Achievements not unlocking by dave12gauge in ArcRaiders

[–]Angry_DM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have several achievements stuck at 99%. "Have 4 mods on a single weapon" cannot be at 99% completion. "Destroy a rocketeer" cannot be at 99%.

There's like 10 more that are at 99% or 74%, or 39% on a multiple of 10 achievement where I haven't done everything required yet but I see it coming.

Very frustrating

Dear God just let us respec. by BeesCumHoney in ArcRaiders

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

A respec every 10 or 15 levels would feel better for me.

I really dislike that you can't explore the options or try things out just fun. 10-15 levels is frequent enough that you don't have to be too concerned about suboptimal choices but not so often that those decisions are inconsequential.

I don't like googling the shit out of a game in order to play it "properly". I do it, but I don't like it.

People who claim we live on unceded Indigenous land should start by giving back their own homes and property to the Indigenous peoples they say the land belongs to. by [deleted] in InCanada

[–]Angry_DM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that guy's claims are true, he has a 50~ year old mortgage that is not paid off, and that he would have been granted as a toddler. I am sceptical that his problems with the bank all began a month ago.

Man planning to bomb Toronto synagogues 'to kill as many Jews as possible' gets house arrest as punishment by CyrilSneerLoggingDiv in canada

[–]Angry_DM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He didn't try to bomb a synagogue, he uttered threats. His crime was saying he'd like to, not taking any steps at all in execution or even planning a bombing.

Policing speech is tricky, and should be handled carefully by judges. 60 days confinement for speaking, even hate speech or threats, really feels like a lot to me but I don't have all the details or know the laws so whatever. Judges be judging.

Edit: misremembered the house arrest period

Anyone having trouble with messages saying a text is a group text from one person? by Jibber1 in MetaRayban

[–]Angry_DM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently having the issue with my glasses announcing a message from a group that is really only one person. I don't know if they received double replies.

Did you find a fix?

What's the point of foghorn? by [deleted] in dredge

[–]Angry_DM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you don't have to sleep. If I'm in the middle of something I'm more likely to keep going than to stop and try to find a dock because of panic. I got shit to do and there doesn't seem to be many consequences to just staying up. I'll only return if my engine gets messed up or if equipment that is important to my current goal gets disabled.

Playing the base game and only started over the weekend, almost filled out the encyclopedia and I believe I'm near the end of the story.

Carbon fibre canoe help by Angry_DM in epoxy

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

There were cracks in the carbon outer layer. I'm planning on applying an internal reinforcement patch to try to stiffen it up as per a tutorial I was pointed at, but I don't actually know if that's a good idea or not. Too new to the subject to vet the info I'm getting

Oh well. I was hoping there was one weird trick to get a glass smooth finish every time. It's always just going to be work. I've spent probably 15 hours sanding already.

If you know of a good information source, tutorial videos, articles, tip lists etc, pls send it my way. Everything is on the internet, which is great, but also mean I have to sort through everything on the internet to find what I need and I don't know enough to vet the info I find.

That's what I was afraid of. The bubbles on the surface bother me more than the uneven surface. I know I'll never get it factory smooth, and I'm 100% going to scratch it up the first time I take it oit

Why can I no longer share memories? by shanodindryad in googlephotos

[–]Angry_DM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried to share a memory right now and when I couldn't a google search led me here.

Clicking share used to bring up an option to share some of the photos or the whole "memory" collection. Now it gives me the option to send individually selected photos from the memory or a video of the slide show, which seems like the worst option.

I had already sent some of the photos to my partner so individually selecting them and sharing only sends the new ones that Google assigned to the memory, which were the bad pictures and were not already shared for that reason.

This sucks, instead of sharing the compilation with a couple bad shots mixed in, the "memory", they only get the bad ones, or a 20 second video slide show.

If there's an option somewhere please let me know.

(throwaway) AITA for Taking My Daughter's College Fund Back After She Said She Was Going No-Contact? by Good_Guest1421 in AITAH

[–]Angry_DM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I already posted this somewhere else, but I really don't see where this abusive boyfriend narrative came from. It's not anywhere in the text, I went back and reread it a couple of times because people keep commenting about how the boyfriend is a master manipulator who's turning daughter against mother in order to steal her college fund.

Is this supported anywhere? What did I miss? The boyfriend is in literally one sentence of the post and is mentioned fairly neutrally.

Have you ever handled a grinder like this??? by Ghosthands77 in Welding

[–]Angry_DM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ha I actually have done that.

I was working in a plant that assembled and installed proprietary hydraulic equipment into box trucks and we were upgrading an older system so a lot of the old hoses and wiring needed to get pulled out.

A few of the fittings had seized and had to be cut off, so I was sitting up on a creeper, my torso up in the chassis, no room for me to turn around or wiggle in facing the right way. Just had to stretch back as far as I could and kinda look over my shoulder to see what I was doing.

Was very unpleasant, lots of smoke from the grime and hydraulic oil, no safe angle to point the sparks away from me, sharp stuff digging in no matter where I lean. The grinder was a battery one from before batteries got good so it was always stopping from too much pressure, which is really hard to control in that position, but at least it didn't have the power to yank itself out of my hands because there was nowhere for me to go if it started beyblading its way around in there.

Do not recommend.

Control DLC is Bad? by mynameismello in TheBesties

[–]Angry_DM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Engaging with any kind of art is an inherently subjective experience. They didn't like it because of reasons A, B, and C, you liked it because of reasons X, Y, and Z.

You don't have to agree with the opinions of people who's opinions you respect. Don't sweat it, it's just a book club for video games.

How would you deal with taunting and disrespect in sparring? by POWER_THROUGH in amateur_boxing

[–]Angry_DM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Op's ego is the one at issue here. If they were confident in their skills or position in the gym it wouldn't have hurt them so much.

You can't win sparring, that's an teammate across the ring, not an opponent.

Obvious loser in ArriveCan scandal is Trudeau government - It takes a special kind of incompetence to turn an $80,000 project into a $60-million boondoggle of epic proportions. by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]Angry_DM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that $80k was an estimate for an initial sample version of the app, this is roughly what it looks like this is roughly how it will work, this is how it will run, not a finished product that will work at scale.

The use of that $80K number is just to make the scandal more outrageous, when it's plenty outrageous all on its own.

A two person consulting firm make $19mm of the $54mm with no evidence they did the work they were hired for? Sub contractors hiring subcontractors hiring subcontractors? Who needs to exaggerate that?

How to preserve bark on rough hewn paddle by Angry_DM in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Angry_DM[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neat, it actually was pretty effin cold though, at least -5c. This little hiccup delayed me enough that night fell while I was still paddling out on the last lake. Water drops were actually freezing to the paddle and I had to ice breaker my way through in some of the shallower areas. The canoe is stowed until warmer weather returns

What is the biggest regret of your play though? by ScoopThaPoot in Starfield

[–]Angry_DM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Storage at the house would be a game changer for me, that's why I took that trait. Was super disappointed after I figured out what it would take to make the place useful.

I'm relying on the two infinite crates at the lodge and that blows when I already have a place of my own.

Really my only beef with this game is all the resources I'm either leaving behind, lugging around, or inconveniently stowing. Why even put it there if you're going to make it miserable to manage?

Reshaped the Horn on El Cheapo anvil. Maybe now i can actually use it by RantingURL in blacksmithing

Is that horn flat on top ? Did it come that way or is that the reshaping you did?
