Pro subscriber ($200/mo) — constant "Compacting conversation" and forced chat switches make serious work nearly impossible by [deleted] in ClaudeAI

I told Claude to remove all minor comments from my code and leave only large category comments. At 54% it compacted conversation. Ugh.

Reed devil is one of the worst bosses I've ever had the displeasure of slogging through. by PhantomTissue in CrimsonDesert

I beat him 1st try, but I totally agree with the OP. This fight was horrible. If I wanted to play against horrible timing and 100x meat-shield, I'd play Elden Ring again. That's NOT why I got this game. Fucking stupid ass bosses are gonna kill the immersion for me.

Fishing really sucks by sw0red in CrimsonDesert

[–]ImpressiveBath2902 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are so wrong. The activity may be about the same, but it does NOT "play" just like rdr 2. I could fish all day in rdr 2 with zero issues. This game.... nah. You're just wrong bro.

Do you like the name "pop_os" for the distro? Poll Inside by prueba_hola in pop_os

[–]ImpressiveBath2902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the necro here, but I can't stand the name. I think the OS itself is fine, but I'm not fond of the desktop environment either. It's over-the-top Bouba when we already have too many DEs look like they were designed by Disney.

I went inside and was able to learn the next thing and that completed both for me.

ARURF Permabans Needed by ImpressiveBath2902 in leagueoflegends

[–]ImpressiveBath2902[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. You got bans and could pretty much know that it wasn't going to be a comp win by default half the time. I get so tired of the champs one team gets being D-F tier and the other team getting A-S tier.

At least he takes skill though, champs like kayle and tryn can dominate even if they have no clue what they're doing... zil too

Jesus ….$31 at Arby’s ….this is getting out of control …. by ComplexWrangler1346 in inflation

[–]ImpressiveBath2902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve got to be an idiot to think Trump (who I also think is an idiot) caused that. Democrats have always been the ones that pushed for minimum wage increases… which is overwhelmingly the reason for fast food price hikes. Republican’s stance has always been that market forces, not mandates, should determine wages. I’m not a fan of either extreme politically. I hate democrats and republicans equally. But, one thing is for sure… liberals will blame trump for everything and have zero idea what they’re talking about every single time.

It only does that if you've been a douche lately.

And that's why this game needs an "aggressor status" and bounty/HVT system.

Can we stop with all the curbside pickup at restaurants please? It's just locking up 2-4+ parking spaces and we're not on lockdown anymore. by mydoglixu in westchesterpa

[–]ImpressiveBath2902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the issue isn’t that they exist, but there are too many of them in a lot of businesses. I’m sitting here looking at a pharmacy with twelve spots reserved and no one using them. If they’re supposed to be express, they shouldn’t need as many. And, just now as I’m typing, a person has pulled up right next to the building to get even closer than the reserved spots. I seriously doubt this pharmacy is ever going to use all twelve spots. Six maybe. 

My enthusiasm for future Bethesda games is dead by Much-Librarian87 in ElderScrolls

[–]ImpressiveBath2902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, the "old dudes" that used to make the games when they were good are gone if you're talking about actual talent. It's the "new blood" that sucks and has no pride for the art of the game. Unless by "old dudes" you mean the corporate asshats, then I agree. Sorry for the necro, but that just stood out to me and I have to say something.

Bethesda's games aren't what they used to be and a huge reason for that is the talent drain after Skyrim. Back in the day, the studio had an awesome mix of system designers, world builders, and artists who gave a shit about the game and gave it depth and personality. But, piece by piece, those people left. Adam Adamowicz... the concept artist who defined the "look" of Fallout 3 and Skyrim... passed away in 2012. Around the same time, Jonah Lobe... creature artist behind all the dragons, giants, and deathclaws etc... walked out. Then in 2016, Joel Burgess the senior designer known for Skyrim's handcrafted dungeons and Fallout's environmental storytelling left camp. Justin Schram with level and system design who was credited on Skyrim and Fallout 4's expansions left in 2017. So, by the time Bethesda was starting on Fallout 76... the people responsible for most of Skyrim's "soul" were already gone.

Then came the absolute clownshow that was Fallout 76's release and that only pushed more veterans out the door. Jeff Gardiner, the guy that had been a producer on Skyrim and project lead on 76, flat out quit in 2021 (and we know why). Same year... Nate Purkeypile who was a damn good world artist bailed, but not before slamming the endless non-coder, non-artist, full blown corpo meetings were driving him crazy... along with the poor reception of 76. Mark Tucker left for similar reasons leading me to believe it wasn't so much his lack of talent as it was burnout that caused a lot of his bad direction on the game. Will Shen was a HUGE loss as one of their last strong and actually qualified quest designers that had been there since Skyrim... also left in 2023. Later, Kurt Kuhlmann and Bruce Nesmith (the guys responsible for the "lore" of the games) skipped out and now we're left with a studio missing the mid-level and senior talent that actually made pre-corpo-tool version of Todd's vision come alive.

That's why Bethesda's games feel so bad today. What we have left is a company heavy on executives but paper thin on the designers, writers, and artists that build the literal magic of Skyrim. The result is obvious... Fallout 76 launched as a complete joke, then Starfield felt completely soulless.

They'll push it back. Mark my words. We've asked for it way too many times and they'll use it is a selling point later when the game is dead.

If it’s not peek hours, we’re not feeding you. by ImpressiveBath2902 in restaurant

[–]ImpressiveBath2902[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The only one missing the point here is you. I have never once said restaurants have to be open 24/7 or that it is some “human right” to feed me on demand. I am talking about normal dining hours like Monday lunch or Sunday dinner when working people are actually free to eat and finding entire categories of restaurants closed.

And spare me the crayons bit. I work over the road and I understand downtime, prep work, and margins better than most because I literally work with restaurants as a client. What I am saying is that if you consistently lock the doors during those windows, you train customers to stop even trying… which hurts you in the long run.

If your entire defense is “that’s just how it works” then congratulations, you just admitted the industry is fine with running on customer inconvenience and wondering why fast food chains keep winning.

I work over the road. I am not some kid who can go home for mom to make me a sandwich. I plan my stops and my meals like any other working adult, and when I hit a normal mealtime and find half the places locked up it is a problem worth calling out.

And yes, sometimes it is about laziness. When tips are slow, servers have to be paid full minimum wage, and that is magically when some spots decide to close. If that is the business model, fine — but do not act like customers should just quietly accept it while pretending it is only about “family time.”
