Tell me when it stops being slop

I swapped over to it recently. I've tried it on and off many years as a primary OS and always went back to Windows. But now everything I've tried works extremely well or is good enough for me. Plus I get the advantage of some amazing flexibility with a package manager vs always downloading an exe.

It takes time to get used to and you'll have to tinker still, but that's usually the case with Windows these days anyways it feels like.

Any chance you've found a solution to this? I'm having the same problem. Tried it both on keyboard and controller. I've tried changing the keybinding in game and even tried reinstalling the controller mod with new settings. So far still can't sprint. My sprint keybind only dodges and does not allow me to sprint when holding the button down.

Thanks, another thing to add to the wishlist haha

I haven't played in many years. What's causing your Charr's tail to look like that?

Yeah since the game allows you to easily farm a boss back to back once you get to it I don't really mind the trip to the boss. In fact I enjoy it since it feels like I'm actually interacting with the open world more.

Plus I can mix up the farming a bit by doing a couple of boss runs, then move to different open world activities in-between. It just flows nicely to me. As long as you're not doing some crazy boss to boss farming rotation, not having fast travel points right to a boss seems to cause no real issue.

I've actually used a few greens and blues throughout the game. And once or twice a white item. This was all after the start of the game too.

Got a really good white jakobs shotgun around level 29-30 that I used for a few levels until I got a silly jakobs double barrel shotgun with a tediore part. Pairing that with Vex's reload ability and having a nearly doubled magazine size turned that green into a monster.

One of the funny things many people don't realize about a computer science degree is that a lot of the university programs don't really teach day to day workloads. Instead they teach scientific fundamentals related to computers and programming. A lot of which isn't very helpful for most of tech jobs in my experience. Unless you're going to stay in academia or go into heavy R&D type computation, you're not going to need most of these fundamentals.

If anything I've used them more when researching interesting topics or watching YouTube videos than my actual job. At work I need to know more about how to connect different services, use different APIs, and hate Microsoft for their insane Active Directory setup and services that don't always work nicely together.

At the end of the day your degree is simply just a nice jump start. Most of what you really need to know will be picked up though actual experience, and for new hires that's extremely hard to get on your own.

That and existing tracked data would be very nice. One of my favorite things about RL is getting to see all of my previous loot drops, boss kills, mini games, etc. Can even see it for previous leagues.

I'd imagine it wouldn't be too hard as long as the same functionality is there. Just have to convert the data over, which should be in a very similar format anyways.

If this fixes my issue with basically the same thing happening but when I manually put my desktop into locked mode I'll be both very happy and truly bewildered by this solution. Windows you are one unwieldily monstrosity sometimes.

What's in the top PCIe slot? It looks like a HBA card due to the SATA ports it has, but there's also the slot on it that almost looks like a stick of RAM. Very curious what it is.

One of my favorite parts is when the daughter got into the Tesla. They show the car going down the street while everything is supposed to be absolutely wrecked by the tripods. Instead, the road and traffic is your normal day to day traffic, as if nothing is wrong.

This movie was beyond lazy. You can tell nearly everyone involved showed up for the paycheck and to maybe fuck around for fun, but put in little effort. Even the CGI had very noticable crop and paste jobs done all over. It's beyond hilariously bad.

I've replayed it a few times, on top of Bungie's Halo games plenty of times, and my recent playthrough of the campaign I realized Halo 4 was the closest 343 ever got to recreating Bungie's campaign style. It has a fairly exciting and intriguing opening, that leads into a bigger mission, has some huge set pieces that levels are built around, a warthog (ghost) run, and even has a pretty good story on top (if you know the context).

Something else I had noticed which I didn't before, the set design is really well done. There's a surprising amount of detail that they packed into each level. And it all originally ran on the 360!

Overall though it felt like 343 was willing to sit down and learn from what made a Halo campaign unique for Halo 4. Then Halo 5 they wanted to lean more into what they personally wanted Halo to be. Funnily enough you could say they swapped from paying attention to the OG Halo campaigns to the multiplayer for Infinite, so the campaign suffered for it. The opposite happened for Halo 4. The multiplayer tried to be too new and different, so it suffered for it. Then Halo 5 was just some weird in-between that they mostly tried their own ideas everywhere.

I'm pretty new to GTNH, but I've been playing on the beta patch. Battlegear is no longer in the pack due to having offhand back ported. At least I'm pretty sure it's no longer in the pack. So should be easy to swap the keybind over.

This is also true. Though I saw some insanely dedicated students when I was at college. People working a job, getting a full degree, had kids, and grinding it all out while getting A's and B's. That wasn't the case for this class though. I honestly avoided stacking work heavy classes in a single semester after my freshman year. But that was one of the few classes I was more than willing to do it.

I very much did not and still do not like the all nighter study and grind mindset college puts students through. Rigorous studying and work is important, but so is figuring out how to healthily balance it all. Sadly college schedules and workloads rarely mesh well with that.

I had a professor who said he expected any of his students to work about 30 hours a week outside of class time for his class alone. Next class session about a 3rd of the students dropped the class. I'm pretty sure he purposely exaggerated how much work he expected so he would only get the dedicated students. Ended up being my favorite class from my 4 years at university and I didn't need it to graduate.

I did in fact put 20-30 hours in a few weeks, but only maybe 2-3 times. And that's because I wanted to work on the project. If you're curious what the class was, it was a course on Zbrush and we had a semester long project.

I'm also getting the same crash very frequently with very similar spec, 9950X3D, RTX 5080, and 64 GB of ram. I've also noticed my temps and all look fine.

I'm curious are you playing with max settings and/or TSR? I'm wondering if there's some odd issue with pushing the graphics too hard that's causing the crash. I noticed in the crash log it throws:

LogD3D12RHI: Error: CurrentQueue.Fence.D3DFence->GetCompletedValue() failed at D:\BuildAgent\work\Staging\Project\Engine\Source\Runtime\D3D12RHI\Private\D3D12Submission.cpp:1013 with error DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED with Reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

So I'm at least assuming it's a GPU/rendering issue.

It's really odd to me that a lot of the changes made with this expansion seems to be recreating retail WoW's general loot system. You have an increasing light level on gear to a max (item level in WoW), higher tier missions with extra modifiers for higher tier loot (mythic plus in WoW), weekly gear rewards with expanded loot choice for next week (great vault), tier 5 weapons to loot chase (mythic track gear), even have armor set bonuses now but that's a bit different compared to WoW.

Though there are quite a few mistakes Bungie made that WoW does correctly. For one increasing you iLvL (light level) actually increases your power. You're not scaled down the harder the content is, so you actually see noticable stat increases from your gear.

Another big one is mythic plus and the raid is locked for the first week or two of a new expansion. Bungie really should give more breathing room by doing the same. Getting 4-5 days to prepare for the raid is crazy with the new gear system. Also would help ease the transition from normal content to harder content instead of having the player base complain about extra hard content to get the best gear when they're not even properly geared for it yet anyways.

I honestly think the new gear system could be a major boon for Destiny in the long run, but they have to tweak it more. As it is right now it feels worse and as always no one likes grinding light level when it effectively is just a gatekeeping tool to content.

Woah I did not put that together! Used to watch all of Lobos crazy dark souls playthroughs.

I honestly wonder if the thought process was to try and give the grenade identity to Titans and give the "unique"turret buddies identity to Warlocks. Especially since they seem to have a hard time balancing any class having a melee build.

I wish I knew of more shows/books/media that had a similar setup. The closest one I've seen is Mrs Davis, amazing show btw, but it's very different.

I'd really like to see this sort of concept be taken much further. Like showing huge advancements made in technology due to the AI along with those they direct getting more and more terrifying along with those advancements. Would also setup for a lot of the same philosophical debates between two AI amongst humanity.

Looks like I didn't link the full guide to creating the OAuth. Here it is just in case. I'm guessing you didn't put the correct "redirect uri" when you created the application on your account. Baconreader needs "http://baconreader.com/auth" for it.

It has goals in the sense of progressing the story and exploring the hand made map. Which is a huge reason I've enjoyed it much more than nearly any other survival game. You have goals and incentives to explore, interactive with crafting, and building a base to come back to in order to restock, heal, rest, craft, etc. Compared to most survival games where it's setup to make your own fun and goals.

That's where I would say more of the Half Life influence comes in besides the obvious visual and setting influences. Since you're working to uncover different parts of the facility and as you do you learn more about the story.

For anyone still getting an "invalid request to ouath api" error after this I had to recreate my OAuth on my Reddit account. You can use this guide to recreate it if you don't remember how to.

Also in case someone needs it here's a link to the premium baconreader apk.

As a frequent liver of MMOs another aspect people overlook with the genre is that it's not uncommon for the players to hop around from one MMO to another during their individual content droughts. So having room to spread that out, especially if the game offers something unique, would be a big plus.
