AzPsycho,

Just saw this and 3-4 Particle Beam weapons will destroy just about everything you encounter very easily.

AzPsycho,

People are acting like this game is terrible but forget they said the exact same shit about Skyrim, NMS, FO4, and Cyberpunk 2077. After a few updates and some mods no one’s going to be shitting on this game 2-3 years from now.

All of those games are considered great today but you couldn’t visit social media without seeing people complain about any and everything after they launched. I have a couple hundred hours in and I love this game. I haven’t even finished the main story on my first play through.

California workers who cut countertops are dying of an incurable disease (www.latimes.com)

“Nobody uses water,” one man in a Dodgers cap said in Spanish when Maria Cabrera approached, holding flyers about silicosis, an incurable and suffocating disease that has devastated dozens of workers across the state and killed men who have barely reached middle age....

AzPsycho,

I absolutely love the enthusiasm for required regulations in this thread but everyone is missing one critical aspect… illegal workers are probably a huge part of those impacted by this. Many of these “companies” who cut counters work through subcontractors and I bet the majority of these are just a guy with an LLC. I would love to see more numbers on the type of worker/businesses being hit with this illness.

AzPsycho,

This isn’t happening in factories. This is happening in situations where someone is remodeling so none of those guys can afford fancy machinery. They usually cut/fit/sand on site.

AzPsycho,

The battlefield isn’t even being faught on the Ukrainian side using the most cutting edge of Western technology and you want to keep fighting? Holy shit.

AzPsycho,

Did we forget Russia invaded and captured Crimea and then said they had no further desires to expand or wage more war against Ukraine? GTFO

Have you ever been taken into space while attempting to hijack a ship? (lemmy.world)

So my kid was playing and while attempting to hijack a ship it took off into space. Once he killed the crew he was unable to fly the ship due to having too low of a level. Being overburdened he dumped all of his gear and then fast travelled back to his destination. About an hour later he returned to that planet and found the...

AzPsycho,

In my defense he’s probably a bully at school too.

AzPsycho,

On my playthrough I just unlocked the Mantis questline. With the Razorleaf for my combat ship I just jumped around stars and went to any and all POIs that were hostile activity. Got to level 3 really fast like that.

AzPsycho,

The easiest way to get POIs is to buy slates from vendors, pick up tracker missions for combat, and when you scan planets land at the first random place that shows up. Also, it really helps to hail ships and ask.

AzPsycho,

I found some in a misc items for sale at a couple of different places. Maybe I sold them? IDK but they weren’t in the buy back part.

[Spoilers] Skyrim references?

Given that the quest turns out to be a joke that they do on newbies, to me it kinda also feels like they are pulling a joke on the player. Like, it first looks like there is some magic item that the player has to retrieve, like one would do in Skyrim. But then it turns out like haha it’s just a joke, did you really think there...

AzPsycho,

There’s this moment… m.twitch.tv/videos/1921205182

AzPsycho,

Dresden would approve.

AzPsycho,

Agreed. It was an amazing bit of fan service that was executed in a way that didn’t t make it feel cheap or meaningless.

AzPsycho,

I am the lead on a team of 5 and technically we have an on call rotation but it is rarely used. In the last 3 years I have been called after hours a total of 4 times and TBH it was usually due to an AWS outage which resulted in us saying well let’s see how long it takes for them to o restore services and then someone run a safety check to make sure shit is normal.

For that I make $120k, have unlimited PTO, and work from home.

AzPsycho,

It worked for The last of Us and Spiderman. Optimization through exclusivity allows the publishers to spend less time chasing down random bugs and rendering issues.

AzPsycho,

Came to say this. I enjoy hunting and outdoor activities so I have a multitude of gear. What I use depends on where I am going, who is going with me, and what activities we plan on doing. Such as:

  1. 30ft Toy Hauler Camper
  2. UTV and flatbed trailer
  3. Truck bed Tent
  4. Tents of various sizes and various types of climates
  5. Sleeping bags for various climates
  6. Hiking/Hunting clothes and shoes for various climates
  7. Binos and Spotting scopes of various styles
  8. Backpacks… So many backpacks
  9. Rifles of various calibers for hunting different game and environments and various fishing poles
  10. Lifejackets, paddle boards, and kayaks
AzPsycho,

One of the best ship to ship combat sequences ever made.

AzPsycho,

I know 2 people who wrote COBOL code for some major healthcare systems a long time ago and they came out of retirement about 5 years ago to update/convert that code. They made six figure salaries working from home to update that code.

Braga: ‘I still cringe when I hear it.’ Apparently, it was a long road to the franchise’s most despised title music (www.slashfilm.com)

Working from the oral history in The Five Year Mission: The next 25 years, this is a fascinating deep dive that answers the question “How did a recycled cover of a 1998 song written for Rod Stewart, ‘Where My Heart Will Take Me’ aka ‘Faith of the Heart’ become the title music for Enterprise?”...

AzPsycho,

To quote the great Nicholas Meyer (Director of Wrath of Khan) who spoke on this topic:

“Roddenberry had his own utopian vision about the perfectibility of man, and I never really believed that. And I don’t think the show demonstrates that. I think it is about gunboat diplomacy. In the final analysis, the Enterprise fires. They’re always shooting and bringing civilization, and coming to worlds where they don’t approve of tyrannical enterprises – no pun intended – and they substitute their own quote unquote enlightened version of how society is supposed to work, which is essentially American.”

AzPsycho,

When I worked as a IT Tech at a University years ago we had a lot of MacOS users who believed they could just pick it up and use it like their iPhone. It was absurd how well their marketing worked because those users either forced themselves to learn it or dropped it and went back to Windows.

I know a lot of iOS users who have iPads and iPhones but still have windows PCs because they don’t have to worry about compatibility issues.

AzPsycho,

I use Windows for work and gaming, MacOS for app development (mostly because I can code for iOS and Android in one environment), and ChromeOS for my daily browsing.

I just enjoy how chrome always works when I need to just browse the internet or buy something online without issue.

AzPsycho,

I think it’s more about how those types of buyers view the manufacturers reliability long term. The man is unhinged and has proven with Twitter that if given the chance he will willingly fuck over users. Imagine giving a bully the ability to limit your driving range or disabling your vehicle on a whim because he decides he doesn’t like you or what your local govt says.

Not saying he would do it but he has proven repeatedly to be unstable enough to believe he could escape punishment for doing it.

AzPsycho,

Those are super easy to fix. Even the Google eraser could fix those easily.

AzPsycho,

Another great episode. The a capella theme song was great too.

AzPsycho,

I love this season. This show has done for me what Discovery didn’t. Made Trek fun or thought provoking when it needs to be while entertaining existing fans and new viewers.

AzPsycho,

100% agree with you. The TOS loyalists are going out of their way to find excuses to hate this show. It’s the best series I have seen since TNG and I am not saying the others were bad. I actually like all of them with the exception of Discovery because it focuses so heavily on one plotline and one character.

This is an ensemble with humor when it needs it and is more true to the heart of Trek than people are giving it credit.

AzPsycho,

This episode was amazing.

AzPsycho,

Well Bears are fucking massive so if they slapped you without claws they still have the ability to break bones and cause other severe injury.

AzPsycho,

I am so excited for this. My two favorite current ST series coming together for what I am sure is some fantastic fan service.

AzPsycho,

What a looney response. This season is fantastic. I think we are watching completely different shows if that’s your take.

AzPsycho,

I said nothing about politics. My stance isn’t changing. This season is just as good as the first. This is classic Trek.

AzPsycho,

The official mobile port is well done. I know it wasn’t always the case but after some past updates I haven’t had any issues with it. I picked it up on Google Play and it was worth the $8 I paid.

AzPsycho,

I wish Wild Arms had an official mobile port. Such a great series with no modern IP usage to take advantage of its cult status.

AzPsycho,

FF6 is such a great game. I saved up and bought both of these games as a kid, lots of late nights irrigating fields and killing rattlesnakes to get those titles. Both titles were great in their own way and I can’t imagine my childhood without them. Another great game was Secret of Evermore.

AzPsycho,

Try Secret of Evermore. The combat is very different but the game allows for two players! One controls the main character and the other can control his pet dog. It’s one of the rare action RPGs of the time.

AzPsycho,

Agreed. SoM was also a classic. I just enjoyed the aesthetic of Evermore and it had a cool dog companion.

HELP NEEDED! Let's put this small Fediverse logo on r/place. (lemmy.world)

EDIT: We’re going to attempt to organize a larger logo and spread the word further around various Fediverse services. I get that a lot of y’all are opposed to visiting over there. I’m pissed too, which is why I spent a lot of my day helping write “Fuck Spez.” I don’t think we’re going to contribute to Reddit’s...

AzPsycho,

Came to say the same. Why are you driving users to their platform at all?

AzPsycho,

I remember that. The Magicians was wild and I loved it.

Reddit seems all doom and gloom on the topic but what about Lemmy? And the future of Star Trek?

I saw someone on Reddit wondering why the community was so sure of Trek going dark again with Paramount not doing so well financially. Seeing the response was unfortunate as most people feel that it might be a bad time for Trek. And I guess it makes sense with the Hollywood strikes as well....

AzPsycho,

SNW and Lower Deck are fucking fantastic. SNW is a true to form traditional Trek show and Lower Decks is funny and diverse enough for those who feel Trek takes itself to seriously.

If Paramount runs afoul of finances I am sure someone will buy the IP rights to at least these. TBH, Strange New Worlds needs to be available on TV and streaming.

AzPsycho,

My cousin is a lobbyist (the shitty insurance kind) and it’s difficult conversing with someone who literally sells out the rest of us in the name of capitalism. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to have a kid on the opposite side of the political spectrum doing a job you feel is dishonest and hoping they do the right thing.

AzPsycho,

I think Strange New Worlds is the best ST in a long long time. I really hope the strike doesn’t derail what I see as a true return to the ST format. Discovery is more like a mini series run since it tends to focus on a singular topic for an entire season.

AzPsycho,

Real Confession Bear memes were my favorite

AzPsycho,

Like I said. “Real” Confession Bear memes.

AzPsycho,

I think that’s actually closer to the mark than many realize. Awards are great when they are not directed at the company or it’s rep in a negative manner as they show positive engagement and help the company with sales marketing. When awards and upvote/downvote counters are used to highlight that the users are having a negative experience then it hurts the platform image. Similarly to how YouTube removed the downvote tracker because their marketing team realized it hurt their sales revenue with business partners.

AzPsycho,

I live in a rural town and people put items like this in front of their homes all the time. I have fixed washers, dryers, etc and had things picked up. If it’s there on trash day it gets hauled off.

What video game have you played the most, that you think is garbage and no one else should ever play?

I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it’s a bad game. Don’t do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you’ll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent’s cool thing....

AzPsycho,

I have owned temtem for a few years and I haven’t spent a dime beyond the initial purchase. I enjoy the more modern Pokemon type experience but I haven’t played in about a year due to work and other interests. I had no idea ait had become so transaction focused.

AzPsycho,

Years ago I started on WoT and went to WoWS and was immediately hooked. Loved it at first but they really do not give a shit about their player base. I haven’t logged on to either in about 3 years.
