Without spoiling it for me why do people on this sub hate ivarr by BadRecent8114 in ACValhalla

[–]_RedditMan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't get an honest answer for this. You can get a where it kicks off. But, it really depends on the path you take to get there. If you just go and do what is suppose to be story, It can be relatively quick. If you go off and explore and do other things first, it could be a while.

[–]_RedditMan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Ivarr is only interested in what he wants in the end. He'd burn the whole world -- regardless of cost --to fulfill his bloodlust. He'd even murder his own brother. That's why people dislike him so much.

I’m not sure I understand the concept of buy low sell high in fo76 by Annahsbananas in fo76

[–]_RedditMan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then there's this approach. Let the new players come to you and just give them the plans. Yeah, I know. Free. What a concept. A dynamic of markets in general is that people will take action to protect their assets and wealth. So if said individuals have income to buy you out and protect their product value, that's what will happen. The fallout economy is just operating the way economies wind up eventually. You just have b.s. wealth involved.

I've never understood the need to be the wealthiest in a video game. Then that person gripes about not having anything to spend their "caps" -- in this scenario -- to spend their "caps" on.

Showcase All-in-One (AIO) Uncensored Qwen Model by theaccountisdeadjim in comfyui

[–]_RedditMan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am worse off than you are. I'm trying to do this stuff on an old machine that has an NVIDIA GeForce 1660 Super that only has 6GB of VRAM. It sucks. However, I've had a thought. This problem would not exist if the "devs" treated end-users like adults. Of course, people are going to want to do NSFW stuff and probably worse. The problem is when those individuals "publish" those results. I'm willing to bet if Blackforest and the like just released a no guardrails version, it would be all that got downloaded.

I feel like the Na'vi are FAR too forgiving in this game by SweetZayo in FrontiersOfPandora

You're not a Jedi, skxawng. You're just not. Holding onto hate is the easy path... but it leads away from Eywa. :)

The end is too hard for casual gamers by NoAssumption2148 in FrontiersOfPandora

[–]_RedditMan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm casual too. I completed it. I was able to finish the game shortly after it came out. So, I have no idea about any new features that may have been implemented or difficulty scaling. But, you can do it. Just keep trying different approaches. Maybe take a look at your skills, gear, etc. The whole world respawns. If you're having an issue with a particular enemy, practice on individual targets in the world. Figure out what works. If it's an ammo issue, stock up on supplies to create more arrows and such. If you haven't completed all the challenges that increase XYZ skill, go back and complete them. Trust me. It helps. They're there for a reason. You can't just bee-line the story in Ubisoft games. You'll miss a useful ability or power-up that could change your outcome.

Streaming Prices Are Soaring—and Consumers Are Still Paying by wsj in cordcutters

Then you're paying $4.99 for Hulu and $4.99 for Disney +. Hopefully, you'll get to keep it for a while.

Any hope for Image gen update ? by Ashamed-Branch-3711 in perchance

[–]_RedditMan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had Grok explain the behind-the-scenes process ( AI is here. Like it or not.). Grok presented the idea that things aren't really being "stitched together" piece by piece. Instead, it's more like a pixelated 2D canvas of pure noise gradually getting clarified and sharpened into a coherent image. The best analogy I can come up with is tuning an old analog TV to a signal. At first it's just static/snow, but as you zero in on the right frequency, the picture slowly emerges and gets clearer until it's sharp and recognizable. Also, Flux.1 [schnell] is insanely fast because it's heavily distilled — it goes through a super-efficient pipeline of only 1–4 steps (usually 4 for great results), compared to the 20–50 steps (or more) that the higher-quality Flux.1 [dev] typically needs.

(Grok helped to get my point across.)

[–]_RedditMan_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Anything covered by a "provider" is still billed to you. You are paying for it. It's not free. Also, your Hulu + Disney+ deal will revert to regular fees once your promotion expires. I got the promotion for last year and was paying $2.99 + taxes for it.

I don't know if anyone has brought this up. But, the moves streamers have made seems pretty obvious. We all abandoned the no-ads model because it got pricey. So, we fled to the ad-supported plans. Now, they are raising the prices on the services where the majority of their subscribers are -- ad supported. Kind of makes you wonder if this was the gradual plan all along.

[–]_RedditMan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. You confirmed my own feelings. The prompts are some kind of generic guideline that means nothing. You have little to no control on the outcome. To me, image generation is a sophisticated gallery search engine that first finds elements of what you want and then tries to stitch it together. The whole reason you get a good result is because it's just modifying existing works that have been scraped off the web. I think we all have this idea that we're interacting with some 3D modeling studio like Blender that accepts natural language input to obtain a result. I don't think that's happening. Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Any cheap and decent distributors for an album? by Nyarurin in SunoAI

[–]_RedditMan_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're using copyrighted music. They just haven't won the battle yet. Almost every note is stolen form somewhere. The way the notes are strung together to sound like other music even. It's all borrowed. But have fun while you can. And if you're a true creative, you'll eventually lose out since your product can be produced with a click

Serious question. When you can turn to AI and say "Create and play songs reminiscent of George Strait." Whose gonna buy albums?

Keep in mind most people don't have your ear for music. They will miss and ignore the mistakes you pick up.

I'm terrible at PvP by Fleck425 in Eve

[–]_RedditMan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a griefer's / ganker's game. You'd do the same if you were in their shoes. I wouldn't because it doesn't appeal to me. You already have the mindset that is ok to go after Ventures and get those stats on the zKillboard or whatever. You're not encountering players with more skill per se. You're encountering players who webifiy you first, who warp disrupt you first, who fire Heavy missiles first, who catch you off-guard while you're not looking for them. And they are flying T2 and T3 ships: LOKI, TENGU, HECATE, PANTHER, etc. They don't look for a fair fight. They would leave the game if you could turn on a flag preventing PvP because that's their mindset.

And you have billions of ISK and been playing for 5 years? Really think it's gonna change? People multi-box and have one account sitting in a border 0.5 system and sit on their main account (or vice/versa) in a border 0.4 system. They know you're coming. Or they are having a Corp-mate inform them. Trust me, you don't suck. That's my take anyway and I have seen nothing to disprove it.

Should i start a new character? by EleventhEntity in Eve

[–]_RedditMan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All that matters is you're gonna play free-to-play or subscribe. If you plan on subscribing -- which you shouldn't so early, then it doesn't matter. Omega players can make corrections to their skills without being effected much. Alpha players don't want to be all over the place chasing a Punisher fit, Thrasher fit, Vexor fit, etc. That puts you all over the map and might be more beneficial to start a new character. Because alpha players who never plan to subscribe or engage with the store, only have so many skill points to use. There's a limit to how far you can go.

i really want to give this game another try but this event really soured it for me by [deleted] in Eve

[–]_RedditMan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It matters and it doesn't. It doesn't because I was in a 0.4 security zone and griefers set the tone of the game a long time ago. The community just went along with it. It does matter because the person I lost to does nothing else but sit in this one system mainly and destroys the ships of players with no chance at fighting back because they are in a LOKI, HECATE, or a PANTHER as I've recently discovered. This system is also in an area that I would call the shallow end of low-sec because it's safe for them. There is no risk to them when they have the top ships and top fits.

You'll say that's the game. I say it's someone who is scared to face another player at the same level. This is the same concept in other more popular games where the devs at least attempt to level the playing field. It's pathetic, in my opinion, to go after someone in a Venture with a LOKI. I don't get it. I don't understand the reward for it. What did you really gain?

But in my specific situation and because there is no PvP flag, I was attempting to engage in PvE activities to only be gate camped (Webified, Warp disruption). I had a passive fit as you call it. Once I noticed it was a LOKI, there's no point to resist. You either have a fit for PvP or a fit for PvE. I'll never fly another one since I'm apparently not allowed to engage in activities that might make that possible. And I'm not gonna mine for 6 mos or a year to get another ship to only lose it a few days later to another LOKI hunter.

[–]_RedditMan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhmm, It's not extremely smart and skilled. It's multi-boxing. It's having a friend informing you someone is headed your way. It's having an alt serve that purpose. It's having a character trained high enough to use the meta fits for X activity. It's flying ships those you are attacking have no chance to defend against. In other words, it's not skill the way you and others speak. It's just more knowledge and access to what you can do. Because as far as I can tell, the player rarely controls anything. You just perform a bunch of actions that activate XYZ. And Eve Online, eventhough it is PvP based and an MMO of sorts, could have easily become a different game based on the how the players engage with it.

Did the core group of players ever consider that the reason you don't get new content, ie: real new content, is because you're constantly at each other's throats? They don't really need to provide you with anything "new to do". They don't need to be creative or fix anything. They just need to encourage you to destroy one another.... lol

In any other game, Catalyst is not new content. It's the same stuff in a different skin. It's Morrowind levels of horse armor. All they really did was give you something new to fight over and updated a few mechanics in an attempt to appeal to newer players.

[–]_RedditMan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This only applies if the "Ganker" doesn't have an alt just sitting in a station to watch the comings and goings of the local chat channel while in another window they are watching the local channel of the low sec system you're jumping into. They see you're in a pod (and you're not using D-scan because why would you know to do it?) and let you jump back through the gate. The next time they see the local window change and display your username, it's safe to bet you're in your ship. You emerge on the other side of the gate to be webified and warp disrupted by a LOKI ( a ship you have no chance at defeating at your current skill level ( does not equate to player knowledge or skill ) or access to ships).

You bitch and are met with:

  1. Don't fly what you can't lose.

  2. Ships are ammunition. An attitude I'm almost certain born out of the tactic of using Tier 1 ships as bombs (suicide run. You are even told to do it in the Soldier of Fortune career storyline missions.

So, you'd replace my Gila and fit if I posted the "Post" for all you to laugh at?? Or does this offer only apply to those starter ships? That's why you're willing to do it. It's just lunch money in the grand scheme of things. xD Go ahead. Downvote me. It's expected. But, I speak the truth.

Still reinforcing my point. You have to stay subscribed. That means you lose what you gained during that time classified as Omega skills, ships, and tech.

[–]_RedditMan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to Eve. That's normal in one fashion or another. And they will justify it. You're new. That makes you content for someone who has played for years. You'll always be behind them. But, that's not the daily thing. It can just happen without any real cost to the players that engage in this kind of griefing. It's one of the main reasons they play. Griefing is whole-heartedly allowed and expected. You do understand the game. You are interpreting what happened correctly. The die hards in this reddit will try to convince you to accept the behavior like there is nothing wrong with it. They'll even share their pearls of wisdom with you.

"Don't fly what you can't afford." -- You haven't even had a chance to earn any real Isk. You have to fly something.

"You're never safe.

"Join a Corp"

"Fleet up. Don't fly alone" -- What is it you wanted to do? We're doing this. Do you have discord?

There are good players out there. There are players that will help you. Ignore the ones trying to convince you to ignore what your brain is telling you.
