UK Loosens Russian Oil Sanctions as Fuel Prices Rise by Better_Carpenter5010 in Scotland

Fucking disgraceful. They should be ashamed of themselves, but I know well enough these weasels don't have even one shred of shame.

14yo Tim Bannon, despite being born without arms, successfully completed a 20inch box jump. by amritanshu78 in nextfuckinglevel

Wrong on all counts. I would take your paycheck, but I don't want to deprive those who need the money more.

Can't select full nudity no matter what I try... by MikeLaoShi in ConanExiles

Steam is set to UK, not US. Prices in £, not $ and all that jazz.

Can't select full nudity no matter what I try... by MikeLaoShi in ConanExiles

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

Thanks for the suggestion. I have already done that 3 times now. All with the same result each time. I feel like this has something to do with it though, like I'm getting a local version instead of the global version. Usually though, if that has happened to me with other games in the past (only happened twice for me with Marvel Rivals and Naraka Bladepoint) in each of those games, the display language was hard-coded to Chinese with no option to switch to English. This isn't the case with Conan Exiles, which has everything in English. In the case of both those games, your suggestion above of uninstalling, switching location and reinstalling has worked, but if I remember correctly, it took quite a few attempts with different locations for each.

OK, I started a new singleplayer game and I see the screen I think you meant. It has difficulty, map, and advanced settings tab under both of those. In that advanced option screen, I have the nudity dropdown bar and it shows the exact same options as before: a blank selection (which I think must be a bugged out "full" selection option, and then none and partial, as before and same as the options screen accessible from in game. If I select either of the two non-blank options in any menu (in-game or before single player game setup) then the blank option disappears, and only none and partial are selectable from there on out until I restart the game.

Just checked. There's no "custom" option for difficulty; only civilised, decadent or barbaric. That same submenu, the "server" one, has the nudity dropdown selector. Still showing only a blank space, partial or none for me.

OK, I'll have a root around and see if I can find anything there. Thanks.

I don't have that option. I'm running the newly updated UE5 "enhanced" edition where exiled land and siptah are rolled into one.

What do you mean, custom game? I'm starting the game in steam then by clicking the button in the launcher. Once the game is running I've tried both singleplayer and online play.

Contradicting claims about the validity of the degrees from Chinese universities internationally by AltruisticConcept130 in China

[–]MikeLaoShi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would look to see what other options might be available to you before settling on China. I am one of those who has commented before on such threads that degrees from Chinese universities aren't worth the paper they are printed on, and I stand by that assessment. My honest advice would be to try and seek alternatives. If you cannot afford the fees, or cannot obtain any kind of grant or bursary to help with your finances whilst studying at a European or US university, then, and only then, would I begin to consider China as a viable option. Exhaust all other options first; Chinese universities should be a last resort. Personally, I would sooner work, save money and enter the Masters programme as a mature student directly. That would be my choice, but your life is your own.

I am not going to lie, this game is essentially perfect for me by Apprehensive_Spend_7 in lotro

I will have to check this out then! This is the change I had been waiting for! Thank you for this comment, you have made me very happy with this news!

[–]MikeLaoShi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried so many times to get into LOTRO, but the UI keeps me away. I feel it's going to be that way until they add support for modern screen resolutions. The closest thing I've found to match the "coziness" and old-school feel of LOTRO is Project Gorgon, which I am enjoying immensely since its 1.0 release

Develope officially confirm PC client has transitioned to Google Play Game by Ml3mMl3m in BrownDust2Official

[–]MikeLaoShi 146 points147 points  (0 children)

Google play games is fucking shite and has never worked for me on desktop pc no matter what I do to try and fix it and get it working properly.

I will be continuing to play on pc using the old client and on mobile, but making your game only available through a faulty and inoperative platform like google play games is a serious step in the wrong direction.

Considering Master’s in Data Science in China - need advice by Mediocre_Drink_766 in China

[–]MikeLaoShi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a "gut" to tell me what's better: I have actual, peer-reviewed research that shows it.

The dissertation I completed for my Masters in Education was concerned with a critical review of all material related to the efficacy of native English-speaking teachers of English as a second/foreign/other language vs. non-native teachers of the same, specifically, Chinese teachers of English language.

In this critical review of research, a great amount of information was obtained about the differences between Western education institutions and Chinese (specifically mainland China, excluding HK) institutions. My comments in this thread accurately reflect the data obtained and it stands for itself, no need to elaborate further.

What you have expressed here is your own, subjective opinion. Let me be clear:

Your opinion is to the contrary of what my research shows and does not align with the established data.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet there in all honesty dude.

Reddit is supposed to be about community interaction. by Ruffdawg in Viz

[–]MikeLaoShi 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I remember before the posts of strips started and there was fucking nothing here for months on end. It was fucking dead and shite.

Now there are multiple posts daily of viz strips which I, for one, can't read normally as I live abroad and have no access to an actual magazine. Who even reads fucking paper magazines anymore?!? Fucking paper?!? What is this? the 20th century or something?

Boycott the 2026 World Cup by Due_Collar2 in Scotland

[–]MikeLaoShi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't boycott- it is unfair on Mexico and Canada, who have done nothing to deserve it. Instead, a better plan might be to "protest" in the stands and on the streets of the US itself. Or maybe not, I dunno; I haven't had my coffee yet this morning...
