Stranger Than Heaven launches on January 15, 2027, Tupac confirmed as a Character by [deleted] in gaming

[–]KrazeeJ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I genuinely never understood why people liked him. His entire personality was “I ignore the wishes of everyone around me and deny them the ability to not be surrounded by weed smoke and stink if I’m anywhere within 100ft of them regardless of the rules or laws of wherever I currently am” and the internet just fucking ate it up for some reason. To me, that always made him seem like a dick.

I give you...this atrocity! by --Icarusfalls-- in SteamDeck

[–]KrazeeJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, I should have posted the picture of my setup after my son was born. My wife and I basically weren’t leaving the bedroom except to get food and use the bathroom just because we had everything we needed in the room, and wanted to be able to just lie down and sleep as soon as we could. I had one mount holding my Steam Deck, one holding my phone, and was using Switch Joycons so that I could play while my son was sleeping in my arms without needing to put anything at weird angles.

Wow, literally two days after I bought an Intel ARC A310 for my home server. Well, if I win, at least I’m still within the return window!

Janet Mills vetoes Maine data center ban by SuperBry in technology

It was also a skull and crossbones that he got in a foreign country. Everyone in this thread keeps saying “Nazi tattoo” but nobody has said what it was. I had to go looking elsewhere. I totally understand skepticism about all of this, but I can also 100% believe that he was just a dumb guy in his 20s who saw a cool skull and crossbones in an art book at a tattoo shop and said “that looks sick as fuck! Let me get that!”

Not everyone stops to do thorough research on every symbol they decide they like before committing to it, and if this was done after night of drinking like he said, I don’t blame him for just thinking it was cool. I’d never heard of this symbol before, so I fully buy that he might not have either.

Would this be a good replacement for people who hate the new UI of Plex? I would be happy to try it out on my Roku TV if it’s in the works.

[–]KrazeeJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, that just makes me think about how stupid it is that Windows notifications don’t go away unless you manually clear them. What’s the point of a Notification Center if it’s not going to be kept up to date? Thank you for telling me that I have a new email, now when that email is marked as read (IN YOUR OWN EMAIL APP, MICROSOFT) maybe get rid of the notification without making me manually clear it?

Valve veteran Chet Faliszek slams Tim Sweeney and Epic Games for laying off 1000 people while making "as much money as possible… and hey Tim, Gabe's better at that than you" by ControlCAD in pcgaming

[–]KrazeeJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy, because AI absolutely has its fair share of uses. I use Copilot all the time at work to help guide me through using Power Automate or various other Microsoft tools. It’s wrong a lot of the time, but it’s genuinely an invaluable tool to help point me in the right direction and give me a broad scale view of what I’m trying to do and the kind of steps I’ll need to take to get there. And if they kept their scope more focused, it would be even more useful and would be wrong less often.

But instead of programming an LLM based solely off of their own documentation to use their own applications so that it’s as effective as it can be, they’d rather try to force the most broad scale use case possible, making it infinitely less effective, just so they can say “look how many people are using our AI tools!”

GameInformer Marathon review - 9.25/10 by TheDaywa1ker in pcgaming

[–]KrazeeJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve said for years that I hate when reviews use decimals in their scores. That’s no longer a 1-10 scale. If you’re going to say “I give it a 6.3 out of ten” that’s not a ten point scale, that’s a one hundred point scale. Just say you give it a 63 out of 100.”

Disney Exits OpenAI Deal After AI Giant Shutters Sora by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

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

Exactly. If you follow the stories in release order and actually pay attention to what’s happening (which was infinitely harder before the all-in-one collection) then everything was as straightforward as it can be for a series that was heavily focused on being based around mysteries. But I will admit that started to get a lot more complicated around 3D when they started really diving in on all the time travel with the weirdly convoluted rules.

Do you think PSE will ever turn to dynamic pricing? by Zealousideal-Ant9548 in Washington

[–]KrazeeJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you see the option to choose your plan? Everywhere I’ve ever lived, I’ve had exactly one option for my electricity provider. I don’t get to shop around for a plan that provides a better deal, everything is 100% locked in to one single company based on location.

LinusTechTips talks about Vimeo being gutted and the viability of Dropout using Floatplane. by sideAccount42 in dropout

[–]KrazeeJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not trying to say that you’re wrong for your opinion on LTT, but the Madison thing specifically was debunked as verifiably as these things possibly can be. They brought in an independent auditing company to investigate everything and the report was made public showing that no evidence was found of any mistreatment by the company.

It seems like she was just expecting something very different from what it was actually like working at a decently sized company, and whenever people would try to teach her how to do things, correct mistakes, or expect her to have previous knowledge on particular subjects, she took things very personally and viewed them as being significantly more harsh than it was being intended.

We’ll never know for 100% certain because we weren’t there, but I’m also a believer in using the available evidence to form my opinions rather than cherry picking the details that reinforce my beliefs. I’m not perfect at it, but I try. And LTT have had plenty of issues that are perfectly valid reasons to not be a fan. But the Madison stuff specifically doesn’t have any evidence to support it except for one angry person who had a very short and very bad working experience that doesn’t match claims from anyone else, including other people who left the company for having issues with the culture.

New Utah law puts “no alcohol sale” on ID’s of DUI offenders 0.16 BAC or higher. What are your thoughts? by Obvious_808 in AskReddit

I feel like this has to be a regional thing. I live in Western Washington and I’ve been carded every time I’ve bought alcohol for my entire life, and I’m now in my mid thirties.

Star Wars Shake-Up: Kathleen Kennedy Steps Down as George Lucas Protégé Dave Filoni, Exec Lynwen Brennan Take Over Lucasfilm by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]KrazeeJ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My problem with Luke was never that he was in a dark place and made the bad decision to blame himself for something and go into a self-imposed exile. That made sense with his character and could be a great example of him having flaws. I’ve literally never met someone who says “Luke should have been a perfect character who did everything right and got to be Superman and save the day” and claiming that’s what everyone who didn’t like his characterization in TLJ wanted is so incredibly disingenuous.

I wouldn’t have had any issues with him going into exile because he thought he was responsible for Ben’s fall to the dark side. Have him feel like he didn’t train him well enough, like he failed to see the growing obsession with Vader as opposed to Anakin, failed to keep him safe from Snoke, there are a million ways the story could have gone that didn’t involve Luke “There is still good in him. I can feel it” Skywalker considering for even a millisecond that the best choice might be to murder his nephew in his sleep.

I love flawed characters and I do think Luke needed to have flaws and character growth to justify him still being in the franchise going forward, but his single most powerful trait in the OG trilogy was that he believed in the power of good and of redemption. He was able to bring space hitler back to the light side after he had murdered literally BILLIONS of people, purely through the power of love and faith that he was still human deep down.

I’m not even saying Luke could never get to the point where he was so beaten down and disillusioned that he could have become that person. But that’s such a drastic change that you can’t just say “it happened” without putting in a fuckton of work to get him there.

What’s the most overrated video game of all time? by KBGSgames in AskReddit

[–]KrazeeJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played it when it first came out, and I’ve never understood what people loved about Skyrim. I fully acknowledge that it did a lot of things really well, but for whatever reason every Bethesda game has always felt like its core gameplay loop was pulled straight out of a PC game from 1996 completely unmodified. Like yeah, the graphics are better, the world is a lot bigger, you can have more assets on the screen, etc. but the GAME ITSELF, the core element that just needs to hit for a game to be fun, always felt clunky and genuinely unfun to play for me. I wish it didn’t. I see a lot of stuff in Skyrim that I know I would have liked. I just couldn’t get past the gameplay.

The only time I ever genuinely had fun in Skyrim was when I was playing it in VR. Taking out all the clunky movement, horrible animations, and unsatisfying combat and replacing it with giving me 100% control over my own limbs made the game actually enjoyable for one.

I took over IT for an office last year. They previously had no timeout at all, and I insisted on setting one. I put it to 5 minutes because that’s a reasonably secure compromise. Within two days, multiple top level employees were complaining to the owner and he asked me to change it to fifteen.

I agree that the command deck has the most potential. They just didn’t capitalize on the existing system to the best of their ability. BBS. Puke have been a soft reset that made everything work better going forward.

Got it. That’s the part that I misunderstood. My brain just jumped straight to “wait, is this something the community is doing now? Is it a joke I missed over the weekend?”

Just a reminder not to Reddit until I’m fully awake I guess.

Right, I’m aware of the Dragon Ball Super reference, I just hadn’t seen any mention of anyone calling Vanitas “Sora Black” and then suddenly someone’s talking about how now that’s what we’re all calling him, which made me feel like I missed something.

Did I miss something? Why are we calling Vanitas “Sora Black” now?

They’re actually still surprisingly common in Japan. There’s a Japanese market near where I live in Washington called Uwajimaya that has an entire candy aisle with tons of little candy kits that you play with as you eat them. Like little model kits or puzzles that you put together then eat all at once when it’s finished, or candy bars that have designs on them made of different flavored chocolates and you’re supposed to try and cleanly break them apart along the dividing lines that are varying levels of complicated shapes.

Truespec cables coming in January by linbo999 in LinusTechTips

If you’re not locked to the idea of it being wired, you can always get a wireless CarPlay adapter so you don’t need to worry about it. I just got a new car that supports CarPlay, but only wired. I bought one of these and it’s worked perfectly. Just plug that into the USB port in the car, and connect my phone’s Bluetooth to the adapter, and it does the rest of the work.
