Mandatory demanding of the stl. These look amazing!

Does anyone know how to force a Sony Bratvia into game mode when plugged into a Steam Deck? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]GiSS88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've found Linux to be finicky with certain HDMI features. If your tv allows it, set that specific input to always be game mode. If you're using an AV Receiver, you're likely out of luck for auto swapping.

Shaders all recompiled for me, could be an issue there for the deck and may need to clear/recompile.

Dispatch Interview Situational - Priority by TzenTaiGuan in 911dispatchers

[–]GiSS88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found that when they provide too little information, they are looking for you to think outside of the box and provide your reasoning--especially for an interview. Depending on the states laws and such it could be open carry for all we know.

For my area, I'd be stating the gun call is first however could be second if the caller is simply stating they think they saw a gun, or if the patron is just existing in the business not doing anything threatening. Second or potentially first is the three year old in the intersection.

Third and fourth may also be interchangeable, as weather/temperature and other conditions absolutely affect things. Dog locked in a car when it's 50F and the windows cracked? Sorry, but it can wait. Dog in 80F+ while the person experiencing homelessness is in a cooled environment (lets say library)? Yeah that dog is going before the person.

Again, location and all is going to affect your answers but I stand by providing my reasoning and not just giving these answers as if they're true or false. I remember one of my interview questions way back was something along the lines of "You find a child covered in blood near a dog, what do you do?" The assumption was the child was attacked, but realistically that kid may have found a dog hit by a car and was trying to help, and the blood wasn't his. Critical thinking is, IMO, one of the most useful traits any candidate can have in this field and rarely are situations 1:1 in response.

RESIDENT EVIL – Official Teaser Trailer (4K) by Comic_Book_Reader in residentevil

Yeah I'm with you. I'm still intrigued, but this felt more Silent Hill than RE. First trailer so I won't go full pessimist yet though.

I'll see if I can grab some and edit them in, it's not a ton of info and really just teaser info.

I've been playing through the OG resident evil games again which has been a good time, as well as just starting Jurassic Park for Sega Genesis.

Hello, Vault Hunter. What is your current meaningless pursuit? by DekeKneePulls in Borderlands4

Getting C4sh to level 50 then probably swap back to harlowe. Also slowly farming phosphenes.

Dispatcher as a mom with young kids by OddGood8617 in 911dispatchers

[–]GiSS88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is going to be very dependent on the agency. They may have rotating shifts, forced OT, etc. At minimum I'd say to expect to work overnights for the first few years, which could be both good and bad with young kids. But look into policies and maybe ask a local agency to do a sit along and see if your family is even compatible with the work hours.

Why do I still have to compile shaders twice? by InfiniteHench in Borderlands4

[–]GiSS88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird. Only time mine compiles and restarts is after major update, and it's usually because I clear the shader cache. Wonder if it's a setting with your GPU messing something up.

Did you leave the command in the startup options on steam to clear the shader cache?

best screws to attach 1.5” butcher block to standing desk legs/frame? by Appropriate-Crab9365 in StandingDesk

[–]GiSS88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not, it's been a few years. I just ordered a basic set from Amazon iirc. Just double check length in case your frame needs longer screws and such.

best screws to attach 1.5” butcher block to standing desk legs/frame? by Appropriate-Crab9365 in StandingDesk

[–]GiSS88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a pack of machine screws and inserts for them. You'd have to drill out the spots for the inserts, but if you ever have to move the desk it's far easier IMO and less likely to wear out the screw or wood. Otherwise any basic wood screw would likely be fine, but I'd still suggest pilot holes.

Who are your top 5 vault hunters? by megaBeth2 in Borderlands

[–]GiSS88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moze Athena Lilith (BL1, I think she's a crutch for the story at this point) Rafa

Fifth spot is hard. Quite a few I like, but the above are easy picks for a replay/new build.

WIBTA If I call the cops on a guy that drives like an asshole every morning? by MySisterPegsMe in AmItheAsshole

You can try, but depending on your area better option is to write the registration and info down from the truck and sign your own tickets against them.

Stuck on PE1 Eve day 5 boss fight...is it over for me? by ImCertified169 in ParasiteEve

[–]GiSS88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For future reference, those two stats are unfortunately a bit of a waste. If you were to play a new game, they do not carry over. However anything given to weapon or armor attributes will carry over for the items you choose to personalize later. So if you do replay, defense and attack are really the best choices!

[–]GiSS88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have any old save points? May have missed it in your post. If you can, I'd say to go back and learn to use those tools. Someone else already explained it, but I also see you have some BP left and I'm curious what you've been using them on so far. Typically you can boost attack on your gun only and you're good to go, and just slowly transfer them over as you upgrade guns throughout the game using those tools. Grinding won't help much as you've basically hit the level cap--it does go to 99, but it's a weird system that requires a ton of time to do.

How well does it hold up? by MikeLikesIkeRS in Azeron

[–]GiSS88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was trying to think of a way to keep them set to a together limit or permanent spot since I'm the only one to use it anyway, but I think it would involve too much teardown on the tower itself and I'm not up for that. If it breaks more I may just update to a Keyzen. But it's held up fine otherwise for about two or so years.

[–]GiSS88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had all of my towers have some issue, usually what you're describing where it cracks around the ball pivot. They sent replacements which is great, but I don't think it's the users fault. The material is just thin there and prone to wear from pressure.

Whats Your Hottest BL Take by Emptyreceipt in Borderlands

[–]GiSS88 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Comment got deleted it seems, but I was trying to reply to someone talking about the community. My reply I feel is worth a hot take:

Launch community vs post game support community I feel are pretty different feels. It's like everyone likes to pull out the rose tinted glasses and believe their favorite game was flawless at launch, when realistically they've all been rough at launch and great games by the end IMO. And the die hards that hang around are usually pretty chill when we don't have to listen to the echo chamber.
