Anyone looking to team up?

I’m a middle aged dad. I’m probably not the best but I used to be good-ish and my win/loss is typically skewed toward wins so I’m not terrible but that doesn’t matter to me, I’m super casual (now). Just looking for people to play with, kinda bored playin alone and am nostalgic for the days of 4 TVs and 4 Xboxes all in the same room. I play both the mcc and Infinite. Typically play evenings pacific time, lemme know if you’re interested!

Opps. Halp?

So i used some 99% isopropyl alcohol on a couple buttons on the deck and now my screen has weird streaks. I’m devastated. Will it be ok? It’s only viewable at certain angles but this has been the device i’ve taken best care of.

Update: The smudge is 99% gone but the weird X going across the whole screen remains. I’m only a little disappointed but I’ve been tinkering with electronics my entire life and I’ve never seen this before so I’m more fascinated than anything. View from my normal angle is undisturbed.

GC Seal Farming

In an effort to get some more discussion going I figured I'd ask this here. I'm in a mostly-solo FC right now and I need GC Seals like mad to upgrade my subs. I can't find any post-DT info on the quickest/best route to getting GC Seals. I know I can turn my nut sacks into gear in Old Sharlayan but I'm not interested in that, I'm looking for Unsync'd duties. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Stripped Screw Hole in Ceiling Advice

I was hanging a ceiling fan in this room when I discovered that the mounting screw holes in the electrical box are stripped. My dad has suggested using JB Weld putty, letting it cure, drilling it out with a small bit and then using wood screws. First time homeowner and have neither the confidence nor the expertise to completely replace the box. Is my dad’s route the best course of action or is it a waste of time and/or dangerous to go that route?
