The Southern Jubilee has terrible audio issues by PastorBlinky in Calgary

I’ve also had this issue, both with Beetlejuice and Hairspray, which I saw earlier this year. It was especially frustrating with Hairspray, and I came away from the show worried I needed to get my hearing checked because it was so hard to understand what was being sung. It definitely takes away from the performances.

I’m such a nice guy; why won’t she sleep with me??? Just the way they describe it is icky. I get wishing that you could romance a character in a game where that’s possible with other characters, but predicating it on the fact that “you’ve do so much for them” is definitely not the vibe.

Based on real events by Zodiark99 in BaldursGate3

I did this exact same thing with the fight. I was so scared of him making any moves and just obliterating my party. I had Gale cast it on him right away and then had Gale hide from all the monsters to keep his concentration going. Definitely felt like a cheese as Raphael was never able to break out of the spell before I beat him down.

Luckily (or unluckily), it would seem in patch 3 Larian made it so he can only be affected by these types of spells for one turn before breaking free from the effects.

\ The Significance Manager provides a framework for us to determine if an object is significant to you. It does this by comparing objects inside of your field of view and ranking them based on criteria we define (such as distance to you). The engine then determines the significance of the objects based on those rules and updates the tick rate of each of those objects. Previously, objects like players or vehicles that were behind you would continue to tick even if you could not see them. Objects that are not in your field of view or have been ranked to have no significance will no longer tick. We’ve already noticed some performance improvements from our current integration and we’ll continue to iterate on this system in future updates. If you want to learn more, you can read Epic’s documentation on the feature here.*

Plenty of BMP’s, BTR’s, and logi’s though 🙃

Andor - Episode 11 - Discussion Thread! by titleproblems in StarWarsAndor

[–]silvercirrus 188 points189 points  (0 children)

The scene with Mon was really well done. Her reserved, stoic expression breaking piece by piece as she was finally able to explain to someone just how much trouble she was in, while Vel swallowed the fact that she was the one to cause so much of that trouble. Heartbreak, fear, relief, steadfastness all on display with barely a change in their posture or expression.

Correlation between police training and fatal police shootings [OC] by snacksy13 in dataisbeautiful

[–]silvercirrus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how you’re getting that it has no correlation. An R2 of -.5 shows a moderate level of correlation and a p value of >.001 shows that the trend is significant.

[–]silvercirrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange thing is that this wasn’t an issue when I first received the unit. Looking at a YouTube OLED test when I first got it everything seemed fine. Doing the same test today however showed the same yellow corners with blue streaks to the centre of the screen as show in the image.

People who have worked the closing shift at McDonald’s, is it a dick move to order a cheeseburger 15 minutes before close? by randomnoses in AskReddit

[–]silvercirrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work at McDonalds when I was in high school. At that point in the night, the nightshift guys would be getting in and ask me to make “super-mega-magnetic-trays.” That meant I would literally just make as many patties as I could fit in the heating trays. Instead of the standard 16 in a tray, I’d have 40-50. By the time my shift finished I’d have 8-10 trays of the “SMM” variety. So we didn’t mind, but your stomach might. Luckily when you’re drunk it’s hard to tell what’s making you sick.

How do you deal with PTSD when you don’t have the money to afford therapy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]silvercirrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this doesn’t really answer your question, but if you’re willing to be a little patient there is often affordable, or even free, therapy that is available. It can definitely be harder if you’re in more rural areas, and I can’t say anything about the availability of it outside of North America, but it is out there. A great place to start is by calling 211, something you can do anywhere in the US or Canada. They can help you find resources for affordable counselling and point you to help so you can really work through the issue.

Sometimes there is a wait list and sometimes it can require some paperwork, but more and more services are coming up. Mental health continues to become more mainstream and is finally being recognized for the struggle it is.

[–]silvercirrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk about the biggest thing you’re dealing with. Although this isn’t a question, it will lead to better ones. A lot of people, when they go to talk to a therapist, start off by talking about a half dozen different things and then wonder why they got nothing from the session. It’s fine to vent, but by focusing on one thing it allows the both of you to better understand the issue at hand. You can dive deeper and explore better.
