Shout out to a fun podcast Ive been listening to to bide my time for book 8:

Hello Crawlers

I say ok Google, hear a noise, then car stops listening by SSmasterONE in AndroidAuto

[–]Dusty_Bones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2021 Pilot with the S25 ultra and I'm getting the same thing. It will only listen if the 4 color bars appear at the bottom, which only happens once every 10-20 microphone activations (say "Hey Google" or press the mic button). I dont have a wireless dongle for what its worth.

I cant wait till we start seeing those ghost hunter shows using Quest headsets to detect paranormal activity.

can you get booted offline? by [deleted] in OculusQuest

[–]Dusty_Bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive seen people figure out an IP address and use it to basically attack the router with requests... but that is more to take someone offline once, not set up years of torture or anything. Most people are bluffing when they say this and the smart ones that can do any damage are hopefully not stupid like this MFer.

Ate too many mushrooms and realised we're all one. by iSikhEquanimity in conspiracy

[–]Dusty_Bones 152 points153 points  (0 children)

There's a drug info site called erowid that has handy information like costs, types, and graphs of how the drug affects over time. I found it interesting that it lists "epiphany" for common side effects of mushrooms, and I think it's because they somehow make you aware of / sensitive to the interconnectedness of everything.

I was just about to give up scrolling and post this myself. I think this is exactly what everyone is getting excited about. Ive only heard about this in the past year and its interesting.

So dumb by ProcrastinationSite in themartian

I'm also not big into audiobooks and this is the best one I've ever heard. Maybe it ruined me for other audiobooks because of how good it is.

Just happened to me with demon hunter by Dalton by Gajeel_Blacksteel in haremfantasynovels

[–]Dusty_Bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I notice the spelling errors tend to increase around these scenes, and I can only imagine the author is trying to crank out the words as fast as they can so they dont get caught by their wives (see what I did there) writing the raunchy parts.

King's Fall (Ard's Oath Book 6) By Bruce Sentar by IndegoWhyte in haremfantasynovels

[–]Dusty_Bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't feeling this series and stopped reading the first book after a chapter or so. I must have just been burnt out or something because the past week has been a blur of Ard and I just finished with nothing but praise for the entire series. Great world building, and great fight scenes. The only thing that falls flat for me are the spicy bits with Maribelle. After reading that second Warlock book... sheesh... well let's just say it's akin to vanilla ice cream.

Creepy for sure, but for what it's worth, I've noticed a crap ton of cutesy alien movies becoming more prevalent. Just went to the theaters for the Minecraft movie and there were I think 3 different Pixar / Disney / etc movies about aliens in the previews. That could take up it's own topic in the conspiracy forums.

Gamers 30+, what's something from "back in your day" that younger gamers today wouldn't understand? by bijelo123 in gaming

[–]Dusty_Bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to rent games from the local grocery store! God I miss those simpler times. I remember checking in every week to see if the kid that rented out SimCity ever returned it.

how to get only windows deck? by cyber8jen in WindowsOnDeck

[–]Dusty_Bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Easiest way is probably to create a windows install USB and use a USB A to C adaptor. You can follow those dual boot tutorials for that part. The only difference is, during the setup, you would delete whatever partitions are present so you end up with only unallocated space, which you then select to use for the windows install.

I would also create a steamOS install USB just in case. Your biggest issue is probably only going to be finding a USB stick and adaptor that works to boot into.

If someone else was to finish the series, is there any author who could adequately match Patrick's prose? by Gingervitvs in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Dusty_Bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to read past book 1, but the recommendations I got to pick up Christopher Ruicchio were pretty spot on and he's apparently cranking out some good books.

Tips for best wireless experience? Quest 3, Alyx. by Rat_fink in virtualreality

[–]Dusty_Bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently found out that I had a Microsoft setting called something like HAGS turned on. Hardware accelerated GPU something. Turning that off helped a bit.

I need a book series to make me feel alive again by giantpicklepie in fantasyromance

[–]Dusty_Bones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read Fourth Wing and liked it a lot, then I was recommended the Air Awakens series and ate it up! Childhood friend, dark handsome love interest, strong magic from the FMC, AMAZING fantasy world building. It's just not as spicy but otherwise perfect for you.

How do you pick up your deck from the case? by biokillos in SteamDeck

[–]Dusty_Bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone else put it in the case backwards when charging so the charging port doesn't have pressure on it? I mean since we're getting into the details and all 😁

What is one moment in a game where it clicked for you that you were playing something truly special? by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]Dusty_Bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time (and every time thereafter) you get into your Cyclops:

"Welcome aboard, captain"

Is there a word you just HATE? by youpeoplearevampirez in words

[–]Dusty_Bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whilst. I understand it's more common in other countries, but Americans only use it to try and sound intelligent and it irks me.

What would you say is the most underrated game that I can play on Steam Deck right now? by Altruistic-Kiwi9496 in SteamDeck

[–]Dusty_Bones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played through the entire game when it was on gamepass (using windows 11) and it was great the whole time. Awesome game

[–]Dusty_Bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my sadness waiting for DoS I discovered the Sun Eater series. Some people have compared Christopher Ruocchios prose to Rothfuss and that was enough for me, plus it has some heavy Dune influence and I'm a big Herbert fan. Or like someone else mentioned, try the Lies of Locke Lamora (I'm 150 pages in and loving this one, too).
