Immediately thought of QI

I appreciate it fellow friendly internet stranger! Luckily I’m on the other side of a lake for this, so not too much worry. Air quality is rough, but I’ve honestly gotten used to it growing up in Cali. Not the first (or likely last) time I’ve had to deal with raining ash. Closest we get to snow in our area haha

The Airport Fire is very close to me, and just crested the mountain range to be visible on our side. It’s not a CALFire Incident but thankfully they still update reports and evac zones. Fire.ca.gov is the absolute GOAT.

There’s a really well done VR mod for this game. It’s actually the only way I’ve played it so far. If you can run Steam VR I highly recommend it! I had to do a reinstall of some stuff so haven’t finished the game yet, but it’s been high on my ‘to-do list’.

I keep coming back to Skyrim VR. Great mod options that make it far more playable than base VR. That and Walkabout are the two VR games I’ve really sunk time into

bbno$, Doja Cat, and Helen Mirren. All in my DMs

I have an older Ryzen and had no problems with FD until recently. I’m not doubting your personal rig has issues likely tied to this faulty chip, it’s probably also being made worse by their servers.

Oh shit son! I used to work at DCA and while I enjoyed it the pay was abysmal. They argued for more, but that can only last for so long with inflation.

Fun fact! PG&E plead to 84 counts of manslaughter due to them wiping an entire city of the map and nothing really changed. I’m all for Boeing (and other companies) having oversight, but it just doesn’t seem like it does much.

I think it’s a combo of the two. I watch a lot of panel shows and the first thing that comes to mind is pandemic filming. It actually was a bit awkward at first not to have the studio laugh because it was traditionally filmed with a live audience. That’s still half an argument as certain shows will have cues for the audience.

At the end of the day we are very social animals and appreciate feeling emotion together so if we find something funny/scary/exciting we get positive feedback when others around us (at least sound like) they feel the same. It’s the main reason a decent amount of people enjoy going to the movies.

This will fall flat when laugh tracks are added over frequently; but when used properly (and with actually good jokes) they encourage the audience to fully engage.

Imagine the embarrassment of being the only person to clap/laugh/scream at a performance; thats the intended buffer for ‘canned’ responses.

Edit; when I started this comment there was only one response. What I cover was also brought up by other commenters, but I’m slow at typing while I’m sleepy (RIP)

I’ve only willingly listened to him talk a couple of times (YouTube shorts where his head is on a space Marine from 40k) and I get what you mean. One hopes that this can dissuade some of his more ‘moderate’ listeners, but I do worry about the unhinged majority.

Wasn’t the new CEO just talking about how they were counting on PC players to go out and buy the console for sequels? I’m over here still waiting for Spider-Man 2, no intention of buying a console again.

Is this what you’ve been waiting for? Say “one, two…and four!”

I requested a refund a few days ago with 2.1 hours played. Still don’t have it, so hopefully they’ll get around to it

Edit - they denied me because I bought it over 2 weeks ago.

I guess it is kinda funny, considering the person I quoted did bring it up. Have a great day mate, I’m done with this circuitous convo

I was responding to someone who specifically brought up the crashes…

It’s gotta be the same trolls that visit every Boeing thread claiming accidents are the fault of the airport not the manufacturer. They are fucking relentless.

You’re calling me a bot for adding context?

Those people are just clarifying headlines that give no idea how long the plane was in service. If they’ve been in service for over a decade it stands to reason that the maintenance on the plane might have been faulty. OFC Boeing should be investigated due to the door plug blow-out, and have previously demonstrated their willingness to cut corners with the Max debacle. That doesn’t mean every incident is their direct fault, and Airbus can suffer similar incidents but not be reported on.

Got in! It was a really silly mistake on my part; I was trying to log in with my username instead of my email 🙃 in my defense I was very sleepy haha

Thanks for the quick response as well ❤️

I’m really interested!!! Unfortunately I keep getting an ‘invalid credentials’ notification after clicking the link to verify. I’ve tried to reset the password but still can’t get in. I’m happy to send a donation, but want to make sure it’s linked to an account.

Do you have a character limit? I also can’t show the password while trying to log in to verify it was inserted correctly. I’ve tried both with and without special characters and am using iOS ‘suggest a password’ feature if that helps at all.

I’ll be trying again in the morning to see if goes through as I can totally understand there being a delay in verification.
