I'm down with grinding and killing bad guys on loop actually. I wish "Free Guy" was a game because that looked fun to play.

I can sense this is going to get downvoted probably. I know you guys probably love all aspects of the game so it's understandable. But I'm not into story based games. I'm into more active gameplay (mostly combat/adventure), of which there is a lot in Cyberpunk that's actually good. I just want to know how to get the most action with this game and skip through the story, yeah I know I'm missing stuff, but that's not what I got the game for. I just want gameplay, not story or dialogue or choose your own adventure stuff.

I chose Corpo and I'm not sure if it's the best path since I read that it has a lot of dialogue. I'm so uninterested in the dialogue that I skip through all of it while choosing random/default options mostly, until I can get to more action gameplay or at least get to walk around and look at stuff which is fun.

I saw gameplay footage online which sold me on the game, and it had someone shooting at robots and fighting different enemies a lot with space age futuristic weaponry and settings. That's what I want from this game. How can I get to fight robots properly (not the dummy robot you have a fist fight with in the ring but actual warbots with weapons that are a real threat)? Does the Corpo go up against robots at some point or is that something reserved for Streetkid? I just want the most combat and gameplay possible with the least dialogue/story-driven stuff.

It just annoys me because I'm not going to order it and I'm abstaining from alcohol. But there's always some "special deals" being advertised by UberEats on alcohol, as well as meat, dairy and eggs. It's like they're really sleazy and desperate to hawk these products.

As strange as it may seem, I hate my accent and want to speak like an American because I think it sounds cooler and more like how I want to sound.

I've more or less perfected my version of an American accent on my own, I think.

But whenever I'm with other people who know me, I revert back to my old accent instinctively because that's how they know me to sound like. I'm unsure about how I can subtly transition without them noticing a sudden change, such as through gradual exposure to my accent changing more each time they hear it. That way I could argue that I don't know how it happened and it was a slow progression if they eventually realise it's different, rather than something forced that I started doing one day.

The biggest thing I think is changing the pronunciation of certain words with "a", such as going from "fahst" to "faast" for the word 'fast', or "mahsk" to "maask" for 'mask'. Because it's really one or the other, there's no in-between. I feel like for most other sounds, a gradual transition into more American sounds can be possible, but that one's like, how can I make the plunge and will people notice it straight away and think it's weird?

But I enjoy those mobile-only games ๐Ÿ˜… How would I play them otherwise? And I think touch interfaces allow for some gameplay you wouldn't ever get anywhere else, like swipe actions and multi-finger gestures, which you can see in games like Infinity Blade or Fruit Ninja (or even True Skate, which seems to have quite a following, not my fave personally but I can't imagine that on any other device)

The Infinity Blade or Minigore series, for example, or anything made by Illusion Labs. These games are genius and most consoles don't even have a touch screen or utilise it well like some smartphone games do.

Also why do people look at me weirdly ๐Ÿ‘€ when I play games on my phone in public while waiting for something?

Thanks, but how silly is that!. I only noticed it recently but the idea is bugging me. It feels like I have to close the chat as soon as I look away from it. I don't need that kind of "stress".

[-] PlogLod@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Use case example: You're busy doing something, but you send a message to someone and leave the chat open because you can't close it at that second. You look away from your phone and continue what you were doing. A message comes through but because the chat is open, you don't hear a sound. Then you get back to your phone 30 minutes later, and find that the person had already replied to you 27 minutes ago. If the sound still played even while the chat was open, you would have stopped what you were doing and responded to them as soon as you got their message.

27

When inside the chat itself, there is no notification sound for incoming messages. The messages just show visually, with no audio.

But when outside of the chat, or not in the messages app, the sounds occur when messages come in.

This was the case on multiple Samsung phones, and with multiple different messages apps for SMS/MMS/RCS.

Is there a way to solve this? Couldn't find any solutions after researching

I'm not trying to insult Fear The Walking Dead, I somewhat enjoy it for some entertainment value, and I wish the showrunners the best of luck with whatever they do now that the show is finishing.

But I've been wondering for a long time, why didn't Scott Gimple or AMC or someone fire those 2 after the terrible trainwrecks of season 4 and 5? What would the actual reason for keeping them on be, after such bad critical reception of those seasons? And now the ratings have just gone down and most people agree the show continued to be bad if not worse with them in charge.

They had already done the same thing previously, by firing Dave Erickson after season 3, despite most people agreeing the first 3 seasons were much better than the rest of the series and season 3 is usually cited as the best (so his firing made no sense. Another thing I'm curious about.)

I understand if Erickon didn't want to come back after they "massacred his boy", but couldn't they find someone else to steer the ship back on course after Goldberg and Chambliss proved they weren't able to make a good show out of it?

Or why do they need to change the appearance from the original version of the page at all? It just looks unaesthetic

How do you say something like that?

"There's a thing for which I don't know what it is" "There's a thing where I don't know what it is" "There's a thing that I don't know what is"

or (the one which I hear people say a lot but sounds awkward:) "There's a thing that/which I don't know what it is"?

To be honest they all sound awkward to me to varying degrees

I think quote-unquote can have the same implications, unfortunately, but good one I hadn't thought of. Maybe there's more.

As we see there are 2 meanings of "so-called" that can be confused or misinterpreted, of which one implies falsehood and the other doesn't.

One. to show that something or someone is commonly designated by the name or term specified.

"Western Countries belonging to the so-called Paris club"

Two. used to express one's view that such a name or term is inappropriate.

"she could trust him more than any of her so-called friends"

Since so-called I feel is very often used to suggest that a title for something describes a meaning that isn't necessarily accurate, what's another term that simply expresses that something is titled something without judgment of the title?

I've always wondered what stomach sleepers do with their face. Like don't you end up being unable to breathe or rubbing your nose and mouth on the blankets? Also is your neck not crooked to compensate for that?

I wish I were able to sleep on stomach or back so that I could sleep symmetrically, I think it would be better for me if I could fall asleep that way. But the sleep just doesn't come... unless I'm sideways in a fetal position, and only on one side (left side).

[-] PlogLod@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I'm sorry you were going through that, I take it by your use of past tense you no longer have that issue? If so I don't suppose you know what could have fixed it? Hope you're doing better now :)

[-] PlogLod@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I did read about a long-sleeper gene and a short-sleeper gene, which made me curious if I could be a long-sleeper

[-] PlogLod@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I know when I get complete sleep I'm fine. But it just sucks that other people can go without much sleep and be fine but I can't. It's like that actually prevents me from being awake for as many hours at night than other people can.

Fair enough, but then why did Albanese suggest he had the ability to override the vote but was opting not to?

[-] PlogLod@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

But the Australian people already voted in Anthony Albanese, so whatever he does as the democratically elected leader is basically democratic isn't it? Why would we need a separate vote for each decision when he could just make those decisions as the elected head of parliament?

(Also I would add that when people chose Anthony Albanese as PM, they would have known he intended to strengthen indigenous representation and rights, so a Yes vote for Anthony was already a yes vote for Indigenous Voice, in my view).

"Even if the choice is only illusory, it's indistinguishable from free will in every other respect... So we will treat it as such"

I like that!
