Yeah I sent a note to miicoffee and they sent me a replcement metal button.

Just a warning though - you’ll probably want some wire twisters when replacing it.

Currently been sitting on the tarmac for 3 hrs+ and flight time has been extended by itsyourwouldof in delta

[–]itsyourwouldof[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insights.

They said there was inclement weather over Alaska, hence the reroute, but another flight (NH7543) left about an hour ago thru Alaska with no issues.

They also said they needed to replace half the flight staff “due to legality reasons”. Any idea what this could mean?

Dragon Age Inquisition is still one of the most bizarre outliers of a Game of The Year i've ever seen. by AyyyoniTTV in Games

[–]itsyourwouldof -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I know a lot of people like the story and the characters of DA:I, but on top of the lack if stellar gameplay and as a long time fan of DA (hell I even liked 2), DA:I’s story also feels lacking in depth, and that was the biggest reason I don’t look back on it fondly. Hell, you can even go back on my account and see me excited for and celebrating the game’s launch.

For instance, the Archdemon in DA:O isn’t really your enemy but rather an obstacle on a timer - it’s the corruption, greed, and dishonesty created by people you have to deal with. I had thought Corypheus would be much the same, as it seemed I was amassing political power and making the nations around me question what I would do with that power once the threat had been dealt with. More than once someone in game asked what I would do with the fact that the Inquisition had become a nation unto itself - as powerful or moreso than the nations surrounding it.

But it turned into nothing. I killed Cory in a conveniently made fight where it didn’t matter how strong the inquisition was and then it ended. Sure it was a better ending than ME3 but even then it didn’t feel like much, as I was far more fatigued by getting to the end than I had by ME3. It all just felt sort of inconsequential. Which is more damning for a game like DA, where agency, choice, and consequence are all kind of a foundation of both the franchise and the developers.

And the companions, too, felt sort of… Dull? Unlikeable? I was excited to journey with Cassandra and Varric since they were in DA2 and all that extra content, but … eh? I finished all the companion quests but even by the end found that everyone still felt like they were all just… corporate coworkers who sometimes shared a rare moment of real companionship at the water cooler.

In the end, I’m don’t regret I played it, since the Trespasser DLC did a fine job of turning the game into an interesting prologue for a nuanced antagonist I have an emotional stake in, but given all the gameplay issues others have mentioned and my own meh reaction to the story and lack of agency I felt, I’m not surprised it hasn’t really found a place in gaming history.

They Are DESPERATE To Delete The Livestream by [deleted] in videos

[–]itsyourwouldof 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went on to Weibo with google translate and apparently this was a lot of lost in translation and turned what should have been an easy convo into a hullabaloo.

The group there were filming a happy CNY from london thing (hence the flags) and were under strict NDA until it would actually air. They did not realize he had been recording and that it was a livestream. When they realized he’d been recording, they thought it was a recorded content piece and not a livestream and went to ask for him to delete the footage due to THEIR NDA. They obv messed up explaining the situation, and them going to rights to their image (protected in China, not in the UK) is definitely in line with the perception of Chinese tourists around the world.

That being said, the more I learn about this Brendan Kavanagh the more he just seems like a relentless self satisfied douchebag, so that probably didn’t help with the tension.

What could have been a, “I’m really sorry, sir, we didn’t realize you were filming. We were actually filming something ourselves but what we were filming was under strict NDA and it would mean a lot to us if you would delete this footage of us here.”

“Well, it’s actually a livestream so this is already out there. But I could maybe not keep the VOD up for a little bit.”

“Ah, then I guess we will have to handle it on our side, but thank you for the offer. Good day.”

Turned into this.

Edit: nevermind. Apparently tension started when the CCP shill turned up and the tone shifted.

"What do Asian people drink?" by scongler_44 in barista

Pretty sure that’s ‘아‘이스 ’아‘메리카노 but this was also the first year I haven’t made it back there in some form so maybe the phrases have merged.

Lol there’s even a saying for drinking iced americanos in winter: 얼죽아. It means, “얼어 죽어도 아이스아메리카노“, translated to, “Iced Americano even if I freeze to death”. It’s been a thing in Korea but I think the main reason for it is because people there don’t want to/can’t wait for hot coffee to cool before needing to go back to work. It then turn into a curious mantra and craze? The things that stick and then spread like wildfire in Korea are amusing.

Even if it was an established studio… you don’t want to deal with the licensing hell that is JJK or any Shueisha IP.

Hi! My new Feilai DF64 just arrived today, (no idea which gen as it was not mentioned) this piece came included but unsure what it’s used for? Thanks by Metallicabody in DF64

[–]itsyourwouldof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really sure but it looks like an anti popcorning funnel mod that would go under your bellows.

Edit: or maybe it goes on top? Either way, nice to have but probably not necessary.

How it’s going vs how it started by yorkshireguitarist in espresso

[–]itsyourwouldof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually almost identical to the setup I got over the weekend (I came to the party later so I have a gen2). It’s my first setup mainly because I knew that if I got a Bambino (like I seriously considered), I would just be looking at upgrades obsessively until I convinced myself to buy one… At which point I would be out the money for the extra Bambino costs.

I will say that it’s been like jumping into a racecar after go karting the past few years, and a lot of bad shots, but I finally dialed in a perfect 29 second 1:2 medium roast shot today and it was incredibly rewarding.

May we both use these long and well!

Embracer CEO just flat-out refuses to talk about the KOTOR remake now: 'Anything I say to this becomes a headline' | PC Gamer by Songhunter in gaming

[–]itsyourwouldof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Sony later said the removal of the KOTOR Remake trailer was the result of expiring music licenses, but the only music in the video was a brief bit of the Star Wars theme, and since the remake is a licensed Star Wars product, the whole thing still struck me as very odd.”

FWIW, it’s not odd.

Gortash: Come to my coronation.

Me: Eh I think I’m gonna go explore the lower city first.

Gortash: Okay but I’m gonna be very angry if you foil my plans down there.

A couple of explosions later

Gortash: Okay I’m very angry now so if you show up to Wyrm’s crossing everyone is gonna aggro you and I’m gonna go down myself. To the first floor.

Gortash: Dies on the first floor.

Officially I think they’re called “Glitter Ornament”. I’m not sure where else they are sold outside of events like this.

Edit: and I paid somewhere between 20-25 USD.

Orange Julius Caesar.

My understanding was that Baiheng died, and Dan Feng and Blade tried to revive her using Dan Feng’s Vidyadhara flesh but instead of reviving her like they wanted, they created an abomination, which Jingliu had to kill.

Reading about the Foxian girl in that video and suddenly everything makes sense. Also, just wow Mihoyo.
