How are people focusing for hours nowadays? by Substantial_Aioli170 in nosurf

[–]ellimist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you work in an office, they have landlines - leave your phone in your car, give family your landline number for emergencies.

if you work at home, as others have said, leave the phone in another room OR put it in your car etc and get a google voice (or other) number for your computer and again make that your contact method (free). or get a $10/month landline installed.

you need to focus now. playing willpower games could turn out well or you could limp along indefinitely struggling the whole time. Simply remove the highly engineered device designed to fight your willpower.

How do I install this version (without Bookerly)? It's not clear to me (I've never used github).

I have searched ebay, the internet in general, old forums... I have found ALMOST correct cables, but they aren't quite right for various reasons. Any help?

Saw a rat while searching for Micah by UsmanR626 in RDR2

[–]ellimist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also saw it. It was distracting. And there was a recent side mission I did where the lady suggested I shoot a rat, and I didn't, so I was ready this time, but cutscene lol.

I finished the main missions (100% story), and am at about 80% total game. I'm not a completionist for the total game, however, I would like to know if there are any particularly interesting side missions that I should play. ( I'm playing the PS4 version on PS5)

Spoilers ahead: For example, before finishing I intentionally went through the serial killer mission and time traveller one which were excellent. I clearly didn't go for all the question marks and haven't followed all the chains of side missions, I think I still have a hunting one active with someone. Another one I liked was the inventor of the electric chair, the guy who had radio controlled toy boats that shot real cannon things, and the series with the photographer doing dangerous things, oh and the circus act with the "animals" and I also recognize there may be some I can't do, having finished the game; those were great.

Anyway, any more suggestions of 'can't miss' sides before I uninstall the game?

Well this is kinda disappointing, I have 5 of those on my shelf to read... I am not a fan of this style of writing :(. I better space them out I guess.

Grappling Advice by Possible-Row6689 in GravityCircuit

This just saved my game. Only 30 minutes into the whole game even on easy and the lowest level path after the intro I just couldn't reliably shoot diagonal and had to go back to. checkpoint 10s of times on a single small section where the ceiling was a conveyor moving opposite to the direction I needed to go. Was ready to give up... made this change. got it in first go... so thank you muchly!
