u/Deeri-

I’ve been a fan of this game series since the original game came out and my sister and I used to play it together all the time. One of the things we liked most were the noises and sounds the civilian NPCs would make when we’d toss them around and throw them, etc. Not just their dialogue when reading their minds and stuff, but their actual grunts, screams, sounds when getting thrown and hit, etc. We thought they sounded so funny.

Does anyone know a place where these sound effects are uploaded and we can hear and listen to them again? I’ve found videos of recorded civilian and character dialogue and other sound clips but not regular sounds of them when they’re being attacked and whatnot.

Odd request, but if anyone can help, I’d appreciate it!

Lately when scrolling I’ve been getting posts from people I don’t follow, aren’t friends with, and have no clue who they are. Their posts usually have very little likes or interaction. Like random regular people just showing on my feed. I hide them each time but more and more just show up. This never used to happen. In the past I would get posts from actual friends, people I follow, group posts, pages I follow, etc.

Just this morning there was a post by some random guy bragging about how he killed a harmless rat snake. In no way have I ever followed or associated with this person. As an animal lover I don’t need to see that crap.

Why am I now seeing random posts from random people I’ve never even interacted with before.

Besides the obvious ones like Faded, do any of the songs have an actual song title? For example, the song used in the Desert level is actually called High Flyer by James/Beauvais. Are most of the songs used in the game original and created only for the game? Or do they have actual names and exist elsewhere?

Also, I heard the Desert song playing on Spring Baking Championship from the Food Network which got me thinking about all this.

I’m a front end employee and I frequently help with optical sunglasses roadshows. My job is basically to help you pick out a pair, write the ticket, and send you to the front to pay.

But I’m getting questions like…

What material are the lenses made of?

Which ones are best for fishing, golfing, or cycling?

Which lens is best for sensitive eyes?

Are these good for astigmatism?

Which ones have the best UV protection?

Are they impact resistant?

Which frame material is more durable?

Are these good for people with light sensitivity?

Are they made of polycarbonate?

What’s the difference in optical clarity between these lenses?

Do these distort peripheral vision?

Do these have a mirror coating and what type?

Do these have an anti-reflective coating?

Are they scratch and shatter proof?

What’s the difference between gray, brown, and green lenses?

And my favorite…
Are they “Polaroid?”

Yes, I frequently get members using the word Polaroid instead of polarized.

Dude. 😭 I’m not an optician. I know where the receipt paper is. I can answer basic glasses questions but a Costco roadshow is not really the place to ask super technical questions that a regular employee more than likely wouldn’t know. They’re sunglasses. Pick out one that you like and take it and go.

If you have technical questions about lenses, eye conditions or which glasses are best for a specific activity, please ask Optical!!

I am a Wingstop brownie lover. I love the chewiness and fudginess and I always add 1-2 with my order. I always order through the Wingstop app or DoorDash with either in store pickup or delivery. However, more often than not I’ve been having some brownie issues over the past couple of years with orders.

It’s almost guaranteed now that whenever add a brownie, something goes wrong. Yesterday I placed an order through the app with two brownies. I pick it up, go home, brownies are not there.

Today I tried my luck again, ordered from a different Wingstop restaurant. Added two brownies. Received only one.

In the past when I do in store pickups I’ll sometimes look in the bag to make sure they’re there, more often than not they aren’t so I go back in and ask about it. But lately I’ve been doing delivery so I don’t have that option.

Besides these most recent two times, there have been so many times in the past I’m missing the brownie altogether or I’m shorted one.

So what’s with the brownie situation? When a customer submits an order, is the brownie part like, easy to miss on your screen or receipt that prints? Does anyone else have this issue? Seems kinda odd that it happens at both locations near me.

Every time we have the Citi card table up, or more recently the digital membership card promotion table up, membership pulls from front end. We are already short handed as it is. Do all warehouses do this? Also, lots of the front end people don’t even know how these promotions work. I think it would make more sense to have actual membership people promote membership things. They always set up the table far away from anything so when you need help or have a question, you have no one to ask because you can’t leave.

For the last several months I’ve been getting disturbing posts involving animal abuse on my feed. Whether it’s a news article talking about what a person did to an animal before being arrested, or just a picture of an animal in distress or being abused. Just right now I got a picture of someone I don’t even follow posting a picture of a glue trap with two dead mice on it, the post right after that was an article talking about a man and how he killed two kittens, describing how he killed them. I always hide these posts and mark them as disturbing, hoping the algorithm kicks in and realizes I don’t want to see this stuff but nothing seems to be working. I’m tired of it. As an animal lover I don’t need to see this shit first thing in the morning from people and pages I don’t even follow.

Is there something I’m doing wrong to get this crap off my feed?

For over a year I could tell my Echo things like “Alexa, shuffle my music,” “shuffle,” or “turn shuffle on,” and it would shuffle whatever I was listening to on Spotify without any issues. I do this specifically with a single playlist I created.

Out of nowhere, it stopped working. Spotify playback itself is completely fine, I can still ask Alexa to play music, specific artists, albums, or playlists, and it does so normally. The only thing that no longer works is shuffle.
Every single shuffle command now gets the same response:

“I can’t shuffle music right now.”

I’ve already factory reset the Echo, unplugged it, unlinked and relinked Spotify, verified Spotify is my default music service, and nothing has changed.

It seems really odd because Spotify works perfectly otherwise. It’s only the shuffle command that has completely stopped functioning.

Has anyone found a fix for this, or is this just a bug with the Alexa/Spotify integration?

Over the past several months I’ve lost about 20 pounds, and for a while I genuinely felt like I had finally figured things out. I was counting calories every day, staying within my goal, and I actually enjoyed seeing the progress on the scale. I felt motivated, confident, and like this was finally becoming my lifestyle instead of just another diet. Then, over the past few weeks, something changed. I honestly can’t even tell you what triggered it. It’s like a switch flipped in my brain. I’ve started binging again, craving junk food constantly, and slipping back into the eating habits that caused me to gain weight in the first place.

The weird part is that I know what I need to do. I know how to count calories. But for some reason, I can’t seem to get myself back into that mindset I had before. Every day I tell myself “Tomorrow I’ll get back on track,” and then I end up repeating the same cycle.

I’m also scared to step on the scale because I’m worried I’ll see that I’ve undone a lot of my progress, even though I know avoiding it probably isn’t helping.

Has anyone else gone through something like this after months of doing really well? If so, what caused it for you, and more importantly, what actually helped you break the cycle and get back to being consistent?

I woke up this morning and noticed five separate refunds of $15.16 credited to my credit card. My banking app says they all came from Amazon Prime. I never requested a refund, canceled my Prime membership, or contacted Amazon. I have no idea what these refunds are for.

Has anyone else had this happen? Did Amazon make a billing mistake, or is there another explanation?

Edit: just found ANOTHER refund of the same amount in another card I have linked to my Amazon account. That’s $90.96 that has mysteriously appeared in my accounts overnight.

This one is going to be short but one I’ll never forget. It was several years ago. I was at Petco, standing near the entrance waiting for my friend to be done checking out. I was wearing black sweatpants, and a big black hoodie with a big picture of Jack Skellington’s face in the center. All black, all sweats.

Lady comes up out of nowhere, points at me and asks if I work there. I’m flabbergasted. What part of me even remotely suggests that I work there?

Can’t make this crap up.

31F, 5’8. After about seven years, and constantly yo-yoing up and down, this morning I saw the number. 199.3

It’s been so hard. Cravings, binging, excuses. But I decided to crack down and DO something after so long. Food no longer has control over me.

I am already feeling like a completely new person. I still have about 50 more to reach my goal. But no longer seeing that number 2 in front is a whole new kind of breath of fresh air. It’s almost hard to believe, but I made it. Milestone accomplished. 💪🏻

Holy crap. That finale had me glued to the screen. Everyone coming together to stop the cannon from overloading while singing that breathtaking song. I watched everyone one by one coming together and working as a team and each one made me more happy.

Once the main group got together, and after the other overlords came, I was thinking “this would be perfect if Val and Velvette came together and helped too” but then I was like nahh… they’re probably off hiding somewhere and want nothing to do with it. But then I saw how they decided to join in and when I tell you I literally smiled ear to ear…. I haven’t grinned that hard in a long time.

Then Alastor and Rosie came too which was the icing on the cake. Love how everyone contributed and sang and came together….

I do have one question that I’m still confused about. When it showed Alastor and Rosie right before they helped out, what were they singing about? Rosie was asking why Alastor wasn’t helping them and he said he doesn’t work for free. Then they just sang about each other and whatnot, what was the turning point that made Alastor decide to jump in? I couldn’t follow along that part.

Anyway, I cannot wait for season 3 (and the next season of Helluva Boss for that matter). I’m so glad I finally decided to watch the series. I’ve seen the pilot on YouTube numerous times and finally decided after several years to watch the series and holy shit. What a work of art. 🌈💖
