If there was anyone else aboard NCL's Pride of America before it left dry dock in Bremerhaven around 2004/2005 that is also on Lemmy, they'd be able to back me up. But there is a good chance everyone else who suffered with me is locked in the loony bin from having heard Radio Ga-Ga for a week.

This is a laughable suit. Why do you feel entitled to any kind of compensation over what Valve takes before paying developers as a consumer? If games on Steam were 30% more than games anywhere else, there might be merit to it; but that isn't the case and it's what this CLA is arguing.

As far as I've seen, that's how blocking works on literally everything. You are blocking them from your view. You are not blocking their view of you. It wouldn't matter if it worked the other way, since they could just log out and still see everything.

If you want total banishment, run a chat room or a non-public forum that can't even be entered or read without permission.

I'm gonna guess that whatever plant they are talking about isn't supposed to be in Sri Lanka. But it is.

Shit, I've seen them looking things up on Google and WebMD now.

What's a nato?

A popular breakfast item in Japan made of fermented soy bean. ^/s^

He said he doesn't speak English. He is perfectly capable of reading and writing in it, tho.

Having a job sucks.

Not having a job wouldn't suck if it wasn't for the fact it usually means you also have no money.

Having no money sucks.

It would be cool beans to not have a job, but have money.

I mean, the soda is probably caustic enough to be a great exfoliator. But I wouldn't want to smell like Mountain Dew of any flavor.

The Doritos one sounds stupid unless it actually has stale Doritos in it acting like micro beads.

We had a park that was all wood out here. When I was a kid, it was my favorite park playground. They removed it some years ago because kids could get splinters. You know what we did if we got splinters when we were there as kids? We'd pull 'em out and keep on playing!

Been playing Disco Elysium again and seeing this makes me wonder if a wasp, given ceramic armor and an automatic weapon, would destroy a bee hive all by itself or if the bees would fuck up that wasp.

Am I lacking dopamine because of depression or because I've done everything I like so much, I can't get back to the dopamine levels my brain has grown accustomed to...? 🤔

I've seen every movie I want. Played every game. Read every book. Done so much shit off my bucket list. I'm just straight up bored with reality now.

 

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'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?

 

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.

 

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.

 

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?

 

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.

 

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?

 

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.

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.
