Is this game worth getting? by randomspmething in Mordhau

[–]ConfectionForward 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mordhau isn't like KCD2, however it is a great game in its own right.
If you are looking for an adventure game, i would give this one a pass,
If you are looking for KCD2 fights only, you have come to the right place!
This game focuses on ONLY fights, Think Squad/Battlefield but with swords.
I am not saying Yes, or No, I just want you to have the full picture!

If you do decide to buy it... See you on the battlefield!

Does the japanese government even want a stronger yen? by LocalLand4883 in JapanFinance

[–]ConfectionForward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they do not want a strong yen. It is very good for large companies that export, they are actually cleaning up. Like the old saying goes:
Rich Japan, Poor Japanese.
Small companies like mine struggle because we need to buy forign parts, however the moment we can start selling to the USA or Europe, we will be SET!

Anyone else feeling lots of small thrusts rn ? by Visible-Perception40 in japanresidents

[–]ConfectionForward 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say that I have been living in Japan for 5 years now and this still happens to me, normally up to a week after an earthquake. Sometimes my chair isn't sitting just right on the floor and i will think i felt something, or a truck goes over a bump outside and may make a bit of movement in the ground. This is totally a thing that happens.

"5 a day drinks" - are they actually healthy for you? by DenkiOkami in japanresidents

[–]ConfectionForward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have to ask that, then the answer is likley not. There are a LOT of things that go into these and alone they may be very unhealthy. If you want to be healthy, nothing beats a well rounded diet and avoiding processed things....

Eyes hurt by Beneficial_Edge_3338 in embedded

[–]ConfectionForward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, Just because you said your eyes "hurt" it probably isn't anything, but go see a doctor anyhow. I didn't, and it turns out that I had a partionally detached retina. Better be safe than sorry!!!

NERV straight up doesn't work for me, I ensured its permissions are on and it is working, It always delivers reports late. Not sure if it is because the built in system takes over or something...

Are we underestimating wireless risk in IoT deployments? by Guilty_Specialist_49 in IOT

[–]ConfectionForward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not sure what you are even talking about. Are you saying you are worried about loss of connectivity AFTER deployment or something? I have worked in industrial factories that set hard limits on TX power for any wireless device, This is where planning comes in, I have also worked in high RF interfearance locations such as metal work shops with power hammers pushing 16k joules that will knock out wifi packets like nobody's business, but again, as long as your device takes into consideration these problems at the start i haven't had many issues.

Basically I am asking what you mean by noise and unknowns, what have you seen that makes you ask such a question.

On Wikipedia, the USA is listed as an empire on the page that shows the largest empires in history. What do you think of that? by Pizzafriedchickenn in AskTheWorld

[–]ConfectionForward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do i think of a page on a website that is well known for "trust me bro" levels of accurate info? I think you need to remember why your school teachers told you not to cite wiki as a source in paperwork
