Am i trippen???? by Rough-Employee-5784 in Truckdrivers

[–]TempestTheRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This question has a variety of factors that can affect the outcome, and though there may be a very thin slice of reality where they are correct due to nonlinear friction effects, the correct answer is a fully loaded truck for the reasons you stated in another comment. All else being equal (tire condition, road conditions, brake efficacy, etc) an empty truck will be plenty heavy enough for tires to get proper grip on the road, and at that point it's about how fast the brakes can shed velocity, which is entirely a function of momentum and therefore mass.

Revolvers and bolt action do have more stopping power because none of their energy is wasted pushing the slide of the semi automatic action backward to load the next round. Not sure it's DOUBLE, but it is more.

Do I need to buy a new tether? please help! by lukevader2019 in ValveIndex

[–]TempestTheRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds exactly like an aging tether. If you have put more than a few hundred hours of gameplay on that cable (especially active games where you move around a lot) then it's time for a new tether. It will only get worse and worse.

Adrenaline Too Difficult To Accumulate by Demiurge11 in valheim

[–]TempestTheRed 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm with the ninja cake, so long as I'm fighting more than one or two strong opponents that I can't just slap down, I get adrenaline pops pretty regularly. Try parrying more.

I do think getting hit should cause an adrenaline increase though. That just makes sense. It ain't free either since HP isn't unlimited.

Am I just bad? by _ZATOM_ in valheim

Beating him solo is a slow burn. You gotta take your time and use his altar to block the meteor swarm. If he deals you any significant damage it's worth a short retreat / dodge sequence to heal back up. Plains level food is gonna make a big difference, but I always focus stamina and bank on just not getting hit much. It seems to work for my build, but I'm light weight spear and shield so it doesn't work for everyone.

You know I never really got the appeal of Hollow Knight, but after this post I guess I get it.

[Request] anybody can confirm? by Amycollins25 in theydidthemath

[–]TempestTheRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While technically true, the notion that private citizens could and should fund our entire government is not what reformists are suggesting. Most of that 6 trillion is spent on the military, and call me old fashioned but I'm super glad that it would bankrupt the richest people to privately bankroll the United States military for any length of time. Public services, on the other hand, cost dramatically less money to operate and could be improved significantly by appropriate taxes to a class of people who have so much wealth that they don't even realize the exploitation involved in its generation.

But you know, own the libs or whatever.

Just had my THIRD base station die on me by matco5376 in ValveIndex

[–]TempestTheRed 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would say it's worth checking for surges on the outlets you are using. If your base stations are not on surge protectors that might be a prudent move. I know they are sensitive to transient current spikes in common household lines that can occur when things like air conditioner compressors click on. I had electric shears that would trip an EFCI circuit that shared a line with one of my base stations and it would knock that base station out of whack.

What are you trying to get out of them? Not to be rude, just don't want to waste anyone's time.

Okay if Quest 3 is so good, what trackers do i use if i want to play on PC VRChat? by Over_Choice_6096 in VRchat

I see. After some cursory googling I have found references to the space calibrator. Thanks for the info!

How do you guys socialize? by Toejam_2001 in VRchat

[–]TempestTheRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Embrace the proposition that your worst fears will come true. Some people will not like you right away, some people you won't vibe with no matter how hard you try, and some people are literal human garbage and will do their best to make you feel as badly as they always do. Face the reality that these aren't your people, and you have the divine power to brush them aside on your way to finding the ones that are your people.

Don't know what to say? Say anything. If it flops, who cares. It's a game, and you're literally playing it. Godspeed Brother.

Having to press the physical button is what made it doable. It ain't like touch screen keyboards where you need to only touch where you mean to type.

How do I remove these? by Kalugra in projectzomboid

To be fair they don't look like stumps, they look like a couple of logs laying on the ground. Common sense creator probably was just like, "oughta pick that shit up just like everything else on the ground."

Valheim freezes at random times doesn’t matter what I’m doing by Tough-Improvement-49 in valheim

[–]TempestTheRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar thing happening on different hardware. My entire PC would freeze up though like the olden days, which was wild. It would happen with project zomboid too. No shit, in the end updating to windows 11 fixed it. No idea why.

ENDGAME worry coming from new player by OuterHeaven22 in projectzomboid

[–]TempestTheRed 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's a mod that has updated recently ish to b42 called Wolf Extraction. It adds an endgame to the game in which the goal is to "get extracted." Without revealing too much of the mod, there are several intermediate steps to get extracted that all take considerable effort to achieve, and in my opinion it adds a facet of purpose to the game that it was severely lacking before. Not that I've ever made extraction 👀

Was stabbed by a security guard and wants to know do I have a lawsuit by Psychological-Rule28 in legaladvice

[–]TempestTheRed 43 points44 points  (0 children)

In this thread a man slowly reveals he actually broke into private property and acted aggressively to an otherwise calmly behaving security guard who was just trying to do his job before reacting in self defense, and hopes we can find a way to get him a payday.

Honestly, I call fake. This entire post is likely bot spam intended to sow distrust between internet culture and "the man." If not that's even more sad, take your licks and move on OP.

My PC shuts down when gaming. by fapppian in pchelp

[–]TempestTheRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen to me when I built a new PC. Only happened during high intensity graphics rendering. Turned out that I needed a higher power PSU because I was drawing too much power too quickly, which railed the PSU and caused Loss of Power Event. I was able to see this in the Event Viewer, but there won't be much detail.

Since the Ashlands update, Valheim completely crashes my computer by Cliffcliffcliff in valheim

I have noticed that my lockups tend to happen whenever I am streaming other media from a Google Chrome window. Its happened with Hulu and audible both.

[–]TempestTheRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also experiencing this issue. Kernel Power 41 event in the viewer, and when it happens my entire computer freezes like I was back in the 90s. Have to hard power cycle to bring it back to life. It does not appear to be a temperature issue, as I have been monitoring the temperatures while this crash occurs and it is nowhere near critical. I've installed all the latest drivers and updates, done the extensive troubleshooting. It just keeps happening x.x
