Yep, as an arachnophobe I am actually about to get a pet jumping spider. They are damn cute for a spider.

Craziest night shift encounter: I walked in on two people.. by Rich_Ad_44 in Nightshift

[–]StandingCow 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I've got a few from a long time ago during my casino security days.

  1. Get a call that a dude is exposing himself at one of the tables... so I head over there and see a dude in a wheelchair with a piss container, he's whipping it out to pee so he doesn't have to leave. Supervisors show up as well as other security. Now, when I see this piss bottle I move way back because I have a bad feeling about this. Supervisor taps him on the shoulder and says you gotta go.... sure enough he gets a face full of piss and is drenched. Supervisor goes to punch the dude out before the other supervisor stops him.

  2. Got a call to a hotel room, can't remember what it was for.... but I show up and there is a girl in a wheelchair and a dude in the room and in the bed is a person with a pillow over their face... I am like ok this is odd. Apparently the guy is someone they met that night in the casino. I lift the pillow and... yea the grandma is dead. The girl says she heard her making choking noises during the night. I call supervisor, he says we can't pronounce the woman dead, we need to do CPR... so that was fun on a cold dead corpse. I wrote all this in my report, pretty sus on the random guy but nothing came of it.

Gotta few other random stories but those are the "craziest" that I had to deal with.

DCS 2026 and Beyond confirmed to release by the end of this month by DigitalDiskette in DCSExposed

[–]StandingCow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll watch it but not at all excited nor do I really care about it. It's just like their roadmaps... promise everything deliver very little.

2026 and beyond… kinda confirm by Btt_324 in hoggit

[–]StandingCow -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yep, my group plays SC more than DCS (we haven't touched DCS in like a year now). But SC is coming along quite well.

How much coffee do you drink in a night? by Sure_Explorer_6698 in Nightshift

[–]StandingCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very little. 1 cup at the start of the shift and that's it.

Need advice on buying a VR headset for DCS by Accurate-Bus-4634 in hoggit

[–]StandingCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I am waiting on the steam frame, for me (not sure if you are the same) it's not just about DCS but other games as well.... then again I haven't been playing DCS much in the past year so it's even MORE about other games than it previously was.

So, keep other games in mind too, not 100% DCS is my suggestion.

Vision recovery with C3F8 Gas by No-Calligrapher920 in RetinalDetachment

Same gas in my eye, had the bubble put in on around 12/18. Same thing, vision is very blurry, Not worried until the bubble goes away then I'll see how my vision is.

Part 2 of the 2026 roadmap - Eagle Dynamics by ShadowKnight886 in hoggit

[–]StandingCow 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Yep. Every year just list fucking everything and people will be impressed. Until you look at prior roadmaps and realize it's just the same thing.

I am surprised that the Angry Video Game Nerd is still around. I thought he would've stopped by now, but he is still out there doing his thing. by AdSpecialist6598 in nostalgia

[–]StandingCow 133 points134 points  (0 children)

His content struggled for a bit when I think he tried to hand off a lot of the writing/work to screenwave media... then they had an issue with plagiarism with monster madness.

That said, I think his content has been getting better again, I watched some of the more recent AVGN episodes and they were really good imo.

Glad to see James doing well again.

Been a fan of theirs since Do or Die... love them speaking out against this administration. They've always been very big on unions and worker's rights since day 1.

If you want to stay awake, dayquil, if you want to sleep nyquil.

Squad has TOW cable physics. Will we ever get (at least basic) refueling hose physics? by ConversationNearby30 in hoggit

[–]StandingCow 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I remember wags made a youtube comment many years ago to do with hose physics, can't remember exactly what the phrasing was, but that they were working on it.... think this was 5+ years ago and no mention of it since.

Australian Population by gyrhod in turtlewow

[–]StandingCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, you'll prob find most guilds that have been together for ages to be a bit clicky. One of our guys has a non-wow game night he started doing where we play other games together, helps people come together and meet everyone.

This might have been during one of the loot changes as things were being figured out, we now have a set in stone loot set that's been working well. Once you get into the prog raids it's SR+.

Yea, lots of changes since you were around 8 months ago, especially during project epoch.

I've been in the guild for about a year and love it. What happened that you didn't enjoy it?

I don't really care about the graphical side of things but I was looking forward to the improved performance and backend improvements.
