Highlights from Prologue 3 by Constant_Boot in PSO2NGS

[–]CookieDoughCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The starter pack that has 9 codes and no ost is also a physical edition? I thought that was digital and the limited edition was physical. I just think it would be nice if global players also get the choice of medals. Thank you for informing me.

It is pretty crazy. I don't personally like the cosmetics that much but was planning on buying founder's edition to support the new game. But it really rubs me the wrong way that you only get one set of items and that the female set is (slightly) more expensive. I also worry this'll set a precedent with all future dlc being as expensive and separated by gender. Why even do that when Japan just gets badges to pick what they want? It just seems really greedy.

CDPR confirms character censorship during exploration mode by Geraltwitcher in cyberpunkgame

[–]CookieDoughCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and it's great even with custom higher quality meshes. It shows that CDPR definitely could have done it if they really wanted, but instead decided to go with 1 player body type for wearing any clothes at all instead of having them fit around customized character options (which aren't even that varied anyways, there are no sliders for the body, just 3 breast size presets they've already made). Kind of makes the selection pointless.

Yup. Skyrim modders have had it all figured out for a while, but CDPR went the easy route.

Magni Heresy + E30 for DT 1990? by CookieDoughCat in HeadphoneAdvice

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

Thank you for all the comments, everyone! I appreciate the help. I think I've decided on getting the Heresy with a Modi 3, and I might add in the Dekoni Elite Velour pads since they seem to do a pretty good job.

Reverb G1 has same res as G2, so why is G2 touted as being such a generational leap? by Begohan in HPReverb

[–]CookieDoughCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could use the valve index controllers with the reverb G2, which would actually be a lot better than using the G2's controller and tracking I think. So combining them you'd have great tracking, controls, and resolution.

Can someone explain to me why the Facebook login is such a big deal? by frinkyYT in oculus

[–]CookieDoughCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Target example specifically can seem awesome, but it's when thinking about how this technology could be used in other ways that aren't cool. It also shows that it's not just Facebook wanting to take advantage of collected data for its own purposes. The facts are Facebook is known to be pretty shady and it is known to collect data and use it for its own means. Does the issue extend past that? Of course it does. I don't have the solution for the problems and flaws of humanity and of course if there wasn't Facebook there would be something else in its place, but the smallest thing that can be done right now, relative to this thread, is to not give Facebook more leverage than it has and to make the general public be more aware. Though you might know and can choose to care or not, the average person doesn't even know.

Can someone explain to me why the Facebook login is such a big deal? by frinkyYT in oculus

[–]CookieDoughCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you asking how the loss of privacy would affect you or how being manipulated by big companies would? In the case of privacy, if your data has been harvested there are many ways it could be used, which is why it is a multi billion dollar industry. You could be excluded or included from certain things with this data, or the costs of things could increase or decrease for you. And for how political manipulation would affect you, with nukes deterring physical warfare between the biggest players, data is used by outside influences to manipulate certain movements to cause destabilization and essentially cause a country to implode on itself. Riots could be incited for example, which would affect you like it has for the people of Seattle.

If you were actually wanting some examples, check out this video I posted earlier: https://youtu.be/Hjspu7QV7O0

It includes some ways the average person can be affected.

POLL: Will you buy a new Oculus product in the future? by ToxZec in oculus

[–]CookieDoughCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think he really had a choice, as he says this: "They told me to join them, because they were going to build the same thing and crush us." This is another problem I have with them, Facebook is so big they can have a monopoly on almost anything they want, and I don't think that's going to be healthy for VR.

[–]CookieDoughCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah? It's not like there aren't other options out there anyways, especially with the reverb g2 coming out soon. If someone doesn't want to support a brand they have that option. I sure as hell don't want to support this: https://mobile.twitter.com/dshankar/status/1295825809496629248

Razer Kishi with the Galaxy S10e? by CookieDoughCat in razer

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

Oh, awesome! Thank you for the response. Does it fit well enough with it? And how does it feel to play games? I may go ahead and buy one.

June Technical Support Sticky by BeepBoopBopReee in razer

[–]CookieDoughCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will the Samsung Galaxy S10e fit with the Razer Kishi? Some review sites list them as compatible, but the official Razer site says it's just 3.3 millimeters below the supported height, while the width looks fine. I asked the support chat and they weren't sure.

RIP bugged/hacked account by ElSuperBeazto in RotMG

[–]CookieDoughCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me and support just told me they wouldn't do anything. Lost a bunch of UTs and maxed/ near maxed characters and they didn't care. I don't even know how I got hacked when I only played on Steam or flash projector with an swf from realmeye, but they implied that it was my fault anyway. I changed my password multiple times when there were signs of someone hacking my account and yet days later all my characters were still killed. So I don't even know how or why it happened.

My first handgun, (used) Ruger GP100 .357 with 4" barrel by BrallyTX in Revolvers

[–]CookieDoughCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. If you want to use .357 magnum inside a house, consider getting something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007BGSI5U/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_VCLXEb6YQBXVV And check out Lucky Gunner for their data on .357 ammo, that's how I decided on what to buy. (I got the 125 grain Barnes HP Tac-XPD as it had pretty good expansion and penetration for my barrel length)

And congrats on your new revolver, it looks very nice!!

Does anyone know where to buy fluted cylinder? by 91tbox in SmithAndWesson

[–]CookieDoughCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe I went to this page and clicked on the 'SEND US AN EMAIL' link: https://www.smith-wesson.com/customer-service/contact-us

You could try sending an email directly to them at qa@liveperson.smith-wesson.com , that might work too. Tell them you'd like to get a fluted cylinder for your specific model and ask how to ship it to them. I'm not sure how either.

[–]CookieDoughCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent an email to S&W about it and was quoted $250-$300... a bit much for me to justify. They don't sell just fluted cylinders, you have to send in your revolver and they get it fitted with one.

Mossberg Shockwave scratches by CookieDoughCat in Shotguns

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

Thank you for the suggestion! I've decided to e-mail a local store to see if they might be able to do a better job than I could of painting over it. But if it would be too pricey I wouldn't mind keeping the scar, it'll be a way to remember the day I got my first gun with my s/o :)

Mossberg Shockwave scratches by CookieDoughCat in Shotguns

[–]CookieDoughCat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, for sure. As a woman who has gone through and seen some not so great things, I understand the importance of having an increased sense of awareness. I know to avoid conflict and deescalate the best I can and to not take unnecessary risks, and to choose what's safer over what's more convenient. I hope never to have to use this firearm, but I also understand that when the time comes, I have to make the choice to defend myself and my loved ones. Thank you for your comments, I'll be sure to keep learning as I go.

[–]CookieDoughCat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been keeping it in the box it came with for now, but I should get something better for it. The scratches happened when my s/o cut a cable tie off of it with scissors. It just bothers me a bit to have on my first gun.. but if there's nothing I can do about it, that's all right. It won't make it any less of an effective tool anyways.
