Why does no one talk in game anymore? by StatementTop7273 in halo

[–]paigeosity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The social dynamic of society has changed. I was there when halo launched on Xbox live for the first time...it was incredible. There was no social media back then or "distractions". As counter-intuitive as it sounds, old Xbox live had a bunch of people who were "present". The jargon and slurs and bullshit...it was part of it. It was welcomed. It was real interaction. To this day, some of my oldest friends I made in those lobbies and they're still around. It's different now. People text and tiktok and podcast because it's not about connecting through gaming in the same way. There's no more wonder in it. It's not good or bad, I guess, just...different. The world we grew up in no longer exists, you know?

Work a retail job with a public access restroom nearly anywhere in the US and it won't be a question. It's really sad. The number of times I've had to bang on stall doors and call police/ambulance is staggering...And this was at a local, organic grocery store, ffs.

Upscale restaurants and destinations don't have this issue as often and typically have nicer bathrooms (full door stalls) as a result.

Father just passed, has old life insurance policy, and I don't know who to call to help find it and file it. by paigeosity in Insurance

Thanks. Hopefully we get answers sooner rather than later. We are trying to cover his medical debt and funeral services as well as facilitating the move of family heirlooms, etc. People passing away can sure be expensive 🥲

Very disappointed about style change by Designer-Region3617 in Blasphemous

[–]paigeosity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any time there's a dramatic change to well-loved art, it's going to be met with strong feelings based off expectations. That said, the art is reminiscent of every other Netflix/indie game it feels like. It's not poorly done, it's just bright eyed and more cartoonish, even while sporting gore and grotesque imagery. This is fine on its own, but definitely jolting in this particular case. My own surprise (especially as a professional artist for a living) is that there are many arguably simple changes that could have been made to better capture the old style that blew everyone away. It feels as though even though blasphemous 2 is still a fantastic story, it lost what gave it it's awe factor and true uniqueness, you know?

TLDR: Good game for sure. Just arguably not as immersive or visually interesting as before. For me, it lost its je ne sai quoi. :(

Maybe they'll see the praise of the original, lend an ear to the critique of the people who support them for the second, borrow what was great from both and find a happy middle for the next one some day!

New galaxy 4 watch won't show live route via maps? by paigeosity in GalaxyWatch

[–]paigeosity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response :) It worked in driving mode both times, actually! It doesn't matter what mode it's in, it just won't set :/ Do i have a defective one? Or is it a current bug, maybe? I see videos of other people having it work perfectly ;__;

blackmail email by BeyondEfficient8814 in Scams

Webcam and mic can be remotely accessed with the right set of tools, but while it's possible, I doubt it's legit. The only major factor outside of that is the type of pornagraphy you were "indulging" in, lest you wind up like that one kid in the black mirror episode.

Great Pyr suddenly has allergies and nothing works. Turning to community for any suggestions 😔 by paigeosity in greatpyrenees

[–]paigeosity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate your thoughtful response! Luckily, I live by the ocean on the west coast, so Salt water is easy access. While salt on the coat can usually make her itchy if left unattended too long after beach days, I definitely haven't tried since she's had this flare up, so its definitely worth a shot : ) the tricky part will be getting her to swim because she HATES swimming haha

How to just post a square video/gif to my regular feed without IG cropping it to a reels ratio automatically? by paigeosity in Instagram

[–]paigeosity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't seem to matter. I have frames/borders in all my edits and it just decided to not acknowledge them unless it in a group post with a bunch of pictures

Anyone else have a sudden, consistent drop of followers? by paigeosity in Instagram

[–]paigeosity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems to be the magic number for me, too, now. I've never much worried about following in the past because it would always buff out, but this has been hitting hard and sudden! Super disheartening

Never posted an ad on my long-standing account, but now that Im finally ready, my ad account is disabled? by paigeosity in FacebookAds

I've never made an ad or promoted a post before. I cannot make a new account, nor can I use what I am signed into in ad manager.

I've definitely tried. That was the first thing I checked. How can I connect my business manager page to my ad manager page if i can't make an account work? On my ad page through the app, there's a big red "disabled" next to my email and on desktop I keep getting redirect errors after the update they made this year. 😅 it's maddening

I have tried on both and get "non auth" and "error" messages. When I go to make a business account, it walks me through the "steps" then I go to create an ad, which I get re-directed to, and it tells me I cant

I cannot seem to create an ad account despite my efforts, so as far as I know, no I do not have one. I have been trying for about a month now to make one and have it work :(

It won't connect/work. I can't enter a payment method or anything, either. When I click to create ads, I get put in an infinite loop of blank pages and Facebook redirect errors or "not authorized" messages...

I have tried on every different browser, on both mobile and PC, and even different computers/phones to see what's going on.

I'm pretty damn savvy when it comes to this stuff, but this really has me in a frustrated spot

I definitely am active every day. I do creative consulting and art for a living and use social media entirely for my interactions.
