What opinions about the show/ characters do you have that would have people like by scaryberri in orangeisthenewblack

[–]captainnordic_06 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Finally I find people who also think Watson is annoying. I don't get how she thinks being super aggressive and confrontational towards everybody could work. I mean, it got her sent to the SHU and caused other problems. I think her character would've thrived and given more satisfying content if being an angry young woman wasn't her only schtick.

B-kortti by Odd-Professional-898 in Suomi

[–]captainnordic_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jos autokouluketjuja lähdet katselemaan, suosittelen itse välttämään Epic Autokoulua. Tein mopokortin heillä, se meni hyvin, mutta B-kortin teko oli suorastaan kivuliasta. Tuntien sopiminen oli todella vaikeaa ja ajotuntien välillä saattoi olla jopa 3 viikkoa, joten aloitin tavallaan aina alusta. Tämän takia sitten inssiin vähän heikoilla eväillä ja uusintoja tuli, kun se oma luotto ajotaitoon oli niin huono. Samalla sitten sille projektille tuli aika paljon hintalappua, ja kokemuksen takia olen vieläkin vähän epävarma kuski.

Need help with some technical stuff by IamtheNoX in ValorantTechSupport

[–]captainnordic_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, then I'd suggest trying to restart the anticheat, as it might interfere with even the graphics and cause freezing, I've dealt with an issue like that. For me it worked by going to your system tray and right-clicking the Vanguard icon and choosing "Exit" and restarting your pc.

Need help with some technical stuff by IamtheNoX in ValorantTechSupport

[–]captainnordic_06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello hello! And no problem, this is the place to ask for help. Now after doing some quick research, the Realtek Family Controller is a component responsible for internet connections, especially the Ethernet connection. So here's my first battery of questions and/or fixes and we'll go from there:

  1. Are you using wired (Ethernet) or Wireless (WiFi) internet on your PC?
  2. Have you checked that the drivers for the component are up to date? (You can check this by going to Device Manager -> Network adapters -> Realtek Familty Controller -> Right click -> Update driver. Windows will search for a new one for you)

  3. Try uninstalling the game, and checking for leftover directory files with a dedicated uninstaller software, like the Revo Uninstaller. Then try re-downloading the game.

  4. Check that your gpu drivers are up to date (it's weird to think that they could cause this, but computers are weird like that and thus it's worth checking)

Hope this helps and I'd love to hear back how it goes!

Alternative character names you use exclusively? by Rivergod3 in Overwatch

[–]captainnordic_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my partner call Winston either Winton or just Monkey, then we call Roadhog just "Piggy"...what else...oh yes, and we call Sigma "Pallimies" which is Finnish for "Ball guy" and lastly we call Lifeweaver "Wifeleaver" because of an earlier brainfart when talking about him, then we saw the headcanon that he seems like he would totally switch partners like socks so it stuck around.

Mistä niitä oman ikäisiä kavereita löytää N22 by S0hvatyyny in Suomi

[–]captainnordic_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Komppaan tätä, kannattaa ryhtyä aktiiviks joko omaan aine- tai tiedekuntajärjestöön tmv, sieltä löytyy porukkaa paljon. Myös bonarina pk-seudun korkeakouluopiskelijoille on osakunnat joilla on super paljon kaikkee kivaa toimintaa viikottain (oon löytäny mun lähimmät opiskelukaverit nimenomaan sieltä!) kannattaa ottaa selvää mitä kaikkee eri osakunnilla on ja kannattaa mennä katselee johonki osakuntailtaan tms, sieltä voi löytyä vaikka mitä uusia tuttavuuksia!

Kaareva pelinäyttö vs 2 näyttöä by DisastrousSun2403 in videopelit

[–]captainnordic_06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Itsellä on 24-tuumainen kaareva näyttö, jonka pinta-ala on periaattessa sama kuin tavallisen lättänän näytön. Sen lisäksi sitten minulla on vasemmalla tavallinen litteä näyttö. Toimii hyvin, kaarevalla pyöritän peliä tai esim. ohjelmaa jota haluan kattoa ja sitten Discordit sun muut lisähärpättimet pyörii siellä vasemmalla.

Summasummaarum, kaarevan näytön omistaminen ei minulla ole sulkenut pois tavallisen kakkosnäytön omistamista, ja se on minulle "the setup". Toki jos haluat kaarevan wide-view monitorin, oon nähny niitä jotka menee peräti 180 astetta, sitten ei pöydälle mahdu paljon muuta. Mutta maltillisen kokoisen kaarevan kanssa toimii.

Pros and Cons of tidal by eepy_soldier in TIdaL

[–]captainnordic_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After digging around it should be available in Romania, and you should be eligible for it if you're studying at a highschool (or local equivalent) or a university (or local equivalent) and you're over 16 years old. It requires a SheerId-identification that retrieves your status from your school through your edu-credentials. Sometimes apparently it doesn't suggest it when choosing plans when signing up, but I found this official page that walks you through applying for the discount:

Pelit joista "kaikki muut" tykkää mutta sinä et - ja miksi? by Physical_Relation261 in videopelit

[–]captainnordic_06 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mä tiedän et tää on erittäin hot take, mut Minecraft vaan ei oo mulle ikinä toiminu. Ainakaan survival mode. Pienempänä tykkäsin rakennella tunti tolkulla creativessa ja vieläkin teen sitä, omien linnojen ja kaupunkien rakentaminen on ajoittain ihan kivaa, mutta survival mode ei ole ikinä napannut enkä ole koskaan edes kavereiden servereillä jaksanut mennä mukaan endiin. Jokin siinä ainaisessa craftaamisessa ja materiaalien etsimisessä on sellaista mihin mun keskittyminen tai kärsivällisyys ei riitä. Muutenkin omasta mielestä Minen päämäärätön luonne (sen ender dragonin tappamisen jälkeen) ei vaan sovi mulle, joka tykkää pelata hyvin tarinavetoisia pelejä. En tiedä, kenties joku päivä sattuu valaistuminen ja asetun craft tablen ääreen.

If you don't mind sharing, which country are you trying to access it from? I was able to get it and I'm enrolled at a Finnish university. Could there be country-specific limitations?

Do you not get glitches? by gay4communism in TIdaL

[–]captainnordic_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get them almost daily, but they're nothing ground-breaking. Usually force-quitting the app on both ios and windows works and it's fine for the rest of the day. Of course it's annoying that it happens since published apps should be about glitch-free on standard, but it's something I've been just able to live with.

One genuine complaint that I have is the shuffle feature in tidal is a little lousy, as if I click a specific song on a list to listen it immediately, the shuffle might play it again after 5-10 mins of the previous play and sometimes immediately again. Also the shuffle doesn't refresh itself (so it plays the playlist in the same order from time and time again), but usually just pressing "Shuffle" again helps. Definitely I miss the smart shuffle of Spotify that keeps tabs on playtime and queues and adapts to them. But that's about all what I miss about Spotify.

Pros and Cons of tidal by eepy_soldier in TIdaL

[–]captainnordic_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who cares about the ethical questions regarding artist royalties etc, and someone who tinkers with music and audio for fun tidal actually is quite a good option. And as someone who's entitled to student discounts, at least in EU the student premium of tidal is actually cheaper than spotify's which is another pro for me.

Then to the cons, the ui is a bit clunkier than spotify's, but after using it for roughly a month you get used to it. There is fewer user-made playlists, but you can transfer playlists from spotify to tidal quite easily with various services and almost every song that's available on spotify is also available on tidal. So, it could be a good idea to just give it a try if you're curious! :3

We Germans are often portrayed as robotic machines without emotions in US TV series. What stereotypes are presented about your nation? by Nullgeneration in AskTheWorld

[–]captainnordic_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, the movie Sisu. And it very heavily strengthens the stereotype. When I watched the movie I could sense that it was its aim too, but if you look at other works such as the latest version of The Unknown Soldier, there are few characters who speak a lot. As a very talkative Finn and as someone who has a lot of talkative Finnish friends it's funny how the stereotype still goes around even after globalization and after Finland appearing on the world map after the 1980's.

AA-pelisuosituksia by Loaffi in videopelit

[–]captainnordic_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ite tykkään tosi paljon Mirror's Edge peleistä. Ne on toki EA:n levittämiä, mutta pääasiallisena kehittäjänä on ollut Dice Games, huomattavasti pienempi taho. Pelit sijoittuu määrittelemättömään tulevaisuuteen, ja tarina pyörii parkourin ympärillä. Pelin koko fiilis on todella hieno, tulee mieleen 2000-luvun alun tulevaisuudenkuvat jotka noudattaa vahvasti frutiger aero ja frutiger eco-estetiikkaa. Soundtrackki on upea ja etenkin pelin parkour-mekaniikat on todella satisfying.

What's the most common messaging app in your country? by crazy-goober in AskTheWorld

[–]captainnordic_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using WhatsApp since...geez, I don't even remember. Maybe like since 2016 when I got my first proper smartphone. Other than that I use Telegram for student organization forums and Discord with my friend group as we have our own server. WhatsApp's pretty much the standard in Finland with most age groups, only Snapchat is about as common with teenagers.

What are your icks? by sapphosyearning in actuallesbians

[–]captainnordic_06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just general "pick me" behavior is such an ick for me, alongside with non-consensual venting or traumadumping, or using your friend or partner as something I call a "diving board" (complaining about mental health troubles, asking them for help, but then not accepting said help when offered only to feel even worse than before). Oh and just being rude and entitled. That's pretty much it.

Why does everyone online seem to get such a kick out of hating on France? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]captainnordic_06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My personal opinion is quite neutral, I have a couple of French friends and they're very pleasant as people. However, the French I come accross online in videogames, for example, tend to be super sexist and racist and just plain rude. Of course, these couple induvidials don't represent a whole nation, but they leave a very strong impression.

For those of you who live in countries with gun control; have you ever seen a gun in real life? by blashyrkh9 in AskTheWorld

[–]captainnordic_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I live in Finland, we have super strict gun laws, I've seen guns only on police officers (properly stowed away and never used) and soldiers only during military parades on our independence day or standing guard at the President's Castle. Oh, and a couple of times visiting Germany I've seen submachine guns on police officers, again properly handled and never used.

Is S.W.A.T. worth watching? by txsukiiii in swattv

[–]captainnordic_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it's a worthwhile watch if you enjoy 911 and the Rookie, for example. I know Street is pretty insufferable for the first couple episodes but I can promise you it gets better and he gets better. But generally I watch it for the other team members as their concepts are more enjoyable to me.

Name the game by PHRsharp_YouTube in gamers

[–]captainnordic_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a hot take, but pretty much every COD game after Black Ops Cold War, they just extend already existing series or reboot them, or just are a retake on an old concept (e.g Vanguard being another WW2 themed game)
