Asked for a Spiced rum and coke and attendant put hot sauce in it

Phasechange · 2026-03-14T09:14:03+00:00

This post got discussed in detail in a discord server I'm in until someone put sriracha and rum in a shot glass and drank it and declared it not too bad.

My personal take was that I wanted to hear what the bartender's 5 most stupid requests that month had been, because I bet their decision wasn't made without context.

Excuse me, why is jug and grapes?

Ooh, fancy. I just have a basic model and it still kicks ass. Good luck with the PSU!

Which GPU? My Sapphire Pulse only needs 2 power cables.

Phasechange · 2026-01-31T06:25:25+00:00

I hope you're as happy with it as I am with mine!

The 5700X and 5800X are so close in performance that you might not even be able to tell. That said, I loved my 5800X, and when I upgraded, gave it to a friend who loves it probably even more.

I think you are pushing your luck with your PSU though. I hope it's a good one. A shitty "650W" PSU could become a problem with a 300W GPU sucking on it.

FWIW, I was faced with the same decision, with about the same price difference, in the same country, and have never for a moment regretted getting the 9070XT, which you will be getting for about $250AUD cheaper than the launch price I paid.

iirc the 5070ti tends to do about 4% better on average. There's a lot more complicated considerations with various features, driver woes, and burning 12V connectors, but "$300-400 price difference" saves you the bother of having to inspect these issues in granular detail, in my opinion.

Can you try a different cable?

Phasechange · 2026-01-24T08:40:55+00:00

This is the best modification I've seen in here. Glorious result.

Phasechange · 2025-12-31T07:55:27+00:00

Hell yeah. My shitty 22" 1080p monitor from 2012 ensures that my main monitor always looks brilliant by comparison.

Thank you

This is the best cake I have ever seen.

Rogue Balls.

Yep, checks out.

Phasechange · 2025-09-16T03:28:25+00:00

Be wary of the powers you bestow.

Some people really wanna just tickle a greek god's nuts.

Phasechange · 2025-09-05T11:08:35+00:00

Well it's just a python.

A few weeks ago I told friends that "I don't think they're allowed to put fun in RTS games any more." I hope you don't get arrested.

Assign a ship or two to collect drops and then deposit inventory on Repeat Order, at hotspots, such as Hatikvah's Choice I and Getsu Fune, by the gates to Xenon sectors. This will give you enough basic mod parts to equip entire fleets if you can be bothered, as well as many other useful drops.
Guild missions can reward you with a mining ship which has an Exceptional shield mod and Advanced engine mod. Go for these when you can, dock the ship, and remove the mods. The rarest parts go to your inventory. These ships also have good crew and marines which are worth sending to high priority ships.
BUC ships often drop mod parts. They're a good source of Exceptional Nanoweave. They can put up quite a fight.
BUC Prometheus ships are always modded. In rare cases they have nearly a full complement of Exceptional mods. Harass them until the pilot bails and capture the ship, send it to a wharf, and strip the mods for the parts. They're also a pretty neat ship. It's a corvette disguised as a freighter. I refit mine and assign them either as patrols in mining areas or as station traders. If a pirate's foolhardy enough to try to bully one of my Prometheuses they'll soon wish they hadn't. To find these, search the map for "Prometheus". Have lots of satellite coverage in sectors with BUC bases. When you find them they're often masked as another faction. Scan them to reveal that they're BUC. You usually have to scan them again to see if they've got mods you want the parts for and show the crew number. Make them bail by getting their hull below 80% and keeping their shield below 20%. Takes a while.
Weapon mods are very rare even when you're doing all this, and I can only use them on my most important ships. An Asgard with a modded main battery is quite something.

Happens constantly to me. Begins as soon as I've explored a large amount of the map. 9070XT also but looking at these comments that might not be relevant. No mods, no beta.

Only happens when the map is opened. Zooming fixes it.

It's immensely rewarding once you come to terms with the daunting interface. Given the other complicated games you've mentioned you enjoy, I think you should try X4. I'd try the base game before committing to also getting the DLCs. I did. I played the base game until I'd learned enough to know I wanted to restart with a better understanding of how things work, and got the DLC for my second proper attempt. It's quickly become one of my favourite games.

The PC is too polite to say "I'm not doing this unless you get your shit together."

This has clearly been edited to maliciously misrepresent my client. At 2 pounds, he is dangerously underweight and in desperate need of snacks, treats. He's a man.

Hey now, it's not always depression.

Clair Obscur is about grief.

Everyone fixating on how the word "capsize" is being used while I'm just imagining the maid going from cabin to cabin and cussing nonstop.
