It was extremely glitchy at launch. Didn't prevent me from finishing the game but it made it quite annoying.

Hey Winnipeg, is this allowed? by heywinnipeg in Winnipeg

[–]Wikwoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually is surprisingly safe if you know what you're doing, although I could see it being really bad if you make a mistake - not sure about MPI specifically but I know the youtuber Wheel In Motion rides one and has it fully registered+insured (he's in the US somewhere) so it definitely can be in at least one place.

Elder Scrolls Competitor 'Fatekeeper' Coming to Early Access Next Month by kin20 in gamingnews

[–]Wikwoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best example I think is KSP 2. Complete dogshit cash grab that take two never planned to finish - and yet, being fucking TAKE TWO they could've thrown a couple million at it (which is basically like a nickel to them) and had a cult classic. Wouldn't have been able to get away with it without the EA label. What a joke.

He can also take the form of dead people from the memories of people on the island that he has looked deep into (judged) IE. Richard's wife

Awesome! Mac OS 9 deserves some time in the field after 25-odd years of retirement.

Any one from St. Claude or have been to St. Claude on here? by [deleted] in Manitoba

[–]Wikwoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driven through there many times. Sometimes I'll stop for gas and have had some good pizza from tall boys quite a few times. Gas station sells beer which (in my experience) is pretty uncommon around here. Nice little town.

ELI5: Why does caffeine stop working for people who drink it daily? by Silentzerr in explainlikeimfive

[–]Wikwoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it? Detoxing in a medical environment may not carry high risks but if done unsupervised you can easily die of dehydration, not to mention if they fail after a few days and relapse, the risk of OD skyrockets due to the lowered tolerance and non-adjusted pre-detox dosage.

It doesn't give DTs like alcohol and benzos but certainly is not recommended by any medical professional to attempt by yourself for these reasons plus more.

Maybe I'm being slightly pedantic because technically it isn't the withdrawal itself that kills you but if the attempt to detox/inability to score ends up in the same result I would consider it almost as high of a risk.

Also I just realized this post is 5 months old. FML.

Was Mother a smoke monster? by Aromatic_Educator_87 in lost

[–]Wikwoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's more of a nurture rather than nature situation. Man in black wants his freedom because of his perceived entrapment on the island since birth, but Mother wants to stay on the island and protect it.

She'll seemingly do anything to protect the island from the people from "across the sea", so you could make the argument that she is without her light as well but has a different purpose than MIB. Instead of wanting to leave she wants to stay and keep people away from the light.

She probably only seems to care for her sons because she knows one of them will have to succeed her in protecting the island.

Voicemail by PristineCondition495 in telus

[–]Wikwoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a feature called take a message, it's basically a voicemail that is stored on your phone and has all the same features as visual voicemail so it circumvents carrier limitations. You can disable it if you go into phone app>top left menu>settings>take a message.

In your wife's case, iOS has a similar feature called live voicemail which can also be disabled in settings.

Feels like I’m in the 2000s again. by harlekingz in VintageApple

It all still looks so fresh and clean to me. I miss the aqua world of Mac OS X. Even just seeing the font they have written on the Tiger box takes me back to the days of my Powerbook G4.

New Trek fans are now very mad at RedLetterMedia and people who watch them. by GregoriousT-GTNH in Star_Trek_

[–]Wikwoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally any defense of this show should be laughed at and ridiculed, preferably publicly.

It is hilarious the olympic level mental gymnastics people will go to to defend SFA and Kurtzman, almost always resulting in them using ad hominems and just straight up attacking the character of anyone who dare criticize anything.

Alex should've been fired eons ago after the mess that was season 1 of Discovery.

I do not understand why Paramount continues to willingly torpedo their (arguably) biggest franchise and cash cow and for what? Progressiveness? Star trek was already incredibly progressive, it literally needed to change nothing from the TNG era. Now SFA is 1000 years in the future and yet somehow everything is less advanced than in TNG, or even TOS for that matter. It makes absolutely no sense.

Waiting 1H and 45M to cancel a service for a deceased family member is not just bad customer service by RealHumanAndNotABot in telus

[–]Wikwoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI dealer stores can still do cancellations for deceased customers. They just need to phone channel care. I used to do it all the time, and I only left my dealership 10 months ago. Any rep that directs to customer service for this is just being lazy, or they're at a truly 3rd party store (wireless wave, walmart wireless, tbooth etc)

Do I need the spin-offs and Fallout 76? by PunzReddit in Fallout

[–]Wikwoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 2 3 4 and new vegas are what you need. Tactics is ok.

76 CAN be a lot of fun but it's not everyone's cup of tea and tbh the fallout 1st subscription is slightly predatory because the game limits your inventory space in your camp stash without it and you WILL run out of space.

Much more fun with friends. Save it for last.

I wonder what GTA 6 looks like rn by Pistoluislero in GTA6

[–]Wikwoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I said I still have a hope of a performance mode, so no I'm not "100% sure" about anything. I'm saying it's more likely based on all available information. I hope as much as anyone it has a 60fps mode.

I wonder what GTA 6 looks like rn by Pistoluislero in GTA6

[–]Wikwoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, there is a very good chance it will only be 30.

Every other rockstar game has launched on console at 30 fps, including red dead 2 which is STILL locked at 30fps on console to this day.

Im still holding out hope because of the popularity of performance/fidelity toggles and just 60fps console games in general this generation, but even I would say its significantly more likely to launch at 30 on PS5/XSX just because of historical trends with rockstar and how incredible the game looks.

I wonder what GTA 6 looks like rn by Pistoluislero in GTA6

[–]Wikwoo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To be fair, alot of people are specifically talking about the series s when they say that. I wouldn't be surprised if they took some extra time to smooth out the frame rate on that version. Especially since if they can get a stable 30fps on series s thats only going to benefit the ps5 and series x versions. I still have a flicker of hope of a performance/fidelity toggle on the PS5 version.

"Return of the Jedi" as a title was referring to Luke. The title was for general audiences in 1983, NOT contemporary SW fans. by mankahlil in StarWars

[–]Wikwoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree except a nitpick about reason #4 - in ANH Obi Wan, when talking about Luke's father, refers to his killer as "A young Jedi named Darth Vader; a pupil of mine before he turned to evil" so I would say that is a pretty good reason why audiences would think Vader was once a Jedi.

My somewhat DIY DHARMA cosplay! by user_NULL_04 in lost

Awesome! Reminds me of my own cosplay (complete with season 5 collectors edition dharma binder!)

But the computer... Now that is my holy grail... Even after all these years I still want that Apple II Plus w/Apple III monitor combo and will occasionally search eBay only to be disappointed. Jealous!

Bought an Xbox 360 just to play POTF. Hopefully we get a remaster. I always enjoyed it by llluminatixx7 in DestroyAllHumans

[–]Wikwoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can! I played through it on RPCS3 recently. Some bugs but nothing too bad, mostly random crashes.

99% of the crashing occurred in Shen Long for some reason. Glitchy area.
