oh you paid them back right?

I tried, but was unable to. Very quickly via a text as well. I just got written off.

You mean the whole group didnt bring their wallet? Because that sounds like a setup

Bar was cash only. Was uninformed. Was the only one who didn't bring cash, had to hit the ATM for cash. It was broken, charged me for money I didn't receive, bartender thought I was scamming them, friends backed him up instead of me. They got butthurt, paid for my tab, and then pretty much cut me off. That night I got the model # of the ATM, called my bank, they checked it out, got my money back a week or two later.

so how did you end up paying your tab?

My 'friends' angrily covered it. This was before the time of venmo/cashapp/zelle.

I've spent about $20 on Dead by Daylight over the years.

Spent a little more than that for some ship customization in Elite: Dangerous before the game imploded.

That's about it, tbh.

No, but I was sort of that person one time in my life and it still haunts me.

I was doing pretty bad financially. Not bad enough to not be able to go out and have dinner/drinks with my friend, but no wiggle room. Four friends and myself hung out at a bar and all ran up very respectful, normal tabs. Mine was about $60. I was invited and somehow none of the party knew it was cash only, so my plan to use a card failed spectacularly. Literally everyone but me was carrying cash, but luckily there was an ATM in the bar.

I ran my card alone to withdraw $80. The machine said transaction failed. No big deal, I must have fat-fingered my pin. I run it again and it says transaction failed. I look at my bank account, which has now been hit for $160, and no cash is in my hands.

Bartender didn't believe me, friends didn't believe me, they basically publically shamed me for being broke, I never hung out with any of them again.

I got my money back a week later with the ATM audit came back with a belt error and it had excess cash in it vs the queried deposits.

Tracking all the twitter posts and news articles I've seen this year, our official tally is...

Resident Evil 1 Remake (Rumored)
Resident Evil 9 (Open World)
Resident Evil 9 (Leon, linear campaign)
Resident Evil 5 Remake
Resident Evil: CV Remake
Resident Evil 0 Remake

lol

I've never 100%'d a game in my life.

The bad ones are big guy, big man, etc. Especially from another dude, and especially if you're overweight. It's the only one of the "chiefs, boss, bros, mans, etc" I'd stop and second guess their intentions/mannerisms.

Edit: Also need to check when you're called big brother by anybody.

And that is game for me.

Any opinions on the series for someone who's never played one?

You get to customize, RP, and fall in love with your army dudes before they're mulched. Decent sense of progression on the campaign with base building, a tech tree, leveling up skill trees on soldiers and managing their gear. The difficulty curve is odd, and it definitely pulls the percentages out of its ass, but it's fun.

Tebow wasn't very talented, Caitlin is a generational athlete. Caitlin actually has a ton of haters and creeps talking about her online that I see. In a way she reminds me of a (trophyless) Tom Brady archetype. Competitive, focused on the game, gets heated with bad teammates, is static with media interviews, has unreal talent.

This is going to sound nuts but I had this same exact issue two years ago making a B550, 5800x, 32GB build for a friend. One stick worked, two didn't, four never did, was tearing my hair out.

The issue was the CPU. Namely, the CPU itself was pulled out of the socket (sadly extremely common for AM4) by the cooler and was making partial/incorrect contact and thus died in the crib whenever the DRAM bus was over one stick.

I took the cooler off, replaced the paste, seated it again and very gently screwed one rotation per screw at a time until it was seated. Let it sit level for about 10m, propped it back up on its base, and was good to go.

Edit: So try to take the CPU cooler off and reinstall it. If the CPU is stuck to the bottom of the damn thing, you've replicated my white whale problem.

Other funny methods to check:

1: Are all the motherboard grounding screws in w/ washers?
2: Do you have a mechanical drive whatsoever? HDD/ SHDD? Them dying can lead to this problem.

Final Edit: You're completely wrong about mixing sticks, bud. Make sure your XMP profile is synced up so that both are receiving the (weaker) sticks timings, and if either of them run at different voltages I'd remove the one immediately. If one is 24-24-24-13 and one is 20-20-20-10, and one is 1.4v and one is 1.5v, and one is 3200 and one is 2600, you're going to run into so many problems.

What's going on with the supreme court?

Aldis and a few other chains have training in the last year or two to be as fast as humanly possible. I was blown away last time I was in Trader Joe's because I like to bag my own groceries.

It's basically torture for them, this case sounds like a case of malicious compliance and he was fed up with it/his job and pushed the speed to the limit to make a point. Too bad no one will listen and he'll get fired. After all, he did throw a ladies food on the floor to make his issue known.

I had to stop when got to the diaper like not doing this with anything much less weed killer is going to damage your junk.

Imagine being a grown ass man not knowing your skin absorbs things and has pours lol.

The correct answer is Doom Guy. He's so OP he uses guns to give demons a chance.

Are you looking into a balance transfer to manage your debt? If so, just skip to the end of the line and get a consolidation loan. Banks are handing them out like candy RN but it won't last forever due to the state of things.

0% APR cards have the catch of having sometimes enormous balance transfer fees, ranging from 3% of your total or more. That can effectively wipe out the efficacy of the APR, because it can pile on a tremendous amount of debt you didn't have previously.

Moderate politics are dead, because you're secretly a terrible person, according to societal standards.

Also try calling exotic vets, they sometimes layover hurt unusual animals until proper rescue places open up. Edit: I did this when a groundhog was fucked up in my yard the other year. Poor guy wasn't visibily injured, but he was ass-first out of his hole and just struggling to live/eat/drink and was "sneezing."

Rescue services were closed, called an exotic vet, some nice assistant came and scooped him up.

DMC5 the entire campaign, it's ass. Tower is where it's at.

My complaint is a hot take but all sandboxes are boring and the same, especially with the homogenized engines people use these days. Dynamic NPC schedules, faction wars, territory stuff, and any other player agency in a dynamic "world" is long, long gone. The Sony/Ubisoft model of checking off boxes and exploring static biomes with fixed enemy spawns is like pulling teeth for me gaming wise. I love linear, short, easy to knock out titles. Been having a blast with Senua 2, Alan Wake 2, and the Resident Evil remakes as an example. I put like six hours into Elden Ring and just went back to playing Dark Souls 3.

That quickly got horrifying. So he basically soaked his situation in herbicide, sealed it in with an expensive diaper, for multiple days? To do what? Cure what he thought was an STD that an anonymous clinic visit and prescription could clear up?

I skipped around but his entire body shut down piece by piece and this dude died with a violently shaking, spazzing heart and lungs rotted from the inside out.

Yeah, it doesn't always pay off though. I have Henry Rollins syndrome of being obsessively psychopathic tier nice in professional/new/strange environments.

Warhammer 40k universe.

Welp, I'm turbodead.

Aslong as i can turn it off fine otherwise fuck you ms

Turning off Telemetry in W11 isn't even really turning it off. Even if you can silence the new AI, I doubt it stops it from accomplishing it's system-root goals of snooping out your data.

I switched to Linux two years ago and haven't looked back once. Absolutely bugnuts what Windows is like these days, and sadly, the casual end-user dgaf.

Fandom sucks, DToast sucks, let's see what happens.

i dont like the idea of the xenomoprhs being artificially created period no matter who did it

It made complete sense in the original scripts and was actually quite eerie. Master Geneticists make an oops, big time, is so much better than psychopathic robot fucks around and accidentally makes the damn things.

Prometheus had a pretty damn cool OG script and the way they watered it down was crazy

Ridley Scott saying he's getting old and on with life, and wanting to wrap up his Alien canon with some awesome but bugnuts lore was something I was 200% on board with. The prometheus rewrites are abysmal, and he didn't even have the balls to stand by his thrice-rewritten story in the sequel he directed.

In short he chickened out twice and instead made two hazy, inconclusive, garbage movies because he couldn't commit to his vision.

The Master. The "true" ending is some of my favorite dialog in a game.

Leave now... leave while you still have hope.

Have you been following any particular blender tutorials? Those sculpts look quite good for just mucking about. Nicely done.

Discerning between fake or real supernatural shit is bugnuts as a case point. What a timeline. Too bad it'll be a complete facade of blanket foreign policy and situational protocols that will never, ever come into effect.

Almost all spiders are scared to holy hell of you. Bites in sleep happen during unfortunate timing of snoring, rolling over, or startling the thing.

I imagine if you try to kill it, and it escapes, it fucks off.

Why not Rose?

The DLC put that to rest, without spoilers, and Capcom has been distancing from Ethan & Family.

I remember his new English VA being ecstatic on twitter and saying he got a huge contract to voice Leon for a good amount of time. Makes sense he'd be attached to the series for another game or two.

I wish it was me, but the story applies to both my parents. Two times each.

They allowed themselves to get ripped off four times in a row across my life with trade-ins for really crappy, meme cars (they're contrarians, and no nothing about cars) so they actually bought the Aztec, a Saturn, a PT Cruiser...

Anyway, to get to the point, I know by seeing the paperwork many years later that they only got a few thousand /max/ for trading in four perfectly acceptable vehicles over the years instead of giving a single one to their kids. Myself and all my siblings struggled to buy our first cars as teenagers with zero help, meanwhile my parents are trading in 3-4 year old Toyotas at the time for $900 towards some new meme car they wanted.

I remember one time my sister crying that she'd hand my dad $1200 on the spot when they were talking about buying a PT Cruiser, and were talking at the dinner table about how amazing trading in the car (second at this point) was going to be. They'd barely need to pay anything towards the PT Cruiser, and they'd make $1200 cash back! No amount of logic could explain to them that the $1200 was the /only/ thing they were getting on the trade ins, and being ripped off every time.

Xbox game pass makes easy for me to safe money.

Yeah, gamepass seems awesome tbh. I know it's on PC but I haven't really looked into it too much though.

I haven't paid full price or bought a game on release in around... yikes. A decade?

Deals on PC games are everywhere, all the time. I haven't had a console since the ps1.

I don't even give a shit about the reputation or rumors around decades of the royal family.

This is the scariest fucking self portrait in history lmao.

It doesn't even look fully cooked lmao. There isn't a particle of seasoning on it, either.

Room temp wet chicken, room temp tortilla, unmelted cheese whiz.

Im pretty satisfied with unity, but Im also not using any third party tools or add-ons. Both to not spend any money on it at this stage and also to learn how to do things myself

its also what I picked to learn a couple years ago and now Im just familiar with it

For sure. How are you approaching the modeling? Using Blender?

It's a bit, guys. It's obviously playing into the toxic/exaggerated/everybody clapped cringe element to it.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


I'm currently not finding a home between godot, unity, or unreal.

Godot is awesome for indie titles, but it's lack of tools or documentation hurts my development pipeline. It's been fun using asperite to make pixel art stuff in games, and it does excel at splitting up those animation sheets for you, but boy is it taxing work.

Unity is nice but last time I took it seriously was ~5 years ago and virtually every penny I spent on the app store is no longer relevant because those prior, 5 star, 1m+ downloaded tools are depreciated.

Unreal is the scariest but easiest of them all. AI assisted everything, Metahuman for characters, flowgraphs (with more AI) to help with programming. Megascan/Bridge/Quixel integration for 4k, AAA, pre-optimized assets ranging from sci-fi to grungy medieval stuff. I made an AAA looking horror scene for my friends to play in like two days but not a literal single pixel was made by my hands, on purpose. The shovelware in the next five years is going to be terrifying and look AAA.

Any lich design on the planet would have been better than Thanos.

I couldn't get around the art style of Spire, but that didn't stop me from putting 20-30 hours into it and completing (pre-heart) runs of 2/3 characters. The combat is engaging and fun, as are the cards. I just happened to like Inscryption... a lot more.

Act 1 of Inscryption with the actual card game has a mode called Kaycee's (sp) that makes it last forever, have more procedural elements and mixed up cards/enemies and some cool map events, btw.

Looks kinda in between UD/The Quarry and The Dark Pictures games in terms of budget.

It is. They've been hyping this up as their B project for /years./ They've been in love with the script, and story, this entire time so either it's studio self-hype or they have something the other cinematic horror games don't.
