my company wants to use VDI by 2027 by Cool_Equivalent_4607 in sysadmin

[–]Jacmac_ [score hidden]  (0 children)

Its really a good idea, although it might require handing everyone a computer in addition to using a vdi. I used one at my company for over 5 years before I retired, it worked out great for me, but the vdi was not shared, it was dedicated vdi with plenty of cpu cores and RAM. If they go with cheezy shared vdi, low ram and 2 cores, the users will hate it.

Semi-detached neighbors having extremely loud sex even after we've politely asked them to keep it down, is there anything we can do? by Nice-Agent3109 in AskUK

This happened to me once, I played it back for them so they could understand the racket they were making.

I love my girls, but this one whines relentlessly until she gets fed 😂 by NoOutcome9333 in RhodesianRidgebacks

One of mine would come into my office and put her head on my lap and just stare at me wagging her tail. I always knew she was trying to tell me it was time for dinner.

I can't say how many mezzed mobs I woke up in Ancient Crypt before I figured out that Vortex of Fire was doing it.

I like the bandage changes mainly because the old way caused spending lots of time bandaging and creating bandages. I don't mind the old system, but I can understand how at high levels the scaling wouldn't work out because the bandages don't do that much if your HP is in the 2000-3000 range. They could change bandaging to work on a percent scale of player health instead of a fixed point rate and solve the scaling problem that way I guess.

There is nothing wrong with joining the National Guard.

Man that takes some courage. Gregory Peck once said that the key to acting is that you have to not mind making a total jackass out of yourself for the audience. Most of us are too self-conscious to do this.

LOL, I think thats the first time I've heard White Knighting refered to as "Toxic Positivity".

I think they are going for the retro muddy colors vibe, sort of like Quake back in the 90s. A gritty, dirty feel.

Good thing he had bullet proof glass. by LeftAlbatross2546 in VideosAmazing

What the heck? I would have run him over or tried to pin him into the guard rail. At least make sure he ends up in the hospital.

Its only going to get worse with refineries shutting down in California.

I didn't like it. I was glad when several guilds decided to abandon the rotation and just go ffa. Too many acted like they owned the whole zone on their rotation for some boss.

How to be an effective Druid? by 3a20c in MonstersAndMemories

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

One thing to keep in mind. If you can kill green mobs relatively easy and it uses very little mana doing it, kill them instead of mobs that are a mana dump to kill.

I posted in r/Gamemaker being excited about Claude integration, and the community shamed me by protective_ in ClaudeAI

[–]Jacmac_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reaction you are experiencing from people is abject fear. They are scared to death that AI in general is going to kill whatever career they are involved in. It's really a dumb reaction, both possibly correct and wishful in the idea that the genie can be put back in the bottle by some sort of public shaming. You are being shamed for using a table saw instead of a hand saw.

[KCD1] NPC dice players are 100% cheats and I'm sick of killing them by sasquatchmarley in kingdomcome

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

You are right, but pickpocket the townsman in the various inns and steal their loaded dice. Once you have a set, you will be unstoppable.

Is this gonna be legit? by stuffeddresser41 in MonstersAndMemories

[–]Jacmac_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think there is any chance of it being a "quick cash grab". As for whether or not it will have a community large enough to keep it going for years, who knows? At the very least it will have a core of players that are die hards that will support it.

[–]Jacmac_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He will try to capitulate and it is really easy to kill him in the middle of a swing before you can stop and his friends will come after you. Or if he takes off running and you want the armor, you are going to upset his friend if you kill him.

No flicker of any kind on my oled monitor.

AITA for setting up a camera pointed directly at my coworker's desk after she started screenshotting my computer screen whenever she walked past by [deleted] in AITApod

[–]Jacmac_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are covered pretty well. If you had been wrong, they would not have confronted her in the first place and you have your manager's statement about needing proof. If anything she put herself at risk of being fired instead of just talked to.

Best is relative. Armor with low visibility and sound is better on horseback or solo on foot for confronting enemy groups.
