- Comment on I bought an HP Laptop with 8gb of Ram...and was suppose to be 256gb SSD. I downloaded one game and its all the way down to 80. Is there any free software to download to help? 5 days ago:
Could be on there up to three times. Once as the downloaded archive, once as the expanded archive, and once as the installed game.

Could be in some currency besides dollars. Colombian pesos are ~4000 pesos to the dollar and use the dollar symbol as the currency symbol. I’m sure there are other currencies that are similar.
- Comment on Are implanted subdermal trackers in SciFi movies at all a realistic possibility? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah but radio doesn’t like meat shields being in the way. RFID only penetrates like a few cm into people.
We could always advocate for RFID tattoos if we want to get this going.
- Comment on Are implanted subdermal trackers in SciFi movies at all a realistic possibility? 2 weeks ago:
We already implant subdermal RFID chips in animals and people. You just put the chip inside a non-biologically reactive substance and it’s fine.
The bigger problem is scanning distance. You’re limited to only a dozen meters or so if you’re not using an active RFID with battery. ~100 meters with a battery but then you have to change the battery every now and then.
- Comment on Obsidian's new first-person RPG Avowed channels Baldur's Gate 3 in one key way: "The core of RPGs that makes them special is missable content" 2 weeks ago:
I’ve played those and BG3 has much more content. Especially missable content that depends on the choices you make.

- Comment on Obsidian's new first-person RPG Avowed channels Baldur's Gate 3 in one key way: "The core of RPGs that makes them special is missable content" 2 weeks ago:
BG3 is a great example simply because there is so much content you can miss. I’ve put 1300+ hours into it and I still see things I haven’t seen in any prior playthrough. Granted they aren’t large story things or quests anymore but still, even the little stuff adds up.
- Comment on In a bit of a pre upgrade slump, what do you recommend? 2 weeks ago:
Have you tried the Star Wars Jedi games? Fallen Order should run fine on your machine and possibly Survivor too but that might be a little much for your rig. \
They’re both wicked fun games that award exploration. I would call them souls-lite not soulslike since they are much easier than something like elden ring or sekiro.

- Comment on Anyone else bounce around from game to game with no clue what to play? 3 weeks ago:
Play Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s enormous. It’s difficult and the turn based combat is something you’ll have to get used to but it’s incredibly fun and deep.
I’ve put 1300 hours into the game because if you get bored you can just start a different character and try the story from their perspective. There are dozens of ways to complete every encounter.
- Comment on Does sunlight through UV-blocking windows warm you less than unfiltered sunlight? 4 weeks ago:
This is correct but also glass blocks both ends of the spectrum. Really just visible light goes through glass. You get some near IR passthrough but not much.

Fuck.
- Comment on For me, Cyberpunk 2077 was uninteractive and has low replayablility value. 4 weeks ago:
Act 1 is a chore to get through on replay.
Good news is if you have the DLC you can skip the first act. The DLC start puts you in front of the Church in Pacifica after fighting Placide.
I like Cyberpunk a lot but replayability is shallow like you say. Sometimes I just boot it up to punch npcs though. Make a gorilla arms build and go ham. It’s pretty cathartic.

Superb Owls kill squirrels too. Not just chickens.
- Comment on Calculatable 1 month ago:
Calculators are similar to a Dark Souls game.
If that were true then mashing buttons on your calculator would prevent any inputs from being processed for a few seconds.
Fromsoft believes in punishing button-mashers.

Time to get off the internet, Dr. Jackson. I’m sure those goa’uld will show up in their spaceships any day now.
- Comment on Can a laptop docking station be used on a KVM switch? 1 month ago:
There are software KVMs that should work if you can’t get a hardware solution to work. I can’t imagine any issues with a hardware KVM and your setup as long as the cables and ports are the proper ones for what you have going on. Most KVMs are plug and play.

That doesn’t sound like a mobile ordering problem. That sounds like a staffing problem.

Excessive laxative use is a thing bulimics sometimes do. It will ruin your insides so probably not a good idea.

Data should move to a country that lacks the phonemes to properly pronounce your name (looking at you Spanish and your piddly 5 vowel sounds). You end up just answering to anything that sounds similar.

Why not go talk to your doctor and see if you have a fungal skin infection. Many of them are nearly undetectable. The doctor should be able to give you an antifungal pill to take for a few weeks and you should be smelling normal again.

Clear the entirety of the first map. You’ll save yourself some headaches and power up Geralt a bit which helps a ton in the early game.
- Comment on Any game with a forced stealth section needs to have it as a warning so you know not to buy crap. 2 months ago:
There’s a danger in any game where it might be largely designed and marketed to be one thing, and then has lengthy mandatory sections where it becomes another.
This is the only issue I have with the cyberpunk 2077 DLC. Most of the game is an open-world action rpg. Then all of a sudden depending on your choices in the DLC you can end up in a mission that is basically Alien: Isolation survival horror. You go from being a powerhouse that can destroy pretty much anything in the game and tank missile hits to being hunted and unable to kill what is hunting you. It was super fucking annoying the first time I did the DLC because I hate those type of games. Great DLC except for that small part.
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 2 months ago:
I prefer the male voice but the female voice is more emotive. Plus the female avatar gets a nice story with Judy.
