Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you?

  • I set up [email protected]. I've maxed out my skills, and currently working up the speed classes again, but with double speed turned on.

    Also, get that PS4. Omega (or rather 2048 which is included) is IMO the best WipEout ever made. The way the ships in 2048 handle always feels barely controlled, and it adds so much to the sense of speed. The airbrakes on my favorite the Pirhana Speed, are the most violent in the game (save the prototype) and using them you get thrown around sideways, and you just have to learn to deal with it.

    Redout 2 was a disappointment for me. I love the first game, it struck a balance between speed a technicality. (Basically a merging of WipEout and F-Zero). Redout 2 went too far into speed, with wider more sweeping tracks, rather than twisty and narrow with the occasional full hairpin. New tracks stopped being interesting very quickly with little to learn. It also has a worse soundtrack IMO.

  • I legit got a used ps4 for to play WipEout Omega, Gravity Rush 1/2, Horizon ZD (also later FW), God of War (also later Ragnarok).

    All four are some of my most beloved games. For the hundred bucks I paid for it, amazing deal.

    Still waiting for Omega and Gravity Rush to come to PC...

  • Music does not "require" physical effort or social interaction. The same goes for books, movies and tv. Would you dismiss those, too?

    Video games are an art medium, with exceptions to every one of your points.

    Motion control games require tons of physical effort.

    Multiplayer games literally cannot be played without other people.

    There are games for couples, friends, parties, and quiet alone time.

    It's an entire art medium, one which INCLUDES entire other art mediums like writing, music, acting, and more.

    Your opinion is based on an incredible narrow interpretion of what video games are and can be. Or perhaps you haven't checked in on gaming in around two decades.

    Either way it's resulting in absolutely horrendous advice.

    Only a tiny number of the games I play and have played, are ones I would hold off on until I'm over 30 and married. Some people find their spouses because of gaming.

    A LOT of games I played had their biggest impact around my 20s.

  • I'm finally going to get to work on downloading all my music and abandoning streaming services. Any tips and/or advice?

  • Thefuck?

    Games are a hobby. If they give you pleasure and joy, then there is no "better" thing to be doing.

    How much of your time at 18 should be spent on hobbies is a different matter, but to dismiss games as an unsuitable form of leisure at that age is insane.

    The games people play growing up and as young adults can be formative and massively influential.

    They tell stories, frustrate, entertain, let you form social bonds, and even enlighten you in ways no other form of media can by allowing you interactively explore the thoughts of other people.

    Plus, I'm not even 30, I am already noticing a decline in my performance in terms of precision and reaction time when it comes to the competitive genre.

    Question for anime fans: Was Light Yagami actually a good liar?

    跳过

  • Extremely.

    But he was also narcissistic enough to basically drop hints the whole time, even as he actively hides. While he knows he needs to stay hidden, he yearns for everyone to know that he is Kira, and to worship him for what he is doing.

    He wants to openly taunt his detractors while never giving them actual evidence, but that's stupid as fuck.

    He nailed the lie to start, but fucked himself because of his arrogance and ego.

  • Podcast clients?

  • Probably massive overkill for OP particular, but if you wanna listen across several devices, the best option.

  • I landed in another toxic workplace after quitting a previous one. What would you do in this scenario? (Open to all suggestions)

    跳过

  • and if I got into this situation two-times in a row what's guaranteeing that it won't happen again

    Absolutely nothing.

    The way I like to put it, is that most people are nice, but there are assholes everywhere.

    It's not that everyone is a douche, just that there is nowhere you can go, where there won't already be some, or where they won't suddenly show up later.

    As such, it's good to try and learn to deal with them, avoid them, or outlast them.

    At my last job, my two first bosses were great, then the third was a nightmare. But he got fired two years in and then the fourth was good again. That job lasted me seven years. 5 out of 7 is not bad.

    Overlay that with all your colleagues, and yeah, you're almost bound to have at least some of them be bad... It's a numbers game. If most of your colleagues are reasonable, then you're probably in one of the better places to be.

  • Must my Jellyfin server be able to transcode AV1 videos?

    跳过

  • Yes.

    If you always direct-play, the only bitrate you can use is original.

    If you ever need to watch on a slow connections using a lower bitrate, that will require transcoding.

  • [SOLVED] Heroic games have stopped launching, any ideas?

    跳过

  • You should be able to try to launch the games in a readable terminal from heroic, from game properties or something.

    That should allow you to see any errors.

  • Swapping GPU

    跳过

  • Not really.

    If it's the same brand (AMD>AMD or Nvidia>Nvidia) the same drivers you were already using should pick up the new GPU.

    If you're switching, you can uninstall the nvidia driver if switching to amd, and you'll have to install it, if switching to nvidia.

    On some distros you may have to install vulkan-radeon to get vulkan support on amd.

    AV1 is what we need. And a lot of newer hardware finally supports it.

  • How do you introduce the Fediverse to other people?

    跳过

  • I share posts they'll like.

    Or tell them about communities I've found I think they'll like.

    If they ask how to participate I pick an instance for them and just link them direct to the signup page, then show them how to sign in in an app.

    That way there is basically no jargon. No complexity. If they sign up, they do so out of genuine interest for the content. If they ask what federation is, I explain. But the neat thing is, you don't really need to know about it to have a good experience on the fediverse.

    Plus when people see the @ with a url, they kinda just naturally get that it's like email. They notice that it's part of a users "address" and that it differentiates users, but they don't really think about it past that.

    Us being here for ideological reasons is extremely unusual. Most people don't make decisions that way.

    Besides. If you find good content FIRST and sign up to engage with it second, it is so much easier to become and remain a regular user.

  • Golden Rule is flawed

    跳过

  • Except OPs rule would essentially be identical.

    When you see someone "treating others as they want to be treated" than that is what you'd do to them. Hence following that rule when it is deserved.

    But unlike with "treat others as they want to be treated", OPs version would mean you respond to malice in kind.

  • Valve apologizes for ruining a Steam game's launch

    跳过

  • I think they should make it a daily deal, but not for a week. They should also eat the discount cost, which they apparently aren't doing, and entirely waive their cut.

    What I think they should do instead of extending the deal, is reset the games launch.

    There is absolutdly no reason Valve couldn't re-launch the game, along with all the algoritm benefits an unbugged 1.0 launch should have had.

    Also, you seem to have missed that the article says they are contractually obligated to complete their current WIP game. Valve giving them a bunch of money would not give them time to work on further updates for Planet Centauri before then.
