Agreed, I was shocked to see a second person saying that RDR2 is movie not a game and the gameplays the weakest part, which was confusing to me as someone who spent a LOT more time enjoying the game than touching the main story and cinematics, and know people personally in the same boat, but then I realized I was about to just reply to the same guy with the same take under another post about gaming and not a super common reoccuring opinion haha

Does anyone know some of the rebinded controls? The main menu doesn't show them and I can't figure out how to reopen the menu during gameplay or any using the bindings that are usually set to the function keys. The page doesn't seem to have any info included like that kind of thing.

Edit 1: crouch is bound to C according to the blog post, but that's the only one mentioned. Edit 2: You can use key_listboundkeys from console. Also can just open the menu with `

I guess I shouldn't be surprised at all given how different people's tastes and preferences are, but I couldn't feel any less in agreement. RDR2 was an incredible experience I still haven't come close to completing purely due t my enjoyment of the immersive content you're deriding. It's not a perfect games by any means but the amount of awe I get from the systems in the game and the immersion it gives me is enough to have me extremely excited for GTA 6 as someone who was previously extremely skeptical of it living up to anywhere near its hype.

Spent way too long looking into this, and I don't think the plain S&P 500 Shariah would exclude SpaceX, I spent a while reading through the methodology [1][2] of the index and I don't see why it would be. I do think the S&P 500 Shariah Industry Exclusions Index [2][3] would be the one that excludes SpaceX as it excludes Aerospace, while no such exclusion exists for the plain S&P 500 Shariah.

Am I missing something or are there no clear pictures of what this actually looks like form factor wise? It seems to be going for a literal motor form factor in the pictures, with a 4-speed transmission and the batteries in the trunk? I went through the catalog [1] and it didn't really give me much of a better idea of what this is supposed to look like. I can take a good guess but you'd think they'd have a few clear pictures of the individual parts as-is.

> lacks support for "new" features like C99 compatibility

This made me laugh. It reminded me of course work I did in university that was clearly written many years before I took the course as it recommended we manually enable the "new" c99 standard in our compiler, which I guess survived in the documentation up through when I took the course, at which point it was still relevant since GCC was otherwise defaulting to C11 by the time I was using it.

Many thanks for sharing, I'll have to check it out this weekend. Do you have much hands on with it? Curious how much fiddling is required when using it. Haven't had a chance to run OP's either but my dream is to find something that's as intuitive to use as the older games. Even modern karaoke software you'll get at karaoke bar usually requires me or my wife to operate it for the entire rest of the group with how complicated everything is haha.

We have notifications set up at my job for criticals and I quickly have learned how many 10.0 CVE's are related to random IoT devices that I can't even find via google.

My wife is a huge karaoke fan. I'm especially interested in the pitch scoring since we usually play the karaoke games on older consoles for that exact feature. Nobody really makes games like that anymore without a subscription (and most of these good modern karaoke platforms are exclusive to east asia anyways). If this works well this could make for some really fun social events, looking forward to trying this.

The bag weight sensors was something I was very happy to see go away. I hated self checkouts for years because it was a miserable experience of it freezing every third item and requiring someone to come get it working again. I only realized this tech had changed when COVID forced me to try self checkout again and it was suddenly a very pleasant experience, though one I have to imagine causes a lot of shrink for stores.

If you don't mind me asking how do they fit around your shoulder to bicep area? I tend to need to size up a lot not just for height but for space in that area for myself. A lot of more slim fitting stuff fits me nice overall but basically strangle my armpit and surrounding area. I've resorted to an extremely baggie style to get better space around the sleeve, especially on t-shirts.

Yeah outside of areas with very light precipitation a pretty hefty snowblower is definitely required. In my experience the weaker models are enough of a waste of energy to where I questioned if I'd save effort just hand shoveling. Everyone I know with a nice gas powered one has had the same one for years and can clear out the entire block with relative ease.

My last apartment had the basic unending sound of a leafblower from Spring to late Fall, nearly every morning, unending. Never once did I find myself thinking "wow I sure do hate sight of fall leaves" or "this grass really needs the mm of grass every meter removed", yet they were paid to come multiple times a week year round and blow things around for hours on end. Felt like such a waste in an otherwise neglected apartment complex as far as maintenance.

I get the use of leafblowers for some. I lived in the deep woods and we'd have to clear a pretty large swath of area every fall to not swim through shin-deep leaves for half the year, but if you already are in an area with light enough tree density to grow nice grass I just personally don't understand the utility of some 1000CFM gas leafblower. I got my parents a relatively cheap electric leafblower and it's been excellent for clearing their driveway and paths.

It's definitely a more personal gripe, but those obnoxious droning leafblowers are one of the worst sources of noise pollution in suburban areas by a large gap.

> Godot to Lumberyard Do you remember what project(s) this was? I'd be super curious on the motivations of the developers. I guess I could see it when it first went open source and Godot wasn't all it was today.

I housesitted at a very nice house with an induction stove and it was one of the most anti-human designs I've ever experienced in a stove. If I wasn't being as clean and tidy as possible for the sake of the homeowners I couldn't imagine how much worse it could've been as the entirely touch based interface added a whole other layer of frustration on top of the extremely confusing UX. I thought this was maybe unique to this stove but every other induction stove I've seen sold at appliance stores has had the exact same layout. I truly don't understand it.

Could you elaborate on what specifically details regarding cn-northwest-1/similar are remotely similar to what's being described in the article?

Thanks for mentioning WMR. I was genuinely struggling to remember why I didn't install LTSC previously and that reminded me. Half the reason I'm stuck on 10 even if I wanted to go to 11 is WMR. LTSC would be perfect for me if it wasn't for that little caveat (and a few more if my memory serves correct).

Awesome that they created and then gutted a standard that just bricks my $400 device that they barely even seem to care to support on launch. There's patches that exist for 11 but they're just that, patches, and my WMR experience is already very jank. Nvidia also seems to be the target for most development so I'm not sure where I'll go once this all settles as I have my gaming PC in a nice position where I can just hop on after work and everything just works with no interruptions or issues currently.

11 is a hot mess and I already know that linux/proton simply won't work for the games I tend to quickly hop onto with friends.

The build part was really helpful for me when I really struggled with EE. My program only ever made us build things for very first semester "build a circuit to light up the LED" type labs. Once we got to even the most basic of components it all became on paper. I really struggled with some of the mental models to the point where I made a habit of going out of my way to build a lot of circuits that I was just supposed to solve on paper. Getting everything correct felt no different to getting things completely wrong in a paper problem until I actually built out the circuits and suddenly "correctness" actually became a real thing that I was tangibly experiencing. I wish my program would've at least taught SPICE a little more to at least scratch the ability to simulate things a little better.

Yeah I had a magic-rules-first style experience in my EE program and it really didn't work for me at all. The nebulous reasoning made it for me where I just really couldn't internalize the pretty basic "rules" because I couldn't help but mess myself up overthinking the more abstract modes of conceptualizing everything which just confused me more. I'm thankful because it gave me the opportunity to quickly learn that I was a lot better at code than circuits, I probably would've been screwed if it took me that long to get to that point in my educations, but I will say the magic rules just did not work for me personally as a way to understand things. I'm sure others would do a lot better at just jumping right in though.
