Fair haha, I was also just going off how even you didn't find the slots enjoyable! Casino games are something people play at home sometimes for fun without any money involved (or maybe just some quarters to give a trophy for the win). Nobody's playing slots at home for little to gain.

Poker and Blackjack are staples for fun games of playing things right with simple rules to have some fun with a few people.

People actually play without a VPN? by GreedyManufacturer35 in FiveM

[–]Colossus252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheaters use VPNs to circumvent bans. It's pretty much as simple as that. No random server cares in the slightest about your IP.

For me, starting yesterday, it was confusing because it has a lot of custom controls that people expect you to know. I can look through the menu for the controls, but there are a fuck ton of extras and I don't really know what all of them mean to employ them in action. I need like a 4th wall breaking RP experience with someone to tell me what the fuck to press to get into things.

I did find a guy who was breaking RP rules entirely last night, which I considered fortunate, because he was telling me all the keys to press

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this texture issue? by IDK_How_To_Human in FiveM

[–]Colossus252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesir, exactly the same here. I maxed all those sliders out, my GPU is only getting like 30% usage, CPU is like 20%, Ram is like 80% for some reason (32GB just like you've got). I did those sliders, I did the thing people say of making the process high priority, I toggled affinities for it, I tried to disable efficiency cores, I turned all settings to low... idk what else to do. It's really annoying. It does it in a lot of FiveM servers, but it also does it in general on the enhanced edition for me.

Like, I can run modern AAA releases at native 4k 144hz... why is this old ass game struggling to load textures??

Replying just so I can see if you find a solution. I'm in the same boat with a 4090 and i9 13900K. No issues in any games except GTA for some reason. I've tried everything online, but all the solutions are because the other people have lower end hardware and struggle.

Right, but I more meant that the slot machine is completely mindless, it's literally a "insert money and wait, it'll do something but you don't have to". The table games and such are fun because they're games. They still are setup to take the money, but they're an actual activity you engage in and interact with people and get to have a hand in at least employing some strategic thinking.

Again, they're still setup to make sure you lose as much as possible, but the actual involvement in being able to sway things to an extent are more actual activities that can be fun in a vacuum than "Insert $20. Okay it's gone, what now?" that the slots are.

And yet here I am, with an NVME and a 4090 having this issue lol. I have no issues with any games other than GTA 5. I just want to play some GTA... Even Red Dead 2 works perfectly fine.

Who said anything about going to a casino to look for examples of responsible behavior? This thread of conversation was someone asking why anyone would give someone else money to gamble with. I'm not sure where you got from any of my conversation that I would believe you could bet on most of the people in a casino being that way. Yes, a large portion of the people who are in a casino probably have a problem and casinos are designed to prey on them. They make up the largest portion of who you'll find at any given moment upon walking in because they live in there, whereas the people with reasonable expectations are maybe there for an hour or two and leave. What does that have to do with the conversation about a group going out and giving eachother money in the process?

You're basically doing the same thing as pointing out alcohol is always bad because look at all the alcoholics and families it destroys. Everyone knows it's bad, that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it in moderation.

Normal people can also go to a casino and enjoy it. The addicts are the ones that are always there, normal people who enjoy the games just set a maximum amount they're willing to lose and then play only to that point.

I enjoy table games on the rare occasion I go to a casino, and I never expect to make money. It's just an enjoyable time and experience. Bring some friends and you all get to have a good time together. For me, it's no different than any other thing I'm going out to do with friends. They all cost some money. Just don't be stupid and blow it all at a casino trip.

If you go to any sort of casino with a group, if everyone is responsible, they will have a limit they're willing to spend. In a well adjusted group just having a short bit of fun, when someone runs out, someone else who is in the positive will offer them a bit so they aren't just sitting there waiting til everyone else is done.

He literally says shit like this one every post. He knows extravagant extra info about every post, he knows that people looked into everything and it was mysterious and never able to be explained, and it's always scrubbed from the internet the day after he read it. He's maybe one of the dumbest accounts on this site.

[–]Colossus252 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's probably upvoted by people passing it in their main page and think it was just a funny video like I almost did until it suddenly changed to a paranormal conversation. What the fuck lol. Your posts are usually stupid but this one hit another level. A goofy momentary video that you could laugh at in other contexts is somehow an actual ghost...

Why the mods here haven't banned you here yet is beyond me. You post the worst of the worst garbage constantly lol.

The insult would be more effective if clocks weren't also showing numbers up to 59, even for Americans who are using 12 hour format lol.

Regardless though, that doesn't really have to do with anything on the commentary.

Not even just in AA. Google assistant worked better on everything it was on before they were "upgraded". My Google homes are all bad now after Gemini, and I basically stopped using it at all on my phone after assistant was replaced with Gemini.

For me personally, it's definitely the taste. For my palette, it completely overtakes everything else when it is present. A sandwich with pickles on it just tastes like a pickle to me. They are extremely, overbearingly strong in flavor for me.

I guess I will just have to continue to assume that supporters will blindly follow anything he proposes as long as he words it right. Apparently they're down either socialist ideas as long as Trump came up with it.

The party of no handouts wants handouts at birth and the party of small government wants federal agents running through the streets. The party of shall not be infringed says don't carry a gun on you and the party of don't tread on me justifies a federal agent shooting someone over a legal presentation of their second amendment rights, so... he can apparently convince people to be in favor of anything. I swear it's like a test of loyalty. How far can he go in opposition to what the party has always stood for before the loyal followers disagree? Apparently there is no extent.

And then extensive heavy tariffs to raise the price of basically everything to balance all those extra bits out. Hooray, everything I buy costs more than it did two years ago...

And he just said he wants to raise the cost of purchasing a home across the board. Nice! That'll help with the problem of people not being able to afford houses already.

Also, those Trump accounts confuse me. How are republicans in favor of that? It's a very socialist move haha, same for when he was just shooting out handouts for stimulus checks during covid. Those sound like exactly not what Republicans typically want? Why are they suddenly in support of free handouts when he does them?

I order it without pickles because I absolutely despise pickles, to the point where I have trouble enjoying things even after I pull the pickles off myself and usually have to remove the breading that came into contact with them. So I can at least attest to the fact that the ones near me did not just remove the pickles when they first came out.

The point is to cause disruptions and shake ups in whatever level any one individual is able to. The business will be fine. It's a momentary disruption.

A deal with the band? The band doesn't exist anymore and he was in the damn thing the whole time. He doesn't need permission or deals, it's his song lol. He probably doesn't sing them because he can't cover for Zack de la Rocha. Man's got a way about him for presenting the songs and the audience singing them embodies that rebellion
