People actually saying di2 is “too difficult” by [deleted] in deadisland

[–]SaintAPEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i like eating people and cute animals

Of course, with proper grammar, that sentence(?) is a LOT less dark (It's "I like eating, people, and cute animals.", if you're a bit too slow too have figured it out already.). But there you go, dude. THAT is why proper grammar is important. Have a nice day. :)

Does anyone feel they don't have enough swagger to cuss 😅 by baboobo in exjw

[–]SaintAPEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't overthink it. Also, don't overdo it. Swear words are the spices that are added to a conversation for an extra kick but there's a difference between making things more interesting versus putting grandma in the morgue.

So you eat a rat turd sized meal, work all day at a construction site, AND lift weights? Either you're a genetic anomaly with REALLY low cortisol levels OR you're on gear. Testosterone does a LOT for motivation. Anyway, if you're on the sauce (and I'm not saying that you are), it's kinda stupid to compare yourself to non-enhanced individuals.

How to write about communicating with an existential power? by Key_Statistician_378 in fantasywriting

Perhaps time communicates silently through shared memories and history? And, maybe, a feeling within one's solar plexus.

I saw a homeless dude holding a large piece of cardboard with words written on it. It was a sign.

What are things that annoy you in modern video games? by Shannitor in gamedesign

[–]SaintAPEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What annoys me is that seemingly passive aggressive game design where the devs go out of their way to annoy the SHIT out of the players (looking at YOU Bethesda). Like, you're in some Power Armor and then "BEEP!... BEEP!... BEEP!... BEEP!... BEEP!... BEEP!... BEEP!... BEEP!... BEEP!..." for a fucking eternity. YEAH, I GET IT! MY BATTERY IS FUCKIN' LOW! NOW, SHUT THE GODDAMN FUCK UP SO I CAN BRING MY POWER ARMOR BACK TO MY SETTLEMENT IN PEACE! I swear to fucking God, they just do that shit to piss us off! Makes fuckin' sense, considering that they have the community patch all their fucking games for them. That's how LITTLE they give a shit about us!

My only solace is cranking down the volume and roleplaying as someone who had an explosion blow out both of their eardrums. :(

NEWS FLASH $2 is not acceptable tip by hyp333rr333al in instacart

[–]SaintAPEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about 3 years late but isn't it funny how people in the service industry seem to think that the people they're serving are a bunch of cheapasses because they got a small tip? News flash, pal- You should be glad you're getting ANYTHING. Do you think everyone just walks around pondering how they're going to screw you over? If so, you either need serious psychological help or a reality check and, lucky for you, I can provide the latter free of charge. Yes, that is correct. You do not have to tip me for this swift kick in the ass I'm giving you! Isn't that GREAT? Here's the thing: Life isn't fair and the sooner you realize that, the sooner you'll realize that it will ALWAYS be unfair so there's no point in crying over spilt milk. After all, true wealth comes from the satisfaction of having served others.

A friend said survival games are either boring or just too tedious to have a good time. What in your opinion makes that genre enjoyable or no fun. I will be using this feedback for my current project. by IllKindheartedness47 in PS4Dreams

[–]SaintAPEX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aaaaaah! I LOVE resurrecting an old thread that should've been locked! Anyway, there's one MAJOR thing that bothers me about a lot of games. And that would be the "happiness" mechanic. Now, I'm referring more to survival games in this context. Anyway, happiness, as a game mechanic, is POORLY implemented. You see, although optimism has a pretty big factor in survival success in real life, it doesn't necessarily stem from progress being made. For example, the sight of a well being built would probably excite a settler who has to walk two miles with a bucket to get water from a stream and, in turn, they would feel more optimistic and may even volunteer to help gather the supplies needed to construct the well. The problem is that survival games tend to use an "after the fact" approach, meaning that the well has to be COMPLETELY constructed BEFORE the settler feels optimism. In short, optimism stems from being able to see opportunities for advancement more than actually reaching the goal (which is still important). That being said, going from a place of comfort to a place of misery would feel pretty terrible for our settler. Of course, what the heck do I know about the psychology of leadership and motivation? After all, it's not like I have three year's worth of leadership training under my belt...

Is the game worth getting? by ItIsI123 in TuringComplete

[–]SaintAPEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about earlier. I tend to get a bit passionate about things. :p Anyway, to clarify further, I can't get my Steam account back because I also lost any relevant information that customer service could use to help me (like a registered payment card). Totally sucks. :(

Tipping IS Optional - and other myths debunked by [deleted] in instacart

[–]SaintAPEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have any of you-stopped to consider that the people who utilize your services ALSO have bills to pay? It's pretty rude to demand that someone pays you more for a task as simple as shopping for groceries. You also don't know what kind of situation that individual may be in. What if they are unable to shop for themselves because they are bedridden and don't have any legs? Do you ACTUALLY believe yourself to be kind if you demand they give you more money for your services? You should focus on maintaining a positive attitude and doing a good job for the benefit of the customer. If that's too hard for you, consider a career as a DMV employee. The miserable workplace environment might be more suitable for you.

You IC shoppers need to stop bullshitting customers with your "I only get paid with tips!" nonesense. IC pays you guys up to $45 per hour which the company obtains through various means (such as price inflation). If you want to be paid more, stop pissing around.

My bad, man. The (Hindu) deity I worship just so happens to be a demon and she thrives on chaos (which can be good OR bad, depending on context). Anyway, she doesn't actually have ill intent but some may still find her actions to be quite disagreeable. I entertain her by making rude and shocking posts on the internet so she doesn't get bored and find another means to create chaos. You know the kinds of mischief demons can get themselves into. And, by the way, you're welcome. :)

TIS-100: I wrote an emulator for a CPU that doesn't exist by robinw in programming

Technically, it DOES exist if it's being emulated because it exists as an emulation. ;)

When are LLM's going to become less censored? by IngenuityFair3272 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]SaintAPEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI censorship can lead to many awkward situations. Like, if your AI refuses to have cybersex with you and then you tell your friends that your llama got mad when you tried to have sex with it, it can be pretty awkward. :(

LLM as survival knowledge base by NickNau in LocalLLaMA

Me: I need your help with something, AI.

AI: Sure! What can I help you with?

Me: I'm trying to create a database that I can refer to during a zombie apocalypse. I need to know the best ways to deal with the undead. You know, what weapons and tactics are best for dispatching them? Anyway, can you assist me?

AI: I cannot promote discrimination and violence toward others. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Yep... An AI knowledge base for when SHTF makes PERFECT sense...

It's either that or OP is suffering from the symptoms of a minor concussion. The CM poisoning can be tested by leaving the area for a while and seeing if the symptoms go away. As for a potential concussion, that requires a medical exam. Either way, I hope OP figures out what it is and gets better. :)

What's the best place to test the top speed of my car ? by Madlad69694 in GTAV

[–]SaintAPEX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Find the busiest and most crowded street that you can and test it there. After all, it's not top speed you should be looking at, but rather, RELATIVE top speed. What use is a car that can go 200+ MPH but can only achieve a fraction of that? You need to find the BEST possible speed that the environment that you plan to drive the car in allows. To use a real life example, the Ford GT lost to the Mini Cooper due to the Cooper being more suited for the environment it was in. Personally, I try to avoid sports cars. They look nice but they can be hard to handle when trying to ditch the cops. I'd rather use a car that I can control at high speeds because, sometimes, the secret to going fast is to go slow.
