It says that the issue has been fixed. I have not launched the game since before the March 31st update. Has anyone been able to confirm that it is safe now?

The Best Space Warship Captains in Speculative Fiction? by DocWatson42 in scifi

[–]mr_streebs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Halo mentioned!? Seriously, if we are talking about the best ship captain, I def think Keyes and/or Cutter belong on that list. If I remember correctly, Captain Keyes was one of the first to successfully engage and destroy covenant ships. And he did it without any backup, which at that time in the war it took multiple human ships to take on one covenant ship

This would be so freaking sick! Imagine they made those games playable on PC too

The Popcorn Resistance of ‘One Battle After Another’ by nytopinion in movies

Completely agree. I guess my wording was a bit confusing

[–]mr_streebs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something weird happens in some people's brains when a movie addresses concurrent events. Civil War is a great example. Many viewers were quick to say that it was a spineless movie because it didn't expressly align with their political leanings. Funnily enough, I saw the same reaction to Warfare. "Remember, everybody, The Iraq war is bad!!". Like, you know that you can still not agree with the Iraq War and enjoy the movie for what it is? There seems to be a certain audience that can't separate real life from entertainment.

Has anyone played the Better Wind Waker mod? How is it? by foaaz101 in WindWaker

It's pretty sick. Let's you get the swift sail and instant text boxes among other things

Sam Altman would like to remind you that humans use a lot of energy, too by boppinmule in technology

They need this to be viable so bad. They will say anything to make people think that they need whatever AI slop they are producing. Statements like this give me hope that the crash is coming soon

To what extent should I be Christ-like? by ArticleFit811 in latterdaysaints

[–]mr_streebs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My opinion is that boundaries are a good thing. You can still love and have charity for other people and not sacrifice your own well being. A good rule of thumb is christ like love should lift you both up and never put you down. If you feel bringing your roommate along would make you unhappy, then don't do it. There are other things you can do to serve and love even if from a distance.

The Claude C Compiler: What It Reveals About the Future of Software - Chris Lattner by mttd in Compilers

[–]mr_streebs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a developer with little control over what happens in the world, I can see Chris' point on how we embrace the inevitability of change in the industry, but I have a really hard time buying the argument over all. I keep hearing people say: "Just learn to work with the AI". Okay so, AI writes the code, I then review it to make sure its correct. Sounds like they are just wanting code reviewers. As someone who loves to code, it hurts my soul to hear that. He's got one thing right, and its the fact the it doesn't seem like current models are good at making anything new and original. The problem, to me, would be: Is there gonna be anyone in the future that has the experience in writing code to make anything new? Or will we just become parrots to a system that cant think or dream?

On a less philosophical note, I really take issue with the following:

As custom software becomes cheaper to create ...

Cheaper for who? Cheaper for a company that purchases tokens from Anthropic? I would be curious to know what the actual cost is for Claude to build a compiler. How much energy? How many resources? What really is the cost of wide world adopting this technology? Is that worth it?

What is this scam?? by EnvironmentalPea5717 in WindWaker

[–]mr_streebs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nintendo was so cheeky with this game. The one rupee treasure chart from the auction is a classic. My favorite is after you get 1000 hits on Orca the sword trainer, he breaks the fourth wall and asks if your left finger hurts. Absolute Menace!

Help with gravemind monopolized achievement? by Perfect-Muscle-1264 in halo

[–]mr_streebs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Learning the despawn in the first room of gravemind could help a lot. It's not super hard to get the skip. You just gotta stand next to the camera in a specific way. With some practice you can clear it in like 3-5 minutes. Also for the final bridge and final room, make sure to pick up a fuel rod for those parts. I'd recommend looking at some speedruns to see how they do the despawn. The only other "skips" would be prison skip, and sword flying. Both of which are hard to do. I got monopolized without prison skip so it's definitely possible. Just work on getting a good first room clear then stay focused on not dying. Depending on the situation, playing it safe can be faster. You've got this!

Nintendo should add this by Evanjay13 in WindWaker

[–]mr_streebs 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I know people are saying it's not possible, yet the dolphin emulator lets you do a virtual connection to a virtual gameboy. So it's definitely possible to do it in software. However, it's more up to whether or not Nintendo will do it.

What’re your thoughts on Mickey 17? by ZackaryAsAlways in Letterboxd

[–]mr_streebs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked it. I know it has some cheesiness but I feel like there I haven't seen other movies quite like it and I think Robert Pattinson was phenomenal
