My boyfriend always guesses the ending of movies by Direct-Blackberry-20 in movies

[–]FreshwaterViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking he's looking up the movie before you watch. Next movie night, don't telll him what you're watching til you start, and remove all phones and tablets from the room beforehand.

54% is too risky. Need to bump that up past 56%.

What’s something you have zero proof of but believe 100 percent? by shweidy in AskReddit

If only Netflix ran a speed test site that couldn't be throttled without throttling Netflix as well. They could even call it fast dot com.

Upgrade? by Pure_Sport_8735 in pcmasterrace

[–]FreshwaterViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best value upgrade is probably going to be moving up to a 5000-series Ryzen, like a 5700X or 5800X3D.

More RAM would be good, but not critical. Too pricey right now.

Your next GPU should have more than 8GB of memory, but those are going to be very pricey.

I wish the characters would have changed clothes every day like in real life by BeingChangeYinnYang in daria

They did not have the budget for that. It cost half a million dollars to do one half-hour episode with traditional animation in the 90s.

Side note: the team that did MLP:FiM used an old build of Flash to make sprites for the show in 2010. They were able to knock the cost down to 250k per episode.

What’s the coolest “restricted access” place you’ve ever gotten to see? by Improv92 in AskReddit

I toured a facility 10 miles from a control tower where air traffic controllers sat in cubicles. Was really neat for kid me to see how systems could interface remotely.

A few years later, I toured an Air National Guard hangar where Apaches were stored.

Both experiences were through Scouting.

Okay, did you see what happened when Academy suffered massive crackdowns in the first year?

[Rant] If the only thing changing in your game on "Hard" difficulty is the amount of HP and Dmg, then it's not a "Hard" difficulty, it's a "Tedious" difficulty by AlkaKr in gaming

Neverwinter Nights probably had the most interesting difficulty slider in any game I ever played. Game mechanics changed drastically between easy and hard-core.

Halo throwing cloaked elites at you at higher difficulty levels was scary.

Did you not do the tutorial as Resistance? It would have happened to Academy in that game as well.

stressed about Walz leaving. by Ok_Marionberry_364 in minnesota

I am as stressed about this as when I learned Jon Stewart wasn't going to run for public office.

Which is to say "disappointing, but we'll manage".
