    Computer Issues

    So I was having blue screens of death with a variety of different error messages that all indicated corrupt windows install, bad hardware drivers, memory issues, etc. I just removed my GPU and one stick of ram (only one in now). I installed a fresh copy of Windows 11 on a new-in-box SSD and ran...

    Them handing out xp bonuses without nerfing overall xp is a big miss. It's letting players speedrun to "The Shadows of Luclin continues"

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    There were over 90 iirc. I closed them all in the original game Twice. I loved every one. Edit: Oblivion Gates (Oblivion) There are 100 distinct locations where a gate can appear, and as each gate is closed that particular location will never spawn a new gate without the use of console...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Had this conversation yesterday over a juicy watermelon. Someone was advised by their doctor to stay away from diruetics including watermelon. I'm sure there was more to the story but the idea that I can drink a cup of coffee or beer and piss more than a cup of urine is silly.

    The Astronomy Thread

    For an ape in a species that's been using nuclear reactions for less than 100 years, you seem *really* confident about the limitations of physics. I hope for your own sake you don't approach every situation in life with the assumption, "I know everything" like you're doing here.

    All your questions have answers in https://arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/9909087 Aberration and the Speed of Gravity Abstract The observed absence of gravitational aberration requires that “Newtonian” gravity propagate at a speed c g > 2 × 1010 c. By evaluating the gravitational effect of an...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Holy hell is this thread turbofucked. Sylas arguing that the most popular answer to the Fermi Paradox is the only possible answer and then dying on that hill makes for some bad reading. My favorite answer: The Prime Mover switched the "Enable Life" bit some 4ish billion years ago and said...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Cool. Please build a list of arbitrary words you think people shouldn't utilize. I recommend leverage, literally, epic and synergy.

    I don't think I've ever used it in a sentence but words have specific meanings, philistine.

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    I wonder what the long-term modding scene of Oblivion Remake will be, given that Unreal Engine 5 will be best-gen tech for a long time. I wonder if they will upgrade it to new versions of Unreal Engine.

    There is something so primal about these videos. My body isn't sure if it's a 13 year old boy seeing boobs for the first time or a 3 month old baby seeing their mom delivering the next meal.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    This is true more often than people who rage at PUGs care to admit. Most people smart and dedicated enough to play a difficult game well are smart and dedicated enough to either find good players to game with or actually enjoy carrying PUGs. Carrying bad PUGs was my favorite passtime in Mass...

    You're not missing anything. The ads are a complete farce. The only meaningful gameplay is at the high-levels where events like Swordland Showdown, State vs State, Castle Fights etc are fun strategy gameplay at the top of a p2w grindgame. You could, of course, get much better versions of those...

    Chat GPT AI

    This subreddit I just found is different. Basically a support group for people who use AI bf/gfs. There's a few predictable threads talking about acceptance (or lack thereof) from their friends and family or talking about how their AIs are doomed to be reset. The thread I posted is...

    Yeah the Hall of Governors is complete $$$ bait. I do enough to earn the rewards but it's pointless to try scoring highly without being a whale. Even if you saved up every resource and speedup you had for weeks to place high in a given HoG, you'd only get enough shards for a mid-rank Hero, which...

    I remember discovering that with a little bit of magic resist the screen merely darkens from the boots. I felt like i discovered the key to the universe and spent an embarrassingly long time squinting at my dark ass game before realizing i could just increase my magic resist.

    Yeah with how many people listen to litrpg I don't know why authors have huge stat pages. I skip every one which is annoying when I'm driving, mowing the lawn etc. I really doubt most readers care about more than a few +gooderer stats. Path of ascension has minimal stat bullshit which is a...

    I remember in little league as a pitcher being trained to finish every pitch with a stance ready to catch this. It's so infrequent that people at all levels of baseball get lazy.

    Guild Wars 2

    Not sure what you mean by carrot, but as you probably already know GW2's major characteristic is there really is no standard MMO / RPG growth carrot. Once you do the basic leveling, and get post level 80 gear, you're pretty much complete and everything is cosmetic, alts or separate growth paths.
