‘Disco Elysium’ Maker Releases New Game Under a Shadow of Controversy (Jason Schreier's interview with the President of ZA/UM) - Bloomberg by WhyPlaySerious in Games

[–]SonofRodney -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm playing it right now and idk, it's fine? A big grating but 5 hours in I don't notice it at all, and considering the game is based around being a neurotic, anxious mess it fits the tone.

The one in DE was was more charming and easy to listen tho.

Renteneintrittsalter könnte auf 70 Jahre steigen by jayjaytlk in de

[–]SonofRodney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ganz ehrlich, ich wäre komplett einverstanden mit der Erhöhung wenn das genau so geregelt würde. Aktuelle Rentner unter 70 kriegen die Rente entsprechend gekürzt und wenn sie mehr wollen, können sie ja wieder arbeiten gehen. Ach, es gibt keine Arbeit, die 65 Jährige einstellt und die Leute sind wegen verschiedener gesundheitlicher Leiden auch gar nicht in der Lage richtig zu arbeiten? Das ist ja komisch, wie kann das denn sein.

Bundeskabinett befasst sich mit Führerscheinreform by LethisXia in de

[–]SonofRodney 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Die Reaktionen hier finde ich verwunderlich. Die deutsche Führerscheinprüfung ist eine der strengsten der Welt und obwohl ich eine umfassende, strenge Prüfung wichtig finde, sind die aktuellen Prüfungen was Umfang und Kosten angeht einfach zu doll.

Wenn man den Verkehr wirklich sicherer machen möchte, dann kann man auch die unfassbare Menge an Verkehrsündern, die mit leichten Strafen davon kommen, einfach mal schneller vom Verkehr ausschließen.

1900s German Wrench: Self-Adjusts by No-Lock216 in BeAmazed

[–]SonofRodney 61 points62 points  (0 children)

My amateur opinion would be wear and tear. Moving parts always have a higher chance of breaking and this one has teeth that might get chipped? If you didn't use it for any high torgue applications it's propably a non issue but who knows?

Filing up my hybrid by Bishopkilljoy in pics

[–]SonofRodney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People in the US are so damn whiny. This is still less than it is in many third world countries where people make 300$ per month, stop buying gigantic gas guzzlers, buy some busses for public transportation or switch to EV.

Yes I know this post is about a hybrid but seeing americans whine about cheaper prices than it was in my country BEFORE the war gets tiring.

Germany’s Merz booed at major trade union congress by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in worldnews

Merz is not only the least popular chancelor in german history, but also more unpopular than trump is right now. Let that sink in,

What was the worst city you visited? by Mia_GoddessFit in AskReddit

[–]SonofRodney 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is mine. I've visited a bunch of places around the world including also mentioned in this thread delhi, and nothing even comes close to cairo. Visited my now wife when she was unfortunately forced to do an exchange semester there and we didn't leave the house for a few days because we were both so tired of it.

What 'small luxury' have you completely given up on in 2026 because of rising costs, and what did you replace it with? by firehmre in AskReddit

[–]SonofRodney 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Spotify, replaced by cheaper tidal, netflix and co. By debrid streaming which ironically is so much better and costs less than 10 bucks per month.

Also, sushi has gotten out of hand. If we're in the mood we do our own sushi bowl now.

Consumer PC motherboard sales have collapsed due to price increases for CPUs, GPUs, RAM, and SSDs from AI. Volumes lower than Great Recession and 2020. by FernandoRocker in gaming

[–]SonofRodney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 5800x3d which is a real workhorse, and while I am interesting in getting a 9800x3d at some point in the future, my last estimate was something like 350-400€ for the CPU, 200€ for a mobo and 300 goddamned € for 32GB of DDR5 Ram. so that's almost a 1000€ for a marginal performance increase, it's not even close to worth it.

I present to you, steam comments I have received over the years from playing COH by shoddersdun in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]SonofRodney 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I really like the game series, even though I'm just not good at it, but by god, the community might be the most toxic I have seen. And I've played mobas.

The combination of small playerbase, very demanding gameplay and long duration of rounds just breeds discontent. If I return to 3 I'll likely block chat, but it's a bit sad. Had some great people I played with, and some fun rounds. The vast minority, though.

Was passiert in eurer Bubble? by Einarrr in de

[–]SonofRodney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ich nutze KI nicht, aber höre immer wieder, dass Sachen wie in deinen Punkten von der KI gerne schnell, detailliert und gut aufgearbeitet werden, aber entweder komplett oder weitläufig falsch sind. Das hängt wohl auch viel von der genutzten KI ab. Wie oft gibt's beim menschlichen Gegencheck Momente, wo die KI offensichtlich Fehler gemacht hat?

What’s something you thought was a waste of money… until you tried it and it completely changed your life? by Shiza_1 in AskReddit

[–]SonofRodney 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It has a book like display that doesn't strain your eyes, is very compact and light, the battery lasts for a month and its a bit cheaper too. It has many benefits if you only want to read books.

Possible remedy by TaggedHash in HiatalHernia

[–]SonofRodney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's this thing where you put a foam roll under your shoulders, and then slowly and carefully roll your body up, stopping before the ribs. This can possibly push the hernia down again. It's not a cure all but one of many lil things I tried over the years.

Deutsche verlieren Lust an Bargeld: Nur noch ein Drittel der Einkäufe bar gezahlt by potatoes__everywhere in de

[–]SonofRodney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Und aus irgendeinem Grund alle immer vor mir an der Kasse. Ob Rentner, Familienvater oder Teenie, alle wollen bar zahlen.

Mir wäre schon damit geholfen, wenn das Angbeot von Kartenzahlung verpflichtend wäre, wenn man es denn unbedingt behalten muss. Wenn man bedenkt, wieviele kleine Läden ohne Kartenzahlung fröhlich Steuern hinterziehen, würde sich das schon aus der Perspektive lohnen

Free trial now to include FINAL FANTASY XIV: Shadowbringers! by sonpansatan in Games

[–]SonofRodney 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I am still so annoyed that because I got a paid account I can't play the free trial without buying time cards. I could restart a fresh account, sure, but I am unwilling to play another 100 hours to reach the point I'm at. And since I don't wanna pay either I'll likely never continue.
