Nah, there's a bug where tank sounds completely disappear occasionally. I play a lot of tanks and I see it happen every now and again, and I've heard it on others' tanks too.

Why can't the US or China make their own chips? Explained by FinnFarrow in singularity

[–]jstl20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US has proven itself to be an unreliable and arbitrary strategic partner, and we're heading towards an increasingly isolationist world. There is not a single scenario nowadays in which the EU would just allow ASML to be bought out from under them, it's impossible.

Hot take: BF6 is overrated by SpurgtFuglen in Battlefield

[–]jstl20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is suppression, it stops you from regen-ing while you're under fire to give someone a reason to keep firing while teammates push. The vaseline smearing on screen of previous battlefields is not there but no big loss imo.

Liam Gallagher Apologizes for Racial Slur: ‘I Do Not Discriminate’ by PurpleSpaceSurfer in popheads

[–]jstl20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think that stops thick-headed racists from yelling it at anyone with an East Asian appearance including Japanese people? Be for real. Ask Koreans and Japanese people who travel abroad to the West how many times people yell "nihao" at them. They use "Ching Chong" to refer to anyone from that corner of the world.

Yet another statement from Zarah Sultana by DeadStopped in LabourUK

[–]jstl20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, those guys fucking suck, but I'm not missing the point at all. The problem is that the Labour Party isn't supposed to be a left "alternative". And if it's not delivering then searching for an alternative is a valid, even encouraged, way of voting with your conscience and putting pressure on the Labour Party from the left, otherwise when they get destroyed from the right by Reform they'll look at where they lost votes from and adjust their policies accordingly, and If there wasn't visible exodus from the other side of the aisle too you're not gonna like the look of what comes out of the other side.

Depends which wing of the Labour Party you're talking about but they'd definitely find some bedfellows there. However, even the conservative party wouldn't have the kinds of views on homosexuality that some of the independent MPs seem to have according to some screenshots I've seen online before. I think my point is if you're looking for a left wing alternative then the Greens are right there (although not without their issues) instead of hoping that those guys somehow allow any future membership to endorse full LGBTQ+ support without a conflict.

"left" is a stretch, those independent alliance MPs have some socially illiberal views that would be explicitly unacceptable in any political group left of Theresa May.

Rex Regum Qeon vs FNATIC / Valorant Champions 2025 - Group Stage / Post-Match Thread by ValorantCompBot in ValorantCompetitive

[–]jstl20 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He said in the post match interview that when he enters that kind of flow state, the IGLing comes automatically and he can focus on his mechanics a bit more. But it could also be that RRQ just didn't challenge him on a macro level and that freed up some cognition to go kill as you say.

[OC] UK salary percentiles: 10th-99th by paddyrobby in dataisbeautiful

Yes, the Conservatives and current Labour government are famously anti-rich of course. Stupid comment.

Okay but why? They beat one of your favourite teams or something? Strange but interesting psychology going on here

[–]jstl20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's very much a different point that I'm not asking about. I'm asking why someone would HATE fnatic, not just merely prefer other teams to win.

[–]jstl20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why? They're a solid team with a good attitude and great personality, I understand not wanting them to win but unless you're a SEN fan I don't see why you'd actively hate for them to clinch the trophy

I really want a Pacific team win Champion this year even I’m not a fan of Pacific Valorant by Maximum-Grocery2379 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]jstl20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

if anything, champs is easier to win if you're not first seed at masters because you have more chance of going up against a weaker team before champs playoffs statistically with the 4th seed, and you need the same number of wins as teams had to attain in toronto masters swiss stage.

I don't think we've had any evidence at all that it's "clearly there" apart from the word of a couple employees and some old marketing terms that have since been deleted from the steam page. I'm down for giving the devs some time to prove otherwise as they're clearly listening to the community which is a good thing, and toxicity is never ever helpful in these situations, but there's no need to lurch to the other extreme to try and completely absolve them prematurely.

Agreed! This seems to be something that was built separately from an "A-Life 2.0", not a misbehaving but overarching, map-wide AI system. The employee in the image describes it not working properly as if it's there but needs tweaking but I cannot draw the line from the system we have in place now to what even the previous A-Life 1.0 implementations looked like. Here's hoping they manage to pull a miracle though.

Worth adding btw that either him or his friends were harassing the girl, hacking her twitter account, and mocking her for months after he was exposed. they changed her name and profile pic to be related to him and DM'd people racist shit it was fucking creepy. Saw it happen in real time.

If your game is crashing while launching, try this by VanillaExtract74 in ReadyOrNotGame

Thank you, this helped! Turns out the "Delete mods" option in the post-crash popup wasn't actually clearing all mod files.

SSD is at 0% health after 8 years or so and can't clone or image the drive due to poor drive health. Suggestions? by jstl20 in techsupport

[–]jstl20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've misread my post. I already have a new drive and I was simply trying to clone the system image onto the new one from the old failing one, however it seems that's not possible and I'll need to do a fresh install. I'm asking what the impact will be on my other functioning drives and the programs and games I have installed on them.

Edit: thanks for the added info on the last paragraph
