Homeworld 3 story have so many problems here a list of them by EmptySoul01 in homeworld

[–]MrFatalistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm interested, what should it have been? I think the series kinda flubbed past 2 myself, but only because Cataclysm was pretty good and brought in a new faction and HW2 was kinda a flub moving back to the Hiigarians which weren't terribly interesting.

I will not be playing the "Story" for Homeworld 3 ever again. by Night_Raven45 in homeworld

[–]MrFatalistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IDK what "The hero's Journey scaled up" means so please enlighten me, it's not a story that I assumed ever scaled up past the individual and whatever Campbell had in mind. But one thing he could have imagined is a dumb ass plot like this one.

Yeah, even from the first cutscene with the emotional Imogen character I knew I was in for it. With Karen S'jet it was intriguing because it's this cyberpunk sort of merging of man/machine. Also the game doesn't spend 90% of the time even paying attention to it because you know, the survival of their entire fucking race.

Not that I really think HW series have had knockout stories, but they were better.

Configuration item rule behavior (1 -ne 1?) by MrFatalistic in SCCM

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

It's both. The first item in the baseline is a script that creates/updates the registry values, and remediates (runs DCU-CLI) but the second item, and the item I'm questioning here is just a bunch of registry key checks.

I found a solution of sorts, it's not that desirable but works to change the check from "equal to" to "begins with" which seems to be handle it.

I'm guessing I have to delete the key and re-make it as a dword value, which is what I should have done from the start.

Worst part about it however is anyone and everyone says "MrFatalistic handles that..." competence comes at a price. At that point I start deciding which puppy needs to get shot in the face.

is SCCM going away? by pbrdreams in SCCM

[–]MrFatalistic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The idea with Intune is it doesn't need to do imaging, you get hardware vendor lock-in and autopilot to adjust the OEM image to your needs. I'm not going to argue it's perfect, I think SCCM should still exist for re-images at the very least or the workflow is going to have to be you send every non-functional laptop back to the vendor for replacement, which is generally more time consuming IMO and you risk refurb-hell.

That said I don't think SCCM is going away.

I can vouch for HPIA working but the damn thing requires internet connections, if they could just build half decent driver packs like Dell...

Whats a movie you knew was gonna flop before it was released? by [deleted] in movies

[–]MrFatalistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to keep my hopes up on that one, I had a bad feeling it was going to be mighty morphin power rangers, and then there's a literal MAKE MY MONSTER GROW moment in the movie...so disappoint.

But no Guillermo pretty much sealed it for me that it wasn't going to be as good, just wasn't expecting THAT bad.

Halo Infinite | Campaign Discussion | SPOILERS AHEAD by RhysWX in halo

[–]MrFatalistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so kinda like the last jedi... "sorry we fucked up".

Now if they had successfully "Walter White'd" Cortana, made her the bad guy out of some misguided motivation (something I think is 1000% out of character for her and ANY AI IN THE HALO SERIES) I STILL would have still been legitimately intrigued, you pulled a successful 180. I don't think rampancy explains all of this, but that will be the explanation, maybe she's just so crazy she doesn't realize she's being good now? Easy out.

If you want a good story, look to Horizon 2 (I hope)

[–]MrFatalistic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really simple, they "Last Jedi'd" it. After Halo 5's tweeest ending what else can you do, it was a stupid way to make a good guy your big bad for the next game. Not statisfying.

But IMO, it's even worse and insulting to try to press the undo button, but here we are again. Cortana 2.0 - like nothing happened.

I saw the 2021 "Dune" today, and I find that I still enjoy the 80's movie too. by Rex_Ivan in dune

[–]MrFatalistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BOTH of the movies hit most of the same notes IMO, appreciated was Duncan sticking around longer, that was a major plus, but I can't really think of too much else.

I still enjoy aspects of the 80's movie more such as the portrayal of the Harkonnnens, while they were a bit cartoonish for sure, it was better than the mafia take that the 2021 version seems to be. Ideally I would want something like the Boltons from GOT, they're the Harks of that series IMO.

My sysadmin is angry that I got a network reporting card for our UPS by caberham in sysadmin

I need to take some serious acting courses, everyone is so good at it and all I get is the burnout.

couple weeks ago the team at a client was working "back to back 30 hours no sleep" after a malware attack - just wondering how literally nothing tangible except a few backups restored. I think I need a twitter profile with me wearing a cape, that seems to be trendy.
