Where I work we often see tricolored bats. They’re just the cutest lil’ nuggets, killing off the local mosquitos. You go, wee nugget of the sky.

Ey, I guess it’s a breath of fresh air compared to mostly seeing support posts here.

No, it’s corny! She’s always cracking puns and one liners, that Cathy.

FUCK

IT WASN’T.

I didn’t realize the cracked corn potential of my joke!

Aw man, I’ve honestly forgotten how much I’d enjoyed KenM from the other realm.

Edit: okay I just realized this was on the wrong post. Fuk

Ja

Edit: fuck my original comment was meant for a different post lol

I will say on the picky eating habit, that can be a common behavior seen in autistic folks. With me my picky eating stems from texture - if a food feels weird in my mouth I get nasty gag reflex or vomit. Doesn’t matter how often I try, there’s foods and ingredients that, if I chew on it, I will vomit. It fucking sucks. I have to swallow my edibles whole with water cause most gummies make me vomit if I chew them.

Obviously not all picky eating habits are autism related, but myself and the other autistic picky eaters I know are just as frustrated, if not more, about having those habits.

Being stuck on music though, that I can understand. Even with me having my comfort zones, it’s always an occasion worth celebrating when I find an artist or album that absolutely SLAPS me silly from how rad it is.

Never tried myself, but I’ve two sets of pals that are in poly relationships. The best advice they gave my curious mind on the topic is “If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no.” I’m still curious about trying some time, but it’s certainly not a “hell yes” for me.

LucasWaffyWaf ,

I ain’t gonna call them mediocre myself, and The Wall means a lot to me personally with my own life journey, but there’s absolutely better, more musically interesting prog rock groups out there than Pink Floyd.

Doom 2016 was made by id Software, owned by Bethesda.

LucasWaffyWaf OP ,

Brand new from the shop, bought for this build after I screwed a few traces or something on the previous board and it stopped recognizing my RAM sticks.

LucasWaffyWaf OP ,

FINALLY had a look at this.

Admittedly, I haven’t checked the GPU temps until now, but when I read your suggestion the GPU could be overheating I figured I’d try moving it to a different PCIe slot since it’s currently JUST below the CPU’s massive heatsink. That won’t work cause the only other PCIe slot on the motherboard is right above the PSU, and there’s headers needing power, with the cables providing said power being right against the GPU where it’d possibly block the fans.

HOWEVER, I did notice a switch labeled BIOS OC/SILENT. Just to test the waters, I flipped that and did some light testing. Time is still a touch limited here so my testing hasn’t been extensive, but I collected as much info as I could. Figured I’d be thorough, grabbed CPU, GPU, and SSD temperatures.

Deep Rock Galactic: Before it would idle ingame during a match at around the high 60s, low 70s for CPU temps. Typically it’d blue screen the computer within 5 minutes. That was last tested maybe two, three months ago?

Just half an hour ago after my most current testing) CPU: Averaged 61 C, recorded max of 76 C GPU: Averaged at 50 C, recorded max of 52 SSD: Averaged at 38 C, which was also its recorded max. Tested for 2 minutes in the lobby area, 10 ingame with a swarm. No crash Overall, cooler CPU temps than the last few tests I had done, without any crashing. Needs more testing for crashes, however, to be thorough.

Helldivers 2: Before I flipped the switch, it never crashed during a match. It ran damn hot, around 70-75 C for the CPU, but never crashed ingame. However, when I’d close the game it’d blue screen after reaching Windows more often than not - Additional detail, sometimes it’d KEEP crashing after logging back in unless I hold the power button down and reset it that way.

After flipping the switch I hopped into the game, loaded up a quick match against bots, let that run for a few minutes.

Idling in the lobby: CPU: 72.5 C GPU: 59 C SSD: 41 C

Ingame: CPU Averages at 71, hit a max of 83.4 while loading into the game (CPU’s never ran that hot, let alone in this game) GPU averaging around 61 degrees, max of 66 SSD averaged at 43 both idling and max ingame temp. Crashed on closing the game, couldn’t see the temp monitor in time before it crashed. Had to hold the power switch for 6 seconds cause it kept crashing while attempting a normal reboot.

If a solution can be figured out to fix this without reinstalling the OS again, that would be ideal. I should be able to flash a Linux install to a spare flash drive and run it live off the drive to test the hardware further. I am open to using Linux, but have software I use that isn’t Linux compatible either natively nor with my efforts in making it work in Wine before.

LucasWaffyWaf OP ,

Haven’t yet had a go at updating the mobo, time and energy have both been limited, but I’ll look into this when I can and give a further reply once I have a go at it and get results.

PSU is an EVGA 1000 watt model, the only other part of the build that isn’t brand new. Bought for a build I made in 2019, but hasn’t given me any issues whatsoever. I did forget to mention this in the post’s body, that’s my B.

Storage was bought brand new for this build, a Samsung 2 TB SSD of sorts, exact model name escapes me. I did do some testing earlier today specifically for GPU and SSD temps, and the SSD never hit above 43 C.

LucasWaffyWaf ,

Lessee…

First phone was a red Samsung feature with a feature phone around 2009, 2010 or so.

First computer of my own was an old IBM thing. Don’t remember the model, but it was just a simple black tower with a 16:10 monitor. 2 gigs RAM, 32gb hard drive, and a Pentium 4! It was too shit to render flashlights in HL2 Deathmatch but I played shit tons of that on it. Once it got a GPU and a 500 gig drive a while after, I clocked soooo many hours playing gmod and classic Doom on it as a kid.

Last time a recruiter harassed me via text he tried to convince me of all the kickass benefits and fun of being in the military. Straight up just told him “Dude, if you put a gun in my hand, you’re going to be responsible for a suicide. Not happening.” For some reason he never replied.

LucasWaffyWaf , (edited )

When somebody contacts me out of the blue without my input, tries to sign me up to get murdered for the benefit of the military industrial complex, and reads “No, I’m not interested” as “tell me more,” I become less likely to be as polite about matters. No means No, and if you keep pushing I’m gonna be as blunt as I need to be.

Does wb get any money from sales of adult swim published games on steam?

I have an urge to buy some of them on steam before they get delisted but don’t want to give any money to wb in the process. The way that apparently devs could just leave or sell/give away the game on other platforms made me think maybe wb doesn’t get a cut of every sale. Does anyone know that for certain?

LucasWaffyWaf ,

Not for long. Iirc they’re planning on having them removed for purchase for good.

I often buy CDs from used media shops to rip the music in FLAC format to add to my digital collection!

LucasWaffyWaf ,

Sexuality in general is best seen as a spectrum, and that even applies to asexuality. I’ve met folks who only find sexual attraction in people they are intimately familiar with (can’t whack the nasty with any random people, they gotta trust and be comfortable and familiar with a partner). Others have a complete lack of sexual interest and arousal. I, myself, do have an active libido, but no actual interest in sex itself thanks to bad events in my past.

LucasWaffyWaf ,

I haven’t been on a date in such a long time, so I’m afraid I can’t be much help here.

LucasWaffyWaf ,

We have genuine, honest to God miracle super computers, and we use them to look at cats online. God bless our species.

I know Tom Scott was able to buy one brand new on Amazon a few years back.

Link to him talking about it.

Just imagine, the citizens of Fallout and the Elder Scrolls likely don’t bathe nearly as often as we’d want them. Just imagine how badly Belethor must smell of rotten cheese, or the amount of piss you’d find on raiders and the shit in their pants when they die.

Every time I get one of those from Telegram I always report it stating that nobody asked for it and that it’s utterly unnecessary for a messenger app.

Unreal 2: The Awakening

I never played the first one as a kid, but my little brother found a used copy of its sequel for the Xbox while in town with mom once. I was like, 9 years old at the time, and the game blew my dang mind! Big over the top first person action with all these cool looking guns, shooting these weird giggly aliens, their bodybuilding handler aliens, buncha dudes in power armor, all while on a big journey across space visiting many different worlds, it was so sick for me at the time!

Much later, I finally checked out the first game on PC and uh. Yeah. Yeeaaah Unreal 2 is kind of an insult to how majestic the first game was.

Unreal 2 is a bad game in comparison, and I will admit it! It’s slower, the enemies are mostly boring to fight compared to the Skaarj in the first game, the weapons are bog standard with little that makes them stand out, it very much suffered from “We can do Halo, too!” The story is kinda lame, the levels aren’t the most interesting to play in, and most importantly: It lacks that sense of adventure and wonder the first game was loaded with.

But man, when I was a kid? It was god damn cinematic to me.

LucasWaffyWaf ,

The first one I worked at has VOIP phones on the trails in case of emergencies, and you can easily hop on it during a tour. If you’ve ever been in the southeast US you’ve probably seen signs advertising the waterfall cave.

… A waterfall that’s pumped, mind.

I still hold that this is one of the pinnacle videos of his. Outstanding in the pacing, writing, jokes, production.

Not quite OnlyFans, but when you have specific interests, you gotta find specific folks with skills tailored towards those interests.

Source: Close buddy of mine is a furry fetish artist. Not suspiciously wealthy, but he’s full time drawing raptor asses.

LucasWaffyWaf ,

Furry is just the kinda general term for the whole fandom. If you wanna refer to a furry or a scalie character without worrying about calling a scaly fella furry, anthro works plenty fine.

Also they most likely had feathers, which is rad as shit in my books.

LucasWaffyWaf ,

Listen mate, when a furry comes up to ya and says “Here’s three hundred bucks, draw me a picture of a cybernetic shark gal with huuuuumongous life-ruining tits,” you say “How big ya want 'em?”

LucasWaffyWaf ,

Oh nah, I legitimately have the handwriting skills of a five year old xD

A 7 leaf clover must be extra lucky.

Jeez, and I thought my scoliosis was gnarly.

(day 6 of being largely bedridden from pain, no clue where this flare up came from D:)

Hell, the Vatican prolly wants him as deacon, at least.

From what I read on Steam: Three servers, 64 players max each. Embarrassingly miniscule for one of the best selling, best received Star Wars games of its time, if not of all time. You’d expect more than 192 people would buy your game on launch, especially something this big.

LucasWaffyWaf ,

wat

LucasWaffyWaf ,

I haven’t actively followed their stuff much at all, especially in the last many years, but this one hurts me. Red VS Blue was such a big part of my childhood into my teenage years, with the first ten seasons having gotten more rewatches by me than any other show out there.

Starting to feel those Blood Gulch Blues. Might marathon the whole series, myself.

LucasWaffyWaf ,

Were the seasons past 10 any worth watching? I’d heard some mixed views on the latter seasons, and season 10 ends SO strongly with such a good sense of closure to it, it was genuinely confusing to me when I heard they dropped an 11th season.

LucasWaffyWaf ,

Yeah I can’t deny that seasons 6 and 7 were a drag, especially 6. Not as much comedy and it’s overall dryer, but I did appreciate the effort put into them trying to do some actual story telling and world building. One COULD argue the necessity of a goofy internet comedy show having world building, but for me I liked the story enough that I was able to push through the dryness.

Season 8 held much of that focus on story, but made up for it with CGI action scenes that, at least when I last saw them at a younger age, were rad as fuck. They prolly haven’t aged heaps well, but hey, coming from an internet comedy show about a buncha moronic dorks in Halo, it was unexpected and WELL appreciated. Can’t remember how the comedy held up given that it’s been at least a decade since I last saw it, unfortunately.

Seasons 9 and 10 were genuinely pretty well written and enjoyable, in my memory! Lots more of those CGI action scenes, cut in between story bits with the Freelancer project and goofy happenings with the main cast. Season 10 especially had an impact on me at the time, and to this day I still refuse to tell my loved ones goodbye. It’s too final, too certain.

Never saw anything past that. Season 10’s ending was open ended for the Blood Gulch crew, but all the big story beats they’d worked towards over the years had been given the closure they needed. Just felt odd to me that they took that closure and just, kept going. Maybe I’ll finally check the later seasons out.

Whether or not you’d enjoy it I can’t say, I don’t know your preferences and it’s been SO long since I’d last touched the series. I think I’m gonna go marathon the series with a buddy of mine, go on one final trip to Blood Gulch and give a large part of my childhood that kinda closure.

LucasWaffyWaf ,

Gonna try grabbing a buddy and marathoning through the series. I’ve gushed in another comment, but the series meant a lot to me at a younger age during happier times. Maybe now’s as good a time as any to get some closure and finish watching it all.

LucasWaffyWaf ,

American, actually! I’m just real bad about coopting language from folks elsewhere and I know an Aussie and work with a kiwi lol

LucasWaffyWaf ,

Ey, Aussies have SUCH a fucking art with their slang.

If the order of events were different, what might we be calling smartphones?

I had this shower thought earlier and I actually wanted to post it in that community. The name I came up with was SmartWalkman, but later I realized that Walkman is Sony specific, so I doubt other companies would’ve gone for that name, but I didn’t want to let this shower thought slip so here I am now asking you guys.

LucasWaffyWaf , (edited )

Definitely PDA. Before we had modern smartphones folks would carry a cell phone and separate PDA which had computer functionalities. I’ve always said they were smartphones with half the smart and none of the phone.

Common apps included calculators, calendars, to do lists, notepads, clocks with alarms, task lists with reminders, PDF readers, word processors, later ones could even double as mp3 players and portable video players. There were even games made for them, both official and homebrew. My Windows PDAs have a bootleg port of XCOM: UFO Defense on them, which works brilliantly! There’s also ports of Space Trader, if you want to take Elite with ya in your pocket.

PDAs evolved into smartphones as companies started including cellular tech inside PalmOS and Windows Mobile PDAs with devices like the Palm Treo and HTC Apache running PDA OSes with cellular connectivity. Once the iPhone came out though basically everything changed. They weren’t the first, but they released a slick, buttery smooth device using a much better type of touch screen, with heaps of built in flash memory, a vibrant high res screen, and of course, iTunes. I own a PDA from the same year, not lower end but kinda middle of the road. 128 mb of usable flash memory, 64 mbs of RAM, a 240x320 resolution 16 bit color resistive touch screen (pressure sensitive, like the DS), a full sized SD card slot which can take up to 2 gigs of additional storage, wifi, Bluetooth, and IRDa. Required a stylus for usage. Versus the iPhone, which had anywhere from 4 gigs to 16 gigs of built in storage, 128 mb of RAM, a 480x320 resolution 18 bit color capacitive touch screen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and multi-touch functionality on the screen. No stylus needed, either.
