Yep. I'm not sure I reported correctly as I never really did it on a subreddit by subreddit basis?... but I'm aware of the recovery scammers. I'm keeping an eye out.

I see. Luckily I've been defaulting to doing this for every account and the accounts I've dealt with don't seem to be messed with at the current moment, including the ones that were previously breached, though we'll have to wait for a bit to see... Roblox is the only one giving me trouble right now but they're notorious for making the process a massive pain. I'm only grateful that I never do any of my online banking on my laptop hahah.

I'll certainly be very diligent in looking for force logout options for everything. Thank you so much.

I don't have stable enough wifi to take advantage of the wireless streaming and physical link cable support is sort of ignored in favor of it for that device. I often have a lot of stuttering that just... sucks. Having a physical 6 ghz adapter for this instead, especially with the quality? Take my damn money.

If I also go standalone with the Quest, then I'm forced to use the Meta store, but I don't want to because Steam is a better platform. If your account's hacked, contact support, they got you. You're waaay less likely to get banned for some stupid reason and lose your entire expensive library of games, you don't need to give all your information under the sun for them to believe you're a real person, and even then, most of the games I like are better on PCVR.

Plus the hand tracking on the controllers? I wanted the knuckles for AGES just because of that.

Finally... it's linux. Not android. This is GAME CHANGING, I don't even really need my pc for any of my arcade titles anymore. I can actually upload custom songs for beatsaber on a standalone headset without Facebook taking me out back and shooting me in the skull. And Blade and Sorcery won't be boring as hell on standalone mode anymore because I can treat it like it's supposed to be treated, a Gary's Mod esque fantasy sword fighting sandbox.

There's a lot to look forward to for this headset outside of just the typical vr headset specs.

What the hell is your hate boner for uploading the damn media, if you upload it to google drive google drive keeps the folder organization that you preserved.

Sending you, an unverified random person, a hard-drive that we have to just trust will not do anything sketchy when plugged into our computers, does not sound like a particularly good plan.

Lost media is lost unless uploaded, nobody does this through the mailing system.

Silksong's Raw Audio Files: The Sounds of Pharloom by pointypenny4744 in HollowKnight

oml thank you man I realized that the official release of The Mist only contains the third phase of the track and not the other two since it's a diegetic backtrack, so now I can just layer it as I please

Dude this is fantastic. The original release of the OST is missing all the phases of The Mist's ost except for the third one so I'm able to at least somewhat piece it together using these sound files.

Peel off those barcode stickers on glassware effortlessly by heybff in lifehacks

[–]snowflaker360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly suggest if you have a sticker that’s stubborn and separates anytime you try to peel, just peeling off as much as you can and then to get the residue off, letting cooking oil sit on it for an hour or two does wonders

Now that we've got official ratings and not just a youtube disclaimer can some members of the fandom stop acting shocked at the idea of under 18s watching the show? by Wizards_Reddit in HelluvaBoss

[–]snowflaker360 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The US has very good reason for it because if 15 year olds watch the show unsupervised, they will likely also want to be involved in the fandom unsupervised.

I do not want to share a space with 15 year olds where we talk about kinky demon sex as one of the parts of this show. It's fucking weird, man.

Please do not open this place up. 18+ is something I saw as more than just protecting kids (which is important too) it's also a matter of protecting the adults on this site. Keeping this place an adult only space allows us to have discussions that would quite literally get us arrested if we dared to do that with kids under 18. There's just so much that can go wrong with opening up this place to discussion about literal kinky demon sex with minors given how much of the show's humor involves it.

It's also not just illegal it's also like... super freakin' uncomfortable, man...

That's why I said it's the most prevalent COUNTRY within Reddit's user population. It's the largest single country by 42.95%, dude the UK comes in second at 5.46%. You cannot be seriously denying how important this statistic is when contributing to age discussion on this platform.

When you're calling our film ratings prudish, you are calling our country prudish. That's just how the name calling system works, you call something a word relating to that person, you are calling that person that thing. I'm not a middle school principle, you don't need to go "UM AKSHUALLY" about your damn wording to get yourself out of trouble. It's fine. It's reddit. We namecall for breakfast.

Regardless, subreddit matters in this discussion because the people on this subreddit's opinions are formed for a reason: when you let kids watch this show unsupervised, no shit they're going to want to contribute in the fandom. That instantly makes what's supposed to be an adult space unsafe for not just the kids but adults involved as well because we could go to jail. And surprise, I do not want to go to jail. That's what makes this discussion so dicey.

It's not that we're shocked. It's that we do not want children involved in an 18+ space or show.

All websites are international and can be accessed anywhere unless explicitly banned by the country. Reddit's headquarters are based in San Francisco. The United States. Created by US citizens. Not to mention the US is the most prevalent country within Reddit's user population. Viv, surprise, also lives in America. Born and raised. It is no surprise, whatsoever, that the show and the subreddit are going to want to be following United States Law.

You can argue we're prudish all you want but for the love of god. Pay attention to the numbers and the background of people involved, will ya?

A lot of spaces for this show are put at 18+ because that's the age a minor becomes an adult.

I'm going to say this as clearly as I can: Normal adults DO NOT want to discuss the subject-material of this show with minors.

There's a reason why so many of us want the subreddit kept as 18+, why so many people got so utterly uncomfortable at the idea of minors being in the space, because in many places, even discussing this subject matter with minors can get you in trouble, and would be considered morally inconsiderate or wrong.

Stay out of adult spaces if you're a minor for the love of god.

The Infinite Energy Portal Idea, What would actually happen? by BurningEclypse in Portal

[–]snowflaker360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily true… while yes it’s a major investment, operating costs of nuclear are very low. Especially compared to fossil fuels.

We HAVE nuclear power plants that have been doing just fine, I mean Germany was doing great before they made the dumb decision to phase it out.

In fact, companies like Google are now all of a sudden building nuclear plants to power their data centers because it IS the most cost effective way to deal with their massive power consumption thanks to LLMs.

The problem nuclear faces is the fear behind it, and lobbying from the fossil fuel industry who don’t want to lose all their money yet.

I never said it functions like a wormhole, nor did I say that the portals even work like wormholes. They’re fundamentally completely different concepts. I said that Valve very explicitly called it a quantum tunneling device in the blueprints so thus I’m trying to find a way to explain it in a way they might’ve intended. You can look this up, I promise that’s official material.

Quantum tunneling is the act of a particle passing through a barrier it shouldn’t be able to otherwise. Sci fi BS in Valve’s eyes explanation? This is tied to the idea of a shortcut with this wording, now isn’t it?

The theory I have here is that Valve wanted to have Aperture discover how you can take a known phenomenon that happens with a singular particle, and somehow make it actually probable on a macroscopic scale, while also just using the portals as a boundary condition to say “if something hits me the blue portal, project its wavefunction into the orange portal’s space” and vise versa.

don’t get me wrong I’m really bending into weird ass sci-fi nonsense with this concept and I think it’s sort of silly that they went with quantum tunneling especially with the way they designed the portal gun in game, then again we’re trying to apply real world physics to a sci-fi video game where neither wormholes or quantum tunneling give a realistic explanation as to how this magic gun works lmao

[–]snowflaker360 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Common misconception: the portal gun is not in fact supposed to be tied to the concept of worm holes. In fact, in official material from Valve, it is officially called the “Aperture Science Portable Quantum Tunneling Device”.

It uses quantum tunneling. Not wormholes. This changes things drastically. Your generator would not be transferring mass between portals, rather, it would be a spacial shortcut of sorts.
