barony!
my friends and i were just getting into the game and we didn’t know how long a good run could go.
for the uninitiated, barony is a coop roguelite that is very difficult especially in the early game, so all our runs had died relatively quickly. we had no clue that a winning run could take over 3 hours… so we celebrated our victory in the morning sunlight.
but it is a double edged sword, lol. now that i have proved to myself that those cables really will come in handy one day, i am forever stuck with a slowly growing stash of cables!
last week i needed the dvi to hdmi converter cable i’ve been saving in my cable hoard for like 8 years and i have never felt so validated
all ex-league players who i’ve spoken with (myself included) refer to league of legends and breaking free from it as if they were raised in a cult or dealing with life-ruining substance abuse that still affects them to this day
angelic 2 the core is one of the only albums i’ve ever listened to that is so bad i enjoyed listening through the whole thing. i feel like most people understand that feeling with movies, but this one album is the only time i’ve felt it with music.
i think you need to look up how supply and demand works. i’ve exhausted my “arguing with people on the internet who clearly don’t want their minds changed” time for today, so have a good one.
yeah dude vegans make up a pretty small portion of the population, so of course the meat industry hasn’t been just erased like magic. societal changes like this happen at a glacial pace and the idea is that more people become vegan over time and thus demand for those products gradually falls. even if 10% of the population went vegan, demand for those products would fall by 10% and there would be that many less animals killed for it because it would not be profitable.
to claim that it is ineffective is like claiming that eating healthy makes no difference from eating like shit after doing it for a single day and not seeing amazing results.
being vegan is literally about not supporting the meat industry, so i genuinely do not understand what you’re trying to say. that one person alone being vegan won’t make a difference? that not supporting the meat industry is the same as supporting the meat industry, which is demonstrably false? i don’t know of a more easy and effective way for a single person to make a difference than to stop supporting it altogether, and broad change starts with individuals deciding to make that change.
please explain to me how what i wrote is different from what you wrote
so you’re saying that they would just keep killing more and more animals to produce more and more meat even if nobody wanted to buy it?
they are paid because people buy the products. if nobody bought the products, there would be no money in it. are you trying to say that people would be paid to kill animals even if nobody bought animal products?
how do you think meat gets to the grocery store? someone has to kill an animal, and the person buying the meat typically pays money for it.
in case anyone is reading this looking for a solution the cable was not the culprit
saturday is factorio night! gotta improve oil processing and fix some train deadlocks (assuming all 4 of us log on, a herculean feat)
nothing in between the computer and monitor - it’s just plugged straight in. my current guess is that some step of pacman’s install/update process changes something that also gets changed by something else (DE, config file, idk) after the boot.
could you elaborate?
i’ve been just dealing with this problem for an embarrassing amount of time now, and have gone through several version updates of the nvidia drivers with this problem persisting. i’ve also tried reinstalling the nvidia drivers with no change.
no unfortunately god’s intended resolution is just slippin right into my arch install uninvited
that’s worth checking - i don’t have a spare DP cable on hand to test, but you may be onto something.
previously, i tried unplugging and replugging the cable on the PC end, as well as trying other ports, to no avail.
just now, i tried replugging the end plugged into the monitor a few times and was able to reproduce the resolution issue a single time. this honestly just confuses me more though, because why would it happen only one time out of several cycles doing the exact same thing?
i’m gonna get another cable just to be sure but that wont be for a few days at least.
hey rich people probably still say that
