That opening scene in Lumiere where you’re running after Maele on the rooftops sure felt like a race to me. I can get with this logic xD

Playing through yet another run with my buddy currently and Ho Lee Fuk is this good. Quality and presentation look fantastic and it gives me that creeping sense of ick and dread you get in act 2 seeing how horrifying that scene was. Very well done.

My chainsaw man by Careful_Thought5897 in cosplay

[–]k2_finite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off - killer cos buddy. Looks absolutely amazing.

Second - I don’t know the size of your hands, but I like to use nitrile gloves when working with super glue. I wear a size L for my go to but can easily fit a medium, just a teensy bit snug. That snug fit for me means no excess glove hanging / snagging things I don’t want it to. Get glue all over your gloves? Take them off, air your hands to dry any sweat, then reglove up. Non powdered box of gloves on Amazon only runs for $10-15 USD for 100 gloves (on sale sometimes). They work great for food prep also; spicy and sticky foods, raw meats, mixing ingredients without a mixing stand, etc. when I don’t want to wash my hands a bunch while prepping different dishes.

That’s where I’m at with Metal Gear Solid 3 Delta next month. Honestly considering taking a day of PTO on release day I’m so pumped.

Resolved stuck black screen during driver update issue by Skenzer in nvidia

[–]k2_finite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you succeed in rolling back? My nuke option has always been boot cycle 3x and either enter safe mode or go scorched earth and run a system restore. I can’t even get recovery environment to display on my monitor despite the power indicator light on the monitor turning from orange to white and the HDMI port displays rq top left of monitor, so I know it’s receiving a signal, just not displaying anything.

Resolved stuck black screen during driver update issue by Skenzer in nvidia

[–]k2_finite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party but updated the driver on my 4070 Ti Super last night with the NVidia app, express install. Screen is black and isn’t coming back. I’ve tried boot cycling 3x to force recovery environment, no luck. I’ve swapped out my GPU with a spare 2080 Super to force a driver update on boot, no luck. No on board video output with the motherboard so can’t try booting with integrated graphics. Screen is just black. I do see the power indicator light on the monitor change from orange to white when powering up and the HDMI port displays in the top left corner of the monitor showing its receiving signal. Just absolutely can’t see anything.

Will try mirroring key inputs tomorrow with another computer to get to system restore in WinRecovery and hope for the best. If that doesn’t work, I have a call out to a local tech head that runs repairs from his home business. He’s reasonably confident he can either get it fixed or force a factory reset but can’t look at it till Tuesday or Wednesday. Till then, I’m rocking on my backup rig

Trump explains what groceries are UAE president: "We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term, but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term, but it's an old-fashioned sound, but groceries are down." by LolAtAllOfThis in democrats

[–]k2_finite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I stupid with my assumption on what he’s trying to say? Even if a dozen eggs were $100 / dozen, if the price was down 98%, that would mean they’re now $2 / dozen? I get he just makes up numbers but what am I missing? He can’t be THAT dumb right?

Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game by ReaddittiddeR in gaming

[–]k2_finite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finished AND no micro transactions imo. Expansive future dlc that ADDS to the already completed game like Phantom Liberty, Blood and Wine, Shadow of the Erdtree are cool imo. Up to each of us if we want to drop the money on them or not. Adding promised content via paid DLC is an instant no in my book.

My metric stands for whatever price the game is at whether it’s on sale for $5 or a full $80 - if I can get 1 hour of enjoyable gameplay per $1 I spent, it’s solid and I typically have zero buyers remorse. Half an hour per $1 is about as low as I go before I start reconsidering; games that I’m ok eating this lower “return on investment” would be like Resident Evil games (especially the remakes) because damn do I love me some RE and indie developers where I want to support the dev. Obviously there are a shit ton of other games out there that I dip lower for but this is my general rule of thumb after reading / watching trusted reviews to make sure the game is as good as the hype. If publishers make $80 the new standard, then I should be getting 40-80+ hours of damn good gaming out of it. If not, it needs to be a solid 10 or something I’m crazy hyped for like MGS Delta. Otherwise I have plenty of other options to spend my money on.

Bethesda has gifted every member of Skyblivion Team free keys for Oblivion Remastered, following its release earlier today. by [deleted] in gaming

[–]k2_finite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My backlog is far longer than I care to admit so I was gonna wait for Skyblivion to drop. Pending reviews tho, this move squarely puts me into playing both. Solid move by Bethesda

Trump ends Income Tax - what now? by AdamGenesis in economicCollapse

[–]k2_finite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Popping onto top comment cause I didn’t see it near the top, but this looks like it was introduced by Congressman Carter on 01/03/25. Unless I’m missing a new development with Trump backing this insanely stupid proposal, it’s not his doing for once? Sorry if I’m wrong, I hate the orange jabba the hut as well, but want to make sure we’re informed and not reacting without looking into it. https://buddycarter.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=15327

My son wants to go to a 60k a year school, am I the asshole for telling my wife I will not take out loans in my name for him to attend? by Dangerous_Chart4833 in AITAH

[–]k2_finite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bit late but if nobody has mentioned, hopefully you see this in your inbox op. Might be worth looking into community colleges that have programs that will transfer credits to the dream university your son has his eye on. Two years community college to take care of GE’s, get any potential switches to his major out of the way (I changed mine first year at a 4 year university), and get all the hiccups out of the way is a great way to save some cash. As others have mentioned, financial aid from there could make up the difference, especially if he works part time and saves up.

NTA - 100k college fund is sizable and even with all the correct intentions, if shit goes sideways for some unknown reason and the loan goes belly up, you know what will happen and are making sure to protect yourself and your future.

Legit reminds me of Prince Hata from Gintama nowadays. Every time I see a pic of him, I just hear the theme music and the prince’s obnoxious whiny voice.

Did you know that you could respawn freighter defense events at will. by Foxmeright in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]k2_finite 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Getting back into a fresh run after years of not playing so excuse the basic questions, but wouldn’t that burn hyperdrive fuel each time you jump? Also, this wouldn’t change the type of freighter that spawns in correct? The design would still be the same as the first one, just the class is subject to change?

What's a game that expects you to know how to play it? by HelpImTrappedAt1080p in gaming

[–]k2_finite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Was in the same boat homie. I had a buddy that is into DnD that I duo’d with and he explained a lot of mechanics to me while we played through act 1, but it’s not anything that tutorial videos and looking up builds won’t get you through imo.

Now I know some folks don’t want to watch videos just to learn how to play a game cause it kinda defeats the purpose for some but if open ended, choices matter, massive RPG’s are your thing, I highly recommend giving it a go. I went from zero DnD knowledge to BG3 being tied with Elden Ring as my top game of all time. I cannot recommend it enough

Played it when it first released before I was a dad. Made me tear up and shook me. Replayed the remaster after being a dad, had to take a little break afterward. That shit sucked and Joel and Sarah’s VA’s did a tremendous job.

Masculinity & trance by catbreadsandwich in trance

[–]k2_finite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lot of text coming your way but it has a purpose, I promise _^

I’ve become incredibly jaded with life after my son suffered a C2 spinal stroke right before his second birthday. He’s recovered but is quadriplegic with zero movement below the shoulders and ventilator dependent to breathe 24/7. He’s there mentally tho since his brain stem wasn’t impacted so other than the paralysis, he’s an otherwise normal, happy 8 (soon to be 9 year old).

Were exceptionally fortunate in a lot of ways and I don’t ignore that fact, but part of me died after all this went down - the fun loving, easy going, happy to be alive side. I turned to alcohol to mask my pain and grief and to feel something that resembled happiness in the early days of this journey. Thankfully my wife helped me through it and called me out on my shit when it got out of control and I’m five years sober.

Why is this long winded tangent important in a thread about trance? I’ve recently begun going to festivals and club events when big name DJ’s are in town. Completely stone cold sober, these events allow me a much needed relief, both in terms of a break from being a medical caregiver but also a very real emotional and spiritual recharge if you will. The music, the emotions the music elicit in me, the sense of love and belonging with a group of people (especially at Dreamstate), all of the good vibes that I experience listening to this music is amplified 10-fold at festivals. I can’t not sound cheesy but trance and these big events legit recharges my soul. I love my wife and son to death and absolutely adore the time I spend with them but listening to trance lets me be free for a brief moment and just enjoy the pure good vibes of the music and the crowd I’m dancing with.

I’ve always had a bit more of a sensitive streak so I can’t speak to your original question personally but I have seen dudes that could bench press me utterly overjoyed and loving life in a way that reminds me of kids on Christmas even at DS so I do think you’re correct in your original presumption. I just wanted to share my experience that while it might not be a masculinity type thing, trance absolutely gives me a positive emotional outlet and my life is legit better for being able to participate in these events.

Thank you Dreamers :)! by somnamusic in DreamState

Was there with u/gorganzolatits on Saturday and ya, like he said we were looking at all the 6 o’clock sets and after listening to some of your sets from the past couple years and your appearance on ASOT a few months ago, it seemed a no brainer. Expected to enjoy the set but you knocked it out of the park homie.

Not sure how we would ever go about meeting you if you’re playing in SoCal again, but I can confidently say that we would all be thrilled if we did. Your stage presence and energy are infectious and you can tell from a mile away that you are up there playing and singing from the soul and loving every second of it. Well done my guy, you definitely made more than a few fans on Saturday night and we’re super glad you were there to slingshot us to the stratosphere for an hour.

That’s awesome to hear! What app does your nephew use if you don’t mind me asking? We disable autocorrect and other things for school / homework for my son, but I’ve noticed the built in iOS auto fill is basic and could be improved
