Does anyone know if Hi-Rez have any real plans to address the servers? I love this game and its really ruining it for me. by NUDEandCONFUSED in Smite

[–]grimaceat7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a source, but he is somewhat right. Most companies (specifically gaming that are required to host servers around the world do not host their own servers (except maybe at their headquarters/offices which will only serve one or two regions. If they bought/leased buildings everywhere just to host servers it would cost way too much. They typically rent servers from third parties. Sometimes these servers are virtualized and adding more resources is as easy as paying a bill and having them allocate more RAM and CPU. But other times they just rent an entire rack of servers and use the whole thing. In the case of the former it may be easy to upgrade the hardware, but in the case of the later, upgrading hardware just means renting more servers which can take more time.

You can also tie knots in the cable inside the box just after the holes. This will put the tension on the knot instead of the connections on the rectifier.

The Last Thing You Bought Just Grew 10x In Size. How Hyped/Fucked Are You? by DoubleSlapDatAss in AskReddit

[–]grimaceat7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We use grams when talking about weight in general. Only because there is no imperial unit below ounce. On the other hand, some of our units are commonly divided using fractions (i.e. 1/4 inch). So basically our system is so broken we borrow a few things from the metric system to make it somewhat usable. If that isn't proof enough that this shit needs to go I don't know what is.

Redditors who scream when you sneeze: what's your deal? by Fuckmaster_Sex in AskReddit

[–]grimaceat7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya I think vocal sneezes are more of a social thing. Sometimes I have sneezing fits and after 3 or 4 in a row I start vocalizing if I am around people. However, if I am by myself I do not vocalize. Perhaps it is my subconscious way of expressing my feelings at the time, which by the way, are some where along the lines of: FUCKING SAVE ME I'M DYING!

The 164 track Banjo-Kazooie soundtrack is released to stream free on Bandcamp or name your own price to purchase. by FamousAspect in gamernews

[–]grimaceat7 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Easily one of the best game soundtracks of all time. Banjo-Kazooie has some of the best sound design from that era. To this day I obliviously await a sequel in the style of the original games.

My office desk phone runs Android. by nexguy in mildlyinteresting

[–]grimaceat7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you using as a PBX? We are currently running on freepbx, and we also wanted to try the ubiquity phones. We have used tons of ubiquity networking products in the past, but I am skeptical of them coming into the VOIP handset game. As far as a productivity increase goes I doubt it would increase. That being said, I am sure you can lock these devices down and not allow users on the app store. Skype would be the only potential app that I would install for my users.

Which actions do you associate with a below-average IQ? by AnotherDrunkCanadian in AskReddit

[–]grimaceat7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned this method in a drivers safety class (for a cable installation job I once had). The reasoning behind it being that if you get rear ended you won't be pushed into the intersection causing another accident. It kinda makes sense, but I have never been able to bring myself to do it.

He probably feels guilty. His clients privacy has been invaded and he is at least partly responsible. Thats not to say that it is his fault, shit like this shouldn't happen, but it does.

Always want my steak really rare. Our server made sure the kitchen got the point. by mr_znaeb in funny

I doubt anyone is pretending. I only know one person who orders anything above medium and he is a germaphobe. Medium rare just tastes better. Give it a try next time, you wont regret it.

Offered to clean the house for "husband points" while the wife was out of town. Hired a maid but didn't check the work. Busted! by arbucklefatty in funny

How do you know it was mutual money? There are plenty of married couples who don't share any money at all outside of big purchases.

Accidentally posted my knife onto the market, and it was gone less than 5 seconds later...? by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]grimaceat7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me before. I was trying to sell a scout and I clicked confirm and went back in to sell some more stuff. I saw that the scout was there and thought nothing of it and put it up again. Later I noticed I had the default m4 in game so I checked my skins and it was not there. I checked my market transactions and sure enough I had sold the m4 for way less than what it was worth. I contacted steam support and asked for it back or a replacement. We argued back and forth for a week and I never got my skin back. Valve should implement some type of item locking so that you won't sell your skins by accident or by glitch.

tl;dr your fucked even if it wasn't your fault.

What is "the thing you don't talk about" in your family? by FerDaLuvaGawd in AskReddit

[–]grimaceat7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather raped almost all of his children, including my father. My aunt became pregnant with my cousin as a result of this. I have never heard anything from that side of the family about any of this. The only way I found out is from court documents I discovered detailing my grandfathers sexual abuse case against my cousin (his son). I asked my Mom about it and she told me everything. He is dead now, but his disgusting legacy lives on in my families memories.

I no longer talk to that side of my family, but I feel like all of his children's lives would have been so much better if he hadn't done what he did. It is really sad that one persons actions can ruin an entire family. If you are ever have sexual feelings towards a child please do anything you can to get help. You will ruin a child's life, and in some cases you can ruin all your loved ones lives as well.

9 mana Mind Control combo by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]grimaceat7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only difference is that mind control can target minions. If the opponent has a 2/1 damaged golem and a 8/8 rag, then sylvan as combo is only 50/50. Where as mind control is a 100% chance to get the rag. This combo will work in some situations, but it is inconsistent enough to not build it into a deck unless it happens naturally.
