xMythic 02/15/22 3:57:05 PM #28 | I have a pair of .308 deer hunting rifles, but that's it. I have a c&c license, had it for over 3 years now, but I still haven't bothered to purchase a handgun. --- GT: xMythic Epic: ser.jacob |
Topic | Quck, which game brought you to GameFAQS???! |
xMythic 02/13/22 2:12:29 PM #99 | Ocarina of Time. I was sure I had completed everything but was searching for secrets and easter eggs I may have missed. That was like back in '99. Morrowind GOTY was the game that brought me here for the boards. --- GT: xMythic Epic: ser.jacob |
Topic | What happened to the fight night games? |
xMythic 02/12/22 11:42:43 AM #7 | I didn't play the last couple games but I played the older ones a lot, along with the even older Knockout Kings. Creating a fighter and working your way up through the ranks in story mode was great. --- GT: xMythic Epic: ser.jacob |

Topic | Casino Buffets |
xMythic 01/31/22 11:23:33 PM #27 | I used to enjoy my local casino's buffet, but covid killed it off. It reopened last year, but it was different. There were workers at each food station who gave you servings of what you wanted. It sounded like a pain in the ass so I never went. And then it shut down again. --- GT: xMythic Go Pack Go! |
Topic | Which is the more boring sport to watch on tv, golf or soccer? |
xMythic 01/31/22 11:19:56 PM #8 | Golf, easily. The only time I ever found it enjoyable was when Tiger was in his heydey and you thought you were witnessing history in the making. I've grown to enjoy watching soccer, it looks so fun. The elite Euro clubs are great to watch, so much talent at each position. The tournaments are exciting too, especially in the knockout rounds. --- GT: xMythic Go Pack Go! |

Topic | They really don't prepare you for how fucking terrible raising a baby can be |
xMythic 01/26/22 2:14:46 AM #49 | That's rough man, I feel for you. My gf and I have one child, a son who is now 6, and we got so lucky with him that we're committed to only ever having one. He wasn't colicky, slept through the night every night, teething was a breeze, and was just generally an easy going baby. He never got even got sick, probably due to being breastfed. I still can't believe how easy we had it during those early years of his life. We aren't going to push our luck, because we know things will probably even out and our next child would be a total gremlin. --- GT: xMythic Go Pack Go! |

Topic | Back when everything first shut down, did you think Covid would last this long? |
xMythic 01/20/22 9:10:04 PM #60 | I thought it would last a month before the CDC and foreign equivalents figured something out and got us out of this mess. Now, the college where I work is about to go remote for the next month due to rampant covid amongst staff and students. I look forward to working from home again, but it's crazy were in this position again. --- GT: xMythic Go Pack Go! |

xMythic 01/05/22 10:54:35 AM #23 | SiO4 posted... The Computer system I work with at work is so bad...and outdated it blows my mind each day.That's funny. I worked for my county for a few years, as recently as 2018, as a public assistance case manager. The system the entire state of Minnesota uses to process pubic assistance/medical assistance cases was literally a DOS program. You open it up and it looks like the computer terminals in Fallout lol. It made extensive use of the function keys (F4 is the back button), and you navigate the system by entering 4-letter commands. It was developed 30 years ago and the state has never upgraded because it works so well and it is too costly to do so. --- GT: xMythic Go Pack Go! |

Topic | If you were getting a good sports car would you choose black or silver rims? |
xMythic 12/15/21 9:26:48 PM #22 | Depends on the color of the car. For silver cars, black is usually a good choice. I went with black wheels with a polished rim on my Cobra. It came with stock chrome alloys that didn't really stand out. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/9/9/AAIxbMAACs7L.jpg --- GT: xMythic Go Gators! |
Topic | How do I stream from a laptop to a smart TV? |
xMythic 12/11/21 12:48:13 PM #6 | Hit 'Windows key + P'. You'll see a pop-up on the right side of the screen showing you your projection options. There will also be an option to connect to a wireless display. Click that option, and you should see your smart tv was long as they are on the same network. Connect to your TV, you will see a prompt on the TV asking if you want to allow the laptop to connect (Samsungs do this, maybe not all TVs). Use the remote to select yes. Once you are connected, you change between screen mirroring or using the TV as a second screen in the projection options. --- GT: xMythic Go Gators! |

xMythic 12/04/21 6:57:45 PM #27 | I impulse buy those movie collections you see at Walmart or Target, the ones that are like $10 for 3-4 movies.

Topic | Did you ever laugh your ass off team killing online? |
xMythic 12/03/21 10:08:14 PM #33 | RamboCell29 posted... In some of the old Battlefield games you could jump in a jeep, get to full speed, jump out at full speed (without taking damage), and the jeep would keep going and roadkill anonymously anyone they hit.My cousin would do shit like that all the time in Battlefield (and pretty much any other game). He had a real knack for figuring out stuff like that on his own. No matter what game, he always manage to find the most hilarious ways to team kill with no consequences, and Battlefield games presented a lot of opportunities for him. My favorite would have to be what he called "helo hopping" in Bad Combat 2. At the start of a match he would immediately grab the UAV, liftoff and then "hop" onto the center of the rotor of the nearest helicopter, which was was almost always fully loaded and about to liftoff. The UAV would cause it to instantly explode, killing all aboard. They never could figure out why it was happening either. I could only shake my head but it was hilarious at the same time. --- GT: xMythic Go Gators! |

Topic | I'm interested in getting into astrophotography. |
xMythic 11/28/21 11:15:23 PM #14 | BroodRyu posted... Was it challenging learning how to do that? How challenging is image processing?Not at all. I found that's it's easier than any other type of photography. Taking photos of the night sky is very simple once you learn how to focus manually in the dark. Using a polar mount and getting it aligned took about 30 minutes the first time, now it takes minutes. I've found that astrophotography gets easier and quicker every time you go out and try. Editing is pretty straightforward and easy for the types of night sky shots I take. I just use Lightroom to make adjustment, and export to Photoshop for more advanced things like panoramas or blending multiple exposures. --- GT: xMythic Go Gators! |
Topic | I'm interested in getting into astrophotography. |
xMythic 11/28/21 10:52:24 PM #10 | I do a lot of astrophotography, but not with telescopes. I do have one of these that I attach my cameras to, to do extra long exposures of the milky way: https://www.amazon.com/iOptron-SkyGuider-Camera-Mount-Package/dp/B07199QMR6 Getting the right equipment and attaching my camera to a telescope is something I've researched. I've only ever used the phone mount with my son's beginner telescope to get photos of the moon. It worked really well. --- GT: xMythic Go Gators! |
Topic | Anyone here gone to college, or back to college, later in life? |
xMythic 11/27/21 9:26:53 PM #33 | It's never too late to back to school. I went back to school at age 32 in the fall of '18. I attended my local community college pursuing an AA. I earned that in the spring of '20 after two amazing years. Had a lot of really great experiences there. I transferred to a 4-year university a semester early, took a ton of credits each semester, including the summer semester, and graduated with a bachelor's in Business Administration this past spring. Covid defined my experience there, since the pandemic happened during my first semester. Didn't get an opportunity to spend much time on campus. It worked out well though, with everything being pushed online. I met the requirements for acceptance into my school's accelerated MBA program and spent the 2020-21 school year taking MBA courses concurrently with my undergrad classes. That cut an entire year off my graduation timeline. After I closed out my bachelor's, I took 3 courses this past summer and another 3 this fall. Now, I'm two weeks away from finishing my final semester and earning my MBA. So, that's my experience as an older student. I didn't mention any of the amazing and life-changing personal and professional development experiences that I've had because of school. Easily the best decision I've ever made. --- GT: xMythic Go Gators! |
Topic | Imagine getting shot 6 times by the Needler |
xMythic 11/26/21 6:43:50 PM #17 | Weezy_Tha_Don posted... one of the books talked about how a marine took fire from a needler and his bicep like exploded. shit would suckIt's been years since I read any of the books but I seem to recall how some of the weaker weapons (needler, plasma pistol) are absolutely devastating compared to how they are in the game. "Master Chief dove for cover as two grunts fired plasma pistols his way! The errant plasma bolts melted through four inches of solid steel." Obviously paraphrasing lol, but everything seemed so much deadlier. Like a troupe of Grunts with needlers was a cause for serious concern, God help you if there was a Jackal with a shield and plasma pistol in the mix. --- GT: xMythic Go Gators! |

xMythic 11/17/21 11:28:15 PM #15 | Norman_Smiley posted... Check out prices on what you've got. Like what was a $5 becket value Kobe Rookie card could easily be $50 ungraded and up to like $500 graded PSA 8. Also some random jordans have gotten expensive even ungraded.I'm a member of one of the larger MJ card groups on Facebook. It's unbelievable what the rare inserts are selling for. Even some of the random less sought after cards catch fire. It's died down a bit but still pretty crazy. I used to collect from the early 90s to around 2001. Mostly baseball, but some basketball and football. I got a ton of Jordans (nothing super valuable though), have a couple lesser Kobe rookies. As a kid I, unfortunately, only had a "Collector's Choice" budget and couldn't afford the premium packs too often. --- GT: xMythic Go Gators! |
