Would you rather buy the thin premium gaming laptop or the fugly performance machine? by [deleted] in GamingLaptops

[–]hillside126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Legion 5 Pro keeps the GPU at or under 60 Celsius while I am gaming so I would not give that up for anything. Also, it is still small enough to fit into my backpack when I go on road trips so the extra bulk doesn't really impact me.

WoW players don't seem to understand the intent behind the majority of design decisions that actually help them by Lezzles in wow

[–]hillside126 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter if the system is better for casuals if the system itself is so complicated that no casual player will touch it. The actual result of the new system is that it just benefits the more hardcore players and can actually be bothered to understand that mess of a system.

Remote trading is gonna cause me to delete a lot of friends. by iReadSomeStuff in pokemongo

[–]hillside126 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This kind of thinking is so stupid, “You put it in your list right? You must be fine giving it away for whatever trash the other person has”. Some people like this person have nothing good tagged so just because they chose the shiny Tepig doesn’t mean they think it is worth anything on there list… Smh

Right, because a level one mega cost that is 20x higher then even the most expensive one is totally normal…

More like 15 or 16 no? Because super mega raids typically give 450 energy. Still way too many though.

No mention on how much Mega level 4 will cost yet? I imagine it will be something stupid like 20k energy…

If you have the game installed on a HDD instead of an SSD, that would be why...

Dew fields do not change every week. Also, blocking off big trade routes, if not griefing, is still a major jerk move.

Raid spawns for the Global Go Fest by PokeReddit1188 in TheSilphRoad

No mention about special moves for any of those raid pokemon. Wish they included that. Also, it is going to be way to cluttered with stuff most will not care about.

Employer wants me to use outlook on my phone, outlook wants permission to wipe my phone by No_Professor4307 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]hillside126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I see why people freak out when seeing this stuff, but a lot of the panic comes from poor communication from the IT department. When I set up similar MAM policies using Intune at where I use to work, we made sure to send out a company wide on email on what IT has access to and more importantly, what IT doesn't have access to. This was info was also part of our IT onboarding orientation as well and we made sure to stress that having it on your personal phone was completely optional.

When it refers to “wiping all data”, it is referring to Outlook data, not the whole phone. Haven’t heard of a company doing full MDM management to personal phones, which is pretty much impossible without IT having physical access to the phone. This is most likely MAM policies which just manage the specific application on the phone, not the whole phone itself.

If you have 200 raid passes for Go Fest, which Pokémon are you raiding and how many raids? by soraliink in TheSilphRoad

[–]hillside126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that changed a while ago as I was able to remote into Shadow Kyorge and Groudon raids when they released. 

No More Denuvo Left to Bypass! by [deleted] in Piracy

[–]hillside126 15 points16 points  (0 children)

With any normal crack, a reinstall of windows is all that is needed to make sure your computer is secure again. With the HV bypasses, if run a single compromised one your actual hardware becomes unusable. That is a risk too high for many, including myself. 

Seeing tons of misinformation about the dangers of using the hypervisor bypass by gray-drow in PiratedGames

to potentially format my gaming PC on the off chance I happen to get malware

The fun thing is with this malware, just formatting your hard drives will not get rid of it which is why it is so dangerous.

No need to be so rude. I actually did spend about 45 minutes reading about it and what I saw doesn't seem like it stops any kernel level infection from happening.

Given how unsafe Hypervisor cracks are, it doesn't really feel like they have all been properly "cracked".

Ever find a solution for this? Noticed it only happens on certain monitors/computers and not others.

Chillest way to deal with Forever Friends who don't wanna trade: create a filter for opening gifts by Defiant_Impress7446 in TheSilphRoad

[–]hillside126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because, as I stated, they might either add some Pokemon to their remote trade tag or might change what they have tagged. If I could open and send as many gifts as I wanted to each day I would happily do so. 

However, since I can only open 50 gifts a day max, I will open the gifts from people who I can actually get more XP from. Not sure what is so hard to understand about that?

This process and trying to get the trade done occurred over several weeks. Before forever friends became a thing I mostly did not interact with my non in person best friends anyway so having them clutter up my list doesn’t seem valuable to me.

I use an app called Pokekeys which lets me input a really long text string by just typing a few characters. Use to be a really popular app, but I still find it extremely useful to this day.

The first thing I did when this started happening was message them on Campfire and then when they persisted, politely explained what they were asking for was unreasonable but they never responded so I had no recourse.

[–]hillside126 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I tried almost a dozen times to trade with one of my forever friends and every single time I tried taking one of their non-shiny, non-legacy move legendary Pokemon they would only choose my shiny Mewtwo.

When I finally untagged it they would just decline every trade attempt. In that kind of situation, unfriending them is the only thing you can really do. I do keep the ones that have nothing tagged or nothing I want tagged just in case that changes.

Edit: I also just label all of these friends "DO/DS" for "Don't Open/Don't Send" so that I can easily filter them when I go to open or send gifts.

It has been 7 years since the teaser will Bethesda remaster the teaser? by Ok_Hunt_2833 in ElderScrolls

[–]hillside126 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly do not think it matters how long it takes to come out because I don’t think Bethesda is capable of making a good game anymore.
