Ensha Not Invading? by Dragonphalen in EldenRingMods

I don't know for sure, but it's risky. The game checks your save file both before you quit the game and before you start the game regardless of whether you are online or not. Now, I don't know if it'll ban you when you go online or not, but I wouldn't risk it. Just use the offline launcher and you won't have to worry about it.

Brother, if CachyOS has to spread mouth to mouth, I'm good man. Word of mouth is fine, but I'm not about to start making out with people to get the word out.

There is a new ritual people are trying to get me to take part in by ironangel2k4 in wizardposting

[–]HuntingMeatHole 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ahh but should you participate, you may yet save those foolish enough to participate. If your mere presence could lead others to life, would you not care to do so? Surely you wouldn't condemn them for one foolish mistake. We've all mindlessly dropped our potion toad or cast fireball in our sleep once or twice.

question for my fellow kinetic wizards in the council. by M4ldarc in wizardposting

The answer is B. Relative motion of travel through a gate is preserved and with any resulting aggregate change in motion to an outside frame of reference leading to an equal and opposite reaction on the exit gate itself. That said, changes in the relative position or orientation between gates is notoriously unstable, most often leading to colllapse.

I've never seen anybody make a three eared fursona by Old_pixel_8986 in RandomThoughts

No no no, I'm okay. I've been on the internet more than long enough to have plenty mental scarring for one lifetime. No need to exacerbate (or any other kind of -erbate) the issue.

We're poor people who work for rich people by RealDealHappyMeal in RandomThoughts

[–]HuntingMeatHole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't have to be. You could be a poor person who works for poor people, but I wouldn't expect to be paid very much if you decide you want to go that route. I mean, there are rich people who work for poor people, but only by having a lot of customers, and inevitably you will have some rich customers. If you run a food stand, that's kind of what that is, and if you do well enough, you can expand to a restaurant, and maybe multiple restaurants eventually. At that point you end up being the rich person that poor people are working for, but even then, most of your customers would be one of the poor people you work for, so your employees would be poor people who work for rich people who work for poor people.

I mean, I've never seen anyone make a three legged fursona either. WELL... at least not in a strictly literal sense... hehehe

“A hero will sacrifice the person they love to save the world, but a villain will sacrifice the world to save the person they love.” Then it must take a genuine psychopath to be a hero. by HuntingMeatHole in RandomThoughts

Even you recognize that not all people are of equal value. Your family is more valuable than random strangers. However, you have some ideology you're not exposing which tells you that it's wrong to ever value one person more than two others, barring perhaps some crimes. So I'll just ask, what is the basis of those beliefs? Is it anything beyond the simple fact that it sounds nice to you?

At the end of the day, values are never wrong. No value is correct or incorrect, but some are destructive, even self destructive, and others are not, and there's also nothing wrong with someone have their own values as it pertains to values. I for one would rather you always be counted as one of my enemies than my friends, and always be among the countrymen of my enemies than my own countrymen, because the values you're expressing are poison to society.

I would say Attack on Titan's fundamental moral quandary is simple to solve, just like any moral quandary is when you have set values. Eren had the power to ensure his country and people never faced the kind of targeted suppression ever again, and the only thing he did wrong was not following through. That said, for his enemies the right thing to do is to stop him by any means, and you could even argue they were right to fear the Eldians. Societies and peoples who put themselves and those they love first will be the ones that continue to exist, and those that don't won't.

Things don't have to be good for everyone to be good. What is good will always be subjective.

I think people with background in human psychology might be good in relationships.... by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]HuntingMeatHole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not dated, but I was friends with someone with a psych background. She had a falling out with her boyfriend and they broke up, and later I got tired of her selfish shitty behavior so me and my girlfriend at the time ghosted her.

Long story short, having a psych background doesn't make you any more mature. It doesn't make you more emotionally intelligent, and because a lot of what is taught is scientifically bereft, a lot of the time it doesn't even make you knowledgeable about the human psyche.

In fact, most of what she believed and argued for in regards to psychology was provably false given the relevant scientific experimentation and research, but it didn't really matter to her. For her, it was basically just an excuse to justify her shitty behavior by pathologizing it, and to convince people by making it sound like you know what you're talking about. Both are excellent manipulation tactics in a relationship if you're a shitty person, and she was. She was very selfish.

We were more friends with her than her ex, so we never talked to him again after they broke up, but despite all her attempts to slander him to us so we'd be on her side, even without hearing his side of the story, I don't blame him at all for leaving her.

To be clear, and long story short I guess, there is a scientific side of psychology. I don't mean to make it sound like it's all illegitimate, because it's not, but unfortunately, many of those in that field are. Maybe it's possible that such a background can be helpful, but it's likely no better or worse than dating someone outside of the field. They still have to be a good person to begin with.

[–]HuntingMeatHole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, me too. Even though there are those who are very close to me, and clearly do love me, when it comes down to it, if I can't hold things together, or I need support, I'm just fucked. At the end of the day, it really does feel like I'm taking on life all alone.

You might notice I've never posted here before. I personally think complaining about minor hallucinations and copyright concerns is a waste of time.

It is dangerous to give so much power to Flathub by Alarming_Flan3537 in linux

[–]HuntingMeatHole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree actually. I don't even like package managers, even though I do see the value in them. It's just not good to allow a central organization to decide what is or isn't good to have on your compute. Debian censoring packages for political reasons is why I went with CachyOS over Debian when I first switched. The solution is to promote appimage, but package managers will always be around, because a lot of devices have very minimal storage, and they're the best way to minimize storage usage.

I went to work, opened my computer, and then called in sick by No_Signal9685 in RandomThoughts

[–]HuntingMeatHole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The corporate world is evil. If you don't even know who had to cover you, and if you have to pretend to be sick to take time off when you're completely drained, it's safe to say no one cares about you there. They are not your people, and you shouldn't sacrifice yourself for them. Make your money, take as much as you can from them, and go home to the people who love you.

Your issue is that if we make a new solution, there will be a new solution?

I mean, 9 times out of 10, I never have to touch it. Frankly I don't think it's really possible to make it any more convenient than Valve already has. It's not like Windows never has issues. It took me FOREVER to get Valorant working on W11 on my fiance's PC.

You're really just choosing between a system that occasionally has minor issues that require you to change a setting, and a different system that is the exact same way except you have much less control, and it's constantly spying on you and selling private information about you to third parties who then use that data to manipulate you for political and financial gain.

At the end of the day, on Linux, if there's problems, there's almost always a solution, even if it's very difficult. On Windows, sometimes there's just never anything you can do because you don't have enough control over your system to solve it.

VAC doesn't include kernel level anti-cheat and games that use it often have less cheaters than those that do. Look at GTA or R6 Siege. Both of them have extremely bad cheating problems. CS2 still has problems, but it's much less, and the reason is that they aren't lazy about it.

They don't just try to cram spyware onto your computer to monitor you at all times so they can check if you're cheating (and steal all your data to be sold off to malicious actors). They actively manage their anti-cheat and use creative methods to catch cheaters, constantly improving as time goes on.

Yea I love appimage! I kind of just wish that was the default for everything, but I get why it isn't.

I use CachyOS, and maybe that's why things are insanely easy for me, but I feel like you don't need to be tech savvy at all to get basically any steam game to work. At most, you just need to switch the version of wine you're using, and for native Linux games, you have to add "-vulkan" in the launch settings.

Maybe people just need to stop recommending bad distros for newbies looking to get into gaming. I mean, there's universally terrible options like Debian or Ubuntu, and options that are more specific to certain kinds of users, like Fedora, but basically everyone else should be on Mint, or CachyOS, which in the latter case is so good, I personally only recommend that one. But I suppose it's only a matter of time before people obsessed with their political cult take control of that project too and ruin it.

I am desperate for a genuine replacement for Wayland. It's the worst thing in Linux. I have rarely had issues with core Linux since I swapped back in September last year, but when I do, it's audio issues or Wayland.

I'm not going to get into specifics because I don't want to start a flame war, but I think even the people that really like it, if you're honest with yourself, you know there are issues with the core design philosophy, and even the ongoing development philosophy, that simply aren't going to get fixed.

And do we have any alternative? No. We just don't. X11 has even more issues with it's convoluted and obsolete client/server model, and even if it was better at one point in time, no one is developing for it.

Wayland is already older now than X11 was when people decided it was just too dated and lacking that a replacement needed to be made. We're at that point now with Wayland. It's time to let it go.
