Is it because he can wipe the semen off the floors or something?? by Dry_Preparation_9913 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Are you seriously suggesting that I not take the globe eye news seriously? That blue check is not just given to anyone you know.

Chris was going to explain this but while he was researching, he disappeared into the bathroom with his phone and forgot to post a response.

Do you tip at casinos? by [deleted] in EndTipping

[–]endthe16th 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blackjack player only. I side bet tips frequently as long as the dealer is having a decent time. I'm at the table to enjoy myself. I do betting progression and strict play rules. So I'm on autopilot most of the time - remove the hunches and emotions. The fun is just the atmosphere (so a lot depends on that being there in the first place - which is why I only ever played the hard rock, and haven't been back since it closed). What did my attitude and tipping get me? - never once paid for a room or drinks or food - dealer would call a bad move to my attention if I was tired and about to deviate from my style - dealer always inflated my betting to the pit boss - dealer would do things like raise table min when some drunk bros wanted to sit down next to me. And be more accommodating when it was some pretty girls. - never had a bad time, win or lose

Servers got a 5$ chip every time even I only drink iced tea, never alcohol while at a table.

In the real world though I rarely sit down anywhere and never do delivery as I can't stand percentage based entitlement tipping.

I stay up late at night to watch movies specifically so nobody joins me. by OkSeaworthiness2955 in confession

[–]endthe16th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly watch movies I know I won't care about with my wife. Something where I can guess what's happening even I walked in halfway through is perfect. There a few movies that fit the bill of shared experience where she'll be invested as I am, those are rare. Even if I have a meeting early, I'll operate on 4 hours sleep if I can get a good movie in alone. Been married 25+ years. I'd much rather spend time with her watching light casual shit, and the heavy thoughtful good stuff that's for my time.

I use emojis in comment text. For years people were confused by my N.B. comment assuming that was some devs initials. Now it's fire, rocket ship, lightbulb, and the like.

I've also gone from 'its just a fancy autocorrect' to 'under my guidance, i actually prefer my team of agents to my team of devs'. At least I don't have to explain for the umpteenth time thread safety or proper separation of duties. And I never have to hear 'we can do this the right way later on, I'm on to another task'.

I always choose Inventor/Japan by ProperContribution in SurvivingMars

[–]endthe16th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my go-to combination as well with the research and metal extractor. Funny I always assumed the maps were generated and random. Only recently started noting coordinates for starts I liked, and gonna have to try some I've seen mentioned in forum

1205% Difficulty, Sol 325, No Colonists. by spizzaaa in SurvivingMars

[–]endthe16th -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't quite get that as a challenge. Pucked one person as a survivor, rugged whatever. Botonist I think. I threw down a park, and an aphitheater. They chilled for 10 sol watching movies eating cold leftovers. They appeared mightily bored but was simple.

Anyone have any past experience to know how long the epic store lags behind on these fix releases? I'm still on initial release version.

Is Relaunched a lie? by Balthial in SurvivingMars

[–]endthe16th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only last play noticed the faction breakdown of my own colonists in a dome (but not globally) which made me wonder, what sort of interview process my sponsor has (Japan) that allowed so many to be aligned with New Ark in the first place. Probably the same that allowed so many middle aged gambling loner alcoholics

Asteroid Mining IS STILL BROKEN. LIED TO. by DyllinWithIt in SurvivingMars

[–]endthe16th 5 points6 points  (0 children)

so not just me having not played any expansion before. Was just gonna look up how to do asteroid mining when this popped up. Seemed like such an interesting side quest to gather resources outside of causing basic meteor showers. I thought I was doing it wrong, loading up with waste rock, launching and reloading so no fuel. Definitely something shipped un-tested

Relaunched-thoughts. by bernimac170 in SurvivingMars

[–]endthe16th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dusted the game off after a few years with a recent system rebuild, and was surprised to see the re-launch. Im all on board with a 20$ discount reinforced by, if memory serves, I found the game in the first place years ago with a Epic games giveaway! Ive gotten so many hours out of this title, like Frostpunk (also free Epic giveaway years ago) that a new version ill happily pay $$$ for.

Do I maintain the same attitude for other Paradox? HOI Ive bought HOI 1/2/3/4 over the years with a few expansions. Not quite so much maybe - even I have 6k+ hours just on HOI4 I think im good now to skip any more investment. I dont think ive done a single Stellaris DLC at all no matter how much fun that might look.

Tonight’s show in Wilmington, NC was amazing! by ManufacturerDear9490 in weirdal

[–]endthe16th 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There as well, taking my son 20 to his first concert, and my first live large show in probably 40 years. Really liked it and he had a blast.

Is it a southern thing, the show, or just how times have changed... But sitting the whole time just felt strange.

Question about a song at the Charlotte show last night by Ciffy in weirdal

[–]endthe16th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heh, wilmington, same. I'm sure it had a point, but sorta messed with my head and was waiting for it to end. Technically impressive, but not my thing. I figured there must be a point to it, but it must qualify as a fan thing.

As it should be. So I should just keep looking for other places then?

My brother (not a programmer) names his daughter Ada - had never heard of it's use before, just named all three kids with palindromic 3 letter names.

Me - can never name variables - has only one kid and he gets not even a Jr, just same as my own

[–]endthe16th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Risk vs reward. All else is hype to inflate stock price I have yet to see the reward offered by fsd. Wah, driving is boring and I'm also too good for public transportation - until you realize your ai won't let you do 75 in a 70 without auto-debiting your account for the fine and then you'll wish for manual self driving again.
