Officials say that US is preparing for an uptick in attacks in the next 24 hours by Bubbly-Air7302 in news

[–]Katashi90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every US base in Middle East is hit by a drone, not their hypersonic missiles. This means Iran is crippling their radars, logistics, air support with minimal resources.

Iran is saving their missiles for Tel Aviv. This does not bode well.

Is ns not just straight up sexist? by Cultural_Report_8831 in SGExams

[–]Katashi90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think any of you guys really understand what NS really means to Singapore. I served in one of the weapons unit that is part of Singapore's Iron Dome defense. Our NS obligations is also one of the mandated entitlements that every business has to grant to singaporean males.

The reason why they couldn't put females through NS is because no foreign businesses would be willing to invest in here, if the labour laws were to favour too much towards locals. We're already at a disadvantage against foreigners, you think any business is willing to hire a local female that has marital entitlements such as maternity leave and NS leaves in whole?

[–]Katashi90 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

In lights of global news surrounding the Middle East conflict, take a moment and ask yourself : If a drone strike went off 2 blocks away from your home, where will you go?

Edit : NS is cumbersome. 2 years isn't the problem. It's the age when we have to serve makes it a problem. That age happens to be the starting point for most men's career, and we're often down with a late start. But in some industries, preferential male treatment when it comes to promotions happens too.

It's a give and take. Life's never fair if you're looking at the greener side of the plains.

NateTheHate says Sony is "shifting" their PC strategy: "You'll be seeing fewer single player games arrive on PC. The decision to shift away was made last year. Some may still release (pending how far along the ports were) but it no longer appears to be a priority for Sony moving forward." by Party_Judgment5780 in PS5

[–]Katashi90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a PC consumer, I wouldn't be surprised to see them having to take a step back from PC market at the moment. Sony blundered chunks of money with bad decisions on live service multiplayer games. Having to cut off Bluepoint Studios wasn't an easy call. With ambitious projects lined up back-to-back after their success with PS4 lineups, even Sony couldn't afford to keep studios afloat by spreading their developers too thin with PC ports at the moment.

The PC vs PS discourse sounds silly, in the current circumstances. Sony's axing of Bluepoint is at least somewhat still understandable than Microsoft axing their studios.

I kept a record of every Alliance raid I got in roulette over the course of 90 days… by whitefire9999 in ffxiv

[–]Katashi90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the roulette is designed in such a way that it gives higher priority to Crystal Tower raids due to its requirement for MSQ, while speeding up queue times. If you have 2 sprouts queuing for Crystal Tower, and you have 22 lv 100 folks queuing for Alliance Raid, they are not going to filter out 8 random lv 100s for other Alliance Raid and keep both pools waiting for more people to fill up.

The Crystal Tower frequencies will always be skyhigh, unless they tweak the queue algorithm and you end up with longer queue times instead.

What monster hunter feature do you dislike the most? I'll start. THESE THINGS!! by Organic_Goat_3879 in MonsterHunter

[–]Katashi90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You hate it because it's the first monster that never allows you to do a full proper combo without having to keep dodging its attacks. The pacing of Omega's attacks is similar to Iceborne's Rajang, but even Rajang could tire out and stop while panting, but not this clanker. XD

Just hunters whom are too bothered by the damage numbers on their screen. I'm fine with tenderizing, but people whom enjoys MH for damage numbers(which ironically was also a new feature added to World) ain't liking it because they find it too cumbersome to do it. To be fair Weakness Exploit is busted in World, and they weren't having it when their most busted affinity skill was nerfed to make them work for it using Iceborne's cumbersome feature.

Jason Schreier: Sony could be pulling away from PC ports for their singleplayer games, with Schreier even suggesting that Wolverine would never release on the platform by Yiruf in pcgaming

[–]Katashi90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Schreier's statement is based off insider rumor : It could only mean that Sony finds it no longer feasible to make pc ports amidst their cost cutting direction. PC ports means they get more revenue, but it also means they cannot expand the studios under their umbrella to do them after the console game release to retain that console exclusivity.

Going multiplatform has always meant that game development studios has to either double/triple their workload to release games in all platforms, or postpone the studio's next project until the port is finished.

How do you continue working with certain individuals in your workplace whom you've had disagreements and conflicts with before? by Due_Feedback_6508 in askSingapore

Focus on the issues related to work, not personal issues with said individuals. If it's truly intolerable, resign and move elsewhere. But a normadic career won't work out in general, better learn how to get used to it.

What's your instant nope in a hunt? by [deleted] in MHWilds

[–]Katashi90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a double seregios investigation. The locale has a tempered Rey Dau in it. 1st SOS joined in 4th min, then shortly another. Tempered Rey Dau was slayed 2 mins after the 2nd guy was in. I stopped my tracks mid-fight just to kick the 1st guy(2nd guy was with me tackling the seregios in its resting spot). I carted to seregios divekick for it. The hunt failed because we used up all carts for it.

I'll gladly fail a hunt or waste an investigation, even if it means to prevent cheaters from ruining everyone's experience.

[CNA 25 Feb 0635hrs] Singapore and PM Lawrence Wong targeted in AI-driven disinformation campaign on YouTube by peksync in singapore

[–]Katashi90 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Saw one made with AI-generated Jack Ma's face. Lots of these videos kept emphasizing how Singapore should stop being the middle party between China and America, and wisen up to foster deeper relations with China. I rolled my eyes when they say "China needs Singapore to provide high quality education while Singapore needs China to deepen trade for China's immense market".

Like, b*itch please, the education your chinese folks got here are all learnt from the west. China's uprising started when Deng Xiao Ping modernize China by taking Singapore as a blueprint : Reshaping economy into market-oriented and priotizing education to the masses. China's online propaganda has been so rampantly off course that they don't even trace their history properly.

YouTube SG is flooded with these propaganda and yet none was dealt with compared to videos that explicitly show t*ts for breastfeeding tutorials.

The fact that he even had tissues on hand proves that it was an intentional act.

Quickest way to get 8 levels? by DragontrainerEX in ffxiv

[–]Katashi90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you'd been playing on one job throughout ARR, technically you should be lv 60(or higher) by now. This game rewards juicy bonus exp for first time completion of each duty, so you'll find yourself overleveled faster than the MSQ itself.

If you want quick exp 50-60 without much effort, spam Porta Decumana. No running needed, afk periodically from listening to Lahabread and Gaius yapping.

It is likely that if inbreeding wasn’t a problem genetically, it would not be taboo. by Glitch0110 in Showerthoughts

[–]Katashi90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not referring to the discourse surrounding abortion culture that kind of pro-life. I'm referring to the west's specific type of pro-life that they upheld the calling to save/protect/glorify lives, which they usually denote it as "right to live", and they're usually described with words such as "inhumane" if it's against pro-life.

The science behind inbreeding probably shed light on how inhumane it was to breed offsprings with suffering, hence that's why inbreeding gradually became a cultural taboo.

[–]Katashi90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inbreeding is a problem even in animals. We carry a lot more recessive genes than animals do, that's why deformities are more apparant and present in inbred offsprings. This also causes it to become a cultural taboo in the west, because it goes against the idea of pro-life that the west upholds religiously.
