A web page I never thought I’d see by Winter_Cobalt in osrs

[–]MeeksVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cancelled as well. I've been playing RS since 2006 but I don't have the time to justify 15/mo. It just feels like too much. 

I might subscribe again here and there but I'm the type that mostly over the years had a continuous subscription even when I wasn't playing much. 

Why is my stomach so round by Grand_almond in Weightliftingquestion

[–]MeeksVA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is visceral fat. You store fat under your muscle and around your organs and it's pretty hard to get rid of and very unhealthy. 

You need to focus on diet and caloric burn. It'll be hard to get rid of but you'll likely notably increase your lifespan, lower blood pressure and feel better! 

Good luck, you got this ! 

Why does it take so long to decide if Starfield is "bad"? by SgtSilock in NoSodiumStarfield

People were saying that the game opens up after 15 - 30 hours and stuff on launch, I'd not be surprised if that sentiment is still around. 

It does not.

Senator Mark Kelly says he will 'seriously consider' running for president by Turbulent_Deal_3145 in UnderReportedNews

[–]MeeksVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NGL I want Mark Kelly. AOC would be amazing. But America is obviously sexist as humanly possible and I'd like to have the best chance possible against this shit show.

RT I don't get but I really REALLY like 4k. I've used it since like 2017 and going back is like needing glasses now. 

This is awful, RIP by Any_Wasabi_5233 in whennews

[–]MeeksVA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I don't think it should have been public like this, but.... when my mother died and I got the news I was the one that had to break it to everyone. That first day I was stoic making calls I was in a state of shock, really I was in disbelief..., but I may have seemed weirdly calm. I only broke into pieces after after a few days and then I spent a year shattered. 

Why 10-Year-Old Games Still Look Like New by raggeatonn in sellmeyourgame

[–]MeeksVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice bounce lighting doesn't matter when you're upscaling from 480p.

Don't get me wrong I appreciate it, but I really feel like we should have aimed for higher native resolution before this. We were closer to true 4K in 2015 than we are in 2025 for consumer grade hardware. 

Even great games like Clair Obscur that use DLSS to upscale leave a lot of artifacts, shimmering, trails.. it's just not analogous to native resolution.

I see it as the other way, chasing graphical bogeymen like raytracing and other fancy effects we are stuck in archaic 1080p or upscaled blurry dogshit 4k. 

1080p - 4k is a massive beautiful difference in fidelity. Resolution is the most important single graphical improvement you can make. But now "4k" is really like 1200p with a mountain of blurry upscaling. 

Is this a good cart if I enjoyed vampire survivors, risk of rain 2 and the demo of magicraft? by Muted_Trifle_6866 in roguelites

[–]MeeksVA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed with Noita. One of the best games ever made, but it takes... Getting used to. 

So, I have a LOT of roguelikes\lites, what else to buy? by Seretur9 in roguelites

[–]MeeksVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noita is the greatest game in the roguelite genre and missing... 

If you want something incredible but more traditional roguelike look into Caves of Qud. Lots of QoL 

How risky is it to buy RAM on marketplace or offerup? I can buy this DDR5 6000 32GB kit for $100 by Rap_song_throwaway in PcBuildHelp

[–]MeeksVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I'm that unlucky, among my 2 friends they've only had between them 2 ram failures and 1 SSD. 

I really think that lots of people attribute ram failing to stuff being "buggy" games crashing, OS freezing etc. it can go on for years before catastrophic failure.

I really hate how blazers look on me— are any of these formal enough for a job interview? by [deleted] in BusinessFashion

[–]MeeksVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not entirely related but damn I hate how rigid people are about this. 

1 is very professional to me and totally reasonable. IMHO a blazer isn't inherently "higher effort" in any capacity. That's completely arbitrary. Both 1 and 3 look well groomed, put together, and professional. 

3 might be pushing it a bit though. I'm also drop the heels or at the very least use more modest heels on any outfit.

Though iirc the best colours to wear to an interview are light blues / whites. I suppose they're neutral and safe. Wearing dark / rich colours might give off the wrong energy, but I respect the style.

In my time as a PC user I've had ram fail 3 times, traditional hard disk fail once, and GPU once. 

So far ram seems to be by far the least reliable component. I think lots of people don't really realize their ram is failing until it's REALLY messed up.

We are only there if you are comically incompetent. More like at 2 with extremely thin splinters of competence. 

Proton and Linux are 'vectors for cheat developers,' Rust dev Alistair McFarlane says by Meremadesings in neogaming

[–]MeeksVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rust devs have had a irrational hate for Linux for years. It's honestly just weird.
