Topic | if bethesda released their own steam-type client, would you use it? |
Dikitain 09/15/17 11:41:06 AM #21 | Yes, but probably would not get much use since nowadays I only really play ID software Bethesda games. Fire Noodles. --- I am a senior software engineer. If you see me post here, I am tired of writing TPS reports. |
Topic | Have any of you ever contested a speeding ticket? |
Dikitain 09/15/17 10:31:08 AM #4 | No, troopers here are meticulous with their speeding tickets. They will put down the make, model, last service date, etc. of the radar they used. Plus an internet link to the video of you speeding. Not to mention they get fired if they don't show up to court dates. So yea, no way of getting out of speeding tickets. --- I am a senior software engineer. If you see me post here, I am tired of writing TPS reports. |

Topic | Preferred method of note-taking |
Dikitain 09/13/17 2:00:52 PM #12 | Typed, usually on OneNote since it makes my notes available everywhere (I don't use Evernote because it doesn't really fit with my note taking style). I don't think I have hand written anything since I stopped using paper checks like 5 years ago. --- I am a senior software engineer. If you see me post here, I am tired of writing TPS reports. |
Topic | I think the scores for Marvel's Netflix shows underline the problem with... |
Dikitain 09/13/17 1:28:16 PM #1 | the modern comic book industry and the sensibilities of the modern comic book reader. For example, the lowest rated show according to the critics was Iron Fist: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/marvel_s_iron_fist Now while I wasn't a fan of Iron Fist and it is certainly the worst of the Netflix shows, it is in no way an 18%. At worst maybe a 50% - 60%. Conversely, the highest rated show is not Daredevil (my favorite), not Jessica Jones, but Luke Cage: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/luke_cage 96%, really? Pretty much anyone you talk to says that show has a really bad second half. And while I tend to disagree (the first have was really boring while I actually liked the second half, although the ending was crap) the point still stands that it is not nearly perfect. At best it is a 75%. Also, for reference, there are the scores for the other 3 shows: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/jessica_jones https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/daredevil https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/marvel_s_the_defenders There isn't a huge disparity between these, but I think that the user scores are pretty close to my personal opinions on them. Anyways, the point I am trying to make is that the two top rated shows (Luke Cage and Jessica Jones) tend to deal more with the sociopolitical issues of today (like a lot of modern comics do) while the rest are more politically neutral. As a result, critics rate them highly, but fans just tend to roll their eyes and not care as much. --- I am a senior software engineer. If you see me post here, I am tired of writing TPS reports. |
Topic | What temperature do you have your home set to? |
Dikitain 09/13/17 12:56:09 PM #13 | Currently 74 (AC), but it isn't running since it hasn't been that hot in a few weeks. Once the weather starts turning cold, I'll be setting the heat to 68. --- I am a senior software engineer. If you see me post here, I am tired of writing TPS reports. |
Topic | Okami HD coming to PC, PS4 and XB1 |
Dikitain 09/13/17 12:27:38 PM #7 | Far-Queue posted... I'm a little burned out on these remakes and re-releases, but I feel like if people don't buy them then Capcom (or whoever) will think there's no interest in the game and then the chances of a new entry will be that much slimmer. I don't mind them too much as long as they stay cheap ($20 or less) and the games are old enough (1 generation or more). Plus they are an easy way for Capcom to make money without needing to invest in a AAA game (which they really can't afford to do too many of nowadays). Put it this way: Without RE0 HD and REmake HD, we probably wouldn't have gotten RE7. --- I am a senior software engineer. If you see me post here, I am tired of writing TPS reports. |

Topic | Favorite type of save points |
Dikitain 09/12/17 11:06:31 AM #25 | I used to like checkpoints, but after years of being forced to do the same thing over and over again, or being drained of resources with no way to replenish, or just general glitches which make them difficult to use, I prefer save anywhere. I do think they should still have automatic saves at certain points as a backup. A lot of late 90's/early 2000's FPS games did that and it was perfect in my opinion. Also never NEVER do checkpoints in a stealth game. NEVER!!! FUCKING NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --- I am a senior software engineer. If you see me post here, I am tired of writing TPS reports. |

He just got a pacemaker, but other then that he is still in really good health especially for a 91 year old man. I mean he lives in an apartment off of my dad's house, but for the most part he is still self sufficient.
