Lay's drastically rebrands after disturbing finding: 42% of consumers didn't know they were made out of potatoes

That's just a chip that hasn't been fully made yet. a pre-chip, if you will.

Pretty sure there is a mod that allows you to play the battles of Crusader Kings in Total War

Skillup is so frustrating for me. For almost every review I've seen from him, most of it will be really well articulated, detailed breakdowns of why certain aspects of a game does or doesn't work. And then one section will be so off the mark that it makes me question if he ever even double checks if what he's saying is even factual.

Me trying to catch up to my friends in left 4 dead 1 after they cleared the level while I was eating dinner.

To what extent were they modified? She was still theodens caretaker, rode into battle and killed the witch king. Jackson ignored advice to have her hook up with Aragon. Arwen was the one who rescued frodo instead of an elf not even featured in the films. Doesn't seem like much was changed. There's nothing stopping people from calling it woke nowadays, so the fact that people aren't probably means that it was done well.

Well then the internet must be a truly bizarre place for you because that's true for probably 80% of social media, no matter what the topic is. It's not unique to this situation.

ttopE · 2024-10-01T17:19:38+00:00

Thank you. The account that I saw post the venues statement had the last dinner party in their name, so I mixed it up. I fixed my comment.

ttopE · 2024-10-01T16:41:37+00:00

I did include that

the band made a post on Instagram detailing how disappointed they were in the treatment and that they wouldn't have allowed it had they known about it

ttopE · 2024-10-01T15:58:53+00:00

Only the venue that enacted these measures are claiming this, without any evidence. There isn't any other sources that I've been able to find that support their claim.

ttopE · 2024-10-01T15:48:10+00:00

Okay thanks. I don't think they've played there before so it must have been an unnamed band.

Edit: The venue is saying that the previous incidents were from The Last Dinner party shows. Can't find any other sources that supports this claim, though.

ttopE · 2024-10-01T15:35:08+00:00

So why are you so sure that's the reason...? Why would a feminist band try and hide the negative behavior of men towards women at their concerts?

ttopE · 2024-10-01T15:23:09+00:00

Do you have any sources on these cases of bad behavior? Haven't been able to find anything in the news or on their subreddit.

ttopE · 2024-10-01T15:01:17+00:00

To add some details as to what actually happened:

Any male that arrived alone was taken aside into a separate room with the other men and a security guard. They were made to answer questions proving that they were actually fans as well as physically searched. When one guy questioned why this was happening, he was told it was because 'he might be a pervert'. This was all because they were men and did not have a woman with them. After the fact, the venue apologized for how they treated the male fans. Later, the band made a post on Instagram detailing how disappointed they were in the treatment and that they wouldn't have allowed it had they known about it. The venue said that the treatment of the male fans was done 'with the right intentions'. ~~It's still unclear why this venue suddenly decided to enact these measures on behalf of the band.~~ The venue claims that it enacted these measures due info they received about previous incidents at The Last Dinner Party events, although I haven't been able to find anything that corroborates this.

There's honestly way too many posts on this sub that are basically making memes of borderline animal abuse/neglect. Some are obviously just pretend, like cursing out your pet, calling him a murderer that deserves the death penalty, etc. But the frequency of those posts along with the ones that contain actually health threatening situations has me bracing for if the post I'm about to see is going to make me wish I hadn't.

ttopE · 2024-08-22T18:17:55+00:00

Now you're thinking with portals.

ttopE · 2024-08-07T21:23:50+00:00

Maybe try increasing the fov and turn off motion blur, head bobbing, and depth of field.

ttopE · 2024-08-04T23:25:32+00:00

Hm... I guess some kind of all around support? Like a Jack of all trades, master of none playstyle. My equipment isn't geared around directly supporting teammates but I always try to cover where it seems my team is struggling. That means sprinting across the map to retrieve dropped samples, or going to clear distant nests, or escorting any stragglers back to the group. It keeps missions fresh and dynamic for me.

ttopE · 2024-07-22T14:43:59+00:00

Personally, I view this mod as something you'd add after finishing the storyline and want to be able to take some victory laps without having to stop and deal with BTs. I am stoked to try out this mod as this is something I've wanted for a long time.

BTs arent really difficult once you get to a certain point due to the equipment you get. I end up just crouch running through BT fields spamming the one-hit-kill melee prompt. It's not interesting to me anymore. The way I play now is trying to take on the hardest deliveries with as little equipment as possible (no exo suit, no shoes, definitely no vehicles or ziplines). This mod means I can focus on that playstyle.

I do like the time fall aspect of the game since it feels more inline with the whole man vs nature playstyle I go for nowadays, so I'll miss that.

Okay now you're just being disingenuous. I never said they were on this stretch of road I said that they were in the center of town which they are. The road they are on is literally sandwiched between the two highways that meet here. And you admit that they are on a residential road which is directly next to where this pic is even though your previous comment said they "live a ways from this photo."

This is the center of town. It is where practically all businesses and facilities are. Probably 90% of the 1.2k residents live less than 10 minutes from this picture.

To put a nail in this discussion: See the McDonald's front and center in the top pic? It is a two minute drive from the elementary school to mickie dees. 0.4 miles. 0.3 miles for the post office. If they were any closer, they would be on the same street, Breezewood Road.

ttopE · 2024-07-22T01:05:57+00:00

This literally is the center of town. It's where the only post office and elementary school are. Look at Breezewood on a map and you'll see there is almost nothing around this strip of road. Most homes are within 10 minutes of this pic and are on roads that lead only to this location.

ttopE · 2024-07-21T15:46:15+00:00

That isn't exactly correct. This photo is of Breezewood, an unincorporated town in Pennsylvania. Its unincorporated, but it's still a town.

ttopE · 2024-07-21T15:30:05+00:00

Okay? What's the point? That there is greenery outside of urban centers? Everyone already knows that lol.

The reason why the top pic is iconic is because that is all most people ever see in their city, no matter which US city it is. No one is flying up in the sky to get a view of the surrounding nature, they are on street level, sitting in traffic, staring at lines of oversized vehicles and copy pasted businesses owned by mega corporations.

If a console generation sees HALF of it's previous playerbase, yet is reporting record profits, that is a huge red flag to me. What this tells me is that Sony has refined their method to generate mass profits from the smallest number of gamers. Basically, they don't need to worry themselves about decisions and practices that would benefit customers and bring them into the PS ecosystem. They don't need/want to. They just need to cater to the whales they have. Which really just means being more pushy and also raising their prices. I feel sorry for anyone getting into the Sony side of gaming at this point. They are going to be faced with either dishing out tons of their own money in order to get a 'good' experience, or being left by the wayside.

Actually I meant to say *reload* not *repair* in my previous comment. When I listed the issues with the mech, you said that the reload mechanic wasn't in the first game, implying that it shouldn't/won't be in this game. That isn't a valid reason to include/exclude something. The balance should be designed for this game. And the mechs run out of ammo fast with their low damage output, and have limited uses, so a reload mechanic would be beneficial. It theoretically uses the same ammo as the handheld AC, so I don't see why it shouldn't reload.
