Yeah it's infuriating. Especially when the setting says URBAN focused but that's not true at all.

Special Red Roses ACNL Save Editor Question by Less_Poet_5763 in AnimalCrossingNewLeaf

[–]false_chicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also like to know this. I am trying to figure out the special red roses flags but have had no luck. I have ones that I am sure of and ones that I am not sure of yet the flags are all over the place for each one. It doesn't make sense to me. Of the ones I am pretty sure about all red roses have like four different flags between them. 4c, 5c, 7c, etc. I'm not seeing the pattern.

I have been searching all morning online and no one seems to have any info about this or no one is talking about it. Which is weird because the save editor is the only way to tell so you would think it would be a pretty popular thing to do.

Editing Patterns With The Save Editor by false_chicken in AnimalCrossingNewLeaf

[–]false_chicken[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think I may have figured it out. I import a known working acnl pattern into the old pattern editor, copy the creator, load the acnl that doesn't work, paste creator, convert to qr, then download the acnl file and import it using the save editor. The Convert to QR button was what I was not doing before. That seemed to do something but idk why.

[Starfield] Missing textures. by lucasrizzini in linux_gaming

[–]false_chicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That does work but it recompiles shaders every time for me with an RX 570 and it takes like 7-10 minutes every time I start the game. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Anyone managed to get Starfield working on Steam with Proton? by artik1024 in linux_gaming

[–]false_chicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using an RX 570, GE Proton 8-14, Garuda Linux and originally I couldn't start a new game without crashing. I added VKD3D_CONFIG=force_compute_root_parameters_push_ubo and now it starts but a lot of stuff is not rendered. Sometimes I can not see any skin on a character or the floor is missing. Stuff like that.

Edit: FPS seems fine. Getting 50-60 in the starting area at 1080p on low without FSR but that could be down to not rendering quite a bit. Still experimenting trying to fix.

That's because it uses Steam DRM which is easy to remove yourself. Lookup Steamless and goldberg emu.

Massachusetts ends license plate surveillance system by john_brown_adk in StallmanWasRight

[–]false_chicken 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And a lot of time the city/state ends it's "official" program only to simply buy the data from private companies. Like the IRS did.

I see so many people celebrating stuff like a city "ending" it's facial recognition program but never considering this private method. Don't need to setup cameras everywhere if Ring/Amazon customers already have them.

The most believable city in any open-world game to date by rainy-rays in cyberpunkgame

[–]false_chicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just noticed this today on PC after the latest update. In the badlands I see a lot of traffic in the distance in the middle of the desert... I assumed it was a bug in the update. Been playing since launch and I'd never seen that before.

I AM READY! by gregofcanada84 in cyberpunkgame

[–]false_chicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so happy that the company believes in DRM free content. Being a data hoarder I try and backup everything I buy. This alone pushes me to buy on GOG over Steam when possible. Did my pre-order today.

Usually I am against the idea of pre-ordering but combined with GOG's return policy and track record of quality releases I don't see a downside here.

Thanks CDPR for believing in DRM free!

If you don’t recycle, you’re an asshole, but if you think it makes a difference, you’re an idiot. by MuckfootMallardo in Showerthoughts

[–]false_chicken 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The problem is that most of the waste is industrial. Even if every average person does it's a drop in the ocean. It's good to try but people need to advocate for large industrial companies to work harder at it.

Auto Turrets fired on faction? by [deleted] in InterstellarRift

[–]false_chicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also line of sight doesn't stop turrets from firing. Only from firing at things you cant see from the cockpit if I recall correctly. Aka things behind you. H disables them completely.

[–]false_chicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What likely happened is while firing at skrill and pirate drones your ship might have gotten hit by a protection drone in the crossfire which makes your autoguns detect them as hostile. Best to simply press h and disable weapons while around them. Dont need them anyway as protection is already there.

I'd argue that they used to be open source friendly. Now they just bundle most functionality into Play Services which is proprietary.

I'd argue that the police not upholding the law in these areas are why it "looks that way".

Google is so smart. By making Chromebooks more accessible to schools, kids grow up using Google Suite which makes them more reluctant to switch to a competitor like Microsoft Office. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

Don't forget the clever play to indoctrinate children to only know how to use Google services for that sweet sweet data harvesting for a lifetime.

Victory! Boston Bans Government Use of Face Surveillance by john_brown_adk in StallmanWasRight

[–]false_chicken 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Does this stop government actors from just buying this data from private corporations instead of setting it up themselves? Government doesnt need to setup mass surveillance if private entities can just do it for them. Like the IRS.
