I bought the Gamesir controller G7 Pro.

When I try to play my games, the configuration is incorrect. For example, B is Y, up is down, menu is right bumper, and so on.

When I try to configure it in Crossover on Steam, some buttons don't read in the configuration, and none of the settings cross over to the games I am trying to play.

Does anyone know how to fix this, or does the controller simply not work for Crossover?

Thank you

I am looking for my first e-bike as I move into the city. These were the first I stumbled upon, and I really like some of them.

I am wondering if anyone has any experience with them or if there are any thoughts people have on them.

I dont really know where to look for my first bike so I keep coming back to this company.

Thank you

I want to move to a primarily Amex setup, and I just need the Amex Platinum card.

I applied for the Schwab card, and I got PUJ. I am not sure if that's because I have opened about 8 cards in the last 2 years, I opened the Amex Gold 2 months prior, or because I don't have a strong relationship with Amex yet.

Basically, I want to know whether I can get another card (the US Bank +) or if I shouldn’t, since it would lower my chances of getting out of PUJ.

I spend about 1-1.5k a month on my Amex cards. I have my checking, savings, business checking, and business credit with them, which I believe should help me with the relationship part.

I know PUJ is a bit of a black box, so no one knows for sure, but I am sure there are some data points or hunches people have.

Don't get me wrong, I loved this game and I'm glad I played it. I went through the whole game (almost) completely blind, without any hints or help, and I'm really glad I did it that way.

There are many times I got stuck and I would spend hours figuring out how to do something, re-reading, re-exploring. And I would feel accomplished after. but at the very end, when it was time to enter the Twin Project core and I had no more question marks anywhere, I couldn't figure out how to do it.

I spent probably five hours trying to figure it out. I re-read everything in my log. I went back to core places like The High Energy Lab and the Black Hole Forge and I reread everything. I took photos of everything I could find and looked back at all the text. Often I tried so many theories, went down so many rabbit holes, and I couldn't figure it out

Most of the time was spent at the correct place, at the Twin Planet Towers but I couldn't figure out how to make it work. I was afraid that I was nowhere close and I was going down a dead end, like I did for other theories throughout the game, and I didn't want to spend several hours going down the wrong way.

I found a guide online that gave incremental hints from vague to implicit. I realized quickly that I was on the right path but I kept going to the more obvious hints. Finally there was one hint that, while it didn't directly tell me what to do, I knew what it meant and it was correct. Then I beat the game.

Now I don't know exactly why I feel this way but I feel, deflated, anti-climactic, and sad. I wish I was able to get the accomplishment from doing it without any help but I didn't. I don't know exactly what I'm trying to get out of this post. I guess I'm just looking to talk out loud to a community that might understand. I don't need any responses but thank you for anyone who read this and/or chose to respond.

Thank you.

The Rakuten Credit Card

Rakuten gives only 1X on non groceries through Rakuten.

However, if you place an order with Rakuten activated on the web and even though you order only groceries it will give 4x MR

Things to know:
Only works with Sam’s Club (Costco is not on Rakuten)

Must be an online delivery or pickup order through the web, no in store shopping or ordering through the app.

I did it myself and it gives me 4x.

Hello All

The Rakuten credit card gives 4% when shopping through Rakuten.

Obviously if the merchant does not accept Rakuten then you only get 1%.

But what if you use Rakuten at checkout but get items that aren’t eligible for cashback?

Main example: Sam’s Club

Sam’s Club gives 0% on groceries but 1% on non food items.

If I checkout using Rakuten, have the Rakuten green check on the browser but only get grocery items, will I get the 4% the credit card gives?

Thank you

Rate and critique this setup.

Core Setup

Amex Platinum: travel - breaks even on credits, earns MR - travel and purchase protections (peace of mind) - likes the cultural status

---

Amex Gold:
Hits my biggest two categories, restaurants and dining - earns MR - I break even on credits

Amex Blue Business Plus: Catch all - earns MR

Rakuten: 4x MR on basically all online shopping

———

Extra:

Chase Freedom Flex & Discover it: random misc 5+% categories that might be relevant during the quarter

Fidelity Credit Card: Backup card if Amex is not acceptances and for obvious non business expenses like medical

Amazon: all Amazon purchases, simply can’t beat 5-7% back.

Apple Card: My oldest account - Credit age

Fidelity debit card: No FTF, ATM fee rebates

Korger 5% card: Misc spending (might get nerfed soon)

Saw old posts saying to not expect a high credit limit so I believe it would be beneficial if I shared that I got one.

749 Credit Score
4 Recent hard inquires
≈60,000 in potential debt (all my credit limited combined)
$78,000 in annual income

Hello all,

In the next 12 months my goal end setup is

Amex Gold
Amex Plat
Amex BBP
And Rakuten CC

I have the Gold and BBC.

Rakuten just hit a $200 elevated welcome offer and I only want to apply for the card when it hits an elevated $200.

However, I just got the gold a month ago, I have a credit score of 749 and I still have four hard inquires on my account from my past habit of credit card maxing.

I’m worried if I get the Rakuten it will hurt my relationship with Amex and reduce my chances of acceptance or personal offers for the plat and BBP from Amex. Bc of their sensitivity to churning and credit card maxing.

Is my concern valid? Should I wait to get the Rakuten or jump on it now?

Thank you

Am I able to get a better CPP than 1.1x by using my MR points to book basic economy flights?

Domestic basic economy and international basic economy?

What about the ticket right above like main cabin or economy?

Or do you really only get high CPP when booking international first class tickets?

Thank you.

Call me crazy if I am but while I really want to get the Amex cards I might as well bet on a Green refresh this year and get that welcome offer before getting the gold and plat.

I’m begging Amex to make the green viable so I can have all three and business cash plus.

I’ve been going credit card 5% maximus for awhile and I’m ready to settle into one ecosystem. I chose Amex and now I’m just waiting.
