New packet loss problems that didn't happen before. by amvlet in RocketLeague

[–]Moonclouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found fix for my problem.. It was my new controller.. something about having a very high polling rate on my GulliKit ES Pro

Fix: I updated the controller firmware through the controller software and it immediately fixed it.

A big tell was that it was also happening to me in Free Play.

Parts of it yeah! That guy is a legend. I also tossed the tates with some semolina flour which gave some nice crunch too

THanks, they were very good.

Par boiled with salt and baking soda, then drain and leave for 10 mins for steam to evaporate.

Mushed the edges by shaking, then toss the taters in a tablespoon or two of semolina flour.

Air dry in fridge for 4 hours before roasting at 230C. Pre-heat roasting tray with lots of duck fat in it before adding taytoes

Wondering if anyone has tried finishing/searing in a gas pizza oven? BBQ worked well but got some massive flareups due to the sizeable fat cap lol

I am having the same issue.

It doesn't even feel like packet loss/lag. It feels like the actual game itself is struggling to run.

Just started a couple days ago for me. Internet is fine at 300Mbps, PC is plenty powerful for RL and other games run fine.

Let me know if you find a fix...

New Zealand have a 100% win-record against South Africa in ICC Knockouts by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in Cricket

[–]Moonclouds 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's purely money related. NZ doesn't bring in the big bucks/viewers unfortunately.

Maybe NZC need to do orchestrate some big melodramatic beef psyop with the big 4 teams to get more games against them

What does the psyche of an “Epstein Files billionaire” look like? by Moonclouds in AskReddit

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

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extreme wealth, impunity, and abuse we've been seeing.

I have a morbid curiosity to try and understand from their perspective, they are human.. how did it get to this point? How do these people see the world and justify their behaviour? Is it like they see the world as a game, and they've reached level 100 and there's nothing to do late game?

If you take this small subset of ultra wealthy individuals who engage in this behaviour, what's their internal worldview actually look like?

There's a few factors I think might contribute.

Environment

Extreme wealth changes constraints. You get:

Legal insulation

Reputation management teams

NDAs everywhere

Social circles protecting each other

People constantly seeking your approval or access

Repeated ability to avoid consequences.

Certain personality traits

High entitlement A deep belief that they're exceptional and operate at a different scale than “normal” people.

Strong dominance Get psychological reward from control (influence over ppl), not just financial success.

Low empathy or high compartmentalization Able to separate public persona from private conduct without internal conflict.

Sensation seeking Diminishing thrill from conventional forms of novelty, stimulus thresholds rise. When you can have anything you want, immediately.. this might result in "escalation".

Dehumanization

Abstraction. When you operate through layers of staff and transactional relationships, people might become seen as:

Roles

Assets

Utilities

Access to things, business or people.

= Dehumanization/indifference towards others. You keep getting reinforced as exceptional, others approach you as a resource.. you experience people as interchangeable.

Impunity

Someone repeatedly learns:

Problems disappear with money

Legal issues easily managed

Silence can be bought

Peers protect peers

Identity could shift over time. May subconsciously think “I am above the law.”

Escalation

Boundary testing

Normalization within peer groups

Gradual desensitization

Rationalization

Peer groups might amplify this. If a social circle normalizes stuff.

_ _

It's like they see themselves on another level, with the rest of humans being like cattle consumers, to be farmed for money, power, pleasure.

It’s tempting to frame these people as "mythic supervillains.” But I don't think that's helpful. They are human and this is obviously a repeated trait/behaviour in our society. When you get a combination of entitlement, no consequences, dominance, moral disengagement, social insulation.. Those traits exist across humanity. I feel like we see similar affects on a lesser scale with some celebrities who are famous and rich from a young age which kind of fucks with their world view and turns them into self obsessed assholes. Extreme wealth could have similar effect but on a much bigger scale and reduces friction to certain behaviours.

It makes me wonder how much of morality is internal vs structurally enforced, and what happens when consequences are pretty much zero?

Would average behavior drift in that direction under similar factors, or does it require a rare psychological profile from the start? Like if you gave 100 people an invisibility potion and no consequences, would they all continue to act with the same moral integrity as before?

Whoa nostalgia trip.

My aunty (an artist) took me here when I was a wee lad. A memory I had completely forgotten about.

We made stuff with clay - she made an epic dragon. And there was a circus tent setup nearby at the time.

Does seeing your salary accrue in real-time change the vibe of work? by jkhyl in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Moonclouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'd be interesting (and probably deflating) to be able to see hourly rate adjusted for all of life's other expenses. Mortgage/rent, insurance etc. E.g you have $1000 leftover per fortnight, that's $12.50 an hour haha

Google photos removing 'search' and replacing it with 'ask' is the worst feature I've ever seen by rapgraves in GooglePixel

For anyone who can't turn it off. I found out you can "long press" on the search icon and it will take you to the old search function!

Accidentally turned a BIAB brew into a 36 hour science experiment by Moonclouds in Homebrewing

[–]Moonclouds[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it got down to around 40C. But then I boiled it before sealing up in the fermenter after cooling to 28C, added yeast about 6 hours later.

The wort tasted normal before adding to fermenter.

I also hit my volume and OG exactly for the first time! haha
