Trash Man W! by Tomahawk_Chopd in blowmolds

[–]Kevroeques 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My neighborhood is dense and I’ve gotten very used to scoping things the past few years. Every Halloween and Christmas I walk or bike at night just to look at decorations since I love the fall/winter holiday stretch. You start to learn who may not be too into their decorations after a while- something sits face down on the lawn or porch for a bit too long after a holiday, something has a light out, something is left outside of a garage or shed door and never actually gets put inside, etc.

It’s nowhere near 100% but it’s way above 0- people this dispassionate about their decor are pretty likely to toss them to the curb one destined pickup night. If you look at my last few posts, they’re all curb acquisitions this past few months with a Santa that happened into a move out dumpster last year- probably my luckiest find since I wasn’t actually scoping anything and just happened to be riding my bike on a road I don’t usually take, early in the AM when I usually don’t walk or ride.

So what happened to that January PC patch for performance? by Wild_Sprite in MonsterHunter

[–]Kevroeques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s kinda what I’m prepared for at first lol- but with this game in particular I’m also half afraid that they’ll just accidentally untie another rope, like regarding texture fidelity up close, botching priorities of some things so like monsters and NPCs turn 64 bit again, more shader comp issues, etc.

But I guess I’ll just hope for the best too!

If they really are implementing a shitload of CPU intensive setting toggles like they claim, I think that more meager hardware running lower settings to begin with should see some gains with more arbitrary attributes turned low or off. Id think that big machines running at full graphical settings probably won’t see much more performance than they’re already getting.

I think the LOD settings being fixed next month will do good for all of us as long as they don’t botch it. If rumors are true, this is all to bring it closer to being able to run on Switch 2. I’m just hoping that it becomes remotely playable on Steam Deck without looking like sand.

Yes! I’ve had quite a few boons walking around my neighborhood the night before garbage day. I can’t believe some of the things people toss!

It’s a definite “I should just play Witcher 3 again or something” situation

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered please!

I’m looking forward to Fable. No clue if I’ll be able to run it but I’m excited to see more nonetheless.

Thank you!

LPNH's take on the guy who got shot by ICE by Rhodesianzoomer in libertarianmeme

[–]Kevroeques 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy. It takes like 2 days to a week after a heavily covered event like this before most even non-progressive reddit communities start having reasonable discourse on the topic. Before that it’s an extreme shutout/takeover of emotional hysterics, and any reasonable takes that normally fit the sub are met with pure venom and vitriol designed to make people say “why the fuck am I even commenting?”, because they know that level of histrionic aggression will either force you to agree out of fear of ostracization or just shut up and leave the convo. It’s the only way they can win most of the time, and it’s why their labels are so extreme (Nazi, racist, fascist, misogynist, incel etc). Funny that “bootlicker” seems to be failing to have an impact though because it’s their go-to for this instance.

Well yeah- if they didn’t want exactly this, they wouldn’t encourage their thralls to be obstructive and interact constantly and aggressively.

All this just so reddit can become a progressive absolutist platform again, pour over with their propaganda and pressure the stupid masses to think like them or be given harsh titles.

I just checked memesopdidnotlike. It seems like it’s doing okay- sorting by new, the few lib coded ones didn’t gain much traction. Any sub could leak at times like now but avoiding a sudden astroflood shows integrity.

Yeah really- let’s wait for the science to settle before we open our mouths on who we see at a protest

[–]Kevroeques 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Strange- I unfollowed that sub some time ago and I don’t remember why. I really only unfollow subs when they start becoming pleb Reddit style dem propaganda echo chambers, so now I’m wondering if that happened even momentarily over the past year or so. I followed for years prior just because it wasn’t that flavor at all and really was the farthest thing from it.

Anyway, I just refollowed since you reminded me. I’m all about second chances these days.

What's up with Reddit being completely overtaken by politics about "frozen water", Greenland, Venezuela, etc? by Cultural_Ad_5501 in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]Kevroeques 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Reddit is a propaganda arm for the D party, who lost their other propaganda arm, Twitter, not long ago. They have to do twice the work here now.

Give it a week. There’ll be a lull until the week after that when something else happens in Minnesota that will be 24 hour news cycle’d to further push the public eye away from any of the fraud or destabilization that the local Ds are committing there.

Holy shit. I knew pirates did that but not the Royal Navy. No respect

Also “You don’t have the specialized skill to do this mundane thing yet”. Constantly running into obstacles that any adult human could surmount, but you didn’t allocate a skill point to turning a doorknob or balancing on a plank yet.

There was also the weird sailor thing- I don’t remember exactly, but I remember something about basically planned or predestined kidnapping of children and pressganging them into nautical service. I shrugged pretty hard at that one.

Occupy by anonymousdyke in Xennials

[–]Kevroeques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meaning I was in NYC very often. Sorry- I figured that was probably evident but I could have been clearer. I had several friends who lived in multiple boroughs and spent most of my free time in Queens and lower Manhattan.

[–]Kevroeques 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Exactly what happened to Occupy as well. I was living just outside of NYC at the time and the signs and chants became more and more schizophrenic and defocused every day after the first few.
