What's an experience that is unique to your country of residence?
  • To be fair, the deserts in the north are frozen. And the taiga here is more connected to them than to us.

  • Why do Counterstrike and the other top 10 games on Steam NEVER change?
  • The front-end launchers that are most popular basically work that way; they have browsers that makes installing mods as simple as one click. The Bedrock edition also somewhat works that way, it just has fewer impressive mods and they're not free.

  • Sudo
  • Half Light: "That sounds bad -- a log-in attempt. Something a criminal would do. "

  • His age keeps becoming more and more apparent
  • "Ah man, I forgot my password."

    "What's the hint?"

    "'What is tasty?'"

    "Hmm... Interesting philosophical question there. What is tasty? Is a thing tasty on its own or is it merely how one perceives it? Can anything truly be considered tasty, in an objective way...?"

    "Oh! I remember. Candy. Candy is tasty!"

  • After all, how far inland could a hurricane go?
  • I'm pretty sure there is nowhere in the entire universe you can go that wouldn't be subject to some kind of natural disaster except maybe the voids. The big swaths of space with literally nothing in them? But then you'd just be subject to man-made disasters like your space ship/station crumbling to pieces due to poor maintenance or someone going space crazy and murdering everyone aboard.

    Even then you might get obliterated by a GRB from some far-off solar system.

  • Modern Cinderella
  • I've experienced it. 😉

  • ‘USELESS’ [OC]
  • I wanted to make something like this years ago when my mom would constantly turn my PC off while I was trying to download shit while I slept, so it would just turn the machine back on if it was turned off.

  • PlayStation product manager says ads being shown was just a bug
  • The bug was that it was rolled out prior to when they wanted to roll it out.

    They're definitely gonna try and put ads in there in the future. 😬 Was just comparing experiences with another user here last night about this (they had the ads but I did not) and seeing as they were across the pond from me and don't even have the hub yet, it's like they were just testing the waters in a specific region.

  • I didn't know HOW bad Google search has gotten.
  • The AI overview thing is completely full of shit 99% of the time, too.

    It's given me fake URLs, made up information about Google's own services/support methods, fabricated tutorials for video games, and other insane shit.

    Like when I asked if Tsushima was a real place, it just gave a paragraph about the game (Ghost of Tsushima) and said that the game featured real, modern restraunts from Japan such as Narisawa and fast food places like McDonald's. The game takes place in or close to the feudal period.

  • Why do people keep fact-checking Republicans? 😭
  • Because Republicans keep saying shit that isn't accurate or even real.

  • Send Nudes
  • Guy here: I can send titty pics if you really want. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • What's an artist / band that you used to dislike, but now enjoy?
  • Slipknot.

    Still don't like the look the band has, but I like the music now.

    Korn is almost the same except I still also don't really like their music.

  • Well this is awkward
  • Can we at least all agree that the best game in this franchise is Beat the Meat?

  • [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday
  • It's gotta have some reason to buy it. If it's not the price, and it's not the power, it's the library. Sunk costs don't even come into play for someone who is looking to get a game machine trying to decide what to buy.

  • Steven Spielberg is ‘a big PC Gamer’ — loves shooters, and insists on keyboard and mouse
  • I mean... It's about video games, kinda. But I wouldn't call it a video game movie considering it's based on a book not a video game lol

  • Guess the Episode [Hard]
  • Man this is hard. I keep thinking about the episode of Futurama where Leela gets surgery to have 2 eyes.

  • How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality.
  • I find myself often wondering what colors look like to other people because there is no way to know for sure that what I see as red looks the same to everyone else. It's just a frequency of light. How the brain interprets that is anybody's guess. I can't describe the difference of red vs blue and I've never met anyone else who could either. Maybe what I see as red is actually what I see as blue to someone else.

  • ‘They are not safe’: Richmond Hill residents at traffic meeting want bike lanes installed this year removed immediately
  • It's only dangerous for the people on bikes because the people in cars drive like assholes, and of course those assholes don't want to accidentally kill someone. It might damage their car.

  • Would you consider making a sandwich to be "cooking?"

    Personally, I don't* but I was curious what others think.

    *some sandwiches excluded like a Cubano or chicken parm; those do require cooking.

    I feel like I am getting WEAKER the further I go; how do I actually get stronger?

    I'm half-way through Sedna right now. I have just 1 Warframe (though I did start building Limbo last night when I remembered I did that quest) and it, a long with my best weapons, are maxed out and either at mod capacity or damn near (still need endo for a few). MR5.

    I have a railjack, I unlocked the Operator, and I have so many resources and credits. But everything is starting to take forever to kill and hurts me so much. When I did the whole Drifter quest thing, I choose everything I already used but it was so much stronger. The Warframe had way more shield and health even though I have Redirection and Vitality maxed out on it. The Boltor had a super high ROF compared to what mine has and did way more damage.

    How the hell do I get that kind of power on my normal stuff? I know about Forma but I haven't even seen some of the mods for the weapons I have I've seen suggested for maximum damage, so I'm just hanging onto those until it makes sense to use them. Is that really the only way to get stronger?

    Top level comments sometimes end up as a reply to another random comment

    I'm not sure if this is a Lemmy issue, an instance issue or a Jerboa issue but occasionally when I hit the button to reply specifically to the main post and make a top-level comment, it instead replies to one of the already existing top level comments.

    I don't know how long this has been happening; I only just now noticed it wasn't me accidentally clicking the wrong reply button when it happened twice in a row and I was making absolute sure I hit the right button the second time.

    S Ranking in Armored Core 6 - Does anyone play? Help.

    I have 1 last achievement to get and it didn't seem like it would be that hard since I already got S rank without even trying on all the high payout missions when I was grinding cash for all the parts.

    However, a few seem to be completely arbitrary and not simply about speed and efficiency. Or maybe I am just not fast enough? I have to actually use a stop watch because the game doesn't actually tell you the mission time...

    Anyway I have literally 2 left that I can't get above A rank on and I don't know why.

    First is Stop The Data Breach. I zip through the level as fast as I can destroying the hacking nodes, and even take out the tetrapod in the hallway while waiting for the dialogue to continue and give me access to the last door leading to Iguazu. I know from watching a video of someone getting S rank that the damage and ammo costs I end up with are good (even lower) so it's gotta be the time it takes to do the final fight. But that dumbass Iguazu heals like 4 times every time he's down to nothing which makes it take way longer than it should. I can kill him faster but that would cost more in the ammo cost, assuming it even hits because the weapons that would allow near instant death are also super slow and he constantly dodged all over the place.

    The other is Destroy the Refuelling base. I've zipped straight to the main objective and killed the ACs at the end in under 2 minutes and got A rank. I've gone and blown up all the fuel dumps then the main objective and killed the ACs in just a few seconds more; still A. The fuck does it expect me to do? Finish in 30 seconds? I can use the fastest possible mech build and it still takes like a minute just to reach the objective going in as straight a line to it as you can.

    The lack of clear objectives listed for these arbitrary requirements is driving me crazy. I've looked for answers online, of course, but every answer is different. Some people got S rank doing this, others got it doing something else. Neither method worked for me, so it just feels like random.

    Why does Frame Generation say I am getting 60fps but it doesn't look or feel like it?

    Playing Ghost of Tsushima and just trying to get the best settings for my machine and was suggested to use high preset with resolution scaling off and frame Gen on.

    It certainly makes the FPS counter say it's 60fps now when it would constantly dip to 40, but it doesn't feel or look smooth at all. I can get 60fps without frame Gen in much of the game, and turning it off in those areas looks smoother and feels nicer.

    I've never used frame generation in anything else before so I don't know if this is normal or what's going on. Would it feel better if I uncapped the frame rate and turned off vsync?

    Could an animal be taught how to throw accurately?

    Just thinking about how I've read that humans are the only animals on the planet that can throw objects with a degree of accuracy. But could a dog or other animal be taught, and trained to throw things to hit a target? I mean, it's not like a human can throw well without guidance and practice, either.

    Would native speakers still understand words that are basically the same in Japanese as English?

    Like "radio" or "fantasy" or "game..." They're basically the same in Japanese (radjio, fantaji, gaamu) so if I just said them in English pronunciation, would someone with no experience in English still be able to tell what I'm saying?

    Quest 3 controllers disconnect and won't reconnect until restarting the whole system.

    Just curious if anyone else with a Quest 3 (or even 2 I guess) is having this issue. Seems to have only started after v68 dropped. Is there a fix? The patch notes said I should be able to handle the connection from the system menu, but there's nothing to force them back on or turn them off; it's the same shit that's been in there since I got the thing.

    [SPOILERS] They missed a huge opportunity for a PvP boss fight.
    Spoilers ahead for real; if you haven't gotten to the end of the DLC be warned.

    The fight against Leda and her allies vs you and yours was the coolest fight IMO. However, I am disappointed in it just because they didn't make it like the Mirror Knight or Half-Light. Instead of just the NPCs, it would have been gnarly to get actual players in there.

    It really annoys me because, you can have a big PvP melee with the group fights in the arena... But even the day they added those arenas, the queue for those matches is always seemingly empty. I have never been able to actually get into anything but duels.

    The AI being AI, it's not a particularly challenging fight. But man if they were real players, instead, it would have been an adrenaline rush.

    Can't find the locked spiritspring cairnes? Use a shackle.

    Just like you can use them to reveal illusory walls and kill chariots, Margit and Mogh's shackles can be used to unlock the locked spiritsprings.

    If anyone else has been tearing their hair out looking for some of these things, this oughta help.

    [SPOILERS] The Shadow Realm is, in fact, still inside the Lands Between.

    So we all thought that this island of clouds was the possible location for the DLC up until it was shown to be in a "different" realm, however...

    !

    The Shadow Realm appears to be at the exact center of TLB. Meaning that, even though the main map wasn't changed to reflect it, these lands are probably located under that shroud of clouds, obscured by magic.

    Is the world really empty or is it just that way because video game?

    I never really noticed or thought about this before but there's quite a bit of stuff in the DLC that has me questioning whether or not the game itself matches the lore in the sense that there are plenty of people who are alive and well (Melina's line when urging you not to seek the Flame of Frenzy also states that life still flourishes and that births still happen), they're just not shown in game because Fromsoft doesn't think they can do bustling, living cities well.

    What do you think? Are the few NPCs we meet all that's left in the world or are they just representative of a larger picture we don't see due to the fact it's a game?

    Game minimizes when being summoned?

    With the new update and DLC, I've noticed every time I get the being summoned message, the game will minimize. Like.... Every time. Anyone else getting this or am I uniquely being annoyed?

    Have you ever clicked on an ad *on purpose?*

    Just as the title says: Have you ever clicked on an ad, knowing it was an ad, on purpose? What ad was it? Why did you click it?

    Curious because I realized I have not once in my life clicked on an ad shown online on purpose. Accidentally, and being tricked into clicking the wrong thing sure; never with intent though.

    I'm just a weird, furry, pan guy (cis he/him). I also have a big, blue username.

    If I was a character in Danganronpa, my talent would be The Ultimate Loser and I'd be the first character killed in the murder game.
