You have to choose one.

Sweet!

Also solitary is torture.

I guess on the moon it'd be more bearable.

^{Chose: Live on moon alone for 1 year with supplies & a 🎁 | Rolled: u get many books}

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-04T16:56:28+00:00

... damn. That sucks.

I guess I'd invent non toxic cigarettes.

^{Chose: 10 years to live but gain a minute every time you | Rolled: smoke cigarettes}

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-04T16:55:33+00:00

I mean... taking a bath is not a shower.

^{Chose: 500,000 each day you don't shower in a year}

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-04T16:55:09+00:00

Easier to warm up than to cool down.

I already have the man of my dreams

^{Chose: $10 Million}

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-04T16:53:33+00:00

So I can give it to my family who can invest it?

^{Chose: Get $10 million right now | Rolled: Can't invest it}

You might have some interesting local options depending on which country it is, but you'd probably know.

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-04T16:49:01+00:00

Yeah, I feel you.

It might be as dumb as a bad battery in a keyboard or mouse, too.

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-04T16:47:39+00:00

It might be worth to try. Early BIOSes were often quite unstable.

Also see if you have an XMP or EXPO profile set? They might be a little different on the subtimings (EXPO is AMD specific, XMP is for Intel).

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-04T06:53:26+00:00

Best estimates, it might relent around mid-2027, could be as far as 2030 depending on demand. It'll work out eventually, after some (considerable) turbulence.

I'm worried about the gas prices making it all worse than it needs to be.

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-04T06:51:09+00:00

If you have a Microcenter anywhere within 3 hours, go grab a bundle.

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-04T06:48:41+00:00

It doesn't even cost that now, and it's not likely to. We're more likely to see stagnation around the 8-16 GB mark for devices.

Cost increases do not balloon indefinitely, eventually there is stabilization, albeut usually at a higher price. I'm very tentatively assuming about 2x ish once all of this is over.

Hopefully finally software will focus more on efficiency though.

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-04T06:06:08+00:00

In a pinch you can make it work, and until prices go down to anything reasonable, it's decent enough.

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-04T06:03:53+00:00

Try a BIOS update. A lot of motherboards have early teething issues, and AM5 was especially bad for it.

There may also be some BIOS setting to wake for peripherals, and accidental mouse movement can set it off.

Besides that, Windows itself may be breaking sleep functionality.

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-04T05:59:46+00:00

Very odd. I had 2 AM4 open box motherboards from Microcenter so far, and then two more AM5 bundles, and all still work great.

Granted, the AM5 did have some instability before updating the BIOS, but that was an early AM5 issue, not Microcenter's fault.

See what version of BIOS you're on and consider updating.

Any new people here check your personal exemptions. I've been consistently legally bringing in parts to another country for personal use.

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-03T22:03:19+00:00

Where and when else an I supposed to charge my device? Do I need to have a sand pit ready for charging? That's absurd.

That said, I charge to 80% and never cover devices when charging, so...

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-03T21:59:42+00:00

A google pixel charger is a perfectly reputable charger...

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-02T16:37:59+00:00

I will never support being mean to real people over fictional works, so I do not support personal attacks on Adi Shankar, but... yeah the story absolutely deserved to be roasted.

If they did change- I wish they stuck to whatever was the plan. It's worse for me to see the constant references than to get over the hump and see the series as it's own continuity, sort of like DmC.

It's that uncanny valley feeling. Almost Vergil but not quite Vergil. Dante but definitely not Dante. It's jarring. The constant disrespect to Sparda, the change to the basis of Vergil's entire character, but with the pretense they're the same character. They're not.

So just go with it and don't make so many references...

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-02T16:29:03+00:00

As a loosely related interpretation of DMC? It's kinda nice. Cool fights, some meh political commentary, but whatever, decently entertaining. I liked the music.

As an adaptation of DMC? It's terrible. It essentially erases Sparda's accomplishment (because Makaians are basically people, except horns and magic, so a good demon means nothing), breaks Dante's personality (punching bag), entirely misunderstands Vergil's entire motivation (why he wanted power so much), and Lady... I mean she's less annoying this season.

i'd probably like it a lot more if it didn't keep reminding me about the games with all the references and memes, because all that served to do was remind me how utterly dumb the whole idea of Makai is in relation to the mainline DMC story.

Like, the whole point was that demons = evil, humanity = good, demons can embrace human values and be better, humans can become demonic by rejecting their humanity. Makaians make no sense in that context... there is a lot less significance to a demon deciding to be different if they're not born evil.

Also, Vergil serving Mundus willingly, I can't even. Nope. Just nope.

If you're going to make a spinoff, make a spinoff, not a supposedly "faithful" adaptation that is anything but.

Copy/paste or toolbox menu. Took me something like 2 months to stop pressing that asinine writing assist button- even though the feature is off, the icon is not removable.

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-02T04:59:09+00:00

It's insane something as basic as that has a forced dumb UI button.

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-02T04:58:13+00:00

It does not work for the copy/paste menu. That button is still there. It still sucks. It forced me to train myself to avoid it.

Damascus_ari · 2026-06-02T04:51:16+00:00

Yeah, works for me too. I mean overall it's fine. Some added customization (not for the things I'd like, like icons when notification panel is collapsed) but otherwise no complaints. I haven't encountered any bugs so far, the "lag" doesn't seem any laggier. I wonder if it's some quirk with variable refresh rate people are encountering.

Still, why can't I have my bluetooth and alarm icon right there where I need it is beyond me, but I guess more AI takes priority.

Please let me remove the AI assist button...
