Color me disapproving.

The Sword are back! Sorta, I guess? Mastodon. This song is over a decade old and still one of the greatest I have ever heard. Wish it had a cool ass music video with aquatic armies surging against the land based foes screaming freedom and shit though, in glorious CGI similar to Pts. Of...

"A Legend of Zelda Story"

Ok now that I'm hearing more about the Deep Desert, it clears some things up. Still sounds very exploitable, but 36:02 the guy mentions that you can only have a 50% presence. Ie, 50 Harks vs. 50 Hawks. You can't actually flood the zone (which was my initial fear) based on faction. Still...

I mean they can't still be in the 80s; I want to say season 4 was basically starting in the 90s. Which was fine, but yeah, as a period piece it's definitely past the point of anyone caring about the period in general. I'm curious how it ends, but yeah. Productions need to have defined series...

Given recent Hollywood trends, it's going to be Anya Taylor-Joy. Which while she's fairly easy on the eyes these days, I'm pretty sick of seeing her in everything. I can't see them getting a hard trans as any major character. It's funny as an idea, but it would cost them literally 10s to 100s...

I bet that tastes pretty alright while wearing a newspaper cape and heated over a trashcan full of old plastic and moth-eaten clothing. Related: Been in Austin for a couple of years now. This? Is organized and clearly at some church function. No official pictures exist of the madness that...

yeah the only weapon the peasants had was the crossbow the guy was loading near the first 3rd of the video that was even remotely going to be impactful (no pun intended) against the knight. There's a reason why knights would carry like a dirk or other short bladed weapon because it would end up...

I mean... how do they determine who gets to take part in said faction in each area? In NW, it was basically the leadership of the controlling company/etc, which meant you typically had the most geared/best players on the zerg faction vs. the best players of the other factions.... and everyone...

Fucking lawl. Most modern societies have determined that depicting child-like bodies in a sexual nature is kind of just wrong. Japan's 1000 year old dragon in a kid's body loophole is being examined (correctly) by countries who think you shouldn't sexualize children or those with child-like...

Check the boot drive, and look for kernel failures or boot drive failures in the /var/logs files. grep 'kernel' might give you a lot of information. If it just hard failed (ie, no logs between certain hours) then yeah you'll want to look at var/logs/messages and see what pops up. You'll see...

Eh, I've had linux hosts running for literal years without issue. But yeah, in general if you are gaming/etc or are using the GUI consistently, you are going to generally have more issues than just running the same setup on Windows. It has more to do with the variability of gaming/etc software...

Delicacy is really a code word for "shit you probably shouldn't eat" Fite me. I kind of question this broad, but the video was related.

I'm pretty sure the only reason the first two FF movies from the 2000s had any traction at all is that nerds really wanted to see semi-naked outlines of Jessica Alba. Because they are a super boring superhero group. You can absolutely feel the 1960s "oooh, so one of them can turn invisible...

Yeah the anime was pretty good. Also hilarious with the main character just constantly dying in hilarious/gruesome ways because the main bad guy is so much better than he is for the majority of the movie.

I like that in a couple of the shots you can see the momentum of the entire apparatus come to a slowdown as it transfers the kinetic energy to the head of a 4 year old. The fact these things still exist (potentially) is marvelous. Oh, and related:

Yeah New World dropped it when they basically fell off a cliff player wise if I remember right. But it doesn't really change the fact that it is going to basically only favor the zerg guilds on public servers with a pretty dramatic impact on the balance of power. To the point where players are...

Mild digestive issues? That man's anus is bleeding!

https://www.dailychhattisgarh.com/news/shape-the-sands-dune-awakening-unveils-epic-player-driven-landsraad-world-altering-decrees/1341/ Great. Take the worst aspect of New World and make it even worse, and a part of base gameplay. Why do these companies never learn? edit - in New World, your...

My problem with most Korean mmos is that eventually you are at the complete mercy of rng with weapon/armor upgrades. Stupid upgrade systems typically having massive failure rates at a certain point unless you want to spend money for the guaranteed success. Super retarded. That said, I really...

The one complaint I had (haven't done the ice areas yet; last I played it was the swamp/tree stuff that was added) is the random world chest drop stuff for the "best" gear. You can't craft the best (which is what I wanted =/) but finding the best basically required you to spawn camp chests that...

I think I only ever played the demo on one of those PS1 demo discs. Just using the taser with infinite range and electrocuting everyone for great justice. They turned into basically stealth mission games though yeah?

Played through a couple of earlier iterations. Valheim has building on it for certain, but the kind of static nature of Enshrouded is pretty nice too. Reminds me a lot of Age of Conan. Good game for the pricepoint.

Central Texas is basically a bag of fire dicks for like half the year. The humidity is off the goddamn charts and it meshes super well with the 105+ degrees every day, with lows in the evening of 85. The fact there are homeless people period in the Austin area is mindboggling. Whatever drugs...

It always tickles me a little that we debase chickens specifically so hard compared to any other animal. Serving filet mignon with a demiglace is a close second, but battering chicken wings in egg between layers of seasoned flour is clearly numero uno.

Cyclists, as a general rule, are a cancer. And I love riding my bike around the neighborhood/etc, but on actual roads in actual cities/towns/whatever? Fucking cancer. Even in cities where there's tons of infrastructure (Santa Barbara, CA comes to mind) the average cyclist thinks they are a...

It's actually for exactly the reason that was laid out by you and Kirun. Generally speaking, your average indian tech person is doing it to get out of abject poverty. There's a reason why the overwhelming majority of programmers that come out of India are Java guys - it's the quickest way they...

Gotta be honest, a lot of these western developed "jrpg" games are kind of like drinking a lacroix orange vs. an orange juice. You get a hint of what they are doing, but it isn't nearly the same.

The leveling system in these games (even Skyrim) always just makes me sad. Like it has a good baseline but then they do the dumb crap with major/minor or needing to forge 10k daggers or whatever. It always reminds me of the retarded leveling system in FF8, where playing normally actually makes...

Absolutely waiting until private servers are a thing. Public servers are straight cancer, and have been forever in regards to survival games. I'm pretty sure Funcom knows this, and they are hoping the bullshit and strife of the public only stage will drive conversation. Sad times.

Wanting to be in management and actually being in management are very different things. And lets be honest here; if you are changing passwords manually you are doing shit wrong. The admin level you are talking about is and should be absolutely automated out of the tasks for the day. It's the...

As much as I dislike the guardrails on Azure DevOps, it does just kind of fucking work. Complain about MS as much as you like, but their products kind of just work better than cobbling together various freemie options with way less engineering overhead. This is coming from a guy who has only...

One of my previous companies basically did a 1:8 swap of US engs: Indian Engs. To say the learning curve was painful would be an understatement. We went from 99.999 to ~99 on uptime, which caused massive refunds and financial strife due to SLAs not being met. Mostly because they gutted QA and...

Oh absolutely. Like I said, I think it's dumb, and it's equally dumb on the other end where so much shit that could/should have been an email instead of a meeting that goes nowhere and then position expectations are based on a schedule swiss-cheesed with weekly checkins/etc... it honestly...

I don't cook things in the microwave unless I have to. The lady wasn't saying she was doing the most sanitary thing ever; she was showing a recipe thing she liked. I just question the sleeve situation.

I'm like 99% certain that steam sales/humble bundles/etc have basically had people backlog purchase games they stole a decade ago, just to have the air of legitimacy. You aren't going to convert the hardcore thieves, but the casual piratebay kid? Yeah, you were never going to get full price...

Hard no on staying employed if discovered. And it has nothing to do with productivity or anything; it's the idea that your dedication is split vs. actually being split. I think it's dumb but I also think it's dumb to have roles where someone can effectively do another job while doing it in the...

Zero. The only thing I would question is wearing long sleeves that aren't a dedicated "This is a garment I get food/shit on" thing. Noodles looked bendy enough, sauce looked cooked enough, she added things she wanted to it. No hate.

Sounds about right.
