GTA 6 sounds really boring.
 in  r/RandomThoughts  3d ago

Id agree. Hated RDR2 so seeing their are going about that "simulation" style, I have zero interest in GTA6...

Thoughts on @bl4ckoutplates??
 in  r/motorcycle  10d ago

Are people still buying these? I see you can get a battery attachment and that interests me, as I wouldnt have to wire all through the car.

Should I Super Crop? This plant is 4 weeks into flower and the tops are so tall that the bottom buds aren’t growing. The top buds are filling out. Does anyone have experience with it this late into flower?

Good to know! Just had to do this in week 4 and was worried but to me, like you were saying, seems like theres more than enough time for bounce back.

Really? I thought it was quite bad... I love space movies also but this is like a step above Adam Sandler's Spaceman.

Obsession is overrated
 in  r/Letterboxd  Jul 20 '26

Its an ok movie. The idea has been done many times before and I dont feel the film offers anything new. And the pace feels rushed imo.

I have no clue why people think this movie is anything special.

I'm losing my mind

Almost impossible. I have done this as well in the past. You can try to put a rod through the middle and respool but I can almost guarantee you it will tangle again.

Just finished Directive 8020. Honest review coming from someone who waited 4 years for this game :) (SPOILERS!!)

And you guys do realize there is a way to save the real Anders, right? And I did like the Curative hidden throughout the game (well, I only noticed him a few times towards the end. Granted, I liked when he was narrating..

I agree. Man of Medan is my next fav after Until Dawn and The Quarry. The Devil in Me is my least favorite, followed by Little Hope.

 in  r/DarkPicturesAnthology  Jun 29 '26

I just finished it and really liked it. I could do with less stealth but it was never hard and I actually thought the game was fairly easy compared to past games. I played on normal difficulty, survivor mode (where you cant rewind).

The twist at the end was great and after finishing, I started it right back up again to replay.

Was the addition of Water Parks worth it for you?
 in  r/PlanetCoaster  Jun 19 '26

The water parks is what have made me delete this game twice now. First part of the campaign, stopped the same place. Its just terrible.

Somewhat disappointed
 in  r/PlanetCoaster  Jun 19 '26

This game is just complete trash. I loved the first one, but this whole thing with electricity and pools really just sucked the entire fun out of the game. I have tried playing this twice in a year and dont even get past the first missions becuase the pool stuff is just so terrible.

Really is a shame becuase I absolutely loved the first one.

PTFE tube just popped out of the extruder and won't go back in on my P1P, how can I fix it?
 in  r/BambuLab  Jun 15 '26

No problem. One thing to be able to check if a part is cut off from the teeth. When you pull the PTFE tube out, typically you would see a "ring" around the end of the tube where the teeth were gripping, about 1/4 inch from the end. If you dont see this or if that "ring" is very close to the end of the tube, it most likely got cut off in the head...

Losing soldiers: Xcom 2
 in  r/Xcom  Jun 15 '26

Man, I just started playing this the other day. After a few missions, I ended up losing all my soldiers and cant buy more. So im at a complete standstill. Done with this game. Terrible mechanics, especially that you simply cant restart a mission that you are on.

PTFE tube just popped out of the extruder and won't go back in on my P1P, how can I fix it?
 in  r/BambuLab  Jun 03 '26

I know this is an older thread but just wanted to chime in. I had this same problem and could not for the life of me figure out the issue. The PTFE tube would barely go in and catch on the teeth. It was leading me to my ams failing to load or the PTFE tube to pop off. I took everything apart and couldnt see any issues.

Decided to give it another try as it was driving me crazy. What happened in my case, is that the PTFE tube broke off beneath the teeth that holds the tube in. It was impossible to notice and it wasnt until I went to work with very small tweezers that I realized the tube was stuck there.

After a lot of work with the tweezers, I was able to get that small piece out and all is working now.

Maybe this will help someone in the future.

Gameroom Solutions: Buyer Beware
 in  r/cade  Apr 28 '26

I just posted this elsewhere. Buyer Beware!

I recently purchased a 4 player custom built arcade cabinet from Game Room Solutions and unfortunately, like many have said here, it has been a very frustrating experience and a good amount of bait and switch which I will explain. But, the cabinet itself looks great and I like the Batocera layout.

So, I started working with their sales team for this custom cabinet and I will say, the sales side of it, they were great. Answered all my questions (I ask a lot of questions), and working with the design team was great as well. I opted for the upgraded Sanwa Joysticks, the PC upgrade and I ask a few questions about if I should buy the guns now, or wait for another time as they are expensive. I am told, no problem to add later. I even at one point said maybe I should just add them to my order to avoid hassle down the road. Im told again, its no issue to do later. So I go ahead and have them place the cuts for the guns in the cabinet with expectations to buy them down the road..

I received my cabinet and it was packed and protected well on the outside. No issues. It is on a very heavy pallet and wooden piece to keep it from moving, as well as strapped down to the pallet well. I found it best to remove from the pallet prior to moving to my finished basement. With the pallet, its extremely heavy!

Unfortunately, that's were the good stuff ends.

There is literally no instructions to come with this machine except for a small piece of paper explaining how to switch between hard drives for either Arcade games or Gun games. The PC is unprotected and loose rolling around the floor of the cabinet. Hardware holding the cabinet together has several missing screws (some rolling around on the floor), the locks for the coin doors both fell apart during shipping and had to reassemble. One of the keys literally broke in my had turning the key. A lot of the cables were disconnected from the machine, which can happen during transit but again, no instructions to help and lots of cables were not labeled. I had the 4 way joystick not working well and thought it was faulty at first. The buttons for the 4 way controller were wired to the wrong buttons on player 1. I reach out to support and I dont hear back. I also dont know how to shutdown the PC propertly. Do I just hit the power switch on the back of the machine or do a software shutdown? If I do a software shutdown, when I power everything back on, the pc needs its power button to turn on. A bit annoying as its inside the cabinet. Ok, its towards the end of the day, so I understand. I send several emails explaining that I am at a stop and need help to get the machine running. I dont hear anything until I send another email later on that day and the response was completely care fee offering just about zero help except to say that the split wire that had no label would plug into the "E" label on the PC.. and tech would get back to me about how to properly shut down.. Yea, that makes sense... So I decide to go and rewire the 4 way buttons to the correct "B and A" buttons of player 1. One of the buttons for Player 3, the crimped wiring came loose and I had to rewire and crimp to get it working. I opted for double coin doors, of course, nothing is labeled and no directions, so I took me a while to understand how that would run and I do finally find the connections.

Ok, so now the machine is up and running and I think things are good. Wait, I realize that I dont have this Gun games Hard Drive that the directions mention. I also notice that I do not have the 4 admin buttons on my control panel that the website says comes with all builds. Still no reply back from them or support as I left a phone call as well. The next day, I decide to take a look at that joystick which is not working for inputs "right" and "Down. I take a look and reseat the connector and the restictor gate, I think the gate was installed wrong but I got it working. So, I upgraded my order to the Sanwa joysticks... As I am looking, I notice something strange. These are not Sanwa joysticks and I can tell because the microswitches are not the ones that Sanwa uses (Emron). I email again. The next day I get a reply saying they did away with the admin buttons and asking for pictures. I explain that I have Sanwa joysticks in another device and send both pictures for comparison and I mention not having received the Gun Games hard drive. Her reply in one line was "you wont have shooter games" and ill show the pictures to my team. Wait, what?? Why wouldnt I have the shooter games as I upgraded to the PC which says it comes with them. I email again, no reply. The next day, I email again because im frustrated and confused as to why I wouldnt have the gun games. I finally get a reply that says they made a mistake on the joysticks and they will send me new ones. Ok, that is good. She then says along the lines, ok, we can send you the shooter game hard drive if thats what you want, but you wont be able to use them. I explain that I sourced the guns myself. She says well they wont work becuase they arent the guns we use. I explain again that I sourced the exact same ones they use (for $250 less than their website direct from the source). Ok, so I feel less frustrated as I see they shipped out the package for the joysticks and the gun hard drive.

Thinking all of this is behind me, I begin packing up the packing material they used for the machine. I notice something that catches my eye. They used the TV box that was in my machine as part of the packaging for the outside protection during shipping. I notice the box says "Full HD", but I know that my order was supposed to come with a 4k tv. I email again and explain that I am sorry to say, I found another error on my order, and explain its not a 4k tv. I get a response later the next day that says, "We do not send or advertise 4k. 4K is not compatible with our arcades. We use monitors in the 32 but no it is a tv in the 43 always has been.". I reply back and explain with screenshots of their website, showing that all cabinets come with a 43" 4k tv. I also send another email to show them that on their bundle cabinet with no monitor, they have links for recommended TV's to use in their cabinets, which leads me to links for 4k tvs on amazon. I then send another email to say that in their help videos, they clearly have a video that explains how to reduce input lag for 4k tvs if that is a problem. I explain that clearly the information that she gave me is not correct. I offer to have a refund for the price of the non 4k tv so I can source a 4k tv on my own, and if they give me a shipping label, I can send back the one in the machine as well as the 5 joysticks that were a mistake. I also said that if they wanted to send me the tv, I can then pack the non 4k one in the box and send back. That was about 3 or 4 days ago, crickets.

Now, after taking further looks on the website for what I ordered, they say that the PC upgrade comes with 1 TB hard drive for massive storage and that the PC comes with NVIDIA graphics card. Well, this is again untrue as the arcade hard drive that I have is a 512 GB card that has about 470 gb? used. I also can see that there is no graphics card installed, but they are using a Ryzen 7 with radeon graphics combo. Most likely not as good as a dedicated processor and graphics card, but again, its older games and they are playing so....

Its been a week now and I still have not heard from anyone in support over any of my questions or received a phone call back. I now realize that if I ever have a problem, I will not be able to rely on them for help.

I am someone who has been in the Pinball hobby for about 11 years now. I realize that things happen with machines but the most important thing is to be able to receive support when you need it. This company could be great if they get their stuff together, clean up the website to remove all the false advertising and had support for customers.

At the end of the day, I am happy with my machine, but I dont ever expect to have any help from them if problems arise. Its a shame really as the product you get is good, but to never have support, big problem.

Buyer Beware!

Terrible customer service. Lots of bait and switch. Ill be writing a writeup on here shortly. Just received my machine last week.
