They're going to complain GTA 6 is tedious and too realistic and the slower and realistic meticulous animations are "clunky" because it's not snappy like CoD. Just like with RDR2. Anytime we discussed and proposed more in depth gameplay mechanics like horse maintenance, gun maintenance, eating and just sim type stuff these same people would give the same knee jerk reactions. "Red Dead isn't a life sim". Well? Now what :) ? Those features ended up in the game and now they look clueless. Too many people out there mistakenly believe GTA is meant to be arcade and don't seem to have any idea about who R\* are. Ever since GTA 4 R\* has shifted greatly towa...

Hey everyone,I'm having this issue with my Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen + Audio-Technica AT2020 setup. I've tried everything I can think of (and Focusrite support couldn't help either), so I'm hoping someone here has seen this exact problem.The Core ProblemRecordings on my PC (FL Studio) sound noisy, distorted-ish, distant/muffled, with poor dynamics. The voice feels "off" and not present/forward. Waveforms look flat-ish with a raised noise floor drowning details. But when I plug the exact same Scarlett Solo + AT2020 into my phone (using BandLab or similar app), everything is crystal clear: super present voice, no extra noise, perfect clarity, no distortion,...

Death (and Why I Got Bored of It in Games) Let me start with a blunt question: Isn’t death in games kind of boring? In most RPGs and MMOs, death is just a hard cutoff. Black screen. White screen. “You died.” A loading screen that somehow always takes too long. I’ve never really played a game where death felt integrated into gameplay. It’s usually just a punishment or an inconvenience — something you want to avoid because it interrupts the fun. So I tried to fix that. (Quick note up front: all names here — Limbo, gods, realms — are placeholders. I care way more about the structure than the labels right now.) The Lore Problem I Started With In this world, magic and l...

I got this shirt for cheap through a second hand store. It has “official merchandise” written on it but I don’t recall seeing this specific piece on sale during the CRASH era. Was this part of a limited release or part of store’s collection (like Target, Hot Topic, etc.) I honestly don’t really care if it’s legit or not as it’s really hard to get any Charli related merch (even bootleg) in my country. I was just curious about this and thought an angel out here could help me ID this shirt 🤞

In my books setting, my protagonist is an astronaut for his planet's space program. Like most advanced space programs, they have their own launch facility in the form of an island off the coast of the main continent in the east, which is practically a small city. It's got its own launch pads, launch control center, liquid hydrogen tanks, water recycler systems, residential buildings, etc. Though almost all of its spacecraft are converted ships from the navy, ships at the end of their service life given a new peaceful purpose. Yet like in our world, the planetary government is still relatively cheap when it comes to giving them a more than average budget. To put it bluntly, they ca...

Hi, everyone. I will be as brief as possible, because I don’t want to waste your time: I won't mention any names, or countries, because I wanna protect the identity if this person... but I saw a someone who is: - +40y; - political figure part of the most popular political party of a country - +/- decade of political life - later become a federal deputee; - no previous studies on areas like politics, socioeconomics, ... Say they were recently diagnosed with ASD. And I wanna make sure I'm not wrong - I want to be as objective as possible - so I need to know if you think it’s possible/probable, for a person with a disability like autism (without diagnosis, not saying an autist...

Hey everyone, I’m looking for perspective from people who’ve faced similar cost-of-living dilemmas with remote roles. I’ve been offered a remote position with a US-based tech vendor on a large project. The pay is around €1,000 net per month. I’m a non-EU citizen, and while I already have Portuguese residency and a local bank account, the current rental market has been a shock. Between high rents and upfront costs (multiple deposits, advance payments), securing housing would consume nearly four months of income upfront, which feels financially unsustainable. Because of this, I’m exploring whether there are realistic alternatives to remaining physically in Portugal while continui...

Recently acquired these beautiful 1818,1819 French history books by Louis-Pierre Antequil. I’m more familiar with Modern English Literature or rare American Literature, but these were only $15 and I had to buy them. I have volumes 1 (1818), 7 (1819), and 9 (1819) of the new edition publishings printed with revisions from Jean-Pierre Gallais during the Restoration period. All three have the same bookplate. I have looked into some European based dealers because the books are French, but two have already gotten back to me and said they would only be interested in the complete collection. Are there any antiquarians (preferably based in the US or UK) that wouldn’t mind an incomplete set? ...

I’ve shared this story before: One time i was saving up for an xbox that was on sale, I wanted it because I had no other form of entertainment. At school I would ask for coins and also look for some spare cents in the halls and bathrooms, one time some guy gave me 5 dollars that really helped. Here is the part you’ve waited for, when i finally got all the money needed i got a friend of mine to drive me to the electronic store. When I found out i lost a penny and he told me it was him who stole it and i had not enough anymore he said he wouldnt give it back. Right as he gave it back the sale ended i was so mad driving home, when we got back to his house i remembered he had hi...

I am hoping someone on here can share their experience going to the Baggu SoHo store in New York. Specifically, is there anything meaningfully different to the in-store experience (like store exclusives, older collections, or discounted items)? Also, is there usually a line to get in, and if so, how long? I'm visiting NY for the first time next weekend and I don't have a lot of time, so I'm trying to decide if its worth it to visit, especially since I can already shop in person at Te Koop. Thanks in advance!

Hi all. I have a Lian Li O11D EVO XL and was wondering what part I would need to mount my GPU upward? (See image) I'm trying to run 2 GPUs in my system but I bought myself the incorrect mount. The second card I'm trying to put in is far smaller than my primary card. (5700 XT 50th anniversary edition) Thanks in advance!

Two updates for the community that might affect some members routine. * **London congestion charge:** The 100 percent Cleaner Vehicle Discount ended, and from 2 January 2026 EVs only get a discount if registered on Auto Pay. Electric cars get 25 percent off, not free. This can change whether you drive into the zone or switch to public transport on some days. * **UK vehicle tax for EVs:** From 1 April 2025, EVs pay VED. New EVs registered on or after 1 April 2025 pay a £10 first year rate, then the standard rate after. Many people forget to budget this into ownership costs. If you want, reply with your city and your typical weekly driving pattern and I will tell you which part of your rou...

Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip to Egypt and could really use some advice from someone who knows the area and the dive scene. I’m looking for a hotel that also has a good SSI dive school on site or very nearby. My goal is to do my SSI Deep Diver specialty, and I’ve already completed SSI Open Water Diver and Nitrox, so I’m specifically looking for an SSI shop with great service and reviews. Good instruction and a well-run school are important to me. Very often i find a good hotel, but only PADI-Schools nearby.. Beyond the diving, I care a lot about the hotel quality. I want a place where I can actually enjoy the non-diving part of my holiday, without worrying about getting sick f...

Hello! This is my first app and I'm pretty happy about this, even if I will be the only user :) Why did I do it? I've been doing CrossFit and HIIT workouts for years, and I was never happy with the timer apps out there. Either they were bloated with features I didn't need, had annoying ads mid-workout, or didn't work properly when my phone was locked. So I built my own and I called Timme. What it does: * AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata, Pyramid timers (the stuff we actually use) * Works in the background with your phone locked * Apple Watch app that works standalone (no phone needed at the gym) * Audio cues that duck your music instead of stopping it * No ads, ever [](https://pr...

Hello everyone, this final episode is going to be much harder to write than the previous ones, and indeed, it is the longest post by a sizable margin. Both because the DAK is a faction that, even more so than others, many people are very passionate about, and because many of its mechanics feel like they can either be very overpowered or pretty useless, with very little in-between. As always, many thanks to u/BitExcellent4363 for his help, and thanks to all of you for your engagement during this series. Obligatory disclaimer, we are mainly playing 2v2 at 1300-1400 ELO, and thus this post is mostly aimed at 2v2 balance, and to a lesser extent 1v1. *** ## General issues Let’s talk about th...

I was in Athens seven years ago. The crisis was in the news and although the central parts of the city didn’t show it, places like Victoria seemed abandoned and hopeless, as if a whole neighborhood just stood up and left. Now I’m in Thessaloniki and it feels for sure much more livelier. However even in the central places there are dusty shops and stores that were closed for a long time, whole decaying buildings with no windows, next to quite prosperous ones and it feels like on side streets, the upper floors are either taken by airbnb or abandoned. So I wanted to ask, how do you feel now? Is it hopeless, is it getting better?

Hi everyone, I see the "Bupa vs. Vitality" question come up a lot, and it's a good one as they represent two very different approaches to private health insurance. I've been looking into their core differences and thought I'd share a summary of what I've found. At a high level, their philosophies are the main distinction: - **Bupa** is the traditional, treatment-focused provider. They've been around since the 40s and are structured as a company without shareholders, reinvesting profits back into healthcare. Their model is built around providing comprehensive access to treatment when you need it. - **Vitality** is the more modern, wellness-oriented playe...
