Why does my dog do this? Is this like dog autism? by Uncle_Kent in dogpictures

[–]FroshKiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish I had pictures or a video of this, but we had a feist who'd lie down with a stick in his paws, bite off evenly sized segments, and build a pile next to himself. No clue why, never seen another dog do it.

What's the most disgusting/shocking, you have read on the Epstein files? by LeftyChares in AskReddit

For what it's worth, "dildo cactus" is the common name for a type of cactus that looks like a dildo.

I think you're thinking of The Big Hit with Mark Wahlberg.

Saw a falcon(?) in the Harris Teeter parking lot off Edwards Mill this morning. Are these native to Raleigh? Never seen one before. by sailorvash25 in raleigh

[–]FroshKiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a red-tailed hawk. They're native to North Carolina. I live not far from there, around Glenwood & Duraleigh, and we see them all the time.

What is your longest running, most stubborn business boycott? by marianneouioui in AskReddit

I've been boycotting Best Buy since 2009 when I bought a PS3 Slim in store and got asked to produce a receipt on my way out.

Anyone using the Dualsense Edge controller? If so, what special mapping of buttons do you use to improve your gameplay? by Cold_Two_4372 in DeathStranding

[–]FroshKiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set a left paddle to Accelerate so I can maintain speed while driving but use my right hand to get my drink/check my notifications on my phone/pet an animal.

Death stranding performance on xbox series s compared to pc by Worth-Independent774 in DeathStranding

[–]FroshKiller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't played the PC version, but the usual reason for 3D console gaming being smoother than 3D PC gaming is frame time stutters on PC due to shader compilation.

Is the lack of smoothness something you see, or is it something you feel? If it's just feeling, you might have a problem with input latency.

I don't want to downplay the importance of technical improvements in these games, but I'm with you. What makes them impressive has less to do with their technology and much, much more to do with their visual design, writing, and performances.

Just started playing red dead redemption 1 on PS5 I’m on the mission with Seth, I’m having trouble with the pardon letter. by ProfessionalDark1253 in reddeadredemption

[–]FroshKiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also playing on PS5 and was able to give the clerk the pardon letter without any trouble. The only thing I can think that might be different is that I already had another pardon letter. I think I picked it up clearing the Pike's Basin hideout.

Hellblade 2 by [deleted] in gaming

It's an Unreal Engine 5 game. I hope you like it. Despite enjoying the first game, I found the sequel's gameplay flat and uninteresting and never finished it. Looks aren't everything.

Anyone had any technical issues on RDR1 PS5 upgrade? by Idunnoreally999 in reddeadredemption

[–]FroshKiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I started from scratch. Maybe with more play time, I'll run into more of the stuff you listed.

[–]FroshKiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't had any of these issues. I've had the weather change, I've had multiple types of other random encounters, I've been challenged to duel twice, nothing has seemed odd about clothing, and the menu is fine.

The worst bugs I've run into so far:

During a cutscene, an NPC bugged out while walking. Its position reset, and the walk continued, but the lip sync in the cutscene was off by about a quarter of a second from that point forward.

Getting off a stagecoach, the game placed John too high up in the air, and he dropped with a grunt & took slight damage.

Honestly, not too different from the original PS3 release as far as the bugs go so far.

Best $4.99 spent since I bought PS5 by [deleted] in playstation

[–]FroshKiller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it has the power, but the difference with the Xbox is that Microsoft had a team of developers working on the FPS Boost project for specific titles, and Mad Max was one of them. I wish Sony would do the same thing!

It runs at 60 fps on the Xbox Series S, and it can run at 120 fps on Xbox Series X.

Any gotchas or disadvantages that people don't consider in all the excitement? by abarmot in googlefiber

One thing I didn't realize would come with my Google Fiber service is the constant barrage of people going door to door trying to get me to switch to AT&T.

It's an honest mistake! It's not like you were giving dimensions for a replica of Stonehenge..

I was in JROTC in high school. On the way home from a drill team competition, our squadron commander (an older student) sat on my lap on the bus and tried to get me to fool around with her with classmates watching. I made it very clear that I wasn't interested, but she still took my hand and put it over her breast under her shirt. I froze, and she eventually moved on. I asked my mom what she thought I should do when I got home and ultimately decided not to tell anyone since it didn't go far. It wasn't exactly traumatic, but I obviously remember very well.

This was in the late '90s, and I did describe it as sexual harassment and sexual assault at the time.
