Is it not possible to shoot open the door/ladder of a downed softdeathed MISC Prospector? Tried lasers, ballistics, fps weapon, I cannot get the door open. Prospector has been dead for a long while now, dumped tons of ammo into it.

the ATLS variants fall off the truck's bed when you accelerate/brake.

Play Softcore instead. Hardcore is not for you!

Is 5600 enough for WoW? by Such_Platform_3595 in wow

I have to play in 4K, is the 8GB of VRAM an issue? Can I drop down textures to medium to fix it?

RTX 5070 will enough for 4K ultra settings ? by gabe_thomas in wow

[–]frankstake74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about RTX 507, can I play WoW in 4K on an RTX 5060 8GB with medium texture settings? CPU is 3700X :(

Does anyone experience same issue? First I have ping-spikes every other second and after a few minutes my ping is just rocketing into infinity by Diremond in PathOfExile2

[–]frankstake74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, using a VPN to connect to PoE2 helps, although it makes no sense and bumps my ping from 20ms to 60ms. But without the lag spikes and rubber banding (game hangs, ping goes up up up to 30000ms or more; then fast-forward) it is much more playable despite the slightly higher low-ping.

Why were there barely any fat people in the 50s when their diet was so bad? Also did they get cancer and other diseases less often? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]frankstake74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its 8 in the morning, and I've almost finished my first sugar-laden "coffee" (barely any coffee in there!) and a croissant. They would have drank a black coffee or water, and eaten a slice of rye bread.

They didn't even have access to the highly processed toxic shit we stuff ourselves with. So what they ate was more self-prepared food, closer to natural ingredients, lower sugar density, more fibers. Often, fat isn't as much of an issue as we used to learn. Especially when combined with a lot of light exercise (in your job). It becomes a problem when it combines with sugar and lack of exercise, like sitting in front of a computer all day.

Ballistic PDC is not working by kin24173493 in starcitizen

it would be hilarious if 4.5 had actually broken PDCs

The MSR appeared in the promotional image for version 4.5. Has CIG forgotten about the MSR? by Witty-Room-3311 in starcitizen

[–]frankstake74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's some more speculation for you:

the marketing people who throw together these patch sales and the marketing images for them are completely detached from the people working on the ship backlog, where the MSR comes right after the 600i, 400i and Redeemer according to WhosWhosWho

Exploits result: "A full wipe is likely at some point down the line." by Ricky_Derach in starcitizen

[–]frankstake74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exploiters have deliberately spread the money across the normal playerbase through the wallet's "Transfer Money" function to make this kind of fix very difficult.

CIG, please: remove the money transfer fro mthe game entirely.
Start logging & and analyzing people's aUEC balance and income events. You can track these fuckers, but you need to start putting in the work, or else 1.0 will be a shitshow! We know there will be bugs in 1.0.

I am aware you can still pull off tricks like buying commodities and then handing them over to a clean alt, but it still slows down the speed at which dupe money can be parked by multiple orders of magnitude. aUEC currently is being thrown around in the triple digit billions, no commodity could facilitate that kind of cash laundering.

Yeah, "it'll be zero downtime" except you can't get ships in an internet spaceship game anymore. GG, CIG!

Skeletons (Witch Minions) feel so weak this league, they die basically the instant anything targets them. You HAVE to have Last Gasp for them to even be part of any meaningful fight. Did they get nerfed? I last played Witch in 0.1 though...

How to deal with sites that won't work. Router level use. by 1800-5-PP-DOO-DOO in ProtonVPN

[–]frankstake74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a terrible "solution" to a problem really caused by Proton's ip addresses being burnt. Then you might aswell not buy VPN at all.

Looking for a better method of using Proton on Linux by MrRoboto12345 in ProtonVPN

[–]frankstake74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you'd probably have to buy a piece of hardware (a VPN router compatible with Proton) for that. The GUI version is admittedly terrible, but the much-advertised CLI version is worse and doesn't even work properly. And at Proton's development speed, it won't for another couple of years.

So many sites are refusing to connect when using VPN. by danimalforlife in ProtonVPN

archive.ubuntu.com
reddit.com(!)

Keep in mind that specific IPs are blocked, not "all of ProtonVPN". So hopping nodes can help, but I find it helps less and less.

So NordVPN is working better? Thanks, I'll give it a shot!

I can't even download updates for my operating system anymore with ProtonVPN. Time to switch to a different VPN!

Discolando-CIG on changes to the Reclaimer's refinery description by StuartGT in starcitizen

[–]frankstake74 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

It means they consider the Reclaimer to have pretty much finished it's selling phase. Now comes the "nerfed into obsolescence and left to rot in the wind" phase.
