Favourite controllers
  • Just got this thing last week, I love it so far. Still haven't figured out how to make good use of the back paddles on PC, but even without those it's a great controller.

  • Just got this thing last week, I love it so far. The charging cradle is really convenient. I still haven't figured out to make good use of the back paddles on PC, but it's a great controller even without those.

  • Optional is a synonym for fuck it
  • Stealth has always been optional in Assassin's Creed. The modern games have a lot of problems (the series really hasn't been good since Black Flag) but that one in particular isn't new. Trying to be stealthy makes every mission take twice as long, but imo it also makes them more fun.

  • State laws are factoring into college choices for young adults
  • I mean...duh? Basically the entire point of having different laws in different states is that people can choose what laws they want to live under. No one should be surprised that young people are considering that when choosing colleges.

  • exercise for us?
  • Someone else mentioned VR games, if you can afford the gear I second that recommendation. Some games can be quite the workout, and it doesn't feel like I'm convincing myself to exercise because I'm just playing video games.

  • In a homebrew world how much lore is minimum to have as a player before you feel you can play in it?
  • I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but I feel like a world map is important. It doesn't have to be a work of art, even a rough sketch of a continent shape with a couple landmarks and a You Are Here sign will do. For me, being able to visualize a map of the world and my character's position on it helps me place my character in the context of the world. This is doubly true if your campaign has a lot of travel, as many do.

  • Anyone else having characters not moving their lips during dialog?

    Basically title. I decided to start a new honor mode run after the update the other day (haven't played in a few months) and getting a bug in which character's face animations don't work during dialog. Lips don't move, expressions don't change. A little googling didn't turn up any similar reported bugs except for a couple dating back to the early access days. Has anyone else been seeing this since the update, or is it just me?

    Whinge Thread Question: What's your most hated trope in Movies at the moment
  • Parallel worlds/multiverses. I hate them because it removes all stakes or consequences from the events of a story. Character died? Bring in a new version from another world. Inconvenient thing happened? Move to a world where it never happened. Nothing matters, nothing is canon, everything is reversible.

  • ‘Pure greed:’ Etiquette expert explains why tipping has gotten out of control
  • I wouldn't say it's great even there. If you want people to pay 20% more for their food so your workers can get paid, just list that on the menu. Raise all food prices 20% and pay the wait staff a decent wage. Customers pay the same in the end and your staff isn't dependent on customer generosity to make a living.

  • For software devs, which job to pick
  • I'm going to buck the trend here and advise the more conservative position. I took a developer job in the insurance industry right out of college, and I have no regrets. The work is rarely exciting, but it's stable and not very demanding. I have great work life balance. And developer jobs in non tech related industries seem to be largely immune to the upheavals and layoffs currently affecting the tech world.

  • Nashville college freshman Jillian Ludwig dies after being hit by a stray bullet at a local park
  • High rates of gun ownership is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for high rates of homicide. "Necessary" would imply that high homicide rate is flat out impossible without high gun ownership, which is clearly not true.
