How the hell did the character get so viral? I've tried watching the skits several times to see if maybe I'm missing something, but for the life of me, I can't seem to see it. Is everyone just biased because it's Tom Hanks? Or is it actually hilarious, and I'm just struggling to understand the humor? Fall/Spooky season is my absolute favorite time of year, but am I just a buzz kill?

But nobody knew the serial killer was there, with a real chainsaw posing as a scare actor.

I saw a post about someone making a "controversial" opinion (their words) about liking a game everybody fell in love with. It was a well-known, widely loved, and highly praised videogame that is very good (fires of rubicon). Then, a few hours later, after we called them out on it, they deleted the post.

I usually browse rdx to stay up to date with my favorite things: games, halloween, steam deck, etc. Today, im going to bitch about the fo76 sub, and the steam deck sub. Im so, SO tired of these posts.

Fo76: so many fucking annoying posts of people jacking themselves off and farming karma. "To the level 14 player whos collectron i pillaged" blah blah blah "i didnt know you were only level 14" blah blah blah "i left you 1000 caps as an apology and im glad you could get them" blah blah fucking blah. We all know you're just jerking yourself off and farming karma. Shut the FUCK UP and stop clogging the sub reddit for actual good posts.

And steamdeck? This sub can fuck off to the furthest reaches of hell. I want tips, tricks, game performance reports, steam deck news and tech support. I dont want to see 1000 pictures of people holding their steam deck alongside some phoned in bullshit about how they're LOVING their steam deck! Congrats! You're using the device as intended! Now shut the fuck up! Fuck off! Although, my disdain for that place is in part because of the garbage, power abusing mods, these fucking posts are just karma whoring mind rot in my opinion.

And yes before you ask, i do in fact feel better now that i got that out.

Edit: Clearly the model doesnt matter. My mistake. Anyway...

So far its been running at about 38 fps for me with all settings on high. If 60 fps isnt that big of a deal to you like it isnt for me, I highly recommend it, its very pretty. I'm going to test how it runs with the new water and probably play it on ultra, just to see, depending on how things go on high.

There was some slight slow down during my playtime last night, but it was negligable. Otherwise, it still ran surprisingly well. I specified 500gb because i was under the impression each tier had different performance outputs and didnt want to speak for the other models, so my bad.

For context: I work security at a Golf/Ski resort. We are told to be "proactive" with noise complaints, and I was trained to give 3 strikes, Strike 1: friendly warning. Strike 2: More serious warning, followed with a noise complaints fee. Strike 3: Escort off the resort.

Back in February, I received a write-up for a customer complaint claiming I beat on his door, told him he was "being a dick," and that I told him to "Shut the fuck up " and that I told him I'd administer a noise complaints fee if he didn't quiet down after designated quiet hours. Apparently he was "so pissed off" he sat in the lobby for 2 hours to "avoid trouble"(on camera apparantly) and then left early due to my actions, and we had to refund his entire stay.

Here's the thing, though: he lied through his teeth because that never happened (at least the way we interacted. They never showed me this video of the guest in the lobby) .

Here's what actually transpired: The front desk called me, and said room 1017 was complaining about noise down the hall. As security, it's my job to handle that stuff. I asked his neighbor to quiet down, politely, and received no issues. However, the guest who complained was actually being much louder. I could hear him blaring music, his kids laughing and yelling, and a bunch of banging coming directly from his room. I was told by my boss to be "proactive" about noise complaints to prevent any complaints from happening and that I should get them under control beforehand. I was told that even if there were no complaints, if I heard noise like this, I was to issue a strike. So I did just that. I gently knocked on his door. He asked what the issue was and extended his hand to me (I shook it). I politely informed him of our noise policy; I didn't even issue him a strike. All I said was that it was after quiet hours, and then I kindly asked him to quiet down. I told him I didn't want to ruin his stay, and that while no complaints for him existed, I wanted to avoid any potential issues, and then I politely told him about our 3 strike process, and made it clear that he wasn't getting one, but that I would have to if he got a complaint later. He said, "Ok, ok, sir, I don't want any trouble. I'll make sure to quiet down." I smiled and said it was all good and that I wanted him to enjoy his stay. Then he closed his door, and I left. That was the extent of things.

So during the write up my boss told me they had no camera footage or witnesses to this event, but he "did some research" and apparently I brag about being aggressive to guests to other employees, and that the guest waiting in the lobby and leaving early was an "extreme reaction". He also told me, "we have NEVER done noise complaint fees."

He asked if I remembered that night. I crossed my arms and focused on his filing cabinet to think, and apparently, he "felt threatened" (???) by that, which he said was more proof I was lying and that I was "unusually aggressive." It devolved into an argument. I browsed the SoP book (security officer protocols) a few weeks later and it said, right there in the book we are told to follow, that we DO give out noise complaints fees, and I pointed that out to both my bosses and was told they'll "change it". It was, however, never changed and is still there to this day.

Fast forward, and I go from working 3 shifts a week to 2 to 1 to none for a whole month. I only recently started working again after asking if I was going to be scheduled. Plus, I specifically asked the day of the write-up if I could use my personal car to patrol. I was told yes. I've seen other officers do it, my managers do it, even the owner said it was OK. For 4 months, I was using my car with no issue. It's hard to miss, I'm in uniform, people know it's me driving, yet suddenly, tonight, my boss told me he "had no idea" I was using my car all this time, and that it "wasn't allowed". I told him even the owner said I could, and that all we needed were magnets to slap on our cars, which I called my manager for, and he mysteriously didn't remember the conversation. Am I being singled out here? I'm always the last to know of any changes as well.

I've had nothing but issues with it. I got it to work once, and now it simply refuses to work ever again. It just crashes immediately. What the hell am I doing wrong?

FINALLY! I'm super fucking stoked but I'm also super fucking overwhelmed. There's so much more to this game than I thought, and I have no idea how things work but God DAMN do I love it!

My game is modded to hell, I have a lot of them. Naturally, due to all the extra scripts and stuff, it played fine, but it had points where things would lag slightly. Plus, using a mod for punching, I would sometimes hit npcs so hard that their bodies would stretch, skew and deform to such extremes it would absolutely tank my fps and crash the entire deck. However, using 9.0, I've noticed the lag is gone, the game feels smoother, and the punching issue seems to have gone away, because it happened a few times on 9.0 but the game still ran fine. I will add, that before using 9.0 I verified the game files. So, my question is, is it the verification or the new proton that has possibly improved the game? I'm still learning as I go with this thing, so I'd appreciate it if you could help me expand my knowledge on Linux and the deck.

Sometimes I hit an npc so hard with the gorilla arms their body deforms, and the game slows to a crawl. When this happens, I have to exit the game completely. When I get to the main menu of my deck it runs fine but putting it to sleep doesn't work, it just black screens, like its struggling to get caught up from the frame drop in the game. Any idea what's happening?

I wrote the lyrics, but the music was the AI.

Back in the day, as a kid, there was a free shareware game that I played an obnoxious amount of times: Graal. Not the shitty "Graal classic" we have today, (it's a shell of its former self), but the original Graal 1.4.0; I searched EVERYWHERE and I couldn't even get a blip more than old forums about the game reminiscing about the "good old days". It's widely believed that Stefan wiped the OG versions of Graal from the map, but he didn't. But not only have I found it, I've found nearly all the player made creations for it:

The site is long since abandoned it seems, but it has EVERYTHING for the classic graal, from clients to server backups to player made levels, etc, and what's more I actually got the 1.4.0 client running nearly perfect on my steam deck. This, for me at least, is my holy grail. I have a lot of nostalgia for this old game from before it got destroyed for the shitty "new" version we have today, and with it a lot of memories flooding back to me. Probably doesn't seem like much because hardly anyone knows or cares about the original Graal, but for me, it's huge, and I just wanted to share I guess.
