    Steve reacted to Scoobert_Doo in Kiko Pop not working for me?   
    What version of Windows and what browser/version do you use?
    For now, there is a "fix" for Chrome to keep the Flash setting, even after you close it. Type, without the quotes, "chrome://flags" into Chrome's address bar and hit the enter key. In the search bar, again, without the quotes, type "Flash". Look for the "Enable Ephemeral Flash Permissions" setting, and change it from "Default" to "Disabled". Click the "Relaunch Now" button. Chrome should now keep your Flash setting. As an alternative, you can go directly to the setting by typing or copying and pasting the following in Chrome's address bar:
    "chrome://flags/#enable-ephemeral-flash-permission"
    However, even doing that hasn't fixed Kiko-Pop. Kiko-Pop still loads, but the buttons don't seem to work. It's as if the Flash update changed something and broke Kiko-Pop, or, well, I guess Meepits.

    I've been having the same problem since the Altador Cup awarded the bobbleheads. I sent in a ticket and they confirmed there were ghost bobbleheads taking up inventory space and that they were working on it, but it's been over 2 months and it still hasn't been fixed unfortunately.

    Steve reacted to Kute in Immigrants being sent back   
    My heart really hurts for all those people who are being deported in the US because of their illegal status. I read stories of people who have lived their whole lives in the U.S., (30+ years)  have careers, and children but have been sent back to nothing. Some are teens/adults that were born in Mexico and came to America as babies and dont even speak Spanish, but are being sent to live in Mexico. 
    I understand both sides of the story and I am non-partisan, but as a sociology major and someone with a desire to help adolescents live better lives it is painful to see all this happening.
    Everyone in America got here because their ancestors came as immigrants. How can it be right to deny people from having better quality of life if they want to have it by coming to the land of opportunity!  I feel my heart and mind lie more with the ethics than the politics of it all. 
    Has this scare tactic for beefing up boarder security gone too far? What is your take on the situation ??? Could it have been dealt with differently?

    I know I'm straying off topic, but... are you seriously saying you don't think the Sandy Hook school shooting happened? Oh boy. I don't see how lack of footage can count as evidence for something not happening, so I'm not really sure how to effectively counter that argument, but here's a link to a really depressing Cracked article, about how the father of one of the kids who died gets death threats from people who don't believe the shooting happened; it has some links that debunk the conspiracy theories. (Warning that Cracked uses swear words that aren't allowed on the forums.)
    Anyway, as a rule, I think it's best to stay far, far away from any conspiracy theories. Rule of thumb: if something sounds as ridiculous as the police going door to door to collect people's kitchen knifes, it's probably not true. And if it's something about another country, but that country isn't reporting on the thing*, it's also most likely not true. But when in doubt, Snopes often has a good, well-researched answer. Here's an article they did on a UK knife ban, back in 2015. It sounds like some of the things @babayaga67 read might originate from things quoted in there. Plus, if you want to read more depressing stuff, here's an extensive article debunking a conspiracy video that claimed the Sandy Hook shooting didn't happen.
    After diving deep into "Sandy Hook Truther" territory (which unfortunately only requires a simple "Sandy Hook" google search), I'm going to look at videos of puppies and kittens for a while now.
     
    *Google tip: if you want to search something on a specific site (say you want to know if the BBC ever reported on a knife ban), you can enter this into the search engine:
    site:bbc.co.uk knife ban
    That way it'll only search bbc.co.uk for articles. Here's a site with more search tips.

    Steve got a reaction from Vlagopus in Day 8 - Zurroball   
    If you have decent hand-eye coordination my advice would be to just try to keep the ball in the air in the middle of the screen without doing anything fancy. Release the ball so it immediately drops, and then try to click as close to the center of the ball as you can so that it doesn't jump much, one point at a time. I know it's easier said than done, but in my opinion it's better with this game to keep it simple.

    Steve got a reaction from Vlagopus in Day 4 - Meerca Chase II [DOUBLE DARE]   
    It's kind of hard to explain in text so I'll try my best, but my advice would be to play like it's freestyle mode and go around the map in circles. If a negg spawns near the middle or close to the wall, face the meerca away from the middle (at a slight angle so you aren't just moving straight towards the wall) and keep tapping the up arrow to edge along until you can get the negg and then resume going in circles. Like was said previous, this game is based almost entirely on luck so it might be easier to just keep resetting until your first or second negg are worth a bunch.

    Hold down the up arrow immediately after starting the game, and then like Steve said, travel in circles. You can use a spiral path to gradually move closer or further from the center to get neggs as they pop up. If a negg comes up very close to the center, or in a corner, it IS possible to get them, but I've always found it pretty difficult. You can keep restarting until you get some high-pointed neggs early in the game. 
    As far as the 10% skill part, I think the main thing to remember is just to take your time. If you miss a negg the first time you go around, don't panic, just go around the circle again. Don't swerve around wildly or try to turn yourself around and go back for it.

    I'm glad they're allowing all items to be donated this year but I feel like the rewards will be lackluster, guess we'll have to wait and see.
    As for the point system , this is what has been collected by users which may or may not be entirely accurate at the moment (points are per item):
    r102-130 = 4 points
    r101 = 1 point
    r98-r100 = 8 points
    r90-97 = 6 points
    r80-89 = 2 points
    r79 and less = 1 point

    There are still ~150 spots left for a bronze trophy if anyone is decent at Kass Basher!

    They're probably giving people extra time (typically an extra day, sometimes half a day) to complete the first day like they have done with previous rewards from events (GMC, Daily Dare, etc), so Day 2 will most likely start tomorrow.

    Here's an easy way to see which stocks are at 15 until the bargain page is fixed in case you don't already own most stocks:
    - View a page where the scrolling stock marquee is shown (easier to do on pages with little information, like the buy page), right click, and View page source
    - Hit Ctrl+F and type " 15 " (without the quotes; make sure there's a space before and after the 15), and it will highlight which stocks are currently at 15
