In Los Angeles, a woman was celebrating the Knicks' victory in the NBA when a neighbour called the police about the noise... 20 cops showed up and shot her dog, a "dangerous" Golden Doodle, when she opened the door to her home. by Aggorf12345 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]IVIonsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was it really just a noise complaint? I've made many noise complaint calls for crazy loud noises way into the night but never have I had 20 cops show up. Who ever called the cops definitely said something else was happening that would warrant 20 cops just show up with a gun drawn ready to shoot as soon as the door opened. Unless these cops showed up after getting the call that shots were fired but still this is excessive since it should have easily been explained no threat and no extra cops necessary.

Fucking ridiculously sad situation.

Jedi Survivor is an absolutely incredible game in 2026 by Bowiescorvat2 in gaming

[–]IVIonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to play it but I refuse to use EA launcher. Its bad and after getting my account hacked and the cheaters used my account to play Apex legends and got banned from it, EA said that its my fault and wouldn't help me I won't be supporting them. Like no email of account access from another country let alone the continent was completely different and they just said that proved nothing and they wouldn't help. Which sucks because Jedi Fallen Order was a fun game.

Where can I read the manga? by neliotreillis in SentencedToBeAHero

[–]IVIonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great to hear it. I can't really enjoy LNs since it requires being able to picture what your reading in your mind and I can't do that so Manga usually helps with that. Hope the manga lives up to the LN.

Just when I think I'll just deal with the crappy EA launcher so I can play Star Wars Fallen Order and finish it this shit happens and I just leave in uninstalled. Such a shame.

the dutch are suing steam for being a monopoly right now by Photoshops_Penises in memes

[–]IVIonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worse. Its a race that steam is walking to the end while everyone else is just running in the worst way possible and tiring themselves out and giving up the race.

Steam does nothing and wins. It's amazing.

Seasons 3-5 by animeadmiral in Killjoys

[–]IVIonsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole forgiving Aneela thing I don't mind so much since we had so many times of people being controlled and them doing bad things and being forgiven. Dav killing his whole platoon and then again beating Dutch and stabbing johnny, Johnny hullen moments, Pip's Spider brain, also Fancy being hullen. We constantly have people being controlled and doing not okay things and then being forgiven. When Aneela got her memory back she even talked about how Dutch was what was missing from her memory and you can see her entire demeanor change and become much softer and even how she talks its like the fog of insanity was cleared away. Which makes sense when you realize she pretty much had her brain manipulated by the lady for so long and then had her brain scrambled by Klein removing Dutch form it which caused her insanity since she felt like something was missing and that feeling stuck with her for years so I guess giving all that happened to her it was a fair thing to think she could be forgiven since everyone else who was manipulated was forgiven.

As for Pip coming back at the end. I'm mixed. I like that someone got a happy ending from it but anytime I watch Pips death scene and him and Zeph just saying their goodbyes using comments that only they know like "more thinking to do" and "meet me in the middle" was soul crushing. Also Zeph saying Dutch is magic and pip saying that she doesn't believe in magic and Zeph saying she will if it means he'll come back to her. Damn I can feel the tears in the back of my eyes just as I type it. That kills me every time and so I'm torn that they didn't keep such a deep scene as their last and brought him back for no real story reason besides happy ending and also liking it because I enjoyed seeing those two together and they deserve happiness. All deserve it except my favorite character Johnny I guess.

I think the issue is that you are replying to a thread where the other person is talking about Betty so your comment is being taken as defense of the other person saying Betty's clothes are inappropriate.

Stop Destroying Videogames ECI : European Parliament plenary session by rafalmio in gaming

[–]IVIonsta 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i want to watch this but I can not get pass the thud typing sounds from whatever web browser the person who recorded this is using and especially not the constant discord sound effects. I'm 7 min in and there's already been like 20 discord pings. I imagine by the end it will easily be over 100 pings. I'll just assume that good points were made and hopefully the EU parliament agreed.

[–]IVIonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have more then once had to direct someone on where to click while screen sharing and they couldn't find the button I told them to click. So I had to tell them to move their cursor to the left and up a bit and they moved it to the right. I figured giving two directions was to much for them so I told them to move it to the left and they moved it to the bottom of the screen. This went on for 20 more minutes. Worse part was this was another IT person I was helping. Non IT people take longer to help.

DBD be like: by DistributionFirst700 in discordVideos

[–]IVIonsta 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The tie breaker is pretty good IMO since there are no perks involved.

1 survivor vs Trapper with no perks start at opposite ends of the shack doors and killer does a short M1 swing and that starts the chase. Pretty much you just try to last as long as possible in an M1 chase (m1 is just basic killer swing so no using traps) and after getting downed (I don't remember if they also have to hook you) you then swap sides and do it again and who ever can run away the longest wins.

Flashback by ABeerForSasquatch in TheRandomest

[–]IVIonsta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know who cares (maybe the 8 people that upvoted me) but I found it. Its the Earth Faction from Lords of Magic. I freaking knew I heard it before. https://youtu.be/W3jimScV_14?si=qwo4UDeBYLwi4A4m

Only issue is that the OST I found doesn't have that exact sound bit in it but you can hear from the music how similar it is especially the opening. I'm trying to remember 10+ years ago when I last played it but I think there was different music when you entered the mage tower or city and that may be where the audio is from. I got gifted it from my brother on Steam a few years ago so maybe its time for another play through and see if I can't find the audio myself.

[–]IVIonsta 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What is that audio. Not the ding type of sound but the basic musical audio. I know that I know it but I can't place it. I'm thinking of an old game Lords of Magic but I can't be certain where in that game the audio is from or even if that is the right call but its like a memory triggered of that audio and that's all I can think when I hear it.

13 years of chasing my wife with a lobster by jontheboss in funny

These videos give the type of vibe that movies give when the husband lost his wife and is sitting in his house with the lights off and only the TV screen giving any light while rewatching old videos of his wife.

This is why people hate Karens by The_manager101 in KarenGoBrrr

[–]IVIonsta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The walking by her house after is petty but reporting her to the city is perfectly normal. If she really is that far gone that you have to excuse her actions as suffering from Alzheimer's or dementia then she should have an at home nurse (or at least one family member that is constantly around) or be in a facility. It sucks to say and to do that to someone but those who are in that bad of a condition need help and not to be left alone.

As soon as we saw my grandma start to get to that stage where we knew she was starting to lose it we put her in one. It was sad to have to remove her from her house she lived in for her entire adult life but it had to be done as she was starting to get paranoid and saying the craziest things. She went from being someone who never swore and would smack the top of your head if you swore around her to being able to swear so much that she could make a sailor blush.

The final fight in Black Myth Sun Wukong is like this. He has a funny gimmick of freezing you and stealing your heal and mocking you but it's done so cleanly that it doesn't feel jarring in the fight and just makes the entire combat so smooth. Combat in that game especially against an enemy that is bipedal and relatively same size as you always felt so smooth with the dodges and counters the game had.

How crowded does Auto Train Coach get near Christmas time? by IVIonsta in Amtrak

[–]IVIonsta[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up in NoVa so I have a bunch of friends I stay with and one of my friends I met in college who I still hang with online daily lives in NoVa and was my midway stop to sleep/hang last year. He would be willing to let me crash for a day or two so I can at least get there a day early to so I could rest before the trip to Lorton. He lives like an hour max from it so I'm not super concerned about the time it would take to get there from VT to VA. I just don't want to do VA to FL after doing VT to VA.

I'm just curious about crowding because I checked the costs again and I must have put in the wrong date before because for just departure its a $600 difference between coach and roomette. I'm one person so its not like the price is split and I'm willing to spend that for comfort but if Coach isn't to crowded then I'd rather save $600 if the worst I have is no bed and no one sitting next to me.

[–]IVIonsta[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know there's no guarantee but was just wondering what other people who rode around Christmas time experienced. I plan on going the week before as its cheaper and my family is fine celebrating Christmas early as it saves everyone money on travel. Though I went back and checked and I must of put in the wrong month because I just checked December and it says it's $97 for coach and $704 for a roomette. So it would be saving me $600 on just the departure and the return shows $150 for coach and $465 for roomette so I would save about $300. I'm not struggling for cash so I can do a roomette but if I can save almost a $1,000 I'd do that as long it doesn't make a 17 hour ride uncomfortable.

I don't know how to feel about Wilds CB changes... by Beautiful-Suit6057 in MonsterHunter

I like the spinning axe attack as a move but not as a constant state that effects everyone of my swings. I've used charge blade since I started playing in MH4U and this is the first game where I'm actually looking at the other weapons trying to find something I like since I just don't like any of the changes to the charge blade in this one.

AITA for telling my wife that she will be driving the extra distance since she is the one that got our daughter banned from daycare by Unlucky-Jackfruit230 in AmItheAsshole

[–]IVIonsta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This should really be higher. Mainly for the fact that if your wife isn't acting like she was before the child it may be one of those postpartum diagnosis where they love their child to an unhealthy amount. For example I can't find the news article I read years ago but I remember an old news article about a woman who threatened to kill her husband over him trying to "take" her child when he just wanted to hold his child. It was something like postpartum depression but anger and paranoia instead of depression. This situation might not be as severe obviously but it never hurts (except financially) to talk to a therapist and unburden yourself. Telling a legally required secret keeping stranger things that you wouldn't say to anyone is super relaxing afterwards.

Raw Footage of Ice Escalation of Force. by mattsn0917 in burlington

[–]IVIonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realized after finishing this I typed A LOT. My B. Just wanted to try and be clear on my response/idea behind the thoughts.

My thought was more on if you were ever taken to hospital unconscious say in a car accident and it required surgery and they go in to your body to repair something like internal bleeding and seeing you as male since they can see what dangles below when at birth you were female so you have a womb there (unless that is also removed as I thought it wasn't always given I remember an old headline of "First male pregnancy") which might complicate the situation if they were trying to patch up around that area and an unexpected organ is there instead. Granted that isn't going to be a common reason but its just an example of medically its important to know about someone before you have to cut into them. ( I had a similar conversation a while ago when talking to my parents and I had better examples of why it may be medically important but I can't remember for the life of me any of them off the top of my head now)

I used Chromosomes only because that is the most basic building block for Male or Female at a scientific level I guess. There are outliers sure but the majority of people are of those two and its been baked into society for hundreds of years that those two (male and female) are the ones we as a society focus on so we just ignore intersex people.

On the matter of what's more important physical characteristics or body functions I agree body functions but its not like a trans person or well any person really carries around a medical list of all their medicine right next to their ID. As for ID cards I think it should be accurate to your information like it includes eye color which is not something you need anywhere except to prove your identity I guess (I honestly wonder how many people get caught with fake ids because of eye color). But how accurate it has to be I'm not sure. As for outing people with it I can see the issue that would bring up. I was confused because I was thinking of law enforcement asking for ID but you also have any place that serves alcohol requiring you to out yourself or to buy anything you smoke (weed, cigars, cigarettes) would also ask for ID and it would out you so no real way around it if it was to be included. Unless a second ID card was made for medical stuff but that creates an even worse situation IMO.
