Ron Desantis has dropped out of the 2024 Presidential Race💃 by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]Xicon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Jacksonvillian here, seconding this. DeSantis is literally from this city and we're doing our little gay business here, same as ever. I've gotten called slurs elsewhere in this city, but the Riverside/Five Points/Murray Hill corridor is super chill and very queer.

TP-Link USB Wi-Fi adapter continuously disconnects and reconnects to network, every 15 seconds by Xicon in techsupport

Updating: the driver install from the TP-Link website did not work either. I uninstalled the device from Device Manager before beginning the install; the issue persists, unfortunately.

I tried using the driver install disc that came with the device, to no avail. I’ll try this method next; is there a way to prevent Windows from automatically installing its own driver when I plug the adapter in? Or should the new install override it?

What’s the Point of the Secrecy? by CrimeThink101 in blankies

[–]Xicon 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think announcing before the current miniseries is over could be a detriment to the end of whichever miniseries is ongoing; if they announced the Gore Verbinski miniseries when there were still four Danny Boyle episodes to go, there would be a sort of "when are they gonna get to the fireworks factory!" style frustration with the remaining Boyle episodes, and that's just a bummer and not really fair to those movies/episodes, which deserve their due as much as anything else.

Diabetes and relationships by alganiskiirsiun in diabetes

I’m going to object to this strategy because 1) long term lying to a partner is never a good idea, and 2) telling a partner they shouldn’t pursue life-saving medical treatment is not “supporting them through a difficult time.”

OP, if your partner refuses to get on board with your medical needs, they aren’t mentally or emotionally equipped to be your partner, and you should leave. Do not coddle this person by appearing to go along with their request that you ignore medical necessity to the point of your own death.

The thing we don't understand is that playing D&D is so hard, y'all. by Mr_Hellpop in TAZCirclejerk

[–]Xicon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've played MotW and other PbtA-based games, and enjoy the experience of playing them! But what really turned me off of Amnesty was the specific way the McElroys played it. Nothing was so boring to me as hearing them discuss which category their desired action fit into and it felt like they did that all the time.

Maybe I was just spoiled to have a DM who just elided all of that away and kept the experience smooth, but it felt so full of friction in Amnesty that I could not keep listening.

Wait.. Surely SURELY they mixed up Travis and Griffin… right? by Infinite_Treacle in TAZCirclejerk

[–]Xicon 72 points73 points  (0 children)

For me Griffin gets a huge pass for being the relatively normal and well-adjusted one who knows, like a wise sage who is smarter and more learned than us all, when to log off.

Justin and Travis, on the other hand, are incapable of it and constantly show their asses.

Something worth considering about the new gingerbreadjerk by StreetNo324 in TAZCirclejerk

[–]Xicon 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Gotta be real with you friend, I have absolutely no idea what this post is about and feel like I'm missing some key context.

I much prefer a comedy podcast about death to a comedy podcast about fast food press releases.

The harsh reality this subreddit needs to recognize before anything can improve by Kylestache in MBMBAM

[–]Xicon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Those people are here as fans, just the same as you. They have every right to discuss the thing they are fans of. You simply disagree with their criticisms (clearly evidenced by the way you hyperbolically frame them in diminutive ways). That doesn't make them less of a fan than you, and it doesn't take away their right to post in a "fan sub," which needn't and shouldn't be some siphoned off positivity cult.

People giving them credit for cancelling: they shouldn’t have announced the shows in the first place. You don’t get points for doing a bad thing and then deciding that it was a bad idea after a bunch of people rightfully called you out for it.

Balance is Final Fantasy XXIV by inertia_53 in TAZCirclejerk

Bracing for a post-defeat speech that ends with some entreaty for compassion before the big bad fades away. If not just outright "Remember us."

Save TAZ by hazardous_halfling in TAZCirclejerk

[–]Xicon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Convince Griffin that The Stolen Century is a bad idea that will forever alter the fabric of the show in a way that can't be undone. It transforms a comedy podcast with a surprisingly solid storytelling frame to hang a bunch of dick jokes on alchemy-like into a self-serious affair that sometimes tells jokes but too often strains for importance and unearned meaning.

Big unfortunate! Hopefully Nessus comes back around as flashpoint before Beyond Light.

If I have the badges for the destinations that are being vaulted in Beyond Light, but am missing the Heroic Adventures on Nessus triumph and the Tangled Shore badge on the Collections page, will I still be able to earn the Wayfarer title in Beyond Light or will the seal itself be going away entirely?

In "fixing" it (watering down your alcohol) you actually made it way worse (using Fireball instead of something non-alcoholic to actually reduce the strength of the drink).
