If the feeling is in your gut and not your ass it may be too deep.

"Yoked to the max"

(Or just "yoked")

I've been liking Magneto as well, but I hate his sound design. There's nothing about it that tells you his powers have anything to do with magnetism or controlling metal. He sounds like he has generic fantasy psychic powers

If you want to reduce how audible you are outside your room you can add some sound dampening material to your walls and door and seal air cracks around your door. Those black spiked foam wall panels or heavy curtains are probably best for sound dampening, but something as simple and cheap as paper egg cartons on your walls will greatly reduce how much sound gets through.

How is it different from any other subtitling?

We would need to ignore how destitute the rest of the world would need to be for a superpower to full-on collapse in its entirety. I'm also assuming you mean that there's zero semblance of order or organized society.

The military would get recalled and leave American bases, strategic territory, and other occupied areas undefended and open to capture. Economies that rely heavily on trade with the US would need to find new trading partners to prevent potential economic collapse and it might not even save them if they can't get similar enough agreements or pricing. There are countries that also rely heavily on straight US aid, either monetarily or goods, that would collapse themselves or force them to align with whichever country would give them new aid. Global healthcare would dip without the drugs manufactured by the US. No American commodities like oil or food makes prices of those commodities go up everywhere else.

People around the world would be afraid. Whatever you may think of the American government and US politics, the average US citizen/resident is quite removed from the goings on of the federal government. The states on their own have a lot of independence and some would likely survive a collapse in federal leadership, but if federal, state, and local government all collapsed together it would be something serious enough to warrant attention from other countries with similar structure to the US.

What exists right now is full of jank, but if you played it or even followed the patch to patch development you could see they're consistently building foundations for a game that is simultaneously:

  • FPS
  • MMO
  • Fully physicalized
  • Physics based
  • Open world
  • High fidelity
  • Fully persistent

Considering how no game like what SC is supposed to be has come out in the time SC has been in development, it must not be that easy of a game to make.

I got into SC in December of last year and have seen their progress and have been to play and participate in all of it while only spending 45 USD on the base package. Nothing else is needed to join since all ships eventually come out in game as buyable for in game money and I bought nearly every ship like that.

CIG certainly sells ships to whales, but to them it's necessary for their commitment to no publishers or large investors.

It's been 12 years and no game like what it's supposed to be has come out so I guess it's not that easy of a game to make

I don't like how absent of shit this post is

If the client doesn't support the codec or resolution of the media then it'll need transcoding

That person that is kind of lacking in social skills, still weirdly opinionated about really specific things, doesn't care enough about their appearance for how old they are, and several other holdovers from being a nerdy high school shut in, but is very slowly becoming better. They're trying to understand how to have more flexible conversations with people, figuring out a clothing style that works for them, and just doing some general growing up. They're still kind of hard to be around, but you can tell they've made progress and that's all you can really ask of them.

I think maybe you have too strong of a focus on plot. It's there to give structure to the breakdown of a family that is passing down mental, emotional, and supernatural problems like they're hereditary. It's a showcase of how a family raised to be tools can devolve when they're finally being used.

!Personally my favourite part is the massive tone shift at the very end when Peter is finally possessed and receives his revelation. It's a beautifully crafted scene that balances being celebratory and morbid. A fantastically unique payoff to an entire movie's worth of buildup.!<

 

I just got myself an Arctis Nova 7X and have been trying to get chat mix to work using HeadsetControl and Nova7ChatmixLinux. The latter uses the former to poll the Nova 7X for the current chat mix balance. The creator set the polling rate at 1/sec which is a little long, but I fear it may be for hardware safety reasons. I got the Nova 7X because my Arctis 7 died with suspicious timing. I had installed a version of HeadsetControl with a gui that had polling rate adjustment and the 7's transmitter stopped receiving power shortly after I set the polling rate to 1/sec.

Has anyone fiddled with these projects and the Nova 7s and have any insight into polling rates that may be unsafe?
