PSNOT 3.0 - Let's Talk About University of Kentucky, Baby!

There's no confirmation of this, but Microsoft apparently didn't say Dead Rising 4 was XB1-console-exclusive, so there might be hope for a PS4 version later on like for Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Raining and humid like a mofo outside and my car won't start. Battery doesn't even have enough juice to power my quick starter either so I have have to go buy a new battery today, so that's fun. Working from home in the meantime.

Is this the vehicle you drove to Iowa?

The old battery being 5 years old and the fact that the new battery powered some of your accessories tells me the battery was at least part of your problem. If the battery was dying when you took your road trip, it probably taxed your alternator; meaning time for a new one of those.

Just because the voltage on the old battery was 11.7 doesn't mean it was still good; that reading was with no load on the battery. 3-4 years is about what you get from most car batteries these days.

Of course, with the mileage on your car it could be the starter (is there any noise made when you try to start the car; clicking or whirring?) or even the fuel pump (didn't you have issues starting your car back in the winter, and some fuel additive helped?).

At this stage, though, sounds like your best bet is a good mechanic.

Sorry to hear about your problems.
 
And not to rub it in Zimm's face, but the beach is FANTASTIC!

Could use some more 'scenery', though. I see a lot of ladies in Wren's preferred age bracket, but most of them don't look great in bathing suits.

No this car was sitting in my driveway doing nothing the whole time I was in Iowa this weekend. Just clicked this morning, then after a jump attempt it tried to turn over and failed and then after new battery it also tried to turn over and failed.

It's just gonna be mechanic time now. Have to suck it up and pay for a tow.

 
Pitfall, Marcus Mooney was a good college SS. I would think he'd be a second basemen at the next level; doesn't really have the range of most MLB SS. He hits the ball well to all fields, and does know how to lay down a bunt, which seems to be a lost art anymore.

RIP the Gamecocks baseball season. Couldn't hit the Oklahoma St. starters. We have a young team, though, so next year should be promising.

Time for football season.
 
Welp, one of our bank employees was confirmed killed in the Orlando shooting.  The branch he worked at is here in Tampa.

I thought some people here used a Prime trial to order games with the 20% off so here's some info about ordering with a trial membership:

Prime members save on new release games and get free release day delivery.
Must be a Prime member at time of delivery.

Checking the FAQ:

1. I have a Prime free trial. Am I covered? Yes, any customer with an active free trial or paid Prime subscription at the time of placing an eligible order and the time of shipment will receive the discount.

That's different. When they first launched the 20% program I was on a trial when I ordered a game. I still got 20% off when it shipped.

Wait, so they're gonna add 20% and/or shipping back into the price they said they're gonna charge me when I checked out? That doesn't seem like a thing that can happen. I placed a No Man's Sky pre-order with my free trial and it says right on the order summary my charge amount. No way they can change that up.

 
Zimm, I hope your 420th game was worth it.

Also make sure that the 6666 trophy is good too.

Probably won't edit existing orders, but they could look at your membership to see if it is valid when the game you're pre-ordering releases. That sounds pretty messy, though, since then you end up with Prime renewals leaving those pre-orders hanging at full price unless they're edited later on.

 
Trials of the Blood Dragon got rated a while back with this logo, so yeah it looks like that's what's going on:

Is there a new invite link? I didn't sign up for discord yesterday (otherwise I would have stayed logged into the channel) and that link has expired.

Just saw this and I assume you've taken steps to getting it fixed (if you haven't already resolved it), but sometimes a security reset needs to be done. Try turning the key to engage the battery but don't turn it over. Let it set like this for 30 seconds. Once should do it but you might need to leave it longer or do it multiple times.

Hopefully you already got it figured out, but I don't have time to flip through here atm to see.

Do you mean turn it all the way like I'm going to start it, and hold it there for 30 seconds? Or like to the accessory setting?
