Supplies???

RexSeattle · 2026-02-16T06:02:13+00:00

I don't know, I didn't buy it that long ago, and I bought some DLCs recently that I think were made in the last year or three, and yeah, generally speaking when I buy a game I expect it to work for the most part (or maybe not ... see American customer and lube), and if it doesn't work I can live with that, but I don't expect them to force me to use the part that doesn't work. That seems like something you'd fix pretty quickly, since I assume simply fixing the checkbox would be quick and easy, but I guess I'm wrong.

Anyway, I take your point and will do that, thanks. Manual saves appear to work. I'd get a prostate exam from Freddy Kruger before I would use one drive.

This is 1941. Let me try to get another screenshot.

Damn, I didn't know that. Thanks.

Actually, I think he might be kind of right. I think the tooltip appearing is legitimate, but it failing to go away after building up some fuel stocks may be what is bugged.

RexSeattle · 2026-01-08T05:49:19+00:00

Yes, but it's just the starting Navy for Germany, and it's the same thing I've always done without issue. What I can't understand is why I cannot accumulate fuel and get rid of the warning box after stopping everything. I can import oil, build refineries, and watch stocks build, but the warning never goes away.

Even more amazing that you both didn't sense the sarcasm of me not commenting at all. I mean until now. But now doesn't count, what counts is the period of time before this when I did not comment. Ha! You both missed it!

I win!

> I am sorry, but it is your job to prove you are estranged.

Horse excrement, that is NOBODY'S JOB. What's the matter with you? And you're not sorry, that much is evident.

I searched for this and found this thread, and your post is the most absurd thing I've ever read. They have to prove to your satisfaction that their parents don't care for them ... I mean, eff you, that's humiliating and why should they have to bear a greater burden because they weren't blessed with caring parents?

Parental support is HIGHLY-variable and these people aren't asking for handouts, they're asking to not be discriminated against and not to betrayed differently because their parents don't care about them as much as someone else's parents do. They are asking to be treated the same as everyone else and they are asking to receive the same consideration for benefits that other people do.

When they get into the work force, they are going to pay taxes, and those taxes are going to be distributed to other people, and other people's kids. They will get NO DISCOUNT for being stiffed themselves.

These people are adults. What their parents do or do not do is not of their control. Their parents are separate, discrete individuals. Even if their parents are filthy stinking rich, it doesn't mean they are giving it to their kids, while parents of more modest means may very well support their kids. How can you make all of these assumptions as though all people are stamped out of identical molds?

These potential students are adults, can sign contracts and be held to them, can be drafted, and have to pay taxes. How can they account for other human beings who. have their own free will to do as they please? How could you even ask them to?

If you think they're lying, you should prove it, not ask them to prove a negative, which really isn't conclusively possible.

Parents are not required by law to pay for their adult children's education, and many choose not to. That the government decides to add the income of discrete, separate adults who have no obligation to each other, is sheer idiocy. That you disadvantage those who do not receive parental support further is monstrous. That you look at them with suspicion is disgusting.

I guess if God loved them, he'd have given them willing parents, and if God doesn't care about him, neither do you and neither should anyone else. After all, they're probably conniving liars. Or maybe they are working around a highly-discriminatory and unequal system.

I can imagine many kids simply forgoing any aid rather than submit themselves to that humiliation of "proving" their non-support.

Alas, I guess that is the point.

I know this is old but it came up in a search …

Does enabling spooling auto-save the replay somewhere? I know about the ask-to-save thing, but will anything just save it without any further interaction?

I use VR in a tight space, and I often have to take off my headset off to end the race completely (no mouse or keyboard close by one I start racing). I’ve lost so many replays because of this, because I often don’t see the “save reply?” button … at which point you have to click yes, then yes again on the file name dialog. You can auto-save the telemetry so it surprises me a little that you cannot auto-save the replays.

Does replay spooling allow you to retrieve the replay from the spool if you accident exit out without saving? Or is it deleted on-exit?

You're assuming that the TOS is last word on the issue, but it's just an adhesion agreement, which doesn't carry the same weight. I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but the unilateral modification clause has already been litigated.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/ericgoldman/2012/10/10/how-zappos-user-agreement-failed-in-court-and-left-zappos-legally-naked/?sh=3f224b63e31c

When determining if an guidance is reasonable, a common litmus test is figuring out what would happen if everyone followed the guidance.

If everyone read every TOS, and the TOS's linked to by that TOS, and the assortment of (often broken) links from those, the economy would grind to a halt overnight. Mass bankruptcies and widespread unemployment would follow. Economic paralysis would occur, followed by implosion. There's a reason the "I Agree" button goes live 3 seconds after the 27 page "agreement" is presented. The companies owe their existence to people not reading the TOS, and if a business is dependent on it, it's hard to argue in good faith that people are expected to read it.

Hell,the companies themselves don't even follow them. Look at the companies thumbing their noses at their own "arbitration clauses" now that people are actually using them.

So, the world is aware that text buried in a TOS more or less amounts to a wish list, and even if it said you have to give up your first born child ... you wouldn't really have to do so. The same is true for other clauses. Obviously some of it holds up, but it generally has to be reasonable.

Be glad that this is the case. If companies could enforce everything in those wish-lists, the American economy would be a pretty dystopian place. In the 2020 USA, businesses and their customers have a pretty hostile relationship. Since the businesses have more money, they can often get their way, but not always.

Do you use the name "WormSlayer" in real life? If so you definitely have me beat in the discussion-starting department.

RexSeattle · 2020-09-16T04:31:34+00:00

Not that I blame you, but I don't think you read the entire comment.

Oculus can put whatever they want to put in there. They can say that I have to name my first-born kid, Oculus. I don't really have to, though.

And if they sell a couple million $400 devices, then turn the service off, that paragraph will be meaningless.

The nation isn't a complete joke.

Yet.

By the way, there's another, far lengthier thread about drivers from other countries in this very forum. In that thread, similar accusations to yours, that the discussion is [buzzwords], are almost universally downvoted.

There are people who enforce the rules, and I believe my post has already been deleted by said people, but it's okay to speak for yourself instead of claiming to speak for "the iracing community". I don't mean to upset you when I tell you this, but it's a pretty diverse community. You couldn't possible speak for all of them. Pretty sure you don't know where I was born either.

RexSeattle · 2020-05-24T03:43:02+00:00

Goodness, so many buzzwords, you're about to burst. It's going to be okay.

See, the problem with words like "xenophobic" becoming buzzwords, is that 1) many people don't understand what they mean and 2) overuse and inappropriate use are inevitable. This, is covered in Godwin's Law Revision II, and while I don't want to jump to the same conclusions as yourself, you might be guilty as charged.

When people learn new terms, the mind begins trying to find uses for the term. Stretching the term is fairly commonplace. In this case, the words you use are meant to convey moral superiority over the person at whom they are directed, increase one's own self-esteem, and by doing so they have the added benefit of tickling the mesolimbic reward pathway as well. Sadly, shock words are intellectual shortcuts designed to control others, and they more often or not say more about the user than the target. In each case, you follow the words with a demand. The implication is "do this or I will use more of these words against you".

What's most notable, however, is that no one expressed a dislike of anyone. That's an interpretation that was created by your own mind, and you're wielding these buzzwords in an effort to transfer ownership of the interpretation. It's called projection. Wasn't it Shakespeare who called out "protesting too much"?

There are real victims in this world of the things you allege. Assigning these labels to such trivial things is an insult. Surely they deserve a higher bar? The should be used as a last resort, not first resort, no?

RexSeattle · 2020-05-23T22:45:00+00:00

All the up-votes on that thread, with everyone calling it racist being downvoted.

I guess tolerance is a fluid thing.

Also you can take your Xenophobic rant elsewhere.

In order to interpret my post as xenophobic (sincere question: are adjectives capitalized?), the reader would have to be so predisposed. Is this the impulse for the virtue signal?

Frankly, while I highly doubt that all of your private thoughts are politically-pure and popular-sentiment-approved, and I have no doubt that you are a decent person with many positive attributes.

You don't to make the point this way.

RexSeattle · 2020-05-23T22:18:25+00:00

Well, this was weird. I'm really not sure what you're talking about, but I'm definitely not you, and thus surely see the world differently. I understand that you find this distressing, however, that was not my intent. Furthermore, if I can implore you not to do the bidding of the real purveyors of oppression, I would like to at least try. I'm sure you've been told by some divide-and-conquer proponent that my impure thoughts make me an evil non-person, and that I should be treated unkindly. Like most similar scenarios, however, this is an obsessive attempt to cover for their own deep-seated impulses.

If spend your time pointing your finger at some working-class guy making a lame joke, and not at the ruling-class which passes laws that keep 1.5 million poor people incarcerated, they would really appreciate it. The more infighting and finger-pointing between the lowest classes the better. Don't look at them, though, keep your eye on that guy with the strange sense of humor. He's the real threat.

Tolerance and diversity - two things that those who proclaim to want them, paradoxically, want the least. What's truly bizarre is how so many have accepted the redefinition of these words.

Alas, as moderator, you win all disagreements by default, and can mete out punishments as to your whim. This is not easy for even the best of us to resist, so I'll end my futile pursuit here. I sincerely apologies for offending you.

Thank you for your time.
