Bring in the fem- BOOOOTS

I think you can actually outsource RAM to Google drive or w/e if you want. Problem is you just shift the bottleneck from RAM to network speed

Tbf the comment about the memorial architects having a hard-on for Greek shit was spot on. She said roman but point stands

Ah, little Bobby Tables we call him

Ooo, another Ubisoft game I can not spend my money on. Always enjoy a chance to financially give them as much of a middle finger as I can

“If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be entitled to compensation…”

I’m doing stealth hacker right now, 5th playthrough.

I usually hack nearby objects rather than the people themselves. Other people have already noted bringing trace down with memory wipe or sonic shock, but I usually don’t hack the people at all. Catch is the approach I use needs throwing knives or a silenced pistol. Preferably knife, since it triggers detection a lot less. Distract with a CHOOH2 tank, then overload it when they have it right in front of their face. Distract from line of sight to sneak up on people and take them down. Lure them in front of traps like falling crates using Bait or nearby distractions like lights. When there’s no hack ables nearby or convenient, the knife comes into play.

Bottom line is directly hacking enemies is either a race against time with some tools to reset the race or an endgame strat. Other hacks and I think a perk or two provide ways to do reset trace, and AOE perks and hacks can make the trace progress moot if you kill everyone fast enough, but if you want to go slow and stealthy, you’ll need to be more crafty and indirect with your strats. Use mostly covert hacks as distractions, with some combat hacks in your pocket for if things go south.

Make sure you do a ton of side content like NCPD scanner jobs, gigs, psychos, etc. That will net you the eds and parts to keep your cyberdeck upgraded. You’ll be using ultimate quick hacks in no time.

Side note: the Araasaka deck slows trace progress. Good choice if you want to stay under the radar

They have left-hand hardware that has a thumb analog stick and a bunch of mapable keys. Problem is getting games to use “controller” functions like analog sticks and mouse functions at the same time. I haven’t tried it myself, but apparently most games don’t have a way to recognize and use that as a keyboard function

Not the person you replied to, but I was the same way until I realized all my favorite artists were either dying or retiring and chances to ever see them were slipping away, and quickly. I just go to whatever shows I can and just be present in the moment. Even small local shows. I’ve found a bunch of cool artists by going to shows with artists I don’t even know.

Like, imagine having the opportunity to see a Zeppelin show in their prime, then imagine thinking about going, then saying “meh.” I couldn’t even comprehend the regret I would feel passing something like that up. And it circles back to not knowing you’re in the “good old days” until they’re already past. I just don’t want to look back at missed opportunities and kick myself for the rest of my life.

Like they said, it’s not for everyone, especially not these days. Ticketmaster is a plague, most shows are ridiculously overpriced with food and drink to match, and way too many people are focused on taking a video they’ll never watch. But if things only get worse, I’m going to go down swinging and keep going to shows until doing so would financially break me.

I have a similar line of thinking. I’m a musician, so if I was filthy rich I might want to donate money to a school’s music department. If the school is one fiscal entity, I would have to put that as a stipulation to ensure they gave the money to that department, not divert it to something overfunded or just padding the board’s pocket as bonuses for “a job well done”

Just realizing I’m dreaming wakes me up every damn time. The only times I’ve gotten to have some fun is when I don’t question why the laws of physics suddenly changed and just go with it. The second I start going, “Wait a second, I think I’m drea-” boom, I wake up. It’s infuriating, I just want to fly around or explore the ocean depths or some shit.

That is the translation I’ve seen, so kudos! It’s Marth’s default taunt voice line. I got really used to hearing it back in the day, usually interrupted as my cockiness got punished.

Yoshi and Marth. In summary, I am what they call a “basic bitch.” Minna, miteite kure

Stay here and enjoy the Crab Rangoon. I’ll be right back.

If you loved the first one, you’ll love the second. They really didn’t make any huge changes so you have something to look forward to when you do bite the bullet. Most of the changes are QoL improvements and a new story in a new map with new groups. A good scratch for my AAA itch.

And playing solo. This is actually the first time I’ve played after the multiplater update, so I’ve always played solo. The few gaming people I know would probably rather play CoD or Helldivers, so I don’t expect to try mp for a while. Still fun solo though. Recommend if you like open world survival craft. It’s a bit unpolished due to a tiny dev team (I want to say they are all the way to 6 devs now, started as 2) but fun nonetheless.

Switching between Horizon Forbidden West and The Planet Crafter.

Horizon I’ve meant to play for a while, and finally got stuck into it. Most of the way through, but like all these open world games there’s a ton to do, so I’ve got a bit to go.

Planet Crafter I haven’t played for the last few updates, so I’m enjoying exploring the new biomes and getting a sweet base built in a new file.

Ugh, dammit Hitchcock put your shirt back on

Fuck you those 3-year-old wounds barely healed

This does have real implications in dendrochronology. If you were to take a beam from a structure built hundreds or even thousands of years ago, you can use ring spacing along with climate records of the area it was cut down in to determine when it was cut down, which will tell you the approximate age of the structure (and as a result, the tree). The rings can reflect events such as floods, fires, droughts, and periods of rapid growth, so if you can match those up with climate records and known samples, it works out the way the graphic describes.

This was exactly my experience with Destiny and Overwatch. Played until burnout doing my daily chores and weekly tasks, barely getting in enough time to do everything plus enough other stuff to make me still feel engaged with the game. Spent a good amount on micros because the FOMO was real and carefully implemented. After burning out on Destiny, I realized I hated the game design and business model because the game design was a business model. Now microtransactions are a glaring red flag for me, instead of a yellow one. I even avoid online multiplayer games because almost all of them use these tactics.
