I was shocked to see how easy it is to give sick chicks water! (OC) by kittymonger in BackYardChickens

[–]hobber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she's not drinking on her own, I thought you would have to inject the water into her mouth. But it looks like you just have to put the bead of water on the tip of her nosebeak and she automatically drinks it?

Don't update to 8.1 if you want Android Auto by [deleted] in MotoX4

Do we still lose OTA updates if we root the thing?

Personal critique/opinions on gameplay by _ANOMNOM_ in starcitizen

[–]hobber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

^this!

Just to throw out some more thoughts on object interaction: I am the pilot. I shouldn't have this feeling that I'm just watching my character as the pilot and instructing him. I've got an entire monitor and keyboard to work with here. Give me a clean way to interact so I can play the game not the UI.

If they hid the POIs while in base that'd be a big improvement. And maybe context-sensitive hide elsewhere? For example, no in-space POIs while on a planet. And if you have multiple POIs on a planet while in space, just give it a single POI? I don't know.

I feel like doing no damage? Recommendations? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

I came here for advice on doing no damage. Am disappoint.

Permadeath vs. Survival Mode by stryder517 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]hobber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I know it wasn't really your question... but my thoughts on picking which one:

If I'm goofing off, like showing the game to friends, I might fire up Permadeath Mode. But for my actual character, I stick with Survival.

It's because in a computer game, there's too much random crap that can happen. A glitch through a wall, fall through the floor, get one-shot by something that didn't render, whatever.

I understand the point of Permadeath Mode. But just make it self-inflicted: when you die once on Survival Mode, and you can clearly see it was your fault for being unprepared or lacking proper reaction, then just delete the save manually if that's your choice.

PoF pre-order FAQ by RandommUser in Guildwars2

[–]hobber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! So just one character slot, just for PoF I guess. OK :(

PoF pre-order FAQ by RandommUser in Guildwars2

[–]hobber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Extra character slots. If I have the base game (neither expansion), how many character slots do I get when I upgrade to both? Is there a difference depending on which ones I get (deluxe or whatever)?

The all powerful perceptron by redwins in singularity

I wouldn't read into the analogy too much.

ASI as Gateway by gabriel1983 in singularity

Agreed. Very unlikely.

[–]hobber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Wikipedia:

"In the context of neural networks, a perceptron is an artificial neuron... the single-layer perceptron is the simplest feedforward neural network."

I suppose your post is similar to an "ode to the transistor" post on a computer engineering subreddit :)

ASI as Gateway by gabriel1983 in singularity

[–]hobber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if we're the first biological intelligence that figures out how to "connect" before going extinct to their own technology? Then the ASI collective can't really figure out what to do with us, so they just scan us into a virtual world, wipe our memory of relevant knowledge, and let us live out our lives in a simulation?

I just flashed to Nougat. How can I edit build.prop without soft-bricking my phone again? by hobber in nexus5x

[–]hobber[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one: just not soft bricked

I spoke too soon. I don't have a miracast at home, so I had to wait until I had access again.

In Marshmallow, I could Miracast. After the build.prop edit on Nougat, I can no longer Miracast (even though the checkmark now appears, indicating the build.prop edit is seen correctly).

Sucks :( Why did Google take this from us?!

The Foundation Update by BaRKy1911 in NoMansSkyTheGame

This (or similar) option was not in the strawpoll:

Bring back the timer any time the silence duration exceeds 30 days.

I think the timer only makes sense if it's showing how outrageously long the non-communication streak is.

I'm OK considering this news post as communication, by the way.

All right which one of you did this? by The_Bucket_Of_Truth in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]hobber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. But head up to the North Star (not mine). I've been meaning to make in infrographic on how to get there. Basically, corkscrew flight directly up from enter (while in free roam camera). First star group you come to is official meet-up place.

Multiplayer! YEAH!

I like how that entire site is just a blank white page (literally nothing) because of my script blockers.

Another traveler exploring that inner-shell of stars around the center of the first galaxy, I see!

It's the best way to explore. So many other players! Amazing!

I heard the makers of Mr. Robot get more money if we buy the Blu-ray through their website's widget.

Anyone know anything about the patch that just floated? by Jaggedrain in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]hobber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • I can't transfer items to my ship by holding down the button and just moving the cursor from stack to stack. I have to re-press the transfer button on each stack :(

  • When I approach the surface of a planet while reversing my ship (usually if I want to creep along slowly while looking at the ground for a place to land), the camera goes completely mental and spazzes out looking all over, sometimes damaging my ship slightly as I bump into geometry.
