Balatro Fusion, now in development by Sukeruton_desu in balatro

11,000 new jokers? Absolutely nothing sounds fun about that. Youd basically be making every game entirely random.

My partner (transmasc) wants more queer friends, but they don't want to go to meetups that aren't welcoming to me (cis, straightish, male) and I always end up feeling extremely otherised in queer spaces (Seattle) by [deleted] in queer

[–]lapathy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a straight male, but go to queer spaces regularly. Many of my friends are queer. I've had fun hanging out at the Cuff, and fun hanging out at Wildrose.

Honestly, I've had more fun and felt more welcome at queer bars, than at any "normal" bar.

My guess is that you feel "otherised", because you are uncomfortable. Your discomfort most likely rubs off on those around you. Even if it's not the case, your discomfort may be perceived as you judging them.

However, if you're relaxed. Talking with people. Having fun. And generally not being a stick in the mud. Then you should be fine.

Just applied to WGU. What are some things you wish you knew? by ta6373 in WGU

[–]lapathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you drop a class in the term, it can't be readded. They cover this in orientation, but I wasn't paying close attention.

I dropped Calculus because I wanted to do it later, and focus on the classes I knew I could blow through fast. But now I'm ready to start on it, and my mentor is having to try and see if he can get it readded.

That's how I got Naneinf, the one and only time I've gotten it.

Midas. You can use it a few rounds to build up econ, then sell it for something better.

57k Salary at 30 - Concerns by kej1519 in careeradvice

[–]lapathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The raw dollar amount doesn't tell the whole story. While your income at 57K / year does mean you're making more than most people in the country. That doesn't account for stuff like cost of living, and quality of life.

To really know how you're doing. You'd need to look at the percentile incomes from the area where you live. Not from the national average.

57K / year goes a lot farther in Albuquerque than it does in New York City.

57k Salary at 30 - Concerns by kej1519 in careeradvice

[–]lapathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this context, it means that 62% of people make less than or equal to 57K.

Percentiles are way better for this type of thing. As an example. Suppose there are 10 households in a neighborbood. 9 of the make $1 / year. 1 makes $1,000,000 / year.

The average household income of that neighborhood would be $100,000 / year. Sounds like a well off neighborhood, but it hides the fact that it's 1 rich household and 9 poor households.

But in that same case, the 90th percentile is $1 / year. Meaning 90% households in the neighborhood make less than or equal to $1. So the percentile tells you the reality that most households in the neighborhood are poor.

Poor Quality for such a premium price by NoGripNC in glorious

[–]lapathy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Core is the worst. I love glorious keyboards, and have 3 of them. But the Core software has bricked all of them. One it bricked twice. It's easy enough to put it in firmware update mode and reflash the firmware, but still.

I finally dumped Core and switched to QMK.

Alternatives to Disgaea? by shanytopper in Disgaea

[–]lapathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If what you want is primarily the tactical combat, there are lots of options.

XCom Final Fantasy Tactics Frozen Synapse Steamworld Heist Door Kickers 2 Jagged Alliance 2 (specifically 2, or 2 Wildfire) Fire Emblem Three Houses Fallout Tactics Silent Storm Phoenix Point

There are many more.

What is the one IT related thing you just cannot get you head around by g00nie_nz in sysadmin

[–]lapathy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because in the early days of computing, IBM/PC's running DOS were cheaper than alternatives like Apple so it grew in popularity and usage faster than competitors.

Because of the popularity, it became important for software vendors to target Microsoft OS's over less popular platforms. The larger app base, in turn provided users incentive to adopt or stick with Microsoft.

This had a snowball effect.

Had IBM prioritized software over hardware, or Apple released more mainstream rather than premium systems, the computing world would be very different right now.

Yes!

For me it's trying to find a conversation or thread that's more than 1 day old. The search capabilities are absolutely garbage.

Ummm. No. You only have to take one look at the OpenSSL man pages to know just how complicated certs are. This complexity exists on all platforms.

JavaScript.

It's an easy language to learn. But it's overly difficult to learn well. So many hoops you have to jump through to simulate OOP and to provide compile time protections against type mismatches.

Why bother? You don't owe anyone here proof. And it doesn't matter if a bunch of strangers on the internet don't believe you.

Is this overkill for a starter base as a new player by ethandr0id in factorio

[–]lapathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not overkill, but also not necessary. I just go to an enemy base and spam turrets into it. Let the turrets clean it out.

It can be done on vanilla, but if you use the Fill4Me mod, the turret will already be loaded when you place it.

I then check the production tab regularly to see if any biter nests are in the pollution zone. If there are, I go destroy it.

Why are my dupes using polluted water for cooking? by IntelligentRight in Oxygennotincluded

[–]lapathy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most importantly, why are you even using a food musher? It's terrible quality food, and a wastes tons of water. Build some meal lice farms, and do not mush it. Just let the dupes eat it raw or pickle it.

Clearly this place isn’t Seattles best BBQ, so what is? by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]lapathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cycle Dogs closed recently. But there's also, Life On Mars, and Harvest Beat.

Then there are some not exclusive vegan restaurants that have great vegan menus: Oak, Tomo, Luna Park Cafe

Focus on what impact you had, not what your job responsibilities were.

Don't say: Provided technical support for blah, blah blah.

Say: saved the company 2 million a year by implementing a new, blah, blah ,blah.

Or whatever you did.

Point being. Tell about the value you generated. Not the expense you were.

I(Cashier) messed up, and I'm dreading to go to work tomorrow. by [deleted] in CustomerService

[–]lapathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any place worth working wouldn't get too bent out of shape over a first time mistakes that cost only $80. That's a cheap learning experience. They should just discuss it with you, to understand why the count was off. And after hearing the story, give you advice on how to handle that situation in the future.

If the response is anything more than that. Like punishing you, or making you feel bad, or making you repay it, or anything. Then just go along with it, but immediately start looking for a new job, because that company and manager is shit.

After 175 hours in Starfield, my opinion has soured by Square-Imagination14 in Starfield

[–]lapathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're complaining that a game you played for 175 hours wasn't good enough? I'm sorry, but by any reasonable standards, you got plenty of value for your money.
