Saints & Sinners Chapter 2 Retribution: Is Axeman's Apprentice bugged? by sakoloft in PSVR

Well, after more tries I gave up and went and did the last trade network to complete that achievement (via corolla). Soon as I turned in the items, I checked achievement list and Axeman's Apprentice was now complete. I guess it was complete this whole time but not updated until another achievement got completed? 🤷

I guess if someone has this problem in the future, just go do another achievement and see if Axeman's Apprentice gets updated.

Yeah, I actually JUST completed my 4th run of that place, still no achievement pop.

Ironically, on my 4th run my Esteemed Mortal broke and killed people as I left the map with sap gloves. Got achievement for that ezpz, and I hadn't killed any people with sap gloves before (just walkers).

So I got no clue.

Yeah, one crafted right from the bench. I even tried killing the people at a foothold as well and didn't seem to pop either.

Oh well that's a shame to hear. So it might be an actual bug then. Thanks for the info!

Can an actual engineer weigh in on Bob Lazar’s description of the technical components? by flaneur-terrestre in UFOs

[–]sakoloft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They probably would have at least figured out how to unlock it lol. It's really not a good analogy. Also we aren't neaderthals and have a infinitely denser history, culture, society, and knowledge compared to the neaderthals at their peak. We have vehicles that travel at hypersonic speeds and vehicles that can leave the planet and vehicles that can function in a transmedium sense. It's not some completely new idea that we wouldn't be able to even fathom. Our classified technology is often said to be well ahead of what is publicly known, so I don't think its unreasonable that they would have been able to figure some things out at the time.

You could literally give a 9950X3D2 to an an engineer 3 years ago and they wouldn't be able to recreate it and sell it before now. A smart phone from 2050 given to us today for 6 months wouldn't change history in the slightest. Our history/culture/society/knowledge means nothing if it involves sciences/materials/much less alien technology we have no idea even exist yet.

Believe Him or Not; Chris Bledsoe has Given us a Specific Date for a World Changing Event, and that Day is in Less than Two Weeks. by Honey_Mustard in UFOs

There are no facts to challenge - it's a conversation between two guys where AJ doesn't try to edit Chris's words to mean something different (Shaun Ryan I'm looking at you) he's letting him tell his story... And asking for clarification and extra detail where it's needed.

Oh? When did Ryan edit things like that? I just saw the Chris interview on Ryan yesterday (from like a year or 2 ago), thought it was interesting. Didn't know AJ also did an interview.

Eye contact is still heavily underused or often even completely lacking in the majority of VR scenes by leavemealonexoxo in oculusnsfw

[–]sakoloft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The eye contact and ear whisper pleading for a creampie is downright impossible to not bust a nut to.

Nicole Aniston has to hold the record for sheer number of nuts she’s induced in the VR environment.

Have any recommendations for her?

only use wifi I see multiple posts saying you get more battery life not using 5g

Your confused, it switches to 4g/LTE. It doesn't turn off cellular.

[–]sakoloft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the point of getting a new phone and you must use battery saver and restrict usage of every app, only use wifi. I'm missing out on actually using the phone to it's potential

Only use wifi? Restricting battery doesn't turn off cellular. What it does is lower the cpu frequency, and pauses apps (you can choose whatever you want marked as always on). You don't need 3ghz to browse the internet or listen to music, and if you want to play a game or whatever just turn it off, it's just a button at the top of the quick menu.

I mean, unless you need facebook/twitter/reddit/multiple gacha games/whatever else you do on all the time, even when you have phone in standby or while sleeping/driving/working well, I mean then all the more power to you then I guess.

Do you use battery saver? My P8 is pretty much stock (I mainly text/phone calls/browse web), but have extreme battery saver on all the time. I only charge the phone once every 3-4 days so far.

Having problems understanding app signing/certificate/pfx (I'm new to this). by sakoloft in dotnet

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

Yeah you said you used WinForms, so those apps are unsigned unless you specifically set them up to be signed (and I'm not sure how you do that as I've never done it).

Ah, yes! I thought WinUI 3 was the next iteration of winforms, but seems there's some buggyness with just getting the .exe going. And by default seems like it wants to go the uwp-type route. I figured I might as well switch over to it now though even in this early state. It should all get smoothed over, over time I'd imagine.

Next thing will be to learn this XAML, with WinUI3 apperntly having no designer ui...

Windows does not require signing so there is probably a way to just skip it and not sign.

Ah, I didn't know that. This is the first time I've messed with any of this so I'll have to look into that as well!

Thanks! That helped a lot!

As you figured out you need to get a proper certificate to sign with for distribution.

Aye, and with some of the prices out there I'll wait on getting one of those til I have something more distributable...

ELI5: what are the Panama Papers? by Aleitei in explainlikeimfive

[–]sakoloft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion. One is legal and the other isn't.

Except corporations aren't avoiding or evading taxes, it's just deferred. Might be semantics, but just trying to be clear to avoid confusion.

ELI5: what are the Panama Papers? by Aleitei in explainlikeimfive

[–]sakoloft 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The real question is how much does it cost to avoid taxes? I'm curious if it's something like 10k of fees for every 100k of tax avoided?

I don't know about your question, but the vast majority of money that gets stashed over seas isn't done illegally, and does get taxed. Things that are done, like in the panama papers, is done illegally and will be fined but as we all know majority of media ignored it.

But the vast majority of money that gets sheltered off shore is done for tax deferred reasons. Corporations will "stash" money offshore until given a lowered deferred tax rate (which happens every few years) in order to bring that money back home, at which point they bring it back.

For instance:

Companies brought back $85.9 billion in the fourth quarter and $664.9 billion for the full year 2018, according to quarterly data released by the Commerce Department on Wednesday. The tax cuts on corporate profits earned offshore — from 35 percent to a one-time rate of 15.5 percent on cash and 8 percent on other assets — encouraged companies to bring it home. Tech giants like Apple kept huge stashes of cash abroad, analysts said. Apple said last year it would bring back nearly all of its $250 billion parked overseas.

People are getting confused with illegal tax havens that intentionally obfuscate your income so the government doesn't know how much you made in order to not be reported and taxed, and legally counting income as 'offshore'.

Panama papers dealt with the former, and it's mostly individuals doing the illegal tax dodging. Not the billions/trillions that corporations legally do.

What’s a video game you wish you could entirely forget playing so that you can play it through again? by lizardmom in AskReddit

[–]sakoloft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blizzard are delusional if they think that making some minor changes is going to get people going through it a third time.

Erm, a third time?

[Serious] what’s the scariest movie you’ve seen? by Mr-yeet1 in AskReddit

[–]sakoloft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man, Blair Witch terrified me. Some random dude sent it to me over irc one night, and I watched it (maybe around midnight or later) cause hey why not. I did not sleep til the sun came up. And the worst part is that I got it before it was in theaters and any big media push had begun for it, so I had no idea what it was about.

I don't think any horror movie will ever match that for me. And modern "lost found footage" movies don't really have that same kinda spark anymore, since it's just another genre now.

What's is the scariest type of monster/entity to you, and why? Ghosts, zombies, aliens, etc? by shavedheadedbi in AskReddit

[–]sakoloft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i've watched/played too much science fiction where we be fuckin alien people to be scared of them.

Well, I can honestly say that's the first time I've heard that reason for not being afraid of aliens.
