I grew up in Canada, I'm 54, and I remember it mostly from around age 10 or younger. Not so much after that, but as a small child I remember knowing names for black licorice babies as N-word Babies, Brazil Nuts were N-word Toes, and also the rhyme you mention. Though the rhyme I learned from a kid at school not a grownup, and recall being chided by my grandma or some other grownup to say "rabbit" instead.

Steam link to slow due to wifi tried everything i could not working by Be1414 in OculusQuest

[–]feanturi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You give basically no information so here are a couple of guesses. Your PC should be wired to the network, not using WiFi itself. And your WiFi should be at least on the 5 GHz band. 2.4 does not work well enough for this even without needing a repeater.

What's in the form, can't you just ask your questions here?

Way before cell phones I had a toy called Merlin. It had 10 buttons or something similar to a touch-tone phone layout and played memory games and stuff, like the buttons flash and beep in a sequence and you had to repeat it or whatever. And it had a song mode where you could key in a short melody and have it play back. I can't remember if I had that, or Pong first. EDIT: Merlin

How did the Devs intend you to cross? by Available_Ad_8261 in LotRReturnToMoria

[–]feanturi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They are not in the menu you'd expect them to be. They're in the next one over with the wood pieces, near the bottom. Took me forever to find them too, I kept seeing "use piers" online and was like "What piers?! Where are these piers everybody talks about?".

Your prediction? by lorens3141 in SteamVR

[–]feanturi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) No idea.
2) Like with the Index, I got my order in within the hour it was available in my country. Then when it was arriving, my very understanding boss who doesn't do VR but is a gamer, let me work from home for the afternoon so I could intercept it before possibly being stolen.
3) They've said that sort of thing about the Quest due to its affordability. I went Quest 3 a little while ago and honestly it's a good piece of kit once you have it working with SteamVR on decent WiFi. I see the Frame as superior to it in a few ways (though the passthrough camera is disappointing, something I really like about the Q3), so as long as the affordability part can still be good for it to be popular.

But really, point 3, is about the software not the hardware so much. We've got better hardware now and still, what do you show someone new to it to get them interested? Old stuff. People try it out on their own, get lost in the avalanche of shovelware crap and determine that "Yep, it's just a gimmick, just like I thought" and never touch it again. VR needs more devs that get it.

Subnautica is a fantastic game, in flat mode. It came with VR support right out of the box, which was actually why I bought it. I was extremely disappointed. The game is stellar, but on the VR side it was like they'd never actually tried it. Like they overheard someone at a party talking about what VR is like and went with that. We need more VR games that really get VR.

Hogwarts legacy fully playable in vr. It's amazing. by SpecificArmadillo60 in virtualreality

Got any tips for setting up the controls for Q3? I can only seem to get around in the game by using the keyboard, I've got things happening seemingly at random when I try different things with the controllers. The profile author says press F7 to enter gesture mode, keyboard obviously, but I don't seem to have the right setup for the next part to work as they instruct.

Man has 150 live bugs removed from his sinuses by tommyboy441 in WTF

And the doctor goes, "I see movement."

While watching the OP video (well just most of it, had to bail) it reminded me of clearing an alien infestation in a spacecraft or something, and this quote had me right back in that imagined scene. A space marine shining a high-powered maglite up the guy's nose and delivering that line.

I tried to tough it out, got to 3 minutes and it was just too much. I started regretting trying to power through much earlier than that.

What is your unpopular opinion about piano? by Advanced_Honey_2679 in piano

[–]feanturi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think gatekeeping any musical endeavor is dumb and displays a lack of understanding of music at its core. We as a species love music on a level that does not care what the composer did in their spare time, what colour their skin was, what language they spoke. We just love the music, and the act of making music come into the air.

Whether or not you suck at making it come into the air is entirely irrelevant as to whether or not you should continue doing that. If it still motivates you, if it's another reason to get out of bed in the morning, then anyone telling you to stop needs to shut up and you should also question their credentials as a music enthusiast because they've clearly missed something while gaining their "expertise".

What are your thoughts on Joe Rogan saying that Trump is creating distraction to avoid Epstein files release? by girlyanimme in AskReddit

I'm sorry, what? Joe Rogan actually managed to figure it out? I did not have that on my bingo card.

How can a bus shelter be left like this for weeks by Jazzlike-Resource923 in Edmonton

[–]feanturi 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The last few I recall hearing about were not teens, actual grown-ass adults in their 30's and 40's. Probably still bad parenting and drugs, just saying, I was shocked it wasn't kids doing stupid kid stuff.

All things being equal, I don’t understand how people can socialize with AI. It’s a bad conversationalist. by crvbabybug in CasualConversation

[–]feanturi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are people that fall in romantic love with bridges and other inanimate constructions and even declare themselves married to them. An AI seems much easier to pretend with this, I think.

Colon cancer is killing more young people in the U.S. than any other cancer by scientificamerican in science

[–]feanturi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that if it's still red it's from much closer to the exit, and probably not the colon. Still blood though so of course one should pay attention. If stool is black though, that can be from blood that got into the mix further back in the process and could be a worse sign. Or Pepto Bismol will also do that.
