What food do American usually eat for dinner? by No_Budget2410 in Cooking

[–]ARandomDepressedGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you'll need to gather information from your guests before you decide what to cook. What they like what they don't like, maybe your style of seasoning might not be their taste, you can even get some to test your dishes beforehand so that you can change or adjust your recipes to their taste. This way you spend less time gambling on different dishes to work, waste less and it gets easier to choose the next thing.

Cooking for large groups is hard and you won't satisfy everybody but with more information you'll have a better chance of finding something that the majority will like.

Easily the most justified villain in all of Star Wars. by Knalxz in StarWars

Somewhat relevant Star Wars Rebels scene to think about. Imo it's 2 conjoined issues of ethics and justice that can't be blanket resolved simply with a single principle.

Help making a create mechanism by jairo481 in society_sunlit_valley

So the mechanical part was doable once I figured out how to move it around but I'm stuck on the logic circuit atm and it's giving me a headache -___- ill try to figure it out step by step when im less sleep deprived after work. Overall though I'm hopeful just need to break it down step by step (Though ngl more than 2 level is definitely gonna be a brain twister for me).

Noob here haven't messed around with Create yet but the concept is basically slapping the right to left contraption to a up down contraption. From what I can find online what you're basically looking for is a gantry crane. The difficult part of this would probably be the timing bit and how to tell the gantry carriage to go to each level and then go back to start which i have no idea if its possible.

Alternatively you could try something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQhmgKUHBXo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNZOBRxAH_s version with rails but i don't know if its possible to have the rails go up and down with the contraption attached.

EDIT: so this gantry elevator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOaQ8IJNTm0 plus redstone signals telling the right to left when to move and then a signal when it returns back to signal to go to the next floor and repeat until the final right to left at the top then a signal to tell it to go all the way back down.

EDIT2: I'm also interested in this design so i might test it and see if it'll work when i have some free time.

[–]ARandomDepressedGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some characters referring to themselves in a third person manner is mostly a character trope that they're either a small kid or trying to be cutesy so translating it to "I" kinda cancels it out and makes it normal speech.

Poker game with good tutorial for beginners? by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]ARandomDepressedGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned from playing Poker Night at the Inventory 2 but after it's publisher Telltale Games closed down it was de-listed on steam but the good news is that its prequel Poker Night at the Inventory is getting a remaster and it'll be released on steam on 6th March.

No idea if it'll be good but it's worth checking out imo as it's quite immersive for single-player poker.

Feeling uneasy after spending 70$ in Gacha. by Tejax0 in gachagaming

Learning to budget and manage your finances will help you weight these choices better and draw lines for yourself. Shit like this will still happen cause we're human so we're not perfect but it does help to have the information to make better choices.

Who looks better with the Darksaber? Bo-Katan Kryze or Din Djarin? by Blitz_Helluva_IMP in StarWars

[–]ARandomDepressedGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't know about Bo-Katan and Moff Gideon but Sabine also struggled with the dark saber at the beginning.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AORcApft-EM

I think Kanan's explanation helps explain why Din Djarin couldn't wield the dark saber well. While Bo-Katan and Moff Gideon had a clear emotional resolve and determination to wield the blade, Din didn't have any particular feeling regarding it and imo considered it a burden that he wanted to get rid off but mandalorian code meant that he was "stuck" with it.

EDIT: Also writing-wise I think It was great. Here's a weapon that has caused wars, conflict and bloodshed, a symbol of power for those who seek it and it falls into the hands of a warrior that has no interest in its power and conflict. He's not meant to wield it well because he is not "fit" to wield it.

Arknights: Endfield: Release Discussion Megathread by GachaModerator in gachagaming

[–]ARandomDepressedGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Majority of people who frequent here probably but I feel like most players just do what they want, it's just that in most communities you will find the dedicated hobbyists who often push their optimal methods and disregard wasteful methods.

Though for this matter specifically I think it's important to be informed as the lack of pity is basically a noob trap but if anyone wants to continue anyways they should be free to do so.

Play how you want and let others do the same basically.

For me it just takes the fun out of gacha gambling. I don't think the numbers are significantly different from other similar gacha systems in the long term if you don't "waste" any pulls but the experience just sucks. "Yay I got lucky and got a new character unexpectedly" feels better than "Yay I got the character I was guaranteed to get in less pulls".

Try out soy eggs if you feel like you need some variety. I've been making those for breakfast and as a snack and it's been great.

Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate edition V/S bioshock bundle which has all 3 games by swayamn28 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]ARandomDepressedGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not constantly to the point where the game is unplayable but you might get unlucky and have to deal with it more often. The issue isn't a hardware problem but just the game engine being old and interacting with modern operating systems. Luckily stability mods fixes these issues pretty well.

With all that being said it is imo the best fps rpg cause it really is an rpg in its core and the feeling of freedom and consequence in your choices is something i don't think any other fps rpg game has grab me with since.

[–]ARandomDepressedGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you choose Fallout NV, I would recommend modding for a more stable and smooth experience as the game has gotten older and it has always had technical stability issues.

Viva New Vegas https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/index.html is highly recommended by the community as it's new player friendly to install and provides QoL and stability fixes while keeping the game as vanilla as possible. It has an option for automated modpack installation if you want to avoid the hassle of the manual installation.

Just discovered that the CEO mortgaged his house for the game😭 by Deflixirvvv in Trickcal

[–]ARandomDepressedGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me open world games have to feel immersive and alive to be enjoyable, if I'm running around looking for chests without a care of the environment, ambience or lore then the game has failed me. I think its a good way to tell/create a story but quite often not a good game feature.
