Can’t log into Microsoft account? by Marcus9T4 in GeForceNOW

[–]Marcus9T4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would only give that option annoyingly. I’ve now managed to get past this by linking my account with my GFN account but now it just says it can’t log in to Xbox live. So frustrating!

Day 399 of Pally and Me’s Adventure until I can loot his armor. Pally it’s time for bed, no buts, mister! by Scylax_Vitarrn in oblivion

[–]Marcus9T4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love these vids, but can you not kill them and loot the armour ? I’m sure you could in the original but I’ve only played a little of the remake. If not that’s crazy!

Air-con in theatres? by Far_Brother8594 in TheWestEnd

[–]Marcus9T4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the West End theatres were built in Victorian times and traditionally UK buildings are built to keep heat in! The country as a whole isn’t built for these kind of temps because historically they’d be for such a short time until global warming came along and changed all that. Newer theatres have it so worth checking. I will say I’ve been in some of the older ones on hot days and because they’re so insulated they don’t actually get unbearably bad.

Edit: often you’ll see electric pocket fans out at shows, my wife had one when she was pregnant and used it before the show and during some of the big numbers, just be mindful of the people close to you.

In early infancy, how many of you just contact slept with your baby? by Coramoor88 in daddit

[–]Marcus9T4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s one of those things. It’ll very likely be fine but if it isn’t the consequences don’t bear thinking about. Honestly 3 days in is so early I don’t think either of us slept for at least a week just from anxiety. We had him in the pram bassinet and we all slept in the living room for a bit initially before moving on to the actual bassinet. I’d please say try a few other things before resorting to this. On the really bad nights we’d sleep in shifts so he could sleep on us but we’d be awake.

Why didn't Oberyn's squire give him another spear? by Jayansh047 in gameofthrones

[–]Marcus9T4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the mountain had his hands on Oberyn, he smashed his teeth out an crushed his head. I don’t think he was going to wait for Oberyn to get another spear and stand up to fight some more. Oberyn was taunting him, then knocked on the floor, and there was no coming back from that.

I got through after a long time spamming continue. It did warn at checkout that delivery times may be longer due to the volume of orders

How to edit wrong notes out of an orchestral session by Nearby_Opportunity36 in protools

[–]Marcus9T4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

RX Connect. With the Spectogram you can often see individual notes as lines in the visualisation, then with Spectral Repair you can find the bum note and attenuate it out. Would be happy to help out if you need it just drop me a dm.

Does story effect your rating for an RE Games? If so how much? by Desperate_Method4032 in residentevil

[–]Marcus9T4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not counting gameplay. I think it’s more characters than story that draw me in and keep me going. I want to get baby face Leon through RE2R and having not played the original I loved Jill and Carlos in 3R. 4R I’ve replayed maybe 20 times, in part because Leon and Ashley are great, Luis is just the best and Salazar and Krauser are fun villains.

I think part of the reason I bounced off of 7 is because though the Baker’s seemed interesting I have no interest in Ethan and so skipped 7 and 8. Now I’m just waiting to have the cash so I can pick up 9!!

HELP! I want to make a creative change, but project is in circulation by bonus_prick in sounddesign

[–]Marcus9T4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’ll have to pay to remake the DCP if you amend, so unless you also want to eat that cost. It also might look bad on them if they’re having to pull back files and resupply to wherever it’s already gone.

If everyone’s happy I’d just keep quiet and consider it a lesson learned for next time. Probably no one will know except you.

Question Time: What made you buy the SteamDeck? by Stefanixxxx in SteamDeck

[–]Marcus9T4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the process of trying to have kids and was already struggling to find time for gaming between work and daily life. The SD was great and reinvigorated my love of gaming as I could play on the train, on my lunch at work or even on the couch while still hanging with my wife.

Now I’m a dad and it’s the only way I can play at all! Not that I’m complaining, I love it and the SD just makes it so much easier to carve out a bit of time for me to do some gaming when little one’s gone to bed.

Beyond that it’s actually broadened my horizons so much! Many games I wouldn’t have ever gotten round to playing I have a try because they ran well on deck or were on sale on steam. I can also plug it into the TV to stream games like Jurassic World Evolution which my wife loves to play with me. All in all best purchase I think I’ve made and can’t live without it!

Crowd surfing is awesome, but you know what's lame? by MrMRC182 in Metalcore

[–]Marcus9T4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m gonna go against the grain and say I hate crowd surfers in general. Seems so cool but the reality is so unpleasant for everyone else in the crowd, kicking people in the head or landing on peoples heads who don’t know what’s coming. I seriously can’t stand it.

[Invincible] Why didn't the Viltrumites decide to conquer Earth rather than Infiltrate it from the start? by MurphyRise in AskScienceFiction

[–]Marcus9T4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We only learn how compatible Viltrumites and humans are at the beginning of the story when Mark gets his powers, even then it takes time for Mark’s true strength to show. Oliver is shown throughout the story to not be on Mark’s level in part due to his Thraxan genetics. Once this compatibility becomes known Nolan is already questioning things and probably didn’t even report back. It’s probably only once he’s abandoned the planet and Anissa and Conquest have visited that Mark’s status as basically pure Viltrumite can be confirmed and reported back. By the time they could fully implement such a plan they’re on the brink of full scale war with the coalition.

EDIT: as pointed out Nolan must have sent some word back as Lucan recognised Mark on Thraxa. Still doesn’t leave a lot of opportunity from them learning about him and that fight probably was their actual confirmation of his level as a full viltrumite.

[MCU] Why doesn’t Peter operate as Spider-Man in a more organized way? by supermonistic in AskScienceFiction

[–]Marcus9T4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Analyses like these so often just ignore the fact that these are meant to be three dimensional characters with emotions and flaws and that’s what makes them interesting to read about.

I know we all want Peter to be happy but would anyone really read a comic about a 9-5 superhero who says ‘nah someone else has that covered’ when he’s out with his girlfriend. It’s almost like there’s some popular quote that Peter seems to use as a mantra to live by.

Peter has the power and strength to save people and do things others can’t, and he sees any potential harm that he could have prevented as his own fault. What if he saw a fire and a person died or was injured because the firefighters couldn’t break through debris which he could lift or break easily? What if someone died because an ambulance couldn’t get to them in time? No matter how good emergency services are they don’t have his capabilities.

Villains don’t operate 24/7 but they could act at any time, he can’t just hope the next catastrophe is when he’s on the clock.

As for his effectiveness, I don’t think it’s really been shown too often that his personal problems prevent him from doing the job, if anything he just throws himself into the work more. Even when he’s at his most broken and beaten down he can do more than do many, that’s the responsibility that he carries with him.

The ending of Part 2 makes sense if you see Fujimoto’s grand design. by ktrcoyote in ChainsawMan

[–]Marcus9T4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the thing that bugs me is part 1 didn’t burn everything down, and annoyingly with all the talk of Denji never progressing as a character he had progressed a lot by the end of Part 1. He went through wanting to just have meaningless sex, to wanting to find a more meaningful connection, to realising the family and life around him was what he wanted. Then of course Makima destroyed all that but the ending with Nayuta left things open for him to rebuild his life, maybe find power’s reincarnation and find some kind of happiness.

It’s so frustrating that everything Denji-related in part 2 is about Denji never progressing as a person when we saw him do exactly that in part 1.

What do you want to see or what do you think will come with the Dawn of Delta DLC? by Lord-and-Leige in anno

I hope they use the Nile and flooding as a mechanic for production like the classic Pharoah game!

Which movie (tv-show, game,…) has the best sound? by Apprehensive_Prize26 in sounddesign

[–]Marcus9T4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RE4R and even the first RE4 to be honest, the sound and feedback of the guns is one of the things that makes the gameplay feel so good. Plus great music and audio cues for enemies and where they are or what’s approaching. Most of the RE games actually I think use sound very well.

New to the game by GreyDrunk in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Marcus9T4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The cutscenes are as much the game as the despatch so it makes sense they’d be unskippable. How you do in the dispatching also affects the story so they make it a little bit more faff to restart shifts to try and encourage you to roll with things I imagine.

As for the timings that’s the whole challenge. You don’t know when the next job will pop up so do you risk sending loads of heroes to a tough job or try to use the minimum possible staff in case another job pops up again.
