I'm a basic bitch who likes bourbon or rum with sweet artificial flavours, like Red Stag or Tennessee Apple. Yes it's just JD with fake apple flavouring, but it tastes great with a bit of ice and that's good enough for me.

TACD posted:I got given a monthly whiskey tasting subscription as a birthday gift last year and as a result I have switched from spending all my disposable income on videogames to whiskey instead 👍🏻 That sounds fun, I got a craft beer sub once and every one of them tasted of hops and car air fresheners. Whisky sounds more promising though.

I'm a very light drinker now, pretty much down to a single whisky over ice that I can take my time with or a half of lager if I'm actually thirsty. I like the taste, but I hate being drunk now.

I actually hit her second phase on my first go with the mimic tear in tow, but Waterfowl Dance is just a wall that I couldn't get past solo. I've seen in footage that you can dodge through it, but I am damned if I can get the timing down on any single part of it.

Last year I did some quick calculations based on sales figures and how much he claimed to have raised for charity. I don't remember the exact figures, but in his first year he raised something like £85k, and by the same metric, going by claimed sales numbers, last year it would have been about £130k. Which is nice, but seems questionably low for the top spot on the chart.

You can group tabs as well, then minimise the group to save space. In Edge you can do vertical tabs as well, which is really handy when you can't see what the gently caress any of them are anymore.

Bookmarks are just for websites themselves, articles go in the reading list in Chrome, or Collections in Edge, which lets you split them into different categories so you can separate recipes from articles and so on and makes it easier to save a lot more stuff.

You have to duplicate the tab and close the old (process ended) one for it to load gain. This can be useful as you can just then close the most memory-hungry tabs. Or just use Edge, which automatically sleeps tabs for you and also doesn't hog all your memory during normal use. Doctor_Fruitbat fucked around with this message at 10:07 on Dec 19, 2022 |

It still dies regularly trying to calculate a spreadsheet or run teams, so maybe I'm just used to not using Windows and that is how it's supposed to be. If you're connected to a corporate network then that might be the bottleneck, including for Excel if it uses Office 365 or the file is hosted online.

Did terfs hear the phrase Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus (which is already bollocks) and think it was literal. We are this close to terfs claiming that men and women are literal different species. "Men and women are as different from each other as ducks and humans", what the actual gently caress.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:I just totally don't get the obsession TERFs have with genitalia & how people pee. It's some sort of fetish. A lot of people have been raised with the idea that men and women are totally fundamentally different to each other on a biological and psychological level and have built their entire personality around it, and in a lot of ways their entire culture (see: most sitcoms from yesteryear), and some people have responded to being told that this is absolute bollocks by going completely insane. This seems like a good time to post this criminally under-viewed video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1oVv59o-UQ It needs a couple of rewatches as it is fairly dense, but it is the absolute best refutation of the gender binary I've seen.

There's a world of modern indie games that are a better introduction to retro games than actual retro games, just because game design has come so far since those days. The best online game for kids is a closed Minecraft server with their friends.

My biggest recommendation for Souls newcomers is to do it with a friend or two. Both for general quickstart advice and summoning them in for help. Elden Ring even has a mod to let you both stay in multiplayer together permanently. I have a friend who wanted to try DS3, so two of us gave him tips until he was past the opening section, then played with him as a trio for the entire game. We absolutely blew through the game and had a total blast, and although you're very open to invasions from other players when you're a trio, DS3 weights invasions heavily in favour of the invaded player so we got a bunch of cool fights and never felt in danger of losing progress. Everyone asks for an easy mode in Souls games, but it already exists and it's called bringing your friends.

Kin posted:Tldr, it's not about gitting gud, but explaining that they're games about learning the patterns of the different little sections and trying to avoid getting hit while you make your way through them. Basically if you don't assume that you can just out-mash the enemy, leave enough stamina to escape their range after attacking and take a few seconds to learn how a new enemy attacks then that's most of the learning curve dealt with immediately. The number of people who just run into attacks over and over for several hours then pick up the biggest sword possible so they can play it like an incredibly slow and annoying button masher is incredible.

Dabir posted:DS2 just is very poo poo and deliberately cruel thoigh, in a way the others really aren't. Especially the Scholar version and its favourite trick, hiding enemies in nooks and crannies way above you so they can drop on you and take you by surprise. DS3 is still hard, but it's fair. I totally see the point about enemy placement (I've only played Scholar) and it does require you to approach areas a lot more methodically than DS1, but I somehow also found it really manageable and satisfying to work through. Even the Shrine of Amana, infamously a massive slog, just felt like a really satisfying challenge. I guess I just found it really fun to properly clear out the areas, like it's not just items you're hunting through the nooks and crannies for, it's the enemies as well, so every area has a really meaty feel to it in a different way to the others.

Oh dear me posted:No, the soldier of Godrick in the Cave of Knowledge That's literally a regular enemy they gave a boss bar to, he's designed to give you a light combat encounter against someone who takes more than one or two hits to take down, you will immediately run into some a minute or two into the main overworld. I'm genuinely curious as to what significant issue you had with defeating him, all of his attacks are pretty well telegraphed and you have acres of room to run around him.

Judging by what you've written it sounds like she's gone all in on women being utterly subservient to men. So no sexual liberation, anyone who enables that is also bad, and anything perpetrated by a strongman archetype like Putin or Tate is fine.

I think you know already that the answer is that he pays the fine quietly and quickly while he has the chance. He's not going to get out of paying it, refusing to pay is only going to get him in more trouble, and giving a fake name has hosed him further.

Measuring delivery metrics isn't hard and is perfectly useful for seeing if your employees are actually doing their job, it's just that the expected number of deliveries is way too tight. Getting rid of those metrics won't make anyone's jobs easier, they just need to employ more drivers.

Avanti have absolutely hosed it, they literally don't have enough staff to run a functioning timetable after the staff decided they weren't going to work outrageous amounts of overtime anymore, so your only option is to buy a ticket whenever you can, hope that most of the trains actually run, then hope that something doesn't happen to make it even worse and more overcrowded. That's my experience of Avanti this past year.

There are definitely apps or even a basic AutoHotKey program you can run that jiggle the mouse for you. There are also a million pitch-perfect Rick and Morty impersonators out there, they're not particularly difficult voices to do, so I imagine they'll just replace their voices and have done with it.

The sixth book has Dumbledore stating that the centaurs might align with Voldemort because the wizards had forced them to live in the woods outside of towns and cities and refused them access to magic on the basis that they're beasts (despite obviously being people). This is never brought up again or addressed. If Rowling isn't explicitly in favour of slavery and caste systems then she certainly doesn't see them as anything more than an unfortunate side effect of letting some people live in immense privilege that doesn't need to be dealt with.
