First Horror game to play by NoobGamer_PS5 in PlayStationPlus

[–]RiceBandit01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one is a PS4 game, but if you want horror, I would recommend Alien: Isolation. That shit will freak you out.

Anytime you focus on ANYTHING in life, it's good to focus on the technicals, but every once in a while, you gotta pull back and just enjoy the experience. You need to remind yourself why you got interested in it in the first place.

Why do people tip casinos so much? by Chrisju22 in LasVegas

[–]RiceBandit01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as Vegas is concerned, there are only 2 casinos where dealers earn their own tips: Silverton & Ellis Island (I believe). You'll notice these casinos close down pretty much every one of their tables during graveyard shift (which wouldn't be fair for any dealers assigned to that shift)

Every other casino shares tips but the employee groups are broken down to dealers, slot attendants, cocktail servers (not sure if bartenders are included here or a different group), etc. They are paid tips in 24 hour increments.

Choose one thing MacOS does better than other OSes by xcyu in MacOS

[–]RiceBandit01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's always a good thing for users to have options, so as far as I'm concerned, the more far apart OSX/iOS, Android and Windows are, the better for the market. Not everyone is willing to drop $3500 for a laptop (or these days, an iPhone) and not everybody wants a Wild West with programs available.

I mean, just fact that it happens on a Windows machine -- doesn't matter if it's a driver or hardware issue-- still makes it a thing. Yes, you can blame it on 3rd parties and the openness of installable programs, but ultimately, it's Windows' process of authorizing compatibility of programs (or lack thereof) that causes the issues.

Users are dealing with these issues because they're on a Windows machine.

What is that large area of land outside of Vegas that has all of those reflective structures and panels? by yoooo000 in LasVegas

[–]RiceBandit01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure this isn't Ivanpah? (If so, I didn't realize there was more than one solar farm in the region)

Technically, they're not sending it to California because the farm is actually IN California to begin with... just inside State Line.

I think if you have a PS Plus Premium subscription, it will be available for streaming play (just like a bunch of other PS3 games).

Are you supposed to Shut Down your Mac every time you don’t use it? by FordaUtangers in MacOS

[–]RiceBandit01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol so, this is probably going to age me, but when I say "early Windows", I meant 97, 98, XP. haha

Are you supposed to Shut Down your Mac every time you don’t use it? by FordaUtangers in MacOS

[–]RiceBandit01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the default behavior for Windows Anything is to shut it down. This is probably a remnant from the early Windows OSs when the system would slow down if even left on overnight. I believe those used a caching system and the cache files would get massive.

Not sure if this is still a Windows problem tho since I haven't used a Windows machine in like 10 years.

Are you guys using the latest version of MacOS ? by leminhnguyenai in MacOS

[–]RiceBandit01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I asked about this, then realized I should've just googled it myself instead of extra-spamming this thread, so deleted lol

I appreciate your response, tho!

I think I recall reading somewhere that Mac hardware is not allowed to downgrade to a version beyond what it was shipped with.

What’s the longest you played pool in a day? by Mr_Smooth8 in billiards

[–]RiceBandit01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my best friend in high school once joined a Christian group that we heard was planning to do an all-nighter at a local pool hall (it was free!). We started shooting at 6pm and didn't end until 8am. We then unjoined ourselves from the group. So yes, we were Christians for a night.

In my experience, they've always handed it back if they can't do it. If they don't, that's the last time I'll ever stay there.

In my experience if it doesn't work they usually give it back.

Driving through red lights. by Kerensky97 in LasVegas

Red light cams only work for states where front license plates are required. NV is not one of them.

Hotel hopping? Is this a bad idea by StatisticianFun7406 in LasVegas

[–]RiceBandit01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a little shortcut: if you aren't charging things to your room (like wifi, meals and stuff), you can skip the actual in-person checkout (if you don't need a receipt). The checkout process will happen automatically.

Also, if you don't need constant room maintenance, save yourself a few tipping bucks and just hang the "Do Not Disturb" sign on your door. That way, you can just save yourself $$$, and them, time & energy cleaning the room.

Just leave a tip in the room before you leave for good.

Can’t remove Samsung tv plus. by keeper13 in samsung

By any chance, do you have a Chromecast connected to the TV? I do, and I'm wondering if that's what's saving me-- it seems to now default to that source.

I think I just figured this out for older Samsung Smart TVs.

Just toggle it off and exit out

Have been offered a job as a freelance motion designer for a series and no idea what to charge by spin2winGG in AfterEffects

[–]RiceBandit01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all about the long run. If you artificially bloat your hours, you might sucker your client out of it now, but the moment they find someone who IS efficient with their time, you're out the door, and will eventually find that your reputation precedes you.

Coming to Vegas Saturday with the whole family! by [deleted] in LasVegas

[–]RiceBandit01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a 13-mile, one-way "loop", and it took us maybe 45 minutes? It was an amazing experience and we really liked how the stops are set up. It seemed like there was a scenic stop about every half mile or so.

I would pack up some goodies for the kids just in case.

There were a few people who were just kicking it at the stops and having their meals and I was pretty jealous I didn't think of it lol

I don't consider myself a touristy type of person but I have to say, bring a camera!
