This may be a nonsense suggestion but is the game trying to activate the headphone mic?

If so this could be switching it to a different mode and cutting your headset audio quality in half.

EDIT: two other people suggested the same thing at the same time, never mind :)

Y'all got any of that ECC?

For real. It's an amazing game that just can't be the same again once you know all its secrets.

I bought it for two of my friends, and they both ended up hating it lol. I don't blame them, but I think it's very much to do with the mentality of how you approach the experience.

One friend just got plain stuck and gave up. The other found it frustrating that they were doing the same thing several times over, and just wanted to rush as quickly as they could to make progress.

Personally, I enjoyed the slow pace of discovery. I loved that feeling of being a true explorer, discoving facets of lost civilisation. Watching in melancholic awe as a world crumbled around me. Finding just a small piece of new information was always a joy, and made it feel worthwhile to get there, even if I'd done 90% of the journey before.

Slowly getting richer in a game where the only currency is knowledge.

Time to start a boycott movement against Black Ops 6 :)

Hexagons are the bestagons, after all

"Fuck you in particular"

I hope thats "10" in binary

I also got "Pattern on the beach towel is wavy lines rather than straight lines" but now I'm not certain it isn't just image compression artifacts.

So, Calyx or Graphene to ensure this AI garbage can be disabled, I suppose.

This is great, honestly.

If you go back to antiquity, education was about philosophy. It was about learning how to observe, and think critically, and see the world for what it is.

And then in modern times, education became about memorisation - learning facts and figures and how to do this and that. And that way of teaching and learning just doesn't fit any longer with what our digital age has become.

In my opinion, we are heavily overdue for a revamp of what education should be, and what skills are most important to society in this post-truth world. Critical thinking is an important foundation to real knowledge that we don't teach enough.

For you, maybe it was.

The point of good presentation and design cues is that they can make information instantly clear to almost everyone, no matter if their brain is the size of TON 618, or not.

The problem is the layout.

It needs horizontal dividing lines to show that the bodies are presented in pairs at the same scale.

When you first look at it, it seems like all six are in one picture at the same scale, then you start noticing things appearing twice, and think "hang on that's not right" and work it out, but just two lines would have solved it immediately.

Design, people! Design!

My grandmother was into collecting thimbles, when she was still alive.

As a child, whenever I went away somewhere on a trip with my parents and we saw a souvenir thimble, I'd always want to get it for her.

Looking back as an adult, I'm quite sure now that she didn't really care that much about the thimbles at all, especially towards the end. What she really cared about was the connection it created, and the relationship with her grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

It's nice to know what someone likes, and to think of them when you see it. And every time I saw thimbles I thought of her.

In a modern context I have a friend who likes frogs, and every time I see a random frog plush or weird frog toothbrush holder or whatever it is I always think of him and want to get it for him.

Fads change but I think the reason for having them stays the same. It's nice to be into something, and for other people to know you're into it, too :)

The teaser trailer looks like a high energy superhero romp that's closer to Guardians of the Galaxy, than it is anything Star Trek.

And I just don't like the idea that section 31 is made up of a bunch of oddballs and misfits with no discipline. Makes the movie more 'exciting' I guess, but really? Section 31 should move quietly in the shadows, not all brash and ballsy.

I'm sure they are hoping this style will boost revenue by appealing to a younger demographic, but it's just totally the opposite of what I want from Star Trek.

Slow motion bullet takes about 30 seconds to reach the target during which time we get the inner monologue of every character

"It's going to miss! But wait, what's happening? The bullet is bending in midair!!! Look at his incredible pose! Did he put spin on the bullet!? This must be Free To Play Ojiisan's legendary hidden technique!"

Totally. This would be great.

If you want to see an amazing and unlikely sports show that actually exists, try Ping-pong the Animation. Art style takes a bit of getting used to but it's just such an engaging watch.

Then I think I was wrong, and you are right.

As someone not from the US I knew of zelle but never used it, and believed it was a direct competitor to Venmo or PayPal.

The reason I thought it was its own thing was because it has its own app, and a catchy silicon-valley-startup type name, and a brand logo, and all of that.

Contrast that to the UK where the ability to send free person-to-person payments has been integrated directly into the banking system for decades, and does not have it's own brand, or app or anything.

That's just a different third party, though.

Thanks for the context. Here in the UK I never experienced a website that didn't take payment via credit card directly as a first option - that's always been there default, with some sites offering PayPal as a second or third way to pay.

And about punching the numbers manually then well, sometimes a bit of Mechanical Turk works just fine lol! :)

I don't understand the PayPal one either.

Who is the 'first party' in this case? The banking system as a whole?

If it's the whole banking system then I'm not sure how that's solved, because as I understand in the US it's still not easy to send money to another private individual via the banking system. And there are Venmo and cashapp and such now but they are just other third parties.

Meanwhile in the UK here it has been possible for decades to send money between bank accounts directly, and free. I still use PayPal though, because my use for it isn't sending money to individuals, it's being able to buy things online without creating an account and without giving my card details.

Maybe people are thinking in phone terms, and the first party is "Apple" or "Google" and the solution is Apple Pay or Google Wallet?
