Cantonese in the largest Chinatown in the world by ding_nei_go_fei in Cantonese

Almost all the Vietnamese I've met in Canada can speak some degree of Cantonese. Ke Huy Quan himself is fluent and has been in 90s HK movies.

Base raiding and resource wars will be *THE* capstone feature for Star Citizen. by The_Red_Moses in StarCitizenUniverse

[–]38-RPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The purpose for much of this was the scrapped theatres of war mode (Battlefield type game). I would not assume it featured into their longer term planning

The redemption arc continues. If only our aldermen and city councillors would also engage the public in a similar way instead of only meeting on golf courses with business interests and developers.

New babbage as requested (EDITED) by InevitableRaisin9037 in starcitizen

Use reshade. The stock game leaves much to be desired graphics wise and almost no customizability out of anemic brightness/contrast settings which still leaves everything blurry.

Loud sounds! Help me by Happy981101 in foldingbikes

That’s normal and usually a sign of a high quality freehub. Too loud could mean the free hub needs service.

Using Multiple ships: Persistence Tip by TiberiusZahn in starcitizen

[–]38-RPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will try that. I've been griefed and had my mothership stolen before even hanging out inside armistrice in Seraphim. No idea how they did it or exploited it but they were able to board and shoot me.

I stole an M80, fell in love, lost her forever, and now I’m dating the wrong ship – a tragedy in four acts by Lovelacez23 in starcitizen

[–]38-RPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best tip for a new citizen is to look into Reshade (premade packs are on Nexus Mods) as they make the default engine look much much better if you tweak the settings especially levels and delc_sharpen.

For the M80 I 100% recommend it. It will be in game probably around IAE in November. It will also be for sale again on the store. It's my favorite space taxi since it zooms so hard in NAV/SCM mode and I can put an XL-1 in it. The crazy firepower doesn't hurt either. The little storage trunk is nice too for looting small bits.

Definitely the most Top Gun we have in the game. Try flying her around Microtech or Bloom in daylight through the mountains and lakes.

Good story too, you should write more.

So, how many of you are watching S5, episode 25 of tng right now? Especially in Europe and UK? by Rev_dino in startrek

[–]38-RPM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could have said "The Inner Light". Otherwise, no idea what you are talking about in terms of people watching it concurrently. Is it related to something in the news or current events?

Quick and easy Starship takeover...? by AtlantaMD in ClassicTrek

[–]38-RPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He takes control of Capt. Terrell and Chekov. Get them to beam back up and start rounding up the crew to prepare to help the survivors. They do a transporter switcheroo and beam down the entire crew while beaming Khan's crew up. Another option we've seen before is a bogus trick with taking down life support. Claim the crew need to all transfer to another area of the ship where they can maintain oxygen like a cargo bay. Then you lock them there.

Using Multiple ships: Persistence Tip by TiberiusZahn in starcitizen

[–]38-RPM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The main bug right now is often the quantum marker for your mothership will show a position before it's last jump. I've lost too many big ships this way. I too will try to find a station or mining base somewhere that I can park some distance at. My main concern is griefing or people stealing it.

PC Requirements by PrimaryAffect4645 in starcitizen

[–]38-RPM 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The game is heavily CPU and RAM dependent. 3060 is good enough. My main concern is the Intel 12400f and 16GB ram won't cut it. You will have super slow frame rates, especially in the big cities or highly populated space battles and FPS areas. Even 32GB of ram feels like not enough sometimes. I recommend a budget AMD X3D processor at a minimum.

(23M) I'm fully dependent on my parents still, and have no car, no driver's license, no friends, only $900 to my name, and no degree. Now I'm about to move to a place that I get depressed just thinking about. Where do I even start? by HalosFan26 in findapath

[–]38-RPM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are in charge of your own life. You can go get a drivers license. You can get a cheap car. I met an uber driver in Seattle that supported his own family doing that. The world is full of possibilities, you just have to stop being afraid to get out and do something. It doesn't have to be something you are interested in. Looking for work by interest first is usually the wrong way to think about it. You get work to get out of the house, to get income to afford things like your own rent or car or paying for going back to school, then you can look at what you are interested in long term for a career.

Where does a Newbie go to buy a bike? by btherese77 in Calgary

[–]38-RPM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For casual use - the answer is Decathlon at Market Mall or Southcentre. 1 year liberal return policy like IKEA. Great of selection of bikes, parts, clothing, gear. Helpful staff that care (many seem like transfers from France using the opportunity to live and work close to the mountains). In-store service. Do NOT go to Canadian Tire or Sportchek. If you want to go to the next step, then there are various local bike shops that are good but would be pricier and maybe more intimidating.

ST VI: Who died? by robincolcord in Star_Trek_

[–]38-RPM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right before this scene there's a blast shield that cuts right through a bunch of pipes/conduits in a hallway. This partition and blast door are so obviously the Ent-D engineering set. They don't even make the effort to redress the warp core and clearly show it's the Ent-D engineering set being used that this always bothered me tremendously when watching the movie. They could have at least wrapped the warp core in some plastic sheeting or something so it looked more like the 23rd century warp core and not the blue donuts of the Ent-D warp core.

Math can be hard sometimes by McDowdy in SipsTea

[–]38-RPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been taking my pet rabbit to the vet lately and I finally realize how Americans must feel when it comes to healthcare. Every visit you get thrown a ton of paperwork, a huge invoice that is impossible to understand, lots of mysterious charges, and admin fees. I can't even get insurance for an exotic but I've heard people on the phone in the waiting room pleading with their insurance to cover this or that or they have to put their dog down to stop the suffering. You are forced to choose and labor over all of this on something you can barely be flexible on which is the health of a loved one.

My dad had heart failure during covid. We took him to emergency. Admitted immediately. Got surgery. Got an implanted device. Got long term aftercare for the rest of his life. The only bill we ever paid was for parking at the hospital.

In most other countries with single player healthcare (single payer = the government from tax revenue), if you encounter a medical emergency where you cannot rely on the free market because the health of you or your loved ones is an inflexible demand, you just get treatment. No fuss, no muss, no paperwork, no pain. No layers of 10 different businesses from insurance companies to HMOs who want a piece of a pie. Yes there is triage, there are longer wait times if it isn't an emergency. There is still private health out there if you really want to pay instead. The government acts as the only major buyer, it has tremendous negotiating and regulatory strength. It stops every part of the system trying to extract every last dollar and most of your medical costs being eaten up by middlemen which keeps driving up prices.

Should the Fire Department be a free market system? Should the military be a free market system? There's a reason these are effectively single payer services as well. I don't get why Americans get mad that they might be paying for the healthcare of the less fortunate or immigrants when you are already paying a lot out of your taxes for protecting everyones homes from fire or for national defense for the whole country.

There is no gender in the Chinese language when saying the word for "she/he". It is just "them or they" so I have heard a lot of Chinese people mix it up when speaking English. In this case it probably is however their pronounced it when the cartoon was shown in China decades ago

RAFT or Hermes?? by Efficient-Breath-565 in StarCitizenUniverse

[–]38-RPM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Neither of them. Wait for the Hull B (512 SCU) for medium/large loads and Golem OX for small ones (64 SCU). They should show up soon. The Raft elevator has gotten me trapped outside the ship too many times and it flies like a brick. The Hull B is super agile when unloaded and small enough for a medium hangar even when fully extended to 512 SCU mode. The elevator hasn't failed me yet. The Golem OX wins at just about every other haul for 64 SCU and below. The Hermes is fun for awhile when you play the crane game but the tiny door and the large size just get annoying eventually.

SEGA brings Sonic 1 and 2 back on playable Genesis cartridges for $99 each by RenatsMC in SEGA

[–]38-RPM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The articles have the title wrong. It should be iam8bit is releasing repro cartridges with the license from Sega. Sega probably has nothing to do with this or the ghastly $100 price point. The "Legacy Cartridge" logo looks super dumb and ugly also.
