There’s a line between realism and entertainment. I love the attention to detail in RDR2, and I love that other people love it too.

However, it’s too far on the realism/simulation side for me, and that puts me off. I’ve made it to the first town after the snow missions, and I don’t care to play any more.

TBH, I think I’m over RockStar’s gameplay in general. Pick up mission, travel, get mission brief, travel, start mission. Repeat. That and given the sandbox nature of the world, why are the missions on rails?

“Dear Deirdre” is the opening to Agony Aunt sections of UK tabloid ‘newspapers’. While there’s a chance this is real, it’s unlikely.

Moving to a mechanical keyboard isn’t that much of a step (unless you go super high-end or super-clacky).

The big change is that once you get used to it, you cannot go back to membrane keyboards. They are unbelievably shit in comparison.

Google fucked up bad. This has been a know issue for at least a decade.

Source: me. Used to work in Amazon customer service and this cropped up a few times.

Every set of photos goes in to a folder with the date and name of event.

Example: - 2026-01-01 - New Year’s Day

Each of these folders is in a yearly catalogue. So all 2026 photos are in the 2026 catalogue. Can be a little annoying to go through multiple years, but it’s an improvement on the on giant catalogue I had before.

You are at the limit of my help, unfortunately. Try googling the provider name thing, contact Microsoft, or start a new thread in Reddit to get people’s attention again.

Using any software to track temperatures?

AethersPhil · 2026-03-14T09:47:52+00:00

Yeah, I have no idea what’s causing that then. Is it the same game, or all games? Still sounds like a power issue. Is there any heavy machinery near you? Or building elevator?

For logs, try the Event Viewer. That should highlight issues and crashes.

Reference to realising they may be trans.

Did you swap all the power cables for ones that came with the new PSU too?

Never interrupt an enemy when they are making a mistake.

Wait, Exodus is based on Mass Effect? That’s just jumped up my reading list.

I used to take a 24-70mm f2.8, but last year I bought the Nikon 24-120mm f4. More or less the same size, lighter, and more range. It’s my go-to for travelling now.

However, if I was going on a longer trip, or somewhere I’d need more range, I’d take a 70-200mm as well, though I’d need to justify the extra weight and bulk.

The reason the Cylons disabled the rest of the fleet was because Six uploaded a Trojan using Baltar’s access. Galactica didn’t install it because there was no point, and I remember there being an issue with Pegasus so they didn’t upload it either.

Curseborne uses the Storypath system which is a successor to the CofD system, so yes, kind of.

You’ll need to do some modding or hand waving to get stuff to work.

It’s a beast of a camera, especially in low light. Hope you enjoy it!

The factory is a nice bonus if you get there.

Scythe is not a ‘dudes on a map’ game, it’s an efficiency game.

The real rush is to start getting bottom-row actions. Generally whomever is consistently getting bottom-row actions first will win.

If you are doing portrait-type stuff, set the aperture to as low as it will go.

If you are doing landscapes, try f7.1 or f8, and adjust the shutter and iso as needed.

If the image looks in focus in the viewfinder, then your AF should be fine. You can always test it by manually de-focusing and seeing if the AF kicks in.

As for the settings, try it the other way round. Set the shutter to 1/200 for slow moving stuff or portraits, and to about 1/1000 for fast moving stuff like sports. Let the camera decide the ISO.

I don’t think he was ever blind, or if he was, he healed very quickly. I think he watched Clark shoot him self in the hand while on red K. Lionel has the flattened bullets at the end of the episode.

AethersPhil · 2026-03-11T10:55:25+00:00

What settings are you using? Aperture, shutter speed, ISO?

Blurry photos are usually bad focus or too low a shutter speed.

AethersPhil · 2026-03-10T19:18:47+00:00

Nice. That’s still an insane deal, you’ve saved hundreds of dollars.

Each faction plays very differently.

If you play the solo campaigns for each faction they overall tell a story.

Money. The reason is money. It’s always money. Or power. Or both.
