What search engine do you recommend that isn't Google or Bing?
  • I have heard a lot about kagi. I tried it and it was honestly kinda disappointing. For one it seems impossible to find NSFW results, which I find to make search results worse even if I'm not searching for porn. Apparently it's a conscious choice by the company to make the search engine "family friendly".

  • Steamboat Rule
  • Disney has extended the copyright several times just to keep Mickey from the public domain. The fact that the copyright has lasted for 95 years is fucking ridiculous.

  • My friend who loves the game told me about it when they stopped adding content to DS a few years ago. You can see it on the steam updates. DST gets content updates all the time but DS only gets the occasional bug fix update.

  • What's a food you love, that isn't worth making from scratch?
  • But making mashed potatoes from scratch is so easy and has way better texture.

    Btw when you say "they come in all sorts of flavours", what does that mean? Like strawberry or something? I have never seen flavoured mashed potatoes. Is it an American thing?

  • This is really hard to read because the writer just sprinkles in random swear words into every sentence. I get that that is the point, hence the name of the site, but still. I'm not saying swears are bad or something but this is just really overdone. Just tone it down a bit. A swear is fine every few sentences but this is like one or two "fucking" per sentence, even where it doesn't fit.

  • Some examples would be great because it is very unclear what you mean by any of this. What do you mean by "mental illness being casually thrown around"? As an insult? As a defense?

    Like if you are going to argue like a 5 year old and leave [downvotes] amidst a trail of pissy and shitty arguments to sweetn same, I just don't get the point.

    what does this have to do with mental illness? You are complaining about downvotes here...

  • Am I doing HDR wrong?

    I have never used an HDR display before so I'm not sure how it's supposed to look.

    I have been playing Spider-man both with and without HDR and unless I'm staring right into the sun there is literally no difference. I have always heard people talk about HDR as something incredible but I'm honestly disappointed.

    I also played Tetris effect: connected and HDR seemed to just make all the menus darker, but the rest looked the same.

    Have I done something wrong or is this how it is supposed to be?

    Why is anti-cheat always client-side?

    Why is it not more common to implement anti-cheat on the server instead of the client? Is that not more secure? Couldn't the server just check what vision a player should have and not provide any other information to prevent wallhacks or maphacks? Or check how fast it is possible to move to prevent speedhacks? Aimbot is a bit harder to detect I guess but what about the other ones?

    [Solved] Grub shows up in boot options but won't boot

    First time arch installer here. I just installed arch with grub on a uefi laptop. Everything seemed fine until I rebooted and ended up in uefi settings instead of grub. The grub entry shows up in the boot options but the computer doesn't seem to care. What could be wrong?

    I dont know what information is useful to narrow the problem down so just tell me what logs are necessary an I'll post them.

    Edit: I tried installing using the archinstall script in case I misunderstood the install instructions, but still not booting. Tried both grub and systemd-boot. The laptop is an Asus vivobook S 14 model K3402Z and even though I have been running fedora on it for the last year I believe the issues have something to do with the laptop hardware.

    Edit 2: The issue has been resolved. Turns out the step that ruined the install was when I formatted the NVME drive according to this section of the wiki it messed something up, so reverting that fixed everything.

    Xbox controller driver needs to be reinstalled constantly

    I'm on Fedora and I use the xone driver for a wireless Xbox One X/S controller. Every time I update the kernel the xone driver disappears so I need to reinstall it constantly (I assume it's because of how Fedora handles backup kernel versions). It was not like this back when I was using an arch based distro so is there a way I can make this not happen or is it just Fedora being Fedora?

    Edit: turned out something has happened with DKMS when I installed xone. I removed the xone dkms module, deleted the files associated with it and then reinstalled xone so now it works again.

    Why did nobody tell me healers are so much fun?

    This might sound obvious to some of you but I feel like I discovered something amazing I completely missed before.

    I just played a one-shot with my group and I decided to try making a healer druid (circle of dreams) because both of those are things I have never tried before. I went for a fairy because they get some innate spellcasting that seemed to complement my class pretty well, also the flying is pretty cool too.

    The characters I have played before are mainly damage focused and as a result each turn in combat is mainly just positioning and using whatever attack roll is available. The only casters I have played before have been a Warlock and a sorcerer. Both suffer from relying on a single cantrip for most damage (Fireblast and eldritch blast), especially warlocks because of the very few spell slots, so I rarely have too many good options for maximizing damage in combat. I always felt like my best option was always to use the same attack each round. It made it feel like I had no real options at all.

    Druids on the other hand have so many options it's insane. At least the fairy/druid combo I made. I had access to fairy fire and enlarge/reduce once without using spell slots from the racial feat. Balm of the summer court from the circle of dreams gave healing without using spell slots. The spells were varied and fun since I focused on a lot more than just dealing damage in combat and I had loads of spell slots to use them all. Wild shape was a nice option to have even thought I barely used it since all my casting was more useful most of the time. It was just great. Can't wait to try something similar out in a real campaign instead of just a one-shot.

    Have anyone else had a similar experience with a specific class or archetype? Would love to hear about other hidden gems like this
