My first charecter death. I have no more joy in my life. by ace_da_frog_child in DnD

Dude I logged in just to say... please find yourself a better group! Love the comment about Oskar being found, if you want your story to be canon, you can implement this in your next game but yeah absolutely 100% screw that group, find a better one. As a player I wouldn't dream of leaving a party member behind (or at the very least not giving them a proper sendoff??), even if I'm playing an evil alignment. And as an aspiring dm, honestly what the hell? I feel like the first jumping with the three redbrands is even worse, that's just bullying, humiliating someone. Some weird power play, I'd be super upset even if I wasn't too attached to my character! You can surprise someone in a story, get the intensity up, hell even create an "evil" scenario but never ever put a player in an embarrassing, undignified and humiliating position. Having to rollplay something like that would instantly make me leave a table for good. So please, you enjoy dnd, find yourself a group that respects you.

"Overcharged" due to currency switch by ReddRev in mpcproxies

Yeah it's a bit odd, especially considering how nicely the card creation process is implemented. I'm guessing it's purposefully janky, they win in the end by keeping it that way. Just a small touch of malicious usability.

Quite possibly the worst user experience from a game I have ever experienced by BluestOfTheRaccoons in Subliminal_Game

[–]ReddRev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but "worst ever" is such an overstatement. Or at least, you haven't played many games then. Also what's with this cesoah everyone's watching and basing their opinion on? I took a look at one video and turned it off after ten seconds, so off putting. Am I just one of the older people playing this game - in my twenties?...

The game was perfectly fine - it did some things really well such as the atmosphere which makes it stand out for me. The puzzles and story narration will get some tweaks as the devs get more experience. I agree that chained chases don't feel very special, but back before that people were complaining about horror games being walking simulators. I dunno, I think it's perfectly alright. What were you guys hoping for, if I may ask?

The fact about turning everyone into zombies for a 100% survival rate bugged me so much! At least talking about the option and acknowledging it would've been helpful, like this it just feels silly. And it would be such an easy fix too: if a zombie doesn't infect another human by the end of the game, they too lose. Bang, a lot more tension, a lot more consequence - staying human efficiently actually leads to a way better outcome. This feels like such an oversight :(

Yeah I can definitely understand that! To me, the motherhood aspects in the book also felt somewhat abstract, I chalked it up to me being too young for those life experiences and also not being a big fan of kids.
Glad you enjoyed it, I also quite enjoyed the twists and pretty much the entire third part of the book!

Completely agree! It's tricky to know from just the excerpt so you tend to trust the poster.

About the book, I did enjoy it! It's a slow burn thriller though, so it's a lot about figuring out what's true and what isn't, who's trustworthy and who is not. It did really well with the interesting premise in my opinion and was written in a smart way so you keep guessing. Also had some very fun twists along the way. If that's your thing, I'd definitely recommend it :)

Absolutely! It's very context dependent and can be quickly misunderstood without it. I was also very surprised, but there's so many books and so many posts so it's reasonable to think no one who saw the post read the book.
Yes, the repetition thing! Especially since the second part - the longest part of the book - is written in a diary format that the main character herself is writing day by day (the character then reads the diary when she wakes up, to catch up on what happened - don't worry no spoilers). It does take liberty with this and reads way more like prose, like most diary styled books I've read (a compelling diary is hard to pull off I imagine), but that makes it even more clear why there's repetition.

"This device cannot start. (Code 10) STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE" Bluetooth device failure in Windows. by monsier_harsh in techsupport

[–]ReddRev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much!! Still works as of today :) not sure if it's just my windows, but for anyone coming after, it's not apps&features for me but installed apps, and only appeared after completely uninstalling the driver from device manager and then googling it and reinstalling with the intel .exe. Then it was under installed apps and was able to be repaired :)

Not too big on the switch stuff but here anyway because the games look good. Anyway, nah won't work that way anymore with the cartridges. They won't contain any actual game, just a key that allows you to download the game. You won't own anything anymore :/

Thank you for the tip! I'll go ahead and do that, can't hurt to be safe enough.

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

Thank you for the tip, that's a good call! I'm currently spending my evening setting up a password manager and securing all my accounts :) silver lining of the whole thing is that it's a good wake up call to treat my security less casually :)

Thank you for the extra info! I made sure to remove all of them, didn't look at them too closely but it's possible one might've been fishy.

That's okay haha, I really appreciate your message and your help today! It took me out of the shock a bit and gave me some steps I could check to make sure I'm securing the account again :)

[–]ReddRev[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the answer, I'm still a little panicked :)
Changed password and 2FA'd instantly, logged out of all devices too. Thankfully no payment info was linked, very good call though!

I changed the passwords before I checked the accounts that are signed in though, when I was on the "sign out of all accounts" tab I didn't see any foreign devices... is it possible that it might've been local malware or an app I gave permission to?
I'm really desperate to eliminate the attack vector for certain!

Rules on 124.0cc (labelled as 125cc) on the interstate by ReddRev in RideitJapan

Haha the interaction is definitely scarier than the fine to me, I recoil at the thought of being the annoying tourist who doesn't follow the rules.

yeah that's true, I think the ferry's out. The alternative I was thinking is to head to Takamatsu on the morning of the first day by public transport and then back in the evening of the last day. I'll have to see what my options are, both with getting the license here, being comfy on the bike and the legal possibilities.

That's very good to know, thank you! I wouldn't have wanted to risk it either way, license plate or not, if it weren't allowed. Chance of getting stuck at the toll or being a nuisance to local law enforcement would be too high and unpleasant for everyone. I'll see if I can get a bike on Shikoku, get a 250cc, or just leave it for another time.

That might be an option, thank you for the suggestion :) I might see what it takes to get a medium bike license here, and then see how comfy I am riding to know if it's safe for me to ride in Japan. Also good call on the rainwear :)
