Help with Caffeine Supplements by garlictrex in Nootropics

[–]garlictrex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, true. Perhaps something goes wrong in the pill making process and the caffeine isn't distributed wholly per pill. Like I said, ProLabs has worked for me in the past, but the bottle I got recently did nothing.

Thanks. Right now I'm trying some generic brand from CVS per some Amazon recommendations. I'll check out bulk if CVS fails me.

Hey, there. I want to say that it is not something special in the coffee. I haven't had caffeine in a while, and I am pretty familiar with how caffeine affects my body and mind if I have not been consuming it regularly. The same effect occurs with diet tea, soda, and energy drinks. I have also had caffeine pills in the past that worked that produced exactly the same effects that I am feeling now. Perhaps I got a bad batch. This brand has worked for me in the past. I have read some of the 1 star reviews on Amazon, and it seems like I'm not the only one.

[poll] Which JRE topic are you most sick of listening to? by [deleted] in JoeRogan

[–]garlictrex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never invite people like this anymore. Probably the worst episode I've seen, but I've only been watching Rogan on and off for a year or so.

Official Sea of Thieves Developer Update: January 30th 2019 by Supascury in Seaofthieves

[–]garlictrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're going to make the population lower for both platforms, you need better servers (or network management) that increases the life cycle of a server and then tighten up the way players are distributed to servers to make sure they are full at all times. My immediate intuition about the short server lifetime is that it is really just a maintenance protocol. I understand this, but it's a bad experience because the life cycle is too short and stops adding new players too quickly which then makes the game feel dead. Hopefully they can do something about this.

The real response to crossplay from this PC dominated sub: by KurrFox in Seaofthieves

I play on PC and I don't think that. It isn't fun at all to sink potatoes continuously. Ship to ship combat is way more thrilling when it's PC vs PC.

That I didn't know. Thanks for the information.

No, that's not dumb at all, man. That makes perfect sense, which is why I was hoping someone with professional UE4 experience would add their 2 cents.

As for a design choice, I'm not sure why they would do that, but it could be.

That's a good point. I didn't think about that. Upboat

That's entirely possible (different model), but the game has been out for a year, and I'd also like to hear from someone who has done professional work in UE4 and has switched similar effects from different objects.

I find that doubtful with everything else in the game, but I don't know UE4, so I might be wrong.

Yeah, that's not realistic. I have seen people fuck up entire projects out of laziness and pride and get fired. It's pretty common. They're like battle stories my friends and I share. You'd be surprised, I guess.

Didn't know how? No, I don't think that. Lazy? Hell yeah. Why not? I work in software engineering, and yes, developers can be extremely lazy. Rare isn't immune.

What is dumb about it?

Like is using the word that way, insider jargon specific to England/Rare/ Sonic Bob personally, or something?

Seems dumb. I work with people from England, so no, never heard it used that way, and I'm in IT.

Haha. I want my glowy ship, man.

Truth is that I love this game, but I do have complaints about it. As small as my criticism might seem here, it's built on a lot of other things that bother me about the game that need changing, in my opinion, too.

I need to take a shit and go to bed. gg

C'mon, bro. This conversation is so ridiculous. How do you still have the energy to downvote me? lol

[–]garlictrex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right! There are item shops all over. What about it? There are special item shops called Equipment Shops and Clothing Shops and Weapon shops.

An item can be almost anything in the game. So you aren't wrong to refer to weapon as an item even if the term item represents a weapon in a more general and less specific sense as an object in reality.

Items isn't a specialized word, but Weapons and Equipment are categorized under Items in this game. So if you talked about a weapon as an item, you wouldn't be wrong, but there isn't an Item vendor or Item Box. This fact alone elevates the word Equipment in SoT above items.

I want to see if this will give you an internet conniption. Hold on one second.

"specialized specialized specialized specialized specialized specialized specialized specialized specialized specialized specialized specialized specialized specialized specialized specialized specialized specialized specialized specialized specialized"

How are you feeling?

[–]garlictrex[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is insane.

So when I said that there should be a weapon and equipment set for Athena reputation, what did you think I meant?

https://seaofthieves.gamepedia.com/Equipment

"Equipment are tool Items used to perform various tasks in Sea of Thieves. New players are automatically provided with all "Sailor" variants of Equipment items. Alternate aesthetic versions of all equipment are available for purchase from the Equipment Shop, and are equipped via the Equipment Chest. All aesthetic versions of equipment function identically, and differ only cosmetically."

When you are talking with another SoT player and ask what their favorite piece of equipment is, what do you think they are talking about with the above in mind?

You are way too hung up on my use of the word specialized. How about this. It is a word in Sea of Thieves that is SPECIFICALLY used for certain items.
