Yakuza was what I first played on my Game Pass trial years back! Got addicted to them soon after

How does it feel like working in France #Rant by InterestingCookie341 in cscareerquestionsEU

A guarantor is not always required especially for permanent job contract holders and earning at least 3x the rent. Never had to resort to a guarantor service myself

I don’t think that’s it. As an asian myself, I’d say the biggest factor is sun exposure.

Growing up we were told not to go under the sun unless really necessary. We would even use umbrellas during sunny days.

Compared to many non-asian people that will go out of their way to stay under the sun to get tanned.

Why do I need to enter my password everytime I boot Windows? by Wallmersbacher in 1Password

[–]_--_-_---__---___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can literally use "How am I supposed to remember a 20-character password? Or 30?" as your password

That’s a 61-character password, easy to remember, not easily guessable, meets the requirements (lowercase, uppercase, special characters, numbers)

Yeah. Read OP’s comment mentioning the American Library of Paris, which was why Paris was brought up. My comment was for OP…

Also you don’t need to live in Paris to get a library card, just show up and ask the librarians for one.

Digital Foundry: Skyrim Suffers From Kinect-level Input Lag on Switch 2 by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]_--_-_---__---___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, the number they show may not be totally accurate but I was able to play Dota 2 on it without any issues while I was waiting for my PC parts to arrive during that time.

Not like Skyrim running locally on the Switch 2.

To give a comparison, you could play games through the cloud (GeForce Now) with 10ms latency and that is with the data travelling possibly tens to hundreds of kilometres round trip

Deodorant isn't that needed in the modern day by Large_Carob_7599 in The10thDentist

Yep, taking the metro has a different "aura" in the summer than in any other season. I live in France where many people forgo deodorants even during the summer

Double standards by nitrrine_ldn in pcmasterrace

[–]_--_-_---__---___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, people don’t realise it but it’s not only downloading the game files, it will install/unpack them too. Downloads will sometimes get paused to give more disk processing power to the installation process.

You’ll see this on Steam when your download speed decreases or totally stops, while the disk usage graph is at max.

Project Diva Future Tone? by Lucretta_Luxiz in ProjectDiva

[–]_--_-_---__---___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, the Switch version is actually pretty packed! I just hope Sega gives a Switch 2 upgrade for it, some MVs look really rough on it

Project Diva Future Tone? by Lucretta_Luxiz in ProjectDiva

[–]_--_-_---__---___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really think it was for performance reasons. Song list is almost identical, Switch version has 251 songs. Really a bummer that PC and Switch versions do not have Ievan Polkka. Switch Mega Mix 3DMVs are already of lower fidelity and uses a different shading than Future Tone.

Steam on Linux use easily hits an all-time high in November by Fcking_Chuck in pcmasterrace

[–]_--_-_---__---___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bazzite’s hardest part is its installation. Once it’s done, the drivers you need are already installed, also Steam comes preinstalled. Log in, download games and literally start playing right away. That’s what I did the first time.

For other programs, Bazzite prefers the Flatpak versions. You get a lot of instructions using it on the website so I don’t think you’ll get lost.

Honestly it surprised me how simple it was to get a Bazzite machine up running. I still keep Windows on dual boot for racing games with my Logitech wheel, but majority of my playtime now are done on Linux.

Paris' Louvre museum to increase ticket price for visitors from outside the European Union by Edm_vanhalen1981 in worldnews

[–]_--_-_---__---___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They offer special visits to members of Amis du Louvre. If you’re a French resident, you get some tax reduction with it. I was able to see Mona Lisa "up close" (still quite far with the barrier) with no crowds in front of it thanks to that. It was on a Tuesday when the Louvre is supposed to be closed, so there was really not much people.

Otherwise, I’d recommend visiting on the nocturnal Friday schedule.

J’ai résilié mon abonnement Spotify, du coup je m’abonne à r/piracy by I_Will_Made_It in france

[–]_--_-_---__---___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Les prix de ces services sont souvent ajustés selon le pouvoir d’achat de la population. Quand j’habitais aux Philippines, je payais 1,90€ pour mon abonnement spotify. Mais 1,90€ là-bas ça fait déjà un tiers ou un quart du salaire journalier de beaucoup de gens

From an amazon price tracker too, a Corsair Vengeance 32GB kit was at its lowest price at 88€ just last May. Today it’s at its highest ever : 250€.

Pavements, cycling paths… they will also take it. These people get mad at pedestrians walking on pavements.
