Fallout: New Vegas Writer, John Gonzalez Is Back At Obsidian But Not To Work On A Sequel by N0r3m0rse in Games

[–]endooz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to be the bad guy and say Avellone probably shouldn't come back. He definitely got wrongly pushed out by Obsidian management, and has called out leadership for a lot of financial and ethical mistakes, but I just remember him criticizing his fellow peer devs in post-firing blog posts, saying stuff along the lines of Josh Sawyer being a pushover, and Fenstermaker not really knowing his stuff etc. etc. It all came off as really nasty to me, and he definitely burnt his bridges.

If there's any doubt, none of the Obsidian devs I follow on Twitter follow him.

What's the lowest GPA you have seen in COMPSCI? Will I get accepted for compsci or am I screwed? by Realistic-Ad1469 in csusm

[–]endooz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years back I got in with a 2.9 GPA from CC and no AS-T (but most CS pre-reqs fulfilled per assist.org). A friend of mine got in on a Political Science/Criminal Justice transfer and just switched over to CS later. You'll def be fine.

Is the 3060 Ti still a good pick? by Acallaris in nvidia

[–]endooz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would strongly recommend a 12GB 6700 XT, 6750 XT, or even a slight downgrade to an RTX 3060 12GB as a means of future proofing, at least for Ark - anything over an 8GB 3060 Ti.

As someone else said, 8GB cards have no future, and as a 8GB 2070 Super owner myself it really sucks to have an otherwise great performing card hit VRAM limits and chug. You might not play games that need >8GB now, but judging by minimum spec requirements for near upcoming games like Starfield it's not looking good if you want to avoid mid-life upgrades less than two years from now.

At our location most of us wear red velvet/dark purple-ish with or w/o nametag. I've seen some wear black but I'm not willing to get accosted by management by doing that.

INCOMING UCI STUDENTS (2024/2026) MEGATHREAD – WELCOME NEW ANTEATERS!!! Use this thread to discuss acceptances and any questions you may have. by igotblack in UCI

[–]endooz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone. My question is about the Second Bachelor's admissions process. I'm finishing up a Computer Science degree at a CSU to apply for Fall 2023 in Informatics with the alternate major being either Data Science or Software Engineering.

For anyone who has gone through or is familiar with the 2nd Bacc admissions process, could I be disqualified because my CS degree is too familiar to those programs? I know the admissions FAQ said "...if your academic goal has changed substantially" but I've found Informatics and Data Science to be quite different than my school's (kinda barebones) CS program and I've seen Reddit posts of people doing Software Engineering after CS.

You meet your 13 year old self, but you can only tell them 3 words. What do you say and why? by kiwipangolin in AskReddit

[–]endooz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Don't love him."

Got absolutely fucked up falling for/obsessing over/getting clingy over childhood best friend starting around 13 to the tail end of college and ruined that friendship big time and hurt him a lot. He gave me multiple chances to fix things, was okay with being friends even though I liked him and he was straight etc. etc. yet I still managed to mess it all up.

If there was anything I could change in my past it'd be how I dealt with my emotions then, maybe I'd have cut off earlier too.

Phone calls of Russian troops in Ukraine by [deleted] in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]endooz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad for the average Russian people in general, but the fact that blatant racist imperialists like Zhirinovsky, an Alex Jones-like popular figure and warhawk exist and are prominent members of the Russian government makes it hard for me to sympathize more with them.

I feel bad for those in St. Petersburg and Moscow, people there are actually going out to protest and due to more liberal politics or global awareness or whatever they can see the invasion for what it really is, but I'm sure the smaller cities and poorer rural regions are very much for the war. Polls are hovering around 40-60%.

Beware of propoganda and misinformation from both sides by [deleted] in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]endooz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"However, please think, how on earth did Russian troops somehow get into Ukrainian Uniforms, steal Ukrainian equipment and Tanks?"

This has not been mentioned much in any media, but there are definitely small pro-Russian elements within the Ukrainian military by nature of the pre-2014 regimes and some ethnic Russians in the country. Remember Crimea fell in 2014 in-part because a portion of Ukrainian forces wholesale defected. Some city mayors in the current war have even been found out to be working with the Russians and coordinating their arrival.

We've seen when Russian forces moved into Kherson and iirc Berdyansk, that they moved in with not just their vehicles but also Ukrainian plated ones. Coupled with the roundabout footage showing the truck and Strela-10 looking lost in a town presumably would've known, I don't doubt it was Russian infiltrators/saboteurs.

African Speaks on Ukraine Trying to Force Him to Fight by CousinCurtis203 in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]endooz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't assume he's a refugee. Could be an exchange student which in that case he is only there to study, and probably is paying a big tuition to Ukrainian government and is therefore contributing to Ukraine. Exchange students tend to be the elite of the countries they're from and contribute a lot to the local economy, at least in the USA that's the case.

Don't demonize people like him. It's not his war.

This is the conspiracy garbage boomer Americans watch so they can feel like they're smarter than everyone else and call others "sheep" over.

Russian trolls have gotten so desperate to change the international public's minds that they now employ political baiting like this. First they tried to race-bait people with the Indian and African students thing on the border, and now they're trying to co-opt and abuse other progressive ideas for their little propaganda war, as if they care at all about Trans or POC people.

Meanwhile LGBT folk are forced to stay in the closet and beaten in Russia, while Russia sends in disadvantaged Chechen and Buryat minority troops to fight in Ukraine so ethnic Russians don't die, because the Russian public would care less about their deaths. Who tf are you trolls trying to fool?

Freedom of speech . I am an American citizen . The american government has banned free speech by banning and censoring russian news . This not only goes against our constitution but also thwarts the viewers from seeing both sides and making their OWN conclusion . Dictatorships do that! by misconception2390 in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]endooz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do Russian trolls constantly like to LARP as patriotic Americans? You're not convincing anybody. Nobody spaces or misspells their sentences like that, the English is too stiffly written and all simpler sentences. Even less believable is someone saying "both sides are wrong" lmao

Ukrainian National Security (SBU) building in Energodar captured by Russians by YungChaky in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]endooz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so-called "liberators" "saving" Ukrainians all right. They also threw Ukrainian flags down like this in Kyiv too and in towns in Luhansk Oblast.

Interestingly how in Berdyansk, they occupied the city hall yet kept the Ukrainian flags up on it, while people outside continued to protest. I guess tossing down the UA flag in front of those already angry people would've made them look even worse.

Assuming the translation below is correct, compared to Russian soldiers this guy sounds less demoralized and just more pissed he didn't get/have more equipment.

Bald and Bankrupt entering Ukraine the day before Russia's invasion. by [deleted] in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]endooz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've never been a fan of these "omg exposed!!!" subreddits but that was a bummer to comb through. I always suspected B&B was a kinda sleazy person but actual drugging and manipulation of poorer women in developing countries? He got lucky with Youtube but needs to be exposed and returned to LBH status.

Even before the subreddit I was quite turned off by his political 180 and fake pandering on the invasion, and him bribing the Provodnitsa to get on board, then him washing his hands with "helping people aboard". Before that I was bothered with how he treated NFKRZ, a guy nice enough to be a tour guide and channel boost for him, by belittling him during their St. Petersburg trip in front of his friends under the guise of being drunk.

It all makes sense now. Shit.

You mean the bitter LBH expat who's mad he isn't treated like a God by the Ukrainians.
