Wait, so how does that work for games that store saves in ‘c:\users%user%\my documents’ and stuff? That’s why I assumed they’d also need a separate user account on the pc.

If that was the issue then doing two separate user accounts on the PC, then having a primary steam account (the existing one with all the games) and a secondary new one, and putting them into a Steam family together just like the person I replied to said would be functionally equivalent to yall having two separate PCs with your own steam accounts when it comes to saves and steam achievements and stuff, but you only need to buy and install the game once. It’ll also let you have separate config files so if one person like controls bound one way and the other another you’re not having to rebind each time yall swap who is playing and everything.

Edit - I, as an adult, took shrooms then accidentally overwrote my dad’s Skyrim save file on his PS3 back in the day and I felt terrible about it :/. I totally understand how annoying save handling can be.

What games have you played that prompted the complaint you brought up regarding sight reading? I’m the same way, and sometimes I find I have to turn subtitles off because I want to actually enjoy the voice acting instead of skipping through everything. The Witcher 3 was especially hard for me in this regard, along with Baldour’s Gate 3. I just started Clair Obscur the other day, and I’m really enjoying the way they subtitle each line out into pretty short chunks because I’ve found I’m much better able to actually listen to the dialogue with their way.

I’m trying to think of a game I’ve played where I have the opposite problem, the one you’re describing where you can’t skip dialogue sections, and I’m coming up blank. Not trying to say you’re wrong, I’m just really curious at this point. I mostly play RPGs and online FPS games, maybe thats part of why I can’t think of an example?

I had to force the PS5 glyphs by creating a Game.ini file and inserting the appropriate lines to get the ps instead of Xbox button glyphs for my ds4 in Clair obscur the other day. It was definitely annoying.

Thanks to searching for a solution to that I found a mod to remove the abysmal sharpening, uncap cutscene frame rate, and remove pillar boxes on my 21:9 display though, so it all worked out.

Since they just have the one pc, they should be able to just make a second user on the pc then sign in to the single steam account. The new user won’t have any save files in the local user directories, so the game gets launched and you’ll only see the “second” set of saves. No idea how this would work with cloud saves on the steam side though.

Yes it means those domains can only been resolved though their DNS servers.

The first time I saw it used in person was by a friend in a group of us all mid shroom trip. Sensory overload is an understatement.

I truly don’t understand why ParrotOS was created when Kali already existed. I guess HTB didn’t want to (or couldn’t get a license to) run Kali in browser VM’s since it’s maintained by their competitor? Idk.

Ah, thank you!

Wait is Antwoord the same meaning in Afrikaans? Does the name of the band Die Antwoord literally mean The Subtraction?

The numbers in the equation and their totals are completely irrelevant to the order you perform the operations.

I don’t think it’s an issue of “being bad with numbers”, I think the issue is not understanding the logic or being able to understand the bottom up type of thinking or something.

He’s glazing Bungie so hard I thought he was an actual Bungie employee lol. Bro’s crashing all the way tf out, he might need some meds or therapy or something.

That’s fair for sure.

That works too. I guess compared to a drive in a NAS, which had its own parity and aren’t sitting stationary on a shelf, that are replaced as they start reporting SMART failures or whatever.

I largely agree with you. I don’t include my pirated media in my cloud backups, both because as you said it’s easily recoverable and I’m not about to pay for 10’s of Terabytes of cloud storage lol. The only redundancy I have for them is the fact that they’re stored on a RAID array vs just being on single drive. It’s just personal records and documents, photos, and personal code that I have backed up into the cloud.

As an aside, I’m kind of confused as to how you were able to redownload all your media faster than copying it over from one NAS to another. I have my NAS connected to my network with a 10Gbps fiber spf+ module and only have 1Gbps from my ISP, so I can copy 10x faster than I could just download. Even if you had the nas on 1Gbps surely copying would be faster, or at least not slower than, downloading, especially when considering the overhead of unpacking, parity checking, etc right?

And that’s with me thinking about all this with Usenet, which has always consistently maxed out my available download bandwidth. My experience with torrents is that it’s much less consistent with fully utilizing all my available download bandwidth just bc it’s more reliant on the seeders upload rate caps.

At the end of the day it really doesn’t matter i guess.

Nothing really, but the lifespan of burned BD’s could mean you don’t have access to your data in the future.

If you care about local data preservation and you’re storing remuxes you should probably be storing them on a nas, or really just on a raid array. This allows for error correction due to the parity stripes and everything, and provided tolerance for drive failure.

If you were really serious about it, you’d want a mirrored nas offsite, or you’d push encrypted backups to cloud storage or something. But if you care about storing data as long term as possible you absolutely should not be storing the stuff on a single ssd or external drive or anything.

So you played the technical test and not just the server slam?

Did you try it by buying it and then refunding? Or do you mean you played the server slam a few weeks ago?

Unless people have been playing an insane amount since release, I don’t think anyone’s really going out into a raid with the equivalent of late wipe geared up Tarkov equipment. I’ve barely seen anyone tossing out wolfpacks, I haven’t seen anyone using a hullcracker or an equalizer, and I haven’t taking any damage from a bettina yet. And has anyone seen a Jupiter in game?

All in all I agree with you though, this definitely is t Tarkov, and the people who are stressed are probably pretty new to the whole extraction shooter thing. I was running some raids with a finals friend and an old Tarkov mate, and we were just vibing dude. Super chill. And yeah anything I go in with right now I can pretty easily recraft in an instant. The tiered crafting mechanics seem way more intuitive than in Tarkov. I really like how the damage is governed by the weapon, not the bullet type. Losing a gun might sting for a second, but at least I’m not micromanaging my ap rounds and shit. Or holy fuck I forgot about this, stacking mags with ap at the top and staggering as you get through the 30. Although putting tracers as the last 5 like I did irl was always fun.
