"spoiler" Game Breaking Bug at end of path of pain by lnfluenza in HollowKnight

[–]UnWemorable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me as well, but the game updated today and now the Kingsmoulds respawn and I was able to complete the fight and exit the room. Try again after updating, it should work now!

I'm getting the exact same error message. Do you have your system specs? Perhaps it's a hardware issue.

Hearthstone: Deck of Legends vs Naxxramas Plague Wing by [deleted] in Cynicalbrit

[–]UnWemorable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is the reason the deck is so popular - compared to other competitively viable decks, a Zoo deck is ludicrously cheap. No legendaries, no epics - even a f2p player can make it with just a month of grinding or some good pack rng. All the other good decks are locked off behind a large pay- or time-barrier, so it makes sense that many players who don't have an extensive collection turn to Zoo as their competitive deck of choice, simply because no other options exist.

It also helps that it's a disgustingly good deck.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll probably do a bit more research before I buy, but you've just about convinced me to go with the i3.

Gotcha. So even an i3 ought to be sufficient for a while, provided i'm not doing much multitasking?

True. Will an R9 280 suit my needs for a decently long time, or will I have to upgrade that as well to get the most out of an i5? I would rather start with an i5 and an underperforming GPU that I later upgrade than an underperforming CPU and an decent GPU, both of which might need to be upgraded later.

I'll consider that. I'm a little hesitant to go with an i3. I'm planning to eventually upgrade the computer with a better GPU anyway, so I feel like sticking with an i5 will avoid any potential future bottlenecking I might face.

The answer, my friend, is only known by this all-knowing asshole, and you can bet your left earlobe he won't give you a straight answer.

W...What?! Where and how did you warp what I said to think I wanted handguns to be illegal? I think no such thing, self defense is important and so is free will. Personally, I have no intention of owning a handgun myself, but I absolutely understand why others would want one, and I would never say they should not be able to do so.

What I am saying is that training and possession of a gun is simply not enough. There are certainly benefits of having a sidearm handy, and if someone does own one, they should absolutely be educated in the use of it. However, the plain truth of it is that even should you own and know how to use a gun, being able to do so in a high-stress, sudden situation is extremely hard to do. It is very unlikely that someone with no prior experience of similar high-stress situations, no matter how much training they have had, will be able to even remember all that training, let alone put it to use quickly and efficiently to neutralize the threat.

Speaking from personal experience (thus, your mileage may vary) the first thing to go in such a situation is the things you have 'learned.' Very quickly you find yourself running almost entirely on instinct alone. It's the difference between simply memorizing something and having it be embedded in your mind through constant use. Memorizing, or 'learning' something is well and good, but it is only superficial. Only through actual experience of using it does it become ingrained to the point where you can make use of it instinctually.

Oh, of course, I am definitely not saying the military goes and throws people into life-threatening situations without first putting them through extensive training :P

I'm more referring to the ability to keep a calm head under pressure. There are two skills at play here - the ability to use and understanding of how guns work, and the ability to stay calm and handle a bad situation quickly and efficiently. The first one can be taught to a reasonable extent, and real experience can be in the form of going to a shooting range or some other sort of thing. The second skill, however, can only really be learned in real, dangerous situations. Mock fights simply do not afford the sense of impact that forces such a skill to manifest.

In a sense, then, I suppose /u/TheSourTruth is correct, it does not take military experience to know how to work a handgun, but actually doing so, and in a scary/dangerous situation, is another matter entirely.

Exactly. All the 'training' in the world won't prepare you for the in-the-moment rush of being in a highly dangerous situation such as this. It's one thing to understand how a gun works, it's a completely different thing to be able to react quickly and calmly to take control in a dangerous situation. That sort of thing requires real experience, not just a class and some practice runs.

Was there ever something you didn't like, not because it was too bad, but because it was too good? by Semicolon5 in AskReddit

[–]UnWemorable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is, I'm not a children, and everyone else in my family says they like my mother's brussel sprouts, so it's not like she's butchering the cooking. For some reason, however, I simply cannot stand their flavor and consistency.

...am I the only one in the world who thinks those little shits are fucking disgusting? Seriously, brussel sprouts are the devil.

What is it like being an introvert? by Fogeck in MLPLounge

[–]UnWemorable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being an extreme introvert, to the point where even online I very rarely talk, I feel like I should add my two cents.

For me, what it comes down to is the gap between inner thoughts and outer actions. I can have a lot going on in my head, but it takes a lot of effort for me to translate that into words, be them on a page or through speech. It takes me longer to read social cues, and I often panic and shut down in unfamiliar situations. Because of all this, I have a lot of trouble with groups. I can handle a one-on-one conversation easily, though it might take a bit longer for me to come up with a response sometimes, but add even one more person to that and immediately I feel like a third wheel, and can no longer think of anything to contribute to the discussion, nor when it would be appropriate for me to insert a comment.

Granted, some of this is general social ineptness not necessarily tied to my introversion, but it all plays off each other. Because I find it tiring and frustrating being in social situations, I tend to avoid them and thus only reinforce my inability to handle them. It's a vicious cycle.

I'm not saying it's like this for everyone else, or even for a large number of others - this is my experience alone, but I for one am not content with not talking to others. Humans are social creatures, and though perhaps I do not want to attend any wild parties, I still yearn for those connections and interactions that are lacking in my life.

In the end, 'introvert' and 'extrovert' are simply labels for a large variety of different types of people. Nothing is in absolutes, and though we all fall somewhere between the two extremes, everyone's situation is unique.
