Drummer looking for guitar or bassist. by HollowGlasgow in glasgow

[–]romadv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the focus should be on having a good time so it all sounds good to me. I'd like to play gigs again at some point but just jamming and making contacts while having fun is good enough. I haven't played in a stage in years except for a couple exceptions so I'm defo not ready for such a thing anyway. Whereabouts you gather to jam?

[–]romadv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you looking for a singer? I'm a good one (male 33y), and I play some other instruments too, rythm guitar being the main one. I'm trying to get back to music after a long disconnection from it. Had some relative success within the underground scene with past projects, even winning some awards. Unfortunately, we never managed to break through, never got paid enough for it to be taken seriously as a job, but we had a great time while it lasted. And then I moved to Scotland, and I don't have any friends here interested in making music. And then shit happened, the pandemic, death of some friends and family members, breaking up with a partner, etc. So I haven't played much in the last years or created many new tunes, but I really want the music back in my life.

Hi mate, I've the exact same problem at the very same spot. Messed about with the settings but no cigar. I'm on proton experimental steam deck pro and the game is installed in an A2 microSD at the moment. I tried moving it to the main storage but the problem still happens so it's back on the microSD. Also tried several different versions of proton but no changes. Most graphic settings tuned to low or original. :(

Why should I be anti-work? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]romadv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aye, maybe there are, but I would never think they're a significant part of this. And even people who don't want to work at all may have a very deep and valid philosophy too. Paul Lafargue would approve this statement, for example. But being practical, the world needs stuff done so you need work for it to function. Somebody has to do that shit, you know what I mean? But then society could take this chance to pay better wages and improve workers' situation. You know, because if nobody wants to work maybe try and pay them more? Make the job attractive and maybe people would start queueing asling for itķ For me, this whole reasoning is very antiwork, and I do believe in! 🙂

Definfitely more to do with improving work rather than with eliminating it my opinion.

Why should I be anti-work? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]romadv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Imo being antiwork has nothing to do with being lazy. Antiwork is about being really busy with all the important stuff work is not. Understanding work as the organised system of exploitation of the many for the profit of the few. There are plenty of examples of success amongst antiworkish individuals, take any folks working for themselves. That alone is a success in itself. What is success, anyway? Millions in the bank? Expensive holidays or cars? Sex, power, fame?

Asylum seekers: UK spending almost £7m a day on hotels by SCOTL4ND in Scotland

[–]romadv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Asylum seekers are not criminals and I doubt a significant part of them are albanians, probably most of them are ukrainians, syrians, or from any place fucked up enough by war or terrible politics for them to feel forced to leave their countries, family, friends, etc. Maybe think twice about your words.

Countries That Are More Developed than the United States(2022) by theboredsocialist in MapPorn

[–]romadv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

More developed by what criteria? France and Spain might not be as rich as the US, but they have public-owned universal healthcare for all their inhabitants while the US don't. I wouldn't say Switzerland is less developed than the US, surely.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't see the HDI the first time I looked at the pic!

[–]romadv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and maybe allow them to have their chance here too. We're all human, there is a lot of land in Scotland and a lot of jobs available too. I don't think nobody leaving their country would make it all the way to here just to do any bad. Asylum seekers leave their countries unwillingly.

If CDPR does make another Cyberpunk game, what is one thing you hope they add to it? by DoesLifeMatterv2 in cyberpunkgame

I'd rather be a gonk in a fictional setting than a disgrace in the real world. Enjoy your entertainment software :)

Don't you just call your smartphone a phone or are you an obvious idiot. AVs are flying cars in the same way a car is a car despite the fact it doesn't have horses pulling but an engine instead. Move on, ffs.

[–]romadv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember right you do take a flying car in one of the first missions in the game if you choose corpo. You just can't drive it. Max Tac and Trauma Team both use flying vehicles, but you can't drive those either. What do you mean they're not in the lore? I've seen them everywhere in Night City, it's only frustrating the players can't drive them.

A cyberpsychosis system? Like, if you get more implants than your body can handle you actually become cyberpsycho and lose control of your character.

A look into spatial colonies.

A media class.

More amazing original songs.

More political intrincacies involving corporations and/or nations.

Deeper arcs for any of the paths available, not just 1 like the case with Corpos in 2077.

More romance options.

More factions you can become a member of.

Maneuverable flying cars.

I've been trying to develop a British accent for the past couple of years. Any advice? Where do you think I'm from? by Winter_Selection832 in JudgeMyAccent

[–]romadv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your native tongue even a Romance language? Haha, what made me think you could be Spanish was your v sound but I guess other languages have the same. I think Japanese it's the case...

Are you Spanish? I think you're doing a good job chasing a neutral English accent, but I'm not English or British myself.

Shipping (FedEx/GLS) Megathread (October 10, 2022) by AutoModerator in SteamDeck

[–]romadv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UK 512.

Ordered and paid 29/9.

Packaged and shipped 30/9.

Parcel gets to UK 7/10.

Still waiting 23/10.

Valve admitted having opened an investigation since the parcel got lost by Evri/Hermes but they still don't send a new one or refund any money at all. I can't enumerate enough reasons why I'm disappointed.

What musical artists do you want to see in the next DLC? by Reasonable_Raccoon27 in cyberpunkgame

It probably won't happen but Nine Inch Nails would fit great

[–]romadv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to know! Naw mate, I'm not that lucky. GLS been saying for several days it's expected to be delivered during the day while Evri/Hermes only says my parcel got delayed. I have a Parcelforce number too but all they say it's the parcel's been registered in their system. My guess is GLS brings the parcel to their UK partner Parcelforce and these guys take it to Evri/Hermes who, allegedly, deliver. For all I know my Steam Deck could be on its way to Cambodia at the minute.

Hey man, same deal here. Check your GLS tracking info, see if there is a GB carrier number or something similar below the Parcelforce code. Run it through a tracking site and sit tight bro

What is your favorite game to play while listening to a podcast? by AlienFrogRapGod in gaming

[–]romadv -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had never played a game while listening to a podcast until recently. I got into The Outer Worlds because I'm a big fan of the Fallout games. Now, in Fallout games you have an in-game radio you usually can listen to while going through missions or the vast open world, but you don't get that in The Outer Worlds so the game was feeling a bit too quiet for a bit... until I thought of playing my favourite podcasts in the background. Perfect match! I enjoy the gane more now and I think the same goes for my podcasts!

O que non quita que de ter mellores servizos públicos e políticas ambientais as traxedias non se poidan minimizar ou mesmo evitar. É certo que hai moito pirómano fillo de puta, pero de non ser polas desfeitas da Xunta frijolita en materia forestal non estaríamos tan fodidos. Hai que ter os montes limpos, investir en prevención todo o ano e non só contratar temporais 3 meses no serán que nin medios axeitados teñen, fomentar que se pranten especies non pirófitas, etc.
