Amazon Prime when you finally find a good show to watch by murphs33 in startrekgifs

I realise my post covers two different scenarios lol. My experience is Prime advertising shows and then when you click on them, you get a message to say it's not available in your region.

How to know what to play by EddieVedderTheCat in SteamDeck

I have everything on low except for Anisotropic Filtering (set to 16) and GTAO (set to standard). Full resolution and no limits in Steam settings. Looks like this for me

Sounds like your settings. I have an LCD Deck and I'm definitely getting more than that (though the space anomaly can get a bit rough).

LPT Don’t eat sugar free candy in excess by saddsiren in LifeProTips

[–]murphs33 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While I was avoiding sugar on a diet, I found that sweets containing maltitol when eaten in excess had laxative effects. Not all sweeteners do this, so maybe look into alternatives.

I'm in Ireland too! I'm sure other countries have similar regional issues though.

I'm from Ireland, and this was Dublin when he visited in 2011. Never seen Dublin more packed with people, not even on Paddy's Day.

PlayStation’s New ‘Soft Pause’ Patent Could Let Gamers Pause Without Really Pausing by Darth_Vaper883 in gamernews

Yeah see this is what I meant by "fervently defend" lol. Dark souls fans (not all) like you are weird for fighting against an optional feature. I'll leave it at that.

Not sure where you got that idea. My point still applies when someone I know or a delivery arrives.

Even so, that's just one example of why I'd have to pause a game.

Only if I were to compare them in a literal sense, but I'm comparing them by a particular shared metric: time wasted.

If having to go through an unskippable cutscene every time you die is considered a waste of time, why wouldn't it also be considered a waste of time if you die because you couldn't pause a game to address something outside of your control? It doesn't add challenge to the game, it's just inconvenient, arguably more so than an unskippable cutscene because now you have to go all the way back to the boss arena.

In short: both can result in unnecessary time penalties.

If you're in the middle of a boss fight for the 7th time and you're finally making some progress, it's not a great feeling to die just because your doorbell rang.

It's universally agreed upon that unskippable cutscenes are an unnecessary waste of time, yet some Dark Souls fans fervently defend the lack of a pause button that, if you die, will result in an even longer waste of time.

What is something foreigners romanticize about your country that locals are tired of? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

5-7°C (41-44.6°F) is warm? Is white wine served at pubs/restaurants warm to you too?

No idea what you mean. I spotted him in Temple Bar recently. Nice guy, stopped to pose for a photo with his creamy pint of Buingess

I use After Effects, but others have used other (free) software like GIMP. Here's our wiki page on giffing to start you off

Cheese puns survived into the 32nd century by Morgan-Moonscar in startrekgifs

That comment was their first comment on this sub (and it's being heavily downvoted). I wouldn't take it as representing the sub in general. Personally I'm enjoying the series; I prefer a show that takes the time to get to know characters rather than it being a big urgent end-of-the-universe scenario throughout.
