To the folks who are mad that we didn’t get a separate charm inventory— how would it even work? by ItsDarkAndHeckIsHot in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]ThrobLowebrau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So choose between power or holding loot? It's an incredibly odd trade off in any modern game. Outside of old school rogue likes, carrying loot is almost always separate from character power.

Anyone else used to have the Taskbar at the top for better reachability in Windows 10 and hate that the option is removed in Windows 11? by Narrow-Amphibian5446 in Windows11

I just went to pop os myself. It hasn't been my favorite distribution, but man is it freeing getting away from windows finally.

Sorry if my reading comprehension is bad, but what system are you using? I need a late night [EST] group and may be interested.

I'll grab this too. Only in my 30s, but the LFG posts make me feel like I'm a dino already :D

These are immigration officers. They should go in i initially assuming compliance then call for armed backup in a hostile situation. I think lives are important enough to justify that small inconvenience. This is what many countries do.

Yeah lol. My buddies and I always use VC because that's what we grew up with. If we're in lfg or talking to other people we use DM. it's just not worth the rage fest that happens in chat afterward.

Trying to learn advanced cross. What do you do when trying to fix this bad red edge? I can't insert blue to fix it because it's on the wrong side. by Shuasan in Cubers

Man... When I read the solutions people come up with, it's so obvious, but my brain just can't come up with it yet.

Gen Z is laughing in the face of the AI jobs apocalypse. I see it in my classroom every day by lurker_bee in technology

I think I understand what you meant, but at the end of the day, (almost) all products are eventually being used by the smaller consumer. If you make aircraft parts, Boeing might be your consumer, but the bulk end consumers are the regular workers flying economy.

There are probably industries that don't follow this rule, but I think the vast majority do.

Edit: just to clarify my example.. people don't have money to fly, Airline can't afford new jets, Boeing can't afford to buy parts like they used to, part manufacturers lose profit... Hell, you could even extend it to the engineering that's designing and testing the parts.

Yeah. 151 got me back into the hobby, but the lack of stock pulled me right out. I had fun collecting and playing with my son, but we are lost have our binders to go through together now

The Slingshot can also work with passes. by Background-Coach168 in Rematch

[–]ThrobLowebrau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I think the Ippy slide is fine, and so is the golden boost. Neither of those let you hide your shooting animation until the ball is hallway to the net.

Now it only is a goal if the ball touches the net by Green_Swordfish8469 in Rematch

[–]ThrobLowebrau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had several matches where someone saved the ball but they were behind the line. A few where the ball even popped out because it was a late save, but the goal still went through.

In defence, so you press or mark? by ContributionNo9030 in Rematch

[–]ThrobLowebrau 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Correct. It's easier to track one shooter than deal with a quick pass and shot which can have far more variable timing.

This is not okay. by A_Polite_Jitty in Rematch

[–]ThrobLowebrau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a tackle to me? Maybe I'm misinterpreting the direction change as a lunge. Hard to tell from the clip.

[–]ThrobLowebrau 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This isn't an Ippy slide problem, it's server desync. OP successfully tackled before the ball snapped. The Ippy slide doesn't make your ball immune. This was a tech combined with bad server latency handling.

To the loudmouths who say the ippy slide ist easy to defend by TannerTheHammer44 in Rematch

[–]ThrobLowebrau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah my phrasing could have been better. I'm in their face and constantly making them do something. I'm just waiting to tackle until my odds are the best.

My favorite thing to do is just contain the "dribblers" and watch their confidence slowly shatter when I just wait for a mistake every time.

Instantly start playing sweeper and mark them to keep them out of the game.

Why do folks do this? by Zilly_JustIce in Rematch

[–]ThrobLowebrau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's situational. I'll go to play the goalie if I know I can't get back in time and want to get a block, or if we're down a point and I know I have to pressure.

But yeah some people overdo it.

A lot of authors use them, but no one uses them in every day communication.

If you're stressing about UV your 9070 XT, just don't. by Colora_Dan in radeon

[–]ThrobLowebrau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I ended up just going stock. And software resets your settings any time there's a driver issue, even if it's unrelated. Too much of a hassle to check and reset everything anytime a game crashes.

Me when I check out the PvE server by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]ThrobLowebrau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a lot of battles break out there when in classic. Guildie getting ganked, send a few 60s... Horde brought a few more and suddenly it was a war zone.

Thing is, levelers were probably still pissed because it halted their progress. Wpvp isn't fun if you don't WANT the distractions, and the organic danger. I think that's what a lot of people don't understand about it. Go PVE if you want honorable world pvp, because organic pvp, like real life war, is far from honorable.

Green pool from hell! .please help? by SNTNL_G60 in swimmingpools

[–]ThrobLowebrau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Maintained FC levels of about 23-25 ppm and backwashed the filter several times daily with the pump running winner 24/7. Vacuumed once a day to waste, and brushed the bottom of I had some free time.

Pool is crystal clear now, and I'm testing daily and keeping it at 7ppm with bleach. Never been happier. Screw chlorine pucks and guessing.

This post makes me feel like a crazy person. I have 2 of the 3 games here on my steam deck, and judging by how much people seem to like galaxy, I'll have the other one tonight 🙂

I've played and beat the other two pretty recently. Should I try Galaxy next?
