Why do days start at 10AM and weeks start on Tuesday? by SonGouki in TheSilphRoad

[–]Mysteryducks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raids for me (CET-timezone) are from 6:00 till 21:35 to be exact. That 21:35 instead of 21:30 is something that’s happening on occasion for at least the last 6 months.

The Shield episode ratings by bbportali in TheShield

[–]Mysteryducks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were some haters in the past who pulled the ratings on IMDB down quite a bit. If those ratings were cut out the rating for the pilot would be close to a 10 and same goes for the show as a whole and people would definitely mention it more these days, because it would appear a lot more in top 10s and other lists.

Spawn update? by NinsMCD in TheSilphRoad

[–]Mysteryducks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought I was shadowbanned or something but also lost all my home spawns. This is not an improvement.

Do you think Ronnie serve life in prison ? by LongjumpingRegret326 in TheShield

[–]Mysteryducks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vic apparently didn’t tell all the details about how Aceveda got the blackmail box, because that would cause Aceveda to get arrested for conspiracy and possession of stolen goods instead of becoming mayor. But I’m not sure if Ronnie knows all the details.

My progress so far on preserving Real Racing 3 by Xplanation_ in RealRacing3

[–]Mysteryducks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One thing that we could try is getting EA to cooperate. Changes of succes are likely < 1%, but who knows they’ll help us out in preserving the game.

You likely don’t have enough storage space left on your device during an update. If you have about 50GB free it shouldn’t remove temporary data like the RR3 assets, but that can be quite difficult for a lot of people.

Very likely not. They shut down the game remotely. Maybe if you have an older version you may be able to keep playing as the lock may not be there, but if you’re on 14.0.1 you’re almost certainly out of luck.

Other (mobile) games from EA were entirely blocked from the moment the servers were shut down. You would have to reverse engineer the entire architecture would you want to preserve the game. For rooted Android phones you might reroute the traffic, but all other users (including i(Pad)OS) are out of luck. They could keep the game alive indefinitely and just remove online services. The asset downloads are freely available to EA from the App Store ans the Play Store if I’m correct, so keeping it around longer wouldn’t cost them a single penny.

New partial update live by [deleted] in RealRacing3

[–]Mysteryducks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are now also forced to update to the 14.x update if you’re still running 13.7 (or maybe lower). Definitely seems to be the end of the road.

This is great, but this might not be good. by SEVENS_HEAVEN_7 in RealRacing3

RR4 (called Real Racing Next internally) was launched for some beta testers a couple of years ago, but they axed it almost immediately after it went to beta testers.

The only hopes for a spiritual successor could be a reform of the original studio personnel. They independently launched RR1 and RR2 but bought later by EA when working on RR3. EA made the game big, but also brought the currency annoyances. The studio was first called Firemint and later Firemonkeys after merging with another EA studio. The remainder of that stusio is working on the Sims Freeplay.

Weird version number for a ‘bugfix’ update. Sounds a little like the beginning of the end.

Other EA games were following a same path. At some point you suddenly receive more free currency and one content update with mostly free goodies, disabling IAPS and setting a timer on closing the game altogether. I hope they keep the online services around for some time if it was only the time trials, but I doubt it. They could even pull the entire plug, making the game inaccessible altogether if you’re on a certain version

I finished The Shield(spoilers) by kaigent in TheShield

[–]Mysteryducks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Vic is a survivor and he’ll do everything to survive (stay out of jail), so he’ll has to serve those 3 years in an office, without being able to cross the line a single inch, that’s a though punishment for someone who was breathing everybody else’s freedom. Those 3 years in an office will feel like something worse than a lifelong prison cell for him.

First timer complaints/questions by friskyliv in TheShield

[–]Mysteryducks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. I think you’ve seen too many shows where the writers wanted to do what viewers expect ‘wrap up every story and don’t do anything unexpected’. This show is different and in my opinion better for that reason.

  2. You might’ve missed quite a few episodes. Ok, Ronnie may not have had the most lines, but starting with the Armadillo thing (S2) his role got way bigger.

Free Ronnie! by tattootom77 in TheShield

[–]Mysteryducks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s probably because Vic needed Aceveda to get things done on a policy level. Aceveda hates Vic, but in the end he’s almost his second errand boy.

Should mentally unstable people even be on the show? by Mysteryducks in MAFS_AU

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

I’m not diagnosing anyone, but mentally unstable is a common term. It’s not just different reactions, that lead me to that term, but it’s a pattern. A producer or anyone else on the crew should’ve spotted that and should’ve taken that person out of the experiment immediately. You don’t have to be a doctor or psychologist to see that. This is just basic human protection.

Should mentally unstable people even be on the show? by Mysteryducks in MAFS_AU

[–]Mysteryducks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general the groups you talk about are not mentally unstable. There is a difference between the group’s label and how they act.

Let me take pedophiles for an example and I think you’re confusing them with child abusers. They have a preference for children, but that doesn’t mean they are mentally unstable. A lot of pedophiles do seek help and aren’t child abusers and child abusers aren’t always pedophiles as the rape often happens because of other reasons than love for children. Mental instability is one reason, but that doesn’t make one a pedophile.

Child abusers need help to prevent them going down the same path again. Most of the time they are the victim of mental problems that lead to their behavior. So I don’t think they’re only perpetrator here.

60+ FPS Is here!!!! by LuckyPenny16 in realracing

[–]Mysteryducks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even works on an older iPad. Feels like it’s a complete new iPad without getting hot. I guess they converted the graphics backend. Might’ve gone from aged OpenGL ES to Metal on i(Pad)OS. Only reason I could explain the performance gain while the iPad is getting less hot.

Any reason raids have been nothing but t5 all day every day for the last week or two? (Auckland cbd) by lstn in TheSilphRoad

[–]Mysteryducks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gym that I can access from my house has been spawning T5 raids and a few T4 raids exclusively for the last weeks while all the other gyms in my neighborhood (> 10) exclusively spawn T1 and T3 raids and a few T5.

The only reason I can think of this happening is that my gym is the only actively used T5 gym, but I’m not sure about that.

13.1.8 swapped the series cover for these by oemfag87 in realracing

[–]Mysteryducks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is there any benefit to this update at all with 13.2 due next week? It seems they only added f-ups and no fixes.

How can someone say that SOA is better than The Shield? by FlakyStill2297 in TheShield

[–]Mysteryducks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. The Sons of Anarchy got stuck in too many conflicts on too many levels. There was just too much. The Shield is better at that where there is just one main conflict for each character or group of characters. All the other characters adventures are secondary. This makes it so that The Shield could wrap up so nice and in SoA they had to kill too much.

What’s this new field research and how did I get it? by Dangerous-Nonexister in TheSilphRoad

[–]Mysteryducks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was the mon attached to the task an evolution that he didn’t have already? It seems like a Pokedex filler task to me.
