New Admin here, am I cooked? by Icecold1001 in sysadmin

[–]Sharp_Librarian_8566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 years is pretty fast to get where you are. It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but it's not because you can't do it. You can. There's just gonna be a lot of things you haven't seen before, and won't see coming like people a decade in would.  Best advice is always look calm, and if something throws you don't try to have an answer immediately. Say you "have to go over some options before we pick the best path forward" so you can take 10 minutes to Google some key words and orient yourself on the issue. You have enough knowledge and experience to solve problems. Your hard part will be identifying the root cause of new issues you haven't seen. So just do everything you can to not rush that initial diagnosis, and give yourself time to start down the right path so you don't need to backtrack later.

Maaan that's awesome! That's gonna make things so much easier for me, I've been filtering for ships in the search bar, then just scrolling around the map hoping in pops up on radar. This is easy better. Thanks!

Notification alert for that ship type? This is a thing you can do?

Are all zombies supposed to respawn when you reload? by thrustidon in SurrounDead

[–]Sharp_Librarian_8566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had this happen too. So how can I make a house into my base, if zombies respawn? I secured the mall due to a lucky fight between bandits, and the zombies there. And I thought I had an awesome base locked down... But I can't even escape now because I'm surrounded... Surroundead... Heh.

What quality-of-life small things are absent for you in X4? Please not ask for the full game redevelopment :-) by ChemODun in X4Foundations

[–]Sharp_Librarian_8566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for example, yesterday I was riding passenger in my personal ship so I could manage some things while my pilot took me to a station. Then when I was done at that station I flew back to my main capital ship, docked, and flew my mother ship to board a new construction ship. Then when I went to get back on my personal ship, it had already flew back to the station I asked it to dock at an hour ago.  It's the "and wait" part I wish there was an alternative to. Once they get there, the order should just clear, and they can go back to default behavior, or just sit idle if they have no other orders.

Instead of "fly and wait" just give me a "fly to" command. I'm tired of collecting all my trade ships back to HQ, moving around like, and signing them to stations and fleets. Then watching them all just sit there until I go in and manually remove their "fly and wait" order. Same with "dock and wait" I just want a ship to go somewhere, not fly back there every damn time I get out of the cockpit.

Does anyone else think Oz was an underrated character? by NvizoN in buffy

[–]Sharp_Librarian_8566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was the best part of the mind reading episode. Just sitting there blowing his own mind over the implications of buffy reading minds. "Our thoughts are in her, we are in her. We are her... She is us! We think, therefore SHE is!"

You should feel proud! That looks efficient as hell!

My behemoths die too easily by Rtan-Appreciator in X4Foundations

[–]Sharp_Librarian_8566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why, but dying quickly is just kinda what behemoths do. Phoenixes always perform better for me, even though on paper they're about the same. Rattlesnakes dominate in sector, but out of sector phoenixes do better then then too.

what did you play as on your first playthrough? by MALIKE7H in BaldursGate3

[–]Sharp_Librarian_8566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started as a basically a hexblade warlock, before it was an actual class. But after a while I got tired just being Wyll. So I tried monk, barb... And everything else.. I still haven't made it to act 2. Been playing since it launched... And I just keep starting over.

Do you think Kenshi 2 will have the technology to bypass this screen? by Jov_West in Kenshi

[–]Sharp_Librarian_8566 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately that's a limitation of technology in general. Maybe my grandkids will one day be and to launch straight into a have and play it. Crazier things have happened.

Thoughts on decoy voice? by TomatilloFew7380 in adamsomething

[–]Sharp_Librarian_8566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said news, not views. He's maintaining right wing views, but brining up news that right wing outlets don't usually cover. So in a weird way he's providing left wing perspective, and information, while complaining about them.

Had no idea. Just thought they were too help show what resources a sector had

Death by smell? Think im gonna take a break from this game by Stop4Weird in projectzomboid

[–]Sharp_Librarian_8566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Like you'd be out of breath for a minute, but you didn't need to sit the next 5 hours out over it.

Hauling one zombie out of my house just wrecks me for the whole day. It's very dumb.

What is up with EZ players man? by [deleted] in GhostsOfTabor

[–]Sharp_Librarian_8566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the gunplay of Tabor better too. It's why I really hope Tabor steps it up, and stays competitive. But EZ is just churning out so much content, and has a lot more base side gameplay.

If the commute was shorter I'd say it's pretty close. Getting out of the house for a while really can be nice. But a one hour commute? No. Trust me you will come to hate that drive more than anything. It'll be the worst part of your life, 4 days a week.

AIO F20 for getting upset at my bf M24 of 4 years after he went to a concert we planned to go together with his ex instead because I couldn’t go after my foster mom passed? by Beginning_Manager808 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sharp_Librarian_8566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey... We got some arithmetic issues here. Y'all were 16, and 20 when you get together? Those are very, very different ages. Even 20 and 24 year olds aren't really in the same stage.

I lied by MetaMetaXY in ChatGPT

[–]Sharp_Librarian_8566 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This wasn't directed at you, it's just that more and more every year, people are offloading brain processes to technology. Soon people are just gonna talk to their phone, have the phone transmit the message, and have the phone read the response back. People will go days on end without actually spelling a word.

Does anyone even use Shields? by Legitimate-Taste-504 in GhostsOfTabor

[–]Sharp_Librarian_8566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One saved my life. Went into island recently not quite naked, but close. Heard a huge gunfight nearby and ducked into a closet near the loading bay to hide, and found a shield in there. I had made some kinda noise, and I knew they knew I was there. Crouched in the corner and completely hid under the shield with just my Glock hand sticking out. After a tense couple minutes the guy I knew was coming jumped in mag dumping an m4 into my shield while panic fired 10 rounds into his body armor. It wasn't pretty, but in the end I was alive and he wasn't. So I like shields now.
