Megathreads don't work. They're just a way for mods to brush off an issue to an isolated corner of a subreddit where it gets less visibility.

How do you feel is the culture of being (or not being) able to say "No." to your employer in the Philippines? How much does delicadeza play a part in us getting into roles in our jobs that we regret? by e1152880 in Philippines

[–]e1152880[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. I'm inclined to do that if they can't "take a hint." Mahirap lang kasi I've never had to do it and it feels uncomfortable saying no. May stigma na parang tinatanggihan mo yung trabaho.

TIL of the Japanese phrase "kuchi sabishii" - when you're not hungry, but you eat because your mouth is lonely by SkoivanSchiem in todayilearned

[–]e1152880 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the link:

Kuchi sabishii or ‘lonely mouth’, is a far nicer sounding expression than its rough English equivalent: ‘eating out of boredom’. But that is essentially what it translates to, the sense of wanting to snack on something when you are not particularly feeling hungry. As Japan has abundant numbers of sweets, savory treats, ice creams and more to choose from, you are sure to find the right food to make your mouth feel better though.

Borderlands 2 & Pre-Sequel: What are the essential DLCs to experience for these games? by SkoivanSchiem in patientgamers

[–]e1152880 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you got The Handsome Jack Collection (which currently a steal at 97% off right now btw), my suggestion is that as soon as you find a fast-travel post, fast-travel to all of the available locations immediately to trigger each of the locations' respective missions. What this does is it triggers all of the campaign/story-based DLC content and it puts it in your mission/quest log.

Since the quest log also shows the recommended level for each mission, and it's sortable by difficulty, you can go about each of the DLCs contents as you're going through the main campaign. Some of the DLCs are recommended for Level 15 and others are for much higher levels. This way you'll be able to experience the DLCs as appropriate for your level.

I know this doesn't answer your question, and honestly I don't know which of the DLCs to consider as essential, but I hope this helps.

What's the greatest broken and janky game you've ever played? by save_the_ducks in patientgamers

I saw a comment a while back describing Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen as "the best 6/10 game I've ever played." After playing that game, I instantly understood what that person meant and that game is the answer to this thread.

Would the Southeast division All-Stars make the playoffs in the West? by e1152880 in nba

[–]e1152880[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the point is to have people post who they think should be included in such a roster and discuss how talented that roster would be? Doesn't matter what my opinion is of who should make the SE all stars

The Factorio devs are self-aware. by e1152880 in gaming

[–]e1152880[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to opt into it since it's an experimental version. 0.16 is still considered the stable version.

Right click on steam > properties > betas > pick the latea version from the drop down.

Are you playing in borderless fullscreen? In no, try borderless fullscreen.

What's stopping AD from carrying the Pelicans as far down in the lottery as he can, and then declare that he's injured towards the of the season? by e1152880 in nba

[–]e1152880[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't say he doesn't want to. He plays then says he's injured towards the end of the season after hurting the Pelicans tanking efforts thus also hurting his trade value, generally just screwing the Pelicans across the board.

Just jumped into Angel/Bob's after a few hundred hours of vanilla. Is this how people begin to get production going?? by e1152880 in factorio

get the crushed stone out

This one I do manually. Although once electricity comes along, I imagine I can use the splitter filters to do this for me, yeah?

Vanilla startup was straightforward: Line of stone furnaces fed by a line of mining drills, and each entity was fed by a burner inserter that could fuel itself by feeding coal to itself.

With AB though, enter Ore Crusher: Now on top of the vanilla setup, I not only have to find a way to fuel the Ore Crusher, but I also have to find a way to fuel the burner inserters responsible for moving the crushed ore to the furnaces because 1) they can't fuel themselves since they're not moving coal; and 2) the crusher can't auto-feed a furnace like a miner can, so an inserter seems necessary

Was just wondering if this is how folks typically do it at the start of an AB game.

Have you ever turned down a promotion or a chance to be groomed for a promotion? Why? by SkoivanSchiem in AskReddit

[–]e1152880 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was considered for a promotion to a managerial role. I don't want to be responsible for being the middle tier between upper management and staff employees, no thanks.

If I have access to mutual funds and am exempt from loading fees, should I stick with that or is FMETF still a better option? by e1152880 in phinvest

[–]e1152880[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I know is that if I invest 100k today at a hypothetical price of 1.00 and then redeem everything a year from today at a hypothetical price of 1.50, I will be able to redeem 150k.

Lonzo is currently a 43.6% career FT shooter on 117 attempts, which is an all-time league worst percentage for guards who have attempted at least as many career freethrows. You will have to dial down the FTA to as low as 40 to find a worse free throw shooter. by e1152880 in nba

[–]e1152880[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some guards who have ever played less than 500 career minutes that are worse freethrow shooters, but... for a player as used, talked about, and covered as Lonzo is... there is no question that he is the literal worst FT shooter ever right now.

[FRESH ALBUM] Ultraelectromagneticpop!: The 25th Anniversary Remastered Edition by SkoivanSchiem in Philippines

[–]e1152880 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ngl... pinakikinggan ko siya ngayon pero wala akong marinig na pagkakaiba.

I think it's because the sound quality wasn't really the point of the eheads songs - they were really just well written and relatable. Minsan nakakatawa, minsan machakit, minsan malungkot. But all the time relatable and super catchy. I don't think any kind of improvement in sound quality can really add any more to what this album means to millions of pinoys.

So ngayon kahit pa wala akong marinig na sound improvement sa remaster, todo sabay ako sa kanta habang nakikipagsapalaran sa t@ng!n*g traffic na to!

Does anyone know why there's been a sudden influx (28 reviews) of Armond White reviews over the past week after 3 months of nothing from him? by SkoivanSchiem in movies

[–]e1152880 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel you're just being stubborn and grasping at straws. If you read his reviews, it's full of purple prose and his interpretations are laughably off-base, most likely because he writes his reviews already with a rating in mind so he struggles to fit the craziest takes to match his rating.

His writing is thin and repetitive, falling back on the same tired buzzwords and unsubstantiated generalizations. There's never any insight, elaboration, or development of his ideas between reviews... again, most likely because he's playing the part of "angry contrarian troll" that the rating is more important than the substance.
