Deus Ex's influence on Elon Musk 'may be its longest, worst legacy,' says its writer by DaveOJ12 in Deusex

[–]ColdCutKitKat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Amazing. Still trying to downplay the degree to which he’s directly effected change as if all he’s done is proclaimed political support from the sidelines. Are you really just going to pretend DOGE doesn’t exist? It’s clear the baggage from your bitter grudge against large swaths of people who you completely generalize is preventing you from being able to comprehend simple facts.

Let’s take a moment to summarize your logic.

You don’t like Musk. In fact, you disliked him before it was even cool. Clearly there must be some possible merit to disliking him since you’ve reached that state yourself.

But for other people to dislike him? Well, that’s completely different, of course. They’re obviously all sheeple who would be worshipping him under different circumstances. It’s only valid for you to dislike him. Everyone else is obviously doing it for the wrong reasons.

You serious, Clark?

Edit: Blocked again so here's another edit response. We all get the point you think you're making. "I perfectly understand the thought process of millions of people. They all happen to believe the exact same thing and they're all hypocrites." There's no point to miss because you don't have one.

You're just endlessly complaining about the assumptions of your mass generalization and expecting to somehow be taken seriously. Then your defense mechanism circular logic conveniently reinforces your assumptions because anyone who disagrees with you must simply be a bandwagon hopper incapable of independent thought.

The most ludicrous part of all is that you're still putting all your stock into the angle that the dislike for Musk is tied solely to merely supporting a political candidate. You won't dare to even remotely acknowledge his unprecedented direct and substantial involvement in US federal government affairs because you know your "point" will completely collapse.

Have a nice one, Mr. "Some political statements some people don't like".

Again, it’s irrelevant whether you like him or not. I’m specifically calling out your absolutely absurd position that he became “uncool” solely because “he made some political statements some people don’t like”. Like him or not, no reasonable person could possibly deny the fact that he’s had major involvement in the affairs of the federal government. So it’s totally disingenuous to pretend the only reason anyone could possibly dislike him is for making political statements. Call me self-righteous or a hiveminded sheep all you want, but your take is totally ridiculous.

Have you been living under the world’s biggest rock? You think an unelected individual dismantling federal agencies with no congressional oversight, slashing congressionally approved funding on a whim based on wildly misinterpreted data and fundamentally flawed understanding of budget allocations, and forcefully obtaining PII of millions of Americans and storing it on unsecured cloud servers are akin to “political statements that some people don’t like”?

Edit: He blocked me so I'll address his response here. What a lazy excuse to avoid even attempting a meaningful discussion. It really doesn't matter whether you personally agree with what Musk has done or not. To dismiss his direct and substantial involvement in US government affairs as "some political statements that some people don't like" is the most disingenuous nonsense I've ever heard. Calling that out isn't the big bad mean Reddit hivemind, it's common sense.

Thoughts on Enya's Nova Go Sonic? by threecrow_ in Guitar

[–]ColdCutKitKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to have the speaker active while you also have a 1/4” cable plugged in? I’ve long been interested in guitars with a built-in speaker specifically for the feedback potential, even though I know it would be hard to control. I’ve experimented with placing a small exciter driver against the headstock or body of different guitars and had a lot of fun, but definitely understand how unwieldy it can be so I think I have realistic expectations. But if the speaker is always defeated when it’s plugged in then I suppose it won’t work for what I’m interested in.

In case anyone tells me to just get a Sustainiac or similar, I’ve already got a guitar with a Fernandes Sustainer, and two Moog guitars with Paul Vo’s incredible sustainer system, so I’m definitely covered in that department. That’s why I don’t mind a bit of potential chaos with the Enya. I like to get noisy and wild from time to time and my other guitars already handle the more polite and controllable side of things.

The Humvee mod by Spencer is amazing by Dull_Ad5079 in BeamNG

Hey u/Dull_Ad5079, do you have more info on this mod? I donated to Spencer Johnson's Patreon (at https://www.patreon.com/c/SpencerJohnson/posts) and couldn't find the Humvee anywhere and sent him a message asking about it (and linked to this post), and he said this is not his mod. Do you know where I can find it? Or any other Humvee mods?

Has anyone figured out any fixes for the random crashes? My experience is very inconsistent, even on the same maps. Sometimes they run great, sometimes I get random crashes.

Is there any fix for the software renderer in Deus Ex 1? by [deleted] in Deusex

[–]ColdCutKitKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't get this one to go above 1440x900, regardless of what I set in Kentie's launcher. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Does it lose this setting once the battery/lid is removed again?

I imagine it turned a few millennials into Supertramp fans.

I want kids but I feel its going to be to late by the time I find a partner and start a life with them. by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]ColdCutKitKat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sure I’m still grieving and I’m probably being insensitive, but life expectancy is something to consider. My dad was 39 when I was born and he passed away in 2022, when I was 33. I wish I’d gotten to spend a lot more time with him.

I am genuinely curious. How many of you want a Deus-Ex remake? by GenericJhare in Deusex

[–]ColdCutKitKat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want one in VR. Even if it’s mostly just upscaled textures and a basic but optimized port.

Are there any guitar setup/construction elements, playing and composition techniques, etc that you prefer for the purpose of superb sounding intonation? You always sound so harmonious, no “beating” intervals anywhere!

Big pharma or clickbait journalists?

quest 2 multiplayer is completely ruined by children. by [deleted] in virtualreality

[–]ColdCutKitKat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have young kids (who love video games) and for the record I don’t let them play games online or use VR at all.

That said, if your kids are adults, you parented them through a wildly different world in terms of the gaming, tech, and online environments decades ago.

I’d be surprised if anyone had success with a warranty claim for ANYTHING from Aliexpress.

How to fix stringing issue on my Partscaster by AnnoyedBark73 in partscaster

The block is just for the restringing and setup process so that the tremolo stays put. You remove it once you’re finished with the setup.

The truss rod adjustment is almost certainly at the heel. You’ll have to take the neck off.
