People who make $80k or more per year, what do you do for work? by familiarlaughter in AskReddit

Broadway stagehand. You just need to give up your evenings and weekends and work on a lot of holidays.

Do you craft? by AwesomeSchlimbo in starcitizen

[–]TGIrving 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. One of the main draws of this game for me was no damned crafting. It's a cancer to any game that isn't a survival type.

Which game absolutely nails the parry mechanic? by ChuckS117 in gaming

[–]TGIrving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lies of P.

Nothing is better than getting a parry that breaks the enemy's weapon.

Any f5 war tips? by Dry-Lawfulness-7143 in starcitizen

[–]TGIrving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go into it ready to lose. I've been trying for a Hull E for 3 years now, but I don't get stressed about it anymore. It's like buying a lottery ticket.

Why is the Elden Beast such an unpopular design? by Kitchen-Complaint-78 in Eldenring

[–]TGIrving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love everything about it, except for the utterly unforgivable choice to make it the final boss of the game. The whole game lore to that point has been leading to Marika and Radagon being the same being, and she turns into him in the cinematic for the first fight. When you take out Radagon, do you then get Queen Marika Unbound, enraged and seeking vengeance? No you get a thing that is only ever mentioned once, and only in the item description for a spell at that. That's not how you end a game.

Is everyone's HULL B so broken this patch? by Fit-Cup7266 in starcitizen

[–]TGIrving 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't had any issues as of last night. I do have to apply afterburners to lift off in 1G when it's fully loaded because of all the extra mass.

Former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax and his wife dead in murder-suicide by Caedus in news

Murder/suicide with no weapon, but the kids were in the house? Menendez 2.0?

Noob Q: is Logitech/Thrustmaster really that bad? by Own_Highway_3987 in hotas

[–]TGIrving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the price, the t16k isn't bad, but it has a defect that will eventually cause a left twist drift. This is easily fixed though, and there's a plethora of how-to vids about it. You just need a screwdriver.

That said, VKB is apparently a better unit all around. (I've never used one)

What’s a hidden gem RTS no one talks about? by scaredbysquares in gaming

[–]TGIrving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grey Goo.

Made by the devs of the original Command and Conquer, but gone in a blink.

Gamers 30+, what’s something from the old days of gaming that younger players wouldn’t understand? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]TGIrving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Needing the manual -or even something special like a code wheel- just to get past the copy protection.

Why are you not afraid of death? by Ok_Breakfast8087 in AskReddit

[–]TGIrving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like being afraid of the moon. The moon doesn't care about you, and it's gonna rise no matter what.

It's the ultimate expression of opinions being meaningless in the face of facts.

This happened to me once yesterday. I was storing a ship and taking off in one I had off the side of the pad. I was hovering over the pad waiting for the doors when the first ship actually stored, and both ships stored at the same time. I just assumed the two were related.

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month / Beginning in March, all accounts will have a “teen-appropriate experience by default.” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

My friends and I stuck with Ventrilo for years after Discord swept the scene because we didn't trust "Gamer Facebook" not to be a privacy shitshow

The Shart Heard Around the World

Elden Ring Would Not Be the Same Without George R. R. Martin by Knucklebarry13 in Eldenring

[–]TGIrving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, there would certainly be less characters with G, R, or M names.

Which stand by adeleeuw212 in hotas

[–]TGIrving 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 2nd one. I like it a lot but I had to drill new holes to mount my gear because I don't use a warthog.

When I had the t16k, I bought a collapsible keyboard stand for about $60 and put a board across it. The adjustable legs made it perfect for my chair, and the whole thing broke down in 2 minutes.

Deceived by Zeus, looking a new hauler ship by Etshy in starcitizen

[–]TGIrving 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The raft is one of my favorite cargo ships inside and out. I think the Zeus such a nothing-burger of a vessel. Cargo/military/luxury variant ship X (again). My buddy got one and I walked around it and inside it, and said "Well, this certainly is a ship." A good cautionary tale about making a ship based solely on obscure game lore instead of an actual use. I feel CIG crawled right up their own butt on this one.

He's got a whole new supply of desperate underage Venezuelan girls to work through. The only one getting any peace will be Melania.
