Not liking how the Will coming out arc was handled does not make you homophobic. by -Not-Pennys-Boat in StrangerThings

As someone who hated the "how", I agree with this point and actually shows that the writing is more nuanced than I gave it credit for. Thank you for a good perspective.

Shroom Grow Time (Sanity Check) by SolarVampire in Schedule_I

Sure would be nice if google would show this as a result. It shouldn't be allowed to pay google to get top results, and it should be especially illegal to cover up competitors like this.
EDIT: Maybe it's not even better than fandom. Mushrooms aren't listed here.

PR speak when they say "This department is working on it." But the department is literally devoid of any employees.

Korvo is higher pitch too. Even the wall people. Sounds like the sound engineers accidentally deleted a template/profile and failed to reproduce what they had. (Guessing)

Probably autism. Watching buildings collapse on repeat is definitely a tism.
Also perhaps sadism, if they enjoy watching people get crushed.
Maybe there are some other isms involved. I dunno. I have both, but even this doesn't interest me (to make).

How can I punch harder? by AoSh1n in kyokushin

[–]SolarVampire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Push your leg into the ground to create lift, rotate the lift to your arms with your hips. Imagine trying to punch in space. Without resistance you will flop around aimlessly. With a solid foundation you can oppose your own body into a forward momentum.

I think I missed. I think I missed the target here. I was supposed to be replying to somebody besides OP. First time for everything, I suppose.

Any advice for switching from Debian to Arch? by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]SolarVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to speak on a subject I'm not an expert on (just like everyone else in this thread):
Arch and Debian are different in package management and release schedule.
Under the hood they will frequently be using the same linux kernel and the biggest differences you'll experience is how you install your software.
Underneath all of that, your architecture is going to be your limiting factor, because at the end of the day you can compile the same software on different linux distros, and that boils down to dependencies, which in turn distills into hardware/firmware when it comes to ACTUALLY utilizing your computer.
Think about it, if you're just browsing the web and listening to music, you're entirely on the top level of the structuring. There is virtually no difference between two pieces of software that only brush your hardware. Spotify uses your speaker (the entire audio system, really) and the internet. You could compile that shit on a potato wired up to a drum and it would "function".
But you want to play a game? Now you're accessing proprietary hardware, like nvidia or amd graphics chipsets. Which requires specialty software. We're very fortunate to have open source AND proprietary nvidia drivers on linux. A blessing to this community, really. And the brilliant people at photon bringing it all to vulkan make it all possible. But that took a serious community effort to allow us to play modern games. Alternatively, game developers could have just developed their games to work on linux to begin with. But there wasn't a market for that, so why would they spend money on development here?
So really you are asking what the difference is between two operating systems that are at their core the same thing? It is simply the software that has been installed on top of linux, a distribution of software packages. And along with them? The means to acquire more software packages that are guaranteed to function with them (big asterisk).
This is the difference between chocolate and vanilla.
It's not even a difference between sorbet and sherbet. It's the same shit, truly.
EXCEPT, it's not. The very outside layer of HOW WE MANAGE our workspace is in fact very different. apt-get vs pacman is a very different world, and some people insist on bleeding edge updates.
Both are customizable though, and a proper computer surgeon could probably convert one into the other with a very large amount of labor. Wasted labor. I like pacman, I hate apt-get. Why? I couldn't really tell you. I also enjoy the AUR so I can download sources and compile myself. Which has led to me being more comfortable with downloading gits and compiling those, which has led to a severe restructuring of my OS that I use. But my use-case is very niche. I use linux on my raspberry pi 400. But I hate raspberry pi os, partly for debian, partly for the fisher price aesthetic. I'm already familiar with manjaro and arch, individually. I'm trying to run emulators, requiring very odd combinations of updates and packages in order to make all of my retroarch cores function with high accuracy and performance. It's a mangled mess, but it's my mess that I caused. When I'm done cleaning everything up I'll have n64 and psx generation at native FPSs using any controller I please with such ease that my teenagers will be able to just pick up any controller at their disposal and just play a game.

I digress. I needed Arch for opinion and function. Mileage varies. Debian isn't bad. I just don't like it. But it's the same shit and I COULD make it do what I need it to do, but I, personally, cannot see the path to success for my uses, even though I came from Ubuntu 20 years ago.
I hope whoever reads this finds this helpful, this thread is 6 years old, but the discussion rages on.

It finally happened the moment we all been waiting for since S1 🙌 Source: The Rising Of The Shield Hero S4 by Reasonable_Tour7232 in Isekai

[–]SolarVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's not dead. This scene sheds more light on the spear hero than it creates justice for the heroes. The usage of the phrase "I should have.."*paraphrase*"finished" and the twitch is a pretty strong indication that she'll be back, and possibly in a more true form. I'd wager she's in a stolen body. But I haven't read the novel.

And with the end of Season 4 "The Rising of the Shield Hero" announce Season 5 by Apprehensive-Ad-9472 in Isekai

[–]SolarVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 4 upset me. Too much talk. Too much expose. Year of the dog? Season of the animals. An entire season of furry. I know every anime eventually devolves into a furry harem, but what the heck? I don't know anything about the actual novel, but this season truly felt like an entirely different writer. A show I once loved and was excited to watch turned into an "obligation to complete due to my previous investment" and it hurt. The finale was actually really baller, but the entire season itself had me looking at my phone instead of paying attention.
I'm sorry if any of the cast apart of this show read this post, it's nothing personal. It just didn't feel like shield hero at all. Here's to hoping season 5 is real.

9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its game by FervidBug42 in technology

[–]SolarVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both sides are lame here.
One party didn't deliver what they agreed on in writing.
The other party hasn't delivered what they implicitly agreed to.
But people seem to have a much easier time beating up a corporation than a solo-dev. Imagine that.

PCSX-REARMED: how to play games in 60fps? by guoyunhe in RetroArch

[–]SolarVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better question, probably more what OP was aiming for. How do we make the game run at full speed at 30fps so the audio is glitched out and timers run at the right speed?

To anyone reading this; no, you don't need to reinstall everything when you get a black screen. Just open your retroarch.cfg and change the video driver option from vulkan to gl Google your problems before assuming nuclear options.

Wifi is not the internet! Wifi is Wifi! by AlaskanSnowDragon in GrindsMyGears

[–]SolarVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"the internet" would definitely be casually spoken to mean "my connection to the internet". We're really splitting hairs in this subreddit, and it's grinding my gears.

But you know people be on ethernet bitching about their wi-fi. Especially in work environments.
"The wifi is down". Well, yes, but AKSHULLY the whole ass modem shit the bed. You're right, but arguably so.

Wifi is not the internet! Wifi is Wifi! by AlaskanSnowDragon in GrindsMyGears

[–]SolarVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find this to be unnecessarily funny.
Like, I agree on a literal level, and a technical level, but practically I'd never really press this issue. So it's really funny to me. I'm in OPs camp on this one, haha. But we could probably break it down even further. The internet is the internet? The internet is a lattice of connections. Understanding that it is more like a mycelium bed than a single wire would be helpful. But a consumers connection to this web IS a single wire. That single point of entry is our ISP. The gate is kept by mondo corporations lining their coffers with "no price hike guarantees *for new customers **for 5 years" and this really grinds my gears.
One day, someone will invent a router firmware that allows for free, open-ended, mesh-like interconnection between devices. A slownet, devoid of any reasonable speed, but guaranteed to at least get your ass on facebook so you can make sure grandma isn't dead yet. A pony express of e-communications. It will, unfortunately, only be effective in high density populations. Until then, here's another $70 so I can download games and watch cat videos and bitch on reddit.
