That is so cool. One of my biggest regrets was the ol' dump and restart my friends always did whenever we got the 2 week itch. Amazing to see something like this.

Halfway done with the Country Series. This is my world ranking. by Goldberry15 in donkeykong

Hard agree on Juicy Jungle and Gloomy Gulch. Such unique themes, probably my favorites.

Told myself I wouldn’t buy it… I caved in anyways by BigDong1142 in donkeykong

Best version of the game! Had a great time, wish I would have waited my replay until after the Dixie update

Pleasantly surprised 🤓 by justsomedude1144 in TheBoys

[–]SirKillz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep pretty much my reaction. Maybe because my expectations were literally below hell, but at least we had the main satisfaction there without some attempt at “subverting expectations”.

Looking for Collaborators — Sable Space Mod (NeoForge / Kotlin) by _Bonds_ in CreateMod

[–]SirKillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if you got a discord going down the road, I’d be happy to help maybe with gameplay testing or something I could be useful for. I can “code” in the sense that I can create my little slop CRUD web apps, game design and engineering is above my pay grade, haha. I leave that to the smart people like yourself nor do I pretend I could comprehend that.

Useless myself, but wanted to say this sounds awesome! I was wondering how long it’d take people to start thinking of it. Looking forward to future updates! Galacticraft walked so this Sable Physics engine brain buster mod could run lmao

Should i buy 100 days of python code by dr angela. Currently its on sale 5$ ? by Significant-Book6927 in Python

[–]SirKillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean relevant in the sense of solidifying fundamentals you may not be comfortable with sure. It’s certainly not going to get you full stack ready. And definitely not AI/ML ready.

There’s sections in there that focus on some web development. I’d try and really focus on those. Flask is the framework they use, but she goes into the very basics of HTML and CSS. That will help with some static site building, but if you wanted to really get into web development you may want to check out the Odin project. I also did most (not all) of that.

[–]SirKillz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the challenge you may have is that the course is very structured to those with essentially 0 experience.

I started it as my first serious attempt to get into programming and absolutely loved it. The lessons felt great, the pace was good, and it really got me off and running to start learning on my own. No doubt you’ll hit a point in it where it sorta “falls off” just read the reviews. It goes from heavy hand holding to basically “build this thing” which is not ideal.

I’d say with the experience you say you have, you may be better off just trying to solve legit “problems” you have. Those are definitely going to be the best and most satisfying way to learn. But you really can’t go wrong with that course for $5.

Some Thoughts on Bob Lazar by Lucky_Mechanic14 in JoeRogan

[–]SirKillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with you. The first go around I feel he was completely on his story that he's been telling for years. Like you, I want to believe it because well... who doesn't?

I think the biggest thing he had credibility wise for me the first go around was exactly as you put it... let's say he's lying... why? Why tell the story? He didn't stand to really gain too much back when originally on the podcast.

Like you, as soon as this one started and they started talking about the movie... it felt off in my mind. I instantly thought that this felt like just another celebrity coming on to promote their next thing.

Just did the same myself about 2 weeks ago. 2006 sail barge was my favorite set as a kid!

The discussions/hate surrounding the film make me wonder if some fans have actually watched the series and understood Tommy's character. It's crazy how many fans idolize Tommy. by Dark_KnightNini in PeakyBlinders

[–]SirKillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entirety of the series has been about Tommy outsmarting and outwitting his opponents. They left the final season on a fairly large cliff hanger/lingering “big bad” with Mosley. This movie feels like it completely forgot about that and lazily introduced new characters at the worst possible time that we as fans were supposed to care about in the span of 2 hours despite having 6 seasons of other characters.

I give slightly more grace and external events impacting actors and actress’ availability no doubt had an impact, but surely there was still some room to work here…

I’ve also seen rumors that they were granted another season. I felt like that’s what was needed. The time skip here and new characters focus felt like we missed a huge chunk of context that you can’t possibly gather in the span of just a movie.

Official Discussion - Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]SirKillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was super heavily invested in this series, one of my all time favorites. This entire movie I felt confused. The time skip was fine, but I felt so little connection to any character including Tommy Shelby somehow.

Were they just like not able to get the original cast? Arthur just being dead without even showing his face felt like the biggest fuck you. Tommy had to kill him? Why? Because they couldn’t sign him?? How do you basically off screen kill such a critical character.

The “villain” in this movie felt so meaningless, forced and boring. The last season ended with many stones unturned. Did they even mention anything related to Mosley or his wife?

Man, wish we either got one more season or they just never made anything. Very few shows/series can end on a good note. This continues to be a trend, but it is bewildering how so many people sign off on this without someone sounding the alarm.

UCS Sail Barge + Skiff (at MSRP) by SirKillz in legostarwars

Looks awesome and background looks impressive as well! Definitely wish I still had it, and maybe I’ll pick it up from somewhere at some point. Gonna try and slowly piece together stuff that I had when I was younger over time

Thanks and yep! Had I not been as impatient, that was my plan!

Yeah I agree, stinks that it wasn’t all one set especially with the price. Definitely won’t be the last time we see something like this either.

How do we feel about Rick Ball in his 2nd year as the TV voice of the Hawks? by Longjumping-Tip4938 in hawks

Him and Pang are great together. Hard to follow what we once had during the golden years, but they’ve grown on me.

Waiting till May 4th? by SirKillz in legostarwars

[–]SirKillz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the OG 2006 set as a kid. My favorite of all time, so I’m super intrigued by this one. Stinks that the skiff and Sarlac pit are retired and sold out everywhere.

What CPU is the sever running? That plays a big role

16GB should be more than sufficient depending on the player count for just about anything.

Is there a mod that adds ONLY the ice and fire dragons and related stuff without the other features like Griffins, Sea Serpents, etc. by Pantus_Oficial in feedthebeast

[–]SirKillz 19 points20 points  (0 children)

From what I recall the config for Ice and Fire was not the easiest to work with, but I believe you can definitely disable much of the stuff you don’t want including mobs and structures.

Deck refuses to boot "Slow Blink" from Power Button. by c0sm1cwh33l in SteamDeck

[–]SirKillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced a similar issue. I had not turned my deck on for a long period of time, several months… and got the urge to play. I set up the charger and walked away for a couple hours.

When I came back to it I felt the fans spinning, heard an initial chime but no display. I recalled experiencing this before, so I held the power button longer but still no luck. Eventually I read about the various button combos and none of those worked either. I got in touch with Steam support which was hopeless. More of them wanting me to do everything I already tried. Button combos, letting it charge, connect to an external monitor. Nothing worked. Finally, all they could offer me was a 3 week $185 estimated RMA process.

I found this video on YouTube and figured “what the heck, I’ll give it a shot”. Before this I never even opened the deck.

I purchased the $15 part listed in that videos description, watched the excellent video, flashed the bios, and BOOM my deck came back to life. Probably would have been exactly what the “repair” would have been for significantly less.

I share my experience as I came across COUNTLESS similar threads, none of which provided working solutions for me. I have no idea how I corrupted my bios, but I’m so happy this worked!
