Maybe that's why younger people are getting certain cancers more often than in decades past.
Don't let your dreams be dreams
You should. I've sunk over 200 hours into it. And those are rookie numbers.
Just know that it's buggy, even with the stability mods. RTGame's experience with the crashes in his playthrough is pretty on point.
I wonder how hard it will be to get it to run on a pc and see how it compares to PCSX2.
Time to reopen the Copper mines in Michigan to make up for the deficit?
We've had logging tariffs on them for a bit, especially at the start of the pandemic when lumber prices were insane and getting rid of them would've helped lower prices a bit.
Wouldn't/Shouldn't you be worried about your live meal shitting itself in the pot once it finally dies? Or did the witch make sure they went to the bathroom before putting them in the pot?
It would be cool to see a sequel to Control. I want to learn more about this universe. And to work more with Ahti.
I can kind of answer this question. For a year, I worked at a big box store where you can "save big money". They had periodic training and one of the modules was on their store card.
The question was, "Why do we want people to have our card?"
I replied, "Because we don't have to pay the standard processing fees."
"No, it's because of loyalty. If they have a [big box store] card, then they're much more likely to spend their money here instead of [competitor]."
Almost completely blind. It seems he can still see some shapes or shadows, but only during the day.
He used to be a stray, but he lost a few too many fights with other strays.
I was able stop drinking pop fairly easily as a teen, but I still had problems with drinking other super sugary drinks like V8's "fruit" juice or Simply Lemonade.
One thing I did was start drinking tea, particularly fruity flavors. Those are rather flavorful for teas and helped wean me off those other sugary drinks.
Plus with tea basically being flavored water, it made the jump to drinking straight up water even easier. I still drink tea, mind you, but I also drink a lot of straight water.
I have that and also MC:LA for the PS3. I recently learned that Rockstar never officially ported MC:LA to the PC so the only official ways to play it are on the PS3 and 360. And sadly RPCS3 still needs more optimization before it's playable. I get about 15-30 fps whenever I try it.
I'm a 3 monitor person as well. 34" ultrawide as my main with two 24" widescreens side-to-side immediately above it. I use it for work and personal use.
Ultrawide has my main programs for work: internet browsers and job specific programs get about 60% of the real estate on the left, while pdf's, and other less essential programs go to the right 40% of the screen.
The top left monitor gets Teams, Excel docs, or auxiliary browsers.
Top right gets email and media (YouTube, Spotify, etc) or any overfill if I'm dealing with a particularly cluttered job.
For personal, ultrawide is obviously used for games, movies, etc, while top left has task manager, MSI Afterburner, and Throttlestop (I run a laptop). And the top right has Discord.
This implies we'll need customized times for every large celestial body. And that we may need to look into a "universe background time" and use that as the new baseline. Kind of like how we have GMT.
I feel this would fit better under either Bone Hurting Juice or Speed of Lobsters. Idk if we have any communities like that here yet.
I recommend going through them when you think of it. I occasionally go through mine when I remember, and every time I'm reminded why I saved every single one of them. They all make me laugh or smile in some way or another and can legitimately be a good pick-me-up when things are rough.
This song goes harder than it has any right to and I feel more people should be aware of it. And the few people who did get to hear in game only heard the first 60-90 seconds before the level ended.
Context: I have a Ford Taurus AWD with a naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 (288 hp & 254 lb-ft, stock). It had reached the point in life where it's old enough that I'm ok tinkering with it, but new enough that it's still worth tinkering. There was also zero info about tuning this engine and I wanted to fix that. So I brought it to a dyno. I went with an HP Tuners ECU. The only other "mod" to my car was a set of one-step colder spark plugs; everything else is stock. Edit: I also stuck with 87 octane.
The shop managed to increase the peak wheel horsepower from 217 hp to 231; and the torque from 203 lb-ft to 222. Increases of 14 hp and 19 lb-ft, or 6% and 9%, respectively. Assuming the parasitic losses is the same, my new power at the crank is roughly 306 hp and 278 lb-ft. Pretty similar to the stock 3.7L that Ford made. But as you can see from the graph, other areas improved even more. Some sections received 20+ lb-ft, and 15+ hp above 5000 rpm. Mileage seems to have improved, too. However I still need to test that more. I've only had this tune for a week now.
I haven't done many hard accelerations, but it does feel a little faster when accelerating. Pre-tune, I remember feeling a surge in power around 4000 rpm; I'm glad the dyno proved me right. In terms of feel, the most noticeable difference is in city driving. The engine feels so much more responsive when I start to press on the pedal from a standstill. But not in a jerky, aggressive way (unless I choose to floor it); it's still a very comfortable daily driver. It just "feels" more put together, if that makes sense.
Total cost for the dyno and tune was around $1500-2000. Plus any extraneous repairs they required me to do before I could go on the dyno (I.E. I had a leaky transaxle seal that cost $525 to replace). So, I see why not many people choose to get their cars tuned. At the same time, I feel this was worth it for the science. If anyone has any questions, I'll try to answer them as best I can.
I found this big chip on this copy of SSX3. I no longer consider it safe to use; don't need it shattering inside my console and ruining that, too.
Edit: For those interested in emulating PS1 through 3 games, you have zero reason not to. Normally the difficult-to-obtain part is the BIOS as it's proprietary. That normally requires a homebrewed console or questionably downloading it online. But Sony actually lets you download the official PS3 firmware update to your computer. That contains not just the BIOS for the PS3, but also the emulated PS1 & 2 BIOSes. There's a program a person made that pulls the emulated BIOSes for the PS1 & 2 (I forget the name; it's on GitHub). With those in hand, grab a DVD ROM drive (you can buy an external one for like $40) and download ImgBurn to start ripping your games and creating ISO's. PS3 games have some extra encryption so they need a different program called PS3 Disc Dumper. You also need a compatible Blu-Ray drive; RPCS3 provides a list of known compatible drives on their site. They mention their list is incomplete, so if yours isn't on it, there's still a chance it will work. And obviously the emulators for each console (DuckStation, PCSX2, RPCS3). There's a little bit more to it than that, but it's easier than you might think. Just need to do a bit of googling for the things I mentioned. I also recommend checking out each emulators' respective Discord servers. They contain helpful resources.
Happy emulating!
While I did manage to rip the game (I realized it was damaged after I pulled it out), it's no longer safe to use and its life is now limited.
