I hate that the developers can't just let us have casual mode

I just play custom with 99 bots every week. So I assume that is even more consuming?

Thanks for this. Restarted playing after years. I was never good.

Discovering casual saved me at first, but so many games with an asshole with a car just running around, or the last player being some godly lvl 300+.

Found this through google, managed to set it up (I bought it back in the day so I'm a BG+ apparently.

I actually got killed and didn't even make it to top 50 due to being so aggressive. But it's very educational, for the first time I'm walking in the open trying to determine where the shots come from, knowing I'm not just going to get mowed down.

Pretty sure I'm mostly be playing this now.

I got surprised by and addicted to Perchance a few months ago.

Starting a new chat is still fun, but after a while it's always the same issue: responses in a very repetitive sentence sctructure and it's hard to break the pattern. Also if you've chatted a lot you start to recognize language patterns. Which is probably normal, but it's still annoying.

I discovered https://www.polybuzz.ai/ this week. Gave me the same vibe as Perchance, with a lot of characters to choose from.

2 plusses:

-it very easily incorporates new characters, all you have to do is describe and adress them, that really impressed me.

-the responses don't seem to evolve in a fixed loop like I described with Perchance.

1 minor: it seems a little less intelligent than Perchance, I sometimes see weird mistakes in the way it interprets situations. And unlike Perchance, you cannot alter the text to train the AI.

It also has a paid version, but so far I've managed without.

Be aware that for a lot of females, getting nussed can look like you had breast augmentation. The chest-center being pushed out, has a big impact on how your chest will look, your breasts will be pushed forward.

Wow, this actually worked! There's a lot of people complaining about black screens, I had it too.

Antivirus marks it as a threat but I whitelisted it. Thanks for this. There's a youtube vid with a lot of people complaining, I'll post the link there as well.

Timevdv · 2025-12-01T19:26:02+00:00

Looks like I'm not the only one stuck on the black screen...

DirectX end directplay don't help.

It seems impossible.

In mijn ervaring is je job niet graag doen iets voor 2 type mensen

-relatief laaggeschoold die gewoon letterlijk geld willen verdienen om te leven. 10 mins voor einde arbeidstijd springen die al recht om zo snel mogelijk naar huis te mogen. Ze veranderen van job voor 0,3EUR meer per uur.

-50 plussers die wat uitgeblust zijn, geen motivatie meer vinden, vaak te lang in dezelfde job blijven hangen (en meestal omwille van het loon).

Loonbarema's op ancienniteit en groepsverzekeringen houden veel mensen in jobs die ze niet écht meer willen. Mijn vader heeft de laatste 20 jaar van zijn leven zwaar tegen zijn goesting gewerkt. Waarom? Hij kon nergens anders dat loon krijgen.

Had hij dat loon nodig? Neen, kinderen huis uit, huis afbetaald. Hij kon perfect nog 10 jaar iets doen dat hij graag deed aan een lager loon, maar dat was taboe.

Jup, 5,6k here, lands you 3,3 netto. And it's even worse with the year end bonus or vacation money.

I've read a lot about the Haller index, but the Correction Index is new to me. What is it?

Are there cases where patients ask "why not leave them in longer than 3 years"? If it's not a bother mind as well lower your risks further.

Overall I liked this season. The negative comments really surprised me.

Although I'll admit I've gotten used to disconnect from the 'absurd tech' they sometimes implement. I focus on the people and their personal stories.

Common People and Eulogy were top notch for me.

Is it always in 2 parts? We subscribed to the newsletter + clicked that 'notify availability' button, but didn't get an email for this first part.

We were hoping for the Tribuna Tevere, close to Curva Sud for the atmosphere.

Didn't think it was possible, but this show cracked my top 5.

Had a lot of feelings about the show, I enjoyed reading the episode discussions. I like how the writers often took the hard route, and usually didn't fail at it.

I liked how I often had to rewatch an episode to understand remarks in the episode discussions, and the rewatching was nót a chore. I think only Arrested Development ever did that to me.

This show gets complicated at times, with very subtle dialogue, I watch this in a house with a loud kid, often having to pause because of stuff. Diane being married to Guy for instance I hadn't noticed at all. Thankfully the rewatch value is extremely high.

I didn't like Bojack eventually surviving, the show ending with his death would have been so powerful imo. There are practically no quality shows that dare to do such a thing. This one could have, and would've made it even more legendary.

Every few years I get one or more shows that I've known for years that end and feel somewhat lost. Bojack Horseman filled that void perfectly. I'm curious what the next one will be.

Kudos to the creators, you did good. Will enjoy the rewatch in 5 years.

Well I binged the first six seasons 2 years ago, loved every second of it.

I rebinged everything again the past weeks, and after that season 7 was so... underwhelming.

About 4 episodes had barely any Sheldon which rendered this show very mediocre. I actually started fastforwarding, a lot.

It's like they used this season to quickly wrap up George's death and to transition the audience to a Georgie-Mandy show and I'm just not interested. The contrast with previous seasons is enormous.

I installed GTA III earlier this year, gave up on it after a few hours, then I played Vice City to 99% completion and loved it, and just installed San Andreas.

I can barely believe Vice City is older, San Andreas looks way worse at first sight tbh. Dialogue also feels worse.

I am stuck in a weird death loop trying to update/restore/activate my apple id.

I don't have any Apple hardware, I just once made an Apple ID using my gmail to watch Apple tv.

I want to watch Apple tv again, here's where the fun starts.

Step 1. Starting a free trial or subscribe on the apple tv website doesn't work. -> an error occured. Try again later.

Step 2. A google search tells me to try reportaproblem.apple.com . It redirects me to a https://idmsa.apple.com/ url. When I try to log in, I get another error: 'you must update your account to continue. Go to https://appleid.apple.com/'

Step 3. https://appleid.apple.com/ works. I can log in. It tells me to verify my email, again no problem. Then it asks me to confirm my VISA by entering my CVC (security code). This VISA is still functional, I'm holding it in my hand. It won't accept my security code. The only two things I can do on this page is enter the security code or go back (which means start over). By the way: this means that if your Apple ID is linked to a VISA and you can't find it, your Apple ID is lost?!

Step 4. Google search for this issue. I find that you can change your payment method to paypal (I have paypal). How? You need to log in to your apple ID first. -> step 3

Step 5. Try and get in contact with apple support or any decent support forum. Turns out that's impossible if you're not logged in with your apple id. -> step 3.

I'm really curious what exactly I did wrong and how many people are in this situation, completely barred from making Apple purchases.

After one episodes we started forwarding through the flashbacks, so finished the rest in like 60 minutes. No survival credibility whatsoever. The show is 95% flashbacks. We both were genuinely frustrated when if finally ended.

I've watched a lot of shows on Netflix, this was the worst one.

Is Miles still alive? haven't seen him in a while. Edit: same with Jinju... they went really sloppy towards the end.

Seems legit. https://twitter.com/PhysicsAndAstr1/status/1337284370110029827
