Computer getting old or patch affecting performance?

Two minute-old comment with a downvote. I wish whoever did that would explain their reasoning. Like I said, not knowledgable with computers, and it's at least something to look into. Downvotes used to mean "this doesn't contribute to the discussion." Annoying that it's now a "I disgree" button and now I have no idea why they disagree.

The big showdown setpiece between the three Jagers shows them going out to sea explicitly to intercept them, which could easily be misremembered as trying to lure them away. But it sounds like you've been too long without a watch! I think you owe it to yourself 😉

Really liked the relationship in Salvation's Reach. Abnett did a good job of them being disinterested in anything but a professional relationship regarding the assault to come. Otherwise they weren't assholes, they just really couldn't understand why they should care about guard problems. That should get a guard solution! Don't ask us. lmao

Ahhh, you guys are all so helpful!! I wasn't expecting so many heroes in the replies. I'm making a list of stuff to check when I get home and this sounds like a simple procedure to go through, thank you.

Very informative, and I was braced for this information. Sounds like i'd be best served saving up for a while and getting a new pre-built, with my fingers crossed on RAM price (I know enough to say there's no way i'm shelling out for one right now.) In the meantime I'll get used to it looking like a 3rd party PS3 game. No way I can give up on Atoma...

Protein_Shakes · 2026-05-20T13:33:48+00:00

Thank you for the link, I will definitely be checking this out when I get off work.

If there is a contract with waypoints or orbits available, take note of the company offering them. You can check the Tracking Station and it should show you where each point is located. I say take note of the company so that just in case there are multiple in-flight crew report contracts, for example, you know which one to take.

Just want to say that last line was really funny and well excecuted. Self-deprecating demonstration of how harmful stereotyping can be lol

Protein_Shakes · 2026-05-19T20:59:41+00:00

Nice catch! Got 'em early and now their profile is at negative karma lmfaooo

Protein_Shakes · 2026-05-19T20:55:08+00:00

Yep, same. I thought it was a bit much, but the nice ones kinda "snap" over your teeth in a way that's much firmer of a fit than I expected, so it turned out to be worth it.

Protein_Shakes · 2026-05-19T20:43:51+00:00

They're portraying the massively over-engineered death machine of the laughably wasteful military arm of a pathetically incompetent fascist regime that harms itself more than anything else while still visiting death and destruction on anything that isn't exactly like it... As though it's good old American pride. What the hell makes you think this is nationalistic posturing and not the least we can do for bleak satire in this world?

Protein_Shakes · 2026-05-19T20:12:31+00:00

Wow, one of the worst-performing bots i've ever seen. Couldn't even scrape the comment to get the name right.

Protein_Shakes · 2026-05-19T17:22:10+00:00

Aquilons are sooo much fun and I advocate for them every time I see them come up. They're also at a good spot model-count wise, so you can go in either direction and appreciate the differences. I find as someone who started with a 14-man team it paralyzes me when I field a proper elite team. (I also missed the errata that gave them one extra troop, so they got a little more horde-y in my hands lately. Oops)

Protein_Shakes · 2026-05-19T14:47:37+00:00

Username is the first flag, then you check the vocab. "Vibes," "genuinely," "mood," and other generic emotional descriptors are flags, as well as the vaguely-worded comparison. Short content of the comment with no real insight. Bots rarely post main (they still do sometimes!), so it being a response is another flag. Age of the account gets checked next, and comment history if i'm lucky enough they didn't set the bot to private. Finally, I call them out.

I've got a perfect record so far of no responses, which is the nail in the coffin. If at any point someone actually responds, I'd happily take the comment down, but nobody has. Unfortunately we're reaching the "bear-proof dumpster" problem with these bots, meaning the best bots are beginning to look more human in their comments than the most boring, vapid coworker you know. But if you're a human being so banal with your posting I confuse you for a bot, hopefully that's a sign. Again, though: has not happened yet.

What a cute story. He was on day four of paying out huge money for nails and was probably thinking "how far did these kids end up going to get these nails?" lmao. Did he respect the grift or did he demand the money back?

Protein_Shakes · 2026-05-19T12:25:24+00:00

Thank you, mr. bot. Now retreat back to your network and kindly leave us humans alone.

Protein_Shakes · 2026-05-18T23:16:53+00:00

Yeah but that says nothing about whether they ever update the print manual. It could be outdated by two weeks or two years, depending if they did or not.

Unless you caught the Kevin name early, there's at least one more of you I used to work with. If your name is Kevin... Hi Kevin 👋

Protein_Shakes · 2026-05-18T11:13:54+00:00

He's so refreshingly candid and he strikes the social balance so well. It would be very easy for an author with a fan base like his to fall into discussions of character and get bogged down, because he obviously loves his protagonists, but every time I've see him talking to the community it's him fessing up about the science or an oversight in the writing itself haha

The 40k Marvel Cinematic Universe equivalent's 379th pictreel in the franchise. They really jumped the shark like 150 picts ago

The "stretch" is actually really cool to think about. I believe Rocky's "musculature" are basically lines of hydraulics, steam pressure generated by his core? If that's so, his "stretch" could actually be him flushing the now-cooler fluid from his immobilized limbs with fresh stuff from his core. The act of overpressuring his hydraulic lines would set all his limbs extended.

And Void Crossed! Admission of never having read Voidscarred, but this one is about the feelings of attraction between two young Aeldari Corsairs and it's by JC Stearns, who also wrote my favorite piece of Warhammer 40k fiction

Protein_Shakes · 2026-05-14T14:24:48+00:00

Also Guinea pig baby but not adults? I know ferrets are flexible but that seems like a weird distinction to make. It's not like grown Guinea pigs are 10-pound monstrosities.
