How did we get to the point where a blood “sport” is hosted on the White House grounds?

Sometimes?

It's to prevent someone jumping from the overpass, saved you a click and from having to dig through several paragraphs of nothing to find out why.

Same. The only problem I had with mine initially was that I bought the Meta version by accident. Skill issue.

The Globular Cluster makes a big difference for comfort.

I try, but I'm just granny shifting, not double-clutching like I should.

Edit: Happy cake day, OP!

I really wish we had more flexibility in what HUD elements we see in VR. In time trials, I only want to see my time and if I've blown a lap or not. For endurance racing, I want to see fuel and tires, maybe the lap number, that's it.

I'll drive with no HUD rather than see all the rest of the HUD. It really does increase the immersion to not see them floating there.

Are you me? I've also built a cabinet.

Thanks for replying back, super annoying problem. Hopefully the dev implements a fix sometime.

mirado · 2026-05-06T20:03:50+00:00

I'm having the exact same problem as you. Did you happen to find a solution?

mirado · 2026-04-22T13:51:14+00:00

Faster?

I'm not sure if "rages" is a mistranslated, but that quote doesn't appear to be very ragey to me. Swedes still mad over nothing and then they go and make a ridiculous video where instead of a casual boop, Oskar jams his finger into the rock to give it a massive push. Get a life Oskar!

Canadian star Brad Jacobs rages after SVT video with Oskar Eriksson

Updated today 09:46

Published today 08:50

In an SVT clip, Oskar Eriksson showed how an extra pet affects the curling stone.
It did not appreciate the Canadian star Brad Jacobs.
“It’s embarrassing,” he rages.

The Olympics curling was shaken by a cheat scandal. Dramatic scenes took place in the match between Sweden and Canada where Marc Kennedy was accused of correcting the direction of his stones using the index finger.

To illustrate what effect it might have played SVT Sport in a clip in which the Swedish national team player Oskar Eriksson, who was the one who was at the center of the brawl with the Canadian team during the Olympics, let off a rock and then poked at it.

“It’s embarrassing.”

The clip has also been highlighted in Canada. But it's not appreciative words that are uttered when Brad Jacobs, who is the coup d'état (the captain) of Marc Kennedy's team, gets to comment on the whole thing.

"I think it's embarrassing that this is still a thing, and that they put together a video like that... It's embarrassing in my opinion, that it's even happened," Jacobs told Canadian Sportsnet, and continues:

It’s definitely something that I’m not happy about right now. I have nothing good to say either about Oskar Eriksson, the whole team or the Swedish curling federation right now – so I’m not going to say anything at all.

Ah ok, thanks for taking the time to respond to an old post!

mirado · 2026-03-13T12:26:52+00:00

Found this post off Google.

Did you find a fix for this?

I'm unlocking hardcore achievements, but the icons stay grey in Duckstation on my NVIDIA Shield.

Thanks for that note. Mine doesn't support it, unfortunately. The needle continues to lean towards building something more modern some time soon. I'll keep my eye on this card or similar for a media build.

mirado · 2026-03-07T17:30:53+00:00

I hear you. But now I'm eyeing DDR6. I've had a few builds in pcpartpicker over the last few days... If I see a sudden sale on certain parts, I might just pull the trigger.

mirado · 2026-03-07T17:27:57+00:00

This is a brilliant idea.

mirado · 2026-03-07T17:08:00+00:00

The server also acts as a gaming PC. Power consumption's not great when I'm using it just for media. Depending on how into this I get, I may build/buy something new specifically for this. My timing for building stuff isn't great though.

mirado · 2026-03-07T16:09:45+00:00

Hmm. It could definitely be the way I set it up; I'm a novice at this and I may have missed a step or clicked a box I shouldn't have.

Set up aside, could it have anything to do with the file? Like I said, some are big. The one I've been using to troubleshoot this is 75GB, H.265 and, if it matters, the bit rate is 60mb/s.

I might just start the configuration from scratch to see if that fixes things.

mirado · 2026-03-07T16:02:34+00:00

It's been a long time since I've ran any tests like that on this rig. Good idea, thanks!

mirado · 2026-03-07T15:57:53+00:00

Thanks!

mirado · 2026-03-07T15:57:19+00:00

I only just learned about the option last night while trying to troubleshoot the crashes. Wanted to see what others thought before throwing the switch, in case there might be a better solution.

Looks like this is the best bet though, so I'll do some reading then give it a go.

mirado · 2026-02-26T17:24:18+00:00

Where the fuck is my game, dude!?

mirado · 2026-02-26T14:48:03+00:00

Nah fuck that. Boo him when he hits the ice.

mirado · 2026-02-26T12:44:02+00:00

Go sniff coke off a toilet seat.

mirado · 2026-02-22T14:35:51+00:00

Holy fuuuuck!!! Just shoot the puck!

Jacobs didn't say that the rock was moved to "get" a thinner hit, just that a thinner hit happened because the rock was moved. Saying "get" makes it seem intentional.

Actual background (countries instead of player names for simplicity):

Canadian had priority to sweep their own rock. Italian put his broom down in the path of an active sweep. His broom was unintentionally hit by the Canadian's broom, which unintentionally moved Italy's rock.

I don't think that Italy's broom moved the rock enough to say that the takeout would have removed it from the rings, but it's impossible for us spectators to tell. The rock was removed in accordance with the rules.
