Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

I have no clue what could be causing that. I'd start looking into each link in the chain and making sure it's working.

But any halfway reasonable config should be able to handle audio playback, no matter how lossless. Audio-only just doesn't achieve datarates that would choke up... Anything.

Essentially, benchmark file transfers, transcoding, etc. Make sure each step of how it works is in fact working. Check drive SMART health... Whatever you can think of.

Also logs. No need to read through thousands of lines, but looking at the lines time stamped around when the issue occurs is always a good idea. FFMPEG logs, JF logs, client player logs, does SMB or whatever network drive protocol you're using have logs? If it does, check em.

Harley Quinn was overall really good.

So this will either be surprisingly great or a complete waste of time.

What do you mean?

There's not a single thing wrong with her. She's perfect.

I bet she'd pick up the pace on executions if she realized filling up another notebook would come with another gift-receiving opportunity.

That's a cynical way to put it, if technically correct. Manipulation has a negative connotation for people, but people don't communicate for exclusively malicious reasons.

You might as well say that any conscious entity only acts out of reason, to get food, joy, rest... Or that it isn't possible to speak without words. That much goes without saying. Everyone knows that, which makes this an odd thing to bring up in this thread.

And I'd suggest that you can't prove that a conscious entity without reason ceases to act. We've all surely done something or other for "no particular reason" even if an outward observer might assign one.

Does that mean it's possible to speak without meaning anything in particular? I genuinely don't know.

But I can be sure of one thing, that speaking with the intent to achieve one thing, almost never achieves that exact thing. Is failed manipulation still manipulation? Is unintended manipulation still manipulation? People interpret meaning where non was meant all the time.

My sister plays the game a lot.

She's earned the white robe, and plays regularly to show other players around, and draw them hearts in the sand/snow.

In more ways than one.

I'm not sure any other game facilitates the kind of seamless human connection with a stranger that you can experience with another player in Journey.

It's beautiful.

I think that's supposed to be a gingerbread tram. The lights are like icing you'd do on a gingerbread house.

Naw dude you just broke it.

They are telling you to remove the markdown links entirely, and just plain write the names of the communities, they will turn into local links on most clients.

You'll want to ping my main most of the time. My account on ani.social is an alt in order for me to be able to create some communities there.

But my actual everyday use account is on sopuli.xyz, as sopuli is geographically relevant to me as a finnish citizen.

I run a lot of stuff, but I've automated away a lot of the tedium (though I still author every post) for my "moe" communities.

Means I've had more time to post to !gameart again, which is active even without me now, and steadily growing.

Thinking of setting up a community for BallisticNG as I've seen it mentioned in comments several times now, indicating there are players afoot. Might be fun to organize some tournaments.

To anyone running communities in which fanart posts are common, I run a saucebot at @saucechan, which needs to be whitelisted for any communities in which it might be useful.

Don't think so. He is also known as "ChasingArtwork", and is Canadian.

No.

Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is well understood, and an effective drug when used where applicable.

You are right in that nausea and abdominal pain are common side effects for some people, and simply means you should be trying something else. I've personally never suffered this.

Its ability to reduce fever is unclear, and even in high doses the difference it appears to make is minor. But for pain-relief there is no doubt as to its efficacy, though its effect is inferior to most other drugs available.

However, when taken together with ibuprofen, it provides pain-relief even more powerful than either drug alone.

If your problem is with the brand Tylenol advertising it like snake oil, then you likely have a point.

It can't relieve cold symptoms except for a stuffy nose or significantly reduce fever. It's basically just a very weak painkiller. I only ever take it if ibuprofen isn't doing enough.

Lots of drugs and foodstuffs have biological effects we don't understand.

Medicine doesn't always work by looking at exactly how a molecule interacts with every other molecule in a living organism, but rather by simply observing the effects.

It doesn't kill, and it works for most people. Ok, it doesn't for you, that happens. But I can tell you for a fact it does for me.

That we don't understand how it works doesn't stop it from working, and that it doesn't work for you, doesn't mean it's useless for everyone else.

I for one am happy I was able to buy paracetamol in addition to ibuprofen when I needed it to sleep during an extremely painful ear infection, because no over the counter drug on its own was enough.

If anything, public knowledge on what exactly it can and cannot do should be improved, as well as what side effects mean you need to look for something else.

I live in a country where there are strict laws regarding advertising of medical devices and drugs, so there's very little "snake oil" bs around medicines here. If you let them brands try to claim every mild effect an effective ingredient might have makes their product a cure-all for a litany of symptoms.

Asking a pharmacist for a recommendation is always a good idea, that's how I found out I could "stack" the painkilling effect of paracetamol and ibuprofen, and it worked extremely well.

Obviously, it would have been less ideal if like you I experienced side effects when taking paracetamol.

It's a zen game for sure.

Biggest adrenaline hit you'll get is flinging yourself towards the corporate store to buy more air, moving at irresponsible speeds to make it in time as you breathe your last breaths of oxygen.

Have you seen the teaser for their next game?

Looks like Doom+Metroid... Still in their glowing red cyberpunk style.
