Yeah the reduced visibility has always been a big concern for me. If I had lived in that time period, I feel I would have opted to not wear one unless in a full on battlefield where arrows are raining down.

I’ve always wondered how the fit is on those and how they were to actually wear in battle! I always imagined it to be a nuisance and get in the way of a melee battle. What did you think of the fit?
This street desperately needs some greenery in the form of trees or at least some bushes. This just looks…sad.
If it’s up to proper code then removing the battery won’t help as the detector is supposed to be hooked up to the main power, the chirp is to remind you to change the battery so that it still works in the event of a power outage.
Yep, I can’t remember the game anymore, but was super excited to be playing it as a sequel, then came upon the first escort mission… I immediatly turned the game off, and never played it again. Nothing enrages me more than artifically wasting my time/difficulty because the dev’s can’t design a mission properly without using such a shitty crutch…

1·1 month agoI’m a freelancer and a lot of my work apps require Windows or Mac. However, I remote into my company’s work machines, but the remote client doesn’t work in Linux so I have a lowered speced machine just for work, and my personal rig is much more powerful and running linux.
Even if I was freelancing completely with my own machine, I would prefer to have two seperate machines.

6·2 months agoThat really is strange. I just checked and the list is not the same as it was when I posted the link.🤔 Not sure what’s going on with the site, but I have seen many products get poor marks on there. I remember when optimum nutrition protein failed because of heavy metals. They used to show the full reports for free, now you need a membership to the site to see the full reports.

5·2 months agoThat’s why you have to do research and not just trust the labels. Labdoor (a third party testing site) has lots of proteins tested, lead and other heavy metals are part of the testing.

Just waiting for the day crowds of people like this start showing up in unmarked vans and kidnapping ICE right back. Just start swarming them and grabbing them into vans and see how they like it.
Whatever that color scheme is for all the US national parks. They picked the ugliest shades of brown and green I have ever laid eyes on. Every time I go to a national park, the facilities painted in those colors gives me a deep depression…

8·1 month agoYep I absolutely refuse to put any banking apps on my phone. The only thing that has access to my bank is me physically going there or logging into their website via my own computer. Fuck any app that asks for access to my bank account including autopay services through third parties.
The only third party service I use for payments is paypal and that only goes to my credit card.

Greentext@sh.itjust.works•Anon loves The Lord of the RingsEnglish
1·5 months agoIt’s for sure more in the hack and slash style of game play, which I can understand doesn’t fit into the witcher world that well. I just feel there is a balance to be had. I have not played the any of the dark souls series yet but I have played Sekiro, and while I think for my preference it could be a bit more responsive, I feel it achieved a good balance and is very playable.

Greentext@sh.itjust.works•Anon loves The Lord of the RingsEnglish
2·1 month agoYep tried to play Witcher 3 several times and gave up because of the ultra janky controls. I work in the industry and I just don’t understand how control schemes can still be so shitty when other games have nailed it as far back as N64. That’s not even counting how much I despise the overall industry shift towards prioritizing flowery character animations over player input, so your character always feels like there is a huge lag between player input and onscreen actions because your character is still doing the 4th twirl on his sword strike from the button you pushed 8 buttons ago…
In my opinion all characters in games should be as responsive as a fighting game when it comes to input and onscreen actions. I think the Ninja Giaden series nailed this down perfectly, compared to this level of responsiveness pretty much every modern game I’ve played feels like the characters are underwater.

I wasn’t replying to you to challenge your answer, I was just clarifying my original question. I would like to think you would say it would be an issue regardless of the gender of who asked. My original question is scrutinizing the original post’s intention as there are two issues present in the situation presented and at least on the surface they seem to take more of an issue because it was a man who asked. So If a woman asked that same woman the same question would she still respond with “Name 5 woman who trust you?” Just because a man is gatekeeping doesn’t mean he’s doing it only becausae she is a woman, he could just be a jackass who is gatekeeping and assuming he’s doing it only because they are a woman is reverse sexism.
I meant if a woman asked this same woman the exact same question, would it be ok? Or is it a problem ONLY because a man asked the question to a woman? I’ve had men and women both ask me patronzing gatekeeping questions, jackasses are not limited to one sex.
Just checking, if woman asked the exact same question would that be ok? Gatekeeping happens on both sides, not sure how this a male only issue.
I instantly thought of Jack Skellington. 😆






I always picture a swashbuckling pirate jumping down my throat, using his knife to slow down his decent like in the cartoons when they did it to the sails on the ship. ☠️
