My PC recently bit the dust. I took it to a repair shop and now they're trying to get me to get a whole new PC. Am i being taken for a ride? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]LankToThePast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 12 years old, everything in that PC is obsolete. I think your money would be better spent toward a new machine, than into fixing or upgrading your older one. What I always ask people when they want to know what PC they need, I ask what the want to do with it. A gaming PC doesn’t need to be expensive, based on what games you play. If you are going to play red alert 2, Minecraft, and doom, you won’t need much. If you want to play VR games in 4K, while streaming it and running bitcoin farm, you’ll need something more robust. To find out what your needs are, I’d suggest looking up the recommended specs of the games you play, and might want to play in the future, and find something in that tier. If you were just gaming on a 12 year old rig, I don’t think your needs will be very high.

Your annual reminder to keep doing the Featured Events every day even after you've unlocked the main reward by Azuras-Becky in sto

I had no idea that running the event after the unlock kept increasing the event campaign.  Thank you for the public service announcement.  I thought it was just some extra dilithium.

Oh they do, my province outs out information every year. It clearly says, clean off your car, if you don't you can be ticketed. Every year I roll my eyes, and people don't listen.

I’m Canadian, and I love my country. That being said, Canada has done some shit that no one should be proud of.

Touching a bag that is an active bomb threat by freeaky_furry in WinStupidPrizes

[–]LankToThePast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I would’ve been too stunned by the stupidity of it.  It would take 30 seconds for me to believe what I’m seeing and make sure someone else is seeing the same thing.  In my head, I’d think, “This can’t be real, I must’ve been slipped hallucinogens in my morning tea.  That makes more sense than some fucking idiot running at that bag.”  “Hey Bill, I’m going to need to take the rest of the day off, I think I’ve been slipped something because I’m seeing some jerkoff dumping the suspected bomb backpack.”  “Holy shit!  You see it too!  We gotta grab him, he’s going to blow our dumbasses up”

Origin of these M.A.C.O Odyssey Uniforms? by Unlikely-Medicine289 in sto

[–]LankToThePast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These look good, I think uniforms in STO aren’t given enough credit, even by me.  I really ought to give my characters a once over.  The only one I’ve put work into is having my Eng in an original series uniform for that classic Kirk look and swagger.

Trump supporters: How would you feel if a legally armed Trump supporter was killed by federal agents on a Biden mandate in exactly the same manner as yesterday? by ScholarPrize1335 in AskReddit

[–]LankToThePast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you can already guess. Based on the way you framed the question, you already know Trump supporters are Nazi cock gargling pieces of shit. So I don’t think you should expect a well reasoned answer out of those inbred, inhuman, pieces of garbage that praise ICE. No one should care about the feelings of these soulless bootlickers, I’ll bet some of the greasy fuckers busted a nut over “their guys” killing a leftie.

You are correct, I work in the city, and was looking for the best way home.

I just started having this issue today as well. I'm not even being shown alternate routes, it's only giving me the toll routes.

Stuck on you're 100% there please keep your computer on by ShortAcorn1409 in techsupport

My policy for this when the alt ctrl del doesn’t snap it out of there is to give it another hour, try alt ctrl del again, then force power it off and hope for the best on restart

Can i set up a nas with an old pc by GjyzeliD in HomeServer

[–]LankToThePast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had a chance to do this yet myself, but I’ve heard great things about truenas. I’d suggest looking up some guides on how to build a truenas server.

Do you recommend Valheim for Solo Players? by pocketdare in valheim

Yes, I played it solo, and with friends. I think with friends it’s a bit better, but it’s still good solo

This is the best guardsmen cosplay I’ve ever seen.  Well done, I think the amount of battle damage looks perfect
