farm is the rock climbing event near death mountain. Very fast, just minutes per run, and easy to get 700+ rupees per run. Get climbing gear and max your stamina wheel.

    Is Samsung that bad? We close on our house in 2 weeks and negotiated that all appliances stay, including less than 1 year old Samsung W/D. Free is free I guess, but don't want to worry about a premature major repair/replacement.

    Inspections this week on new home and current home. I'm excited to be at our new home inspection, but super nervous for current home inspection...funny thing is the house is in great shape and well maintained, I'm just paranoid that something dumb is going to be found, the buyers will bail on...

    E3 2017

    I agree with Ut. VR is legit. Farpoint (with aim controller), RE7, and (with some assumptions)the upcoming FO4 vr, are big deals. I'm still waiting anxiously for a skyrim type open world vr rpg. Definitely the future of gaming once the tech catches up a bit more.

    Tech question: why can't my laptop access rererolled as of the site crash a few days ago?

    Well shit that's embarrassing. I swear I updated my bookmarks to the new URL ages ago but apparently I only did it on my phone and not the laptop. Thanks guys.

    Tech question: why can't my laptop access rererolled as of the site crash a few days ago?

    my phone can but my laptop can't. Err_connection_refused Tried clearing cache and cookies, resetting ipconfig stuff but nothing is working. Every other site seems fine, just no rererolled since the site hiccup a few days ago.

    Farpoint VR

    I preordered it from Amazon back when it was listed at $60. With Prime I got 20% off too so only paid $48 for the bundle. A steal really. Aim controller makes the game 10x better. So immersive. I get a little motion sickness playing if I spin around too much, but it's fun shooting stuff...

    Any recommendations on what mortgage lender to look into that approves manufactured home loans on leased land (it's a 55 and over retirement community)? Parents have tried 3 places so far and all of them flat out don't lend for that kind of a mortgage even though my parents can pay back the loan...

    Need some home buying opinions from you folks that I can pass on to my retired parents. My parents are retired and are looking at buying a home in a retirement community. Their financial adviser suggests they take out a home loan (15 or 30 year fixed) to buy the house, instead of pull money...

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Having fun with botw but as others have said, game loses some big marks from me for: Lack of classic zelda music (needs to be used way more than just Hyrule Castle) No real dungeons (huge letdown) The durability system (its fine for random crap you use as weapons but having the Hylian Shield...

    Had my vas today. I'm about 4 hours post surgery and doing ok. Feels kinda like I got kicked in the nuts, but more of the dull pain rather than intense. Took one of the pain meds they gave me just to make this first phase as easy as possible. Hope to have smooth sailing from here on out. Did...

    Thoroughly enjoyed Destiny, and still play it daily. Looking forward to the final content update tomorrow for D1, just so I can relive the magic of year 1 with a 400 Fatebringer and Mythoclast (and the buffed up Necrocasm). D2 coming Sept 8 (or 5th in the US if Tuesday releases are still the...

    Going in for my procedure in about 10 days. Not looking forward to it, but after 2 kids we're done! Hoping I'm not one of the 'lucky' few with horrible side effects. Worst thing is that I was supposed to go in and have it done yesterday (just in time for March Madness!) but the urologist had...

    That one was the worst? Whew! I've only done about 20 shrines and I stumbled upon that one and spent FOREVER on that stupid ball maze. So glad I don't have dozens more with the same frustrating gimmick.

    I guess I'm one of the few as well. I've been sitting on my couch playing Zelda in tv mode every evening with no issues. I'm anywhere from 8-10 feet away.

    Amateur. He needs to use a psvr. I did it and it works really well. Just put the switch hdmi into the back of the psvr processing box where the PS4 cable usually goes. 2d cinematic mode magic

    With all the frame rate talk I was worried Zelda would run like crap with the switch docked, but I honestly haven't even noticed it in about 3 hours of playtime so far.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I should have mentioned it, but I was playing Zelda docked with one joycon in each hand (no grip). I felt like it gave my hands the most room to maneuver but still wasn't natural feeling at all especially the left joycon button placement.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Is there a way to see weapon durability remaining? Also, do bows break? Found a good one early on but dont want to 'waste' it.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Does anyone else hate the joycons as much as I do? Way too small and the button placement, especially on the left joycon, is uncomfortable. In Zelda, trying to swap weapons forces me to adjust my grip to reach the button and then adjust back to comfortably use the stick again. I didn't have...

    Well that went well. Walked into Target 5 min after they opened. Scored a Switch and Zelda. Store had 42 total consoles available and there were probably about 15 left in the stack when I got mine. In and out in under 10 min. Looking forward to trying it out tonight after work!

    Damn you Zelda. I have no time to play, and I didn't preorder the Switch after seeing the appalling reveal in January, but I'm going to swing by my local Target when they open tomorrow and see if I can snag a Switch and copy of BotW. I know my odds are slim, but I've got the itch for a good...

    Resident Evil 7

    It does work with non-pro. I have one and enjoy psvr on it ( too chicken to get re7 yet though). Pro is a bit sharper in the texture department with psvr , vs. the original PS4, for vr games that have utilized what the pro offers.

    Those of you with CEMU 1.7.0, I'm messing around with it in prep for BotW. Got Mario Kart 8 up and running but when I load a track I can only see the timer, coins and lap counter. The rest of the screen is black. Any idea what I need to adjust?

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    Anyone else's launch PS4's sound like an airlplane taking off the entire time FF15 is on? As soon as I start playing my fan sounds like a hair dryer and doesn't quiet down until I close the game. Digital verision, if it matters, and I don't have this issue with other games.

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    Are the treasure chests the wood plank looking things? I was wondering what those were for. I tried the game once for about 20 min. Got like 15 treasure chests and didn't know what was going on, other than me not dying wave after wave so I quit out of it to keep doing hunts/explore.
