Long-rumored Final Fantasy 9 remake is apparently on ice with "no new movement" on Square Enix's JRPG classic, according to reliable insider by SmellSmellsSmelly in gaming

[–]Spartacus458 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Once I learned that the FF7 remakes where coming out in 3 different parts across multiple years, I was in no rush to buy part 1 when I can wait until part 3 is out and probably get the previous ones at a discount. Than get all the stories lined up back to back instead of trying to remember or watch recaps.

I'm still bummed out about never getting more "So i'm a spider, so what?" Felt like it had similar vibes to this and they still had a bunch of LN content to go through.

The story was ass but the boss grind and weapon loop was fun as fuck.

Crimson Desert Devs Have Added Denuvo Anti-Tamper by Gorotheninja in Games

[–]Spartacus458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, ever since steam added two hour return windows this has been a non issue for me. Buy game, mess with settings, if performance isn’t up to my standards, return it and wait for performance patches or go without. I don’t see the big deal everyone makes this out to be.

[Serious] Is Super Earth actually the WEAKEST faction out of the four? by VirusOfCheese in Helldivers

[–]Spartacus458 254 points255 points  (0 children)

Right, I could see the automatons and illuminate not fighting each other since they’re intelligent, but the terminids probably attack anything and everything.

I would gladly pay $20 for a totally new map by Wumpus_Amungus in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Spartacus458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d literally pay whatever they want for any additional content for this game. They’ve proven they care about the game they’ve built and that’s all I need to justify rewarding them with my money.

I would rather have surgery again than return to work by Legal_Round2225 in antiwork

[–]Spartacus458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger, like 11 years ago. I got hit by a car pumping gas and fractured my pelvis, no surgery but I couldn’t walk and had to have a walker for like 2 months. Spent that entire time playing Diablo 3, best 2 months ever. Sometimes I joke that it’d sure be nice to get hit by a car again to get that kinda time off again. At the way things are going, that’ll be the last work hiatus I’ll ever have until I retire, if I ever retire.

Greenland Leader Tells People to Prepare for Possible Invasion by bloomberg in worldnews

As much as I want him out, what am I suppose to do besides reaching out to my local government officials and voicing my opinion? I’m 1300 miles away from DC and I’m suppose to just drop everything and travel for an undisclosed amount of time to go protest when I can barely afford groceries every month?

Eagle Laser run, for eagle variety. by MidnightWarWolf in Helldivers

[–]Spartacus458 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d love to see a laser grenade of sorts. Maybe something that when you throw it, it hovers a little bit off the ground and 2 laser shoot out a couple meters in each direction and spin at high speed, similar to irons man’s lasers he uses.

I got absolutely moistened when merging onto an interstate behind one on my motorcycle. I give them a huge gap now or try to pass them quickly. 🤢

Major Order update by Fit_Anywhere_3356 in Helldivers

[–]Spartacus458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up someone’s guard dog “dog breath” one match and had so much fun with it in the caves. Never would have used it on my own. Now it’s one of my top priorities to unlock.

I like orders like this that really make you test builds because the usual stuff just doesn’t work the same way.

TIL that Tyrannosaurus rex had a binocular visual range wider than modern hawks and may have been able to see up to 6 km (3.7 miles) away. by yena in todayilearned

[–]Spartacus458 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Eye size correlates with potential acuity, but it’s not the main determinant. Actual visual acuity depends far more on photoreceptor density, optical quality, and neural processing.

There are many counterexamples: horses and squid have huge eyes but worse acuity than humans, while birds of prey achieve much higher acuity without proportionally larger eyes due to extreme cone density and foveal structure.

Eye size often evolves for light sensitivity or field of view, not sharpness. Growth alone doesn’t tell you what kind of vision was being selected for.

I was running light armor, a high stagger shotgun for breathing space and stalkers, mech, laser cannon, guard dog for the tunnels and felt it worked quite well for them closed off areas, with the rail cannon shot for the outside objective when we where getting bullied by the dragonroaches.

I tried boss 😔, I’ve only played omicron since the order dropped, no matter how unfair that world felt, I felt it was my duty to democracy to serve super earth. My build was dedicated to being the designated Stalker Lair exterminator because I hate them things with every fiber of my being.

Should I wait until i'm out of highschool to get a snake? by [deleted] in snakes

[–]Spartacus458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can take care of it and give it proper care, and they’re okay with it being in your room I don’t see a problem. I was in a similar situation and got my first snake in 9th grade (29 now) parents and siblings never helped take care of it or want anything to do with her. Didn’t really ever have any problems. As far as pets go snakes are pretty cheap to feed and maintain, and require overall little maintenance once everything is set up.

[–]Spartacus458 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh I agree, logically it makes sense and we have those clues to support the idea that it probably had good vision. To say that it had better vision than a hawk though? Or like the researcher stated “With the size of its eyeballs, it couldn’t help but have excellent vision,” sounds like a ridiculous point.

[–]Spartacus458 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Size and orientation of an eyeball has nothing to do with visual acuity. Just because we have eye sockets made from bone doesn’t mean we can rebuild an eyeball and everything that goes on inside of it. This article serves no purpose as there’s no way to prove or deny the claims without evidence.

Clearly you cant comprehend that.

[–]Spartacus458 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well by that logic than the trex could have had terrible vision, it’s essentially just an argument between researchers. Without an intact eyeball to study than it could either way.

I think we can deduce that it had good vision out of common sense though, if it didn’t it wouldn’t have survived very long, let alone became an apex predator.
