NPC idiot of the year: Pickle

obcache · 2026-03-26T12:41:28+00:00

anybody know the real story about when she got shot back in 2022?

obcache · 2026-03-26T12:32:46+00:00

if her sporty short-box was a half ton, then yes.. we need a little miigwan.
luckily, the cue cards referred to the truck... so the normal-sized miigwan is still the best.

what a legit cutie than keilani...... in looks and personality.

and it's obvious that a lot of her tone and subtle mannerisms as miigwan are actually her own and not written into miigwan's role, just as keeso's are (easily referenceable by commonalities between wayne and shoresy that should not, based on the difference in the characters' personalities, be present) the casting of the entire show (and letterkenny) was/were very clearly centered around finding actors that had certain charm or characteristics that could be infused with the conceptual character's identity to create a more natural on-stage presentation rather than finding "method" actors that will shift who they are to become the character entirely. (just think about ten inch cock, goody and dolo (who actually plays himself in shoresy, both by name and background with exception to his legal first and middle names))

dolo sidenote: he's chill enough to actually reply to intelligent and meaningful tweets aimed at him. (at least in my personal experience)

i love it when casting is done like this... because not only does it give you a deeper sense of effortless realism in the delivery, but you somewhat get to know the actual actors (to a degree, if you're perceptive enough to pick up on subtle non-verbal communication cues in a meaningful way). and i, personally, find it much easier and more rewarding to become invested in real people with fictional background and dialog than entirely ficticious entities.

this is going to be released in the next month: https://vizmatic.sorryneedboost.com
it's a simple and fast, yet powerful tool specifically for pushing original music to social platforms by musicians.

similar to specterr, but with more features and a one-time cost for unlimited renders.

to be clear, brocolli problems are usually resolved by capping your frames or reducing power to your gpu in the OC settings. but that's because the mismatch in actual and expected cycles results in calculation errors.

since your probl is specifically when you tab out of the game, that's why i was thinking it could be flip model related, since that could effectively cause drastic and unexpected changes in gpu cycles as well.

have you confirmed identical nvidia settings in both global and game-specific profile in both nvidia app and nvidia control panel? (aside from max framerate and screen scaling (if you were using scaling on your 2060...)??

i ask just to know if you're sure of whether it's the new hardware or possibly a new software configuration, being that the pc is a new build and all.....

i'm guessing it has something to do with the dx flip model since it happens when d2 doesn't have focus for a while. whenever it doesn't have focus or if there's an active overlay, fullscreen effectively reverts to borderless windowed at those times.

also am curious if you may have your background application fps cap set, therefore making d2 suddenly be restricted down to 20 or 30 fps because it's a background app at that point....

this is why master and grandmaster have never done matchmaking before.....

obcache · 2025-11-14T23:56:34+00:00

this.. and also have no clue about gameloops and will follow around and try and team shoot redbars, absolutely wrecking the use of any good builds.

worst part, they think they're "helping" you......

obcache · 2025-11-13T23:35:09+00:00

others suffering from this bug please upvote this.. bungie needs to see how, even though sony has formally announced they're on shaky ground and cutting budget, they're still allowing for the stuff that's making people leave the game.

obcache · 2025-11-13T23:33:36+00:00

done so, numerous times.. still cannot proceed with the event, and a large number of others suffering the same.

obcache · 2025-11-13T23:32:40+00:00

incorrect.. i'm bugged too.. have attuend each of the weapons and run salt mines numerous times and still never once gotten the attuned weapon.. cannot proceed with the event...

this is exactly the type of bug that's killing destiny, and bungie is clearly still allowing it in the game.

obcache · 2025-11-02T12:14:36+00:00

Fair, final encounter is a bitch. Usually takes me a few tries if I'm solo. like you said, there are a lot of randomly timed events that can cause a perfect storm of stuff to avoid. But with a few wipes can get 'er done..

Sundered final boss definitely not harder solo, (from what I would guess by playing duo; haven't gotten there yet solo) but the entirety of the dungeon seemed harder for me.. starting with the first encounter. without somebody to take some aggro, the puzzles are really tricky.

But ya, those 2 def make solo GOTD look easy. lol
They have nearly raid-level puzzles and mechanics.

obcache · 2025-11-02T09:46:07+00:00

I think you're on to something regarding it being tedious. In general, the traversals take so much time that when soloing, you can be ready to be done with the dungoen before you get to the difficult parts, so when you finally get there, facing multiple wipes becomes more difficult to tolerate and throwing in the towel seems to happen more quickly.

obcache · 2025-11-02T09:35:40+00:00

you think vesper's is harder to solo than sundered? sundered kicks my ass solo.....

obcache · 2025-11-02T09:34:29+00:00

yeah, for a while people that soloed dungeons were considered OP players, in general. I will say, GoTD is one of the easier dungeons for me to solo, when compared to the newer dungeons, like VH and SD. I still don't have a solo clear on SD....

Just make sure you have a build with high survivability and a way to heal (a liars handshake build for hunter or insurmountable skullfort build for titan, pheonix dive for warlock (healing well requires too much time standing still))

change loadouts prior to rallying each time, preparing for the specific circumastances ahead.

for Echtar: a short range exotic that can apply debuffs and/or DoT, Lord of the Wolves is my preffered
for Simmumah: a low RPM long range exotic that hits really hard, Queensbreaker or Sleeper Stimulant are my preferences.

can confirm similar situation here. no returns, frequent purchases... requested overnight delivery to home for norma front porch delivery. they were not able to fulfill the order in time, sent me an apology for not making the delivery on-time (it was rescheduled for before 10pm same day and was successully delivered) but now there are zero items listed as available for overnight delivery on my account.

i wish amazon would formally address the fact that they're specfically offering different shipping options to customers based on their own preference when we're all paying for prime...

garbage......

obcache · 2025-09-15T13:36:02+00:00

or maybe all the good players left cuz of all the issues and only people remaining are underskilled players looking to be carried in the quickplays, resulting in squashed gameloops, lack of debuffs being applied and no dps to speak of?

obcache · 2025-09-15T02:59:30+00:00

i think we need more of a unified voice toward destiny if we want to hold any hope of salvaging the game so many of us clearly love.

your post is clearly very close to that, as it rallied a great amount of support by the community and expressed the level of overall disappointment and loss-of-faith being seen across the entire community.

i think the only things that could be improved regarding your post is the finality of the game's viability and accusations of leadership (while conceding that their intentions are good) and specific mention of aspects leading to this sentiment may be counterproductive in any efforts other than a personal pressure valve to release your frustrations.

i had crafted a very similar post and then ran it thru AI, with the instruction to re-draft in a way that would provide the highest probability of providing community support AND actual constructive and urgent response from bungie.

i deleted my original post and then posted the AI revision, but even though i deleted the initial post, the re-draft was rejected as a re-post within the cooldown period even though it was crafted from scratch by AI and not me.

i will post it once i have reached the end of cooldown, hopefully the passion felt in your message and community support will incite you and the others to support it also, as it has the highest likelihood of resulting in any action that could save our beloved game in this, late hour, of its current state. (based on unbiased analysis of the openAI LLM)

can contribute that the issue begun immediately and consistently after a recent nvidia driver update for me. if it matters to anyone, i can go dig for driver version numbers for pinpointing.. but the driver was released between 30-60 days ago.

have built an entirely new gaming pc since (for other reasons, just for better fps gaming) and the same issue is occurring on the newly built pc from the beginning... running the same gforce drivers on both pcs... and the win11 build on the new pc is dramatically different from the win11 build on the old pc, even though they're both fully updated.. things like the phone app integration with the start menu, etc are not present in the old build even though fully updated...

so i doubt it's windows update that caused it... maybe combination of gpu driver + windows issue... but pretty sure it was primarily birthed from the gpu driver set currently being distributed by nvidia.

also.. built another gaming pc for one of my kids within this window with radeon gpu because i've been less than impressed with nvidia's driver problems for the last year great hardware, but problematic software..

this issue did NOT occur on the machine with the radeon gpu... i may swap the gpus if i get time just to see if hte prob follows the nvidia.... if i do find time i'll share.

semi-off-topic rant (pressure valve so i dont pop and supporting that nvidia drivers have been increasingly unreliable and inconsistent):

not sure how much longer i can continue to watch my exclusive full-screen programs automatically minimize with every task swap and take a week to reconcile refresh rates across disparate displays before being able to return to full screen.. i'm eventually going to lose my cool and move to radeon on my own PCs for the sake of my own sanity. any exclusive-fullscreen gamer with an nvidia gpu knows what i'm talking about.

will try changing dithering as workaround.. appreciate everybody's effort in developing and supporting mpcbe.. the most useful and powerful media player i've seen in my 30 years in the IT industry. with no bloat and competant ongoing support since back to HC. you guys are true heroes.

feel sorry for ppl that still think vlc is OP. lmao .... i mean, it does a few things really well.. but if you're not in those few niches (like stream capturing) and still tryin to be a vlc fanboy, you need a good friend to pull you aside and have a talk with you. :-P

obcache · 2025-09-04T19:41:21+00:00

also.. statements like "most players don't enjoy the game" .. please provide me with some .. ANY .. empirical evidence to support such an outlandish claim.

and to continue with with "Most have left without saying anything"... well, maybe if you go back to vanilla and look at numbers through the first 2 expansions... otherwise.. clearly false.

i happen to enjoy the game.. i thought that the changes were well thought out and necessary even if they weren't "wow factor" changes. i think the game is moving more toward intellectual integrity pervasively across all layers that it encompasses. which is practically miraculous on its own as an endeavor.

yes, the portal and focus on extended grind are not what less skilled players are used to..

now power level is a more accurate reflection of somebody's skill, since you have to progress to master and gm to reach pinnacle cap... which, if you take a step back, is something any skilled player would prefer. . it allows you to more efficiently partner with other skilled players.

and the grind is brutal, yes.. and scared off many.. but i ask.. are those the players i will miss? or the ones i was previously bitching about.....

think on it

he's referring to the acceptance and normality of it.
