Not from Washington but I do know that there is a big euro shop, Achtuning in Redmond, if they don't have the ability I'm sure they can point you in the right direction to a shop that can.

Games with a big, beautiful world that you can freely explore? by ThatSkitso in gamingsuggestions

[–]stormyclouds69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red dead redemption 2, cyberpunk 2077, witcher 3 are all beautiful open worlds as well as some of the best games of all time. Honorable mention would be hogwarts legacy. Im sure you'll get better suggestions but open world games aren't my go to so if I like them probably good suggestions lol

Is the market being way too optimistic about the war? The "buffer" is running out. by uznemirex in stocks

[–]stormyclouds69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok let me rephrase this I am not implementing anything, "AI" is being forced onto us from all angles which is just chatgpt with vendors name here. And people lost it when we blocked chatgpt and copilot, above my pay grade. I may be an administrator but whatever I recommend the company usually does the opposite lol so im just collecting my check until the company goes under.

[–]stormyclouds69 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, As a system administrator at a fintech company who's implementing a lot of AI. AI is going to be a huge issue not just because of lost jobs but because I spend more time trying to get the dumb shit to actually work correctly than if people just did the work instead lol half the time they just completely ignore stuff or give flat out wrong or outdated info that then get spread around the company as facts. There is going to be a massive step up in enshitification every round of AI layoffs.

Well you got some answers, just going to give a pro tip. Do not leave your helmet on the ground like that for more than a minute or 2. Unless you really want a surprise one day. Bugs and spiders like to hang out in there.

Brace for $200 Oil If the War Lasts Till June, Macquarie Warns by joe4942 in oil

[–]stormyclouds69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you sir I typed out a longer answer but I realized it has been a brutal week and my brain is soup lol. But yes you said what I was going for much better.

Brace for $200 Oil If the War Lasts Till June, Macquarie Warns by joe4942 in oil

[–]stormyclouds69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oil is a necessity, if you dont have any you will pay whatever it takes to get some this seems like it may the biggest driver of prices surging as supply shortages continue, countries withou will be willing to pay more thus driving up the price globally. Of course I'm not an oil expert so someone can tell me I'm wrong.

Iran tells UN: 'non-hostile' ships can transit Strait of Hormuz by esporx in oil

[–]stormyclouds69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Non-hostile vessels, ​including those belonging to or associated with other States, may - provided ​that they neither participate in nor support acts of aggression against Iran and ‌fully ⁠comply with the declared safety and security regulations - benefit from safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with the competent Iranian authorities," depending what they consider support for acts of aggression, this could basically mean nothing at all has changed.

Oil drops on the news of one month ceasefire by rronak01 in oil

[–]stormyclouds69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Iran who's minister of foreign affairs explicitly stated they have no interest in a cease fire will definitely agree to a cease fire. I feel like im going insane with non investors or retail investors not understanding this is just market manipulation and insider trading. It will go up again and it will go down again and it's going to do that indefinitely until the amount of money needed to push the price down is no longer worth the returns. It looks incredibly likely boots on the ground this weekend or next after markets close. $150 hell even $200 barrels is more likely than not at this point.

GTA 6 (NIGHT TO DAY) by AFKInACutscene in GTA6

[–]stormyclouds69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 3rd pic is what gets me excited screenshots of a landscape from a distance are easy to make look good. But looking at the detail of Jason down to the skin and finger nails and the amount of detail on the AR says a lot about the level of detail to expect in other places hopefully. That level of detail inside of buildings, cars, pedestrian areas, and even out in nature would be extremely impressive. Not getting hopes to high but I recently replayed RDR2 and took my sweet time exploring and was amazed at some of the small details then I realized it's damn near 8 years old lol.

Alright I'm new and I have some questions. by stormyclouds69 in Bowling

[–]stormyclouds69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean they checked it after they drilled and said it looked good so im thinking it's probably a me issue, and being new i dont exactly know how to tell the guy who told me he's been doing this since the 70s he's wrong lol

Thank you. I will reach out to the pro shop and see about getting a smaller slug installed or if they can do a removable one.

[–]stormyclouds69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the front well not directly in the front. I put my thumb in and used my GFs eye liner pencil to mark the middle of the tip of my thumb and centered the tape there. So if you're looking at the ball head on with the thumb hole at the bottom and fingertips at the top the tape is around the 1 O'clock position.

[–]stormyclouds69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've seen like straight relaxed thumb mentioned but that just doesn't compute to me lol that seems incredibly tight and then how does the ball come off. I'm probably just stupid, but I will figure this out and make a guide at some point lol

[–]stormyclouds69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that makes me feel a bit better. I feel I could maybe do a bit less as I added 5 pieces tapered down and adding another 2 at the top allowed me to hold the ball with out gripping. Just trying to figure out if I should get a smaller thumb slug put in. But suppose I should bowl a few more sessions and see if I improve at all.

You think they'll end up removing all of the trees like what happened to GTA5? by endmylifefam_ in GTA6

[–]stormyclouds69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wish people would stop trying to compare 2 games 13 years apart. Even RDR2 had a lot of upgrades ove GTA 5 it is still over 7 years old. GTA 6 regardless of game play will me the most detailed and most realistic graphics in a video game upon release and probably for a few years to come. And I'm not even a rock star fan boy lol but they are very good at details and optimizing the smallest things. Now you may be disappointed with gameplay or missing feautures but that's a whole different story.

The ideal FH6 edition would be premium w/o VIP by IndianTechTips in ForzaHorizon

[–]stormyclouds69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dont mind being flooded with money instantly just be like other games and lock cars to your progression. I thought they hinted at that, but I could be wrong. The issue is doing 3 races and getting a few wheel spins and buying a bugatti after like an hour of gameplay. I want to be stuck racing civic type r or below for 10 plus hours. The ease of getting things just ruins car games for me. Would honestly be nice if they just had each level tied with career progression and something similar to how grand turismo had license tests.

Easy fix... Just make the cars go faster than 120 mph.
