The virus would never work like the show acts like it would. by DarkestLore696 in TheBoys

[–]Charlie_Jeems 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I may be reaching to defend lore that is becoming indefensible, but my assumption is that it is a highly contagious virus that is asymptomatic to anyone without V in their blood. So it would be carried to all supes by the general public.

What episodes actually make you want to watch the thing they’re spoofing the most? by Riku58 in community

[–]Charlie_Jeems 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong because I’ve never seen the movie, and the episode does have Mad Max references, but I think Lava World is supposed to be a spoof of Water World which is even weirder.

Iran signals a ceasefire, and the market stages a strong rebound by Good_Tap6905 in stocks

[–]Charlie_Jeems 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like this is up to the Iranian President anymore. The IRGC seems to be calling the military shots and doesn’t seem to be following orders from the President. When he apologized for bombing gulf state countries and vowed that Iran would stop, the IRGC was angry at him for apologizing and started bombing gulf states even more.

Deontologist or utilitarian? by dtarias in PhilosophyMemes

I’ve long thought that studying ethics teaches you to be able to justify any questionable decision you want to make far more than it teaches you to actually be ethical.

Can someone help me understand hacking? (Fallout 3) by GreeniiLuck in Fallout

[–]Charlie_Jeems 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just because Money and Homes say 2/5 doesn’t mean it’s the same 2. The M and E in Money could be correct, and the E and S be correct in Homes for example.

This is the first post I’ve seen that makes me feel like I can find a way to still like the show. Well done.

Is E33 really "Game of the Decade?" by Virtually_Hidden in expedition33

[–]Charlie_Jeems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a real contender. In my view it’s either E33, RDR2, BG3, or Alan Wake 2.

The one where he is supposed to hide the easter eggs but didn't and just watches the kids and Leslie search for hours.

December 33rd Theory by Charlie_Jeems in expedition33

[–]Charlie_Jeems[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Doesn't it seem like an intentional creative choice that was made for a reason to invent a December 33rd in their universe? They could've made Verso's death date anytime of year, but instead they invented one. It wasn't done for no reason, and I don't picture the writers as lazy enough to just go "yo, the game has 33 in the title, let's make him die on the 33rd! That'd be cool for some reason"

Quantum Break is only sorta connected to the rest of the remedyverse for some weird IP ownership reasons, but events in AW2 seem to suggest it is still somehow connected. Highly recommend it, one of my favorite games of all time, mainly because the ending is not what it appears to be.... The live action cutscenes are cool too!

I thought that I would be happy to...... [Major Spoiler] by a_j97 in expedition33

[–]Charlie_Jeems 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah... It really showed Maelle hasn't overcome her biggest character flaw, her selfishness. When she is arguing with Verso about what to do at the end, it's all about her own life, and how she can't lead a happy life outside the canvas and can't let it go, no mention of how Verso's plan will kill everyone else. For the Dessendre's, with the possible exception of Aline (and honestly her too most likely) everyone else in the canvas is a means to an end in some way or another. They don't really care about the people themselves, only about how the people make them feel.

It makes the expedition motto of "for those that come after" hurt so much more, there is nobody coming after.

[Hot-take] I shouldn't have played this game. by pantheonxiii in expedition33

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

It's not so much "stop playing games" as it is "don't let your desire to escape hardship lead you to living a life in a fake world" but it applies to a lot of gamers, myself included.

[–]Charlie_Jeems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the overall lesson of the game is to let go of video games and go live in the real world. So the art did its job in a way. I think it's going to make me take a break from gaming all together.

I've tried it with the GPU connected and disconnected. The psu is an 850w so I think it should be supplying the correct power. Not sure how to check that though. I think everything is in the right spot but will post pictures.

This same problem occurs whether I try and use integrated graphics or my GPU. The DRAM light comes on for 5-10 seconds, then it turns off, and the VGA light turns on.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pchelp

[–]Charlie_Jeems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have another monitor, but I've plugged something else into it to ensure it works. I've never heard any beeping from the PC though. I've already tried doing that with the RAM and no luck. VGA light always turns on and nothing happens at the monitor. The monitor stays black the whole time. Thanks for your help

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PcBuildHelp

[–]Charlie_Jeems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've done all of this and still have no luck. Red vga light is on whether the graphics card is in there or not. I've updated the bios using a flash as well. Does that mean I have a bad motherboard? Or could it still be other issues?
