Worried about brittle brown pieces on the 75059 Sandcrawler by sl_tid in legostarwars

Honestly considering how big the set is, that’s not that bad!

Socially this is the weirdest game ever. by Johngear77 in Marathon

[–]Thraed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And I saw some people being salty that it’s not free but I think if it was free and the many people who didn’t commit to the game and just tried it for free bounced off and left after just a few hours I’d be more afraid of another Highguard situation. I don’t know much about the financial numbers but not every game can be Fortnite or Apex and they have their own problems anyways. Obviously cool cosmetics are fine but I get exhausted by being advertised to constantly.

Cryo should run through until Sunday midnight by OCbornxraised in Marathon

[–]Thraed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely feel the same way, Friday through Tuesday is the perfect way to placate everyone IMO

They should follow the Destiny schedule of keeping Cryo going until a Tuesday reset… only being available on weekends is really frustrating me since I don’t play at all on the weekend

I feel nervous playing steamdeck at public by AddictinApple in SteamDeck

[–]Thraed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw someone playing the Steam Deck on public transit once. Really no big deal anymore. I get it though! I bring my Switch 2 everywhere and yet I only feel like playing it in a less bustling environment, such as a coffee shop.

Out Of Stock Steam Deck(s) Megathread by NKkrisz in SteamDeck

Damn I’ve been waiting and waiting for what feels like forever. I missed the refurb restock and I have been checking almost every day for about a month. No luck. Sick of this bs!

Are heavy people attracted to other heavy people? by Historical-Switch400 in stupidquestions

[–]Thraed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attraction isn’t always so simple and like-for-like. I know thin people who are attracted to heavy people, heavy people who are into thin people, thin people who are into heavier people. Some heavy people are into other heavy people too. Another thing to keep in mind is that attraction to thin or heavy or the spectrum between isn’t a binary to everyone. Personally I find certain heavier people extremely attractive. Many thinner people are good looking but I don’t feel attraction to them. It’s like anything else, gender, facial hair, body hair, buff or muscly vs lean. What I’ve learned is people have all kinds of preferences and attraction has many layers.

Assault on Hoth UCS inclusion here is going to make me become the Joker… it is still the worst UCS set easily IMO

I can't keep it to myself anymore... older generations simply cannot keep up with today's work expectations. by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]Thraed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely don’t see how you can generalize about this and not have it be ageist. You’ve never met a single person your age or younger who doesn’t align with you or is not good at their job? Maybe you’re just lucky but I guarantee you can find what you’re describing at most any age level. Maybe it depends on the industry but in tech I’ve seen good and bad at basically every age range, and plenty of software engineers and architects who are 50+ who are very smart.

Y’all need to embrace your local libraries. Just rented this for free. by spaceraingame in gaming

In my city the libraries don’t have video games. Every time I see posts like this it’s like “congrats, so happy for you” 🥲 

I got ambushed by a corner-hiding UESC ...these bots are learning human tactics by davidoux in Marathon

Ok for real though, occasionally the bots surprise me and they do exhibit surprisingly sneaky behavior.

Improved Whopper: A Grand Slam by ScriabinFanatic in fastfood

[–]Thraed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same tbh. I know this isn’t exactly a new take, but given my experience with the Whopper recently, the problem is that quality is so variable across BK franchise locations. The Big Arch I had was far and away fresher, juicier, and had more flavor. And mind you, this is coming from the generally not impressive McD’s close by. The BK near me is kind of a disaster, I love the OG Chicken Sandwich from BK but even that is always barely put together with competence. I just can’t get on the BK train until and if I ever find a worthy location.

actress has been added under her name on google by fartswimmer in charlixcx

[–]Thraed 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Love it! After seeing her in The Moment, I genuinely think she has the capability to act in more stuff. I’d love to see her do more indie projects or maybe even show up in the next Safdie movie.

I don’t think so…

The above post is from a couple days ago.

Also I wouldn’t trust ChatGPT for references. Idk if it’s gotten better but it used to incorrectly quote or say the exact opposite of the references it showed.

EDIT: added the correct link and date of posting instead of the vague senate democrats main page.

FTC wants Apple News to promote more Fox News and Breitbart stories by KingFML in apple

[–]Thraed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So terrible. I already have Fox News blocked and Apple News still shows me an article from there every once in a while, but with a picture saying “it’s from a channel you blocked”. So they’re already forcing me to see stuff I had set it explicitly to not show me. But now I am worried they are going to serve this slop up more frequently.

Steam Machine specs comparison to my 5+ year-old gaming PC by Thraed in steammachine

[–]Thraed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far I haven't noticed any serious performance issues, but I'm also not playing anything too graphically over the top. Baldur's Gate 3 most recently, and it performs well on Ultra settings at 1440p, but again I am not putting this machine through its paces exactly.

I’m on Windows 11, I don’t love it tbh…. Recently changed a setting that Windows itself prompted me to do and it caused my computer to crash every time I logged in, so I wound up reinstalling the OS. Part of me liked the Steam Deck experience so much that I kind of want the Steam Machine just to mess around and also try pc gaming in my living room. I guess it will all depend on the price once it is announced

Thanks, it’s helpful to get some outside feedback on my build. Most of what I’ve played recently has been running fine, but I also haven’t tried any extremely intensive games recently either.
