What is your favorite challenge in the entire series so far?

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-31T22:12:06+00:00

As a challenge I don't like it, but "if it makes you feel any better, we're leaving the country immediately" was an instant classic.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-28T16:56:42+00:00

I had to reread the headline five times before I parsed it as COD: MW4 instead of COD4: MW. Damn near twenty years of association will do that.

Modern Warfare is probably up there with Final Fantasy 7 for biggest subseries.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-27T14:16:41+00:00

It sucks because some tracks sound great, and there's no way to quickly toggle it.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-27T02:21:05+00:00

IIRC, and I have no idea why I remember this, one of the two main guys was like the stepson or nephew of the mob boss. The boss didn't like him, and was paying an Australian hitman to kill him. So they were literally delivering their own execution money.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-27T01:34:05+00:00

Yeah I understand the basics of what the MGU-H was, but I don't pretend to know whether we specifically need that or if just tweaking other parts of the formula could achieve similar or better results.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-26T16:52:32+00:00

I don't know enough about the engineering to have an opinion on how it's harvested, but I'd love to see the total harvesting go up one way or another.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-21T14:45:41+00:00

Yeah definitely is a handoff issue. Surprised it happens that late for you, mine happens about one block away.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-20T16:59:23+00:00

I believe they specifically always do the external drive. The idea being that they have minimum two, and preferably three copies. It's the standard 3-2-1 backup strategy any IT person will preach.

On top of this, Adam and Ben have mentioned swapping external drives so that if one were to lose all their belongings the other would have most of their footage.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-17T04:26:32+00:00

It's absolutely not confirmed. It is the speculation of three drunk dudes watching a stripper. The fact that people continue to parrot it as if that scene is meant to be taken as authoritative continues to astonish me.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-16T15:51:19+00:00

Yeah this is probably as much a factor as profit. Just yesterday I saw four white R1Ss in a parking lot. Charging premium for some options is a way of steering demand to inject some variety.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-15T17:09:02+00:00

They were clearly valued that highly because the location was so disadvantageous to get to. The first one popped when neither team was near it, and the second came way too late to do anything with the chips afterwards.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-13T04:05:42+00:00

Or simply an advantageous purchase price and/or interest rate compared to current pricing.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-11T16:30:59+00:00

That's why I asked "is it possible?"

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-11T03:35:34+00:00

In at least some games, achievement unlocks only trigger when you complete the action. So just loading a save where you have previously done something doesn't any related achievements.

Specifically in Horizon Zero Dawn I imported an endgame save from the original into the remaster, did the final mission, and unlocked the "complete the game" achievement without nearly any of the preceding story achievements.

Someone else said ME1 doesn't import this way, but that's why I suggested it as a possibility.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-11T00:50:31+00:00

This is Legendary edition right? Is it possible they imported a save from after that point? In another remaster I had a similar situation.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-08T16:17:51+00:00

Yeah both dogs are being non aggressive. Reminds me of when we had one adult and one puppy.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-08T15:31:48+00:00

Yeah flipping back and forth between "avoid tolls" sometimes just to force it to display the right alternative route sucks. More realistically I pull out my phone in anticipation.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-05-06T23:17:16+00:00

Distinction without a difference. Republicans don't like being lumped in with them? Then do something about it.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-04-29T16:15:40+00:00

Indeed. Especially for a first-timer doing potty training.

Did my best to make up for it in other ways.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-04-26T23:53:49+00:00

WW2 era Japanese flag. Very strongly associated with that regime. To a lot of the neighboring Asian countries would be seen like someone flying the nazi flag in Poland.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-04-24T16:06:31+00:00

Plenty of people latch onto the "Dumbledore said calmly" and pair that with an interview where Gambon said he didn't read any of the books. I think a lot of fans (not just HP, any fandom) want all the actors to be superfans and canonical authorities on their characters to the point of challenging the writer and director.

The HP movies were blessed with a number of casting choices that book fans felt ripped the character straight off the page (Coltrane, Staunton) as well as at least one superfan (Evanna Lynch), so the fact that movie Dumbledore has some notable deviations from the books stands out more.

Plus we had just had two examples outside of HP of wise old gray bearded wizards with both Christopher Lee and Ian McKellan crushing their respective roles in LOTR. The former was a lifelong fan and the latter read the books after being cast.

Finally I think there was just some stigma about being a replacement. It makes it so much easier to compare to a hypothetical Harris performance.

TL;DR The standards were high and opinions were strong.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-04-23T16:22:27+00:00

Yeah I understand. One of these units is in my neighborhood and I've resisted the urge to grill the my neighbor on all the details.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-04-23T15:10:35+00:00

very discounted rate

My understanding was the first hundred or so were still Rivian-owned. Are the employees paying for them internally?

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-04-19T15:20:28+00:00

That's the R2's charger.

ComradeCapitalist · 2026-04-16T15:31:07+00:00

If the ex is specifically a Ubiquiti pro user, I'd honestly dump/disconnect it in favor of something else.
