HORI Steam Controller releases in the USA in December
  • Yeah the article says they don’t mention anything about rumble and the same for the older article when this was announced for Japan’s release. The Amazon page seems to indicate the same that no rumble feature exists.

    Such a weird choice to make.

  • Respect
  • I love seeing all the people get mad that they can’t do this now that my local city has effectively banned visitors during flower season :)

    You can still see it from afar, but a bunch of people got mad because they drove over two counties to trample and crowd the flower fields for their own selfish desires only to find that the area has been blocked off completely to cars and people.

    Get fucked in the nicest way possible. Enjoy it from a distance like a normal person so everyone else can enjoy it and so the damn flowers can keep coming back each year.

  • Someone recorded me without permission and uploaded it to YouTube
  • YouTube has a very strict copyright system in place that favors the person making the copyright over the uploader. I say this to say that you could flag it for copyright because of your resemblance being shown and get the video removed.

    The next part that would follow is for the uploaded to appeal to the copyright claim. Depending on YouTube’s decision, either they reject or approve his appeal. If his appeal is approved, then the video comes back up and the next copyright claim is for the courts. If YouTube doesn’t approve his appeal, then they refer it to the courts. That’s what I remember from the last few times I’ve seen YouTubers dealing with claims on their videos, regardless whether there was merit or not.

    Most YouTubers back off when YouTube refers them to court because it’s too much of a hassle.

    You may want to consider this for yourself to get the video removed if that’s what you’d like.

    Only drawback is the Streisand Effect where others or the uploader make the video more popular and reupload it out of spite. Doubtful but it could happen under the right circumstances.

  • What's the grimmest job you ever had?
  • Changing literal adult diapers. It was for adults with developmental disabilities.

    Also as part of the job, I was punched, spit in the face, slapped, cursed at, and was also sexually assaulted by an older guy on a few occasions (I’m also a male).

    Though one of the last times I remember being punched, it was because I was trying to break up a fight between two guys and the one bigger guy threw his punch and it hit me in the chest. The whole time the fist was coming at me, I was expecting it to hurt since he was large. I barely felt it and tried not to laugh as I kept trying to break them up. Not saying that like I’m tough, because I am not and was much smaller than he is, but his punch really was that weak lol

    Fun times…

  • Orac-ify
  • They did use the same voice actress as the video game on the Windows version, I can confirm. Or at least it was a very good imitation.

    I was really hyped for Cortana on Windows and then that faded pretty quick. But I remember hearing her voice and thinking how cool that was.

  • If you had an imaginary friend, what did they look like? How did they act?
  • When I was younger, my imaginary friend’s name was Tony. Couldn’t tell you what he looked like though.

    But I couldn’t stop laughing the first time I saw this on Malcolm in the Middle https://youtu.be/LQCzejDV7cY?si=R-smlPQ-HpPN0zD3 because I did have a weird fascination with that name as a kid.

  • Unemployed, one year later.
  • Sometimes I google painless ways to die.

    I can relate to this feeling. It’s like feeling suicidal, without actually the planning or action, but a wishful type of feeling.

    I was feeling this at my last job because this woman who worked an enforcement type position was legitimately harassing me for some reason. She made up lies and enabled others to lie to hurt me. I had worked hard in that industry that covered a county and built a name for myself, partially off the name my family had built in the industry, but was getting my own name because of the hard work I was doing. I was no longer “so and so’s son”, I was now being recognized by my name. And she just came in and messed it all up for me, made me look really stupid, and worse, it was all lies. I couldn’t do anything to reverse the situation. I tried speaking up and was called a liar publicly. I felt powerless and helpless. I still have no idea why she had it out for me. I worked very well with all of her colleagues and those who worked there before her with no issues. I had also been taken advantage of by a coworker at this time, really a family friend who had known me since I was a toddler, and she used that to deceive me instead of just being upfront with her intentions which would have been a lot easier to work with. All while dealing with a close family member going through stage 4 cancer.

    I often “fantasized” about ways I could end it all without actually going through it or would take me out. I would be driving and fantasize about the idea of just letting go and letting my car run into a nearby tree at a high speed or off a cliff into the ocean…

    Thankfully I (obviously) never did and ended up switching industries and moving out of the area entirely and now I honestly can’t even remember her name. With being out of that position, that family friend’s betrayal no longer follows me. My family member has since passed, but I am at peace knowing they are no longer in pain.

    I’ve been in a good position ever since then in nearly every way. My new career is something I’m more passionate about and feeling more content. I actually have a work life balance now. I get along with everyone at my newer job and also don’t have to work with an overseeing agency like hers. My boss is amazing, and always has been from the moment I met him. I’m also glad to not be supervising anyone anymore. That was a hell of its own too.

    I’m sorry you’re going through this and feeling this way. It sucks that having a job is so much a necessity that it can cause this feeling in us.

    I suppose the moral of my story is that everything in life is temporary, which is both a blessing and a curse, but a blessing to you right now to know that what you’re going through can be temporary. There is an end and it can and will come. There is a light at the end of the tunnel that you can come out of this and find a decent job again and find fulfillment in yourself again. Though, I hope the feeling of fulfillment comes before that because your purpose in life shouldn’t come from what you do, but who you are as a person. I don’t say that to put you down with how you’re currently feeling and apologize if that’s how it came across.

    Is there any way you can volunteer? As I write this, I wonder if that can help in some ways. For you to get out physically and not have to be in the same physical location all day which can be damaging for your psyche. For you to find some fulfilling purpose again outside of yourself. For you to see a different side and find reasons to be glad you’re still here. For you to potentially have exposure to others who may recognize your contributions and help you find a position elsewhere. All things that I think could help improve your current life situation.

  • Luma Island devs spent an 'enormous amount of effort' to make it smooth on Steam Deck
  • This sounds amazing. I’m just now hearing about this game and hearing it’s made with the Steam Deck in mind is an added bonus.

    They know their audience because this is going to be very popular with people on the go and wanting something on the Deck.

  • Should christian train martial arts?
  • There are some dojos that are run exclusively and explicitly by Christians who focus in on the martial arts as it relates to exercise and self defense and then some incorporate Christian themes in where the eastern religious themes would be.

    I attended at least one of these growing up where we were taught the fundamentals of the martial art and they incorporated Christian themes in. We didn’t do any meditations of any kind, unless you count praying as a form of meditation. We were taught virtues such as respect but it wasn’t necessarily always grounded in Christianity.

    Though there are also many different forms of martial arts, and not all come from places where religion has been part of it like Jiu Jitsu from Brazil but not having any religious themes involved despite it originating from Japan.

    What are your goals in learning and practicing a martial art? Is there a specific type you have been interested in that heavily incorporates these religious elements?

    Who are Canadian politicians arguing to?

    I sometimes see clips pop up on YouTube shorts of Trudeau and Poilievre arguing back and forth but their focus doesn’t seem to be on each other but looking in the same direction, occasionally looking at the other when taking a shot.

    Me as a non-Canadian, I’m not familiar with this. What exactly are they doing and who are they directing these to? Is it one person or many others or is it to be in general to the Canadian population?

    I prefer not knowing anything beyond the title, poster, and rating of a movie before going to see it

    I went and saw The Wild Robot over the weekend without knowing a single thing about it and ended up enjoying the movie a lot. I truly think part of that was not knowing anything about the movie except seeing the poster, knowing the title, seeing the rating, and knowing it was for kids and was animated (which was evident by the poster and rating). Beyond that, I was clueless. I didn’t even know if the robot would talk or not. The story unfolding out for me entirely was nice to experience.

    I won’t ruin any parts of the movie for anyone who may be in my position too, but if you’re into animated kids movies with a hint of sci-fi, you’ll probably like this movie.

    I only became aware of this movie as I was checking on times for Alien Romulus and saw this instead. My girlfriend’s son is obsessed with robots so I knew this was likely a movie he’d like to see.

    The only place where I’m bombarded with ads anymore is on YouTube on my phone and TV where my adblockers don’t work. So I had never had this movie advertised to me in the usual way others have been.

    With the way YouTube ads work, I usually get bombarded with the same repetitive trailers that make the movie obnoxious to me after seeing the same trailer for the 100th time. And it seems that the theme over the past few decades is to spoil parts of the movie in the trailer. Like one of the trailers for Dogman that was shown before The Wild Robot in the theaters tells us how Dogman becomes Dogman… Being for kids, I’m sure it doesn’t matter and it’s not the focal point of the movie, but like, I would have preferred to find that out when watching the movie, not beforehand.

    Speaking of Alien Romulus, I’m a fan of the Alien movies but the trailer before Deadpool 3 showed soooo many of the crew’s deaths that it really spoiled the movie. Part of my thrill of the Alien movies for me is finding out who survives from the crew of each movie. But not this one… which is why I still haven’t seen it. I just felt really unmotivated to go see it when it released last month and I didn’t see it this weekend because I’m okay with waiting for it to release for home and maybe I’ll forget what I saw in the trailer by then.

    But The Wild Robot was exciting and very enjoyable and I think a lot of that had to do with the fact I knew very little.

    I know that a lot of people share the same sentiment about trailers spoiling the movie, but my unpopular opinion is that I don’t want to see anything about it beforehand, in most cases. Give me a poster, title, rating, and I can figure out the rest as to whether I’d like to watch it or not.

    This is not to say that movies should never have a trailer of any kind. No, far from it. Just don’t advertise the trailer so repetitively and even more than that, make the trailer available for watching on demand. If I am interested but still on the fence because your poster or title didn’t convey enough, then I can go searching for the trailer on a site like YouTube and watch it for myself.

    Where do most of the famous musicians keep their musical instruments?

    Talking about those artists who are world famous and always have their treasured instrument(s) like Willie Nelson and his “Trigger” guitar.

    Where do these artists typically store their instruments when not performing? If on tour, do they keep it on the bus or in their room?

    I know everyone is different, but just wondering about some examples and/or the general places they’d keep them.

    Voyager now refreshes when leaving the app

    Hey all,

    I upgraded to iOS 18 yesterday, so wondering if this is possibly due to that or something on the Voyager app’s side.

    I’ve noticed today that if I’m on my profile’s page, or viewing a specific post, or browsing a specific community, and then I leave the Voyager app for a time to go to another app or the iPhone’s “desktop” and then come back to Voyager, Voyager will do a refresh and then go to the main page, which I have set to show All. It also refreshes the All feed whereas before it would stay where I left it when browsing All.

    Is this a new update or did iOS 18 implement something that is causing this? Anything that can be done to not allow this to happen?

    Thank you!
