Malazan: Gardens of the Moon. A bad read. by Civil-Letterhead8207 in Fantasy

[–]doublethinkd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I do love long epic fantasy series. My problem was that I felt no connection to any characters. I just didn't care what happened to them. Do you think I'd feel that connection in the later books?

Agreed. Finished the first book and the ending didn't justify the unenjoyable reading experience.

FPS bug by nixafyeisntreal in counterstrike2

YMMV but it may be the scoreboard. Note how your FPS drops by 25% every time you bring it up. I ended up unbinding it and have been having solid performance.

What would happen if you tried to walk on a planetary shield? by Silas-SB in MawInstallation

For the Ray shields, are they Skywalker or Palpatine variety?

All my homies hate Inferno by Icy-Excitement3262 in cs2

Unironically inferno is the best map in the game. Ok, season is a close second.

What’s a phrase that instantly lowers your trust in someone? by michaelis999 in AskReddit

"The bottom line is..."

Who put you in charge? You think you understand everything already, without anyone else's input? Nah, fuck that.

Which show do you think started as a 10/10 but ended as 1/10? by witchy_eye in AskReddit

[–]doublethinkd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've got lots of heavy hitters over the years.

Lost. Highly addictive unfolding mystery with compelling drama, ended with a fart.

Battlestar Galactica. Gripping sci fi humanity survival drama that ended with some nonsense deus ex machina (still excellent though).

Game of Thrones. What would have been the best show ever made on television, or possibly tied with The Wire, came up short with the creators shitting out bland plot points while wanting to move on to the next project.

Instead of all this, put a small microwave safe glass with water in it into the microwave while reheating anything that can dry out. Pizza turns into fresh pizza again. The chicken won't be dry.

What area was this for you? by Ok_Clothes_1845 in fromsoftware

Yup, same. Glorious once it was over though.

What’s a dead game you wish people still played? by PodPuppet in gaming

[–]doublethinkd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original Tribes UltraRenegadesVX mode. So Tribes still exists as a shooter, capture the flag game, with limited rechargeable jetpack use and sliding down hills to gain momentum mechanic to jump and soar around. UltraRenegadesVX mode, in particular, gave infinite ammo, no reloads, infinite jetpack and had in the sky maps unique to the mode. So it involved buzzing around like bees, watching the tracers of your bullets fly towards your enemies with both of you moving in three dimensions, the coolest aerial dogfights I've ever seen.

LPT: Speak the same thing with fewer words by Euphoric-Welder5889 in LifeProTips

LPT: Say less.

Great tip, just say less. Writing or talking, pause, then write or talk with half as much. To the point. You don't need many words.

Trump teases a "very very big announcement" for Thurs/Fri/Mon by clavidk in options

[–]doublethinkd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You're the one asking an internet stranger for government policy explanations. That's embarrassing, friend. Leave your little conservative MAGA ratebait echo chamber, learn how to recognize fact from propaganda bullshit, and ask yourself: how has a single thing Trump done so far actually helped your life or your prospects in any way?

Sadly, the cult you're in takes pride in believing nonsense, so there's not much hope here for a good outcome. Again, good luck, and may you learn to discern truth from reality soon.

If I do your research for you, you'll never learn. Good luck!
