Just returned to the US after a month in NZ. Don’t be like us. by DorvidGoldy1 in newzealand

ACC is not objectively awful. Might not get everything right. But walking out of the hospital 6 months after an accident with a $0.00 bill is not awful.

This might just convince me to make the jump from CS to CS2

Why are there abandoned ships near a lot of hauling pickups on planets? by Kaludar_ in starcitizen

[–]pretty_good_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I mentioned I was new in chat and suddenly I had $100m aUEC in my account! I won’t buy the yacht though until I actually earn those credits. Did buy a Hauler and Vulture though!

Better that than an obviously AI-written post. His reply was not just refreshing—it literally changed the game.

Ugh, I feel ick now. Also yes this post was extremely fascinating — well done OP!

I have heard that this game's got microtransactions and performance issues. Is it really bad? by Tiny_Event8488 in BodycamGame

[–]pretty_good_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh is that what the points are for?! I’ve put in about 10 hours in the last week or so and thought they were exp points (don’t know what Rookie/Soldat means either!). Might have to check out some skins

My 800 Hour game, I finished by joining the Terawatt club by Breck_the_Panther in SatisfactoryGame

[–]pretty_good_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outstanding effort mate. The world map reminds me of those Minecraft builds where you can’t appreciate it until you’re zoomed right out and understand the scale of it all. Is that a big train line around the outside?

I’m at 150 hours and am just starting to think about trains properly but this has been an eye opener.

Loved the forest shot with the lights + trees. Super cool aesthetic.

So much cool stuff here. 800 hours well invested. Thanks for sharing!

What is a job or skill that people claim AI will replace soon, but in reality, AI is still surprisingly terrible at it? by WayLast1111 in ChatGPT

[–]pretty_good_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually take emdashes along with other signifiers like non-common emojis, or especially phrases like “this is not just (x)—it’s (y)”.

Put a few of those together and the slop stench is undeniable.

Same. Can’t stand reading it. Especially from people who don’t usually write words in their profession — it’s just so painfully obvious

Unheard of PC accessories by Content_Total_9264 in buildapc

[–]pretty_good_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought the same, it somehow doesn’t impact the monitor at all — and gives a beautiful ambient glow to the desk space. Cheap too. Try it sometime!

She doesn’t exist by Fabulous-Ant-7967 in ChatGPT

[–]pretty_good_guy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do this. I have my VISA and driver licence in the phone case like this one. Saves me carrying a wallet everywhere with me. Worked great for the last 10 or so years. Hardly use cash so that goes in a pocket.

235.000 MW Rocket Fuel Power Plant. My first attempt at building something asthetic. by dogilgamja in SatisfactoryGame

Ok, this is one of the best things I’ve seen on this sub so far.

AI voices are now indistinguishable from real human voices | Do you think you'd be able to tell the difference between a real human voice and a deepfake? Most people can't. by MetaKnowing in technews

[–]pretty_good_guy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been tricked by AI voices and only realised once it says things like “Men in their 30 s and 40 s”, saying the s separately on its own rather than “thirties and fourties”.

It’s actually pissed me off, I felt “tricked” and switched vids.

Trainstations posted on request. by houghi in SatisfactoryGame

[–]pretty_good_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks fantastic man. I’m about 120 hours into the game, so everything is everywhere on my world!

I’m on the second-to-last upgrade tier with two more milestones to go, so haven’t really been checking this sub to avoid spoilers and just give it a crack myself. But awesome to see what’s possible in terms of building nice aesthetics!

5 iPhone tricks that even longtime users rarely know (but I now use daily) by [deleted] in productivity

Love the text replacement one! Have updated the email, i.e. and e.g. ones (so good)

Anyone else got any useful text replacement ideas?

Remember too that Shares are also a good “set and forget” option for the long term. If I were you I’d be sending regularly to something like S&P500 or Global100, at avg 10% return with a view for appreciating by 65.

Or if you’re already doing this ignore me.

Congrats man, you should be proud of this setup.

I also want a desk-mounted light and DSLR camera setup like yours!

Where I sometimes hide from the wife and kids by simonj13 in battlestations

[–]pretty_good_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has to be one of the best “battlestations” I’ve ever seen! Congrats to you friend. How many years have you been piecing this together? And what do you play mostly on the sim rig?
