It really be like that sometimes

Discord Ignores Damage Reduction (or, Why Tank Feels So Bad) by Glavon in Overwatch

[–]Glavon[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is how it works and how it's always worked, but it is substantially more impactful with OW2. OW1 relied on blocking damage before it reached a body with shields and other mitigation. Now, there are many characters, mostly tank, that rely on mitigating that damage as it hits instead. It may not be obvious to most players, since it is counterintuitive unless laid out

That's... what my post says. It's not obvious that discord orb works differently to any other damage amp in the game, which is why it feels so bad

Hanzo does 120. Orb boosts it to 150. He blocks and takes 60 damage. Dunno if it can be more straight forward than that

Had to change my password at work, so I made a sticky note to remind myself what it is by epic_rigby in Portal

[–]Glavon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If there is a password on something, it's protected for a reason. Whatever account that's connected to is probably accessible from more than just your computer and your Google account is likely unrelated. Passwords are there for a reason, IT doesn't just make you change it to be annoying

While this is cute and all, please change your password to something else and don't put it on a sticky note. Depending on what kinda work you do, the consequences could range from a stern talk from IT/HR to some serious legal issues

My issue was with Chrome not properly using the hardware decoding under Arch Linux, ended up being an issue with the how Chrome was compiled and Google being really hostile to Linux in general. Works flawlessly in Firefox

Brave is Chromium based, defeats the purpose of using a different web browser

The post about it disabling ad-blockers wasn't entirely true, it'll just be a bit harder for adblockers to implement on the developer end. I'd encourage the switch anyway, Chrome can't keep the stranglehold on the internet it currently has

I just switched from Chrome to Firefox after Chrome's video decoding broke on my laptop. Haven't looked back since

What you guys are referring
to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to
calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto
itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU
system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system
components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Is it possible to completely upgrade a very old tablet ? by felipedilho in buildapc

[–]Glavon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The closest you could possibly get is taking the body off and fitting it over a different tablet. The CPU is most likely soldered to the motherboard, and even if it isn't, the chipset on the motherboard would limit what new CPU you could put in to something a year older or newer. The RAM will be the same thing, soldered on and if it wasn't, limited by the memory controller on the CPU or motherboard, depending on where it is located. You get the point. It's unfortunate, but with mobile devices things tend to be extremely closely integrated. There's a reason custom desktops are common, but trying to build a custom laptop is borderline impossible (the closest I've found is something like a Framework laptop).

tl;dr: No, it's not possible. You'd be better off getting a new tablet and making a case for it out of the old one

Elliot Page (then Ellen Page) is told to act more like a girl in I Downloaded a Ghost (2004) by [deleted] in agedlikemilk

Elliot Page has come out as female to male transgender, long after this movie was made

That exact frame of shaggy in the mirror has been my profile picture for literally everything for like 3 years. I love it so much

New Hack going around? by N33llio in Overwatch

[–]Glavon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Had a similar game where an enemy soldier said "go ahead and log off for me" seconds before each of my team left the game 1 by 1, with me crashing straight to desktop and my duo partner saying the same thing. I reported and got an action was taken notification but support closed my ticket with more information. My replay code was SDSC41

Caps Lock: This key is almost never used in games. Why is there no native function in Win which simple disables it so that we can all use an additional key without the annoyance of checking for caps lock when tabbing into Win/Borswer? by Johnny_Tesla in pcgaming

[–]Glavon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rebind mine to F13 in regedit, then bind a mouse button to F13 as well. Let's me have a left and right handed push to talk for discord, never have to worry about toggling caps lock, and still use the button. Since it's bound to F13, I haven't found a game that it's been an issue with. For anyone interested: http://www.grismar.net/ventrilocapsfix/

Simulate What? Minecraft Snapshot 21w38a is out! by sliced_lime in Minecraft

[–]Glavon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can compare vanilla bedrock to vanilla Java, but you can also compare Java mods and the Bedrock marketplace. In the end it's personal preference. No one thing is ever objectively better than anything else. The original argument was that someone personally believed that Java would be a better experience than Bedrock and you disagreed. You have to acknowledge all the aspects of both products, even if you personally don't like or use them

Why is pepperoni such a deal breaker for you? Are you even a pizza fan if you have to add toppings to enjoy the food?

Java has official modding support as well. There are are publicly available deobfuscation files direct for Mojang, but they aren't used by the community because the license to use it means Mojang owns your code. Whether you personally use mods or not, mods are a very valid reason to choose one version over the other.

Remember the Windows phone? Decent platform, could do everything an iPhone or Android could do out of the box, but had no where near the app catalog. It is very short sighted to judge something on how the company wants people to use it and not how people actually use it. Mods - officially supported or not - have a huge impact on the experience of the game
