It's time to mentally prepare yourselves for this
  • Honestly quote irrelevant. It's hidden away. It's not shown to us. It could use literally any frame of reference, like farts since the beginning of times, if it's converted for you, then it's not.

  • What is a video game that you'd love to play, but no one has developed yet?
  • A mix between world strategy like europa/total war, management of dynasty/kingdom/territory like crusader king, that can lead into invasion with advantages due to planning/bonuses in an RTS like like rise of nation bonus, extra armies etc , and rts like age of empire/mythology rise of natio , etc. That you can then further go into a single player hack&slash like mount & blade, or an fps like CoD or battlefield, where you are a singular soldier/leader.

    And with a significant time progression, such as going from stone age with clubs, to medieval, to modern with guns, to futuristic with space age and all.

    And it'd be very cool if you can basically hotswap between those. As in, you can go into the overworld, manage your empire, go back to rts to make units in a settlement getting attacked to defend it, and then realize you are losing on a front somewhere so you go full try hard with solo fps to try to hero your way to victory yourself.

    Will real time progression between all the environments ( not at the same scale of speed tho ), so you would be hard pressed to play on every front at once yourself, you gotta make choice on which part you do yourself to 'guarantee' a win, and what you hope the ai will do enough to win by itself, or maybe pop over there shorty to give yourself a boost or massacre a bunch of enemies in fps mode to make sure your ai can make work of the rest itself.

    Don't think this will ever see the light of day. Waaaaaaay too big. It's litterally multiple levels of very different games/genras mashed together, at once, and in parallel

  • The state of the discourse.
  • You think Israel would just let them take one of their hospital in the first place ? Why would that happen in the first place ? There would be an immediate military intervention , before they are deeply embedded

    In Palestine tho, hamas does what it wants. And nobody is there to stop them. So they already are in the hospitals, and in the streets leading to hospital, and watching the neighborhood where those are.

  • What are some modern bullshit jobs?
  • Lol it's so funny how many bad takes there are in this thread. But saying that the government knows everything g you owe is one of the worst one.

    No they fucking don't. Sometimes they aren't even sure that someone who got both his legs cut off needs disability, or that they can't regrow their legs.

    Or that a dead person can't have a job.

    Like, there are plenty of independent contractors and businesses that need to report their income, ecause how the fuck would they know that ?

  • Buying a new car is not better than keeping an old one
  • I feel like YOU are missing the point. Even tho you say exactly why this matters the most.

    Yes market respond to demand. Compa oes DGAF whether they pollute, only that people buy. That's why the ONLY solution is that all these companies are regulated to pollute less. If everyone has to, then they are still equal and people won't buy a cheaper alternative that happens to be more polluting.

    Hell, I'd go as far as to say that it only matters if the top 5-10 countries do it. If China, USA, and India don't do this, the entire world is fucked and there is nothing to be done by anyone else.

  • Amazon Anti Union propaganda
  • When it's a low amount in theft, it's more trouble involving police than just letting them go. It's also on their record, barring them for future job and putting in legal problem

    So it's better for everyone involved. Unless union want to literally defend a thief

  • Amazon Anti Union propaganda
  • I'm very pro union. But not all unions are good. My father's union is so bad he might actually be losing money. They just roll over for management to fuck them, barely negotiate anything at all. Last time, they 'negotiated' an increase in pay, and the increase was actually SMALLER than the increase in union dues.

    Oh, and they only defend the worst of the worst. Litteral thief, stealing, caught on camera, multiple times ? Well defend you tooth and nails. 'Til the management litterally had to get police involved for them to back down.

    Unions in general are good. But for some specific unions, ymmv.

  • Starfield Is Bethesda's Lowest-Rated Game On Steam
  • I honestly don't get it. It's Bethesda. We know them. We know what Bethesda does. Did people honestly expect something different? Did they delusion themselves into thinking it was going to be different?

    The game is exactly as i expected it to be. And I think it great.

  • I should buy a lottery ticket
  • Feel like I had very covid-like symptoms a couple of times. Not quite like a flu, similar, but a little different.

    Tested myself every time, always negative. Not sure if it's a false negative, or a variant that doesn't get a result on those tests tho. Almost hard to believe i never caught it tho, as I have been exposed a couple of times too.

  • Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC'
  • After some tweaking of settings, games runs fine. I shouldn't HAVE to do those things, but it's doing fine now

    For reference, 3700x, rtx 2070s. Game heavily gpu bound. 50-60fps, no lag, no stutter , no whatever, honestly I never noticed losing a couple of fps, and that's just in crowded cities/areas, in other place it'll go higher.

    What I did :

    • update drivers
    • installed free dlss mod from nexus
    • most setting on medium, render scale 50%, shadows on low

    After doing this, everything has been 100% fine and never had any other issues. Before, I sometimes had slideshow in new Atlantis, heavy stutter, occasionnal massive fps drops. But these 3 things have 100% resolved my issues entirely

  • Kirk's smile of success.
  • We had to do similarly for one of our cats. Grab the cat. Bend the head up. It will practically force the mouth open. Shove the pill deep into it. Close the mouth.

    At least, at some point she learned to give up and stop resisting so damn hard every time.

  • Researching alcohol interventions for a friend. I’ve seen more ads for alcohol than ever in my life
  • You can follow pi hole website to do it https://pi-hole.net/

    Very easy, straight forward, and well explained.

    The only thing you might want to check before buying something or trying this is if your router allows to set custom dns servers. Basically,connect to your router, and check the step 3, and see if it has the option for it. From my understanding some might not have the option.

    Not necessary, but a next step can also be to install a VPN and route your mobile phone thru it too. Means you are also covered on the go, so no ads on mobile too , when you aren't home too !

    Do 5.1 audio switch exist ?

    Ive been searching for one, but someone, I am entirely unable to find one. I dont understrand WHY its so difficult, i feel like its super straightforward ?

    I have a set of 5.1 speakers. logitech z506. It has an in for 3.5 audio, the green / orange / black trio.

    My computer and and TV are near each other, so i want to be able to use the speakers for either of them. Not at the same time, but be able to switch from TV input to PC input, without having to plug/unplug cables.

    My computer does have the 3 3.5mm cable output, as well as a optical audio output. I believe my TV only has RCA out for stereo, but it does also have an optical audio output port.

    So, Im looking for something that has 2 input, either 2 optical or 1 optical + 3x3.5mm(green/orange/black) to 1 output, the green/orange/black 3.5mm

    But i absolutely cannot find anything. Closest ive seen are AV reveiver, which is just massively overkill and too expensive to just use it as an audio switch

    Anyone know how i can find those ? It cant possibly not exist right?

    If you have any solution or products i could buy that be great. ( Especially if its available in Canada )
