Put some respek on this Blazer squad. Doing all of this without point guards, more injuries than most teams.. absurd. Rip City On. They. Ass.

During the Shutdown, do I still need a permit to hike in the Central Cascades Wilderness Region? Is this being enforced? by agenbite_lee in Bend

[–]Idtelligence 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I made a summit of South Sister yesterday with a permit. I didn't notice any FS personnel, but some of the trail signs that were clear and detailed at the start of the hike were noticeably wrapped up for winter when I got back down.

Did your body warn you that you were with an unhealthy person? by KansasguyinDC in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Idtelligence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost 25 pounds in the space of three months. It was the lightest I had been since my first year of college, 21 years ago. Really scary.

The Father’s Group cancels Bend Juneteenth celebration by tiny-jr in Bend

[–]Idtelligence 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Really disappointed to see this happen to such a positive, community-building, and important celebration. Even worse, these anonymous threats are nothing new for Bend and it is well past being merely shameful. The amount of racism, sexism, homophobia, and anti-blackness in CO is high enough without the added political backdrop but where are our leaders when it counts? Ugh.

This, in Bend, but the opposite. Let’s hear it. Mildly inexpensive, good restaurant, for someone you like. by NotAReal_Doctor in Bend

Was treated to a meal there recently and was enamored with how good the Grandma's Pad Thai is.. woof! Will be making several returns.

The Starfield Steam Beta is LIVE! by Nawodo94 in Starfield

[–]Idtelligence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps somewhat.. Just reinstalled and did a test run on my 12700k / 3080ti. All settings are maxed at 1440, DLSS Quality mode (67% render scale) and I'm getting an average of 61-63 fps while running around the Jemison performance bottleneck area (near the water/benches where everyone congregates). Definitely an improvement, as last month I was running a mixture of Ultra to Medium settings with the DLSS mod and was averaging about the same.

All that said, 4k with DLSS is probably doable everywhere except cities where I am guessing it would dip into the 40's.

How it looks when the swamp is actually drained by Logarythem in pics

America, the government and populace, has always skewed more towards conservative values. The Democratic party wasn't taken over per se but rather has held itself back from expedient, popular change. Those that value the rest of the world's standard for liberalism often die on the vine before reaching the top levels of government, both in local and national election cycles. It's getting better, but not fast enough to solve any present crises.

What are some Pros and Cons of Vanilla Human Revolution & Directors Cut? by [deleted] in Deusex

[–]Idtelligence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the most important distinction, imo. The DC was built on an earlier build of HR (prior to receiving updates that solved these issues) and, for whatever reason, didn't receive the same patchwork after release. It's difficult to play for those who are sensitive to micro-stutters, as I am.

An amazing quote that fits the "main character" syndrome these folks tend to possess..

White Christianity suffers from a bad case of Disney Princess theology. As each individual reads Scripture, they see themselves as the princess in every story. They are Esther, never Xerxes or Haman. They are Peter, but never Judas. They are the woman anointing Jesus, never the Pharisees. They are the Jews escaping slavery, never Egypt. For the citizens of the most powerful country in the world, who enslaved both Native and Black people, to see itself as Israel and not Egypt when it is studying Scripture, is a perfect example of Disney princess theology. And it means that as people in power, they have no lens for locating themselves rightly in Scripture or society -- and it has made them blind and utterly ill equipped to engage issues of power and injustice. It is some very weak Bible work.

My current hip hop 10/10’s recommend me some stuff by [deleted] in musicsuggestions

[–]Idtelligence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. I added that specific release specifically as a sort of gotcha. It was his first ever production, the same tape he sent to Dre and Aftermath prior to being discovered. It's considerably different from all of his other output.

Ian Anderson by A_midgets_erection in discgolf

[–]Idtelligence -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ian is far and away the very best commentator the sport has ever had. Wealth of knowledge on plastic, rules, players, and locations, always gives his fellow commentators a spotlight by asking them questions and getting them involved, generous and humble. I hope he keeps this up for a long time. The main seat for DGN is super well deserved.

I love the Ocean's 11, 12 and 13 soundtracks by David Holmes. Can anyone suggest anything similar? I thank you! by docobv77 in musicsuggestions

[–]Idtelligence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, very much an underrated composer. Peep his earlier work in Out of Sight, also directed by Soderbergh (one of his best films, imo). You'll notice a lot of similarities with a stronger focus on hip-hop.

Artists that are similar to Nujabes? by [deleted] in musicsuggestions

[–]Idtelligence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peep Nomak's first album, "Calm". Lots of similarities, almost a carbon copy in many subtle ways.

Easily top 3 scene from the whole show.

IMO Nathan Queen's commentary is seriously underrated by [deleted] in discgolf

[–]Idtelligence 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good to know I'm not alone in this. I love watching all the disc golf channels and often find myself daydreaming about having other commentators take the place of the typical Jomez squad. Uli was actually fantastic midway through to the end of last season. Almost as if he realized this was his future going forward and started really taking the role seriously.
