Our household has gone full in on Plex. Bought an 8 TB hardrive to run the sever off my 10 year old gaming PC. Wife and I have been binging Downton Abbey. Digitized the series off blue-rays from the local local. However the blue-ray set didn’t have the Christmas Specials. My wife did not want to wait til I tracked down the specials. So we started to watch the specials on Amazon Prime Video. The picture encoding was awful. Not to mention all the bloody annoying ads. Not able to stomach the horrible picture quality anymore I hurriedly found a 1080p file and added it to our plex server. It was like night and day. I am not a high definition snob. Honestly I cannot tell the difference between 1080p and 4K. But the fact that I can stream better video quality from my 10 year old PC than through a multi billion dollar company is absurd.

Isn’t this the guy who bashed on Elden Ring players who spam jump r1 attack. And then proceeded an entire play-through with nothing but spamming jump r1 attacks.

What the guy who whipped up fake controversy on DEI in games is actually a huge racist??? Shocking!

2 gets a bad rap. Hitting yourself to increase max health works against yourself in the long run. Many late game monsters do % of max health damage. Characters with inflated max health will struggle more in those battles. I played the game normally with minimal grinding and ran into no issue.

100 percent agree. Recruiters are a waste of oxygen. Back when I was in school I attended this massive recruiting meet and greet. Head hunters from the largest firms in the area attended and talked with the students about career prospects. A recruiter from a big firm was there bragging about her arbitrary strict screening process for resumes. This Karen, a failed elementary school teacher, gloated about how she required a full page cover letter, and a full page resume. There could not be any blank space. She would measure the margins and if not exactly I inch she would throw the applicant in the reject pile. The cover letter would have to be a full page long. If any length less than 1 full page straight to reject pile. However she stated would never actually read the cover letter.

A week later I attended a Q and A with several partners from the biggest firms in the area. They all talked about how they hated absolutely HATED cover letters and bloated resumes. All they looked for was prior experience, grade point average, and whether the applicant is licensed or not. Funny enough the partner from the same firm as the Karen recruiter had a 2 minute rant on why he hated cover letters.

Downloaded it last week. Put a few hours into the game. It’s stellar. Very reminiscent of Total Annihilation. Even has the Big Bertha giant canons that are horribly impractical; yet a blast to fire.

Lyrics from Holiday by Green Day:

“The representative from California has the floor. "Sieg Heil" to the president Gasman. Bombs away is your punishment. Pulverize the Eiffel towers. Who criticize your government.

"Bang! Bang!" goes the broken glass, and Kill all the fags that don't agree. Try to fight fire, setting fire. Is not a way that's meant for me.

Just 'cause (hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!) Just 'cause, because we're outlaws, yeah (hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)“

Green Day has never been really subtle.

Joe Rogan is what happens when people who skip leg day get a podcast.

I live in deep red Utah. A lot of people I know do not vote because they do not see the point. These people, who stem from all political spectrums, believe “republicans will always have control over state and local political offices.”

Anyone got the file to open? I tried using mega but ran into problems.

My wife got me one for Christmas. I like it. My hands are big so the standard joycons feel too small. My only issue is the d-pad isn’t in the best spot. But all in all it’s a comfy grip.

I’ve been running a dnd campaign for my wife’s cousins for the past year. I took a few months due to work getting hectic. But now that things have slowed down I’m excited to get back to GMing again. We have our session zero this Friday. The players ages range from mid teens to mid 20s. And I’m trying to prevent the party from becoming a mob of murder hobos again.

Ah that makes sense. Thanks for the help.

 

Whenever I browse Beehaw I get this weird pop up of image of a keyboard on my phone. Anyone know what this is? Or why it keeps happening? Using safari on iOS.
