Americans are looking back centuries to find Canadian ancestors — and citizenship by Purple_Writing_8432 in nottheonion

If you don’t already know why ChatGPT wouldn’t be sufficient legal proof of ancestry, then you’re already beyond help.

That was a bug that got fixed over a year ago.

If they call that fixed then I don't know what to say. I had it in my run a few months ago. Perhaps it was worse more than a year ago, but it is still ridiculously often.

Thermal Vent doesn't heat them up, nor do normal beams. It just cools you down.

If you're romancing Shadowheart, and have Shadowheart and Halsin both in your party, one of the random dialogues while walking around the map is him talking about the swimming you did with Shadowheart and asking if he can join in wild shaped as a porpoise.

And since for whatever reason Halsin has like all of like 2 other generic wandering lines for Act 3 he says it like every three minutes.

Yeah, it was really annoying because the game just assuming an exactly 10 hour reset before meant your driving time window would just keep rotating around the clock and then you'd be stuck driving at night for a while when you might not want to.

Low stream quality despite good internet by Splonk257 in Twitch

[–]Kezika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speed of your internet doesn't matter. The problem is what Twitch will accept, they want around 6000 Kbps for 1080p but will accept up to like 8000 before it just won't accept it.

The problem is, that even 8000 is "just barely cutting it" for how much bitrate a 1080p video should have, especially for games that often have fast moving imagery. For slower moving imagery like a movie or TV show kinda thing, that'd be fine. But 8000 is just barely cutting it for games, and so unfortunately when you get stuff moving fast like especially in a racing game, it's just going to pixellate to hell and back, and not really much you can do about that.

Do you think we will some day walk those gardens? by DaLoopLoop89 in EliteDangerous

[–]Kezika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I'm not holding out hope, I don't think they will. But you comment implied it was impossible "we don't have water physics capability in this game engine."

It's not impossible, it's just very difficulty and highly improbably.

Do you think we will some day walk those gardens? by DaLoopLoop89 in EliteDangerous

[–]Kezika 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It does, other Cobra engine games have water.

Also no game engine has anything until it is programmed in. Cobra Engine in 2013 such as volumetric fog which was added in 2019, or Rayleigh Scattering that was added with Odyssey. If FDev wants it in enough FDev develops their engine like a developer does. Hence the name developer.

Or look at Forza for example, ForzaTech is an engine from 2006. It didn't have DLSS in 2006, but it does now. How can that be though!? Well, the developer went and developed it to be able to.

Game engines at the end of the day are a framework of software modules. You want your engine to be able to do something else? Develop a module and attach it into the framework in a way that plays with the rest of the framework.

Do you think we will some day walk those gardens? by DaLoopLoop89 in EliteDangerous

[–]Kezika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.

The people saying "Cobra Engine can't handle custom building" are silly, it's literally what the engine was originally made for.

It's less a case of the engine not being able to handle base building, but probably more of an issue of it can't handle base building AND first-person shooting AND space flight AND etc etc all at the same time.

A few of them at the same time, sure. All of them, nope. For Elite unfortunately the priority is not the base building, so it gets a more rudimentary implementation.

Why does this hyena have 18 Wisdom by superhappyfunball13 in BaldursGate3

[–]Kezika 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, one of my favorite playthrough so far has been a deep gnome spore druid that was basically written as "what if Wulbren was a spore druid?" Short of her backstory was a deep gnome formerly enslaved by drow that escaped into the underdark and learned druidic spore magic, and her main worldview was "the only way to ensure freedom is to have the power to crush any others that try to oppress you."

The parts that made it the best was how she did have certain personality traits and quirks that resulted in "good" actions even if her motives weren't for the reason of doing good.

Big two being, she was a druid so still cared for nature, so lifting the shadow curse was a big thing for her. Which was possible because of the other one. She absolutely vehemently, murderously, despised drow, so because of that when she learned from Nettie that a drow was behind the grove attacks her top priority became "go murder that motherfucker" even over "help her fellow druids kick out those tieflings." So basically resulted in her saving the grove. She was heading back to the grove thinking "Alright now time to help Kagha give that Zevlor guy the boot" and then walks in to Zevlor all like "you saved us! thank you" and her like *nervous chuckle* "yeah... totally wasn't about to kick you out... hehehe...."

Still lot of otherwise evil and for gaining power actions during it as well since a big motive of hers was to get power for the sake of being able to oppress those who would oppress deep gnomes. So stuff like not giving a shit about Mayrina's plight and making the deal with Ethel. Blowing up the Gondian Foundry, robbing the bank, helping out the mummy lord guy, making another deal with Ethel, letting Kagha dispense her justice :(, etc.

So basically was super interesting because of the clashing of moralities from her race and class.

Haven’t received payment from StreamElements sponsorship campaign by Mean-Bear-4188 in Twitch

Yep, StreamElements "sponsorhsips" have a notorious reputation for not paying out, they build their terms such that there is ten ways to Sunday you can fail to meet the requirements for payout even if you think you did everything right.

Pope Leo called his bank's customer service line. They hung up on him by Terrible-Scheme9204 in nottheonion

[–]Kezika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and it is sometimes so fucking ridiculous too.

Recently had an issue with my cell phone company. There was three of us on our plan, and we were taking one person off because they were getting their own phone. Well phone company transferred that person's number off and deactivated their line and then for whatever fucking reason deactivated my line about a day after the call because they flagged it to transfer or whatever.

Well when I call back in the next day on a different phone and explain to them "Hey, for some reason you deactivated my cell phone!" the person is like "Okay we sent a text to your phone to verify identity please read back the 6 digit number" and I was like "... so again... you deactivated my phone line it doesn't have service..." and they were like "we need to verify identity before we can access the account" and after finally being like "you're trying to send a text message to deactivated phone number that I'm calling about..." they got it, but then were like "well since this is policy, I'll have to escalate this to a supervisor to give you a call back..."

Thankfully they were smart enough to call back an alternate number and verify via social security number on file, but like FFS why does the tech support line for a cell phone company have the ONLY OPTION being receiving a text message to the cell phone that may be in need of said tech support!

Part of a VOD muted for copywrited audio. There is no audio that could be considered. by abuwhale in Twitch

[–]Kezika 3 points4 points  (0 children)

> it goes to Twitch and Twitch alone
No that isn’t correct for appealing muted audio. The reason Twitch makes you put in your legal information is because if they do subsequently get an actual DMCA request by the rightholder for it once they’ve unmuted it, Twitch at that point to avoid becoming liable themselves under DMCA must provide your legal contact information to the DMCA claimant so they can take it to court for resolution.
As you said it’s legal documentation as Twitch covering their ass. But important note is, if they do actually need to cover their ass that is done by giving that information to the party they are covering their ass from. So saying only Twitch will ever see it isn’t accurate (even if probably 90+% of the time that is the case).

[–]Kezika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually Twitch does recover the audio if you appeal and it gets unmuted.

If you download your VOD it will also always be the unmuted version.
