I found out about Warframe after playing DarkSector and hearing that the two were related. The reviews seem generally positive with the exception of one massive negative spike.

Is there much in the way of grinding and micro transactions?

Nice to see the article mention the source port

If you owned a pet would you want your partner to know what to do if it starts choking?

It seems more like a job requirement but I feel like it's quite important to me that whoever I date knows first aid.

I imagine someone who hasn't taken a first aid course is still aware of things frequently depicted in movies and TV like how to assist a choking adult or CPR but I feel like it still leaves out a lot.

I can't really recall a lot of media depicting how to treat burns or how to perform first aid on children, cats, and dogs for example so I'm not sure if that would be absorbed to the same degree by cultural osmosis.


Edit: What I meant by my question was if you found out someone you were interested in didn't know first aid and didn't express an interest in it if you'd view it as a negative.

It doesn't necessarily mean you won't date them.

I'm more curious about how important of a factor it would be to people.

I'm not sure why this is being down voted. Do people not care for these kind of questions and want me to delete it?

I like flying around in Grand Theft Auto V in a jet and in first person blowing stuff up and touring armouring around a rainy city in Aircar.

I'm wondering what else is out there. I was thinking about picking up Ace Combat 7. Would this be a good choice?

For example you write with your left hand and open the top of the can with your left hand.

It has the occasional humorous moment and overall was an enjoyable watch. It kept my interest the entire time largely due to it steering clear of too many typical horror tropes and how unpredictable it was.

I have EndeavourOS installed on my X200S. When I power it on it gets past "Welcome to EndeavourOS" but gets stuck around

Starting Bluetooth service...

Or

Starting Network Manager...

I believe it got stuck on a few other spots previously but I can't recall where. The "Drive in use" indicator light stops flashing at this point. At that point the only option as far as I can tell is to press the power button.

I can boot from a USB drive without any issues.

I had updated my computer but I believe I was believe I did a successful reboot after that.

Any suggestions? I can't seem to find a solution online. A lot of the support pages end with them giving up and reinstalling EndeavourOS.


Solution:

My X200S runs Libreboot and apparently that has issues with the current Linux kernel. I created a bootable EndeavourOS USB unlocked the LUKS drive with sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1/unlockedFolder. Mounted it with sudo mount /dev/mapper/unlockedFolder /mnt. Ran arch-chroot /mnt so I could gain access to the OS. Switched to the LTS kernel using sudo pacman -S linux-lts and edited the grub files to add the -lts.

I originally tried just downgrading the kernel but it caused my WiFi not to work.

The whole issue was quite strange because it would freeze at random parts and even successfully boot at times.

Here's a preview from the introduction of the article:

This ended up leading me down a series of wild rabbit holes where I found:

  • Encrypted files which I was able to crack to discover their secrets
  • A gift a dad in Thailand had made for his two and a half year old son, but didn’t want published online
  • Somebody’s email password
  • A secret biography of Chet Baker
  • A file called worm.exe which held quite the surprise
  • A host of extremely random images and files
  • 56 previously unknown Winamp skins hidden inside other Winamp skins!

I haven't installed it or tried it out myself but it is being hosted here on GOG which is neat. Here is an article a bit about why GOG is hosting it.

The Steam version apparently requires the use of this downgrader mod from the Nexus.

You will need the GOTY edition with all the DLC either way.

If you want to see how the mod is several people are already streaming it.

Here is some information from the GOG page:

I miss a lot of the smaller dedicated communities. There were a lot there were essentially mirrored from Reddit but a lot of the userbase disappeared. They are widely federated and posts get votes and comments but there's not a lot of people putting out content.

What I don't miss is the power mods and all the auto mods. They just get tiring.

I feel like airports might not like it considering it would be the one of the first things tourists see but I feel like it be effective against snowbird boomers with extended layovers who are upset the airport lounge chairs aren't positioned next to electrical outlets.

Wikipedia pages for each:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_(2017_video_game)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_(2006_video_game)


It's a bit of an apples and oranges situation but considering the history I'm curious which one people prefer in a situation where you could only have one. I believe 2006 is still considered abandonware with it previously being listed on Steam but being removed when they ran out of keys.

I liked 2017's gameplay but I felt like 2006 was more memorable and unique so I think I'd choose it.

I use the word functional instead of usable or controllable because that's kind of under the umbrella of how they could be implemented.

Both Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 had rail systems you could see moving (the presidential metro and Nuka-Express) opposed to Fallout New Vegas (Camp McCarran's monorail) for example.

I feel like the two major concerns would be how their addition would effect map design and how the engine is going to handle them.

I am curious how this is going to effect the number of active players. I know a lot of people who were trying to get me to play this saying it was here to stay and not a trend like a Lethal Company but I feel like this hurdle might be enough to get them to give up.

I definitely have a low level of tolerance for Russian nesting dolls of accounts and launchers.

I'm honestly surprised they're still updating Java edition

[-] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 256 points 11 months ago

That's nice of them to walk it back. Definitely not something you'd see Reddit do

[-] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 106 points 1 year ago

I've got a stockpile of them

How taxes are dealt with in North America. Just send me how much I owe. Don't have me go through a service to figure it out

It comes down to price. You can buy used ThinkPads and replacement parts for them quite cheap a lot of the time.

It's been a while since I've looked at devices from places like System 76 but if I recall correctly they are still over a thousand dollars when a used ThinkPad T440P for example can be found for around two hundred dollars.

There's a sign that says you aren't allowed on top of the bus terminal because of me.

There was grass on the roof and I was curious how they got a lawnmower up there.
