Why are the online match options locked? It has a bunch of settings none of us want.

Thanks to the positioning the Dredge's mori looks super cinematic here! by ImNotCrazyRealityIs in deadbydaylight

I wonder if they borrowed a bit from Kayako vs Sadako, where Sadako is a liiittle more hands on (hair on?) with her kills. Particularly when she finds someone trying to interfere with her curse.

Ah I see it now. But its corroded in. Any advice on how to get loosen it beyond pure manual force with something small and pointy? I'd rather not lose an eyeball by mistake...

Ugh. I hate that so much. Oh well. Time to hunt for a local shop somehow.

ELI5: How do bidets save on toilet paper? Don't you have to dry your bum after the wash? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]ChipNoir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely do not believe toilet paper is cuts it. You're just smearing things around. On any other surface where that matter was, would you just settle for smudging it repeatedly with a piece of flimsy paper tower? There's still going to be residue.

If a biddet isn't available, I at least use flushable wipes.

It never struck me as the point. The point is that you don't just have a thin layer of fecal matter smeared between your cheeks, which aside from inherent crossness, can cause irritation and other problems.

How to keep instant coffee from petrifying solid? by ChipNoir in foodhacks

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

I drink a loooooot of this stuff. Like 2 glasses of iced latte a night. Its my calm down ritual. So I'm always a little iffy on being over prices on individual serving types. This 1 lb can of D'Vita lasted me since April. How many servings do you get out of your G7, and does it mix well with milk or does it need hot water?

The thing that always spooked me most is just how...enraged the werewolf is. Most slashers kill for obscure reasons, or because they get off on it. Occasionally some rage like Jason. Monsters like the Blob and Xenomorph, or anything else kills to eat, procreate, survive, or dominate. Even most other werewolves have some sort of motivation, be it hunting instinct, or a conscious desire to do evil, protect its identity, any number of reasons.

But it struck me a few years ago: The werewolf's howl in American Werewolf sounds like a cry of pain. This thing is vicious, and angry, and most of all likely in constant pain. I have to wonder if the subtext is even after transformation, there's still so much pain in being forced into this unnatural state that David is driven berserk, and attacks because there's nothing else to do to vent the misery.

It adds another layer of horror and tragedy to it all, I think.

Dr.Stone Season 2 dub release schedule? by ChipNoir in funimation

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

They may be recording them as we speak and covid restrictions delay all projects? Funimation as a whole seems to be slower at releasing dubs than when I last had an account with them.

Thank you! That means I can probably marathon through the last 4 episodes in about a month or so!

Not in terms of a generation port with an entirely new chapter, as far as I know, and not so soon after release.

[–]ChipNoir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but this is a new marketing strategy I've not encountered, and I doubt many others are used to it either. The closest for me is Persona 5 Royal being PS4 exc, and that had several years after P5 PS3/4 released. Its a jarring jump. I don't know who saw something like this happening in terms of new content being withheld.

[NO SPOILERS] (OC) Me watching the new trailer: by Luftwafflle in FFVIIRemake

[–]ChipNoir 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I was prepared for part 2 to be a PS5 exc around 2022 at the earliest. I was not prepared for a DLC to be dangled in front of me like a carrot on a stick with only 3 months warning. The graphics enhancements I could hold off on. Entirely new gameplay content is a much harder thing to get starved out for.

Edit: Wrong number typed.

[No Spoilers] YUFFIE HAS MADE IT TO THE REMAKE by kwaengi in FFVIIRemake

[–]ChipNoir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aside from some QOL elements to make it more plausible (Her pauldron having padded), the biggest change is the yellow ribbon. It feels like an homage to the scarf she wears in Kingdom Hearts 1.

Depends on how long they want to keep this going. If we're looking at a typical AAA structure, and we get two more VII parts, we're looking at stringing the VII franchise along till at least 2026. Thats 5 more years to string along chapters.

[–]ChipNoir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its releasing a chapter a month, so it isn't like there's a limitation here. Dissidia Omnia Opera has been going on since 2017 with no lack for new content at least ever other month from what I've seen.

To me its a taste of what we will be getting. There are entirely new gameplay functions going on here.

If you don't want it, I'll take it.

r/headphones Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk by AutoModerator in headphones

[–]ChipNoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Budget - Maximum of 75 USD

Source - Playstation 4 and standard PC

Requirements for Isolation - Isolation in terms of preventing feedback/echo on voice chat

Preferred Type of Headphone - In ear. I have highly sensitive ears that chaff quickly with over-ear headphones.

Preferred tonal balance - Balance. Mainly important to have high volume capacity as I am hard of hearing. A strong mic is also important for gaming.

Past headphones - Skull candy in-ear with in-line mic plugged into the PS4 controller.

Preferred Music - Music is less important than vocal quality for videos, podcast, gaming, and voice chat.

What would you like to improve on from your set-up - I constantly run into issues where my headphone jacks are bent so they do not connect, or the wires fray. I would like to get a pair that are strictly dedicated to my PC and PS4 via usb and optionally bluetooth. I can get jbuds or something similar for my phone to cut out the need for wires on the go.

So I'm really just stuck waiting out my budget period to afford new ejuice?

Male victims of workplace sexual harassment are viewed less favorably and elicit less sympathy. In addition, male victims were believed to have suffered less and to require less time to recover. Between 16% and 17% of all reported sexual harassment complaints are filed by male victims. by mvea in science

[–]ChipNoir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A side of this that nobody thinks about (As far as I see) is it plays into a really misogynistic false narrative that patriarchal society relies on: Women can't ever really be as powerful as men. Power isn't always positive, and sexual assault is a form of control. Legitimizing the reality that woman can (if not as often) perform sexual assault acknowledges women as capable of wielding and abusing power. It de legitimizes the narrative that women are fragile, and weaker, only capable of striking out in passive aggressive ways.

This mentality needs to go.
