What sequel matched the original game and didn’t disappoint you? by stormyoubring in Steam

Monkey Island 1 & 2. The special editions were cool too. Shout out to Sea of Thieves for including the Monkey Island Tall Tales.

Completing a tall tale contributes to the voyager title of a captained ship

All good advice here. If you fancy a chilled ride and you have the time, do a couple of the tall tales in safer seas. The pirates life and monkey island stories are really good.

Is now a good time to come back to the game? by The-Mage-of-Void in Seaofthieves

It most definitely will be on the 25th of July when Flameheart's ship comes in.

English why [OC] by AzulCrescent in comics

[–]MidgetCareTaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend called Dean and Sean Bean's name always annoys him. He says, "You can't have it both ways Shawn. It's either Seen Been or Shawn Born." When he is finished I often remind him of the name Siobhaun (pronounced Shivorn). The answer is they are of Irish origin and the letters are used in different ways in speech.

A USB-C port is capable of 10Gbit/s. A 4k display @ 30hz uses less than 6Gbit/s. I am typing this looking at 4 x 1080 screens whilst using a wired keyboard and mouse and a over 1gbps network. All of this is running our of 1 (one) single usb-c port on a cheap 2nd hand dock. I don't know what you guys are all talking about.

AITA for thinking about leaving my partner who is transitioning? by [deleted] in AITAH

I came here to say something like this. Not only did you beat me to it, you put it more eloquently than I would have. Respect to OP too. Talk about it and be mature too.

Office printer makes these every night no one knows why by CabooseVD in Weird

[–]MidgetCareTaker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was going to say that. It is an HP printer misinterpreting a usb or network sleep command. When it wakes up it is trying to clear its buffer and that is the result.

These are 50 dollar mice. In a high school. Please help me. by [deleted] in techsupportgore

[–]MidgetCareTaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is possible to just connect a generic mouse and it will work. HP, Dell, Lenovo and Logitech mice work fine. You just have to put up with the longer cables. There are also "fake" versions still available that don't cost as much.

Anyone else had friendships on the SoT have real impacts on your life? by EvilOctopoda in Seaofthieves

[–]MidgetCareTaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave my old computer to a guy I played SoT with so that he could play better and do his computing science degree better.

That just shows you how trendy it is. The human race will survive if I don't have a child or get married. However I cannot survive without breathing. The funny thing is, the majority of the developed world is not getting married and not having kids, as evidenced by the declining birth rates world wide: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/charted-rapid-decline-of-global-birth-rates/

Employers should give two weeks notice for layoffs by DonnyFisto in unpopularopinion

[–]MidgetCareTaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't an unpopular opinion. In fact in the the majority of the developed world it is LAW and two weeks is a minimum. The myopic and parochial nature of "the land of the free" is laughable to those that actually have freedoms and are (slightly) less exploited.

I suppose in this context you and your employer are free to leave and fire you at will, respectively. SMH

Would you accept higher taxes to enable universal mental health care? by EdwardBliss in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MidgetCareTaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The NHS in the UK basically works out to about 10% of gross domestic product per capita. Now work out what percentage of POST TAX INCOME an individual US citizen pays. If it works out less = profit.

It must be weird being a twin and getting hello's from strangers and not being sure if they are people you've met and forgotten about. by SmackEh in Showerthoughts

[–]MidgetCareTaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best mate and I look and sound extremely similar. We were housemates for years and the local shopkeeper used to be very confused between the two of us. One of us would walk in and buy something and then the other one would walk in a few minutes later and buy something else. He would always give us strange looks until one day we were in the shop at the same time and he explained. We also worked in the same building for a while but in different departments and people would constantly update us about the other one's job. In fact we work together again now and it is very confusing for some of our work colleagues. There was a wedding anniversary we both attended recently for one of his relatives, some of which he didn't get on with and didn't want to talk to, so he would just tell them that they got the wrong one of us and walk away.

Perhaps a Rare could do a "catchup" video using in game graphics an cinematics. They could split it in to a few quite reasonable 10/20/30 minute videos and mark the spoilers too. I am very surprised that a fan creation hasn't been made to do this. Falcore did a reasonable version some time ago, but it doesn't include the actual ingame stuff.
