  • This aspect of gaming really annoys me. I'm old enough to have played games for months or years because I just enjoyed playing the game. This notion of unlocking shit, seasons, cosmetics etc, whilst fun to be rewarded for, should be a minor reason for playing a game. Once I've unlocked everything in Helldivers I'm likely to continue playing regardless because I find it fun - to the point where I'm not sure exactly what everyone is complaining about. So they unbalanced a weapon to make it a shadow of its former self, just use something else you sook. The tiny attention span of people these days does my head in.

    PlayStation to Shut Down New Game ‘Concord’ Two Weeks After Launch, Will Refund Players
  • Not sure on the reason for the downvotes here. My understanding is they marketed it very poorly and they brought a hero shooter to a saturated market without adding anything new

    Weekend Box Office: Deadpool & Wolverine hangs on to the top spot; Borderland a disaster
  • Check out the first Mario Bros movie (1993 I think?) if you want to feel your brain vomit out your ears. How they got to that story with the source material is anyone's guess.

    Ukrainian Olympic canoeist forced to modify ‘I am Ukrainian’ boat inscription
  • Isn't the point of the Olympics to go there and represent your country? Isn't that what people aspire to do? So fuck off with this nonsense! Let people represent themselves, or admit the Olympics is now defunct and no longer worthwhile.

    What has he done to deserve this?
  • At least be consistent with it too! I don't know what it's like in the States but internationally we don't get 7/16" bolts or whatever, we get 10-gauge or 8-gauge etc. What the fuck does that mean?? And wiring too: no 8mm wire, no no let's have 6AWG. Jesus christ it's like they enjoy making life difficult.

  • True! We used to use pounds, shillings, pence as our currency and I'm very glad I never needed to deal with that shit.

    Praise the sun!
  • Damn straight. I feel if we still worshipped nature maybe we'd take better care of it. Instead we have religions that propose we're above nature, owners of the world, and we're ripping it to shreds. Such a pity.

    What show comes to mind when you think of Canadian TV?
  • I'm probably showing my age but I can't believe no-one has mentioned Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High. I grew up with Joey, Wheels, Snake, Spike, Stephanie etc. Looking back, that was a pretty hard-hitting show aimed at teenagers.

  • I am absolutely sick of Windoze and I'm trying out Linux Mint for my work computer. This has been a bit of a learning curve but I have almost everything working the way I want... but the sticking point is my company uses Dropbox for all file sharing and repository.

    I first naively installed Dropbox from the Software Installer but that tried to sync the entire company (many TBs) to my computer. It seems there is no Smart Sync option.

    Next I installed Rclone and logged in using that, but it seems to be completely command line based which is absolutely useless. There is no way I'm going to sit here typing out full directory paths and file names every time I need to access something (which is always). I then installed RcloneBrowser, and later the Rclone web GUI, however they BOTH skip the parent folder and put me directly one level down, which is also useless.

    Ok I know what you're thinking. I need to create an alias, right? So I did, and my config file now has the lines

    [DB]

    type = alias

    remote = Dropbox:/

    but this makes no difference in the web GUI or RcloneBrowser! The frustrating thing is if I use the command line the results I get are:

    rclone lsd Dropbox:/ parent directory. Good so far...

    rclone lsd DB: parent directory! Yay! So why doesn't this work on either GUI???

    If I can't get this to work then I will have to get rid of Linux unfortunately. I can see in many forums I am not the first to have massive issues with Dropbox, but it seems the alias approach works for everyone else. What am I doing wrong?
