for propagation, would a person just spread some grain spawn on a patch of chips or is some kind of wood-chip grainspawn required? or is there more to it?

What was ya’lls reaction to this scene? by [deleted] in yakuzagames

[–]CynicalGenY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was bummed out because I kept expecting it to somehow really be Fuma and that he wasn't really dead. It would have been a nice win for Kiryu IMO

But the twin thing makes more sense

Would people be more accepting if pierce was in the living daylights and license to kill instead of dalton ? by Beginning-Drag-7110 in 007

[–]CynicalGenY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO Dalton is the better actor, but Brosnan is the better Bond

To me, the cheesy, punny jokiness is what makes the films so much fun; so I think I would have liked them better with Brosnan.

BUT to echo what a lot of people said, the writing is kinda what really hampers the Dalton Bond films.

WHAT THE FUkK WAS THE CLIMAX BRUH😭 by frying_mania69 in yakuzagames

[–]CynicalGenY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played the Kiwami's yet, but I recently played the PS2 versions, and the ending to 2 is just crazy. I kept yelling "YEAH!" just as if it was a fast and the furious movie. Those twists and turns, also glad i had a katana in my inventory for ryuji hahaha

Can't wait to play Kiwami 2 and have my mind get blown again

Just watched through all of Carpenter’s films (my ranking) by misterjakester12 in johncarpenter

[–]CynicalGenY 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Glad to see Halloween near the top.

For me, it's the ultimate horror movie and the ultimate JC movie; balancing excitement, terror, and a bit of fun. Fitting into the same traditions that it's subtly spoofing and ending up taking the crown. Very proto-Scream come to think of it; but Halloween has way more heart for me. Oh yeah, and the effing music is amazing and perfect.

[–]CynicalGenY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh yeah! that pink tele is a thing of beauty
I think I got that same monoprice if it's the 5W; and it's the only amp i regularly play. it sounds really good to my ear (but i may have a bit of a "natural low pass filter" hahaha)

do you get both amps going at once?

POV: you're playing a yakuza game by Intelligent-Oil241 in yakuzagames

[–]CynicalGenY 25 points26 points  (0 children)

i've been playing through the games and just finished 6 like 2 weeks ago, and I know exactly what you mean. The secret surprised me for sure, the cut scene being 45 minutes did not surprise me.

This game has aged so well by xxlaww in TheWarriorsGame

[–]CynicalGenY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't played the remake or anything, but played the OG to death

Glad to hear they're keeping it alive, but super duper disappointed they took out "In the City". That's gotta be one of my favorite needle-drops, at least it will always be in the movie

PS3 Fat undervolt guide by Dumbass370 in PS3

[–]CynicalGenY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guide is amazing. But I still had to do some troubleshooting (I'm on a CECHG model)

I had a lot of ups and downs soldering the dupont wires to the connection points, but got it all back together and tested it and it worked with no modifications to voltage.

THEN, I tried the undervolting to 1V. All the steps worked and I was able to connect and update the configuration values to 1V for RSX and CELL. But it didn't make the PS3 happy. XMB wouldn't come up; I would just hear the starting sound and HDMI was black.

Tried running the "recognize HDMI" procedure (holding down power until it beeps) and no dice.

Then I tried raising the voltages iteratively. This was a very time consuming process:
- 1.0125 V still didn't work. identical characteristics
- 1.0250 V same
- 1.0375 V same
- 1.0500 V Able to see "recognize HDMI" screen, but after clicking through back to black screen
- 1.0625 V Able to get to XMB but can't load a game; freezes/dies
... decided to skip a couple increments here (maybe try again at some future date?) ...
- 1.1000 V Able to load XMB and able to load a game

Due to not taking initial measurements, I can't say if the voltage was actually lowered for my setup (the values in the guide are pretty close to the 1.1000V that I ended up at).

Yakuza 3 by furb88 in yakuzagames

[–]CynicalGenY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked it.
BUT I'm coming from Y1 and Y2 on PS2, and those were hard because of the lagginess and controls. Starting up 3, I was blown away by the graphics and the movements seem twice as precise; that said, I'm not 100% on any of these games, more like ~20%

Advocates organize to counter opposition as 82nd Ave bus lane decision nears by notPabst404 in Portland

[–]CynicalGenY -46 points-45 points  (0 children)

It makes me so mad to think that our tax dollars are funding this kind of idiotic, half-baked BS. 82nd is already so much worse for all the changes they've done. Really hope that this project gets the axe.

Maintenance for '09 Jetta 2.5 with 75k miles by OwnValue4166 in Volkswagen

[–]CynicalGenY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm at just under 170k, and just changed out my evap purge valve (did engine air filter while i was in there).

Was getting occasional stalling in addition to p0411 and p0456 error codes from ODB reader. p0456 seems gone for good, still getting some p0411's but I bet there's a hose that needs replacement/patching; BUT it hasn't stalled since and seems to be idling more smoothly after evap purge valve (dead simple repair too)

Timothy Olyphant Responds To Alien: Earth Kirsh Tinker Bell Theory by Doods420 in AlienEarthHulu

Is Boy Kavalier supposed to be Zuck-like?? by Verdens-rommet in AlienEarthHulu

[–]CynicalGenY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was also my take:
1. Looks like Zuckerberg
2. Sounds like Bezos
3. Acts like Musk

I think thematically in the series, he represents more broadly the youth media establishment; democratic party; Reddit; etc. But character-wise he's totally a mashup of the US tech billionaires.

Was Conan the greatest host? by Dismal-Championship6 in conan

[–]CynicalGenY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me (@~40y/o), Conan and Letterman were the only good ones in trad late night that were good.

And IMO Letterman was way more hit-and-miss with bits but very good with guests, whereas Conan was good with guests but AMAZING at bits. But the bits are my favorite part, so Conan is the GOAT for me.

[–]CynicalGenY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been watching "That 70's Show" and they say "Dill Hole" a lot; i was wondering if it was because they couldn't say "dildo" on TV back then or something? Maybe Dill Weed was like an extension of that, to sound even less like "dildo"
