thats literally the second easiest stealth section in the past 2 decades of gaming.
There are some out there that are actually so infuriatingly bad due to shitty programming and npc noticing you is rng and skill isn’t an option.

- Comment on I LOVE BIRD NAMES 4 weeks ago:
this reminds me…
I feel like some time ago I saw something about some kind of birds being referred to as nugs, but searching that gave me anything other than birds. I’ve been puzzled over if that is actually a name for a type of bird, or someone’s nickname for their birds, or if I just hit my head too many times.

- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 1 month ago:
simple task that often can’t be done properly because 15 people before someone didn’t connect it and eventually after person 40 put it in and the weight surpassed the holding power of a pice of 1 inch angle iron against a single pair of casters, and the train rolls away and smashes a car, now someone is super inconvinenced having to deal with the bullshit insurance procedures that never get you back to where you were before and the staff that there aren’t enough of to keep up get shit they don’t get paid enough to listen to. at least once a week at my store.
Now if you mean people that will specifically take the cart to the two sheds farthest away because they’re the only ones not way over filled then sure. But with the way people over fill them, put other store’s incompatible carts in, put them in sideways or backward leave garbage in the carts, and honestly way more dumb incompetent shit than I could remember, I just can’t see it. As a worker it has been continually way easier to just grab loose ones than redo the fucking mess. As a shopper I can see that all of the sheds are fucked up and everything needs to be removed and reorganized and that putting the cart in will just make it worse, therefore it would be best to place it somewhere it can’t roll away but is easy for one persom to take. In the end reality is too complicated for social theorists I guess.
The shopping cart theory is a test of who lives in imaginary fantasy land where everything is perfect and everything only has a right and a wrong answer and nobody needs to improvise a solution to anything and bad events born of good intentions but utter incompetence also make you a good person.

And a bunch of people here seem to adamamtly judge people with idiotic metrics based on nothing.
I’d be willing to bet up to $2k, more if I had it, that more than half of the serial killers that went quiet before being caught put their carts away and actually chained them in properly too.
If it’s left maliciously in a genuinely bullshit spot, then sure. If it’s placed in a way that doesn’t block anything or hit someones car then I really don’t see the problem. When I worked the grocery store it was literally the easiest task. Chain a few carts together, put them in the shed, repeat, easy. It was a fucking nightmare when I had to break apart the chain of carts spanning the entire lot and balance them without hitting any cars or getting hit by a car, which actually happened to a couple of the other workers.
And let’s not forget the anti mask/vax losers that harassed other shoppers. They put their carts away, and not only that they stuck around if someone wearing a mask approached and didn’t let them take the cart. The walmart and similar store memes are not only a real, but a regular occurance and much worse and more irritating when you work at a store.

nah fuck that shit. there are staff paid to do it and if the store can’t afford that staff they are fucking lying. they have earned this with the price fixing and gouging and I’m not giving them any more of my time than absolutely necessary.

- Comment on Bread 1 month ago:
None of this shit. Homemade uncooked unrisen or partially risen loaves in the freezer, cooked ones in cloth bread bags. If you don’t suck ass at making bread it will always be eaten before it goes stale but its still toastable or usable for cooking. Or just adjust loaf size to match consumption rate. In my region anything in plastic will go moldy before you get halfway, especially purchased loaves.
bonus: secret ingredient for general purpose slicing loaf. 6 to 10 tbsp of chestnut honey. The honey itself smells kinda iffy and tastes aeird but baking it in bread gives it this amazing aroma. Toasting brings out the aroma again after it cools. Great for real bread ice cream sandwiches, especially toasted if you do it as a bowl.

- Comment on How to decide what kind of controller one should purchase? 1 month ago:
Consoles have used different wireless tech/protocols but mostly use bluetooth now. Bluetooth devices should be able to work on pc but may require extra hassle like non standard protocol and no official drivers if they weren’t intended to be used that way. For the ones that do work the main takeaway is no additional dongle if your system already has bluetooth, but there may be addititonal input latency.
2.4ghz is kinda silly naming because bluetooth and wifi are both 2.4ghz, though wifi also has 5ghz, but it usually refers to presumably proprietary protocol over 2.4ghz and uses a usb dongle. It will generally be faster/lower latency but that isn’t even guaranteed as the 2.4ghz mentioned never refers to any standard.
The latency difference will only be noticible to cats or birds or something unless the controller tries to pass the headset audio to the pc. Bluetooth audio has a noticable delay compared to most ‘2.4ghz’ options, particularly noticable in rhythm games, games with inputs timed to audio cues, voice chats where everyone else has low latency audio and fast internet, and probably other stuff I’m not personally into.
Deciding your controller comes down to a lot of things. If the means exist in your area, try as many as you can to determine your most comfortable size, shape and layout. Other than that you absolutely must do yourself a favour and get a controller with hall effect sticks. The console companies all love stick drift. Don’t be fooled by Sony’s replacable stick controller either, the sticks are always out of stock and if you can solder you can get a regular controller and swap to hall effect yourself, both sticks, when drift starts for like $5 CAD vs $25 for 1 that will eventually die in the same way.
But probably just don’t give m$ sony or nint your money since they all get drift and I have replaced the battery and charge circuit on 8 separate ps4 controllers and drifting sticks on so so many of every big3 console controller. 8bitdo has a few stick and trigger hall effect controllers which I can mostly recommend, I have the hall stick only version of the ultimate controller and several of their older regular stick controllers. They are noted for their very close replica feel of snes dpad and face buttons but the configuration and firmware update software was windows only last I checked. I also quite like retro fighters controllers but all of their hall effect options are on closed preorder pending fulfillment. There are other highly regarded non big3 brands that I haven’t tried that seem to have pretty solid feature set and build quality too.
The used market is also an option. Arrange for testing though, and pass or haggle on drift, charging problems, filth, etc. Ifixit teardown guides for swapping parts or just cleaning the shells and button caps in soapy water with a soft rag. Watch out for devices originally sold with ‘soft touch’/‘smooth grip’/etc finish as all of them have degraded and become sticky even unopened in box by now.
