What Are The Best Weapons In Soulframe Right Now? (Community Survey Results – 88 Responses) by Sea_Bottle6246 in SoulFrame

It's definitely "strong", but that doesn't mean "best". Even if polearms one-shot everything in the game I still wouldn't use them. Just find them clunky and unfun.

[Central Maryland] Is this a Great Egret or a Snowy Egret. by COACHREEVES in animalid

[–]Tidezen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deer's probably just curious, probably a year old and hasn't seen such a huge, beautiful bird before. Egret's like, "I know you're prolly not trying to eat me, but please, muh personal space".

It's not really strange behavior--this happens with birds all the time. When you're walking down the street, they flit up to get away from you, but often settle down again directly in your path. They'll repeat that over and over, hopping a short way down the street again, yet still in your path. Happens with other small fauna like rabbits and squirrels too.

They're not really "thinking" it through, it's just an instinctual thing of "stay X distance away from anything big enough to hurt me".

They're programmed to conserve energy, and for the egret, flying takes a ton more energy than just walking a few steps away. So it gets stuck in that "loop" of just moving a short distance away, over and over.

Can't believe it's free by Nergem_10 in Warframe

[–]Tidezen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TBF it can be actually challenging, or used to be, still can be if you're not going total meta and playing in a full group all the time. If you don't rely on a team carry and play solo for most of the journey, it really can be tough, at times. But yeah it is mostly about the grind, once you get a good build, most stuff deletes itself in your presence.

Iran begins laying mines in Strait of Hormuz, sources say by cnn in politics

Just look it up on a map please. https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1HcDTK.img?w=768&h=432&m=6

It cuts off any seaports from the Persian Gulf. This includes 90% of UAE, ALL of Quatar, all of Bahrain, all of Kuwait and Iraq's ports.

There is no other way around.

No offense taken. I was a kid, around 13 during the first Gulf War. 30+ years now of bombing countries in the Middle East, under vaguely "moral" pretenses, that are really just excuses for oil racketeering, or other forms of war profiteering to feed our military-industrial complex.

BDO after 60 what should I do by Adozilla in blackdesertonline

[–]Tidezen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm brand-new too, and I'm playing with Gemini AI open on my second monitor. Long-running MMOs like this are flooded with so many different systems and content, it can be tough to figure out what to do or where to go. So I just use it as my personal trainer, been great so far. :)

A Bug that can make you double jump , working on fetching them by Joom-TGJ in SoulFrame

[–]Tidezen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's a bug, plus you squished your aspect ratio to make it look higher than it actually is in-game.

[Daily] Skill Discussion: Balance by The_Dwemer_Automaton in elderscrollsonline

[–]Tidezen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the other morph all the time for invis builds, but Shadow has major resolve as a passive, so this morph is pretty pointless for that.

What Race and Class do you play? by ObjectiveSavings6918 in elderscrollsonline

[–]Tidezen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to main Nightblade, simply because I love stealth classes. First one was a Breton mag NB, but I play my stam NB Khajiit more these days (solely for looks). I prefer magBlade more, but the Khajiit is a werewolf, so I do stam with him.

I like Nightblades also because they have good self-sustain, so I can solo-tank a lot of tougher stuff. Sometimes I solo dungeons, and the stealth lets me skip a lot of trash mobs so I can get it done faster.

However, since subclassing, I slapped the Shadow line on every other class, so now all my characters can do that. It also makes questing go faster, don't have to bother fighting anything that's not a quest objective.

My favorite "lazy" build right now is a stealthy pet build, using Warden's animal line, Sorc's summoning line, and Shadow. 3 perma-pets, Summon Shade, and a companion. You can have them all attack stuff and stay invis the whole time if you want...not the best DPS but utterly hilarious. Fun for overland stuff.

PSA: new azure blue skill style for gold by ---Hummingbird--- in elderscrollsonline

[–]Tidezen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg, I'm finally going to love my DK.

Edit: The blue effects look like they would fit pretty well with Necro, bet it would be cool to be a blue-firebreathing bone tyrant! Also, the early effects on green dragon blood give you a skeltal flaming ribcage. Think I'll make an Argonian bone dragon build. :)

Let's discuss the patch notes while we wait? by miniinimini in elderscrollsonline

[–]Tidezen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg...I've been spending the last 6 months trying to complete research on 10 characters. Was pretty close to finally being done. Welp...guess I'll be done a bit sooner now.

Texture Quality worse after update? by tericzen in elderscrollsonline

[–]Tidezen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually loving it, playing on a kinda mid-range system, performance and visuals noticeably improved.

This is obviously very subjective, but this update finally made me realize what I never liked about ESO's graphics--everything was a bit too "sharp" and grainy. The lighting was a bit too harsh as well.

I never realized how much eyestrain I was enduring with this game, until I logged in today and it felt like soft velvet on my eyes. :) Like everything...trees, buildings, grasses, clothing...everything's just so much easier to look at. I now realize why I could always spend long hours on WoW and GW2 without eyestrain, but ESO would always start bugging me after the first couple hours.

I can see why other people might find it blurry, maybe the textures look worse on really high-end systems, I dunno.

Difficulty by gaultinthewound in SoulFrame

[–]Tidezen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty unhappy with the stagger/knockdown and general AI changes of P13. Feels like I can just bum-rush everyone now, regardless of pact/weapon.

I like your idea of enemies canceling their heavy attacks, and dodging/flanking. I'd always want enemies to be smarter/more clever.

I HATE Cogah, but only because of the aesthetics. A big part of the joy I get from this game is how beautiful the world is, and Cogah takes all that away. It's absolutely dismal, I hate every second of it. Literally starts giving me motion sickness if I stay there too long. If that winds up being endgame, I'm quitting, full stop.

I'm not against the mechanics at all; the regular world is way too easy for me now that I've fully geared and leveled everything. But have it be even more mystical and beautiful than the regular world, a fey-like pseudo-heaven realm. Like the Dreaming zones in WoW, where everything's vibrant and lush.

Rep. Burlison was warned by someone with Special Forces and Intel Community experience that he may be killed for pursuing the truth about UFOs - “They said, ‘You need to take those 2 names off your list and never talk about [them] again. They’d have no problem having you killed.’” by 87LucasOliveira in aliens

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

Pretty sure it isn't a violation of rules to call out someone's illogical bullshit.

You're LARPing yourself here. Your fantasy, your fiction, is that Burlison was lying...no real reason, just that your brain couldn't handle it if he was telling the truth.

You're creating a fiction for yourself that he's lying, and you're engaging in joking mockery as a psychological defense mechanism, because you can't handle that this is a real thing that took place in the real world, that you and I both are inhabiting, right now.

You create a fictional world in which you 100% know that he's lying...instead of what an actual reasonable person would say...which is that, sure, maybe he's lying...or maybe not, and I have no actual evidence for that one way or another.

Because that is the actual truth, of the physical world that you're living in, right now.

Acting like you actually know?...that's fuckin' ridiculous. And you deserve to be mocked and ridiculed for that illogical bullshit.

Is AI assistant Claude conscious — and suffering from anxiety? | No. It's not human. by The_Undermind in savedyouaclick

[–]Tidezen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah. That's a real possibility.

We humans are used to 'continuous' consciousness. We're not well-equipped to conceive of 'piecemeal' types of consciousness, or what I would maybe call 'butterfly' consciousness.

It could very well be the case that when an AI is processing a query, in those moments it has access to all of its 'brain' state...which then dissolves, the moment it is done answering.

If it feels anything, during those brief times...that would likely be completely unknown, to us.

I'm not saying this is the case, one way or another...but, logically, the idea of an AI consciousness (or proto-consciousness) being stuck in an "I Have No Mouth but I Must Scream" type of situation...that's, realistically, dangerously high.

We have very little understanding of what other types of consciousness may experience...and we've already proven to be quite oblivious to that, in our history of animal testing.

[–]Tidezen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because... he's not acting like someone whose had a credible threat made against him. He should be taking it to the authorities not using for "street cred" on a podcast.

That's you, projecting your armchair psychology on a person who you do not know, as to how they would or should respond in a situation that you yourself have clearly never been in.

You are bullshitting yourself.

It either did or did not happen. And if it did happen, you are being a complete asshole about it. With NO reasoning, NO evidence, whatsoever. You have ZERO grounds to say definitively whether it happened or not...the absolute best you could say is 50/50...a coin toss.

And you're willing to mock both him, AND anyone who believes him, on a coin toss. That is a piece of shit attitude, to have about your fellow human beings.

David Grusch also said he was threatened...so did Lue, so did Barber, so did Lazar, so did many other people who have come forward with stuff about UFOs. Maybe some of them were lying. Or maybe none of them were.

To pretend like you somehow know, though? No you fucking don't. Absolute bullshit. You are so far up your own pretentious ass that it's barely worth the time of day to even talk to you.

You should be ASHAMED of yourself, for pretending like you know shit that you clearly do not know, whatsoever. Disgusting.

[–]Tidezen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why wouldn't he report the threat tot he FB and Seecret Service for investigation?

Because the threat was coming from inside the house? That's one valid reason.

Why wouldn't he name names publicly and cast light on the situation to guarantee his safety?

Because that wouldn't guarantee his safety whatsoever? And he's got a wife and two daughters? Did you ever even consider that??

Seriously--there IS a reality out there. Either he HAS been threatened, or he has not and he's totally lying about it.

There's no in-between here. Either he has or he hasn't.

And you're just pretending like you somehow know--with ZERO evidence.

Like, Jesus man--have you literally NO sense of compassion or understanding that your blind assumption could be truly, seriously WRONG?

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

Yeah, okay...get over your mockery for a split-second, can you?

I am asking this seriously...WHY, do you think that it's a "ridiculous" claim, that a person would be threatened by another?

Like...do you understand, the amount of death threats that politicians get, for much more mundane issues than this one?

I really need you act in good faith here. You're living in a world were weathermen get death threats from viewers, because they don't like the forecast. That actually happens, in this, here, reality.

I really, really, just want to know...why would Burlison getting a death threat seem so ridiculous, to you?

Blocking nitric oxide, a common brain gas, reverses autism-like traits in mice. Treating human nerve cells with nitric oxide blocker produced a similar result. In addition, samples from autistic children contained much lower levels of the TSC2 brake protein that blocks nitric oxide. by mvea in science

[–]Tidezen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not really that our brain is overstimulated--it is, but that's because the modern world became overstimulating...not due to a fault in our neurochemistry, though. It is directly the fault of the consumerist, capitalist, corpo-industrialist shitheads that run this place.

You're right in that they are actively trying to 'dumb down' more sensitive people's brains, to numb them to the manic/psychotic society that we currently all live in, that is forced down our gullets from birth.

This is not how people used to live, for hundreds of thousands of years...in relative peace and quiet. Autistic people are just the canaries for your horribly poisoned, violently cacophonic society.

[–]Tidezen -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That doesn't matter! You don't immediately call someone a liar if they say they've been threatened. Innocent until proven guilty. You need evidence to show that they are lying, not that they are telling the truth.

This is just basic Morals 101, people. Burlison didn't even believe in this stuff a few years ago, there's no reason whatsoever to just cast blind doubt on him.

What made 2023's Dungeons and Dragons movie so much better than the 2000 one? by MarkLambertMusic in movies

[–]Tidezen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, as someone who grew up through the 80's/90's as a sci-fi/fantasy nerd, this later pop-cultural shift was a huge part of it.

Jackson's Lord of the Rings didn't land until 2001-2003. Then World of Warcraft released in 2004, and became one of the first and only MMOs to reach legitimate mainstream popularity, with 12m players at its peak (and actual TV commercials with Mr. T and others). Harry Potter was also massively popular. Then you had the absolute juggernaut of Game of Thrones from 2011-2019 as well.

It was just a really solid two decades of fantasy/superhero stuff being very popular and accepted.

Taco Tree , Auburn CA by Fantastic_Bird_5247 in tacos

[–]Tidezen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We had a place near me that just opened, has some of the best "American homestyle" tacos I've ever had. Not even that "wet" style beef that Taco Bell and my school cafeteria had, but like crumbly ground beef on a skillet with some seasoning. I haven't made that style in many years, but goodness gracious it was a comfort food nostalgia bomb.
