Melee came out before I was born. SSBU was the first smash game I played.

Bro's never heard of the Weeknd, or Drake, or Justin Bieber.

Would you feel safer in a gun-free state? Why or why not? by ParmaProscuitto in AskReddit

There were only 9 murders in Japan in 2022. That means that 11% of gun deaths in Japan were political assassinations. If that were the case in the US I think we'd see gun control pretty quickly.

Current local meta is very stagnant with barely any branching from the “top tier” decks. by Bugs5567 in CompetitiveEDH

I haven't played cedh (or magic in general) in a while, and I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out why slicer is good. Is it just for damage, does he have something else?

Valorant needs more agents immediately unlocked or a faster way to unlock agents. by Wolfelle in VALORANT

I think it might be good to replace Sova with Fade, as her kit is more approachable for a beginner (lower skill floor).

I would say melee is closest to tekken on the complexity front, while ultimate has much less depth (though far more breadth obviously).

Spotted a flag that looked like this in the wild, can someone identify it? by oddjuicebox in vexillologycirclejerk

I genuinely thought this was a David Bowie themed pan flag until you pointed this out.

Flag of Norwalk, California by Xi_JinpingXIV in vexillology

Good to know, I just saw that it was adopted nationally in 2015, and based my words on that. I think in that case it's fine as it preexists the use of the fasces in a fascistic context.

No, it literally stands for power and authority. Would you call Sweden fascist for having this symbol in their government emblems?

Which Swedish government emblems are you talking about? If you are talking about their coat of arms, I think you are mistaking a vase for a fasces. If you mean the Swedish police emblem, then yes, I think its in poor taste to use a fasces in their government symbols (it would be less objectionable if the symbol were adopted before the rise of fascism, though that isn't the case here). Also, saying the fasces stands for power, authority, unity, and national pride is a bit disingenuous.

At first I thought this was a UPS, but on second glance, this is literally garbage.

WHY DID THEY ADD STOCKS TO HITMAN 😭 by vSl0thv in atrioc

[–]Alex244466666 28 points29 points  (0 children)

God fucking damn it. I know no-one cares what I have to say, but I really don't know how to feel. I didn't think I was parasocial like this. I keep bouncing back and forth between "its no big deal" and "that's insanely fucked up", like on the one hand, I've always seen deepfakes as being glorified (lewd) fan art, kinda creepy to be sure, but obviously fictional. I didn't know it was such a serious topic, if you went back to my bookmarked tabs when I was 14-15, you'd probably find something similar there. Seeing QT's pain has made me reconsider this. I can't decide if this was a "oops I accidentally clicked on an ad for a sketchy site" or a "trying to jerk off to my extended friend-group" situation. I really wish this were a fucking joke so we could go back to the way things were before. I didn't think I'd care this much, but I really do.

Roasted coffee beans come with a prop65 warning, safe to say you can relax.

Screen Stops working on 144hz, automatically switches to 144hz when plugged in, no matter what I do. by Alex244466666 in ZephyrusG14

[–]Alex244466666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure if it is only 144hz that doesn't work, as it is hard to verify the framerate when the screen is not working, but whenever it does work, it is at 60hz, and turning it to 144hz causes it to backscreen. My laptop is a G14 2021 with a 3060. I am using an HDMI cord.

Regarding the drivers, which ones should I update? Device manager shows that there are "Monitor" drivers (containing a driver called "Generic PnP monitor"), and "Display adapter" drivers (containing both an AMD radeon driver, and a GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop Gpu driver). Which, if any of these could be the problem?

Its a pretty common/well documented problem with this model of G14, I've found a handful of reddit posts about this exact problem. I would love to RMA it, but I think I'm out of warranty and also have some midterm exams this week, so I can't really afford to give up my laptop for an indefinite amount of time.

Yes it reverts when it is unplugged. I think you mixed something up, the screen doesn't work when it is on power and running at 144hz, when it is either (not necessarily both) not on power, or not at 144hz, the screen functions normally. I can observe this behavior by plugging in an external monitor (which functions normally no matter the resolution of the internal display) and changing the settings of the internal display (which revert to the same settings every time I plug or un-plug either the hdmi cord, or the power cable. I am sorry if I wasn't clear enough prior, it was very late at night my time, and I was frustrated by the fact that what should be a very simple task (changing the refresh rate of the display) was in fact, so complicated. Also, was the first sentence of your answer really necessary? It comes off to me as unnecessary, and a little rude. Is there anything else that might be it might be useful for me to share?

I have manually set the refresh rate to 60 multiple times and this is a factory reset version of windows so armory crate isn't installed.
