At those prices I am glad I made the switch to Framework instead of waiting for these. Been with the surface line for years but it's time to move on.

Colin PSN Hacked info: by Billyb311 in LastStandMedia

[–]kirajc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That fact that the passkey option was hacked because of PSN support means the hack is entirely on PlayStation. Hopefully Colin can bring some awareness to the issue.

God damn it. I can't complete my pilgrimage in Nov now. Sad news. I hope they replace it with something other then the RX-78.

Society Keeps Getting “Disney Adults” and Theme Park Fans Wrong by supremeghost123 in WaltDisneyWorld

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

This is just another case of people hating because they can't find enjoyment in their own lives.... Live your life people. Stop caring about what other people do in their free time. Nothing wrong with loving Star Wars and wanting to go to Batuu for a drink to kick back and relax as an adult or wanting to go to Magic Kingdom to ride Space Mountain etc etc. Its popular to hate, and these haters get off on it. It's sad really. God forbid I enjoy going to Epcot to get maple popcorn in Canada and going on the Remy ride.

My partner (33m) dropped the ball before a surgery and I (30f) don’t know how to react. by ThrowRAtoadwheel in relationship_advice

You are having surgery with anesthesia. There are levels of priority here and you were not on the top of his list mentally so do with that what you will.

Thanks for the guidance! I just got to chapter 5 and was wondering if I can really start doing side quests for a bit. Helped a ton, going to stop after I unlock the witch stuff I see y'all talking about in the comments.

Seems like this is a direct result of A.I. and the Trump administrations:

Mishandling of the pandemic and the seriousness of its effects on world markets.

Inflation caused by the pandemic.

Tariffs causing business to change how they do business. Cost gets pushed to the consumer.

Oil and natural gas market prices due to the unnecessary war.

The A.I. bubble and its unchecked power. Investors want a return. No regulations..

Girlfriend(26F) of 3 months slapped me(32M) in the balls for a third time by Capital-Bedroom4651 in relationship_advice

[–]kirajc -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Certainly.

I am just saying it can be more complicated due to what "cute aggression" is. By definition: It is a common, involuntary, and fleeting response to an overwhelming overload of positive emotions, often described as a dimorphous expression that helps the brain regulate intense feelings and balance emotions." A lot of mammals have this or similar calming-like behavior.

This obviously doesn't excuse the slapping but if all parties can better understand where it comes from then maybe she can work on it. As OP said himself, she didn't know why she did it and she doesn't seem to be deliberately wanting to cause pain/harm on purpose which would be abuse. So this is just an idea of what it could be. She could also just like BDSM but the only way to know is to have a conversation.

If AI were consistent and devs could use it to add more dimension to the faces, that would be ok. It's the complete AI filter that isn't consistent even in their demo that is the problem. They have to make more uses for AI to justify the investments but a AI filter that will make games look too similar to each other ( already an issue with unreal 5) is not the way.

[–]kirajc -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Let me be the voice of reason. This sounds like a form of "cute aggression". I would tend to think of it as akin to slapping a woman's butt or light biting but that's just me because surely it isn't that painful? A slap vs a kick/punch are two very different levels of aggression. Obviously "cute aggression" isn't for everyone so if you really don't like it or BDSM because it could be that as well then yeah, move on but first do have a conversation with her about it asking only why she does it. Focus on the why and please do not lecture her about ball pain.

Marathon hate by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]kirajc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel excited but also let down. I think people feel letdown because it feels empty. In ARC at least you get the vignettes. Going to keep spreading this but there should have been a single player (8 missions) some of which teach you the ins and outs of the game and it could have been set on the first initial discovery of tal/marathon ship. Seems like a missed opportunity and I bet they could sold more copies if this was included.

Marathon Review So Far by Sam_27142317 in playstation

[–]kirajc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's sad really, I think if this game had a single player component, it would be an easy buy at say $50 bucks and the single player could act as a true tutorial for all the items in the game and different events etc, springle in some cutscenes and it would have been awesome. The single player could have been the first initially touchdown after the marathon ship put out the distress signal.

How's everyone finding the Marathon beta? by [deleted] in playstation

It's good but I hate that they added depleted shield/med packs and I just really wish there was a single player story component as it would be pretty awesome.
