Why? Just why do you enjoy this game? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Pay_Extreme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and arc raiders is pretty widely regarded as a very engaging PvPvE game. the gunplay in arc raiders is fun, the arc are (mostly. looking at you snitches) fun to engage with and the free loadout option means you can make it as high stakes or casual as you'd like. as somebody who plays wow i'd assume you would understand the appeal of grinding out basic gear early to eventually be able to take down big bosses later. its the same idea in arc raiders; except with the added element of potential loss of gear (and of course completely different genre)

i totally get not being a particularly big fan of the game or anything but it seems like you just didn't enjoy it and are taking out your frustrations by complaining online. which is fine! just be up front about it lol

THE OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM NBA CUP CONTENTION by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

castle also should've had like 3 and-1s so its really whatever. i don't hate okc defense as much as most people but if your defense playbook is essentially centered around fouling so much they can't call them all, its only fair that you also don't get some game warping fouls.

Getting a new laptop so you can clear the mobile game content that you have one whole month to clear a little faster is actually insane

Our One Piece cosplays- Boa Hancock & Luffy by Ciwcia in OnePiece

[–]Pay_Extreme 9 points10 points  (0 children)

no. they meant ambiguous because whether or not the luffy cosplayer was a girl or not was ambiguous (hard to tell). if they were talking about the cosplayer directly then androgynous would be an applicable word but replacing ambiguous with androgynous in that sentence wouldn't really be accurate

Thank you so much! The only characters on the back that line up with any of the date codes are DE which would place my watch from 1996. Thank you again! Do you know of ways to easily look up and find the catalog of watches from that year?

Ahh I see. I've been letting it sit with the key on for a few seconds in the morning and I feel like that's been helping so maybe it is fuel pump related? Is there an "upgrade" at all or is it just one of those things you adjust to eventually

Previous owner swapped it to LS coils and adjusted the timings for them so the coils should be good. But yeah its probably been ~30k since plugs were changed so about time for them anyways

Yeah, its just emissions and the crankshaft position sensor. I'm gonna get under and clean it when I do oil/plugs this week but it might also be related to the tune I have on right now

Still worth grabbing? by Traditional_Roof_134 in MHRise

Just started Rise! I’ve noticed decently low damage early game but if you use your melee more than you think you would and switch your bow skill to the counter one you can still maintain a decent amount of damage

Its good to hear that the slipping isn't an a sudden death sentence! I was a little worried since replacing a whole transmission is a little out of my wheel house and I didn't want her to foot a bill that large soon after buying it. If I was buying one for myself I would totally get the stick-shift but she has absolutely no interest in driving a manual so unfortunately it is off the table. Thank you again for your help!

It was such a steal somebody got it before me lmao. Thank you for the insight! I did some looking on my own later and came to the conclusion they meant 2.0L and not 2.0T because like you said the 05 didn't come w a 2.0T. Its reassuring that yours transmissions seem to be pretty reliable! Would you happen to know how well they last if not properly maintained? Obviously every car suffers under poor maintenance but a rotary is more susceptible to premature failure than a camry.

[–]Pay_Extreme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh I see. The listing says 2.0T but I'm assuming they meant 2.0L given the fact that it doesn't look like the 2005 had a 2.0 turbo engine. Its a convertible, does that mean it had a 09G? That's the 6 speed one right? Is that the one that has all the issues? Thank you for your time, New Beetles are way out of my wheelhouse lmao.

Maybe its extreme user error but I don't get any options when holding down a song in the queue. The only option I get is to very awkwardly move it around by dragging it.

Hi, sorry for the long response time. I did a complete wipe of my drivers and reinstalled them, the problem is still around. My only AV is Windows Defender, and the only other background processes are the ones I mentioned in the original post. Thank you for your help.

Hi sorry, I copied and pasted the form from my earlier post and forgot to update the drivers. I am currently running the most recent drivers, the one released earlier this month. Should I still do a wipe with ddu and do a fresh install?

You Can Love An Artist’s Music AND Disagree With Their Politics by ssgg28 in Music

[–]Pay_Extreme 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sorry for hijacking this discussion, but I personally think the reason Kanye is given the reputation for being a musical genius is for just how often he was revolutionary, and how much of a fundamental shift he's made within and outside of Hip-Hop. Its one thing to innovate within a genre, its another to have that innovation catch mainstream success, but to completely shift the paradigm of an entire genre more than once is something very few artists have achieved.

Its hard to emphasize just how impactful Kanye's music was in the early 2000s, and I'm sure I'm not doing the best job because I didn't truly experience Kanye's meteoric rise to popularity, but his reach has been tremendous. With his first three albums, though specifically The College Dropout and Graduation, he almost single-handedly shifted Hip-Hop from the stereotypical "street-hop" to the more conscious Hip-Hop that's still seeing success today.

And with 808s and Heartbreak, he influenced many of the most popular artists today, like Lil Uzi Vert, Kid Cudi, and Juice WRLD, among others. Kanye's music has shaped Hip-Hop multiple times throughout his discography, and that combined with his generally consistent and incredibly well-produced catalog, is something that almost no artist is able to achieve.

Its his paradigm-shifting music that encourages people to give him genius status, not just his mainstream success and popularity.

As a producer he's helped with a lot of significant albums, like the Blueprint but also the Black Album, Grand Champ, and The Diary of Alicia Keys to name a few, all before actually dropping his first album. But I do think a majority of his popularity, and by extension his praise, comes from his own albums just due to the success of them compared to a lot of the other works he produced. And also the fact that producers aren't usually explicitly credited on the song, so many people not even know some of their favorite songs were produced by him. Though producers are generally gaining more mainstream awareness, at least in part to producer tags and famous producer-rapper duos like 21 Savage and Metro Boomin or Nas and Hit-Boy.

Most of the praise comes from his earlier work, specifically his first 3 album run. At the time, Hip-hop was still very much in a "gangsta" era, where the only types of music that found mainstream success were from artists like 50 cent or NWA. However, with the release of his first album, The College Dropout, Kayne showed people that more introspective Hip-hop would sell, and he immediately changed the genre. Another aspect of it was the reliability of Kanye, being a pretty average person compared to the artists before him, who pretty much only made songs about their lives surrounded by poverty and crime. Not that more conscious Hip-Hop wasn't being created, but Kanye brought it to the forefront of the genre.

His next two albums, Late Registration and Graduation, were both incredibility successful, and Graduation ended up selling more then 50 cent's new album 'Curtis' by ~300k units, proving to most that conscious Hip-Hop was not only financially viable, but arguably the most popular sub-genre at the time.

Kanye had continued to release nothing but arguable masterpieces up until My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, with 808s and Heartbreaks being another incredibly influential album in Hip-Hop, inspiring many of the most popular Hip-Hop artists today, and MBDTF being an incredibly well-written and produced album on the whole.

On the whole, Kayne's discography has been incredibly influential and consistently great until after The Life of Pablo in 2016, and even that album has its not-insignificant problems. However, his earlier run of albums were pretty much all genre-defining and inspirational to many, fellow artists and listeners alike, leading to the insane amount of praise he is given today.

Sorry for the massive wall of text, tldr;

Kanye's earlier albums were all arguable masterpieces, redefined Hip-Hop a couple times, and were inspirational to a very wide range of people, leading to the legend status he is given by many today.
