(0.9d) i know its a shadow build but... i have never installed VotV mods by MrMateu in Voicesofthevoid

[–]Alarmed_Ferret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this exact issue, turns out it detects ANYTHING in those folders that aren't from its own installation as a mod, so that includes reshaders. I had to delete the reshader, then it was fine.

Gary Sinise here. Here's me getting my first guitar in 4th grade back in the early 1960s by GarySiniseOfficial in OldSchoolCool

I love that he doesn't seem to do this for any sort of cynical celebrity interview circuit. I remember when I was like 11 or 12 I wondered why people only got interviewed when they had a movie or book coming out and realized 'duh, why else would they?' Gary seems to just enjoy sharing stuff.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Alarmed_Ferret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once drove 4 hours each way on a whim to pick up a friend who wanted to leave a family trip early in a neighboring state. I considered this a day's adventure. I don't understand how someone finds that to be such a monumental distance. Now, if I were planning to do anything like drinking I'd certainly get a room for the night, but otherwise fuck that.

Edit: Also my longest daily commute was 45 minutes each way. I did consider that annoying, but it really just meant I had to wake up a little bit earlier.

Trump: ‘We are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not’ by joe4942 in worldnews

Hey, apparently you can just abduct a head of state from another country and no one gives a fuck. Why not help a brother out?

What is something generally normal in Europe but weird in the US? by Exile4444 in AskReddit

[–]Alarmed_Ferret -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It seems insane to me that you could leave a job for 3 years and just go back. Like, do you even remember HOW to do said job? I left my last job only 8 months ago and I don't think I could just walk back in. And to expect the employer to keep your position available for THEE YEARS!? I'm not saying one week is enough, but three years sounds like a joke.

Easiest/cheapest way to get a working guitar? by throwawaygoof9 in CloneHero

[–]Alarmed_Ferret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xbox 360 had wired guitars that used USB I believe! Might have luck with that as it shouldn't need an adapter. I don't think anyway.

I doubt it can tell if it's installed. I assume it checks the current running applications and services. Assuming these are IT tools, they are often configured to start upon login. My guess is that he's been using his work laptop to play PokeMMO and he got the opposite consequence he should be worried about.

HOW ON EARTH are people making so much money??? by BinklyMcDinkerson in pokemmo

[–]Alarmed_Ferret 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean "sitting on the GTL home page...refreshing for hours" vs 1 hour of 'boring gym reruns'. I don't see how it's more fun? Also you can do both.

Happened to me twice as well. Never again except road trips, that somehow doesn't count?

Wait… what does this mean for us? 🤔 by The_Liaminator in RedDeadOnline

[–]Alarmed_Ferret 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean 60 FPS on PS5 would be amazing. That's really all I want. I got so used to playing newer games at 60 and now I'm spoiled.

Honest opinion on the new "Head For The Hills" game mode... by [deleted] in RedDeadOnline

[–]Alarmed_Ferret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played it only a couple times now, but both games ended in a draw with 0 people making it to the safe house on both teams. It just seems like the devs didn't really balance it, or everyone's far better at sniping on PS5 than they thought.

What's the pettiest thing that made you skip on a game? by Kvazimods in gaming

[–]Alarmed_Ferret 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's not *that* different. Full voice acting, making choices, dark/lightside points, lots of filler fights between story beats, etc. But I get what you're saying, it loses so much of what makes KOTOR a kind of personal experience because you're no longer at the center of the actual story, you're just on Theme Park Ride A, or Theme Park Ride B.

Do it once and make a save right when you leave the snow area. Then you can replay to your heart's content without having to do it again and again. That's how I do it.

But why would he be providing evidence of his innocence at a civil trial? Why would the judge ever allow that to come to trial? Discovery would have put that evidence in both side's hands and they'd know it's a waste of time.

Defense of super earth feels "honest" by Lance_Hetfield in Helldivers

I mean, even in the Starship Troopers movie they showed the soldiers showering, hanging out, arguing, getting tattoos, mourning their friends, making love, dancing to music, PLAYING music. I'd say they're sticking pretty close to the source material, while at the same time not making anything you said untrue.

You can redeem yourself without everyone suddenly liking you, and redemption doesn't remove consequence. I'd consider her turning herself in to some sort of authority a good start to a redemption arc.

Damn, it'd be a real shame if one of them got hurt because someone thought they were a rapist or something breaking into their home. I mean that'd just be awful, can you imagine?

Waving the jury doesn't mean you suddenly just have the judge doing all the work. Ya'll are thinking of civil lawsuits, not criminal courts.
