05/23 - Wat Wednesday!

That VRAPI was easy as fuck. At worst it was $10 for 15 minutes of work.

 

I guess I can start drinking again right?

Yeah, it was as easy as the first one. I just submitted mine. Not sure how excited I will be if I pass. There must be a reason why hundreds of them have been sitting there for days.

They are sitting up for days because everyone cherry picks the non dog shit ones and the rest are impossible or not worth the hourly after a few hours of the batch being up.

 

Yea I'm having a really hard time? Finding it. I didn't so much on the last one. I'm so frustrated I'm like returning good hits just to stay focused

 

That's what I meant. The experienced people will know which ones to cherry pick right away. A good rule of thumb might be: If there no outside photos, don't bother with it.

I almost returned the first test but before I did, I realized that they aren't giving us a listing which cannot be figured out. In other words, there are clues in the listing. I would suggest reading it over again slowly.

 

I definitely noticed the clues (I think), it's more finding it visually. Somehow it's like not happening. Good thing I have like 10 more hours or however long

 

Holy crap, you guys were right, this was so easy. I'm a dork.

 

if I got the right one I overlooked it a billion times

also this morning:

lefty to SO: hey do I have time to do this? like an hour or something?
lefty SO: yeah
15 minutes later
lefty SO: WE HAVE TO LEAVE NOW THE TRAFFIC IS AWFUL
~*~cue lefty agonizing about the hit for 9 hours as they're out and about, trying to find it on a mobile screen~*~

 

Hah, I would be so stressed out too. I was expecting like. More sneakiness than this this time. So I didn't look in the most obvious place

 

if I didn't rock the shit out of that VRAPI qual i will be very surprised.
