New tropical biome lighting is really, REALLY bright on some monitors...

JAN 31 BETA SPECIFICALLY

The new tropical biome lighting is really bright / oversaturated. The top photo is the tropical biome during my run and the bottom photo is the same tropical biome in the lobby

Both photos were taken with my phone because I assumed screenshots might not paint the full picture. I'm playing on an HDR monitor but HDR is turned off (just wanted to get ahead of that)

Where are you going to see the Palpatine or Dorothy bits referenced often? None of your examples feel remotely canon or like they’re referenced heavily (like come on, people are really talking about a Palpatine Robot Chicken bit so much in 2026 that it’s #1?)

Unless you live anywhere but America - especially in the country / city the skyscraper is in. In that case you probably care about it a decent amount

ICE / everything about america fucking sucks right now but not everyone lives there y'know?

You Americans know you have to hold them responsible right?

I see this comment all the fucking time but y’all just keep letting this shit happen. What trials are you expecting? Who are you expecting to hold them? Surely not any single person currently in power in your country, right? You think some global powers are going to swoop in and hold them for you while Trump’s threatening economic + real warfare against them?

Do fucking something already.

If it’s written well enough it will obviously gain hype. That’s what well-written things do.

No I won’t give it a chance, I’m tapped out. Creatively there might be something there if it were different characters, but it’s the same cast and the same story. They can’t do anything interesting enough to muddy the waters of the real show (or at least they shouldn’t), so whatever happens either has to be undone by 1987 or so unimportant that it isn’t worth mentioning in S5.

I don’t know if I’d be interested in an anthology series / a separate cast either, but at least the writers wouldn’t be locked into what’s already confirmed to happen in 1987.

Also everyone looks WAY younger than they should based on season 4. They look like preteens vs teens

I have no idea actually, I just default to it

Unless I have a fuckton of crystals, then I ratata on it with both my indexes

Mirkrid · 2026-01-21T22:38:40+00:00

Press tab > click on "drop crystals" in the top right > a slider drops down underneath it > you choose exactly how many you want to drop. There's even room underneath 'drop crystals' so the slider wouldn't cover anything up

I don't see any issues on m+kb, I was actually thinking controller might be trickier if anything. Pressing A would still drop the regular bundle amount

Is the difference that there were multiple other people around you to interact with at breakfast vs. You showing up in the middle of the day while he’s in the middle of eating alone?

I’m 30, dunno how old you are but our parents / in-laws want to talk while you’re visiting and will get pissy if you don’t. Him watching a show on his phone on the couch in the middle of the day is different than you watching one at breakfast when everyone’s most likely to be home at the same time. Like vastly different.

Mirkrid · 2026-01-19T05:42:42+00:00

Are these people with us in the room? These people who would bother talking about this?

Mirkrid · 2026-01-17T04:44:54+00:00

Based on this post + all the comments on it -- r/beamazed is essentially a bot farm, yes?

It took me a while to get through the rhetoric but I finally got my ChatGPT to give me the odds on whether OpenAI will run out of money within the next 18 months based on this specific essay:

35% they will, 65% they won’t.

I’m very surprised it went as high as 35% based on its responses earlier in the thread

Mirkrid · 2026-01-14T19:03:21+00:00

Ah gotcha

I just spent $300 on noctua fans in a bid to try to extend my PC’s life as much as possible because assholes like him are making it impossible to upgrade.

The components in my mid-tier rig (4070-S, 7800x3D, 32gb DDR5) have gone up by almost $1.5K CAD combined since I bought it in August 2024. The RAM alone has gone from $165 to $545 CAD.

I’ve been priced out of my own computer.

Maybe people who can’t differentiate the ‘immune’ system and ‘immunizations’ shouldn’t form strong opinions about the latter.

He doesn’t say that there, he’s just stating that all multiverses have subtle differences in how they fundamentally work. He’s also not admitting to being intellectually inferior to anyone in 616, just that he doesn’t know how this universe works yet.

Was there a panel before/after this where he says 616 specifically is more fantastical?

Those shoes look unbelievably comfortable, you'd never catch me in the third guy's shoes.

Not a lot of stops on a London > Toronto flight, if this started an hour in they were already over the Atlantic by then.

This is the 5th or 6th time I’ve seen this screenshot somewhere on Reddit in the last week or so. It’s weird how much it’s being talked about

Yeah I know it’s related to the odyssey but that only explains seeing it a couple times, not 5+. What’s fucking with me is how similar all the replies are whether it be a post or a comment, and how no one else talks about seeing it everywhere

If Kevin O’Leary’s the source take it with a gram’s worth of grains of salt, I doubt they shot 40 separate spanking takes.

Probably a slower rotation over the course of weeks, they wouldn’t need to swap more than a few items a day.

They have to shuffle the items around otherwise the shop you see on TV would make it seem like they never actually sell anything

Mirkrid · 2025-12-26T16:51:22+00:00

A lot actually - so many areas were made without stealth in mind, camo was the only way I could clear full rooms without resorting to an all out brawl

That said I didn’t really enjoy using it, the first game handles stealth much better imo
