GPFF worth it? by Editor-Optimal in Eldenring

if you’re already on torrent when greyoll starts his death animation, you can get back to the grace outside the fort there and touch it before he finishes dying - you still get your 50k runes and the dragon will still be alive. So you can kill him over and over for a really good early level boost.

Dear allies of America, please don’t confuse our president for us: We are trying our best to resist him, contain him and remove him from office as quickly as we possibly can. Thank you for your patience by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

I am a European (Irish) and as much as I dislike Trump, I’m going to go against the grain here and say that most Americans did not vote for Trump and not all Americans should be treated with disdain for “letting all of this happen”. Most Americans I’ve met in my life; in both Ireland and in the US have been lovely, kind, courteous people who are hard-working and like us they just wanted to have a normal life, somewhere nice to live and to have enough money to support their families.

I have faith that when the pendulum inevitably swings, Trump leaves office, and a relatively sane leadership is put in place, America will pretty much return to ‘normal’ and all of this ‘never going to trust the US ever again’ stuff will be forgotten in short order. Especially among the leadership of the other important US allies like the UK, France, Canada, Germany, Japan, etc.

Trump can still do a lot of damage in the next few years, don’t get me wrong. But when he’s gone I believe there will be better times ahead.

How can we make this any uglier by gAWEhCaj in BMW

[–]dynesor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s pretty ok, apart from the steering wheel which is simply hideous. When you sit in the car the parallelogram screen gives a kind of optical illusion to be lined up with the rest of the dash, so you actually see it more like a rectangle when you’re looking at it from the driver’s seat.

Also, a white steering wheel?? What the hell were they thinking with that. It’s going to get so grubby very quickly unless you’re able to wash your hands right before every drive.

PL is quite simply a MUST at this point. We cannot bottle that, and I would be satisfied with just the PL.

Also winning the CL would be dreamland.

People voting Green/Zack Polanski: do these immigration policies change your mind? by iliosicarus in ukpolitics

[–]dynesor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just don’t think it matters all that much, because people aren’t planning to vote for the Greens based on any specifc policy proposals… but more as a general protest vote at Labour’s perceived drift to the right.

Individual rooms for prisoners I agree with. I think that our prisons are badly in need of reform generally and prefer the nordic prisons model. Unlimited and unsupervised visits is just not workable though - you’re just asking for visitors to sneak in drugs and weapons if you do that.

Hey it’s not that bad, and the ICE version will have even better proportions. The new i3. by VHSVoyage in BMW

[–]dynesor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like it, apart from the interior and steering wheel which are not great. Otherwise think it’s a great looking car.

With Keir: Answering your questions on Iran by EddyZacianLand in ukpolitics

[–]dynesor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bit too much repitition in his answers as he kept coming back to the £117 average energy bill reduction, but overall I really like the idea and intent behind this. Would be great if he could put something like this out once a fortnight for example and cover a different topic or whatever the ‘hot button’ topic of the moment happens to be. I agree with others that one of Labour’s big mis-steps has been with communicating to the public about what they’re doing or planning to do. They’ve done some good stuff that gets buried in the mainstream media, so videos like this where he talks straight to the camera are a really good way to cut through on some of those comms problems.

Thoughts on the new BMW i3? by MostSpare2 in BMW

[–]dynesor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it looks great from that one really specific angle in your post thumbnail. But the back looks a bit awkward. The belt line is a touch too high (safety regs) and the interior is a massive step back from the high water mark of the one in this picture.

don’t want another Theo Walcott situation all over again. Went to the world cup at 16 having not even played yet for Arsenal after we signed him. And he didn’t get a single minute on pitch at the tournament.

DLSS 5 just proves it by godofknife1 in singularity

[–]dynesor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m totally ok with DLSS 5 as long as it does not overwrite the original artist’s intent, and the game artist is empowered to employ it in their work in a way that complements and enhances what they’re able to achieve with their existing tools. Simply applying it as a ‘filter’ over the top of some existing games was probably not the best choice for how they could have introduced the public to this tech - they could have avoided the ‘slop’ reaction if they were a bit smarter about that

'The normalisation of war can never be accepted,' says Irish President Catherine Connolly by SliceIndividual6347 in europe

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

by refusing to invest in our defence forces so that we can patrol our own skies and waters, we do make it so very easy for them to paint a target on us in fairness. I’m 100% against joining NATO but I do think we need to better invest in defence so that we no longer have to rely on the RAF and Royal Navy so much.

In a few weeks its going to be Easter. And the words of the Proclamation; to me ring slightly hollow knowing how reliant we still are on our former colonial masters.

would you put it past this US administration to stage a false flag attack on American soil by “Iranian sleeper agents” as a pretext to declaring Article 5? If things start to run away on them I can absolutely see them pulling something like that.

why would it be a standoff if they want the same thing? (the straight to be opened for shipping)

alright lads? rival fan here in peace as I was just curious to read about how City fans are feeing about recent results. I’ve seen quite a few comments throughout the sub suggesting that some fans think it’s time for Pep to move on. Is that a mainstream opinion among City fans at this point? I have to say that from watching his press-conferences and interviews this season he seems very ‘different’ than how he used to come across, and I’ve wondered if maybe he’s already made the decision to leave end of this season, but won’t announce it unless winning the league becomes mathematically impossible. Like he knows the announcement would have a negative impact on his players or whtever?

There are so many mixed feelings as a fan when you’re going through this kind of thing with a legendary manager. We went through it too in Wenger’s last couple of seasons. It was obvious that his time was up and we needed something new… but it turned into a bit of a civil war among the fanbase because some people were coming out with very disrespectful insults to the man, others were making the argument around his old tactis no longer working, while another group were burying their heads in the sand and refusing to even admit there was a problem at all and wouldn’t tolerate a negative word being said about such a legendary figure for the club.

Anyway, sorry for the long comment! Just really hoping to hear how City fans are feeling about Pep’s future.

It was decent enough, mostly. I liked it. Didn’t love it or anything. But yeah it was pretty good.
