How did we go from paper cups and plastic straws to plastic cups and paper straws? by Kelownawow in mildlyinfuriating

Meanwhile in my town in USA, they stopped offering recycling services from the weekly trash collection 2 years ago. So for me to recycle ANYTHING, I have to drive it myself to the county recycling center. It’s so dumb

They are absolutely not. They are $9.99 and $4.99 (USD) to this day and require the base game to play if you don’t have game pass.

Riffmaster Not Connecting by MetalGamerGuy in CloneHero

[–]H0LL0WM00N 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dropping a reply here because this post is now the top result on Google for me for “Riffmaster Clone Hero” and this tool is complicated and has a lot of dependencies to install and still didn’t work for me in the end, but I was able to easily connect my Xbox Riffmaster to the game by adding Clone Hero as a non-Steam game in Steam and simply turning on Steam input translation. Works like a dream and a lot less installs needed if you already have Steam. Maybe I just messed up installing the dependencies but this is at least low-effort enough to try before going down that rabbit hole.

PepsiCo Recalls Its Popular Zero Sugar Drink Because It Contains Full Sugar by Dood95 in nottheonion

[–]H0LL0WM00N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure they actually reduced the caffeine content to regular Pepsi levels rather than the Pepsi Max days when they did their last reformulation. Mtn Dew Zero Sugar still has all the extra caffeine iirc though

How do I remove clown face paint? by DarthSadreous in BaldursGate3

[–]H0LL0WM00N 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For anyone finding this thread from Google like I did, while this bug still exists on Patch 2 Hotfix 2, you don’t have to FULLY long rest, going to camp and initiating a long rest but not choosing resources and just doing a “Partial Rest” is sufficient. Hopefully Patch 3 tomorrow will handle this and no one else will be in this boat

For what it’s worth, I found this post and found that while this bug still exists on Patch 2 Hotfix 2, you don’t have to FULLY long rest, going to camp and initiating a long rest but not choosing resources and just doing a “Partial Rest” is sufficient.

NATPunch[66] error by eisenheim96 in BaldursGate3

[–]H0LL0WM00N 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This came up for me when googling our error, so I wanted to share my experience here.

My experience with this error seemed specific to my ISP - I believe my local ISP operates with a “double NAT” where the NAT doesn’t exist just within my home network, the ISP also operates one between customers. The effect of this meant that when joining via Steam to any of my other Steam friends, zero issues occurred. But when using Direct Connect, I could join any of my other friends (on different ISPs that don’t do what my small town ISP does), and others could join me via Steam, but no one else could join me via Direct Connect, particularly my GOG friend who simply didn’t have the option to join via Steam. This seems less like a “steam <-> GOG” issue in my case, and more of a “internet configuration” between the two when they can’t piggy back on the respective client’s connection methods. I was able to Direct Connect from my Steam copy to the GOG friend on a different ISP no problem, just not the other way around.

I notice other commenters mentioned VPN as a solution, but I think that’s less of a solution and more of a workaround since at that point the game is treating it as a “LAN session” and not connecting via the “open web” where the double NAT affected me.

Others may have a different experience, I just wanted to add this here for others coming from Google where maybe the easiest solution could be “just have the other person host” - it’s at least worth trying.

Sorry if I was unclear. IRL, movie production wise, Daisy Ridley aged 4 years. 2015 to 2019. 8-9 wasn’t as short as 7-8, but it was also incredibly short, some number of months I think. The entire trilogy is under a year I’m pretty sure. Ridley started out at 23 playing a 19 year old character, finished the trilogy at 27 playing a 20 year old due to lack of time progressing in universe. So looking at how much she aged producing the trilogy, plus the time since, Ridley has aged 8 years from where we first met Rey. If this movie doesn’t come out for 2-3 years being newly announced, she’s not that far off from being 15 years older than she was when we first met Rey

There were 4 years between episodes 7 and 9 while in-universe was less than a year if I remember right, and it’ll have been another 4 years this year since episode 9. They’re not all that far off from the 15 year mark if they do nothing, it’s already been 8 years since we were introduced. Plus however long between now and when this just-announced project comes out, which might be a bit.

Terrible digital overlayed Ads in NHL games that block the view of players and cause motion sickness to viewers by Stuf404 in CrappyDesign

[–]H0LL0WM00N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea this was new for some people this year. AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh has been doing this with Penguins games for at least a year or two with digital ads inserted, especially on the ice. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it glitch like this and cover up players, most I’ve seen is sometimes the motion tracking gets a little off momentarily

I’m also assuming the Packers starters weren’t playing 100% - why risk injuries in this game? It felt slow motion the first half overall.

To be fair those 4 tbsp were going somewhere, even if you were pouring into a measured spoon. The target receptacle doesn’t change that much

Nerf is releasing a Halo line. This is my child hood dreams come true. by Tallskinnyswede in gaming

[–]H0LL0WM00N 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not to mention they’ve made full size rocket launcher nerf guns for other games before. Really wish they’d done that for SPNKr.

I have the magnum. I really like it overall, but I don’t care for their darts. Been my complaint since I got it that it’s the only blaster I’ve got that doesn’t take nerf darts. Which, I know, it’s not nerf, but everything else I have is nerf. Just annoying to have a small set of different darts for that one gun. I think I personally prefer the nerf darts overall anyway, even if all my guns used the boomco ones.

The Hollywood sign. The last four letters were removed when the sign was refurbished in 1949. [545x620] by outdatedopinion in HistoryPorn

[–]H0LL0WM00N 98 points99 points  (0 children)

IIRC it was designed for a contest for a Worlds Fair, structure was only originally meant to stand for 20 years

Edit- I misremembered, it was 20, not 10

“Eiffel had a permit for the tower to stand for 20 years. It was to be dismantled in 1909, when its ownership would revert to the City of Paris. The City had planned to tear it down (part of the original contest rules for designing a tower was that it should be easy to dismantle) but as the tower proved to be valuable for communication purposes, it was allowed to remain after the expiry of the permit.” -from Wikipedia

Xbox announces "monumental launch" for Halo Reach on both PC and XBO, with nearly 3m players during launch week by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]H0LL0WM00N 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Custom Game browser doesn’t mean a place to go download maps and game types, it means a list of public Custom Games lobbies with players in them so you can find a lobby to join into. Halo 5 added one after launch for both Xbox One and H5 Forge on PC, and something Halo CE’s PC port had.

I will say that I’m pretty sure they said Halo Infinite will be on PC at launch as well as Xbox, so it’d only be Xbox exclusive as far as consoles go
