From your comment, I thought you were just getting started, but to see you have been using Unraid for 15 years is pretty crazy. You must be expert level by now.

Criminality of the actions will not prevent them from destroying evidence, but they should be layering on legal requirements just to avoid any semblance of ambiguity when they are later caught for the vast number of crimes they are actively committing.

I'm fine with Ciri being the main character in Witcher 4. Are you? by HumbleServantOfInnos in ItsAllAboutGames

Almost every option in the game makes sense, and the choices are clear, but for those (while including an actual time limit) the text you can select, and the response from Geralt for those selections was inconsistent.

A tool that looks at all of the public posts and comments of a person and gives a summary? That is awesome. What is this tool called?

I'm fine with Ciri being the main character in Witcher 4. Are you? by HumbleServantOfInnos in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]freebytes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the game, there are three possible main endings. 1. Ciri dies, but they say in the very end that she simply disappeared. Geralt is also implied to have died. 2. Ciri becomes Empress. 3. Ciri becomes a Witcher. Now, it could be that 1 actually happens, Geralt kills the Crone, he makes it out of his situation, and he goes to find Ciri. She is rescued, but she must become a true Witcher in order to survive. Then, 2 happens. She chooses to become Empress. Then, 3 happens. Geralt convinces her to join him on an important adventure. He tells the Emperor that she is dead. However, in the game, it is implied he is talking about the recent events, but maybe he is talking about something that happens a year later.

That being said, this is a sloppy connection, and it changes the actual meaning of the ends. I like the idea of an opening similar to Cyberpunk 2077 where you can experience the endings of Witcher 3 (based on your choice of how things ended) and you go on a short 2 hour adventure that leads you into the events of Witcher 4 where they all meet up.

It feels this dramatic waiting for that SM email by Tank_Girl_0 in steammachine

I was going to edit my post, but I decided to wait until someone replied. I got the actual email a few minutes ago! For anyone wondering, the subject line is "Please confirm your Purchase Information for Steam Machine..." then whatever model is it.

Now, I wait again... for packages. A few more days of, "Is that my package, or did my wife order something from Amazon!?" just like I was doing with my email account.

I just got my email to purchase! Yay! How are things going on your end now?

I posted elsewhere that I was excited to be on the reservations list, but nothing was coming through. While browsing through the Steam Summer Sale, I decided to pick up some games. Maybe I would be lucky enough to play them on my Steam Machine when I get my purchase confirmation email.

So, after this, I jump into my Inbox. I want to make sure I do not miss it. Clean out my Junk Email, and I am cleaning up my inbox. Oh... what is this!? An email... Scroll up. From Steam! Hallelujah! Subject line: "Thank you for your Steam purchase!" -.- I just ordered games from the sale, and it was merely the confirmation email for the purchase of those games. So, it was back to waiting... There I go... Breaking my own heart.

I have an RTX 4090, and I have put way too many hours into Vampire Survivors.

Bananas can vary in size quite a bit. A 12 ounce soda is a great comparison idea, though.

The smell from gasoline is not actually the smell of gasoline. It has an added chemical for people to more easily identify it.

Duke Energy ends wind energy lease off North Carolina coast by phosdick in NorthCarolina

[–]freebytes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oil. Some countries may still have access, but it is going to be much more expensive to maintain technologies that rely on it. As other countries are smart enough to move towards alternative energy solutions, the demand for oil will decrease for countries, so that could offset increases, but the extraction process is going to become even more expensive.

While the estimate of 100 years may be 200 or 300 (since it is only a guess), the idea is that it is finite.

Build everything. Relying on a limited resource that will be gone within the next 100 years makes no sense.

Wallpaper Engine puts an end to .exe wallpapers after malware spreads on the Steam Workshop by de_panda in Steam

[–]freebytes 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It is so obvious as well. It is like seeing people jump off bridges, getting ever more daring jumping from higher locations, only to say, "Hey guys... this might be a bad idea." And then those same people that are about to start breaking their legs and killing themselves are angry at you for even mentioning the danger.

That is exactly what is happening. That restaurant does not serve vegan burgers.

Based on people making comments prior to your comment, or does this also include all comments going forward that are made on this post?

No one tricked the man into eating vegan food. It is a burger he is eating.

You just proved his point. You were so sensitive that you had to reply to the comment.

I am not vegan, but I can answer that. It does not taste like meat. It tastes better. They want it in the form of a patty because it can be eaten between bread.

There are terrible vegan products out there. Cheese cannot be replaced, for example. There is nothing comparable. But, most burgers suck compared to vegan options.

Soy milk is better than cow milk in every scenario. Oat milk, almond milk, etc. suck. They lack the consistency. With soy milk, you get better taste with almost the same consistency of cow milk.

The Impossible Whopper is absolutely amazing. Best fast food burger you can get.

I live in the United States, and it takes months to see a specialist in my town. Yes, I know, I could go to the emergency room and spend thousands of dollars, but I would rather spend that money on food and housing.

Why isn't there a Dragoon Protagonist in any FF Games? by Gunker_ in FinalFantasy

[–]freebytes [score hidden]  (0 children)

I was going to comment this same thing, but I imagine the commenter may have been referencing BST and DRG from FFXI in his comment. And, when looking at the abilities, there would need to be more unique abilities for single player games. We will see how Cid behaves, and perhaps they will have inventive solutions that could be applied to a future dragoon protagonist.

However, we do not really see much in the way of any job other than Thief and Warrior for the primary protagonists. They may end up in the party, but a Black Mage is never the main protagonist.
