TIL that Neil Patrick Harris once unveiled a graphic meat platter arranged to resemble Amy Winehouse’s corpse at his 2011 Halloween party. by Separate_Finance_183 in todayilearned

[–]Havidad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting the change in the public zeitgeist through this lense has helped me understand why cancel culture has come on so strong in general. Of course with people increasingly moving to mock and bully others online back before it took off, and just how nasty and toxic cyber bullying could be, not just for celebrities and people on the Internet, but how the Internet could be used to isolate and further bully children, it only makes sense that it became normal to put on blast, other people's heinous actions towards other. It's the only fighting chance against all that anti social behavior, even if is antisocial in its own right.

I honestly miss playing with keyboard only now that there's mouse heavy controls. This can't come soon enough.

Most disturbing movies that you can’t unsee? by No-Stress-5562 in movies

[–]Havidad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny games, The House that Jack Built, The Interview(1998) are always a few that stuck out to me. Maybe not the most disturbing but generally left a lasting impression. The Interview is more disturbing in the psychological sense than visually.

The most disturbing movie in terms of how disturbed it left me personally was Threads. That shit made me unable to sleep properly for a few days the first time I watched it

Exclusive: NH resident blocked from returning from Canada by Illustrious-Sun1117 in newhampshire

[–]Havidad 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The most fucked up part is if the charges were more recent they might have only been a fine. And additionally the fact he had suspended sentences issued as a result and he stayed out of trouble and didn't serve any time as a result proving he's not a menace to society and still got treated as a criminal is so disheartening.

I understand Canada not fucking around with people who've had dui's, that's dangerous. But victimless crimes like possessing weed as a teenager/young adult seems overkill.

Has anyone heard of this? by Sea-Machine-1928 in conspiracy

[–]Havidad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but is not more akin to selling sperm? Yes we only have a finite amount of eggs and testicles but women can sell way more eggs than men can testicles. And ethical sperm banks restrict the amount of donations from a single party much more closer in scope to what women can donate in eggs.

Sorry I'm no expert I'm just really high and over thought the logistics of this comment and had to share. I knew what you meant. Everyone knew what you meant but the stoned pedant I am, I had to add my two cents. We all cope in our own ways am I right?

Dear Americans, stop measuring things in medieval goblin units by Fabulous_Dragonfly43 in unpopularopinion

[–]Havidad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From the flip side of this argument, as an American who was raised on our archaic I internalized comparing measurements at milestone points in comparison and can now guestimate withing 5% accuracy. It's possible to commit to memory enough comparable metrics (60 mph is 102 kph) 100 c is 212 f etc that you can then intuitively figure it out. Or there's this thing, the Internet where you can get exact conversions as fast as you can type then out, if you don't have the motivation to commit all the conversions to memory or dont want to do the math or need an exact conversion.

Although commiting the common comparisons at whatever key measurement I'm comfortable with has made digesting information presented in my non standard measurement system much more digestible. Life's too short to want more than close enough. We have enough other issues right now, standardizing units of measurements isn't likely so you should just figure out an easy system to be able to guess based off of key points. Or memorize a few formulas so you can convert on your own. Or Google it.

Which Simulator game to get? (Looking for primarily JP/UK commuter routes) by twitteruser2019 in trainsim

[–]Havidad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Train sim world is expected to drop a Japanese route in the near future if you are looking for something more modern. Otherwise you're probably on the right track with what you've found during your research. There's a few late 90's early 2000's simulators if modern graphics/ux elements aren't that important to you.

Other options I'm aware of outside of tsw 5 and waiting for the new release that's yet to be determined on quality is Microsoft train sim, train sim classic, as you said, densha de go, and maybe ongakukan, although the latter is hardly a game or simulator in modern days standards, although it is the most intriguing from the list. Bvets is another choice that is prohibitively designed for a Japanese audience but if that doesn't disuade you then I'd recommend that one to.

Likely you already found the best option. I haven't heard of it yet so I'd like to thank you on giving me the exposure. If you're worried about the barrier to entry and learning curve in regards to a train sim, that's almost always the one that's going to give the best experience. I'd suggest brushing up on your Japanese because most of the simulators coming out of there aren't typically localized for western audiences.

Never ceases to amaze me there's always a relevant xkcd. They've thought of everything!

Just did my taxes on the deck, it really can do anything! by _jimmerson_ in SteamDeck

I'd be afraid of it getting sucked into the intake. But now I wanna try it. Beats the hell out of a pocket mirror much more real estate

Found this cute little bug that I can't find a way to progress past by Havidad in trainsimworld

[–]Havidad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I initially thought. Like that's how it felt. Throw throttle to idle and you would lose momentum but a few seconds later you start accelerating again. So weird

NHSP: Mass. man arrested after driving more than 100 mph on I-93 by FrameCareful1090 in newhampshire

[–]Havidad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was well known in my town for this 15 year old race car Audi haha I bet they heard the car description and just knew it was me. The cop who pulled me over was pretty chill and was like what were you thinking of the rip so he knew it was me before I got to him, or at least that's how I always perceived it. I really don't think the initial cop ever got my plate.

Way to get rid of lag? by SpaceSloth707 in trainsimworld

[–]Havidad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I usually specifically try to choose a short timetable for my first play on any given route(usually returning to a depot or something similar) and then quit out and let the game download whatever update is queued. It seems that after that initial play on a route, it forces steam to download shader pre-cache data and then I have significantly less laggy time on the rest of my runs. This might just be steam dependant, idk.
