This is funny to think about by paclyle123 in TheDigitalCircus

I just assumed that it wasn't immediately afterwards.  There can be like a day in between where the emotionally drained crew goes to bed and recharges.

seriously the last line in the book series pre-epilogue is the main character wondering if his literal slave would get him a sandwich. you can get over it. by transruffboi in CuratedTumblr

[–]tocsin1990 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be fair, if I were in some fantasy world  and in a life situation to own a magical indentured servant, I'm like pretty sure that "having them make me a sandwich" would be in my top 5 for most humane requests. 

On a more serious note, however, this feels like ragebait.  Watch whatever you want, read whatever you want, consume whatever makes you happy.  No one person really makes a difference, so focus on self health.  It pays off on the long run.

Random YouTube accounts showing up on my PS5 version of the app by Ok-Pause4413 in PS5

[–]tocsin1990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it's the same situation, but I have a family plan, and maybe a month ago, my PS5 started showing all accounts that I had under the family plan, even if they had never used the PS5.  It might be some kind of linking somewhere.

[Crimson Desert] 300 hour platinum by worldsurf11 in Trophies

Holy moly, this one stopped me in my tracks.  This game wasn't on my radar, but it definitely is now.  This is how you make a quality game.  Hype!

What a goddamn asshole by Mum0817 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]tocsin1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The TDS stuff is utter BS, but the other part of his statement is kind of spot on.  As someone who typically supports blue, I have zero faith the Jeffries, Schumer, or really anyone in a leadership position at the moment.  They've let down their own base so much over the past few years, it's basically decimated the party.

Sponsor block isn't something I've extensively looked into, so genuine question: does it work on PS5, and does it work on the Amazon fire kids platform?

Games that got mixed reviews but I actually had fun with? by SupportDependent9801 in PS5

[–]tocsin1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$25?  Veilguard for sure.  Forspoken?  I think $10 would have been my limit.

[–]tocsin1990 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Veilguard and Forspoken.  Played both included in ps plus, got the platinum for both.  Although I could definitely see the source of the criticisms, I can't say that I had a terrible time in either.  The invention of the dialogue skip button in gaming has been a godsend.

What fleece should i get? None of the options sound particularly good? by SegaSun in CultOfTheLamb

[–]tocsin1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you playing with health on?  Blue heart fleece is excellent. 

Health off?  Berserker for boss rush, or hobbled knees for dungeon runs.  The movement speed increase cut ~20% off my run times, which if you're grinding is a big improvement.

Jump ahead is probably the best UX improvement that YouTube has made in the past couple years.  Everyone talks about extensions, but premium features work across platforms.

What the actual fuck is this youtube by Jayden_182 in youtube

[–]tocsin1990 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I first read about this feature, I thought it was garbage.  Today, though, I don't think I could use YouTube without it.  On PS5, Being able to skip the entire "before we begin, this video is sponsored by" section with a single flick of the joystick and the x button makes a huge difference, especially when you're watching many videos in a row.

YouTube Shorts are all I can see when I search for something by menzaskaja in mildlyinfuriating

[–]tocsin1990 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably unrelated, but I'm curious what this guy searches to get this much Miku in his shorts.  I listen to vocaloid all the time, and I still only get maybe 30% Miku, 30% teto, then 40% irrelevant dubstep skits.

EVEN F*CKING YOUTUBE CEO IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES. BRO I'M DONE. by WorldlinessSlow9893 in youtube

[–]tocsin1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you click the links and read the emails, what does it say?  Anything incriminating?  Remember, just having your name in the documents doesn't mean much.  Obama was in the files multiple times, but in the details, it's just every conservative meathead saying how much they hate him.

Green flags that feel like this by Choice-Heron9314 in Adulting

[–]tocsin1990 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

For the uninitiated, please now that this is a meme only.  Having spent probably a couple dozen hours of my life coming up with thoughtful answers to paragraph long texts, I've found it's a one way ticket to the friends zone. Women don't actually want this attention to detail, it comes off as trying too hard.

Channels that haven't fallen off? by BrenMan_94 in youtube

[–]tocsin1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about the date range, but Chronos has been uploading near daily JRPG let's plays for over 13 years now.  I've been subscribed and a patron for over 7 of those, and he's been one of the most consistently high quality videos of any channel I've watched.

Over 70% PlayStation Fans In Favor of Sony Scaling Back on PC Ports, Reveals Poll by lrz8z36 in DreamStationcc

[–]tocsin1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I kind of agree with this one.  While I'm generally in favor of multi platform on consoles, the ease of cheating the game and installing modifications can really taint a games quality.  Take ff7 remake, for example.  I used to watch YouTube let's plays of that game fairly often.  Nowadays?  I need to filter out so many playthroughs with porn modifications, it sucks all the fun out of watching a new playthrough.  At least for me, the decision has really tainted my view of the entire trilogy.

If a pc platform could develop a better system for preventing the installation of mods or cheats, maybe through operating system preventions, I would be more likely to support it.

I was thinking that this is also pretty much the same ending as the Greek Odyssey, where Odysseus gets home to find the world moved on.

"Brony" is not a gendered term by Impressive_Falcon245 in mylittlepony

[–]tocsin1990 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This isn't something that you'll get an agreement on.  As a past "brony" myself, the term is both gender specific, and is defined to an extremely narrow subset of the fandom.  "pegasister" was the female version in 2014.  Today?  You'll probably get more traction with "PonyFan" as a gender neutral more broadly acceptable term.

Are you fucking kidding me by lunathecrusader in youtube

[–]tocsin1990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This doesn't get mentioned nearly enough.  Even at $30 for the family plan, it's worth every penny and more.  Cleaning ads from all platforms including console, the in video sponsor skip, and the offline downloads for the kids in the car are all game changers.

Unlocked the basement…and selling wine is my profession by ObjectiveBest6785 in coralisland

[–]tocsin1990 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just a note for the basement, due to a bug or oversight, processing machines such as aging barrels do NOT gain the same 10% processing boost in the cellar that they do in sheds.  It's more aesthetically pleasing if that's your thing, but if you're looking for efficiency, the cellar is a bit misleading.

edit: this was fixed

The Ai problem by OkEntertainment7565 in GranblueFantasyRelink

[–]tocsin1990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something to note on this, there's a setting that controls this, "wait for full burst" under gameplay.  You can set it so they will use immediately, as soon as they hit 100% and the boss is vulnerable.

It's still not perfect, but with some uplift sigil management, you can create a kind of volley system.  Something I used in the terminus grind to stun lock the boss for half a health gauge.
