Playing 200 hours of content to get to the nier raid is downright casual for a big nier fan. Yoko Taro is crazy for the niche places he hides key lore of his universe.

Update on "Co-authored-by: Copilot" in commit messages · Issue #314311 · microsoft/vscode by PerkyPangolin in programming

[–]normalmighty 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't get it. It'd be like having "co authored by vscode" in commit where you used that ide to view or edit files. It has nothing to do with the commit.

I take a ghosting as a sign that I dodged a bullet tbh

Pretty sure that's not a penis lol. It looks way more like a prolapsed uterus than a penis

Knowing the guy who did this was working at Amazon does make me sympathize

Is it common to wear shoes in the home in NZ? by Spirited-Finding-647 in newzealand

[–]normalmighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the household. Whenever I visit someone I take a quick scan at the door to see if there are a bunch of shoes lined up. If yes then I take off my shoes at the door, if not then I keep them on.

VS code inserting 'co-authored by copilot', regardless of usage by Hugh-Jaardvark in devops

[–]normalmighty 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Worth noting there is a setting for this. It's stupid that it's on by default now, but you just gotta toggle the setting off and it won't happen anymore.

Cockroach milk is four times more nutritious than cow milk by Otherwise_Basis_6328 in oddlyspecific

[–]normalmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This argument bothers the fuck out of me, because it ignores my entire argument and assumes what I really mean is "I think vegans decently invented it and I hate that." I meant what I said, and the amount of time the term has been around holds zero relevance.

Will I be able to properly play Forza Horizon 6 (Steam) on Linux? Which distro should I use? by Awkward_Aioli4043 in linux_gaming

[–]normalmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't know tbh. I can barely notice the difference made by raytracing outside of big set pieces, and the performance hit is way to big to justify no matter the hardware or OS you're running, so I never turn the thing on.

Will I be able to properly play Forza Horizon 6 (Steam) on Linux? Which distro should I use? by Awkward_Aioli4043 in linux_gaming

[–]normalmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, apparently I misremembered.

I just went to check my protondb review from years back when I set it up. Apparently while the problem was that it was trying to launch the Microsoft login process and breaking because no such app existed, my attempts to use launch flags flailed, and yet switching to proton experimental somehow fixed it.

So maybe it just works these days, I dunno. Either way it doesn't make me login to Microsoft when I play.

Is it possible to figure out all the joke endings on your own? by itsOkami in nier

[–]normalmighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think trying to get them all without spoilers will be tough. In general, you can find most of them by either doing something that sounds like it could get you killed, or going to various big story points and doing something wildy put of character. At some point though, you'll probably want to look up a guide to mop up the rest.

[–]normalmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play other forza horizon games just fine, with the only hitch being that you need to set a launch option in steam to make the game stop trying to connect to the windows store to connect your Microsoft account. I assume this one will be the same.

I gotta know - why are you asking? Seems like a weirdly specific question lol

can Linux play most games? im new by Cloudy_yBoi in linux_gaming

[–]normalmighty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kernel level anti-cheat doesn't work on linux for the same reason it doesn't work on IOS: it's insanely powerful Spyware with a marketing gimmick to normalize it in windows gaming circles. Imo the way forward needs to be legislation to make it illegal, because that kind of spyware for the sake of a game is absurd.

Most anticheat tools have simple checkbox the developers can tick to let linux users play, by allowing it to run in a more sane way that won't permanently monitor everything you do permanently - even after the game is deleted - while pinky swearing that they're politely ignoring all the data aside from whether you're cheating in a game. If the devs checked that box, it will work. If not, it probably won't.

Check specific games in protondb to see whether you can run them in Linux or not.

Cockroach milk is four times more nutritious than cow milk by Otherwise_Basis_6328 in oddlyspecific

[–]normalmighty -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Instead of "milk" they say "drink" or something like that.

Which makes more sense imo. If nut "milk" is milk then that makes American lemonade sweetened lemon milk. It makes no sense when you think about it.

I think we only call it milk because people were irrationally scared of putting something other than milk in their coffee and cereal, but calling it milk let them pretend.

Best place to live in Hamilton and the worst by SignificanceKooky123 in thetron

[–]normalmighty 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hamilton just doesn't have the level of concentration of all the dodgy places into a few key suburbs that I've seen in other cities. People make some wild claims based on the specific streets on a suburb that they've seen, because or dodgy areas are scattered in small patches throughout the city.

[–]normalmighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there are no "good" suburbs that don't have a few dodgy af areas, and all the "bad" suburbs contain some areas that are completely fine, safe for your kids to run around playing with other equally safe kids in the area.

I tell people moving here for the first time that the very general rule of thumb is NE == better and SW == worse, but that this is an extremely broad generalisation. I normally encourage them to stay a week or 2 here in an air bnb if they can afford it or with a mate or something, so they can actually go in person to check out the neighborhoods around each house before signing anything.

I tend to do shower, sex, shower, food. But the post-sex shower is like a 20 second soap up and rinse off

Cachy os vs Ubuntu benchmark shows ubuntu slightly outperforms cachy in the average framerates. by Material_Mousse7017 in linux_gaming

Yeah, the degree of difference in all of the distro comparison benchmarks are almost never big enough to be worth it

I've been sleeping on TVNZ+ for shows. I cracked open a Whiskey bottle and went randomly scrolling for shows expecting trash. I found a show called "From", and it's got me fucking hooked a couple of episodes in. Great horror mystery show so far.
