Having never played it and knowing basically nothing aside from the premise and the bottle caps.
What. The. ***. Is going on in this show lol.
Not as in explain it to me. Just a statement of general confusion. Interconnected vaults completely defeats the purpose and there's some serious glaring plotholes immediately leading to said confusion.

Maybe Im being spoiled, but its friggings annoying when they give us the textbook, and simply ignore it when writing the tests... use 4 books never mentioned before and thats it.
I would still be barely fine if this was a core subject but no! its administration! Its one of those transverse subject to make us more "well rounded" worker... Just grab some random topics in a random subject, make a textbook then ignore all of it to make 30 frigging tests for those wannabe's programmers

Pretty sure this result isn't far off what I got on the Endwalker benchmark already. Guess I'm good for another few expansions.
Now I wait for XVI and Rebirth and see if those will need me to upgrade. :x

Guess I'll be good for awhile. Hype still 0. Though the zone art for that white mountain zone kinda got an intrigue point out of me.

Had I known from the jump fallout was going to do the cliche mystery work backwards, I'd have liked it more at the start.
As in the entire show is mystery but not mentioned at all. More than retro-future, more than apocalypse, more than action or comedy it's a mystery series. half written out of order as per the cliche.
That last episode, is really *** good

Just finished 3 Body Problem. Not impressed. 20 million an episode apparently, have no idea where the money was going. Also, why England? Why not just tell the story as it was written? But if you are going to change it, England? You expect me to believe that if aliens are coming to invade the planet, England is going to be leading the defense while the Americans are just over there doing whatever? This is why the Game of Thrones creators shouldn't be allowed in the industry.

Best I can do w/ DLAA on. With DLSS/FSR on instead:
"Custom" because you have to change the frame threshold from 60 to always on for DLSS to turn on.

Trying to adjust to one peddle style driving vehicles is a fun little challenge. I can see why lyft and uber amateurs *** it up for everyone else without practicing enough beforehand lol

I was thinking about this today, but I kinda already drive like that even without that feature. Braking without regeneration is a pure loss of energy, so I try to drive (my gas-powered car) as smoothly as possible, usually only stepping on the brake pedal when I'm coming to a complete stop or someone around me does something stupid. I've even figured out how to avoid braking at 4-way stops until I'm first in line.
It's more fuel-efficient by a huge margin, it's easier on our underfunded roads, and it's a smoother ride for me and my passengers. Win-win~

When I google "Thompson to winnipeg EV" the only review is a guy saying "the 8 hour normal trip took 30 hrs since I had to take a shitty roundabout way to get there going through the pas and up around the west side of the province to have enough charger spots to make it" lol so hopefully the half way point will have some sort of supercharger eventually with the grand rapids reserve making bank on people like me going home to visit family or bringing a car north.
But I do like that we finally have a vehicle class that performs best at stop and go city driving instead of highway driving like historically, since that is 99% of my day to day and tired of buying something claiming 40 mpg but its only at exactly perfect highway speeds with 8 hours of zero acceleration.

The Canadians behind you are far more polite than the Americans behind me. I mean, it's not like I like a total dingus when I'm trying to be smart about energy-efficiency. I don't have like 18 car lengths between me and the person in front of me, nor do I drive under the speed limit. I just predict in advance when I need to start slowing down, and lift my foot off of the accelerator earlier than some people do.
The constant stop-and-go of someone slamming on their brakes every 2 seconds because they can't match the speed of the vehicle in front of them is 100x more infurating than being the person who figures out the average speed of said person and just does that all the time.

Man, I'm so *** tired of selling stuff.
It's such a pain in the ***. Ebay takes 20% shipping eats 20% and tax on top, or deal with mouth breathers, get jewed to half price anyway on facebook or craigslist.
Why *** bother just throw it the *** away. Buy it used? $100. Try to sell it used. one *** dollar, best offer.
By Josiahafk 2024-04-15 13:13:43
Can you just sell on facebook marketplace locally to lower costs?

Short answer; no you get *** either way
Just choose your flavor. Bent over by fees or berated with the dumbest *** questions imaginable.
The picture, clearly visible, the first thing you see, blue.
"Is it red?" Like *** christ. If i could add a 25c fee per stupid *** question I wouldn't even have to sell it.

I agree with you. The people behind me don't. They get angry if I coast to a red light. They like the floor the gas then floor the brakes routine and expect that everyone else likes it as well.

Coasting to a red light is considered disruption of flow traffic if you do it from too far away or if the light turns green before you arrive at it Chanti, not sure if your state is an anal one about this though
Because you are actively not going the speed of traffic or the near the speed limit and your decision has now stopped other drivers from utilizing the green light etc

Just RMA'ed my Meta Quest 3 because one of the lenses was scratched badly (Stuffing it in my bag was a bad idea). I got nonprescription lenses to put on them once I get the replacement so it doesn't happen again.

They should teach in Driver's Ed that driving smoothly saves on gas money, not that it's safer. No one on the road gives a crap about money, but if you give them a selfish goal, they'll pay more attention to it.
I was trying to explain to someone the physics behind it, and they completely dismissed it. That person drove with one foot on each pedal, tapping the brake to maintain the speed limit instead of simply letting off the gas. Meanwhile my seatbelt was the only thing keeping me from flopping around like a fish in the passenger seat.

lol. I want to see what it looks like with the gfx update, but if it's the same 123 button mashing *** it's been up 'til now, then yeah, I'll beat the story then unsub. The combat just isn't compelling enough to hold my interest. The lack of variation in gear sets (lolmateria) ultimately doesn't matter. It's all about the weekly linear gear progression to highest ilvl, probably the most boring gearing system ever.
I could go on but this isn't a "*** about XIV" thread :)

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
