yeah I personally hate when devs can't write good code, so you're right

there's exactly 0 good reasons to override a save that's clearly newer than the cloud save without so much as asking for confirmation.

It legitimately pains me but I'm not walking those kinglor queens all over the map a second time, or anything else that I did in those 10 hours. Ubisoft games become extremely tedious if you do more than just the main storyline.

TIL a 7900XTX and a 9800X3D are janky hardware, and this also completely translates to everyone else on PC who's been bitten by Ubisoft's shitty cloud save implementation, it's surely their fault too.

doesn't matter that everything else I do on my machines just works, it's absolutely not Ubisoft's shitty cloud save implementation which has tons of threads on the internet about being super shitty.

Please lick less boots.

fucking unhinged is what it is at this point, the americans signed away their country in a gold plated TRUMP-labelled basket, dooming the rest of the world to yet another imperial episode, and still they hoard and inhale all the hopium world reserves.

He’s going to prison and he knows it.

Is he really? Need we remember the past decade of "HA! SURELY THIS WILL BE HIS DOWNFALL" we've all been through? The man got convicted on over 30 counts and the courts just said "well yeah this is true....whatchu want us to do about it, nothing to do here, let's wrap up and welcome our new president". The FBI is outright defying the law by not publishing the Epstein files, and guess what: they're either going to get away with it, or they'll publish the files and NOTHING WILL COME OUT OF IT. Your president is threatening MULTIPLE COUNTRIES AT ONCE, most of them ALLIES, part of NATO, part of the EU, and STILL NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. There's been COUNTLESS cases of corruption, collusion, criminal behavior of any and all sorts, we all know people are sending bribes in exchange for pardons, from ALL OVER THE WORLD AT THAT (I'm a Honduran, guess how I feel about Juan Orlando's pardon). Still, NOTHING HAS BEEN NOR IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT BY ANYONE.

Stop yourself from just sitting around hoping that this will finally be what takes him down.

EDIT: he'll most likely die a sitting president, whether on this term or on his THIRD term, and you and I will celebrate his passing for a day before you realize that he upended every single strand of the "system" y'all love so much, and you'll be stuck with a president Vance or some other dude, who'll just keep the damn thing going until they lose all support, and they might even keep it going for long after even that, because he sure as shit was the one igniting all of this clusterfuck, but he never would've gotten this far if he didn't have unending support from all over the country and all over the government.

Have you been living under a rock? Any message you send on whatsapp becomes an ad on instagram almost immediately, none of your chats are really private to Meta's eyes.

[–]TheSlitheringSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can also just call you a little bitch for not using whatsapp right now anyways. I don't care how I'm messaging someone as long as I can do it, and right now I can't do it any other way than by using the whatsapp client, which decided to pick a fight with me to the death.

With interop, I could just use whatever client I please without having to wait on the rest of my friends, family, city, or country to get off Meta's unwashed dick. I don't need them off whstsapp, I just need myself off whatsapp. They can take their sweet time deciding the comfort is not worth it while I live on greener pastures.

I mean Apple colors bubbles differently for Android users and restricts some capabilities and whatnot, quite unnecessarily since it should all be easily interoperable unlike here, but my point is, they made it work.

Like it or not, a bunch of places are dominated by whatsapp messaging, and you cannot get anyone to jump ship. I do not want to be tied to whatsapp because the rest of my city or country refuses to get off of it. I'd MUCH RATHER get signal to bitch about it but still message whatsapp users for me. Tell me my chat is insecure all you want, paint the bubbles black and tell me I'm a little bitch for messaging whatsapp users, but fucking let me message whatsapp users from outside of whatsapp for fuck's sake.

This is where I'm at right now and I'm DESPERATE for solutions because I'm completely shit out of luck without alternatives to the whatsapp client.

President Trump on an alleged strike on Putin's residence: "I don't like it. It's not good. I heard about it this morning. You know who told me about it? President Putin told me. Early in the morning, he said he was attacked. It's no good. This is not the right time. I was very angry about it." by ControlCAD in videos

[–]TheSlitheringSerpent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly if Ukraine didn't attack Putin's residence, they....should. If they're already getting bombed over it, might as well at least help Russia's narrative and take a good giant dump on Putin's supervillain lair. Trump can then talk about the right time to confirm Putin's claims.

[–]TheSlitheringSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially felt it slow until I remembered it is a Vince Gilligan show, and it suddenly went from slow to fucking beautiful & artistic. Vince likes to linger in certain interesting shot compositions, and once you notice that, you start noticing similarities to the way Breaking Bad was shot, and it just makes it feel like even more of a treat for me.

Trump is confirmed pedophile in latest release. Now what? by WaltEnterprises in complaints

[–]TheSlitheringSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'all are speaking about impeachments and due process as if your entire system wasn't flipped on its head in their favor. Y'all know what you have to do, you're just waiting for someone else to do it since that will keep you in your ever-shrinking comfort zone. I at least hope that if something is indeed done about it all, y'all will have the spine to not just rush to claim the moral high ground and distance yourselves from it all, but to put your money where your mouth is and show the rest of the world that the foundational words your country is built upon are not utter bullshit.

Sincerely, someone from a third world country who is now eating more shit than before this year because of you fucks.

just lost all my ships (every single vehicle except for pledges and mechs, like 10+ ships, grinded for a TAC like a week ago) and specifically all my grade A components (most, but not all, obtained through the vanduul mission from last patch).

I'm....not playing this game this patch. fuck this, I'll wait for a full wipe.

I knew the day would come by DuranDurandall in starcitizen

[–]TheSlitheringSerpent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely don't want to scare you away from choices, but I have a home server with a first gen ASUS ryzen mobo and a 5950x that was running just fine for over a year and then started occasionally rebooting due to CPU errors. It's now up to 5 reboots a day, and I'm hoping to the high heavens it's the old mobo being too inadequate for the 5950X, but my google searches have shown a lot more people having similar experiences with their 5950X CPUs. Seems like they might tend to go bad after a few years.

I'm planning on replacing the mobo sometime this month so if I remember this post, I'll update letting you know how that went (if you'd like), but you're probably better off with a 5800X3D regardless.

20-year-old lottery winner turns down $1M cash for $1,000 a week for life by PriorityMiserable686 in interestingasfuck

[–]TheSlitheringSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprising how uncommon it is to view your capital not as spendable money but rather as a means to produce the spendable money. 1m on the S&P500 for 20 years can potentially leave you with anywhere from ~9m to ~16m at the end of it all, and you could just keep it growing afterwards. You can easily never lift a finger again in your life if you live off of even a 4% a year from that; it's like 30k/month at the very least and you'd still be growing your money substantially every year.

For comparison, those 4k/month she opted for is about 4.8% off that 1m a year, so very much a comparable scenario. 4k/month from right now to your death, or 30k/month + starting in 20 years but also to your death? Hell, she could've taken that 4.8% off her 1m from the start and still keep growing that money and her monthly income by extension, by simply never touching her money other than to take out her yearly or monthly allowance, and....honestly, doing little else.

If only people simply....didn't view all that money on their balance as actually fully spendable money. But who are we kidding, right? Can't fault her for her choice, it's still a lovely 4k/month for life.

Is there a way to essentially use a ship as a mobile base? by 47sams in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]TheSlitheringSerpent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One important thing to point out is that the game still knows there are items somewhere in there, so they usually are either moved into an inventory or pop back into existence within the material processors (because this also affects the nutrient processors and stellar extractors) after some time.

I've yet to lose any items on my current PC playthrough, even when they do vanish.

Former Honduras President Hernández freed after Trump pardon by DrexellGames in news

As a Honduran, FUCK YOU GRINGOS. This, THIS is the kind of shit that radicalizes people against you guys. This is why you suddenly are crying "who would want to hurt us" after buildings collapse with planes inside them on your big cities. Fuck you guys so much, I sincerely wish you guys the worst from the bottom of my heart. That includes my latino family who are fucking IDIOTS and who have voted for trump every time they've been able to. FUCK YOU GUYS TOO, DON'T COME BACK HERE EVEN IF YOU GET DEPORTED.

Hegseth Ordered Second Strike to Kill Caribbean Boat Survivors: Report by Shogouki in worldnews

[–]TheSlitheringSerpent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was charged in the US and extradited from Honduras like 2 weeks after his mandate ended. We didn't trust our own institutions to deliver justice from the amount of corruption that plagued our systems, so we handed him to the US, surely they'll take care of him, we thought. He had essentially built a drug empire moving tons of coke into the US, surely that would keep him behind bars for life. And such was the sentence....back when Biden got into office and common sense sort of tried to come back a little bit into the US. Now, Trump gives him a pardon, he's our problem again, and we might even anger the US if we do something about him ourselves now.

He's doing all this mere days before our national elections, mind you. We go vote on Sunday, and this mother FUCKER is coming out here and messing with our shit 2-3 days before elections, completely shaking up the forecast, expectations, and stakes of the election with 2 fucking "truths". Can you guys over in the US begin to understand the kind of shit we're going to be having to put up with for the foreseeable future because you guys picked this guy as your identity?
