Heard this song for the first time a couple years ago and I gotta say it is so weird hearing Serj drop that many n-bombs in one song

My landlady texts like that. But I think she’s just speed typing or dictating and not at all reading it before hitting send. The guy who lives in the back does the same, but I think that one’s on the drugs

Ooo, another Ubisoft game I can not spend my money on. Always enjoy a chance to financially give them as much of a middle finger as I can

I’m doing stealth hacker right now, 5th playthrough.

I usually hack nearby objects rather than the people themselves. Other people have already noted bringing trace down with memory wipe or sonic shock, but I usually don’t hack the people at all. Catch is the approach I use needs throwing knives or a silenced pistol. Preferably knife, since it triggers detection a lot less. Distract with a CHOOH2 tank, then overload it when they have it right in front of their face. Distract from line of sight to sneak up on people and take them down. Lure them in front of traps like falling crates using Bait or nearby distractions like lights. When there’s no hack ables nearby or convenient, the knife comes into play.

Bottom line is directly hacking enemies is either a race against time with some tools to reset the race or an endgame strat. Other hacks and I think a perk or two provide ways to do reset trace, and AOE perks and hacks can make the trace progress moot if you kill everyone fast enough, but if you want to go slow and stealthy, you’ll need to be more crafty and indirect with your strats. Use mostly covert hacks as distractions, with some combat hacks in your pocket for if things go south.

Make sure you do a ton of side content like NCPD scanner jobs, gigs, psychos, etc. That will net you the eds and parts to keep your cyberdeck upgraded. You’ll be using ultimate quick hacks in no time.

Side note: the Araasaka deck slows trace progress. Good choice if you want to stay under the radar

Maybe it’s just been a while for me but what part was this? I dont remember a section like that off the top of my head.

22 instruments is quite impressive. It’s a modest job, but a school’s band director or instructor could be within reach. High schools and colleges would likely pay best. You can also try private primary and middle schools. Provate schools will have high standards, but could pay more. Also possibly a music producer. I don’t think AI will ever really eliminate music made by people, no matter how good it gets. Session musicians can do pretty well once a reputation gets created, but that would probably be more a long-term investment. I’m not sure what you’ve done musically, but a mic and audio card/receiver plus sailing the high seas for software is a cheap way to get into making your own music.

There’s also getting a different job until the music tree bears fruit. I’m not doing what I want yet, but I’ve worked my way high enough in my company that, hopefully soon, I’ll be able to get back to what I actually want to do (engineering). It’s frustrating, but having a future goal that I’m working towards and steps I can take once I’m making enough helps make it bearable.

I would hold onto Charlotte if at all possible. If you love and take care of her, you’re a good person for her to be with. Pets can be our rocks, without which it is easy to be swept away by despair. Your career status has nothing to do with being “worthy” of a pet. Love and basic necessities are what they need. That said, i get where you’re coming from. I’m waiting to get a cat until I know for sure I can afford and have certain furniture after my recent move. But again, having that goal helps me slog through the stuff I don’t like. You already have her, and I think losing her would likely be a terrible outcome for both of you.

You are worthy of her, you are worthy of love from others, and you are worthy of love from yourself. Godspeed.

Tbf i think it’s because he’s at the apex of his jump (like 6in off the ground lol) so the gut kind of shifted up as he came back down. Doesn’t make the image any less absurd, but it came to mind when I didn’t even recognize the dude. I think the same thing is happening to his jowls in the photo. Either way the man-child is ridiculous. And so is the other one.

Encino Man 2: Neolithic Boogaloo

I can already see those gauntlets flapping

The “Community” tab on a game in your library or the store page, I forget which. It’s usually filled with guides, art, highlights, and a heavy dose of shiposting (often in the form of fake guides). Have not encountered posts OP is referring to, but I don’t really go on there much.

Made the switch to Tidal, and I only have a couple nitpicks: no console app and it does this weird thing on desktop where it plays a split second of paused music when other apps or windows are opened. They’re small things though, and I’m happy to be supporting artists more.

They have left-hand hardware that has a thumb analog stick and a bunch of mapable keys. Problem is getting games to use “controller” functions like analog sticks and mouse functions at the same time. I haven’t tried it myself, but apparently most games don’t have a way to recognize and use that as a keyboard function

Not the person you replied to, but I was the same way until I realized all my favorite artists were either dying or retiring and chances to ever see them were slipping away, and quickly. I just go to whatever shows I can and just be present in the moment. Even small local shows. I’ve found a bunch of cool artists by going to shows with artists I don’t even know.

Like, imagine having the opportunity to see a Zeppelin show in their prime, then imagine thinking about going, then saying “meh.” I couldn’t even comprehend the regret I would feel passing something like that up. And it circles back to not knowing you’re in the “good old days” until they’re already past. I just don’t want to look back at missed opportunities and kick myself for the rest of my life.

Like they said, it’s not for everyone, especially not these days. Ticketmaster is a plague, most shows are ridiculously overpriced with food and drink to match, and way too many people are focused on taking a video they’ll never watch. But if things only get worse, I’m going to go down swinging and keep going to shows until doing so would financially break me.

Fun game. I don’t usually go in for card games, so I ignored the hype, but this is a good one. Got to ante 4 a few times over the last couple of hours before rng killed me. I’m sure I’ll get my money’s worth out of this one

I have a similar line of thinking. I’m a musician, so if I was filthy rich I might want to donate money to a school’s music department. If the school is one fiscal entity, I would have to put that as a stipulation to ensure they gave the money to that department, not divert it to something overfunded or just padding the board’s pocket as bonuses for “a job well done”

Same. Is it me or do only like 50% of videos on Lemmy actually play on Boost?

This is outrageous. Where are the bags of garbage that come in to take the socks away? Where are they? This kind of condition is never tolerated in my dresser. You have a hole like that I put you in the trash. Right away. No second chance, no nothing. Socks with holes in the heel, I have a special trash can for holes in the heel. You are ripping: right to the trash. You are having moth holes: right to the trash can, right away. Sock legs too loose: trash. Tight: trash. They get that way where the threads inside tangle up with the toes: you right to the trash. Sock has no padding? Believe it or not, trash. Sock has too much padding, also trash. Not padded, over-padded. Sock was part of a unique set and the other is gone, believe it or not, trash, right away. I have the best sock drawer in the world because of trash.

So gentle
