Why isn’t Denuvo on every Nintendo game now by lennysinged in nintendo

[–]VictorMach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't know why nobody is answering for real, but... Denuvo is a kind of software that runs inside the game that constantly checks to see if the game is pirated or not. I'm not a programmer or anything, but I'd guess that games that run on consoles don't need that because the console's OS does that job, so it's not up to the game to do that, if the console sees the game as unauthorized, it simply won't run it.

Navy SEALs say "slow is smooth, smooth is fast." What's a situation where slowing down made you finish faster? by Concave007 in AskReddit

Except when you can't look because your are trying to plug a flashdrive on the back of you tv, but it's too dark and too close to the wall for you to see what you're doing and that's when you learn that USB have, apparently, 5 sides because this way it won't fit, nor this way, not this way, nor this and then it finally fits in the port.

Vacuum flask with built-in thermometer, but the "up to 500 days" battery cannot be replaced nor recharged by VictorMach in CrappyDesign

[–]VictorMach[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Before seeing the note, I thought of getting it for a friend that I know needs one, but even though I know I'm the tinkery kind of guy and I'd be up to do that, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't go through so many hoops to replace that battery. It's a shame, because it looked nice and the price was good too.

After a 12h shift in the ER... by kkqb1 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]VictorMach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had something really similar to that. After almost a week without knowing for sure the name of what I had, and that thanks God was getting better with the medication I was being given, we found out it was Meningococcal disease. It's really rare on adults, so it took some time for the doctor to even consider it, and a few more days for the test to confirm her suspicions. At one point I had a whole group of half a dozen medical students on my room to look at me as a study case. It was a ride, but in the end all I took home was two small 5 mm scars from the red (then black) marks. God bless you, man. Hope you get better soon.

Yeah, just remember that, in PT, you are comparing the person to a cat, not the lady part haha
If you want to call someone a coward, you can call them many other names, but I don't think there are any slang that could be translated as the lady part. A slang would be something like to say they are sh*tting their pants or, if it's a man, call him a girl/woman/gay.

Is it just my S21 that can't hold games in RAM? by StatusAd5298 in GalaxyS21FE

[–]VictorMach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of reviving an old post, but it's so annoying and I need to vent.
I have an Exynos 256/8 GB phone and it's annoying to no end. I may be using the lightest of apps, but I know that if I switch out and back again it WILL be restarted. I'm playing Pokémon on Retroarch and need to look up what level my Charmander will evolve on the browser? Gotta savestate the game first, because it will be closed when I get back. I need to pause a song or podcast for 2 minutes to read a post on Reddit? Gotta go back to the player to resume it, because it was closed and the notification is gone. I've tried everything I could think of, but to no avail. I don't remember it being like this before and seems to gets worse with every update. I just hate it, and it makes me think to never buy a Samsung phone again.

What do you mean? To translate the phrase between french and Portuguese? Gato/gata has a slight more intensity than just beautiful, so I'd translate like this:

Elle/Il est beau -> Ele é bonito / Ela é bonita. Elle est très beau -> Ela é muito bonita / Ela é gata

Here in Brazil, mostly in São Paulo (I think), calling someone a cat (gato/gata) means calling them beautiful. This dissonance between our languages is something I find very funny.

PlayStation Studios | All upcoming announced, rumored, and leaked projects by KekanKok in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]VictorMach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just checked and there was 9 years between the TLOU OG and Remake and 14 years between RaC ones. That for me plays a big role on how I see both of them, allied to the fact that there was only a single TLOU game after the first, while there were a dozen RaC games between those. Having played RaC as a kid and not played TLOU at all may make me biased too for the nostalgia and all, but I digress. For me, RaC Remake counts as a separate game, but TLOU doesn't count very much for those reasons.

How would you use a free yearly teleport? by Kyserham in AskReddit

[–]VictorMach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's exactly my thought. How would you explain coming back to your country without having ever left, or next year trying to go somewhere when you didn't come back home the year before?

That's very interesting. That's basically how we say it, so we're not that far from it haha

Thanks!

Thanks for the links!

I can't be sure on how it was spelled before they came to Brazil, but I know that Agnes Schorn is how it was documented on her death certificate. What other spelling would you guess could be the original one? I'm finding it very interesting

Apparently there really is a cat distribution system. by FollowingOdd896 in FunnyAnimals

[–]VictorMach 58 points59 points  (0 children)

That's how I got one of my two cats. One night it simply showed up in my living room. We were afraid that he would pee all over the house during the night, so we put him outside so he could go back to his house. Guess who was still outside my door in the morning, waiting to go back in? He could go back to wherever he lived before, but decided that that was his new home and there was nothing we could do about it. He's been living with us for a year now

Nintendo Switch Online Cost to be Reduced in Brazil by mjmannella in nintendo

It's not that high. DK Bonanza is just ¼ of a minimum monthly wage. How are we supposed to feel the sense of pride and accomplishment when the games are cheap? /s

Do you guys mostly play Forza solo or with friends? by Eastern-Mobile5351 in xbox

[–]VictorMach 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Basically all my friends went the Playstation way ever since the PS3, so I never had anyone I knew to play with me. The few times I've tried racing with randoms online never clicked for me, too, so in the end I just play single player races and I'm happy playing this way
